FREIGHT WRECK
TIES UP TRAFFIC
Cars Pile Up on New York
Division Early Today; Train
Enroute to Harrisburg
Early morning trains, westbound on
'lie Pennsylvania railroad, were two
hours late to-day reaching Harrisburg.
The delay was due to a serious freight
wreck on the New York division. An
eastbound train was wrecked, side
swiping a freight train bound for Har
risburg. The cars were loaded with
general merchandise, but as far as is
known, none of the freight was con
signed to Harrisburg Arms.
An Associated Press dispatch from
Philadelphia says:
"Twenty-two loaded boxcars and a
locomotive were piled up Jn a wreck
at Andulasia, Pa., on the New York
division of the Pennsylvania railroad
11 bout 16 miles from this city at 1.30
o'clock this morning, when two freight
trains sideswiped. A fireman was In
jured slightly. Rails for a distance of
200 feet were torn from the roadbed
and traffic between New York and this
< ity blocked until 9 o'clock when two
through tracks were cleared.
Two Wrecks In Ten Days
The wreck occurred near the place
where on November 29 two freight
trains also crashed. In this accident
34 cars and an engine were wrecked
and a fireman injured. Trafllc was
. then blocked as completely as this
morning. A broken wheel on a
freight bound from Philadelphia for
.Jersey City was the cause of to-day's
wreck.
"We have heard reports that the
wreck was not due to an accident,
but our Investigation reveals it was
an accident and that It is only a coin
cidence that the wrecks occurred so
'•losely together and under such simi
lar circumstances," said M. F. Tora
linson, of Jersey City, freight traffic
manager of the division.
How Wreck Occurred
The eastbound freight was composed
of 4 4 cars. According to Mr. Tomlin
son the flange on a wheel on one of
the cars broke and after several cars
were derailed arid pounded over ties
for about 100 feet flew off the track
rashing into cars of a westbound
freight bound for Harrisburg, , sitting
just below the locomotive.
The impact jolted the westbound
locomotive from the track, upsetting
it. The wreckage was scattered over
all tracks of the line. The engineer
and fireman managed to crawl from
beneath the overturned locomotive.
Both were slightly Injured.

*lO fine or serve ten days In Jail. A
flfth Vas discharged. All were ordered

men, demand an incerase in wages.

PENROSE FAVORS
NATIONAL GUARD
Says That National Govern
ment Should Pay More At
tention to Them
i
Senator Boles Penrose, who has very
clearly set forth his position on na
tional defense, declared in Washing
ton that as a result of his 10,000 mile
trip about the country he was con
vinced that the National Guardsmen
deserve more consideration in the na
tional scheme and that he will work
to tha end.
j The Senator's ideas are as follows:
| "My own opinion is that we should
| provide a standing army of at least
250,000 men and as many more as the
military experts of the government be
lieve to bo necessary. In addition, we
should strengthen the National Guard
|by enacting the Militia Pay bill and
jby other means make service In the
j militia attractive. But Xam not sure
|that the proposed continental army
| will be estaMished, for I find much
i opposition to it from National Guard
j sources. Many guardsmen have writ
| ten to me protesting against this fea-
I turc of the preparedness program
and It seems to me tnat the proposi
tion as outlined and approved by the
.administration is unfair to the Na
| tionaV Guard, many members of which
j have devoted years of service to it.
Precedence lor Guardsmen
"For instance, why should the 12,-
000 officers and men who compose the
i National Guard of Pennsylvania be
obliged to take a back seat for this
> continental army in the event of the
forces of this country being called to
the colors? Our guard is efficient and
has been maintained for years as an
effective force always at the disposal
of the Federal Government. If the
occasion should arise where the armed
forces of this country are called into
service, then the National Guard
should come next to the standing
army and should have the precedence
and prestige to which they naturally
are entitled.
"I have just finished a circuit of
10.000 miles of travel throughout this
country with the Liberty Bell and it is
my opinion that the people are
strongly in favor of preparedness—a
program of building tip the armed
strength of the nation. There can
be no partisanship in this question
and no party will be Abie to gain a
political advantage from it. It is a
patriotic question.
"I have given some study to the
question and my own opinion is that
the best way for us to proceed would
be, after increasing our standing army
to the requisite size, to provide for
short term enlistments, say one year,
and then provide for a reserve. Many
young men would be glad to serve In
the army for a year just to be able to
see the world and get the physical
benefits from such service. Then we
could keep them on the reserve list
by some concessions, such as a small
amount of pay, preference in civil
service appointments, exemption from
jury duty and by similar means. I
believe in this way we could soon
have an available force of more than
half a million men.
Money Must he Provided
"As to how the expense of this In
crease In the army and navy is to be
met, I cannot say. That is for the
Democrats to determine. Perhaps they
will provide for a bond issue. Some
provision must be made; that is cer
tain. The treasury is bankrupt, no
matter how the administration offi
cials may attempt to conceal the fact.
There is talk of a tax on gasoline, but
If that is enacted it will bring down
upon the Democratic Party the dis
approval of the farmers of the West
who own automobiles or run their
threshing machines by gas engines.
The piper must be paid and it. Is for
the Democrats in power to determine
by what method.
"It is gratifying to note that in the
movement for preparedness all ele
ments of the Republican Party are
united. Including the Progressives,
who aro coming back. In fact, the
Progressive leaders were among the
first to declare for prompt action in
this direction.
"I do not look for any general tariff
legislation at this session, unless It Is
precipitated upon Congress by the
question of providing the means for
carrying out the national defense pro
gram. In such event the whole ques
tion is likely to be opened Hp. Other
wise there con be po general revision
of the tariff until the Republican
Party is returned to power. But some
provision must be made to meet the
conditions which will arise at the end
of the European war. Then the in
dustries of Europe will resume pro
duction and their output of cheap
labor will be dumped upon the Amer
ican market, unless the protective
bars are put up to keep them out.
There is a serious problem that con
fronts us."
State Treasurer Is
in Charge of Fund
Two opinions relative to insurance
in the State workmen's compensation
system were rendered to State Treas
urer Young, chairman of the State
Insurance fund board, by Deputy At
torney Geenral Hargest. to-day, one of
which holds that State hospitals and
similar State institutions receiving
separate appropriations must insure
their employes out of their own funds
and can not have the cost of such lia
bility insurance taken, out of the ap
propriation of ?ir>,ooo made for State
employes under the compensation act.
The other opinion holds that the State
Treasurer is custodian of the compen
sation insurance funds and receipts
issued by him for payment made for
the use of the fund do not have to be
countersigned by the Auditor General;
that bonds shall be made to him as
Slate Treasurer and not to the Com
monwealth, and that the Treasurer
may designate the depositories for the
fund from the list of banks approved
for deposit of State moneys.

PROGRAM TALK
BY PROF. PHILIPS
Speaks of Special Numbers;
The Madrigal Club Will Sing
at Hospital Benefit
Prof. John W. Philips makes the
following comments on 'he program
which the Madrigal Club will sing next
Tuesday evening, at Fahnestock Hall,
for the benefit of the Harrisburg Hos
pital.
'On the Sea." by Buck, has been a
favorite to audiences for many years,
and is as popular to-day as the day
it was written.
"Winter Song," by Bullard. is one
of the most rousing of this composer's
writings.
"The Long Day Closes," by Sulli
van, is conceded to be his best male
chorus. This beautiful number has
been so popular and so liked that
it has been arranged not only for
mixed voices in a secular mood but
for church purposes as well.
"O, Lovely Night," by Offenbach,
from the Tales of Hoffman, is always
charming, but is especially so when
sung by men.
The next group contains three beau-'
tiful miniatures including numbers by
Jungst, Gibson and Metcalf.
The concluding group by the Mad
rigal Club includes "VVanderer's Night
Song," a real gem, and the rousing and
effective "Bacchanalian Chorus," bv
Elliott, a fitting close to a splendidly
selected program.
"Mr. Sutton will offer a group of
songs by the famous Hungarian com
poser, Korhay. Korbay's songs are
always interesting and have a peculiar
musical charm all their own.
"Miss Conkllng, pianiste, will in
clude a group of three numbers of
decided merit, and by such great eom
-1 posers as Raff, MacDowell and Grieg. |
"Miss Lemer, violinist, will play Le
gende by Bohm and the Hungarian
Dance, by Haesche. These numbers
are both of musical merit and alwayA
offer food for musical enjoyment.
"1 would like to say also," said Prof.
Philips, "that the program has a two
fold value. In the first place when a
group of young men get together to
study and to sing good music for the
pure love of it, the value of the pro
gram Is enhanced fifty per cent. In
the second place when those young
young men Industriously rehearsing
work up an attractive program, giving
their time and talent to it,for the bene
fit of the Harrisburg Hospital, the
public should see to it that every seat
Is taken for the forthcoming concert."
SUES EXECUTOR
Suit In assumpsit was filed to-day
against George E. Shaffer, executor
for Clinton E. Sheaffer, and the Mary
land Fidelity and Deposit Trust Com
pany, the executor's surety. The action
was brought by the Allison Hill Trust
Company, which contends that Sheaffer
dldn t fulfill his obligations as execu
tor. The Maryland company had bond
ed Sheaffer for $12,000.
! Thousands May Be Thrown
I Out of Work if Embargo
|! Dyes Is Not Lifted Soon
By Associated Press
Washington, D. C., Dec. 10.—Silk
manufacturers from Paterson, N. J.,
told Counselor Polk, of the State De
partment ,to-day that unless Great
Britain modifies her embargo of De
cember 3 on the shipment of logwood
from her West Indian possessions the
. big silk mills at Paterson probably
would have to suspend operations
within three months for lack of dye
stuffs. Forty thousand workmen and
many thousands in other parts of the
country would be affected, they said.
The manufacturers, headed by Sen
ator Hughes and ex-Attorney General
Greggs, urged that representations be
made to England to remove the em
bargo which prohibits shipments ex
cept to British ports. Mr. Polk replied
that such representations had already
been made through the British ambas
sador and that prospects of arranging
for American manufacturers to supply
their needs seemed good.
Canadian manufacturers also are af
fected by the embargo, as they obtain
virtually all their logwood dyes from
American conversion plants. This, the
Paterson manufacturers believe, will
make the Canadians their allies in the
protest against shutting off the supply
to America.

its soil and then made preparations
for delivering a treacherous attack if
circumstances should seem to make
that profitable."
The opinion Is expressed by the
Globe that Dr. von Bethmann-Holl
weg's speech should be pleasant read
ing for the allies.
