SPEND ANOTHER HALF MILLION [Continued From First Pane] stpek. the construction of a new ore bridge, addition of two new gas-blow ing engines and an extension to the present ore yard Some of the equipment for remodel ing E furnace has already been or dered and just as soon as it arrives the stack will be taken out of blast and its Reconstruction started. At present this stack has a daily capacity of 300 tons. When recon rn*A lc ted't will have a daily capacity of tons, the si'.me as C stack and the new B stack, recently authorized and which is now well under way. E furnace will be equipped with a skip hoist for loading and will be thoroughly modern throughout, with the latest improvements in blast fur race construction incorporated in its erection. Addition of the two new gas-blowing engines is necesspry to furnish an ade quate supply of compressed air for eperation of the improved batterv of furnaces. It has not yet been decided Just what type of engines to install, but the new machines will likely be built by the Bethlehem Steel Com pany, which makes a specialty of gas engines. At present the blast furnace power plant includes the world's two largest pas-blowing engines. It may be neces sary to build an addition to the present engine house, but this has not been definitely decided. The new ore bridge will give an other huge machine for handling ore preparatory to charging the various stacks. The proposed machine will HARRISBtTRG TELEGRAPH be a duplicate of the present modern bridge at the ore yard. Extension of the present ore yard 290 feet will make available a larger space for storing ore. Announcement by General Manager Quincy Bent of this big improvement program, coming as it does so soon after the awarding of a contract for building an entirely new blast furnace, is more than good news to Steelton people and to the army of 7,000 em ployes of the Steelton plant. It was this announcement, probably, that Mr. Bent had In mind when he spoke at the booster banquet at Steelton last week. At that time he declared the new owners had something big In store for the borough. To-day's announcement definitely sets at rest any doubts that may have been held as to the intention of the Schwab interests to make the Steelton i plant one of their big producers. WITIESS IDENTIFIES HIPPLE'S SLAYER i r Continued From First I'age] | n JM MttpfjH pill LEWIS C. HIPPLE to this city with the Intention of at tacking Dixon and Arms. Officer Hippie shortly before 1 | o'clock got Dixon and Arms out of bed and they pointed out Wilson and I White to him. According to Arms, Patrolman Hippie had grabbed White when Wilson drew back and shot him. The patrolman crumbled up in a heap on the pavement. Arms, who was standing on the other side of the i street, declares that after the officer fell, Wilson fired two more shots, and 1 then both colored men retreated through the subway. Dixon stated that he heard three shots, saw the , men running and gave chase. Clay -1 burn D. Shultz and H. M. Bathurst 1 were coming through the subway at the time in an automobile, but failed to halt the men, as three shots were i fired at them. White when arrested said that he ROAD CHARTER IS NOW UNDER FIRE Interesting Case Before the At torney General's Depart ment at Present State Capitol are ■<!Sx\\iSkcr following with more than ordi nary interest a pro- Dceedlng which is IvJOSSSPfc' under way in the 11 JtMnnlmtlw a "°rney general's «£IImOUOI|I office to attack In the courts the Manor Turnpjke Road company, of Lancaster county. This company has a road and the Lancaster Automobile Club has charged before the Public Service Commission that it has failed to meet requirements and has also in stituted quo warranto proceedings be fore the attorney general to have the j commonwealth act to revoke the char ter. The hearing was held before Dep luty Attorney General W. M. Hargest; It was charged that, the company had not maintained its road as some peo ple thought it should and that It had i also charged higher tolls than author ! lzed in the charter. The interesting feature is that the I company has one of the charters granted many years ago by the legis lature and if the case goes to court ' it will be an instance of a fight to ' revoke a legislative charter because j of alleged abuse of it. j "Uncle Bob" Here*—Ex-Senator R. M. Edmlston. known as "Uncle Bob" I by many on Capitol Hill, was here yes- Iterday to see the Governor, i To Make Observations—Patrick Gil day, chief of the bureau of mediation, will go to Pittsburgh to make obser vations in the miners' strike condi tions.

Denny, of Montrose, was to-day ap pointed judge of the courts of Susque hanna county to succeed the late Judge Ralph R. Little. The appoint ment of Mr. Denny was asked yester day by a committee of Susquehanna countians. Big Case Goes On.—The Public Service Commission to-day continued the hearing in the complaint of the Pittsburgh Coal Operators Association against the rates of the Pennsylvania railroad for hauling coal to Philadel phia and other points, in which most of the big coal companies have inter vened. The case will have a wide ef fect and will probably last for several days. Representative Here.—Representa tive J. R. Wylle, of Wilkinsburg, was at the State Capitol to-dav. Named On Board.—Harry T.

Several 32 caliber cartridges were taken from his pockets when he was searched, and then every available officer on the force, both on day and night duty, was called out to aid in the search for the other man. Officer Hippie's death occurred while he was being taken to the Har risburg Hospital in the police ambu lance. one of the bullets passing through his heart. Tragedy Follows Row in Ward Later It was learned that Tom May berry and John Gray, colored, knew of the row last night and they were ar rested as witnesses. Clarence Hairston came to police headquarters at 6 o'clock this morning and volunteered information about the case, saying that the gun Delonged to Wilson and that the men had gone to Steelton for it ™, he disturbance in "the ward." Wilson, when arrested, declared that he heard shots in the direction of the subway and that shortly afterward w. hite ran up to him and said, "Take \ m ., ln wrong. I'll tell you about it later. Arms, one of the wit nesses found to-day. Insists that Wil son fired the shots at Hippie. One bullet passed through the body and one in the left wrist. It is believed that If a third shot was fired at the patrolman, it went wild. Frank Martin, of the Martin Hotel, also saw Officer Hippie arrest the men and he also saw the shooting, but wasn't sure who fired at the police man. Mr. Martin, Arms and Hairston. it is believed, will be the principal witnesses when formal charges are brought against White and Wilson. A post-mortem examination was made mornin * at the morgue af Hoover & Son, undertakers, but no time has been set for the inquest. District Attorney Michael E. Stroup Coroner Jacob Eckinger and city police are collecting evidence and Information about the murder for the inquest and hearing. Wilson and White came here about a month ago with other negroes from the South t.o work. Police to Honor Dead Commde Although no definite funeral ar rangements have been made, it is be lieved that the services will be held Monday in the Market Square Presby terian Church, with the Rev. Dr George Edward Hawes officiating. Plans have been started to have the police force turn .out in a body. The body will probably be opened for view ing on Sunday evening at the home of his parents.
