un.iuft and unreasonable proposed in
creases in rates on bituminous coal
from mines in the Hawk Run district
to Bald Eagle Junction, destined for
movement on that point via the Penn
sylvania railroad, effective September
20. R.'R. Todd, South and Pitt streets,
Carlisle, brought complaint against the
Carlisle Gas and Water Company on
the grounds that the said company
threatens to discontinue his water
service on August 30, U>-morrow, un
less the complainant shall install two
meters or pay a flat rate on that por
tion of his property not now metered.
The company has granted the request

until the case has been decided.
Mine Question Decided. Replying
to a question raised by James E. Rod
erick. State Chief of Mines, the Attor
ney General's department in an opinion

net of June 9. 1911, requiring that in
bituminous mines where coal is blasted
from the solid, all holes must be fired
when the workmen are out of the

Mr. Roderick asked whether the law
was limited to mines or portions

companies.

COMPLETE PLANS
FOR ROMPER DAY
Supervisor Irwin Announces
Final Arrangements For
Playgrounds Closing
I List minute arrangements for the
I big romper day exercises to-morrow,
which will mark the close of Steel
ton's first playgrounds season, were
completed this morning by Supervisor
James R. Irwin and the various
supervisors.
On the various playgrounds the
youthful athletes were busy practicing
for the events in which they will com
pete to-morrow. About 1,000 boys and
girls from the various playgrounds are
expected to be on hand to participate
in and to see the various events.
Romper Day in the borough marks
the close of the season's activities on
the various playgrounds which were
opened June 19, under the auspices
of the Steelton Parks and Playgrounds
Commission, then but recently ap
pointed.
From the very start the playgrounds
movement was a sucess here. The
first month's attendance figures ran
into the thousands and interest con
tinued until the present time.
Activities to-morrow morning will
be devoted to competitive games and
the playing off of some of the cham
pionships, while the afternoon exer
cises lean more towards the display
ing of individual ability.
There will be massed formations,
pyramid building, drills for the girls
and other events of interest. Cham
pionship ribbons will be awarded
every member of each winning team
and a large banner will be awarded
the playground winning the most
championships.
C. S. Davis, chairman of the Parks
and Playgrounds Commission, will
award the various prizes. Mr. Davis
will also be honorary referee. Super
visor Irwin will act as referee and will
be assisted by Charles Chambers, Dr.
James E. T. Oxley and Coach Cham
bers as finish judges and James Mc-
Govern as starter.
TCCKEY FUNERAL
Funeral services for Jacob Tuckey,
a former resident and veteran of the
Civil War were held at the home of
his son, near Enola, at 10:30 o'clock
this morning. Burial was made in the
East Harrisburg cemetery.
LAST SLABS ON
DAM BY FRIDAY
[Continued From First Page]
For more mart a week the rlvermen
headed by Lewis Gibbons, foreman,
have been busily setting the slabs in
place. Working with him are Elmer
Beck, James J. McGoman. Elmer Fox
George Wetzel, Harry Glass and Ed.
Primrose. The job has been anything
but easy as most of the blocks —pre-
pared in seven to 10-foot lengths be
fore last winter set in—had been piled
in the deep water below the parapet of
the dam. Ninety or more of them had
to be lifted from the river bed by a
derrick, mounted on a flat and swung
into place, which doesn't sound at
all difficult, the rlvermen declare—
until you try to work in a swift stream
on the very edge of the breast of the
dam over the roaring maelstrom of
heaving waters below.
How fierce is the rush of water and
how quietly but steadily the dam
"pulls" was illustrated the other day,
the rlvermen say, by William Beard
of Dock street. In the whole First
ward, the rivermen will tell you, there
is no truer "water-dog" than "Bill"
Beard. But "Bill" tried to balance
himself too long on the edge of the
dam when the swirling waters swung
him into the racing sluice, drew him
under, threshed his body about on
the rocks and then pushed him half
unconscious to the surface where
chums rescued him.
The filling in of the gap on the dam
is having a perceptible effect on the
height of the stream,the workmen say;
thus far there is a noticeable increase
of at least four inches. And this,
swimming experts say, is just enough
to permit easy swimming at the pres
ent stage of the river in the courses
laid out for the Kipona events.
THREE CREAMERIES UNDER
MILK SHIPPING BAN
Three creamery managers were
given orders yesterday by City Health
Officer J. M. J. Raunick, prohibiting
them from shipping.milk or cream into
the city because of dirty and unsani
tary conditions existing on the prem
ises. One new case of typhoid fever
was reported to-day and Dr. Raunick
said that although he could not state
positively, he is almost positive that
infected ice cream caused the spread
of the disease.
Two probable cases were admitted
to the Harrisburg hospital to-day. The
victims are Albert White, aged 19, col
ored, 74 Locust Row, Steelton, anil
Louis Charles, 304 Harris street, an
employe in a downtown restaurant.

would have to come from Philadel
phia.
While the local officials are still
silent on preparedness plans, all sorts
of rumors are afloat regarding orders
that will come with the announcement
that the strike is on. It is said, that
every man employed by the Pennsyl
vania Railroad in Harrisburg and vi
cinity will be governed by sealed
orders, to be sent to the heads of the
various departments by Saturday. That
there will be no Saturday shut down
until further orders, even the clerks in
the various offices to remain on duty
over Sunday.
The employes will not discuss the
strike situation. Some who do not
figure in the wage controversy, includ
ing signal men, shopmen and round
house employes, are of the opinion
that there will be no strike. Every
body appears to be waiting for in
structions from the men higher up.
An Altoona dispatch says:
Preparations for the strike of the
brotherhood men have virtually been
completed by the Pennsylvania Rail
road. Every available space in the big
shops here has been equipped to feed
and lodge the men who will be em
ployed as strikebreakers and the shop
men who will be needed as guards.
Truckload after truckload of
grpcerles, dishes, stoves, beds, bedding,
cots, etc., have been delivered at the
shops by local dealers. Even second
hand stores were stripped of such
goods as the company required.
"Let them strike; we are ready with
a capital R," declared Noel W. Smith,
superintendent of the Middle Division.
In the event of a break between the
brotherhoods and railroads the Penn
sylvania Railroad shopmen will re
main on the company's property, in
compliance with a paper signpd last
week by more than ten thousand of
them, agreeing to work for the com
pany and protect company property.
It is to accommodate these men that
the officials have converted certain
portions of the shops into dining rooms
and sleeping quarters.

ZEIL FUNERAL TO BE
HELD ON THURSDAY

will be made in Mount Calvary Ceme
te*y. A detail of police will also at
tepd the funeral to represent the de
partment.
In honor of the executive, orders
were issued this morning at headquar
ters that the members of the police
force shall wear a small black bow of
ribbon over their badges.as a token of
respect. Resolutions of regret will
probably be passed late to-day by the
officers.
This is the second death of a mem
ber of the department since the pres
ent administration began. Several
months ago Patrolman Lewis C. Hippie
was murdered while on duty.
Died Under Knife
The polica executive died at 10:20
o'clock last night at the hospital while
undergoing an operation for acute in
testinal obstruction, which had de
veloped from peritonitis. His death
occurred just 14 hours after he was
admitted. He was stricken Sunday,
but even then the seriousness of his
condition was not generally known.
Expressions of regret were heard
all over the city to-day at the sud
den death. Those present when the
chief died were Drs. G. L. Laverty,
George B. Kunkel, Park A. Deckard
and Mayor Meals.
The chief had refused to undergo
an operation when first brought to the
hospital, and almost to the last re
quested Mayor Meals to keep him
from the knife, but surgeons declared
it was his only chance to live.
Serving Second Term
The official was serving his second
term as police chief, both of which
were under Mayor Meals. In 1908 he
was appointed to the lieutenancy and
served about a year and a half. When
Thomas G. George resigned as chief
of police, Zeil was appointed as his
successor. He was appointed by Coun
cil for the second time when Mayor
Meals went into office at the beginning
of the year.
His ability to handle traffic prob
lems was one of the features of both
terms. When the new system now in
use in the city was being decided upon
Chief Zeil was one of the big factors
with the Mayor and Captain of Police
J. P. Thompson, in overcoming the
difficulties in handling street traffic
efficiently.
Insisted oil Traffic Rules
He served on the traffitf commit
tee of the International Association of
Police Chiefs, which convened in Wll
liamsport this Spring. During his
term in office he advocated a number
of changes in traffic systems, and in
sisted that his officers enforce all
traffic ordinances.
His method of dealing with drunks
who were not disorderly in the streets
was a unique one. He established the
plan of "safe keeping," which meant
that the individual was either permit
ted to sober up or taken to his home.
He remembered faces and names well,
and usually could recall whether any
one under arrest had ever been
brought in before for an offense, while
he was in office.
J. Thomas Zeil was born December
28, 1859, in the house where his father
conducted a tailor shop opposite the
Bolton House in Second street. Ho
was educated in the public schools and
when 20 years old started in the
haberdashery business with his broUier
Herman, at 228 Market street. In 1889
he sold out and became a salesman for
the Capital City Cigar Company and
later for a York cigar company. He
served on the police force from 1908
until the expiration, of Mayor Meals'
term of office, then entering the em
ployment of John G. Wall, Sixth and
Cumberland streets. In January he
again assumed charge at police head
quarters and remained in active duty
until Saturday.
Windsor Now in Charge
Survivors are his wife, Mrs. Mary
E. Zeil; a son, William F. Zeil, and
a daughter, Mary, and one grand
child, William, Jr.
Within half an hour of his death,
members of the day police force began
telephoning for information while
many others called at headquarters.
More than a score of his friends had
gathered at midnight and discussed
the sudden death of the executive and
his many acts of kindness while in
office. Superintendent of Detectives
William Windsor, Jr.. will become act
ing chief of police until a successor'
is named.
