Dr. J. George Becht
Addresses Rotarians
Dr. J. George Becht, executive sec
retary of the State Board of Educa
tion, spoke before the Rotary club at
Its noonday luncheon at the Colum
bus hotel on the "need of a New
Type of Education," defined this type
as an application of public educa

FREIGHT CARS SCARCE
Scarcity of freight cars is once more
becoming a serious problem and the
interstate Commerce Commission has
been asked to do what it can to relieve
the situation. In Western Pennsylva
nia the shortage in coal cars runs from
25 to 35 per cent. In the Middle West
there is a shortage of cars to move
grain and Eastern roads have been
asked to return the grain cars of Illi
nois roads. All consignees are asked
to unload cars promptly.
Snfety First Blk Success
How the "safety first" movement,
■which Is being waged so earnestly by
the railroads of the country, is bearing
fruit is shown in a safety bulletin, com
piled by the Norfolk & Western. In the
year 1915, 36 employes were killed on
duty, as against 36 in 1914; 47 in 1913,
and 61 in 1912. The number perma
nently Injured was 29 in 1915; 35 In
1914; 54 in 1913, and 35 in 1912. To put
it in a different way, 15 employes were
Killed in 1915 for each ten million loco
motive miles run, while 24 were killed
In 1912 for each ten million locomotive
miles run.

Step in Elimination of Old
Canal Nuisance
At a special meeting of Steelton'a
borough council this evening the final
steps In the plan to eliminate the old
Pennsylvania canal nuisance will be
taken when bids will be opened for
construction of a comprehensive sys
tem of storm sewers to drain the en

Council at its last regular meeting
passed finally the ordinance granting
the Pennsylvania Railroad company
the right of way to build Its proposed
new freight spur of flvo tracks into
the plant of the Bethlehem Steel com
pany along the bank of this old
stream.
This right was granted with the
stipulation that the railroad and the
Bethlehem Steel company shall each
pay one-third the cost of the proposed

does not cost more than $75,000.
At the meeting this evening it will

FIRES ARE CAUSED
BY ZEPPELIN RAID
[Continued From First Page]
to result, these remaining
. a time.
n .Jpiously, before crossing? the
British coast, tl)o uirshlps were fired
" p °" b3 : t vessels and during the
cttta.oK itsell wero under an extraor
dinarily heavy fire of Incendiary shells
from numerous batteries In well
directed volleys. Two of the airships
fell victims to antiaircraft guns at
London. All the others returned un
damaged."
London, Sept. 25.—Regarding the
German official report on the Zeppelin
raid the official press bureau to-day
states:
"In addition to the fact that no anti
aircraft defenses or places of military
importance were damaged, this ac
count is full of the usual mis-state
ments."
London, Sept. 25.—0f the twelve big
Zeppelins which invaded the British
Islep last night to deal death and de
struction from the skies, two to-day
lay stark and black masses of steel and
aluminum In the little village of Man
gold. Essex county. They fell victims
of the antiaircraft defenses of London
and outlying districts.
One came down a flaming torch, as
did the Zeppelin L-21, destroyed three
weeks ago, while the second, disabled
bv gunfire, affected a landing, which
saved the lives of the crew, who to
night are prisoners in England. The
crew of the first raider died in the con
suming flames of their own ship.
This latest raider to light her own
funeral way on English soil collapsed
and was consumed more quickly than
the L-21. It is possible, though, that
some of the men were still living when
the great vessel struck the ground.
The captain's body was found some
distance from the wreck.
Thousands See Zeppelin Fall
The burning of the first Zeppelin
wan witnessed by tens of thousands of
London's residents, but the burning of
the second raider was a matter of
doubt until to-day's official statements
were Riven out. Few details were
available, but it is reliably reported
that the crew surrendered to special
constables.
Many who saw the shrapnel burst
ing like skyrockets about the invader
which subsequently caught fire, think
there must have been several direct
hits. Many aeroplanes were aloft and
attacked the Zeppelin from all sides.
The raiders took a heavy toll of lives
before tbeir destruction, twenty-eight
persons being killed and ninety-nine
wounded in the metropolitan district
of London. Two persons, perhaps,
four, wcro killed, and seventeen were
wounded in the provinces. More than
half the dead are women and children
The property damage, while widely
distributed, is confined, for the most
part, to small suburban dwellings and
shops, although one railwav station
was damaged, some empty cars being
destroyed and part of the tracks
torn up.
The roar of dropping bombs was
heard In many districts where the
raiders were Invisible. It Is not be
lieved that more thc.n two or three
invading Zeppelins which crossed the
east coast succeeded In reaching the
environs of London, and that of these
two paid the death penalty gives the
greatest satisfaction to the military
authorities. Apart from the loss in
material, the casualties of the last
two raids. It Is believed, will have a
depressing effect on the morale of the
ZcnpeHn crews ln the future.
Londoners were jubilant to-day, but
I here was not the same exultant en
thusiasm as three weeks ago. Indi
cating that the destruction of giant
sky raiders is already taken as an ordi
nary incident in this unusual world
war.
The fact P the airsh'ps were
brought down well outside of London,
both last night and September 3. shows
the care with which the defenses have
been developed. The efficiency In deal
ing with the raiders was further evi
denced In th speed with which the
pearchlight picked up the first raider
that appeared above the suburbs about
midnight.
Suddenly a searchlight beam shot
Into thr starlit sky. Three more daz
zling shafts followed, and within fifteen
seconds the whirling airships were out
lined and the puns heeran sending up
ph-leklng shrapnel shells.
For a minute or 1 two the raider kept
Its course, then wavered, turned partly
nwav and suddenly dissolved, appar
ently. Fvldentlv, the Zeppe'in was
shrouded in smoke, and the lights lost
her completely.
In the meantime, however, bonihs
were dropped and red flames were vis
ible as they lit the earth. Then the

biles crashed together on the Middle

G64 South Third street, sustained a
cracked rib. Ho was treated at the
Harrisburg hospital. Three compan
ions escaped injury.
city was quiet for an hour, the search
lights (lashing only occasionally In the
hunt for raiders.
All London within sound of the guns
and bombs was out to see the spec
tacle, and almost despaired of further
excitement when, well to the eastward,
a tiny glow appeared low in the sky.
It looked first like the moon rising red
In its lest quarter from behind a
"'■"w'hnnlr. From the city it appeared
to hang stationary for a minute, slowly
thn perpendicular and
streaked into the gloom of the night
ground mist.
To the. watchers in Essex, however,
the spectacle of the flaming falling
Zeppelins had all he thrills of excite
ment which marked the end of the
L-21 and they cheered the gunners
and their fortunate shots that brought
the raiders to earth.
Attack Wns Exported
London expected the attack of last
night, the Germans evidently having
5 elected Saturday for the greatest ef
forts. But a bright moon deterred any
attempt since three weeks ago, when
thirteen raiders came over the sea.
The change from the so-called unlucky
thirteen to twelve last night brought,
however, worse rather than better for
tune to the flying squadron.
Ope of the burning Zeppelins, in
falling, crashed through a row of trees
In Essex, two of which pierced the
lattice work of the envelope supports.
The village Are engine wns quickly on
the scene and began putting water, on
the blazing wreck. Police, constapKs
and volunteers removed thetwenty-two
bodies as rapidly as possible. . .
Some of these were charred beyond
recognition, while others were still
white and recognizable. All appeared
to be young men, well clad and wear
ing the remnants of stout leather coats !
and shoos of rather poor quality, which
is taken here to indicate that good
footwear in not plentiful in Germany.
To-day thousands of persons Jour
neyed to Essex to view the wrecks, but
quick precautions prevented souvenir
hunters from making away with every
thing detachable. There were manv
sightseers also viewing the damaged
outskirts of the city.
From the number of bombs dropped,
both explosive and incendiary, the au
thorities wonder why the casualties
were not greater. The Zeppelins
seemed abundantly supplied with am
munition.
Householders along the thorough
fares. who heard the bomb explosions
growing louder and louder as the raid
ers came with the speed of an express
train, took their baptism of fire calmly
as the aircraft passed.

HUGHES OPENS
OHIO CAMPAIGN
[Continued From First Pago]
coast. His first speech wu scheduled
at Omaha, Tuesday evening.
Great Demon*trotton
The welcome extended to Mr. Hughes
Saturday night at Indianapolis wan one
of the biggest political demonstrations
the State has staged. Traffic around
the railroad station was held up by a
crowd estimated at 25,000. A dozen
brass bands tore the atmosphere Into
shreds andi 10,000 marchers were ready
to_escore the nominee through crowd
ed streets made brilliant by red flre,
rockets and gay banners.
For tha first time in the campaign
Mr. Hughes appeared on the platform
with the vice-presidential nominee,
Charles W. Fairbanks. Mr. Fairbanks
and his daughter, Mrs. J. W. Tlmmons,
were at the station to greet Mr. and
Mrs. Hughes and take them by auto
mobile to Tomllnson Hall, where Mr.
Hughes spoke to 6,000 persons. Mr.
Hughes and Mr. Fairbanks also ap
peared at overflow meetings.
While the meetings were in prog
ress the parade continued to wind its
way through the streets, and it was
late In the night before the excitement
had quieted down. '
In his address at Tomllnson Hall Mr.
Hughes followed up his attack upon
the Administration's Mexican policy in
"waging war on Huerta," and made a
general assault upon the policies of
the Wilson Administration, which he
again characterized as "an Administra
tion of broken promises." He empha
sized also the Adamson law Issue and
Americanism. In regard to the latter
Issue he said:
"I want a splendid patriotic sentl- I
ment In this country. America can pro
vide work. America can never be suc
cessful and prosper if we d:o not have
a splendid patriotic Sentiment. We are
all Americans whatever race, whatever
creed, wherever we come from, whether
foreign born or born here, we are ail
Americans.
"American means your attitude to
ward things, not where you were born,
or what is your race. It is a word of
spirit, ' is not a word of flesh, and I
stand here to say that if we are going
to have America of the future realize
these great ideals I have been talk
ing about, we have got to enforce
American rights throughout the world
and dignify ourselves."
It is the opinion among the leaders
here that the stand taken by Mr.
Hughes on the passage of the Adam
son eight-hour law will have a great
influence upon the campaign. The ma
jority of the Republicans feel that by
its passage Mr. Wilson drove a nail in
to his "political coffin."
These leaders axe of the opinion that
It will be the deciding factor in the
Indiana election as well as in Mis
souri, and that Mr. Hughes will win.
Raymond Robbins, former Democrat
and Progressive, who has been helping
Mr. Hughes here by campaign speeches
said that he had been a bit skeptical
about the result In Missouri until Pres
ident Wilson advocated the passage of
what he termed "forced legislation."
He had campaigned In Missouri since
the law was passed, he said, and found
that there had) been a great growth in
the strength of Mr. Hughes. He found
the same feeling among the voters of
Indiana.
Resentment was strong among the
farmers particularly, Mr. Robins said,
and In that he was backed up by other
campaigners and workers of one kind
and another. Tho farmers, he said,
were beginning to be convinced that
they would be called upon to stand the
brunt of an increase in rates, which they
felt would be granted to meet the in
crease In the railroad employes' pay.

followed in the wake of Charles E.
Hughes during the past record-mak
ing week of campaigning exultantly
predicted that he has turned the tide
of votes towards Republican, shores in
Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana and
has insured his election in November.
Mr. Hughes himself, though chary of
utterance, is plainly more than de
lighted and a little astonished at the
boisterous welcomes he has received
in the thirty-four cities and towns in
which he has spoken since last Tues
! day.
It was a gruelling series of busy
days through which the Republican
| nominee passed, and their effects were
j plainly evident in his weary manner
I and husky voice, as he rested at the
home of Charles W. Fairbanks, his
running mate on the National ticket.
But he is Inspired by the Increased
interest which is greeting the second
phase of his campaign and is prepar
jed to continue his assault on the
i Democratic administration with un
abated vigor, although the assaults
will not be delivered in such pro
fusion as they were last week.
Organization and l'orsonulit.v
Two factors contributed to making
Mr. Hughes' campaign in the Middle
West a success, which exceeded even
the hopes of himself or of the State
and National Republican aids who
arranged it. They were organization
and Mr. Hughes himself. In distinct
contradiction to the poorly arranged
facilities against which he had to cope
in the West, Mr. Hughes found good
j management in bringing out the
crowds, bringing out the enthusiasm
| and providing all the accessories
which make the political gathering an
affair of excitement and color.
Mr. Hughes mot these demonstra
tions with vigorous addresses which
indicated clearly a wider grasp of the
issues he is discussing and arrange
ment of thoughts and subjects which
improved steadily day after day.
Despite his fatigue, only the in
spiration of the throngs and his own
strong will gave him the strength to
complete the program which was ar
ranged for him in Indiana. And this
I victory over himself, A. T. Hert, the
: western manager of the Republican
J i National Commission, and Will H.
j | Hays, chairman of the Indiana State
. ! Republican Committee, declared in
s public statements, has swung the
, balance toward victory in this State
[• I of political variance.
'• I Triuiiipluil Procession
Mr. Hayes styles the Republican
nominee's progress through the State
as a "triumphal procession" and is
certain that he has solidified waver
ing sentiment moving in towards Re
publicanism.
"Indiana voters, regardless of the
party, trust him," he said. "Indiana
will register a Republican majority
in November that will forever set at
rest the assertions that we are a
"doubtful" State. Indian* is for
Hughes."

Porter Says Passage of
Adamson Bill Will Not
Win Penna. For Wilson
Returning yesterday from a tour
of up-State counties George D. Por
ter, secretary of the Hughes Alliance
in Pennsylvania, took issue with A.
Mitchell Palmer, who claims that the
passage of the Adamson bill will win
Pennsylvania for President Wilson.
"In my three days' travel through
Schuylkill, Northumberland and
Berks Counties, particularly in the
first two counties, said Mr. Porter, "I
had an opportunity to talk with labor
leaders and learn their real attitude
in regard to the Adamson bill. If Mr.
Palmer and his colleagues are count
ing on Democratic votes in Pennsyl
vania from the labor element simply
on account of the Adamson bill, then
their hopes are built upon fickle sands.
Everywhere, in conversation with
mine workers, labor leaders and
union officials, I found them of the
opinion that President Wilson had
surrendered to the demands of a few
in the hope of winning the votes of
the navy.
"These labor men seemed to take
the attitude that their cause had been
harmed rather than helped by the ac
tion of the President."
EDWIN O. LEWIS NAMES
HUGHES AS HIS CHOICE
Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 25. Ed
win O. Lewis, former Assistant City
Solicitor and independent Democrat,
who recently declared he would not
support President Wilson for re-elec
tion, last night gave his reason for
his renunciation of the Democratic
candidate. The statement was issued
by the Hughes Alliance, and among
other things, says:
"Former Governor Hughes appeals
to me as a man who will meet this
country's needs during the coming
four years better than any other man
now in the public eye. His virile
courage as Governor of New York
furnishes evidence, which is far surer
than promise or mere hope, that he
has the qualities which national policv
will inevitably demand of the next
President. I will support him and his
party. In local politics I will con
tinue to participate as an independ
ent.
"X am not for former Governor
Hushes because of what President
Wilson has done or has failed to do
in the past. Th'.s seems a wrong
method of determining political ac
tion. We are concerned more with
the future than with the past. Tt is
the years between 1917 and 1321 that
are now to be principally considered,
and the prospect of former Governor
Hughes being President during this
critical period appeals to me forcibly."

Eight-Hour Law in First
Talk in Porch Campaign
Long Branch. N. J., Sept. 25.—Presi
dent Wilson, speaking from the piazza
of Shadow Lawn, the summer Capitol,
to big and little businessmen of New
Jersey, late Saturday afternoon, vi
gorously defended the Adamson eight
hour act and then Indicated a program
of legislation whirh, he said, he hoped
would lessen hostility between capital
and labor, or which, at least, would
render unlikely such industrial un
rest as was created by the railroad
controversy.
The President declared that at no
time during the conferences between
the brotherhoods and the railroad
managers did he consider the question
of the principle of the eight-hour day
as arbitrable. He asserted he had so
Informed the brotherhoods and man
agers and that he considered arbitration
only as an alternative of war. He
adopted this view, he said, because he
considered there should bo no hos
tility between men of a common in

State led In the applause which fol

Republican criticism that the Adamson

act was a "surrender to force."
"Labor is not a commodity," the
President declared, leaning forward
over the porch railing at Shadow Lawn
and pounding it for emphasis, "it is a
form of co-operation. If I can make
a man believe in me, know that I am
just, X can get ten times as much out
of him than if he were an antagonist.
If he is a mere tool of his employer
he Is only as serviceable as a tool. Hu
man relationships are governed by the
heart, and if the heart •is not in it,
nothing is in it."
The nation is never going to say to
an individual, the President declared,
that he must work, whether he was
willing or not, but it did have the
right to say to an organization of per
sons, "You must not interrupt the
1 national life without consulting us."
In many quarters this was taken as
a prediction by the President of the
adoption of the Canadian scheme of
compulsory investigation.
Small Crowd Hears Him
Between 1,500 and 2,000 persons
gathered at Shadow Lawn to hear the
President's words. His speech waa
mainly extemporaneous and was de
livered to the Wilson League of Busi
nessmen, who made up only a smalt
fraction of the audience. The rest
consisted for the most part of summer
residents, among whom women pre
dominated.

Among the most Interesting of the
