COAL PROBE WILL 1
START NEXT WEEK
I
Attorney General Will Meet
With the Men in Charge
of the Inquiry
\W a /// the advance made
thraelte coal after
tlle Imposition of
the anthracite tax,
l\ Jki999>Jt? which has for its
Ijiininr object the return to
hPuijmll consumers of money
paid by them as
tax. will be under
taken by the State
commission recently named by Gov
ernor Brumbaugh within a few weeks.
Sittings may be held in various cities.
Attorney General Francis Shunk
Brown, who is designated as counsel j
for the commission under the reso- '
lution creating it. has been working on |
plans for the coal probe and will con
sult with the members during the com
ing week in Philadelphia. It will then
be determined what policy to adopt
and the extent of the preliminary in
quiry. It Is understood that consid
erable data has been gathered by the
State.
The Escheat Art.—Time for filing
reports under the operation of the new
escheat law of 1915 will expire on
Monday, but the Auditor General's De
partment has received numerous re
guests to grant extensions of time be
cause of the work required to look up
deposits or holdings of money or prop
erty. It is expected that there will be
a test of the constitutionality of the
act instituted.
Next Week's Cases. Hearings on
the ruling of the Public Service Com
mission making one-way tickets good
I in either direction and on the increase
of rates for 100-trip tickets in vicinity
! of Philadelphia are scheduled for the
Public Service Commission next week.
Both cases have been before the com
mission for some time. The commis
sioners will sit in this city. Philadel
phia and Pittsburgh next week.
Eleven applications for charters are
due to come up on Monday, including
eight electric and two telephone com
panies. Among contracts listed for ap
proval are those for lighting the city
of Philadelphia for a year. The Marys
ville car service conies up on Tuesday.
To Define Wage.—Members of the
State Workmen's Compensation Board,
employment experts, employers, busi
ness managers, workers and men in
terested in economics, who have been
struggling for the last two or three i
weeks to define the terms "daily
wage." will devote next Wednesday |
afternoon to the subject in the hope of i
reaching a term which will stand in j
all compensation affairs. Of all the
definitions which the compensation I
board has been compelled to make,!
this proposition has been the most j
difficult, and a number of suggestions
have been made which will be sub
mitted for general discussion next
week. As most of the claims that will
be made will be based on the daily
wage, a general agreement that will
stand for all classes of employment is
essential. The coal operators and mine l
workers are showing much interest in
the proposition and will be well repre
sented. according to word received
here, while the iron and steel workers
will also send men here.
To Represent State.—Pennsylvania's
State Department of Mines will repre
sent the mining interest at the confer
ence to be held at Washington next
month under the auspices of the
T'nited States Department of the In
terior for the purpose of discussing the
safety work and getting together on
forms for reports and for general uni
formity in legislative and other mat
ters. This conference will bring to
gether the men in charge of the super
vision of mines of every Steite and sug
gestions for legislation will be drawn
up. Frank Hall, deputy chief of mines,
will represent the State's department
of mining.
Not Much Better.—Not much im
provement in the condition of the State
Treasury funds is expected to be shown
over the close of business for Decem
ber when the books for January are
posted. The receipts this month have
been rather light even for January and
the disbursements have been held
down accordingly.
Lynch Complimented. Thomas J.<
Lynch, of Bethlehem, who acted as
chairman of the Water Supply Com
mission during the period between the
death of Chairman John Birkinbine
and the reorganization this week was
formally thanked by the commission.
He will retain the work as secretary.
Studying Diseases. Ways and
means to avoid occupational diseases
which have been recognized for years
and newer dangers which have come
from the development of gasoline elec
trical and other machinery are being
studied by the medical experts of the
State Department of Labor and Indus
try for issuance In bulletin form at an
early date. For over a year the re
ports of accidents made to the Bureau
of Statistics and Information have been
analyze,. and studied and then follow
ed up by investigations in plants. One
of the latest investigations to be un
dertaken and the results of which will
|be published soon will be of carbon
I monoxide poisoning or petromortis as
it is called. This form of accident
which comes from breathing fumes
from combustion of gasoline has caus
ed a number of deaths in the country,
notably two in a garage in Centre
county. Warnings against conditions
which favor the dissemination of this
gas will be Issued.
Highways Hard Hit. State High
way Department officials are com
mencing to wonder which would be
worse for the roads of the State—the
present mild weather with its alternate
periods of freezing and mud or an old
fashioned snowy winter with the
ground covered with snow or frozen
hard. The department's maintenance
forces have been held ready to open j
highways in event of heavy snows, but!
have had little in that line. On the
other hand the weather and the rains
have caused many roads to be affected
and the traffic naturally caused some
damage to those which are not paved.
The dirt roads have been especially
hard hit and thousands of dollars will
have to be spent to put them into
shape.
Ludwig In Charge. - Walter D.
Ludwig, the forester In charge of
Western Pennsylvania forests, has es
tablished his headquarters at Johns
town. He will co-operate with local
and county authorities.
Pittsburgh Schools. Pittsburgh
will start next week fifty-three contin
uation schools. Three of these will be
in factories.
Radio Company Mustered. The
National Guard Radio company has
been mustered at Pittsburgh from men
who were In the Fourteenth Infantry,
The existing signal corps company will
become a wire company. Major Fred
G. Miller, Pitsburgh, will command
the two companies under the name of
the First Battalion Signal Troops.
Two Appointed. Commlsioner
Jackson last night appointed James O.
Haslett, Carnegie, a deputy factory in
spector, and Samuel 11. Thompson,
Wilkinsburg. to a positio nin the Pitts
burgh Employment Bureau.
Newburg Paid. The school dis

DEALERS GETTING
READY FOR SHOW
Preparations in Full Swing For
Harrisburg's Greatest Auto
mobile Exhibit
With the ihow *lied tiled for on# month earl
ier than usual, the dealera hare lea* time for
preparations, but sufficiently ample to get the
newest models here for demonstration. And '
with their customary energy, they display ex- i
Mplionilly good team work when they con
centrate their efforts in making the local show
a success. The second meeting wi# held at the
Overland-Ilarrisburg quarters, where the final
details as to allottmeut of space were agreed
upon. The dealers who require a large space
to show an assortment of models of the vari
ous nukes represented by their respective local
agencies, have shown a commendable spirit
in yielding space so as to permit others to
come in who are content, to display only one ,
model. Several others tpvc declared their in
tention of permitting the shears to be applied ;
Ito their space Again if necesasry in order to
accommodate as wide a range of makes ns
boelhlt. The more different makes that are 1
shown, the greater the public interest, and
Harrisburg is rapidly acquiring a reputation for
being an exhibition center as well as the heart
of d'stributlou.
B. It. Johnson, who liss again been chosen
to manage the show, promises some exception
ally attractive decorations and unique feature*
that will enhance the beauty of the show and
contribute to the entertainment of the public.
THREE WOMEN KILLED;
AUTO HIT BY TRAIN
[Continued from First Past*.]
order to approach from a circuitous
routs. The driver'was completely oc
cupied with maneuvering- his car hack
ward along the narrow road and could
not hear the train around the corner.
Not until the roar of the engine was
almost above him did he appreciate the
danger, and then it was too late. He
had just time enough to shift from re
verse gear to first speed when the en
gine. going at a rapid pace, smashed
into the rear left sido of the machine
and hurled it with its occupants onto
the eastbound track.
Women in Rear Sent
The three women were sitting on the
rear seat, one of them holding little
Anna Myers in her lap. The two men
were tn front and both received only
slight cuts and bruises about the face
and body. All were thrown from the
car on their heads, with the result that
two of the women were instantly killed
and the other died a few minutes after
ward. The little tot was hurled far
ther than any of them, but in some
miraculous way escaped injury. Daniel
Wingert and his son were treated by
Dr. George B. Kunkel. surgeon for the
Heading Railroad, and Dr. G. I* Lav
erty, who were hurried to the scene of
the accident on the Gettysburg and
Harrisburg train which leaves Harris
burg about 9 o'clock, but which was
delayed this morning in order to take
the two surgeons to the spot where the
accident occurred.
< Dr. J. H. Deardorf. coroner, of Me
chanicsburg, took command of the sit
uation and had the bodies removed to
the schoolhouse on the hill. The
owner of the ear remained cool and
collected while he was being treated,
but the strain was too great and he
broke down after it was all over. As
far as could be ascertained, the acci
dent was observed only by the crew on
the engine and a Mrs. Ida Bucher, who
saw the whole thing from her kitchen
window.
Eye-Witness Tells Story
"I saw the machine stop right in
the middle of the track," said Mrs.
Bucher. "and then the train came
rushing around the corner and hit
tliem. f saw a black whirl in the air
and that wan »"• I nearly fainted
j with terror."
Milk train Xo. 65, pulled by engine
I Xo. 593, happened to be late this
| morning and did not reach the cross
ing until a little before 9. Ordinarily
|it is due there at 8.02. There is a sta
tion only a short distance below, where
I the train is accustomed to stop, and it
was not going at an enormous speed.
The curve is not more than a hundred
yards from the crossing, and between
the time that the driver of the auto
mobile saw the train and the time that
I would usually be required to shift
gears and start in the opposite direc
tion was not sufficient to avert the
accident.
The car, a brand-new five-passenger
Pullman, was demolished and glass
and upholstery scattered all along the
track. The bodies were not horribly
mangled, however.
A smi-.il group of the Brethren in
Christ, who in themselves f<ym a very
active community at Grantham, where
a noodle factory, canning factory and
Bible and missionary school form the
principal activities of the town, stood
•around and discussed the accident.
I Little was said while the bodies of the
i victims were covered over with the
I robes from the machine.
GOV. BRUMBAUGH
MARRIES HIS WARD
[Continued From First- Page.]
ito which both the Governor and his
bride belong and pastor of the church
attended by them, said to-day in Phila
delphia that he would perform the
i ceremony, but declined 10 say when or
[where as the Governor had expressed
a desire to have a quiet ceremony. It
is understood that only members of
the immediate families and a very
'few intimate friends of the pair will
!be present. The Rev. M. C. Swigart,
of Philadelphia, a close friend, will
assist.
The first news of the wedding came
from Philadelphia tills morning when
it was telegraphed that the Governor
had secured a license giving his oc
cupation as a teacher, age as 54 and
residence Harrlsburg, and Miss Parks
as a resident of Philadelphia and her
age as 40.
Roth the Governor and his bride are
natives of Huntingdon county and
since the death of her mother the
bride has lived with members of the 1
Brumbaugh family. Her mother was
a Brumbaugh and she Is a fifth cousin
of the Governor. Miss Parks was
educated at Juniata College, Hunting
don. of which the Governor was pres
ident. She is also a graduate of Drex
el Institute, Philadelphia. She has
been a life-long member of the Church
of the Brethren and has given much
i time to the philanthropic work of her
church and among whose people she is
known for her kindly spirit.
The Governor and his bride will go
on a southern wedding trip and re
turn to this city next month.
1 The bride of the Governor has visit
ed Harrisburg several times. She at
tended the Governor's inauguration
and met a number of Harrisburg peo
-1 pie on that occasion. She has also
toured part of the State with friends
1 of the Governor last Fall.
The news of the Governor's wedding
I was n surprise to many people in this
city and the telegram from Philadel
phia telling of the Issuance of the
I j license was the theme of Capitol Hill.
Only a few intimate friends of the
Governor in this city were aware of the
fact that the wedding would take place
30 soon, although there had been ru
mors that he would wed again.
