SURFACE MAKES
FINAL APPEAL
Says Patton Is Friendly, bul
Comission Wants to Please
His Enemies
\ W / * ace - whose dis-
NX\\ missal as State zo-
ologist becomes ef
fective to-day, in a
iSjpflw/wi*letter to Governor
Brumbaugh Just
quotes Secretary
Patton to the ef
ffe-'" ■—■j.a feet that he was
willing to have
Surface remain, but that the State
Agricultural Commission, anxious to
play into the hands of Surface's ene
mies, ordered the dismissal.
"Patton," the letter goes on," says as
far as he is concerned ho is willing to
have me remain as we can work har
moniously together for the good of the
public." And again: "He told me in
personal conversation this afternoon
that the act of the commission is due
primarily to two factors: My doing
my duty fearlessly and thus making
enemies who have been active, and
the undermining and knocking of
some of my own employes."
Surface asks the Governor again for
a public hearing.
"Let Us Help You!"—" Let Us Help
You!" This is the catch line of the first
display advertisement ever used by
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
It is in the display advertising of the
bureau of employment of department
•of labor and industry. It occupies a
full page, inside back cover, following
pure reading matter of the monthly
bulletin of John Price Jackson's de
partment. The ad sets forth the big
list of applications on file with the
bureau by employers who want to till
positions paying from $3 per week up
to SISOO per year. This is the first
time the State has used display adver
tising. it has printed "legal advertis
ing" and such solid matter for many
years for one purpose and another, in
cluding the quite popular constitu
tional amendments. And it has turned
out reams and reams of newspaper
copy, written by more or less expert
press agents. One feature of the ad
would commend itself to all adver
tisers. It costs the bureau nothing.
Governor Busy. Governor Brum
baugh has not been idle during his
recent trip to Maine and a number of
his speeches are given very compli
mentary mention in some of the news
• papers of the Bay State. The Augusta
Daily Kennebec Journal describes the
Governor as "the genial, ruddy-faced
Governor of Pennsylvania" and tells
how "he had no trouble in gaining the
strong favor of the convention."
"He was reminded, he declared, by
his journey from his summer home in
Wayne, of the Democratic national ad
ministration policy—it was so full of
detours, muddy, slippery and without
apparent serious direction."
"All Republicans are loyally rally
ing to the support of Hughes in Penn
sylvania and other parts of the coun
try," was one of the messages which
the Governor took to the Maine con
tingent.
Files Complaint. Charles F.
Shower, living at 202 South Thirteenth
street, this city, has filed with the Pub
lic Service Commission a complaint
against the Carlisle Gas and Water
Company and the Carlisle Light, Heat
and Power Co., alleging that the lat
ter company unfairly attempted to
compel him to transfer his electric
light meter in a tenement house own
ed by him in Carlisle from the second
story to the basement, at his own ex
pense, in order that the meter might
be in the same place as his gas and
water meters, thus making easier the
work of the man who reads the meters.
Infantilo Paralysis Warning.
Warnings were sent to officers of the
Order of Elks in Pennsylvania not to
take children under sixteen years to
the annual convention of the lodge to
be held in Reading the week of
August 28, due to the prevalence of in
fantile paralysis there. The commit
tee in charge of the annual outing of
the Lutheran Home at Topton has re
ceived similar warning. New cases
were reported to-day from Carbon
dale, Bristol, Honesdale, Langhorn
and Williamsport.
Fischer Hearing. The proceed
ings against Mayor J. F. Fischer, of
Williamsport, will be heard to-mor
row before the attorney general. It
is charged that Fischer is not a citizen
having neglected to take out his final
naturalization papers.
To Free Koad. State Highway
Commissioner Frank B. Black will go
to Philadelphia to-day to meet with
the Lancaster Improvement Company
officials relative to purchase by the
State of the toll road between Phila
delphia and Paoli. Offer of sale was
made sortie months previous to the
death of Commissioner Cunningham
but the figure was regarded by the
department as too high. The road is
nearly 14 miles long.
To Inspect Plants. John
S. Splcer, chemical engineer of the
Department of Labor and Industry,
left for Pittsburgh to-day where he
will begin a series of inspections of
chemical and explosive plants.

and allowing pro rata pay for over
time, as has been suggested, but they
said such a system would have decided
advantages over the one under which
they now are working.
Under that plan a man earning $4
in ten hours would make the same
amount in eight hours, and overtime
would start at 50 cents an hour in
stead of 40. Thus at the end of ten
hours he would have earned $5 in
stead of $4 as he now earns and be
gttting 1% pay for overtime.
Wilson decided to-day to postpone
further conferences with the represen
tatives of the railroads and employee
on the threatened railroad strike un
til to-morrow when he will receive the
reneral committee of 640 workmen
in the east room of the White House.
In the meantime the committee of
manager-, here and the general com
mittee Oi th»' employes will meet to
discuss tentative plans now before
them.
In the meantime the President,
through Judge William L. Chambers,
of the federal Board of Mediation and
Conriliation, will keep in close touch
with the representatives of both sides.
No engagement has been made ior
ihe manager?' committee, but it .is
probable thai the President will see
them some time to-morrow.
Wants Eight-hour Day
The plan on which the President is
working is to put into effect the eight
hour day and have a federal commission
Investigate collateral issues. Details of
the plan have not been worked out, but
It was said to be possible to-day that if
ihe railroads conceded an eight-hour
day the employes will be urged to
Rive up their demand for time and a
half over time.
The proposed commission investiga
tiou would not have power to enforce
uny decision but would investigate all
of the questions involved in the con
troversy and make recommendations.
The halt In the negotiations has
been caused primarily by the fact that
the brotherhood leaders who have
been meeting with the President, have
no plenary powers and have to refer
all lmpoitant questions back to their
general committee in New Work.
Will Meet 610 Committeemen
President Wilson decided time
would be saved and better results
achieved if the 640 members of the
general committee were brought to
Washington and met him directly.
Therefore it was decided to hold a
general meeting at the White House
Thursday.
The committee of managers re
mained in session almost continuouslv
10-day discussing the conferences with
the President and the tentative sug
urewtior.s outlined. It was stated that
the negotiations are now in such form
that definite decisions may be made
by both sides before the end of the
week.
Administration officials would not
predict the outcome of the negotia
tions to-day becausn everything de
pends on the decisions of the mana
gers and the employes. It was stated
that for the present the situation was
at a deadlock but hope for a peace
ful settlement had not been aban
doned.
Crucial Staee To-morrow
Definite assurance that the threat
ener general railway strike would be
averted was not apparent this morn
ing, but it was reported that President
Wilson bad obtained from the man
agers a qualified concession of the
eight-hour day principle on which
further negotiations might be con
ducted. It was the third day of the
conferences and indications were that
the crucial stage would not be

This Is the Situation
-VII parties to the discussions
were reticent, but It was believed
Uic situation to-day was this:
The managers suggest Uiat they
establish the eight-hour basis
providing the railroad brother
hoods' demand for time and a half
pay for over time work and other
collateral issues be invesUgated
thoroughly by the Interstate Com
merce Commission or some other
body.
Employes indicate they have
heard Uiis proposal before and
decline to commit themselves un
til it is put ht definite form by the
railroads.
Arbitration of all Issues had
been rejected flatly.
Special efforts are being made
to ascertain the opinion of both
sides on the kind of a commission
which would inquire intothc col
lateral questions should tbc eight
hour day he conceded and this
plan accepted by the brother
hoods.
The managements refuse flatly
to agree to the eight-hour princi
pal without qualification.
Men Accept Invitation
New York Aug. 16.—The invitation
of the President to the 640 general
chairmen of the four rotherhoods of
raiload employes to meet him in
Washington to consider his proposals
for settlement of the threatened rail
road strike was accepted by the men
here to-day, and announcement made
that they would leave early this after
noon on special trains for the National
Capital.
The President's invitation was con
veyed to the men by W. S. Carter,
head of the firemen's brotherhood,
who addressed them at a fully at
tended meeting.
"No organization can afford to ig
nore an invitation from the President
United States." were the words
used, by the man who moved to ac
cept the invitation and the motion was
carried unanimously.
The engineers and conductors were
to leave over tho Baltimore and Ohio
soon after 1 o'clock and the firemen
and trainmen over the Pennsylvania
at about the samo time.
Mr. Carter said he had not been
authorized to disclose the nature of
the President's proposals to the men,
it having been understood that the
President himself should be the first
to lay his plan before them. It was
understood here that the meeting with
the President was to take place to

Czar Paves Way For
Swarm Into Hungary
by Taking Jablonitza
London, Aug. 15.—The Russian ad
vance in Gallcla is continuing at the
average rate of two or three miles a
day along the whole 100-mile front.
In the Sereth region and west of the
Upper Stripa Sakharoff is pressing
forward with greater rapidity than
before the Stripa line fell to the
Russians.
The offensive of Letchltsky. on both
sides of the Dniester, is developing
swiftly. It has extended now both to
the north and south. Mile by mile the
Zlota Lipa line is falling into Russian
hands and Von Bothmer's weakened
army, not yet free from the peril to
which it was exposed bv its long de
layed retirement from the Stripa, is
fighting desperately to stave off flank
and rear assaults and prevent the cap
ture of masses of troops.
Letchitsky's extreme left wing has
swung southward and struck a terrific
blow at the smaller part of Pflanzer's
army, cut off from the main group
by the Russian thrust at Stanislau and
Nadvorna. This swift movement swept
thfc Austrians out of the Jablonitza
Paps, for weeks the scene of desperate
fighting.
Jablonitza, the most important of
the southeast gateways to the Hun
garian plains, had never before fell
entirely Into the hands of the Czar's
troops. Several times cavalry detach
ments have penetrated into the moun
tains and cleared out the enemy's po
sitions. but counter attacks were in
evitably successful in driving them
out. The Russians are now in suffi
cient force in this region, it Is be
lieved, to hold the pass and begin a
drive in Maramarossziget, the first po
sition of importance on the railways
that pierces the mountain wall at
Jablonitza on Its way from Kolomea
to the heart of Hungary.
Two other towns fell to the Rus
sians in this section, and Pflanzer's
army was further weakened by the
capture of about 1,500 men.

30 DAY PAROLE

family of Sunbury, Pa. She is 42
years old and boards with her hus
band at the home of Mrs. William
Burns in New Cumberland.
On July 29 Mr. Keiner suggested
to his wife that she take a motor trip
with Mrs. Burns to see the latter's
niece in the Carlisle Hospital. She
left in an automobile, with a chauffeur
and Mrs. Burns.
Instead of going to the Carlisle Hos
pital, as Mrs. Keiner Imagined, the
auto drew up In front of the county
hospital for the insane, outside of
Carlisle. Mrs. Burns left the car and
went into the hospital.
"I have tha woman out here In the
automobile," she told Steward Frehn.
"The chauffeur will bring ner in."
Mrs. Keiner and the chauffeur fol
lowed her into the hospital. Then the
door slammed. Mrs. Burns and the
chauffeur left the building by another
way and drove away.
Says Woman Is Sane
Immediately Mrs. Keiner wrote a
note to her husband, asking for an
explanation. Doctor Ruch, the nurse
at the hospital. Steward Frehn, the
entire board of poor directors and all
the attendants have had her under
careful observation ever since.
After eighteen days, Doctor Ruch
has been convinced, he says, that the
woman is entirely sane, and he has
a discharge on his desk ready to hand
to the court to-morrow.
The commission which signed a re
port late in July declaring the woman
Insane was composed of Dr. W. W.
Leinbach, Dr. J. F. Good and J. H.
Wright, all of New Cumberland. Mrs.
Keiner says she never saw Doctor
Good, one of the members of the com
mission. ,
The commitment on file here shows
that the commission heard two wit
nesses, William Emery and Thomas
Oglethong. Their testimony is not
given in the commitment.
Mr. Kreiner, the husDand, was noti
fied at noon to-day of Judge Sadler's
action by Attorney G. H. Keif, of New
Cumberland, who, with Philip S.
Aioyer of Harrisburg, have been re
by Keiner as his counsel.
When asked if he had anything to say.
the husband said:
I have been advised by my at
torneys to make no statement at this
time, x acted under instructions of
my physicians and attorneys. A com
mission was appointed, and a report
made to the Cumberland county court.
My wife was sent to the institution at
Carlisle by an order of the court. If
she is sane, they wil certainly not
keep her there. Wtoat my future
course will be I cannot say. It Is a
private matter and should not have
any publicity, and I assure you I will
not say anything until I am told to
4 i ßo ' my w ' fe Is insane then I
will provide treatment for her and do
everything the law requires. If she is
liberated at the end of 30 days as a
sane woman, it will be up to the court
to say what I shall do."
Mrs. Burns, of New Cumberland,
who has been mentioned in the case
said, when seen:
. "I do not want my name published
in the newspapers. lam respected in
this community and do not wish to be
mixed up in anything like this. If
theer is any statement to make Mr.
Keiner will do the talking. I will not
say anything.
"Do you think Mrs. Keiner is in
sane?" was asked Mrs. Burns.
"Time will tell; you won't get me
to say anything about her now," was
the answer.
"Were you authorized to take Mrs.
Keiner to the Insane Hospital at Car
lisle." was another question asked
Mrs. Burns.
"I have nothing to tell you, I said,
and I will not talk about this case,"
she replied.
When asked how long Mrs. Keiner
was at her home. Mrs. Burns said:
"Mr. and Mrs. Keiner came here in
March and rented rooms. The wife
came from Philadelphia. Her home
is in Sunbury, I am told. I did not
pry into their private matters. They
paid me the rent for the room. It
was three weeks ago I went to Car
lisle with Mrs. Keiner. If you want to ,
know anything about that trip eee
Mr. Keiner. My conscience is clear
and I have nothing to worry about.
Time will tell whether I acted right,
and whether Mrs. Keiner been
treated unjustly. I can give you no
information regarding Mr. and Mrs
Keiner's troubles. He must tell you
everything."
