SHAKE-UP IN U. B.
CIRCLES COMING 1
[Continued From First Page.]
about changing the Rev. E. A. G.
Bossier, at State Street.
All Towns May Be Affected
Should a break appear In the clouds
hanging over the assignments, all
kinds of changes are predicted. Nearly
every town in the conference will be
affected, it Is believed. It was Inti
mated that should a big change take,
place, Philadelphia would be In
cluded. The possibility in this case
expressed by delegates was that the
Rev. Dr. S. C. Enck, of the Second
Church In Philadelphia will be trans
ferred to the Third church which has
just been organized.
It is likely that should this change
be made, Lebanon Valley towns will be
included In the shake-up. A new pas
tor of high caliber in church work,
must be selected for the Logan Mis
sion in North Philadelphia is the
opinion of all the ministers.
Several of the delegates at the con
ference in speaking of the start of the
agitation for a big shake-up, say that
at the last conference last year in
Philadelphia, the move was made for
the change. Several years ago Bishop
Weekly, in announcing the appoint
ments, sprung many surprises, and
some more big ones are predicted for
l to-morrow. Some of the pastors even
Intimated that they were prepared
for the change, having packed some
of their furniture.
In nearby towns with one or two
exceptions, no changes will he made
Is the belief in conference circles. At
Steelton, the Rev. A. K. Wler, the
Rev. Dr. I. H. Albright, at Middle
town; the Rev. H. F. Rhoad, of High
spire; the Rev. H. M. Miller, of Pen
brook; the Rev. A. S. Lehman, of
Hummelstown; and the Rev. C. A.
Lynch, of Llnglestown, are among the
ones whom, it is said unofficially, will
be returned.
Two pastors in Dauphin county

CITY PLANNERS
OPPOSE BRIDGE
[ MS«,i
street would seriously interfere with
and perhaps end for all time the other
two projects."
Tho Statement of Reasons
The Planning Commission supported
the resolutions with the following
statement:
'The members of the Harrisburg
City Planning Commission, aware of
tho fact that their actibn may be
taken amiss by some sincere persons,
but realizing the grave importance of
the subject, request the electors of the
city of Harrisburg to withhold their
approval of the proposed increase of
the indebtedness of the cttv of Harris
burg by $300,000 for the erection of
a bridge over the Paxton creek valley
a" Walnut street for the following rea
sons:
"1. The commission favors the con
struction of a full-width subwav at
State street by the city in connection
with the Commonwealth and the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company. This
subway, in connection with a curved
boulevard to Walnut street, would serve
the same people Just # as safely and
conveniently as a bridge at Walnut
street. Besides, such a subway would
be a part of the Capitol Park im
provement. and greatly enhance its
beauty.
"2. The commission favors a full
width subway at Market street as soon
as possible. The present suhway is
obviously inadequate. Such a subway
would render less necessary a bridge
s.t Walnut street.
"3. The commission contemplates
that the construction of the subway at
Stute street shall be by Joint action
and expense of the city, the Common
wealth and tbe Pennsylvania Railroad
Company. It would he difficult to con
vince the Commonwealth arid railroad
company of the necessity of a subway
at State street with a bridge onlv a
square away.
"4. The commission, after ihuch
thought and study, is flrmlv of the
opinion that the subway at Stato street
and the reconstructed subway at Mar-
Vet street are necessary, and after
their completion a bridge at Walnut
street would be unnecessary. The
commission Is further of opinion that
the hull Ilng of a bridge at Walnut
street would greatly Injure the chance
to complete the other two Improve
ments."
HENRY A. KELKER
DIES IN 90TH YEAR
[Continued From Urst Page]
Only a few years ago he retired from
boards of which he had been a mem
ber for decades, but kept In close
touch with the activities of the com
munity,
Mr. Kelker was born December 16,
1825. at 9 South Front street, the resi
dence of his father, which remained
In the family for over a hundred
years, having been willed to the Dau
phin County Historical Society several
>ears ago by William A. Kelker. He
was a grandson of Anthony Kelker,
first sheriff of Dauphin county and
prior to the Revolution an officer un
der the provincial government. His
father, Frederick Kelker, was one of
the prominent residents of Harrtsburg
for years and was succeeded in his
hardware business by his sons.
Mr. Kelker was educated at the
llarrisburg Academy and at Marshall
College, at Mercersburg, before It was
merged with the present Franklin and
Marshall College. While attending
college he became a member of the
Reformed Church, of which his family
had been communicants for gen
erations, and on his return from col
lege in 1845 united with Salem Church.
He was Its oldest member and had
for many years been a trustee as well
as a liberal contributor to the work of
the denomination and its missions.
Favored Home Enterprises
The firm of Kelker Bros., of which
he became a member, continued in
business from 1846 until 1878 and was
known throughout the State. Mr. Kel
ker succeeded his brother on the
board of directors of the Harrisburg
National Bank, In which the family
had been Interested from Its organ
ization. and served for almost half a
century. He was a great believer in
home investments and was early iden
tified with the Harrisburg Gas Com
pany, the Harrisburg Steam Heat
Company, the market companies and
public utility companies, as well, as
one of the first directors of the Penn
sylvania Telephone Company, the Har
risburg part, of the Bell system. He
was also among the supporters of a
number of Industries of the city, sev
eral of which he helped to build up,
and retained his Interest until his
death.
Mr. Kelker's connection with the
street railway system of the city began
In 1878, when, with his brother, R. F.
Kelker, the late Dr. George W. Reily,
Alexander Roberts and others, he took
hold of the original city company
and reorganized It. This became the
Harrisburg City" Passenger Railway
Company and he was elected ' presi
dent. In a short time it was put on
a paj-ing basis and he confined its
active head until the lines were leased.
This company was the foundation of
the present big Harrisburg Railways
system. Mr. Kelker was president of
the City Passenger company at the
time of his death. He was identified
with the organization of the Harris
burg Traction Company and the Cen
tral Pennsylvania Traction Company
and with various , subsidiary lines,
serving as director.
Helped Secure Steel Works
When the men behind the Pennsyl
vania Steel Works were undecided
whether to locate the proposed plant
at Danville or soutli of Harrisburg at
the hamlet of Baldwin, Mr. Kelker,
who was owner of considerable of the
land which Is now embraced In Steel
ton. united with Senator J. D. Cam
eron and other Dauphin county citi
zens and aided in securing the great
industrial plant, for this district. Mr.
Kelker erected a number of business
buildings in Steelton and laid out a
portion of the town. He built the first
bank and the first post office and a
number of business houses on Front
street, in the then infant borough.
Mr. Kelker served as a member of
Common Council from the Third ward
in the eighties, becoming a candidate
at the solicitation of his neighbors and
being elected practically without op
position. He declined to run again
and always refused to hold any other
office. He was a Republican in poli
tics and was a personal friend of Gov
ernor Curtin. General Simon Cameron
and other noted men who were active
ir. the formation of the party.
For years Mr. Kelker was keenly
interested in the musical development
of the city and generously aided in
bringing the noted artists here and
in the advancement of music in many
ways. He was a member of early
choral societies and was president of
the Mozart/Society, which preceded
the Harrisburg Choral Society. He
seldom failed to attend the concerts
and recitals and until a few years ago
not only maintained membership in
the Choral Society, but enjoyed its
rendition of oratorios in company with
his brother-in-law, Alexander Rob
erts. who died a few months ago at the
age of 92.
In his long span of years Mr. Kelker
had seen Harrisburg grow from a
town of less than 4,000 people to the
city of to-day. He was a lad of eleven
when the first railroad train came into
Harrisburg and he knew well the lead
ers of the State of long before the
Civil War. One of the factors in the
very inception of enterprises which
pre to-day important in the life of
Harrisburg, he maintained faith in his
native city and Its future, Interested in
its progress and possessing the respect
of its clllzens of the years gone by and
of the present.
Mr. Kelker married Ellen Roberts,
daughter of Colonel John Roberts, for
years one of the leaders of the Dau
phin county bar and a soldier in the
War of 1812. He is survived by five
children. Henry A. Kelker, Jr.," Miss
Mary A. Kelker. Miss Anne Roberts
Kelker. Mrs. A. Boyd Hamilton nnd
Mrs. John Jordan Moffltt. He aiso
leaves ='x grandchildren.
Mr. Kelker's funeral will take place
from his residence on Monday after
noon at 3 o'clock. The services will
be tonducted by the Rev. Dr. E. N.
Kremer, of Reformed Salem church,
assisted by the Rev. Dr. G. E. Hawes
of Market Square Presbyterian
church.
Constructive Factors
Multiplying in Trade
New York, Oct. 2. —Dun's Review
says to-day:
"Success of the foreign loan nego
tiations foreshadows enterprise and
emphasizes the position occupied hy
this pountry in the field of internation
al finance. With constructive factors
multiplying, prospects steadily bright
en and actual gains in business are now
more in keeping with the growth of
optimistic sentiment. Almost without
exception, reports from the leading
centers tell of accumulating evidences
of progress.
"Development of Fall business Is ex
ceeding expectations in some quarters
and expanding requirements are a fea
ture in the dry goods markets, which
are buoyant in response to the rapid
rise in raw cotton. Though the dye
stuffs shortage continues a handicap,
the textile situation generally shows
distinct improvement. Pressure upon
the steel mills is so great that produc
ers are chiefly concerned with tho
problem of making deliveries, condi
tions in this respect being further com
plicated by the resent rush of railroad
equipment orders. The Industrial
boom is not alone confined to the East;
It has spread to the West and South,
and in the latter section manufactur
ing plants that have been idle fo»-
years are resuming. Weekly hank
clearings, $3,673,829,572."
EVANGELISTIC SERVICES
Evangelistic services will be held
every night next week by Evangelist
George B. Wlnemlller in the Gospel
Hall, 1114 Capital street.
HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
HARVEST HANDS
TO BE FURNISHED
State Employment Bureau
Will Take Care to Supply
Agricultural Laborers
Plans made for the new State Bu
reau of Employment which was es
tablished this week by Commissioner
John Price Jackson of the Department
of Labor and Industry contemplate an
effort to help farmers fret hands for
planting and harvesting as well as
market gardening and other work on
the farm. The bureau, which was
created by the last general assembly,
gives Pennsylvania a free system of
employment, modelled in part on some
of those which have been successful
In the German Empire and in other
parts of Europe with some features
taken from systems in American
States and cities. The plan will
be to so distribute information that a
shortage of hands in one industry in
a western section of the State may be
met, provided there Is Idleness In some
seasonable industry in another sec
tion.
The Bureau has already received
numerous applications from contrac
tors and other large employers for la
bor and inquiries have been made by
steel, mining and other companies,
while letters have also been written
by laborers. It is believed that the
aid which can be afforded to farmers,
which will be free of cost, will play an
important part in increasing agricul
tural production. Dr. Jackson said
to-day in discussing the plan to help
farmers get "hands":
The labor market is of almost
as great importance to the farmer
as th/e market for his products.
As farmer unable to obtain labor
at the proper seasons of the year
may suffer losses of portions of
his crops. As the machinery of
the State employment bureau Is
developed during the coming
months a special effort will be
made to collect and compile the
names of persons adaptable and
available for work on Pennsylva
nia farms. All that information
will be at the disposal of every
farmer in the State. The officials
In charge of the bureau will, with
out charge, do all In their power
to aid the farmer In solving his
labor problem-
Jacob Lightner, the director of the
bureau, has been at work investigating
the general conditions in rural dis
tricts and when the bureaus are estab
lished calls; by telephone or by mail
will be handled and the employers put
into touch with unemployed and men
or women be given chances to reach
persons who are hunting aid. "The
State will try primarily to relieve the
unemployment situation and its ser
vices will be as free to farmers as to
any one else," said Mr. Lightner.
Cadillac Runs 100 Miles
in 82 Minutes, 46 Seconds
Shattering speed records for 100
miles and for the hour, the new eight
cylinder Cadillac established Itself as
tlie fastest touring car made in
America, If not in the world.
The distance covered during the first
sixty minutes was 72.41 miles and 100
miles were traveled in eight?two min
utes, forty-six seconds. This latter Is
an average of 72.49 miles per hour, the
car therefore showing an Increase In
speed as the miles increased.
This not only eclipsed all other
American touring car records, but It
broke the records established only
about two hours previously by another
Cadillac of the same type.
The second car beat the first by 1.35
miles for the hour and the time vari
ation was only one minute, thirty and
four-fifth seconds for 100 miles, show
ing wonderful uniformity In the run
ning of the two cars.
The aggregate time of the two cars
for 200 miles was 167 minutes, two
and four-fifths seconds.
The tests were conducted primarily
for the purpose of trying out certain
principles In designing and engineer
ing, the speed accomplishments being
merely Incidental thereto.
The cars used were the s-sven-pas
senger type, fully equipped Including
top, windshield, extra wheel and tire.
The first car was one which had
previously been used for some experi
mental work, while the second was
braml new. taken direct from the
finishing room at the Detroit factory
and driven over the road to Chicago.
Its speedometer showed only ;i45
miles when the trials were started on
the new speedway in the city named.
A magnificent feature of the per
formance was tin; fact that the cars
were not piloted by professionals but
by members of the experimental and
engineering departments of the fac
tory. The driver o? the car which es
tablished the better record had not
driven ten miles on a track prior to
this event.
Commenting upon the trials, Gen
eral Manager Leland said: "The feat
means little to the average motorist
from a speed standpoint, for the rea
son that not one person In a thousand
ever cares to ride so fast. It is most
significant, however, because of its
indication of the stainind of the cars.
"Notwithstanding the terrific strains
Imposed by motor speeds of from
2,600 to 3,000 revolutions per minute
and the maintenance of these speeds
over so long a period, both cars per
formed perfectly, and It is immensely
gratifying to observe the remarkable
uniformity in the running of the two
cars.
The achievements are particularly
significant because they were accom
plished by the same kind of oars that
can be obtained by the everyday pur
chaser and not by cars designed
primarily for speed purposes, wherein
al' otrnpr things are made subservient
to fast driving."

fuge when t*ie full fury of the storm

While no ofh. 'al estimate has been
obtainable of th> storm damage in
this State and along the Mississippi
coast, persons familiar with the terri
tory believe that It will approximate
$12,000,000. This estimate is consid
ered conservative.
Relief work Is progressing rapidlj-,
due in great part to the quick recov
