So if.you know of "Bill" Hughes or "Bill" Dawson, formerly of Uniontown, got. in touch with Chief Clerk Bayles. At Atlantic City. —Clarence Webber, clerk to the City Treasurer, has gone to Atlantic City with William Cun ningham for a brief vacation. Water Receipts Greater. —Water re ceipts during 1916 up to September 1 were $18,772.30 greater than during a similar period last year. The increase in the receipts is due, it is believed, to the fact that the lower water rates en couraged people to pay more promptly. Up to September 1, 1916, the receipts amounted to $130,989.28, while during the same period last year they amounted to $112,316.98. Must Pay Alimony.—The Dauphin County Court granted a rule for coun sel fees in the divorce proceeding of Wilson G. vs. Mary A. Stone. SENATE EXPECTED TO ACCEPT STRIKE BILL [Continued From First Page] must legislate for all, from the barns stormers to the genius who portrays the human passion." He pictured Congress legislating while the unions stand, stop watch in hand to see that the legislation is pass ed on time. Senators McCumber and Brandegee, Republicans, both opposed the pend ing bill. To Avert Future Trouble Senator Husting. of Wisconsin, in sisted that Congress should do some thing to avert the country's being confronted with the same crisis again as soon as the proposed investigating committee has made its report. Senator Sterling, of South Dakota, opposed the bill declaring that he would not submit to Congress being "dragooned." The pending legisla tion he characterized as "a piece of perfidious peace." Senator Weeks said the brotherhood men had put Congress in the position of "stand and deliver." He said he believed that a majority of the train men do not want a strike and that If it were called it would last but a few days. "If Congress accedes to this de mand," he added, "It Is an end tem porarily at least, to representative goevrnment." Senator Owen contended the con troversy was not the only railroad problem confronting the country and insisted that Congress would have to undertake further legislation. He fav ored the pending bill because it would avert the strike and afford Congress an opportunity to consider the railroad problems in the broader aspect. Senator Newl&nds offered an amend ment to make it a misdemeanor for any person to interfere with the op eration of trains, punishable by a fine not to xceed SIOO or imprisonment ont to xeceed six" months, or both. This, he said, followed exactly existing law relating to interference with trans portation of the malls. "Just as soon as the House bill, unamended, becomes a law," A. B. Garretson, spokesman for the brother he ods, reiterated to-day, "the strike order will be recalled." This was the first official statement showing that the House bill was wholly satisfactory to the brotherhoods. From other sources came persistent reports that an arrangement might be perfected whereby the strike could be called off officially before President Wilson actually affixes his signature to the bill. Any amendment to the House bill in the Senate would throw all the nego tiations In the indefinite stage, and with that in mind administration lead ers used every effort as the debate In the Senate progressed to Insure pass age of the House bill in its original form. Heads of the four brotherhoods, anticipating favorable action, had code messages to local union officials ready, revoking the order sent broad cast early this week for a strike start ing at 7a. m. Monday. If the bill is passed, it is believed they will not wait until it is signed by President Wilson, who was at Long Branch, N. J., to receive formal notification of his nomination. The Senate convened early to-day after a prolonged session last night, which ended in an agreement to vote at 6 p. m. this evening or before. De bate continued over the amendment to give the Interstate Commerce Com mission authority to determine wages of Interstate railway employe*!. Its opponents urged that Its adoption might render the bill un satisfactory to the. brotherhoods and that consequently the strike order would be allowed to stand. They con tended also that it was unnecessary as an emergency measure. The Adamson bill provides that be ginning January 1, 1917, the standard work day for employes on steam rail ways more than 100 miles long en gaged in interstate commerce, shall be eight hours; that a presidential com mission of three shall investigate con ditions under the eight-hour basis for a period of between six and nine months; that daily wages shall not be reduced below the present amount for a longer day during the investigation, and overtime pay shall be pro-rata. The bill was passed In the House by a vote of 239 to 56, and sent to the Senate where at the night session it was substituted for a similar measure prepared by the Interstate Commerce Committee. In both houses the meas ure was debated hotly. Modifications in Embargoes Relieve New York Situation New York, Sept. 2. Abnormal conditions in traffic and commerce due to the fear of a railroad strike stood stationary here to-day pending devel opments at Washington. Although the railroads promise that their freight embargoes will be lifted as soon as the danger of a strike is definitely ended only slight modifications have been made in the embargoes now in force. A threatened shortage of foodstuffs was materially relieved by the action of the New York Central and lifting its ban against the receipt of meats, fish and all dairy products. Food prices, after their sensational jump on Thursday and Friday, show ed more stability. This was account ed for partly by improvement in the prospects that there would be no strike and partly by the district neys threat to indict dealers.

FIRE DAMAGES GENERALSTORE Blaze in Chambers Street Early This Morning Being Investigated Fire, the origin of which has not been determined, almost destroyed the frame store and dwelling of Danyan Rakas, Chambers street, just above Second, early this morning. Certain circumstances surrounding the blaze are said to be of such a na ture that an investigation into the causes would be advisable and a de puty State fire marshal is now in the borough investigating. The alarm was turned in from tht> box at Third and Chambers street shortly after 1:15 o'clock when smoke and ames were discovered shooting through the walls of the building. The Baldwin, Citizen. West Side and Pax tang Hook and Ladder fire companies responded. Considerable difficulty was ex perienced in fighting the flames but the firemen succeeded in getting the blaze under control in a short time. While no estimate could be placed on the loss by the owner this morning, firemen say the damage will be over SI,OOO. O. E. B. Malehorn, chief of the local fire department, and William Morgan, a State fire marshal, com pleted their investigation late this afternoon and are of the belief that the blaze was of incendiary origin. It was discovered that the flames started in two places, in the store and in a room at the opposite end of the building, widely separated places. Rakas, the proprietor was not in town to-day.

"DON'T ATICE CREAM UNTIL TESTS ARE MAKE" [aStta JSJVI raoa i ponupiioj)] cu3«? any ice cream Is manufactured find found to be contaminated, the City Health Bureau, in special session lest night, gave the health officers authority to confiscate the product at once. At the meeting of the Health Bureau neyt Wednesday Dr. Raunlck will probably ask to have a plan submitted to Council asking that It pass an ordi nance requiring every person handling mill: that is used in the city to furnish a health certificate. That the present epidemic is due largely to infected Ice cream which has been sold in the city is the con dition reached by Dr. Raunlck. Rminick Criticises Manufacturers T>r. RaunicU, in speakincr of news paper advertisements of some of the manufacturers concerning the purity of their supply, declared that the statements wore not official and had not lieen authorized by the city depart ment. He declared that in some of the cream tests typhoid germs were <ound In large numbers and that he Is [AKRISBURG iSBSI TELEGRAPH sure that the disease Is spreading from this source. Other ice cream plants are under suspicion and will be inspected. Re ports published so far only include tests made until August 3U. All other tests will be issued in the September rc-port of ice cream, cream and milk tests. That the city is being made a dumping ground for impure, contami nated cream to be used in the manu facture of ice cream is the opinion of city health officials. Tests were made of ice cream manu factured by the Hershey Creamery Company, W. O. Cartwright, George Collins and Joe Spagnolli. The cream used was furnished by the Hershey Creamery Company. Cartwright's tests follow: First, 3,250,000 bacteria per cubic centimeter; colon bacilli (dis ease germs), too numerous to count; second, 4,000,000 bacteria and 30,000 colon per cubic centimeter; third, 1J3.000 bacteria and 20,000 colon per cubic centimeter. George Collins—First, 2,500,000 bac teria and colon bacilli too numerous and dense to count; second, 3,000,000 bacteria and no colon bacilli per cubic centimeter; third, 200,000 bacteria and 7,000 colon per cuL'c centimeter. Hershey Creamery Company—First, 3,000,000; second, 2,750,000; third, 4,000,000 bacteria per cubic centi meter; colon bacilli in each test too dense and numerous to count. Joe Spagnolli First, 10,600,000; second, 5,000,000; third, 6,000,000 bac teria. per cubic centimeter; colon too dense and numerous to count. The bacteria found in the samples of ico cream which were tested show the presence of dirt, due probably to unsanitary methods of handling the supply. The colon bacilli are the dan gerous germs. In taking samples of raw cream before it is frozen similar results were obtained, showing that the contami nation existed in many instances be fore the supply reached the city. Tests made of cream from Heberlig Cream ery. near Newville, and of supplies from the Farmers Creamery Company, near Newville, the Bridgewater Cream en', near Newville, and of supplies Wellsville Creameries, all showed the pres.ence of largo numbers of bacteria and colon bacilli. Later tests made by Dr. George R. Moffltt. city bacteriologist, showed that typhoid germs existed in many of the samples. Three new cases of typhoid fever were reported to-day. with several n:oro suspected victims. At the Har risburg Hospital eighteen cases are be ing treated and this number is ex pected to Increase. During the next week dally cream and ice cream tests of the entire city supply will be made and tabulated and the sources of in fected cream shut off to check the epi demic. After the plants that are now closed sterUi** all equipment and ob tain a pure supply of cream they may reopen, according to Dr. Raunick, who said that he did not want to drive any manufacturer out of business, but was determined to protect the health of the public. Many milk tests were made in Au gust and some of the samples taken showed that the supply was pure and passed the requirements. Following is a list of dealers whose milk contained colon bacilli which were found in tests, together with the amount in each cubic centimeter: E. F. Arney, 800; G. W. Attick, 800; C. P. Chapman, 200; .C. E. Cooper, 1,000; C. H. Erford, 2,000; C. N. Fif-her, 9,300; C. A. Hoak, 200 first. 1,900 second. 200 third; B. D. Holler 1.400; J. J. Keister. 1,400; J. S. Kra mer, 500 first and second; C. D. LeVan, 300; Pennsylvania Milk Products Com pany. 1,400; A. V. Beese, 2,000; H. A. Bitter & Son, 13,000; C. W. Smith 2,800. Samples from all other dealers, al though in some instances below the butler fat percentage requirement, contained no colon bacilli. A close watch of the whole city sup ply from all sources will be kept at least a week by city food inspectors and health officials, and last night the Health Bureau, In special session, acted on the issue and gave Dr. Raunick au thority to use everv means to check the spread of typhoid. Dr. C-. R. Philips, county medical Inspector, said this morning that manufacturers who advertised that their Ice cream passed the require ments despite the fact that some tests were far below standard could prob ably be prosecuted for misrepresenting facts. He declared that tests made of a simply of cream furnished by the Her shry Creamery Company were found to be Infected and were not satis factory, and that no manufacturer has the right to misrepresent facts to the public when the health of the people la at stake. NEW PRESERVE IS THESEVENTEENTH Game Commission Gets the Use of 3,000 Acres of Land in Potter County The seventeenth \W t " ' State game pre- S\\\ JJTifVy serve will be estab f lished by the State Game Commission jSfffi/MflwSxy within a few weeks I NaiwWWiatf of Potter county. r nlluKlt close to the places i where Potter ad joins McKean and Cameron, the State Forestry Commission having granted the Game authorities the use of the land.

Enthusiasm of Factory Workers Means Added Quality For Car Enthusiasm and co-operation of fac tory employes Is in a great measure responsible for the popularity ol the new Paige Fairfield according to E. L. Cowden, 108 Market street, local dis tributor for the Paige. "Among the many compliments ex tended us on the new Fairfield'' says Mr. Cowden, "none has been warmer or more emphatic than the comment on the beauty of the car, its general appearance, its grace of line and its excellence of finish and detail—par ticularly the latter. "In this connection, a very interest ing and significant discovery has been made. We find that never before has the factory had such enthusiastic co operation from the men In the factorv —the boys who build and finish and put the final touches to the car. It Is to the enthusiasm of these men that we attribute much of the success in turning out a car that is exception ally beautiful and well made. "When the factory workers believe in and are enthusiastic over the pro duct you are pretty sure to secure sev eral degrees of additional value in the product. "This is especially true In such fac tories as the Paige where the produc tion is not so huge but that each car is in a sense a handmade product When the product Is stamped out by machinery, machine like system and the time clock, no such expression of care and appreciation on the part of the individual workman is possible." POST OFFICE CLOSED On Ijabor Day the main Post Office and Hill and Maclay stations will be closed from 10 a. m to 12 p. m. All car riers will make their 7:15 a. m. de livery and collection, and the 5:40. 7:30 and 10:30 p. m. collections.

TEUTONS CHECK RUMANIAN DRIVE [Continued From First Page] Vienna announces the abandonment of Hc-rmannstadt, one of the most impor tant towns of Transylvania, fifteen miles from the border, and of a town north of Kronstadt. The Austrian communication indi cates that the new offensive of the Russians in Bukowina and eastern Galicia was inaugurated over a wide front. In one sector alone north of the Dniester river the Russians ad vanced along a line of fifteen miles. Most of their assaults failed, Vienna announces. It was in this fighting that th« Russians, according to yesterday's Petrograd communication, took more than 15,000 prisoners. The Bulgarians renewed their at tacks last night along the western end of the Macedonian front. The French war office asserts they were repulsed by the Serbians. Revolutionists Enrolling The part which Greece is to play in the Balkan campaign has not yet been cleared up, although the report that King Constantine had abdicated and that Greece would join the entente allies at once has not been borne out. An unofficial dispatch from Athens, filed yesterday, says King Constantine received Premier Zaimis on Thursday and that the premier then announced Greece would maintain her policy of friendly neutrality toward the entente powers while awaiting events. The newly formed Greek Committee of Na tional Defense has proclaimed a pro visional government at Macedonia and, it is reported, unofficially, that revo lutionary troops are being enrolled. The Germans attacked the French on the Somme front last night and re occupied trenches south of Estrees taken recently by the French. A small British gain near Delville wood is an nounced in London.

The appeal issued by this committee to the people and the army urges them to "drive the oppressor from Greek soil." The re cruiting of volunteers was urged and large meetings are being organized. Topular sentiment in Greece has bc-en profoundly stirred by the aban donment without combat of the. Greek forts in eastern Macedonia and has been raised to the highest pitch by Ru mania's entry into the war, says the dispatch.

MAXWELL SHOPS BREAK RECORD Automobile Company Turns Out 532 Cars For Shipment on Banner Day B. F. Barker, of the Miller Aut<» Co., local distributors for Maxwell cars received word that the Maxwell Motor Company, Inc., broke all its records for production, when 532 cars were turned out of its big Detroit plant on Sat urday, August 26th. While this is the biggest day the company ever exper ienced In the volume of its output of automobiles, it exceeded the day pre vious by only a slight margin. On Friday, August 25th, 501 automobiles were turned out of the Detroit factory. This is only an indication of the great volume of business that is being done by the Maxwell company. There has been an increase of lUO per cent in the daily output of the company. The average production at the Oakland avenue plant in Detroit is now 400 cars a day and has been for the last month. | A year ago the average was only 200 j cars a day. A great Increase in the demand for j Maxwell cars followed the generous I reduction in prices on the touring car and roadster that became effective [July Ist last and that the factories are I able to meet the demand is due to the ! fact that increased manufacturing facilities have recently been installed. ) All Maxwell cars are assembled in I the plant at Detroit, while most of the J parts are manufactured in the com ( pany's factories at Dayton. Ohio, and I Newcastle. Indiana. The factories at I Dayton and Newcastle are now sup | plying the Detroit plant with 400 com j plete units every day. I The recent addition of a new pro- J gressive assembly track and a new body assembly track has enabled the Detroit factory to turn out cars at an increased speed. There are now two progressive assembly tracks and two body tracks, where before there was only one of each. About 120,000 cars will be turned out of the Maxwell factories this year. | Approximately 60,000 cars were manu , factured last year and the Increased production is ample evidence of the growing popularity of the Maxwell pro duct. Most of the cars turned out In the two banner production days were tour ing cars and roadsters, although a num ber of the enclosed types put out by the Maxwell was Included In the allot ment.
