The vacancy on the Naval Advisory Board caused by the resignation of Henry A. Wise Wood, of iNew York, will be filled by the American Society of Aeronautic Engineers which selected Mr. Wood, Secretary Daniels announced to-day. I Mr. Wood's letter of resignation had not been received. Mr, Daniels declined to comment on Mr. Wood's criticism of the administra tion's national defense program. He said, however, that the position Mr. Wood held was unofficial and that he was privileged to say wTiat he pleased. Secretary Daniels has requested the board to try to finil a method for reduc ing the erosion of liig guns, now limited to approximately 200 shots before the rifling is so worn that realignment is necessary. Germany is said to have de veloped a new metal for gun lining which reduced the wear somewhat. Runs Ashore Trying to Escape From Submarine By Associated Prtss Thortosa, Spain, Dec. 22. via Paris, Dec. 23, 11 A. M. The small French s'.enmahlp Doukkoiis, with a <argo of gar, ran ashore at the mouth of the El ro river to-day while attempting to escape from a submarine. • The captain of the Loukkous aserts the submarine attempted to torpedo the vessel. On being ordered to stop the captain, instead of obeying went ahead at full speed and succeeded in entering the mouth of the Ebro. A WEIGHING The welshing: machine used in the Bureau of Standards is so sensitive that it will register the decrease in the weight of a piece of metal when it is moved two inches farther from the earth. It is one item in a mar velous collection of apparatus for test ing almost every quality of every ma terial known to science and industry. The Bureau of Standards is perhaps the most mysterious of all govern ment bureaus to the layman who does not realize the fundamental impor tance of standardization. Of course the bureau fixes the weights and meas ures for the nation, but that is only a small part of its work. By standard izing electrical apparatus it confidently expects to reduce greatly the toll of death by electrical eccidents In this country. The coming of the day when | aeroplanes will be safe means of trans- I portation, within the reach of a mod erate income, depends largely upon Ihe standardization of the materials used in their construction. Automo biles have become cheap and safe In just that, way. In all this standard ization work in the United States the Bureau of Standards is a sort of court of last resort. It is the technical ex pert of American industry. Everything used by the United States j government is tested in the Bureau of ! Standards. For example, every yard of twine goes through a self-acting twine tester, which unwinds and balls and measures the twine while samples of it are being tested for strength. The permanence of our public rec ords is of course entirely dependent upon the quality of the ink and paper used. Most of our literature is phys ically ephemeral. If the remains of New York are dug up in the year 5289, not a trace of the immense output of our presses will be found. Govern ment records, on the other hand, must be enduring to the last degree. For merly the paper for these all-impor tant documents wfcs merely crumpled, torn and chewed to determine its quality. Now its bursting strength, weight, thickness, quality of fiber, per centage of mineral and all other quali ties are accurately determined. If you would like to know all the Interesting things about the govern ment you should read the two great patriotic books, ' The American Gov ernment" and "The Panama Canal," both by Frederij J. Haskin. See the details of the n elegraph's offer to its readers in the coupon printed else where in this Issue. $263,447,928 DueU. S. Investors in January New York. Deo. 23.

Steamer Detained and Mail Taken by British By Associated Press * New York, Dec. 23.—The steamer Rotterdam, arriving at New York to day from Rotterdam and Falmouth, re ported that while detained at Falmouth for two days the British authorities took 29 sacks of mall ashore, 18 sacks from Berlin. 11 from Constantinople and ten from Sofia. Captain Baron protested that the seizure was Illegal and was obliged to accept a receipt for the mall. He was assured however, that after the mail had been censored It would be went by another steamer. Quality is the chief aim in the Decker & Sons. Spangier, 2112 Sixth St.—Advertisement. rnn MiDDLerown EXPORT EMBARGO AIDS CONSUMERS High Prices Discourage New Construction; Big Advance in Cost of Wire Products The Iron Age in its weekly review of the steel trades to-day says: "The embargo laid by all railroads on shipments of iron and steel products to New York for export, while it throws some serious problems on the mills, is a blessing to domestic con sumers. While exports of steel have been declining since August, largely because of transportation difficulties, they have amounted to enough to bring measureable relief if diverted into home channels. "While biilets, blooms, bars and wire products have figured prominently in exports, the easing up at home due to the embargo will extend to other forms of finished material, as in the release of steel for plate departments, for example, the soaring of plate, mill prices finding a parallel in other line. Yet the situation in respect to a num ber of finished products Is so tense that too much not be expected from the holding up of exports. "There is moro pressure from con sumers to get places on the steel com panies' order books for deliveries after July 1, 1916, and the amount of such business taken is increasing, though some mills still insist they are not ready to sell for the second half. "The effect of high prices in dis couraging new construction and other wise limiting consumption is recog nized throughout the trade, but only in a theoretical way as long as pro ducers feel that curtailment from some cause is desirable. "Wire products were advanced $2 a ton December 20, bringing nails to $2.10, Pittsburgh, and plain wire to Sl.9s—the highest prices In many years. In the boom of 1906-7 the highest contract price for wire nails was $2.05. That jobbers have light stocks is Indicated by the fact that, few are now getting nail shipments at less than $1.90, which was the market so lately as November 15. "Rail orders are coming forward in moderate volume. The Great North ern's recent contract was for 25,000 tons, distributed to five mills. The Clover Leaf has bought 6.000 tons and the Chicago & Eastern Illinois 10,000 tons, while the Southern Railway is in the market for an additional 18,000 tons. The recent rail contract for France placed with an Eastern mill amounted to 85,000 tons. or 20,000 tons more than at first reported." Keiser Responsible For Lehn's Death Is Verdict Because he was driving an automo bile without the permission of the owners, tlie coroner's jury after an in quest last night, decided that John A. Keiser was responsible for the death of Harry Lelin, who was run down and fatally Injured by Keiser on the night of December 15 at Front and Dupont streets. The only eye witness who testified last night was John Kel ley, North street. Carl Fegley, also in the car with Keiser, is suffering from pneumonia, which it is believed he contracted after his plunge into the canal. District Attorney Stroup, it is under stood, will bring charges against Keis er of involuntary manslaughter, in addition to the charge of running an automobile without the permission of the owner. CHARGES WITHDRAWN The charges against the five mem bers of the Union Republican Club and the steward of the club were with drawn yesterday. The men were to be given a hearing before Squire Gard ner. charged with selling liquo.- with out a license, but the prosecutor dropped the case. RMiDDLETOWN' - - MRS.

PACKAGE LAW AID TO BUYERS Chief Sweeney in Annual Re port Says Conditions Are Improving State support in the campaign to require people to stop charging con sumers for the package In which goods are sold and to secure the just weight of each subdivision of a bushel is promised to sealers of welgi.ts and measures throughout the State by Jain»s Sweeney, State chief of stand ards, in his annual report to Secretary of Internal Affairs Henry Houck. The report picks out a number of abuses which have grown up and declares that the act requiring marking of quantities on packages will be strictly enforced. Chief Sweeney declares that the thorough inspection of weights and measures that has been carried on by the county and city sealers has had an excellent effect and some Idea of the extent of this work is furnished by the statement that in the year ending No vember 30 no less than 570,531 Inspec tions were made, resuting in 51,330 condemnations and 18,533 adjust-1 nients. Containers such as crates, milk cans, bottles and the like Inspected In the State numbered 257,389, 18,039 be ing condemned. Inspections made since the State law became effective num bered over 1,400,000 weights and measures and 4 79,000 containers. Last official year there were 207 prose cutions. In addition to the inspections of weights and' measures of merchants those of farmers attending markets and engaged in the sale of produce were inspected and "a decided im provement" noted. Chief Sweeney also says the State is getting results In Its work of checking up packages to see that consumers get what they are paying for. "Heretofore the consumer bought package goods without any particular thought as to the quantity of the contents and in that way often paid the same rate for STEEL EMPLOYES MAY GET RAISE No Word Received by Steelton Officials; Ten Per Cent. Increase at Lebanon Officials at the Steelton plants of the Pennsylvania Steel Company said to lay that they had received no notice from headquarters of any raise in the employes' wages at Steelton similar to the one announced at the Lebanon mills. Notices posted at Lebanon an nounced a 10 per cent, increase in wages there after January 1. Accord ing to officials In Steelton, no word has been received. * That the raises will be given to Steelton employes is a question. Offi ials are not sure, and claim that they have no reason to expect it. The raise, if given, will affect more than 6,000 employes of the company at this place.

FIND MURDERED MAN BESIDE BEER KEG [Continued From First Page.] a. bad character and rful served tima on several occasions. Found in Pool of Blood Residents in the district where his body was found are reticent and re fuse to talk. Several said they knew nothing about the affair. Employes of the Pennsylvania Steel Company when they arrived at the mills told the Steel Company oflloers, | who in turn, notified the borough po | lice that Baltic had been murdered. The man was unidentified until' I Constable Gibb went to the AVilt 'morgue and recognized the man be ; cause of his police record. The body ! was found lying beside a beer keg which was covered with blood. The post mortem examination was con ducted this morning by Drs. J. Har vey Miller and R. L. Perkins. The authorities believe that after being knocked down, he was kicked and beaten. Murdered Man a Murderer? The police are not positive whether Bakic was killed In a drunken brawl or whether he was killed by other foreigners in revenge. At the steel company plant to-day stories were common that Bakic had murdered several men. stabbed others and was continually lighting. It was said that he came to the borough yesterday from Duncannon. A little more than a year ago, according to the police, Bakic was sentenced to serve time for a charge of assajuit and battery, and an attempt to ,stab another for eigner. Foreigners said that they believed Bakic was killed • because he killed two men. According to stories afloat. Bakic killed one man in 1903 and the other one several years ago. He had not been in Steelton for more than a year. It was said to-day. The physicians after a postmortem examination said that Baltic's deathl was caused by a compound fracture of the frontal bone of his head. The doctors claim that P.aklc was struck on the face and then either knocked over or thrown against the keg. COMMERCIAL AID IN RAISING TROUT State Commissioner Takes Up; Very Important Propaga tion Plans The commercial trout growers of Pennsylvania have given Commissioner . of Fisheries N. R. Buller assurance of ■ their co-operation in his efforts to im- j prove fish propagation work in the i State and plans are now being made to aid. The Department of Fisheries considers commercial trout raising of j such importance that it believes the ! business in which these men are en- I gaged should receive all the supportj possible and the business fostered by j the State. A uniform certificate of invoice has been taken up with the trout men and the department will recommend to them a certificate which will be uni form and In accordance with the law. At the present time each one has a different certificate, and while they are all legal, the department thinks that If a uniform certificate would be used it would be much better and then each man would know what the other one Is doing. The meeting held here a few clays ago brought the men into closer con tact with each other and will result ir. closer co-operatton, not only with the men themselves, but with the de partment. Uniform legislation was gone over and the department's supply of trout eggs contracted for by the commissioner. All the trout eggs which the department uses are bought from the commercial trout growers (ft Pennsylvania. The department cannot afford to hold the trout in order to take the spawn, as the room Is needed for the raising of the young (lsli for distribution in the public streams, and it is believed at the department that, the trout, men of Pennsylvania should be patronized in preference to anyone else. the carton or package that he paid for the contents." says the report.
