JITNEYS CUT DEEP
INTO CITY'S TAXES
[Continued From First Page.]
stock would be on a six per cent, basis
with the beginning of 1915, but in
stead of getting six per cent, the stock
holders will receive about half that
amount. No dividend has ever been
paid on the common stock, which has
been steadily declining In price as a
result of the raid of the Jitneys and
the poor business of the summer
months.
I There is some speculation in munic
ipal circles as to what will happen
in the consideration of the annual
budget for the next year. Under the
agreement with the electric railway
system the city receives three per cent,
of the gross receipts and through this
source the municipal treasury was en
riched to the tune of almost $25,000
this year. In view of what has hap
pened during the present year the div
idend that will come to the city is
likely to be cut some thousands of
dollars. A fee of $5 for each car paid
by the jitney operators will not go
far In making up the loss in this quar
ter.
An official of the Harrisburg Rail
ways Company said to-day that it was
with regret, that the company found
it impossible to pursue Its former pol
icy in co-operating with boroughs and
townships through which its lines run
)n the improvement of highways and
streets. He admitted that the Jitney
development had made great Inroads
upon the receipts of the company, but
also explained that the unusual wea
ther conditions pf the summer had
been in part responsible, added to the
Industrial depression throughout the
year.
It was further Intimated to-day that
owing to the fact that the summer is
the profitable period of the company's
operation and that practically no divi
dend had been earned during this per
iod, the stockholders had rather a
poor prospect for the next distribu
tion period in April unless conditions
quickly change.

Businessmen Want
Reynders in Council
That the independent businessmen
of Steelton, as well as others, want
J. V. W. Reynders returned to coun
cil from the Third ward is becoming
more evident to-day.
"Mr. Reynders should receive the
largest majority ever given a council
man," declared D-. J. A. McCurdv, a
prominent druggist, to-day. "The steei
company is our largest taxpayer and
its head should be a member of the
borough council."
J. M. Heagy, a large taxpayer and
a former member of the Assembly,
also was lavish in his endorsement of
Mr. Reynders. "I don't know anvone
who has done more for Steelton than
he," declared Mr. Heagy. "It would
be a real calamity If he should not be
re-elected by a large majority."

STEEL ME LOOKING
TOl9lO PRODUCTION
Railroad Buying Increases; Fabri
cating Orders For August
Break Records
"With steel-making capacity so
largely taken up for 1915," says the
Iron Age, in its weekly review to-day,
"the trade is dally making calcula
tions for the early months of 1916.
There is more evidence that the hand
of the railroads is forced by the
Blze of the foreign Inquiry for steel
to be shipped after January 1. It
looks now as though the railroads
will all at once want a good many
cars and locomotives and that they
will have to take their turn after buy
ers who have been more forehanded.
"Locomotive orders and inquiries
have been larger in the past week
than in months. Some car require
ments are shaping up. In the case
of the New York Central both rails
and cars al-e up and rails for Fall and
winter delivery are expefeted to be
placed at Buffalo. The Seaboard Air
Line has ordered 7.000 tons of rails
and the Clover Leaf 3,000 tons. Gen
erally western roads have not begun
to negotiate for next year's rails.
"The report that fabricating orders
in August reached 85 per cent, of the
country's capacity was a surprise. For
the past si\ months the average has
been 73 per cent, while in the last big
year, 1912, it was probably not over
70 per cent. Chiefly interesting in
new work is 25.000 tons of elevated
road for Philadelphia. At Youngs
town 3,600 tons of new steel work con
struction has been awarded and alto
gether steel work additions are a
larger factor in the structural trade
than in months."
BURY DAVID TARASI
Funeral services for David Tarasl,
who died yesterday, will be held in
St. Ann's Catholic Church to-morrow
morning at 9 o'clock. Burial will be
made in Mt. Calvary Cemetery. The
youth was 15 years old and was the
son of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Tarasi,
34 7 South Fourth street.
VETERAN'S MEET TODAY

ARCTIC EXPLORER, LOST,

and the running cost of chartering
Polar Bear was high, I purchased her
and engaged her on terms similar to
Karluk. Engaged Hoff, engineer of
schooner Ruby to take place of Drue
of Alaska. Engaged five extra help
ers for southern parts who have ample
outfit for one year and Polar Bear for
two years. Plan continue northern
explorations to hundred and forty-flve
west and eighty-two farther north if
northerly course is secured."
Stefansson's determination to pro
ceed with his explorations despite the
loss of the Karluk, the chief vessel in
his original expedition, shows the cali
ber of the man and this news was re
ceived with gratification by officials
here. The Polar Bear, engaged by
him in place of the Karluk is a well
known and tried Arctic vessel and he
seems to have gathered supplies for
a further stay of two years in the
Arctic zone.
Baillie Islands, from which Stefans
son's message is dated, are east of the
mouth of the Mackenzie river toward
Banks Island and lie in latitude 70
north, longitjide 127 west.
The coasts of Baillie Islands which
are separated from Cape Bathurst by
a burst of narrow channel, are so flat
that the few boats that have reached
there have had to anchor nearly a mile
from the beach. Captain Pullen
camped on the larger island in 1850,
trying to get around Cape Bathurst
but he was unable to do so on account
of the ice which was piled upon the
islands and in the channel.
The receipt at Ottawa., Ont.. of a
message from the Vllhjalmar Stefans
son expedition, by way of Nome, Alas
ka, was the first direct tidings of the
explorer for a year and a half. No
news of the explorer and his two com
panions has been received since their
supporting party turned back April 7,
1914, from Camp Separation, on the
north coast of Alaska.
At that time he expected to reach
Bankeland on the drifting ice, but

river and unfavorable winds drove the
Ice to the westward. This drift, it was
hoped by Stefansson's friends, would
carry the explorer and his companions
toward the Siberian coast.
In this belief trading schooners and
whalers plying the Arctic this summer
were asked to keep a sharp lookout
for the explorer. Last month vessels
arrived at Nome, Alaska, after trad
ing along both the Alaskan and Siber
ian shores of the Arctic and reported
that no trace of Stefansson had been
found.
See Man On Hoe
There still remained the hope that
he had found refuge on Wrangell Is
land, where the survivors of the Stef
ansson exploration ship Karluk sought
safety, after the vessel was crushed
in the ice 18 months ago. This hope
was buoyed up by a circumstantial ac
count at Nome last April to the effect
that natives hunting seal last winter
near Icy Cape on the Arctic coast of
Alaska reported that they saw a white
man marooned on a ice floe which was
drifting in a southwesterly direction
toward Wrangell island. This news
was brought to Nome by a carrier from
Port Barrow. This information did
not give the date on which the na
tives saw the man, but it is presumed
to have been late In January or early
in February, this year.
Carried Out To Sea
When the natives first saw the man
he was on a large ice pack separated
from them and the shore by a wldo
stretch of water. The hunters imme
diately hurried out upon the ice to
attempt a rescue but before they
reached the lead separating the floe
from the shore ice, a strong off-shore
wind sprang up, carrying the ice far
to sea. The ice was moving steadily
southwest and unless the wind shtfted
must have touched Wrangell Island,
where food cacnes were left last sum
mer by the party, who rescued th«
survivors of the., Karluk.
With StefansSon, when he left Mar
tin Point late In March. 1914, were Ole
Anderson and Storker Storkerson, men
said to be so strong and resourceful as
Slefansson himself. They had rifles,
a sledge that could be used as a boat,
abundance of food and other supplies.
