POHSY*TO IMPROVE svs it coEsn f P. R. R. Planning to Build Annex to Repair Shops as Result of Interstate Commerce Special to The Telegraph Cresson. Pa.. July 12. Because of the fact that the Interstate Commerce Commission has issued an order pro hibiting the hauling of defective cars through tunnels, the Pennsylvania Uailroad, it is reported, has decided to enlarge and extensively improve its re pair shops in Cresson. No official state ment could be obtained and the report is unconfirmed. However, railroad men give much credence to the story. There are few places along this sec tion of the Pittsburgh Division where cars can be repaired. Often times break downs occur in this part of the moun tain. but there was no great inconveni ence as long as the cars could be taken on east, through the Gallitzin tunnel, to Altoona or other points where there are shops. Since the new ruling of the commis sion. however, it is necessary for the Pennsy to provide more and bigger re pair shops. Cresson has been selected as the point for this kind of work on i this part of the division, it is said: The new shops will be built as an ad dition to the original shop building, it I is reported. The company owns consid erable ground in the vicinity of the present shops and has plenty of space 1 on which to erect the new plant. The , old shops are only equipped to repair ; wooden cars. The new plant will re- i pair both steel and frame rolling stock. ' New Passenger Agent For Lehigh Valley Railroad By Associated Press Xcw Tork. July 13.—George H.

TUESDAY EVENING NOW STEELTON COP i UGHSATBURGESS Borough Council Reinstates Patrol man Who Has Been "Making Fool of Wigfield" It was necessary last evening for the presiding officer of Steelton's council ' to cast the deciding vote when coun | cil deadlocked on a resolution to re -1 instate Patrolman Clinton Jones, who i automatically resigned from the force ! by remaining off duty thirteen days ! without permission from Burgess ] Fred Wigfield. The burgess sent council a letter 1 calling their attention 10 the officer's i absence. He reported that in pursu- I ance to the police regulations he had 1 informed the officer that it would be | necessary for council to reappoint him j before he could report for duty. : After reading the letter, Mr. Ca ] pella moved that the communication ! be received and that the officer be re • instated. Mr. Waggenbaugh opposed ; the motion and called attention to the ! recent controversy between the pa , trolman, Burgess Wigfield and coun | cil, Mr. Reisch also opposed the mo tion, saying, "We should give that of ! ticer no further consideration. He is j trying to make a fool of the burgess j and evidently will not obey any regu -1 lations." Mr. Waggenbaugh and Mr. [ Zimmerman also took the stand that | the officer should be dismissed. Mr. ; Henderson and Mr. Capella said no i charges had been preferred and that ; inasmuch as the officer merely failed I to report for duty, they thought Jones' should be put back on the force. Sellers Does the Trick When a vote was called, Messrs. Nelly, Capella and Henderson voted reinstate Jones and Messrs. Reisch. Waggenbaugh and Zimmerman voted against reinstatement. Mr. Sellers. I who was in the chair in the absence of President Revnders then cast his vote in favor of reinstatement. Mr. Harlan, the only other member pres ent, declined to vote. Following the council meeting, a Question was raised whether or not council's action really put Patrolman Jones back on the police force. Sec tion 21 of the borough police regula tions, the section which Burgess Wig field called council's attention to, reads as follows: "Leave of absence from the bor ough can only be obtained by anv ! policeman from the Chief Burgess and must never be asked for without i adequate cause: Provided. That leave 1 of absence shall not be granted by 1 the Chief Burgess for a longer period than 24 hours at any one time with- , out the consent of the police commit- i tee of the town council first had and obtained, and any disobedience of this rule shall be regarded as a resignation fro_m the force." Some of the councilmen hold that inasmuch as the officer's action was equivalent to a resignation he should have been re-elected instead of rein- , stated. ote Down Salary Booster An attempt to boost the salary of, r.dward Lewis, recently appointed 1 plumbing inspector and secretary of the board of health, was voted down i by council. Mr. Capella, who made I the motion to reinstate Jones, ottered i the resolution increasing Mr. Lewis' j salary to $75 a month. Upon motion ; of Mr. Nelly the resolution was 1 tabled. Lpon motion of Mr. Henderson the i ordinance committee was instructed to t have drawn an ordinance to adopt Hyacinth alley, between Mohn and Highland streets. A new sanitarv, sewer will be laid in this street. Other matters under the highway department included council's author ization to repair many sections of the borough streets, to notify interested parties to repair Front street paving and to take steps to stop overflow of surface water in vicinity of St. Ann's ! Church. New Bleacher for Filter Council appropriated S3OO to the water board to purchase a new "bleaching" apparatus for the filter plant. A resolution permitting the bor- ; ough secretary to purchase a new let- j ter file and to have window screens and screen doors placed on the police station was passed. Daniel Seaslioltz. Harry Keim and Benjamin Shrauder were confirmed as subdrivers for the West Side Hose 1 Company. The finance committee's recommen- I dation that tax exonerations to the '• amount of $2,386.63 be made was i accepted.

American Ship Used as Shield by Submarine By Associated Press Liverpool, July 13.—How an Amer ican ship is alleged to have been used as a shield by a German submarine before sinking another vessel is re lated by the members of the crew of the American bark Normandy which has arrived here from Gulfport, Miss.

The captain was called aboard . the submarine, where his papers were . examined and found to show that the ; ship was chartered by an American ! firm January 5. The captain of the bark, it was as . serted, was allowed to return to the > Normandy, but under threat that his . ship would be destroyed unless he , obeyed orders. These orders, it was . stated, were that he was to act as a , shield for the submarine, which lay around the side of the bark, hiding I itself from an approaching vessel. ; This vessel proved to be the Russian ; steamer Leo. Presently the sub . marine submerged and proceeded 3 around the bow of the Normandy so the story went, and ten minutes later the crew of the Normandy saw the Leo blown up.
