Ist of the year than in the last three
nonths of 1915. Notices have also l

Most of the applications have come 1
rom interests which already have
barters for furnishing electricltv, in-t
ludlng some in Allegheny, Beaver, j
hitler, Chester, Lancaster, Lebanon,
;erks. Clearfield and other counties. :
t is believed that while most of the
pplications have come for extension !
f business, some of them have been
echarters in a sense that nothing was i
one under charters obtained more i
ban two years ago. Under the law, '
nilure to make a start on work within 1
wo years forfeits the charter.
It is believed, however, that, much
f the activity is due to the attitude of
he Public Service Commission in re- i
iricUng ruinous competition and that
his has spurred people to getting
ranchises for as much territory as j
an be served or held.

le Careful in Using
Soap on Your Hair
Most soaps and prepared sham
>os contain too much alkali, which
very injurious, as it dries the scalp
id makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use Is just plain
ul.sified eocoanut oil, for it is pure
id entirely greaseless. It's very
leap, and beats the most expensive
aps or anything else all to pieces,
ou can get this at any drug store,
id a few ounces will last the whole
mily for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
id rub it in, about a teaspoonful is
1 that is required. It makes an
mndance of rich, creamy lather,
eanses thoroughly, and rinses out
isily. The hair dries quickly and
enly, and is soft, fresh looking,
ight, fluffy, wavy, and easy to
indie. Besides, it loosens and takes
it every particle of dust, dirt and
indruH.
TTTCTRSDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG nfljjiftr TELEGRAPH FEBRUARY 3, 1916.
D. B. Ainey, of the Public Service
Commission, is spending a few days at
his home in Montrose.

Public Grounds and Buildings will

Representative Here. Represen
tative J. R. Wylie. of Philadelphia,
was here for the State school directors'
convention.
Interested In Meetings. State De
partment of Agriculture officials are
taking a big interest In the farmers'
institutes in this county because of
the manner in which the marketing
problem is being put to the front.
This is one of the subjects in which
the Governor has taken a deep inter
est.
Oleo Sales Defined. An opinion
was given to-day by Deputy Attorney
General Hargest to Dairy and Food
Commissioner Foust that merchants
holding licenses to sell oleomargarine
at retail cannot take orders for that
product in any city or town except
that designated in the license. It is
held that both the person and the
place are licensed and that "the li
cense issued does not authorize an itin
erant business in oleomargarine." On
the latter point the opinion says, "If
a license were a roving commission to
permit taking of orders in cities and
towns other than one designated in
the license it would make inspection
or supervision by the dairy and food
commissioner extremely difficult."
Deputy Attorney General Collins
holds in an opinion to the Department
of Labor and Industry that if the Sea
men's Boardinghouse Keepers' Asso
ciation, inc., Philadelphia, conducts the
business of an employment agency it
jmust take out a State license.
School Complains. Complaint
was made to-day to the Public Service
Commission by the Mansfield State
Xornial school, Tioga county, against
the rates charged by the Mansfield
Water Company, which are declared
to be unreasonable and unjust.
Stock Tax Pays Well. The new
stock transfer tax, one of the series of
revenue raisers provided by the last
legislature, yielded the Commonwealth
$33,11(i.28, in its first month. It be
came effective January 1 and the war
business helped. The State Treasury
to-day received the cash from the
stamp agents which sent as follows:
Farmers and Mechanics, Philadelphia,
$13,056.78; Land Title and Trust Com
pany, Philadelphia, $12,328.14; Colo
nial Trust, Pittsburgh, $4,974.16; Mel
lon National, Pittsburgh, $1,898.94;
First National, Harrisburg. $858.26.
The amount of the tax is rather larger
than the State officials expected and
they believe it will be a valuable
source of revenue as long as the mar
ket maintains its activity.
Federal Agent Here. ' — Miss Deme
Passe, agent of the otfice of public
roads and rural engineering of the
United States Department of Agricul
ture, visited the Highway Department

Brumbaugh, Governor of Pennsylva
nia, wires from Pinehurst, N. C., where
he is enjoying his honeymoon, that "If
the administraUon sincerely wishes

and property at home and abroad."

of the wreck:
The Sudden Crash
"Mrs. Stranahan and I had been j
attending the wedding of John M.
Rhev, of Carlisle .and Miss Agnes El- |
liott, Pittsburgh, niece of Prothono- j
tary George Pearson, of the Supreme !
Court. *
"We left Pittsburgh early yesterday i
morning and Just about seven or eight j
miles east of Johnstown I stepped into j
the retiring room. Suddenly there was j
a crash and I was thrown violently I !
against the walls of the car. For a i
moment, I suppose, X must have been I
dazed, for the next thing I knew I j
was lying face downward against the
door of the room. It was directly
under me and the -window was over
head. So I knew that the car had
overturned and was probably lying on |
itside. Some trainmen and other
folks helped me out of my tight placo
and I started to search for Mrs. Strana
han.
Finds Wife Bleeding
"Some of the trainmen told me that
she was uninjured, but I found lier a
little later, bleeding from several se
vere cuts. Sho was badly shaken up,
of course, but so far as we have been
able learn she is not seriously hurt.
Mrs. Stranahan had been sitting well
forward in one of the parlor cars.
"Until physicians arrived from •
Johnstown we were given the nicest |
sort of attention by Dr. Jeanette Hurd j
Sherman, a woman physician of Ridley
Park. Pittsburgh."
"Did you go back to Johnstown?" |
Mr. Stranahan was asked.
"No, we were placed in another car j
and brought on here to this city. We ,
got in about 6 o'clock, I should judge."

CENTRAL IRON AND STEEL
ABLE TO PAY INTEREST
The announcement was made yes
terday that the Central Iron and Steel
Company is now able to pay some s3l,

WILSON'S BELIEF
ABOUT AMERICAN NAVY
[Continued • From First Page.]
to match the business of America
against that of the rest of the world."
He explained that the United States
must keep out of the war if possible
in order to help in the "healing px-o
eesses."
The President declared that such a
war uever would come again; that it
will never come again, and that war
will put forward the time of universal
peace better than anything else
could.
When he spoke of his conviction
that a tariff board should be created
the applause was enthusiastic. He
then spoke of national defense.
The President opened with the
statement that he had "come seeking
something in the Middle West and
found it." He said he had been told
the Middle West was against pre
paredness but did not believe it.
"I know the people of the Middle
West are just as patriotic as the rest
of the nation," he said.
"I did not come out to learn how
you thought but to tell you what was
going on. I came out that there may
! be absolute clarification of the issues
! we are now confronting.
Genuine Peace Here
"What is the situation? The situa
tion is that America is at peace with
1 all the world and wishes to remain
at peace. It is not a shallow peace;
it Is a genuine peace, based on some
| of the most fundamental things of in
' ternational law.
•'America Is at peace with all the
world because she Is the friend of all
the world. The friendship is also
genuine. We are the friend of all the
world because we are made up of all
the world and understand all the
world."
"It would tear the heart strings of
America to be at war with any other
nation.
"We believe we can show our
friendship for the world better by
keeping out of this struggle than by
getting Into it. Ido not misread the
spirit of America.
"I have no indictment of any form
of government.
"No man can lead America any
where that her people do not desire
to be led. I believe it to be my duty
to subordinate my individual feelings
to the -conscientious attempt to in
terpret and express in these interna
tional affairs the genuine spirit of my
fellow citizens.
Peaec Disciples
"So far as America is concerned no
man need go amongst us preaching
peace. We are disciples of peace al
ready and no man need preach that
gospel to us.
"Suppose my neighbor's house is on
fire and the roof is of combustible
material, it is not my fault if the fire
spreads. The danger is not from
within but from without.
"The comanders of submarines for
the most part are In accord with law
of nations but the act of one com
mander may set the world on fire.
"There are cargoes of wheat and
cotton and manufactured articles on
the soa and every one of them may

the zone of Are.
Situation Delicate
"America has drawn no fine points,
no new issue in her international
relations, she has merely asserted the
rights of mankind when the life of
mankind is threatened in a world
aflame with war. She has rested
upon what ia already written plain on
the documents of international law."
The crowd cheered. The President
said that someday statesmen of the
older countries would have to admit
that it was America that kept burning
the flame of international law upon its
altar when every other altar in the
world was swept by the winds of
passion.
"I am ready to make every patient
allowance," he continued, '"for those
whose tempers are upset by war.
AVon't Yield Vital Points
"I am not in a critical frame of
mind. lam ready to yield everything
but. the vital points. X know how, in
time of trouble, if we were in danger,
1 might, thrust aside punctiliousness.
"I am ready to make allowances for
both sides.
"You know how one set of bel
ligerents is shut off from the rest of
the world. Therefore the United States
is not able to express itself toward
them as they would like. 1 believe the
United States is really neutral.
"My fellow-citizens, white we know
our own purpose, it does not follow
that other nations understand.
"Men press forward with a sort, of
blind recklessness.
"The peace of the world, including
America, rests with the remainder of
the world and not with America.
Crowd Boars Approval
"Either we shall sit still and wait
for the necessity for immediate na
tional defense to come and then call
for volunteers, who would be for the
first few months impotent as against
a trained -and experienced enemy, or
we shall adopt the ancient American
principle that, tho men of the country
shall be ready to take care of their
own government,"
The crowd ronred its approval.
"Vou have either got to gel the men
of this notion ready to withstand the
first onslaught or you liave got to be
ready to suffer from the first disaster."
Wants Trained Citizenship
When tho President said he was
only asking for a trained citizenship
he was cheered. He said he did not
want to command a great army, but
to command the support and con
fidence of his fellow-citizens. He
urged that it. would be cruel to send
untrained men into battle.
"The plans now before Congress are
merely plans to save the lives of
American youths," he said, "and those
plans will go through. I am not in
sisting upon the details, but upon the
principle.
"The modern fighting ship, sub
marine—every instrument, of modern
warfare—must be handled by experts.
All we are asking for now is a suffi
cient number of experts and a sufficient
number of vessels at their disposal.
There is no better service in the world
than the service of the United States
navy. But the navy must have more
ships, and we are going to give the
navy the ships it needs.
Must Have Ships
"We are going to have more ships.
We have been going about it leisurely,
but now we must get down to business.
We must have a program and then
stick to it. The navy has a great task.
No other navy has such a task.
"We ought to have the greatest navy
In the world." he declared amid great
applause. He explained that the coast
line of the United States was so long
that many ships were needed.
The President said there were many
people in the United States talking
about national defense who did not
know what they were talking about.
"They should be encouraged to hire
a large hall." he said.
The President ended his speech amid
applause. The band played "Amer
ica." He stood and sang.
There was a great overflow crowd on
the outside of the building.
President Wilson demanded last
night that steps be begun during the
present month to back him up in de
fending American lives and commerce
abroad, in an address at Kansas CitJ\
His demand met with shouts and ap
plause from an audience of 18,000
persons, who waved American flags,
leaped to their seats and cheered.
When the President ceased speaking
he leaned forward and asked the
great throng to join him in singing
''America," The band played softly,
the audience stood and the words of
America's national anthem camd in a
glorious burst of song.
Crowd With President
The big crowd was for the President
from the start. It waited patiently an
hour to see him and cheered itself
hoarse in a three-minute demonstra
tion when he appeared. Sixteen thou
sand heard him; 20,000 were turned
away and 10,000 more thied to glimpse
hixn as he left Ills hotel for the hall.
"Why, some men in Washington are
questioning If we could get the 500,000
men for which the government is ask
ing," he said at one point of his ad
dress.
"Would they volunteer?"
A man in the far end of the hall
shouted his answer over the heads of
the crowd: ' "Yes," he cried.
A dozen men—a score—fifty—echo
ed the word and the hall was in a tur
moil. President Wilson smiled and
held out his hand.
Why, I believe, he said, as the tu
mult died, you could raise the 500,000
men in almost any State. I believe
you could get 5,000 men right here in
this audience.
1 have been thrilled by the experi
ences of these last few days, the Presi
dent said, and I will go home to Wash
ington and smile at the gentlemen who
say the United States Is not awake.
"Those gallant men who sit on the
hill in Washington and make our laws
ure going to deliver the goods—" the
crowd cheered. "Don't misunderstand
me, they are going to deliver the goods
because you want the goods deliv
ered." . „
The President said the time had
come for him to ask his fellow-citizens
to "get up on your hind legs and talk
and tell the people who represent you
what the Nation desires and demands.
The thing that everybody in a democ
racy Is listening for is the tramp!
tramp! tramp! of the facts."
It was following an address this af
ternoon at Topeka, Kan., in which he
declared that "America is not going
to abide the habitual or continual neg
lect" of Its rights under international
law, either with respect to the safety
of its citizens or its rorelgn commerce,
President Wilson spoke here:
"jcor one thing, It may be neccs-
sar.v." tlie I'resident said with an em
phatic gesture, "lo tlie forces of
tlie United Stnles to vindicate the
rights of American citizens every
where to enjoy tin- rights of inlcriin
t ion a I law.
"We must also insist on the rights
!of Americans to trade with the
! world," he continued. "We shall re-
I spect any blockade, hut the world
! needs the products of the United
j States and we will insist that the world
gets them."
The Philippines, the President said,
i would be freed.
! "That (lag will come down," he de
clared, "when we. feel that the Philip
j pines can take over tlieir own affairs
and no longer require our protection;
! and it will be more honored in the
lowering than in the raising."
| President Wilson was greeted with
j applause as he rose after being intro
; duced by Governor Capper, who said
I that, If necessary, at least 100,000
Kansas men would answer the call of
the government. Several thousand
| American flags were dropped from the
ceiling. The audience stood . and
j cherd.
; "For one thing it may be necessary."
'the President said in his address with
an emphatic gesture, to use the forces
of the United Suites to vindicate tho
; rights of American citizens everywhere
to enjoy the rights of international
law. America is not going to abide
the habitual or continual neglect of
| those rights."
i The President also declared:
"Some men of foreign birth have
tried to stir up trouble. But there are
; also some men born here who have
I tried to stir up trouble in America.
"And if you could listen to the
'counsels dinned into my cars almost
| every day at Washington, you would
find that some of the most inteemper
ate have come l'rom the lips of men
■ who for generations together have
I been identified with America, but who
i for the moment have been carried
away by their sympathies that they
i have ceased to think in terms of Am
erican tradition and politics."
i The President addressed a big over
flow meeting in the Topeka High
[school. Most of the audience was
! composed of students. They gave
'their school yells as he entered. Uov
i ernor Capper again introduced him.
"Do you not know that some of our
hearts arc already on fire?" he said.
