The Western Outbreak.—State Vet
erinarian C. J. Marshall said to-day
that the State was amply protected
against any shipments of swine or
cattle from the district near Cfiicago
where the foot and mouth disease had
reappeared after 90 days' lapse. The
situation, said he, showed the value of
a stiff federal quarantine. The State
is protected by its own regulations and
the federal government, he said, backs
them up.
» In Ohio. Commissioner Jackson
is in Ohio on personal business. He
had a consultation last night regard
ing labor regulations with Commis
sioner Mulready, of Massachusetts.

agents and chemists will look into it.
The Coatesville Case.-—Attorney Gen
eral Brown was in consultation to-day
with State officials regarding the
Coatesville water works situation and
it is regarded as improbable at the
Capitol that any court action will be
taken immediately. Plans are being
discussed for a hearing before the
State Water Supply Commission on
the application of the Coatesville man
ufacturers for a revocation of the per
mit for construction of the plant. This
permit was suspended for sixty days
by Commissioner of Health Dixon.
The application for revocation is being
considered by the Water Supply Com
mission and it is contended that there
Is another site available, which has
abundant water supply and is not
likely to cause any danger.
Helping Erie. Suggestions have
been made by officials of the State
Water Supply Commission to Erie au
thorities, following a series of inspec
tion and conferences, that the city of
Frie have a comprehensive survey of
the whole Mill creek watershed made
by engineers and plans made for con
trol of the waters of the area. The
suggestion was also made that pend
ing the making of the survev no en
croachments on the banks be per

LIGHTNER—THE WINNER
LOCAL MILLS HAVE
ENORMOUS CAPACITY
[Continued From First Page.]
stroyers and colliers, can be turned out
by the company and that government
for these articles have been
filled within the past few years. Su
perintendent Irons said that the com
pany could produce about 10,000 tons
of the product in a month.
At the Pennsylvania Steel Company,
Charles R. Holton, secretary to the
vice-president, said that the Steelton
plant has been turning out steel bars
for government shells, but that he was
not positive of the'capacity of the
plant. He said, however, that should
a government letter of inquiry be re
ceived that he would determine the
amount that could be supplied.
Commenting upon this inquiry the
[Washington correspondent of the Iron
Age, a conservative journal of the
iron and steel trades, to-day says:
"The government has always rec
ognized that its own arsenals would
be entirely Inadequate for the supply
of war material which would be re
quired to meet an emergency of war,
and it has been its usual practice, in
time of peace as well as In time of
war, to call upon the private indus
tries of the country for the supply of
a good deal of material of this class.
To this end the Ordnance Depart
ment endeavors to keep itself informed
as to the establishments in the country
which are able to produce war mate
rial of various classes, and their ca
pacity for such production. The de
mand for war material by European
belligerents has caused such kaleido
scopic changes and such an unexpect
ed expansion of the facilities of Amer
ican manufacturing companies, par
ticularly for the production of certain
classes of ammunition, that corre-1
sponding Increase of activity on the
part of the Ordnance Department is
entailed in order that its Information
may keep reasonable pace with this
expansion. While this expansion has
probably not yet ceased, it has reached
such a stage as to warrant something
like a general Inquiry on the part of
the government as to the manufactur
ing facilities which have already been
called into existence, and to this end
letters of Inquiry are being sent out
to manufacturers, accompanied by
certain illustrative sketches and forms
for the purpose of making replies
easier.
"It will be understood, of course,
that the War Department Is not now
in the market for such material, hav
ing no special funds which are appli
cable for its purchase, and the limit
ed funds which are at its disposal from
current appropriations l.ot requiring
any special inquiry for their; expendi
ture.
Text of the I<etter of Inquiry
"The letter of the Ordnance Bureau
addressed to manufacturers is as fol
lows:
" 'Gentlemen: 1. Prior to the out-
I break of the present European war the
Urdnance Department compiled from
j the best data then available the prob
jable output of ordnance material from
i establishments in this country that
I might be expected, in the event of an
emergency. The enormous expendi
ture of such material in the present
conflict abroad, however, indicates that
the estimates of the department for a
reserve supply and for an increased
output in case of war have been too
low, and a larger production must be
provided for.
" '2. While it is generally under
stood that the increased demand for
war material has resulted in a marked
expansion in many of the commercial
plants of this country the produc
tion of this class of material, it is
believed that there are a number of
plants not now so engaged, which
with their present equipment or rela
tively minor additions thereto, could
undertake the manufacture of certain
articles, which in the event of an
emergency would be required in large
quantities. Among the articles large
quantities of which would be needed,
are shrapnel cases, shrapnel heads,
common steel shell, parts of fuses, and
brass cartridge cases. These articles
with their principal dimensions and
general specifications are shown on the
Inclosed print and this department
would appreciate any information you
may care to give concerning the pres
ent or prospective capacity of your
own plant for their production.
" '3. A blank for this purpose is in
closed and you will note that provision
has been made for entering the capac
ity of your plant for the forgings with
out the machine work, for the machine
work only, and for furnishing' the
completed article. Of course, it is to
be understood that the department is
not now In the market for this mate
rial and that no promise of an order
is involved in this inquiry.
" '4. Where more than a month is
required after receipt of order to reach
the maximum production, kindly state
the output for each month until the
maximum shall have been reached.
" '5. Any reply which you may
make to this inquiry will be considered
as confidential if you so desire.' "
City of Warsaw Has
Suffered Little Loss
Lodz, Russian Poland, Aug. 12, via
London, 3 p. m. —The City of Warsaw,
the center of the recent colossal cam
paign for the Vistula line, suffered
comparatively little from the battles
which raged around It and from the
process of Its evacuation by the Rus
sians. Although fears nad been ex
pressed that the Russians In leaving
the city might repeat the century-old
precedent a' Moscow and set the town
on fire, they did not do so. The water,
gas and electric plants were left In
working order, and only in Praga
were the water mains damaged in
several places by explosions.
The Russians retired in such haste
at the last moment that they omitted
to carry out measures they had plan
ned.
HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
COMMISSION 10
IRK UPDECISHS
Public Service Not Likely to Have
Any Hearings During the
Next Fortnight
The Public Service Commission will
devote next week and probably the
week following to sessions for con
sultation on decisions. Ever since the
present commissioners took office
there have been hearings held, leaving
very little time for decisions. It is
the intention to schedule very few,
if any hearings for the next two
weeks and to clear up as many of
the pending cases as possable. Mem
bers of the commission have been
W IJ on °P' n ' ons and a number of
considerable importance are about
ready to be issued. In the last few
months the business of the bureaus
has expanded considerably, over 2,000
tariff schedules passing through the
i!!\ eau 0 ' rates and tariffs alone,
while numerous complaints involving
engineering inspections were filed.
The application of the Allen Street
Railway Company for the approval
of a crossing at grade over the tracks
of the Lehigh and New England Rail
road npar Bath, Northampton county,
was considered at a hearing before
the Public Service Commission late
yesterday. Former Attorney General
Kirkpatrick appeared for the peti
tioners and William J. Turner for
the railroad company. The latter op
posed the application and reminded
the commission that the courts of
Northampton county have issued an
injunction restraining the Street Rail
way Company from crossing the rail
road tracks and that this injunction
is based on an act of assembly. The
trolley people claim that by reason
of the topography of the country an
overhead or undergrade crossing is
not safe or reasonably practicable and
that In order to avoid a crossing at
grade there wpuld be an expenditure
of SIO,OOO.
During the course of the hearing
the commissioners made It plain that
as a general proposition they are op
posed to grade crossings and that the
parties who come before them for
crossings of this character must es
tablish a strong rase before their
application is seriously considered.
John O. Ulrich, of Tamaqua, filed
a complaint against the Eastern Penn
sylvania Light, Heat and Power Com
pany of Pottsville for refusing to ex
tend its lines to furnish service to the
complainant.
The bureau of rates and tariffs of
the commission had a busy month
during July. During that period there
were filed with it 2,049 tariff sched
ules, 2,067 transmittal sheets, 1,174
letters and special petitions were han
dled. There were twenty-nine con
aurrences and twenty-one informal
complaints were adjusted.
Increased Sales Advance
Prices in Pig Iron Market
In its weekly review of the iron and
steel trades to-day, the Iron Age says:
"Active buying at advancing prices
I has centered attention on the pig iron
market. Steel-making pig iron has
led in tonnage and has advanced $1 a
ton in nearly all markets except Chi
cago. Thus the heavy demand for
open-hearth steel which caused so
abrupt a rise in billets is now also the
dominant factor in pig iron.
"Signs have multiplied that after
many months of groveling prices a
seller's market has returned. While
there is no scramble for finished ma
terial, some manufacturing consumers
who made large contracts at prices $2
to $3 below present levels are finding
it difficult to get full deliveries—a con
dition that has been known to bring
on buying to forestall further ad
vances.
"In eastern Pennsylvania sales of
3 5,000 tons of basic Iron have been
made to three steel companies, the
earlier transactions being at sls, but
this week $15.25 delivered was paid
for 10,000 tons, St. Louis and Indiana
sales amount to 20,000 tons. Southern
Ohio reports a sale of 20,000 tons, and
inquiries are pending in the Middle
West for 60,000 to 75,000 tons. Ohio
and Chicago district furnaces have
taken some business which the sharp
advances of Southern producers put
out o fthe latter's reach."

Young Sundown is a product of the
friendly bouts in idle hours about the
steel works and the exhibition bouts
held from time to time on Hess' Inland

the borough. He will challenge the
professional to a "finish" match, beat
three out of Ave falls. Sundown has
acquired quite a reputation as an ama

and Reading. In practically all his
matches the young 'ateelworker has
come away victorious and his friends
feel sure, now that he has taken on \

account of himself.
To-day's rain is not expected to in

AUGUST 12,1915-
Mill ARRESTED NOT
"MET FIEND"
So Believe Police After Hearing in
Room of Sick Woman; Have
No Clues
Propped up in pillows on a couch In
the sitting room of her home, 669
South Front street, this morning, Mrs.
Annie Gutschall identified Joe Caleta,
a South Third street foreigner, as the
man who entered her home late on
Tuesday night and attacked her.
This was the only development In
the mysterious "hatchet fiend" cases
which have stirred Steelton recently
within the past twenty-four hours.
Caleta was taken into custody yes
terday by Constable Jonn Gibb, after
he had escaped from William M.
Gutschall, husband of the woman who
was assaulted, through the aid of a
menacing crowd of foreigners.
This morning he was taken to the
scene of the attack where Squire
Thomas V. Gardner conducted a pre
liminary hearing. On account of the
precarious condition of Ivirs. Gutschall,
who is an invalid, now serlously-ill as
a result of her nervous shock Tues
day night, the hearing could not be
held in the Squire's office.
After declaring that Caleta was the
man who attacked her, Mrs. Gutschall
described how the foreigner had enter
ed her home during her husband's
absence, and how she escaped his at
tack and rushed to the front porch
where she was found in a swoon by
her husband. .
Caleta was represented by Robert
Rosenberg, attorney, who declined to
allow his client to taxe the witness
stand. After the woman's husband
testified concerning his pursuit of
Caleta, his capture and subsequent
escape after other foreigners came to
his aid, Squire Gardner held the
foreigner for court. In default of sl,
500 ball he was sent to Jail.
After questioning Caleta, Squire
Gardner is of the opinion that he can
not be connected with any of the half
dozen or more mysterious assaults
I upon sleeping women, whiCn have stir
-1 red Steelton recently. In answer to a
question from the Squire, nowever, the
prisoner admitted that he was in the
West Side Monday night—the evening
Mrs. John Patterson of 401 Francis
street, was attacked with an ax.
Mrs. Patterson, the latest victim of
the "hatchet fiend' is still in the Har
risburg hospital. Physicians there,
however, now hope for her recovery.
Police Are at Sea
Now that it appears Caleta has no
connection with the mysterious
"hatchet fiend" and his' work, the
Steelton police are entirely at sea.
They have no clue upon which to
work.
So shrewd is the "hatchet fiend," It
developed to-day, that lv» apparently
covers every trace of his going and
coming and takes nothing In his raids
which might result in a clue leading
to his capture.
Monday night when the mysterious
criminal attacked Mrs. Patterson and
robbed her house and an adjoining
home, he took nothing but money and
Jewelry. In selecting the Jewelry the
thief carefully avoided those articles
bearing any identifying marks. A
number of plain rings were stolen but
an engraved necklace, of far more
value than all the other loot com-I
blned, was left behind.
So alarmed have become the resi- ,
dents of Steelton and particularly;
those residing near the foreign sec- j
tlons, where the "hatchet fiend" seems
to ir.ake his most frequent visits, that
they have appealed to Burgess Fred i
Wlgfleld to ask for State Police to help I
apprehend the criminal. At least a I
•core of appeals, the burgess says,
have been made to him for additional
police.
Inasmuch as there has been abso
lutely no clue upon whicfi the police
could work, however, Burgess Wigfleld
feels that little would be gained m
obtaining State officers.
"If our officers could only obtain
some clew," said the borough's chief
executive this morning, "I feel confi
dent they would be able to make a
capture. So clever is the fiend, how
ever, that he leaves no traces of his
work, other than the hatchet or ax
with which he does his work."

church this morning at 9 o'clock. The

What to Do When
Your Eyes
Trouble You
By Dr. E. Saner, Ph y sioian-Writer
When your eyes become weak, tired
or fatigued, when they sting or hurt or
the vision Is more or less Whirred, the
strain upon the optic nerve is greatly
increased, and this undue strain, if
allowed to continue, may result in
serious eye-trouble, which. If not prop
erly treated, may lead to granulated
lids, ulcers on the eyeball, cataract,
or even partial or total paralysis of the
optic nerve, resulting in partial or
complete loss of vision. The alarm
ingly large number of cases of partial
and total blindness which occur every
year from carelessness or Ignorance
shows the great necessity of the gen
eral public knowing more about the
eye.
When you notice that your eyes feel
weak, or the vision is more or less
blurred at the close of the day, you
should always use a few drops of
Luxotone.
This remarkable preparation almost
immediately rests, refreshes, tones up
and strengthens weak, tired eyes. It
will make red. Inflamed or congested
eyes white, clear and brilliant in Ave
minutes' time. Its Ingredients aro
widely used by eminent eye special
ists. I always prescribe It in all ordi
nary cases of eye trouble that come to
me. Of course Cataract, after It has
once formed, requires a surgical op
eration on the eye, but many eya
operations might he easily avoided by
the timely use of proper treatment.
NOTE: The above article was author
ized for publicity by the Public Health
Laboratories. It Is desired to Instruct
people how to care for their eyes so as
to prevent, in so far as Is possible, the
alarmingly large number of cases of
partial or total loss of vision which
needlessly occur each year as referred
to by Dr. Sauer.
The Luxotone recommended for use
by Dr. Sauer Is carried In stock by
Croll Keller and other leading druft
glsts in this city.
