NEW RECORD FOR CAR SHORTAGE Railway Gazette Presents Facts and Figures; Box, Coal and Gondola Equipment Scarce "The Hallway Age Gazette In an edl- j torial In its current Issue publishes I statistics showing that the shortage of i freight cars on the first of October of I this year was the greatest that ever j existed on that date, but it finds that | the peculiar conditions existing this year warrant an optimistic view of the situation. The net shortage as re ported for September 30 is 61,030 cars, distributed about proportionately to their numbers among all classes. The Gazette says: "A feature which differentiates the present shortage from those that have occurred in previous years is brought out l>y a comparison of the present shortage by classes of cars with the shortage of 1907. Box Cars Scarce On October 2, 1907, there was a net shortage of 58,276 cars; 43,136 of the total were box cars. In 1916 the total net shortage of 61,030 cars includes only 33,016 box cars. The other prin cipal component of th total is a net shortage of 19,872 coal cars and gon dolas. "The relatively large number of coal ears and gondolas which help to make up the net shortage in 1916, and the relatively small proportion of box cars, point out at once what is perhaps the principal cause of a shortage this year. Coal cars and gondolas have been the classes of cars principally employed in the transpor tation of coal and ore to the large manufacturing plants." ENGINEER NOT GUILTY Westerly, R. 1., Oct. 21. A ver dict of not guilty of manslaughter was returned by a jury here early to day in the trial of Charles H.

WALLING There are many voters who fell that in a national election the only safe way to market the ticket is by a single cross in the party column, and that any other mark may invalidate the ticket. This was so before the nonpartisan judiciary law went into effect, but since that law has been passed the voter who fails to mark his ballot for a judge fails to evercise his full right as a citizen. This year there is to be elected a justice of the Supreme Court, who will serve for the next twenty-one years. There are two candidates for the office. Their names appear on the ballot in a separate column, and can easily be found by the voter. The fact that one name appears before the other means nothing, because the arrangement is merely alphabetic. The second name appearing as a candidate for this office is that of Judge Emory A. Walling, who is filling that office since the tirst day of January, 1916, by appoint ment. For nineteen years he was President Judge of the Courts of Erie county, being re-elected in 1906 as the unanimous choice of all of the parties. Judge Walling resigned his posi tion in Erie, where he would have been assured of being able to hold it so long as he lived, to accept this appointment. His record as a judge in the county and as a justice of the Supreme Court is of a very high character. His candidacy has been endorsed by practically all of the members of the bar of Harrisburg, who have signed a petition in his favor and will organ ize next week in his interests. BUILD TWO BUNGALOWS Permits for the erection of two more modern new bungalows were is sued yesterday afternoon by the city building inspector's department to W. W. Whittenmyer.

Like the famous old boom towns of Mon tana and other States in the West that-has-passed, Mount Union owes its prosperity to the ground upon which it is built. As soon as you leave the station, perched high above the main business street, and enter the town you feel the atmosphere of prosperity. The town Is fairly bursting with it. Automobiles are rushing back and forth through the streets which are as congested as those of the larger cities. Everywhere new buildings are being erected. Big brick structures with steel frames that look as tnough they are going up for prtmanency and frame buildings for mere temporary use are going up on every block. Every hotel is packed. One can scarcely obtain a room. Stores are doing business that the proporletors would never have dreamed of a few years ago. The banks are growing by leaps and bounds and all business has been speeded up to an almost un dreamed of activity. The population has grown rapidly from 3,338 in 1910 to more than 6,500 at the present time. So congested have become the schools that a new sbo,ooo high school is being rushed to completion to relieve the situation and sessions are temporarily being held twice each day In order to permit all students to attend. A new municipal building, a hand some brick structure housing the Are department and borough offices, has just been completed. A number of streetajare being paved and a new and adequate sewer system is being es tablished. Back on the hills behind the town you may find the secr of all this prosperity. In the rock which makes up these hills is the mineral from which the best grade ©*• silica brick in the world is made. These bricks are used in nntng blast furnaces an dother heating ovens In big steel plants and when the Eu ropean war broke out a huge demand almost instantly sprang up for all kind of iron and steel products and the necessary materials to be used in their making. Here at Mount Union is located the enormous plant of the Harbison-Wal ker Refractories Co.. said to be the largest plant of its kind in the world. In plants 1 and 2 here more than a thousand men are employed and huge shipmeVits are made dally. M. D. Carr is the hustling superintendent and guiding force that keeps things humming. Another concern that is making Mount Union grow is th* new Mount Union Refractories Co., plant in which R. P. M. Davis, a Harrisburg man, is the leading fipture. This big con cern, of which Mr. Davis is president and general manaper has a capacity of 80,000 bricks every day and emproys about 500 men. The rocks for this plant are quarried at Three Springs and Jacks Mountain and the supply is said to be Inexhaustible. F. D. Hal stead is secretary and treasurer of the company and C. V. Hackman l<s superintendent of the local plant. At Kistler, just on the edge of Mount Union Mr. Davis and his associates are building an entire new model village for their workmen. The new town consists of all single dwellings and presents a pretty sight from the train windows as you enter or leave Mount Union. The Pennsylvania Railroad Wooct Preserving Plant contributes its share of prosperity to the town. About thirty-five men are employed here regularly coating ties and poles for the company to lengthen their life. The Mount .Union Tanning and Ex tract Company operates a large tan ning plant and manufactures a tan ning solution. With the big war de mand for leather the plant is more than rushed. It employs *0 men. With the rapid growth of the town there have naturally been a number of important municipal problems to solve. One of these is trie Handling of the usual hangers-on in a boom town. Drunken men and scarlet wo men have little chance in this town. A. S. Welch, the live-wire burgess. Is very much on the job and is making a record for himself and the town. Aside from the commercial build ings and dwellings that are going up, there is being built a handsome new theater to cost about $50,000. The J. S. Shiparo Company are tTie pro prietors and the new structure will be three stories and basement of brick construction. One of the borough's industries that is spreading the fame of the town Is the Aetna Explosives Company. Far back of the town this plant, with Its 1.500 employes, is turning out big quantities of powder for the armies across the sea. Among the businessmen who are planning new buildings are G. L. Hill man and P. M. Longnaker, two leading merchants. Neither, however, has at yet announced his plans. Altogether this town is living through a new era in its history. The war, ill wind that It is to others, has brought golden opportunities to the residents here. And they, wise and far-sighted as they are, have taken prompt advant age of every opportunity. Mount Union is growing and building. While It is a boom town just now it is plan ning for the future-—a future that will bring permanent solidarity. Some day Mount Union will he numbered among Pennsylvania's pros perous cities. JIEV. MR. COOKE AT MT. AIKY The Rev. William R. Cooke, who for some time had charge of the Market Square and Olivet Churches of this city, now is the acting 00-pastor of the Summit Presbyterian Church of Ger mantown. He and his sister. Miss iCooke, are living at 517 Westvlew street, Mount Airy. OCTOBER 21, 1916. WILSON SPEECH 58 WORDS LONG Here Half Hour, but Federal Office Holders and Seekers See Him About a Minute President Wilson made a fifty-eight word speech to 2,500 Democrats, men and women, boys and girls, of Har rlsburg and vicinity, who had stood in the rain at Union station for three quarters of an hour last night. The president was twenty minutes late in getting Into Harrlsburg and twenty five still later In leaving and there was turmoil all the time. The president's train developed such I speed trying to keep up with some of I the administration arguments near ' Cove that it got a hot journal and had \ to stop. Meanwhile the Central Demo- | cratic club had' mobilized with a band, flags, red fire and eminent Democrats and marched to the station. Just as It got under way the rain Joined in the demonstration, but there were enough federal office holders In the line to keep up the noise. Jostle I.ocal Celebrities When the president's overheated train pulled In the secret service men lost their heads at seeing the crowd and rushed the president up the platform, i hurling the committee of eminent citi zens, and the railroad men, waiting to shake hands right and left. Some were thrown on the adjoining tracks and ran the risk of being run over by tt-ains. Samuel Kunkel, treasurer of the Demo cratic State committee, was among those hustled out of the road and in the station people were actually pushed over benches in the frantic rush of the rattled squad. The Pennsylvania Rail road police were nearly as bad. They all seemed to be fussed up over some thing. The president had to wait until Mr. Kunkel was dug out of the mass into which his overzealous protectors had forced' him before ho could be Intro duced. In view of the Democratic criti cism of Mr. Hughes' refusal to speak more than forty-five words when here because his physician had ordered him not to do so there were expectations that the president would make a great speech. In fact the word had been passed along to look out for a world shaker. He spoke fifty-eight words and was rushed from the platform, the committee of eminent citizens being scattered like Democratic claims the morning after an election. The pres ident was hustled into his car, the train started and a car jumped the track. So the president sat in Isolation while it was put back on the rails and the crowd dispersed thinking he had left the city.
