SIX TRAWLERS SUNK Berlin, July 22 (by wireless). —Six British trawlers were sunk by German submarines off the English east coast on July 17, savs a German admiralty statement to-day. ' n SATURDAY EVENING, RELIC HUNTERS DESERT CANOES Lack of Camp Sites Necessi tates Radical Change in In dian Seekers' Plan Lack of suitable camping sites necessitated a change tn the plans of Dr. William K. Moorehead, of And over, Mass., and his party of arch aeologists who are seeking Indian history and relics aiong the Susque hanna river. This announcement was made to-day by Dr. George P. Donehoo, secretary of the Pennsyl vania Historical Commission, and his torian with the exposition. The large boats built for the expe dition have been sent back to Coopers town, N. Y., and the trip between Harrisburg and Chesapeake Bay will be made from town to town along the river. Dr. Moorehead and party will remain in Harrisburg until next week. It is probable they will return to Harrisburg at intervals. Duncan's island was visited yesterday and val uable relics and data were found. This morning the archaeologists at tended a meeting of the Pennsylvania Historical Commission. Secretary Donehoo made a partial report of the Susquehanna expedition and announc ed that he would give a complete re port later. The commission decided to make an additional appropriation for the Colonel William Crawford monument at Connellsvilie. Further plans for placing a tablet at Fort Hunter, near Harrisburg were considered. A tablet will also be placed at Coudersport, in honor of David Zeisaerger. The sec retary was auchorized to purchase some valuable collections of Indian relics for the State museum. After the business session the commissioners re ceived Dr. Moorehead and A. B. Skin ner of the Susquehanna expedition party. NATIONAL AID TO BE SECURED SOON [Continued From First Page] al Aid Good Roads bill is the con struction of rural roads and this is construed in the act to mean anv pub lic road over which the United States mails are or may hereafter be trans ported. The Act excludes every street and road in a place having a popula tion of 2,500 or more except that portion of any- street or road long which the houses average more than feet apart may be considered. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 1917, the Federal bill appropriates $5,000,000 for use throughout the Un ion; for the year 1918 $10,000,000 will be expended; for the year 1919, $15,- 000,000; 1920. $20,000,000,000 and for 1921. $25,000,000. This totals $75.- 000,000 of the $55,000 000 appropriat ed, the other $10,000,000 being speci fically reserved for the annual devel opment of roads in National forest reservations. Pennsylvania's share in the Federal distribution for the five years is $3,- 508,750, this State being third in the list of those receiving the moneys. Texas receives the greatest amount with New York coming next in line, followed by Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio, Missouri, California, lowa, Michigan and Kansas in order. While Commissioner Black and Chief Engineer Uhler have, as yet, made no definite selection of the roads to be recommended to the Federal gov ernment for improvement, it is known that the road 3 on existing State high way routes will receive first consid eration from the department. Wherc ever it is possible to secure federal aid in the improvement of a Pennsylvania highway, important State highway routes forming a position of the main arterial lines of the Pennsylvania highway system will in all probability be selected first. Under the provisions of the Federal Act the State Highway Department furnishes to the secretary of agricul ture statements setting forth the pro- ( posed construction of any rural post-! road on which it desires Federal aid. After the secretary of agriculture ap proves the project, the State Highway | Department then furnishes surveys, ! plans, specifications and estimates for! the road. On of the sec- [ retary of agriculture, he notifies the i State Highway Department and certi fies the fact to the secretary of the treasury of the United States, where upon the secretary of the treasury sets aside the share which the United I States is to pay for the proposed im proveinent which in no case is to ex- | ceed fifty per cent, of the total cost of the improvement. The State Highway Department then proceeds with the construction of the highway under its own supervis ion in accordance with the plans and specifications approved by the secre tary of agriculture and when the aforesaid road is completed, the sec retary of agriculture shall cause to he paid to the State the amount set aside for the project. There is a provision in the Federal [ bill which makes possible the adop-! tion of the same system of payments which the late State Hishway Com- j missioner Cunningham instituted in j Pennsylvania, namely, that the gov- 1 ernment's share of the Feaeral aid con struction can be paid on monthly es- 1 timates furnished by the State, thusi relieving the State from the necessity i of financing the entire operation until j completion. In Pennsylvania it was found that the State Highway Depart- 1 ment was financing on all State-aid | operations until after their comple tion at which time the applying coun ties, townships and boroughs contrib- j uted their payment to reimburse the! State. After consulting with the At- 1 torney general's department, the late I Commissioner Cunningham put a rul-' ing into effect compelling these apply- ' ing parties to pay their share pro; rata based on the monthly estimates s furnished them and in this way the; I State Highway Department was re-, i Ueved from the necessity of financing ; t lie entire operation until completion. 1 ; There is a proviso in the Federal bill which covers this point exactly and the United States is authorized to pay i its share to the States on estimates • from time to time. The Federal bill becomes effective at once, but the opening section states i "that no money apportioned under thlsj Act to any State shall he expended therein unttl its legislature shall have arsentod to the provisions of this Act. except that, until the final adjourn ment of the first regular session of the Legislature held after the passage of this act, the assent of the governor shall be sufficient." Just as soon as word is received from the secretary of agriculture, the State Highway Department of Penn sylvania will make announcement of the roads to be recommended to the Federal government for federal aid and it is expected that at least all the preliminary work thereon may be fin ished before the close of the present working season. MISS FISHER'S FUNERAL. Funeral services will be held at 2 o'clock, Monday afternoon for Miss Elizabeth Fisher, at her home, 410 Strawberry street. Burial will be made in the East Harrisburg cemetery. Miss Fisher died Thursday evening at the Harrisburg hospital. ( MARKETS METALS FEATURE OF TRANSACTIONS U. S. Steel Rises to 86 1-2; Beth lehem Drops Ten Points; Tobacco Gains By Associated Press New York, July 22.

Since 10 al. m. yesterday the plague killed 39 children in the five boroughs of Xew York city. There were 13 5 new cases. Impose Regulations of Increasing Severity By Associated Press • Xew York. July 22. Quarantine regulations of increasing severity due to tear of the. spread of infantile paralysis were reported to-day from a number of cities and towns near New York. At Mountain View, X. J., about 100 summer colonists from Xew York city, with a few from Xewark, have been ordered to leave their bungalows along the Passaic river and return homa All houses where children from Xew York have visited were put under a month's quarantine. The Erie railroad which serves thousands of commuters, has sent out a bulletin to fill its station agents warning them to notify prospective passengers that children will he barred from most of the stations. A total of 239 cases of infantile paralysis was re ported from Xew Jersey. The cases in Connecticut number 59. Xew York state outside cf New York city has 195. STRIKE SETTLEMENT HOPES ARE BLASTED [Continue*! From First Pafio] was resumed to Middletown and Pax tang by the cars and no serious dis orders occurred. Xo other suburban points were reached. In the city cars were operated and no disturbances were reported. The police and sheriff's deputies were sta tioned at places where the trouble started earlier in the week, but re 'ported no trouble. The cars will be kept on the lines as long as possible according to Felix M. Davis, superintendent of transporta tion. They are being operated by al leged strike-breakers. Arrest Five Hooters Five men were arrested during the morning by County Detective James Walters because they hooted and leered some of the crews on the cars passing in Market street. The strik ers. who had pickets at all street inter sections, made every effort to maintain order. Company officials stated to-day that should the men not return to work be fore Wednesday, no further plans have been made. Both the company officials and the union men said to-day that they expect an early settlement of the strike, but are hinging the situation on union recognition. To Get I'nion Money The first strike pay, union men stated to-day, will be made next week, as the Amalgamated Association of Street and Electric Railways Employes does not pay out any money the first week that members are on a strike. Strikers stated that outside contri butions have been received, together with assurances of aid from other or ganizations. The regular meeting of the strikers was held this afternoon at 2 o'clock at headquarters, 26 Xortli Third street, but nothing of importance occurred. The men were urged to be loyal and plans were started for another parade to be held next week. Demand Quelling of Disorder The most important development in the strike situation to-day from the standpoint of the public was the wide spread demand all over the city for energetic action on the part of the authorities in quelling the outbreaks of disorder along the street railway lines. It is intimated that Mayor Meals is not in physical condition to handle the situation and as a result many of the patrolmen are showing utter indifference to the general wel fare of the community. This is not true of all the officers and those who are honestly endeavoring to maintain order feel that they are handicapped by the attitude of other members of the force who have failed to appre ciate the seriousness of open disorder on the part of the unruly element of the city. District Attorney Stroup's declara tion that those brought before him for violations of law will be prose cuted to the fullest extent of the law has had a tendency to call attention to the apparent Indifference of some of the policemen. It is pointed out that the breaking up of noisy assemblages along the main streets and in those quarters where most of the trouble has occurred would go far toward pre venting the outbreaks. Strikers Greatly Concerned All the strike officials and the strik ers themselves are concerned over the situation. They see that public reac tion is bound to follow a continuance of disorder and that instead of their cause being benefited, it is likely to be injured. So far as the public is con cerned it doesn't seem to be a ques tion of favoring one side or the other: it is more a demand for restoration of order and the enforcement of law against those who have seized the op portunity to do about as they please. Jitneys Law Unto Themselves Complaints were commencing to be made to-day of the inadequacy of the jitney service which has been brought into being by the interruption of trol ley service and charges were heard that operators of unlicensed cars were acting as a law unto themselves. The police department, which encouraged the unlicensed jitney as a means of affording transportation in the present emergency is now being accused of falling to protect the public from overcharges, ignoring dangerous overcrowding and neglecting to re quire that men offering their cars for hire give proper service.

Ohiam REO IN FIGHTING TRIM * "While we Reo folk are not in any way belligerent nor eager for any kind or war orders, either foreign or domes tic, nevertheless we have, like many other patriotic citizens, made a study of the various implements of war, and especially such of them as naturally come within our immediate sphere," says Horace T. Thomas. Chief Engi neer of the Reo Company, and designer of the armored truck which was recent ly presented by the Reo Motor Truck Company to the State Militia, and de livered at the concentration camp at Grayling last week. "Many of our ideas as to what con stituted an effective fighting machine on wheels have been radically revised since the beginning of the European war," continues Mr. Thomas, "and this Reo armored truck is the result of some of those revisions. "In designing it we had In mind sev eral things, first of which, of course, was standardization. It is essential that any part of such a vehicle may be replaceable at the earliest possible mo ment and with the least possible delay under conditions that certainly are not ideal. This armored truck is there fore mounted on a standard Model F Reo truck chassis. The engine is the world famous 35-horsepower four-cyl inder Reo motor standard for now longer than any other in the world. "Lightness and speed are other re quisites. and so this Reo war truck, which has room for four machine guns and their operators, beside the chauf feur, weighs only 420 pounds com plete. and is capable of speed up to 35 miles per hour. "An interesting feature of this ma chine is the thinness of the nlate with which it is armored. Looking at it superficially, one would naturally sup pose that the plate must be at least half an Inch thick, and therefore be very heavy. As a matter of fact, in our experiments we discovered a peculiar thing that the modern high velocity also commencing to protest vigorously about the failure of the police to con trol the numerous cars in service. Girls Sit on Men's Laps The conditions last night between 5 and 6 o'clock with a thunderstorm at hand furnished an excellent illus traton of the irresponsibility of un licensed jitney drivers. Some of them demanded three times the ordinary i fare of a nickel, other refused point blank to take persons to outlying dis tricts even when offered five times the usual fare, others permitted six, eight and even ten persons to jam cars. Girls sitting on men's laps were not an uncommon sight in Market street. Striking trolleymen, who have been endeavoring to secure jitney ser vice for the public by acting as vol unteer dispatchers at corners, tried to get such accommodations for women as would not offend decency and to in duce jitney operators to take people to their homes, but they were unable to accomplish any more than those who wanted to ride. Policemen ap peared to consider that their sole duty was to keep traffic moving to the right. Licensed jitneyfnen who went to markets this morning for regular customers had to compete with oper ators who preempted curbs, "barked" for trade and demanded high prices and crowded cars beyond the safety limit. Their complaints and those of the people who refused to stand for extortionate rates and indecent crowd ing fell on deaf police ears. Jitney Complaints On Capitol Hill Complaint was made at the offices of the Public Service Commission to day by a woman who said that she lived in Steelton and had been charged a dollar by a jitney operatcfr. The number of the car was furnished and if it is found that the operator has no State certificate a test case, which will have far-reaching effect upon the present uncontrolled operation of jit neys, is possible. Pending formal action by the com plainant, no names were given out. Should information be made that any jitney is operating without a State cer tificate or citv license, magistrates would be required under the law to entertain the ca&e despite any attitude the city police might take. McLaughlin Complains Hugh L. McLaughlin, chairman of the grievance committee of the strik ers, to-day complained to the Public Service Commission that the Harris burg Railways Company employes were violating Rule 5 of the Commis sion, requiring cars to come to a full stop at grade crossings. It was charged that cars were run over the Eighteenth street crossing without the precautionary stop. For mal blanks for a complaint were given to Mr. McLaughlin, who will act in the case. Picket* Act a* Jitney Dispatcher* Although seventeen cars were sent out on the city lines of the company, before 7 o'clock this morning, few peo ple traveled in them. At the city markets, pickets from the carmen's union acted as dispatchers for the many jitneys being operated, and assisted many of the women In get ting In the autos with their baskets. Scores of women lined the sidewalks at the Chestnut street and Verbeke street markets watting for jitneys, and many of them were compelled to walk home with their heavily laden baskets, because of the long wait for autos. The majority of the women were afraid to ride in the cars because of the disorder during the week, and many complaints were heard because of the The Public Suffer* Last night the public realized the seriousness of no car service when the storm broke over the city. Jitneys rushed to and fro over the city streets, many of them violating traffic rules and hauling eight and ten passengers crammed in the front and back seats. The people could not bo accommodated, and many were drenched walking home JULY 22, 1916. rifle steel coated ball would easily pen etrate a half-Inch of case-hardened steel, and, for that matter much great er thickness. After experimenting for sometime we conceived the idea of using two thin plates of steel separated by an air space, and when we did that a peculiar phenomenon was witness ed. "The same rifle ball shot at a plate a fraction over an eight of an inch thick and separated from another plate by about three-eights of an inch, penetrated the first plate but was stop ped by the second one. The answer is simple the Impact against the first plate flattened the bullet so that it was easily stopped by the second one. "While capable of "turning any rifle or machine gun bullet, this Reo truck is very light and therefore speedy. "In addition to the portholes for the machine guns there are other portholes for the use of regular army rifles in "sniping" and similar operations. The protection of the machine gun port holes permits the operation to "sweep" this territory In a half circle, the port hole covering working on spring hinges. The driver is completely pro tected and yet able to see his road. The radiator is so constructed that bullets, hitting this part of the truck, are de flected. without damaging It. A can vas top is used to protect the gun crew from storms. The turrent is entered from the rear by a steel door, which fastens down tightly. A powerful dirigible electric light permits the driv er to see all points of the road as well as to detect the "enemy" from a dis tance and in any direction. Light for operating the guns is also furnished in the same mariner. "For actual warfare conditions steel discs may be added to the wheels to protect th.e spokes. The curved steel bar which extends from the radiator to the point above the driver's head is designed for cutting barbed wire en tanglements." in the rain. The jitney drivers in some instances were, unprepared for the downpour, and the rain came in at the sides, drenching the passengers. As no cars were running the hundreds of peo ple going to their homes, were either compelled to walk in the rain, or wait on a jitney. Criticisms were heard on all sides because of the strike and. lack of car service. Lewis Burkhart. who said he was a strike-breaker from New York, was fined $25 and cost 3 yesterday afternoon bv Alderman James DeShong on a charge of making insulting remarks to Miss Bertha M. Henry, South Thir teenth street. County Must Stand Share of Expense of Trolley Strike Wages of the deputie sheriffs, cost of repairs to damages of trolley cars, and other property of the Harrisburg Railways' company will not be the only expense that Dauphin county's taxpayers will have to bear as a re sult of the trolleymen's strike, coun ty officials pointed out to-day. That the county must necessarily pay for what damage has been done to cars and other property Is generally conceded. The county commissioners will take up that problem Monday. The biggest item however will be the costs of criminal prosecutions. Following the strike of 1877 arrests were made of rioters and would-be rioters, the names of the offenders having been taken during the disturb ance although the prosecutions were not made until months afterward. And the majority of these men were jailed.

Upon this theory T. B. Wildermuth of the Front-Market Motor Supply Company has arranged an attractive window display with Lubriko grease with the transmission of motor car working submerged in grease. Lubriko grease is among the many motor car special ties distributed by this local company. Others include the Atwater Kent ig niting system, which has displaced the magneto on thirty representative Am erican cars. The claims for the At water-Kent system is that it is a scientific ignition system which pro duces a single hot spark, uniformly hot and exactly alike in each cylinder, no matter whether the motor is being cranked slowly or running at forty- I five miles an hour. A Dann Insert consists of a perfor ated anti-friction and nonshock-con ducting metal, packed with a special graphite lubricant and inserted be-, tween each spring lear. It prevents rust and the consequent squawk, and practically eliminates vibration. The Goodyear is distributed by the Front-Market Motor Supply Company. This tire is among the best known of the leading makes, and has found ready sale in this territory. The klaxon coansnrd etaoin ufirew aterict doGo horns and klaxet needs no introduc tion.

This feature has contributed to ; the easy running qualities of motor , cars. Gabriel Snubbers Is a device I intended to keep you on the seat when (the roads are rough. As tne car springs compress, the spring within { the coll expands and takes up the slack in the belting, then, as the re | bound commences, the colls'of belting • begin to tighten and create friction on i the band of brass between them, thus forming a resistance that in action steadies and controls the car springs, and causes them to regain their nor mal position gradually without jolts or abrupt stop. Vacuum Mobiloils are among the well known lubricants that are feat ured by this concern and Hartford I Shock Absorbers, A-C Plugs, John son's Cleaner and wax, Carter Car | buretors.
