He has a fractured skull and both of his legs arc broken. Train Going 50 Mtles an Hour The train was running about fifty miles an hour when It ploughed into thl- workmen. It takes a curve a short distance from where the accident oc curred. Foreman H. B. Mills, In charge of the repair gang, was sta tioned west of the workmen. He says he blew his warning whistle when he heard the express coming, but that the men were unable to escape the on coming flyer because of their being blocked between the trains on the tracks to the right and left. The men were knocked from the track like tenpins. Two of the bodies ■were hurled fifty feet. All were hor ribly mangled. Trainmen and passengers went to the scene of the accident promptly. The only man showing any life was Frank E. McCool. The accident was reported to Middle division headquarters and orders were received to send the express east and have the members of the crew make a statement regarding the accident on their arrival at Harrisburg. Engine Covered With Blood The train reached the Pennsylvania Kailroad station at 9.15 a. m. The front of the big passenger engine. No. 189, was covered with blood. A straw hat was found beneath the spark box. Portions of clothing, including one shoe, were taken from .the engine when it arrived on the pit at No. 1 roundhouse. Small bits of flesh were also sticking to the pilot and right hand cylinder boxes. The members of the crew were all from Harrisburg. As soon afe they made their usual reports at the sta tion they went to the office of Assistant Freight Trainmaster Jacob E. White man. of the Middle division, at DE office, where they cave their testimony to William E. Schraedley, the chief clerk. Engineer Trout said the fog was heavy this morning. He did not see any trackmen at work until he was too near to stop his train. The men were on the left side of the track. Two other trains were passing and he Is of the opinion the men not only failed to hear the warning from their fire man. but were caught in a trap be tween his train and another train go ing west.

This pro-1 vides that the tenure shall be two years while the controllers hold that the constitution provides ror a four vear term and that therefore the act is unconstitutional. The case at any rate would have to be settled by the courts and as most of the controllers have decided to adopt the "safety first" rule by filing petitions for re election Mr. Gough says he will do the same. The case may be tested out In the courts but whether this will be prior to election or not Mr. Gough couldn't say. On the county ticket this year a new office "registry assessors" will likely appear. The office means the registrar who sits in the county districts to take the party enrollments. Legally ac cording to 'Squire J. H. Strock, the election data expert in the county commissioners' office, this name is cor rect although It has not appeared so before on the tickets.

DEALER FINED SIOO FOR SELLING BAD MILK [Continued From First Page.] included five charges of selling milk I and cream below the standard. He was fined twenty dollars on each charge. The City Health Department only a short time ago brought the sainc charges against Hoak wno was prosecuted at that time ajid fined. Tests were taken recently of milk and cream that Hoak had been selling to Harrisburg consumers, tne samples showing that the product did not come up to the requirements of the ben Ith rules. Several other dealers were brought before Alderman Hoverter this morn ing for a hearing. They were allowed to go after being warned ana paying the costs as it was the first t?me that they had sold milk below standard. Other hearings were held late this afternoon and a number of dealers will he prose.cuted next week. HARD COAL PRICES MAY BE REDUCED [Continued from First Page.] The commission charges the roads with having granted concessions and offsets to their allied coal companies "which have in effect been rebates In violation of law. Commissioner Harlan, who dissent ed, contended that while modification of many coal rates was justified, the action was inconsistent in view of the recent rate increase for practically all other traffic. The decision is' the result of an in quiry instituted by the commission three years ago. Local Coal Dealers Not Sure About Reductions Local coal dealers are not positive that the reductions ordered by the In terstate Commerce Commission on freight shipments of- coal will affect the prices of hard coal sold here. The coal dealers are not sure about the rulings of the commission in re gard to shipments to interior points. If they apply to coal sent to points within the state and a cut in freight prices for these shipments, it is ex pected that the nrice of coal will he reduced eventually However. If the reduction only applies to shipments to other states and on tidewater orders, no reduction in retail prices is pre dicted. As no official orders have been re ceived. according to the retailers, they are not well enough informed, they said, to make any forecast of hard coal prices In the future. The condition arising before the coal operators for next April is caus ing much comment throughout the city. Both the bituminous and an thracite agreements with the United Mine Workers expire at that time, the first time such a state of affairs ever loomed up for the dealers. Just what will happen at the ex piration of the agreement is the cause of the apprehension. The local deal ers believe that one thing the mine workers will ask for will be the rec ognition of the union, and this, they believe, will not he done hv the op erators. • Scores Will Hear Senator Weeks Next Monday Acceptances for the Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce luncheon on Monday, August 16. at noon, at which United States Senator John W.

Bishops and Cardinals to Aid in Peace Movement London, Aug. 13.—A dispatch to the Mcrning Post from Rome says: "The Italian press gives prominence to a statement circulated by a news agency which is generally well in formed on vatlcan affairs to the effect that Cardinals Gibbons and O'Connell, ol Baltimore and Boston, respectively, have called a meeting of the neutral cardinals and bishops to be held in the course of a few weeks in Switzer land to discuss some concrete pro posal for arranging terms of peace between the helligerents. "It would appear that these cardi nals have invited the Catholic authori ties in neutral countries to such a con ference. which, though not officially inspired by the Vatican, has undoubt edly received unofficial approval. "For the moment the pope in his last message directed to the peoples and rules at war has said his last word on the question of peace and any fur ther initiative must come from outside. The fact that Cardinal Gibbons had a long conference with President Wilson on the question of acting as an Inter mediary is supposed to have given zest to the initiative of the cardinals. "It would seem that this Initiative also was not unknown to or uninspired from Gfernaan and Austrian sources." Bishop John W. Shanahan,,of the Harrisburg diocese of the Catholic Church, said that he had received no message from Cardinals Olbbons and O Connell of a meeting of the neutral cardinals, and bishops to be held In ! Switzerland. He said that he was not i positive whether he would attend the ; meeting If he does receive a nqtlce [of It.

' I Qrpfii -PAn OQJDOLeTOW) iCf)ief)sPin£'^ "HATCHET FIEND" HUNTS SOME WOMAN TO GET REVENGE THINK COPS Will a slender band wedding ring be the tiny clue which will lead to the capture of the mysterious "hatchet fiend," who has terrorized Steelton by brutally wounding seven pretty young women as they slept in as many mid night visits in various parts of the town? That ■ this may be true, is the be lief of Detective Irvin Durnbaugh. the man who as chief of police in 1908 ran down and captured single-handed in the stone quarries at Rheams, Lan caster county, Peter Celope, murderer of a fellow countryman in Steelton, after the foreigner had eluded many other officers. Detective Durnbaugh formed this opinion after discovering that each time the "hatchet fiend" pays his bloody visits to some home, he takes away with him every band ring which he can find by ransacking the house. Other jewelry of far more value he never touches. It was around just such a clue as this that detectives wove the skein of the law in the mysterious London murder case later made famous by A. Conan Doyle In "A Study in Scar let." In that case the only clue was a tiny circle of gold found beside the body of the murderer's victim, and, in that famous case jealousy and a de sire for revenge proved to be the mo tive for the crime. So In the recent crimes here attri buted to the "hatchet fiend," believes Detective Durnbaugh, there seems to be no other motive except some fan atical desire for revenge. But what injury, real or imagined, that the crim inal may be desiring to avenge, no one seems to know. Durnbaugh who has conducted a searching Investigation has formed a theory. In his own words It is this: "Back somewhere In Austria," the Nemesis of Peter Celope mused, "I be lieve there might have been two boy chums. Of course, there was 'the girl.' Perhaps one of the chums told the other that he was going to give the girl he married a curiously marked Steelton Snapshots Attend Funeral. Mr. and Mrs. William A.

"Then perhaps the favored chum obtained the girl's promise to marry him before he went away for his en forced military service. But during his absence, suppose the other chum 'put one over' and married the girl? "Then," continued the detective, "perhaps the military chum swore vengeance. Years may have passed and the wedded ones have come here. The Jilted one followed. "Do you see what I mean?" queried the detective. "Why I believe," continued he, "that that's just what happened. I believe our 'hatchet fiend' is seeking the woman he was to marry back in Austria years ago. Brooding over his tragedy, he has become half insane. He thinks he will recognize the ring his chum of other days showed him. When he 'pulls off' one of his daring midnight visits and, after looking over all the rings, finds he is not yet at the end of his search, I believe, he be comes enraged and smacks the near est woman over the head with an ax or hatchet. "I may be wrong," concluded the man who has solved many a myster ious crime, "but that's my theory, and I am going to run down the clue of one of the rings the assailant took from Mrs. Patterson the other night. It, unlike the other rings, bore two tiny initials on the Inside." Since the latest attack of the "hatchet fiend," Monday night upon Mrs. John Patterson, 401 Francis street, Steelton has been terrorized. Every night the police are flooded with telephone calls from excitable women who Imagine they have seen "the hatchet fiend" prowling about their homes. No foundation has yet been discovered for any of these reports. When the "hatchet fiend" comes he gives no warning—and leaves no clue. Reports that he was seen in Mohn street Wednesday night and in the West Side again last night were groundless, the police say. STEELTON PERSONALS Mr. and Mrs. H. R.

Most soaps and pre pared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins It. The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless), and is better than soap or anything else you can use. One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it ill. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive, oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and It leases the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at any pharmacy. It's very cheap and a few ounces will supply every member of the family for months. BrsuRATE 1 ) MAGNESIA A well-known medical writer says.
