CHARTER WORK IS
GROWING FAST
Immense Amount of Business
Done by the State Depart
ment During Year 1915
The State of
jf . \\ ft'VyO sued 1846 charters
f:\\W ri/ during 1915, almost
*7 as many as during
I notable for the
I \ number of electric
1 I ftalWreSWw companies granted
tgjgjll letters patent, es
gijagiS&swwnafc pecially just before
Pg- —the public service
law .became oper
atic. The bulk of the charters issued
laiyear were for manufacturing with
a Smber of mercantile and co-oper
atfc concerns. At the same time the
deirtment of the Secretary of the
Comonwealtli, which issues the
clilers, received J496.033.12, all of
wjlh was turned into the State Treas
ury This is five times the amount
ap'opriated to operate the depart
ing.
le charter business, which took
a imp in the last four months of
19:, brought in a large share of the
reiiue. The capital stock oil which
thidepartment received bonus was
$1,102,532.43, the revenue received
theon aggregating $409,092.76.
Tire were 1,237 charters issued un
tie the general corporation act, five
ra'oads, ten insurance companies or
naciations, four hanks and ninety
biding and loan cssoclations lncor
p<»ted, while ten corporations were
raiartered, three bank charters re
nted and nine charters issued on
uondmonts. Seven co-operative as
h'iatlons were incorporated.
Another interesting branch of the
£te business was that 326 election
turns were received on increase of
l>ck and 508 on actual increases of
sck or debt,the amounts running high
i the millions, while 35 returns on
♦ctions for decrease of stock were
ifcd. The election returns for increase
< debt came from 155 corporations.
The figures submitted to Secretary
bods by John B. Patrick, who looks
ter the statistical end of the depart-
Ent, show that an immense amount
« business was handled and that in
edition to the bonus fees the depart
*nt received $78,278.35 from cor
ra'ion fees, $2,839 from recorders
' deeds for commissions and $5,-
tf.Ol in miscellaneous fees.
December was the biggest month for
IE business, showing $.100,926.31 with
iy next with $88,674.68.

s j pendence Day

P A movement to celebrate the Fourth
3 of July next with a big home-coming
i event or a municipal fete will be
" launched by the Steelton Buslness
® men's Association at a meeting in the
North Front street headquarters Mon-
J day evening.
The subjedt of a big Independence
l day celebration next summer was
. broached first at the November meet
s ing of the merchants but on account
of the press of the then approaching
; holiday business, it was decided to
5 let the matter rest until the January
f meeting.
Merchants feel that a celebration
" next July would be a good thing for
t Steelton and point with pride to the
- big celebration staged on such short
notice last Fourth of July to show
that the people will fall in line for a
' good celebration.
At Monday evening's meeting the
> merchants will likely discuss plans for
t obtaining the early erection of the
s bandstand which borough council has
I signiiied u willingness to erect. The
• businessmen want the bandstand erect
■ ed in some central part of the borough,
i Its erection tney feel will be the first
• step towards obtaining weekly band
' concerts during the summer months.

LIES DOWN ON TRACK TO DIE
Workmen returning to their homes
from the Pennsylvania Steel Works
early this morning prevented an un
identified foreign woman from trying
out a new method of committing sui
cide. For some reason or other the
woman desired to die and coming
down to Front and Washington from
the lower end of the foreign
colony she laid her, head upon
the tracks of the Harrisburg Railways
company, apparently awaiting the ap
proach of a trolley. As the car ap
proached workmen jerked her away.
SKATING ON CANAI.
The first skating of the season was
enjoyed by Steelton youths to-day
when the old Pennsylvania Canal was
frozen over. Throughout the day
crowds of young folks skimmed over
the smooth ice of the narrow water
way and many little fires were kin
dled along the banks to warm hand
and feet between "skates."

KNOX IS BOOMED
FOR PRESIDENT
[Continued IVtim First Page.]
States as available presidential tim
ber.
[The Philadelphia Ledger to-day says
In a first page article on the subject:
"Progressives and Republicans, both
here and in the congressional delega
tion at Washington, not only expressed
approval of Mr. Knox as a senatorial
candidate, but went further, and re
garded him as definitely In the field for
the presidential nomination which
would reunite the old and the third
party. The feeling among political
' leaders was that if Pennsylvania is to
| win the Presidency Mr. Knox is the
logical candidate. They pointed out
» that Pennsylvania liad really blaxed
- the way in showing how the followers
of Colonel Roosevelt and the regular
' Republicans could solidly co-operate
* against the Democrats."
" The Inquirer in a Pittsburgh dis-
L patch says: "The announcement from
'• Pittsburgh by Philander C. Knox of
; his candidacy for the United States
Senate to succeed Senator George T.
Oliver, who will retire at the expira
-1 tlon of his term, brought forth assur
ances of support from many members
! of the Republican delegation in the
'■ House of Representatives from the
Keystone State. Every Pennsylvania
L Republican now in Washington pledg
ed his support to Mr. Knox for the
' Senate and all predicted his nomina
tion in the May primaries at the hands
; of the Republican voters, and his elec
-1 tion in November. Aside from Mr.
; Knox's candidacy for the Senate, the
suggestion that he be Pennsylvania's
candidate for the Republican Presi
' dential nomination created the great
-1 est interest. Every Pennsylvanian
spoken to commended the suggestion
of sending from Pennsylvania to the
Republican national convention in
• Chicago of a solid Knox delegation. It
■ was the concensus of opinion that with
! Pennsylvanian back of him, Mr. Knox
; would make an unusually strong can
[ didate and would give Pennsylvania
its first real opportunity of furnishing
i the next President of the United
States. If the views of the Pennsyl
-1 vania delegation in Congress in any
manner reflect the attitude of the Re
publicans of the State Mr. Knox is the
man of the hour in Pennsylvania."

RA/LROAD
FURTHER RELIEF
FOR LOCAL YARDS
Freight Office of P. R. R. Lift
Embargo; Send Letter
to Shippers
Orders issued late yesterday after
noon in Philadelphia raising further
freight embargoes will bring relief in
the local yards. A railroad bulletin of
to-day says:
"In spite of the large accumulation of
freight for export through the port of
New York, (he Pennsylvania Railroad
has removed practically all of the re
strictions it has had in effect on ac
cepting for nhlpment freight of this
kind. The restrictions which still re
main are as follows:
"Export freight—Flour, cotton and
lumber on through bills of lading.
"Domestic freight—Hay, straw and
i empty barrels.
i "It was with much hesitation that
> the railroad decided practically to re
. move all embargoes, us the restrictions
are termed, and it is certain that it
i will be necessary to impose the re
strictions again if shippers fail to
i co-operate with the railroad by offer
ing for transportation only such
, freight as can be disposed of promptly
! upon its arrival in the New York dis
i triet.
Tjcttor to Shippers
"Some indication of just what the
i situation is at the present time is given
i by this letter, which was sent to-day
; to the operating officers of the com
i pany at different points on the rail
road :
•• 'Will you be kind enough to make
; known to shippers, through channels
' at your command, that they should
understand that this modification was
i issued in spite of the fact that, there
has not been any very material reduc
tion in the number of cars we are car
rying for export, and that. In fact,
there still remains a considerable ac
, cumulation of cars loaded export
freight for New York, and therefore,
in order to avoid again placing this
embargo at an early date, shippers
will serve their own interests by offer
ing only such shipments for New York
export as can be very promptly dis
posed of upon arrival at the sea
board?' "

TRAFFIC REGULATIONS
ARE NEAR COMPLETION
[Continued From First Page.]
but tilings are different here, and we
must have rules to suit, local con
ditions. That is what I will try to have.
I find that Harrlsburg people need a
little trafiic education. Changes will
have to come gradually, and for this
reason I intend to go slowly.
"The first thing we will do will be to
educate the traffic officers. As there
will be some ordinances to look after,
and rules to arrange, It will require at
least a month before the new regu
lations will be in working order."
Some rules suggested by Mayor
Meals arc:
Prohibiting the use of muffler cut
out 011 automobiles.
Prohibiting excessive emission of
smoke and gases.
Prohibiting th« unnecessary use of
warning signals.
Providing- that all vehicles shall
carry lights from one hour after sunset
to one hour before sunrise.
Continuation of the near-side stop
regulations for street cars.
Additional safety zones for street
car patrons where it is possible to
have them.
Continuation of the protection for
these safety zones, with heavy fines
for vehicles encroaching upon the
rights of travelers.
Requiring all vehicles to come to a
full stop in the rear of street cars
stopping to take on or discharge pas
sengers.
Requiring pedestrians to cross
streets at regular crossings and study
closely the orders of traffic officers;
move when told to, and stop promptly
when ordered to do so.
Requiring the locking of motor
vehicles left standing on streets more
than five minutes.
Requiring license tags to be dis
played at all times and to be lighted
at night. Auto owners carrying tags
that cannot be read will be stopped
and ordered to clean tags at once.
Requiring all auto drivers having
accidents to report same as soon after
the accident as possible; to stop at
once and ascertain extent of injuries,
and, if it is a case for the hospital,
take the injured person there at once.
Mayor Meals said it is his intention
to impose a light fine for the first
offense, to increase the fine to $25 for
the second offense and to double it
for each subsequent offense.

$30,000 FIRE ON
COLDEST NIGHT
[Continued From First Page.]
When these burned, the heat and
smoke drove the firemen back a num
ber of times. The water froze on the
firemen who worked in relays because
of the intense cold. Neighbors opened
their homes and kept hot (ires going
to warm up the firemen when they
were obliged to quit because of the
cold weather.
Koof Falls In
Shortly after 2 o'clock the roof of
the hardware store building fell in.
This cut off further chances for the
flames to spread to adjoining build
ings as the flames were confuted be
tween two brick walls, that on the
bank side being double thickness.
The occupants of the Commercial
Bank apartments were up and ready
to move if necessary, but outside of
smoke, experienced little trouble.
This morning, with Fire Chief
Kindler, Mr. Strayer made a partial
examination of his building. Much
of the stock on the first floor will be
saved, but the contents of the cellar,
and the stock on the upper floor was
destroyed. Mr. Strayer said the esti
mate given out would cover his losses.
No One Injured
Notwithstanding the icy condition
of the streets, ladders and hose, no
one was injured during the fire. There
were numerous narrow escapes. One
line of hose got away from the fire
men and drenched a number of per
sons watching the fire.
The horses of the Relly Company
slipped, but escaped Injury. The en
gine horses of the Good Will Com
pany slid into a pole receiving alight
scratches. The new motor apparatus
was all in service, and proved a big
factor in preventing a spread of the
flames.
The origin of the fire was not de
termined up to late this afternoon.
There was a stove in the cellar of the
hardware store, but the firemen said
the flames started some distance from
the stove.
