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.

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.

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."

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.
Makes Appeal to Drive
Oppressor From Greece
By Associated Press
Paris, Sept. 2.—The Committee of
National Defense organized in Mace
donia is composed of Lieutenant-
Colonel Zimbrakakis, Lieutenant-
Colonel Mexarakes and M. Argyro
paulea, the latter formerly prefect of
Salonikl, says a Havas dispatch from
Saloniki dated yesterday. 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

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.
