sing, in a complaint against the gink
• ing Spring Water company, which
operates in vicinity of Reading. Crau
mer was charged 50 cents a foot ac
cording to the frontage of his prop
erty before water service was given.
Mr. Alcorn says that it does not
lielp to call the charge a service
charge and declares that the cost of
the water pipe would form a very im
portant element in valuation of the
company's property. "Undoubtedly,"
says he, "the laying of water pipe in
front of a property enhances its mar
ket value but a private water com
pany has no right to make any charge
on that account. This water pipe was
laid some years ago and if the com
plainant purchased the property since
the pipe was laid he paid for the im
provement in the purchase price. A
municipality, a branch of the govern
ment, is authorized by law to make j
such assessments because of the local
benefit to the property, but a private
water company has no such right."
Nineteen New Cases.—Nineteen new
caseß and five applications for rehear
ing are listed for hearing by the State
Board of Pardons for its January
meeting next Wednesday. There are
two applications for clemency for men
condemned to electrocution in the list.
Trackless Trolley,—The State's first
trackless trolley company, the Dover-
Rossville Transit Company, granted a
franchise in York county, will ask the
right to begin exercise of its franchise
from the Public Service Commission j
next week. The commission recently I
granted it a certificate and it now asks!
for the right to begin business. The j
commission has scheduled hearings j
for almost every day next week in
Harrisburg, while an examiner will
take testimony in Hydetown in a
grade crossing case.
Dixon Takes Action.—Health Com
missioner Dixon last week directed
Assistant Engineer Drake to proceed
immediately to Etna in Allegheny
county for the purpose of investigat
ing an outbreak of typhoid fever.
Etna is a borough of about 6,000 pop- |
illation. Nineteen cases of typhoid
have been reported from there since
Christmas and the Health Commis
sioner has decided an examination of
the source should be made to prevent
further spread of the disease. The
smallpox outbreak ill Allegheny show
ed no new cases reported to-day. The
last cases were those of Wednesday,
when three were reported from Tur
tle Creek and Braddock townships. In
each of these cases, it was reported,
the individual was working in a dif
ferent large industrial plant, with the
chance of contact and spreading the
disease to scores of fellow employes.
As a result of these three cases more
than 1,000 vaccinations have been
made under the direction of the State
Health Department in the plants and j
neighborhoods affected.
Education Board. Members ofj
the State Board of Education who last I
evening decided to recommend ad-1
tlVanceg of SSO per year in the present!
salaries of all teachers will take im-!
mediate steps to bring the proposition
to attention of school dieectors and]
will also give notice to the legislators
of the recommendation that the I
biennial school appropriation be made]
$18,500,000. This will not include the |
appropriation foV vocational schools
•which will be a separate item and
have bearing upon what the federal
government will contribute for voca
tional education in Pennsylvania un
der the newly enacted Hughes law.
The new training schools for con
tinuation school teachers will be
opened next summer in the Uni
versities of Pennsylvania and Pitts
burgh and Btate College.
Big Hearing Due. The Public
Service Commission is preparing for a
big hearing next week when the Penn
sylvania Railroad application to with
draw rates from coal shippers who
load from wagons will be heard. The
aim is to restrict the shipping to cars
loaded from tipples, this being con-j
sidered the quickest way to ship and '
to keep up the car supply.
Abolish Some Queer Ones. Over;
a score of statutes enacted within thej
first, fifty years of the history of|
Philadelphia and many dating from,
the first century, of the province of
Pennsylvania are included in the list j
of obsolete laws which it is proposed
to wipe off the books through separate
nets instead of an omnibus repealer,
which was vetoed last session. The
list of bills carried in the repealer of
1915 has been increased by discovery
of some of no earthly use to-day as
they d*al with inspection of shingles
and relate to trading with Indians.
One act which seems to have been a
cause of controversy forbade fraud in

NEW YORK SHOW
BREAKS RECORDS
National and International in
Scope; Motor Show Attend
ance Taxes Hotel Facilities
By ANTON BENSON
Amid a maze of motor mechanism
mere man meandered amazed at the
magnitude and magnificence of Motor
dom's display and meditated on its
meaning to Mammon. Thusly the
circus press agent would no doubt de
scribe the mammoth proportions and
beauty of the New York Auto Show,
which closes this evening at the Grand
Ceptral Palace. It was without doubt
the most wonderful display of automo
biles and accessories ever assembled
under one roof. National and inter
national in its scope, the automobile
show is not only the greatest motor
show, but the most Important event In
New York during the year. And that
is saying a great deal when New York
is considered the most interesting city
in the world. Hotels were taxed be
yond capacity and many visitors were
obliged to seek shelter in the residen
tial districts, as pages of applications
for rooms were on the waiting list in
the numerous big hotels. This interest
in an automobile show bespeaks the
importance of the industry better than
any other one phase that can be
quoted.
Four hundred cars and four hun
dred tons of accessories on four big
floors, showing cars from S4OO to
SIO,OOO each, from the modern golden
chariot and the aristocratic limousine
down to a severely plain and humble
looking car, the appearance of which
seemed to bespeak the experimental
effort of some novice, there was variety
In style and price to meet any taste
or purse requirement. The tendency
of the coming season seems to be to
give the buyer a better car, with,
greater efficiency and comfort, for
practically the same money. If it had j
not been for the unprecedented rise in
the cost of materials of all kinds the
manufacturers would have been able
to give all the added improvements for
less money than heretofore. Hut In
many cases a slight advance In price
has been necessary. The cars are
really cheapen now than in the long
run, as they go farther on the same
quantity of fuel. Greater efficiency
permits more speed, greater power,
and makes it possible to throttle down
to slower speed on high gear and ac
celerates more rapidly. More comfort I
and added refinements are essential i
considerations, and the acme of per- I
fection in motor cars is rapidly being j
attained.
The representatives and distributors;
for the various makes of cars were
wined and dined at the finest hotels 1
and nuggets of wisdom from the
world's leading captains of industry
were features of the banquets. Ef
ficiency suggestions from men who
draw princely salaries because of their
ability as producers are valuable fea- ]
tures of these factory gatherings and
an inspiration to the selling organ- j
ization. Harrisburg was well repre- !
sented at the numerous banquet halls :
and hotels, as most of the leading cars
have able local representation. The
mechanical details on models can bet
ter be shown and explained at the I
Harrisburg show, which will soon be :
with us. -

Garrison Gravely Warns
, Nation Against Future
New York, Jan. 13.—Unless the pres
ent problems confronting the United
States are settled soon and rightly the
nation "must mourn in sackcloth and
ashes' for its folly and heedlessness de
clared Llndley M. Garrison, former sec
retary of war, in an address last night
before the New York State Bar Associa
tion.
"In that day the execration heaped
upon those who led the nation astray,"
he asserted "will differ in degree only
from that heaped upon those who saw
the light and knew the way, but had
hearts too faint to lead on the proper
way."
Mr. Garrison declared that the coun
try's foreign relations must be kept
above party consideration and conson
ant with national traditions. Tho en
ergies of the wisest and best leaders
the nation can produce will be taxed,
he said, to determine the part the United
States should play in world politics,
NEWS OF S
SUSPECT CASE
OF SMALLPOX
House Quarantined Until State
Health Authorities Com
plete Investigation
Following an InvestlgaUon this
morning. State health authorities
quarantined a boarding house at 711
Scfuth Third street, Steelton, where
Jack Peters, a Portuguese is suspected
of having smallpox. Health authorities
were investigating all day and until
late this afternoon were unable to
state definitely whether or not the
man had the disease. Until the in
vestigation is completed the house will
remain under quarantine. There are
15 persons living there.
Peters was employed at the local
steel plant as a laborer. He worked
in the open with six other men, clean
ing up about the buildings.
State Health Commissioner Dixon
this morning sent Assistant Chief
Medical Inspector Hull to examine the
case. The case was reported by Dr.
W. P. Dailey of Steelton yesterday, to
County Medical Inspector Dr. Clar
ence Phillips.
His symptoms of the disease are of
an early stage and he is being treated
for smallpox, although it is not near
certain that it is a true case. If subse
quent examination should confirm the
smallpox diagnosis, all the employes
in the shop will have to be vaccinated.
It is understood that there is not a
quorum in service in the Steelton
Board of Health, the medical mem
ber being on the border and the presi
dent having moved to Bethlehem
without resigning. If this is the case
the State Board of Health will be
forced to take charge of the borough
health matters until local authorities
are reorganized, it was stated this
morning.
It is understood that Peters was re
cently in jail. If this is found to be
every prisoner in the jail
will be vaccinated.

NO LOSS OF LIFE
IN SERIES OF
POWDER BLASTS
Nino Explosions Destroy Nine
Buildings ot Du Pont
Plant
New York. Jan. 13,—-While official
Information was lacking. It appeared
to-day that there was no loss of life in
the series of powder explosions at the
plant of the Du Pont Powder Company
at Haskell, N. J., last night. About a
dozen employes were slightly Injured.
No estimate of the damage was given
by Haskell officers, who said state
ments would be forthcoming to-day
at the company's headquarters at Wil
mington, Del.
Haskell, the scene of other explo
sions which have cost lives, did not
witness the spectacular incidents
which accompanied the fira and ex
plosion on the day before at Kings
land, another New Jersey town. There
were no shells stored awaiting ship
ment for war purposes in Europe and
the devastation was not so widespread.
Only powder was being manufac
tured at Haskell. After nine explosions
within ten minutes, ton after ton of
powder flared up until tho blaze
burned so brightly that it was visible
at points many miles away. Several
of the detonations were heard as far
north as Poughkeepsie, N. Y.
Haskell residents who fled from the
scene found their homes wrecked
when they returned to-day. In other
towns the deputy sheriffs spent the
night guarding banks, public buildings
and dwellings, where all glass panes
had been shattered.
Nine Buildings Burned
in Fires Following
Powder Explosion
Wilmington, Del., Jan. 13. -• An
official statement by the DuPont Pow
der Company about the explosion at
the Haskell plant, issued this morn
ing, says:
Investigation made by the officials
of the DuPont Company show that
the trouble began with the explosion
of a sweetie or glazing barrel, in which
the finishing touches are put on
smokeless powder. This explosion
burst the piece of machinery apart,
and it is presumed fragments of metal
exploded a magazine some distance
away. Flames from the burning
powder ignited a blending tower in
another direction, and • the flames
from this, in turn, spread until in all
nine buildings were involved in the
fire.
Completed investigations show that
two men are missing. It is not known
yet whether they were killed. Two
others were seriously enough injured
to need hospital treatment, but their
injuries are not considered dangerous.
There are a number of minor injuries,
consisting of bruises and scratches, but
aside from the two, they required
slight medical attendance.
Reports to the company indicate
that the explosion was more spectacu
lar than harmful to the surrounding
territory. Most of the houses in the
village surrounding the powder works
belonged to the company, and the
damage to them was not groat.
While the amount of pow'der de
stroyed—about 460,000 pounds—was
large, this loss will not interfere seri
ously with the deliveries under con
tracts held by the company. Tabula
tions made by the company show that
the percentage of loss and the num
ber of fires and casualties suffered at
the various plants since the making
of war munitions began is no greater
than before the war. These figures
indicate that reports of incendiarism
due to war feeling have no founda
tion in fact.
Printed reports that these 460,000
pounds of powder Avere ready to be
shipped to the allies last niglit carry
their own denial. A large quantity
of this powder was in the blending
towers and dry houses, which means
that it was in process of manufacture
and was far from being ready for
shipment.
The two missing men are Francisco
Vincente and Harry Walsh, both of
Paterson, N. J., powder makers.
Nine men reported at the hospitaj,
and of these only two had injuries
suffieienily serious to warrant their
staying for treatment. They are L.
Rodesky, a guard, and John Rya, a
fireman at the powder house. Both
live at Haskell and are suffering from
cuts about the head.
Baltimore Fat Policemen
to Be Put on "Lean" Diet
Baltimore, Md. Jan. 13.—The majority
of Baltimore's pplice department is too
fat to be thoroughly efficient, so it is
proposed to diet those patrolmen whose
girth now impede their speed. Chief
Surgeon Athcy, of the department, be
gan his campaign to-day. The majority
of ailments which incapacitate police
men have, according to his investiga
tion, proved to be rheumatism, stomach
troubles and Irritation of the feet.
Rheumatism has been found to occur
most frequently among those policemen
of pompous girth and their slender
brothers who munch peanuts on their
>eats and resort to ham sandwiches
.nd pickles at dinner time.
LONG NAMED AS

Roy, Resigned
t>. Edward Long, of Fannettsburg,
Franklin county, president of tlie
Chambersburg Public Opinion Pub
llsl.ing company, and one of the best
known men In the Cumberland val
ley, was last night announced as ap
pointed superintendent of public
printing and binding to succeed A,
Nevln Pomeroy, resigned. Mr, Long
will accept and his namo will shortly
go to the Senate.
Mr. Long's name was mentioned
yesterday as one of the men consid
ered for the place, but it* was inti
mated at the Capitol that no selection
would be made before the 22nd. It is
believed that the questions continu
ally arising in the department of
printing and binding because of the
lack of anything In the law providing
for administration during a vacancy
caused the Governor to act.
The new superintendent is a native
of Franklin county, an attorney and
businessman. He was Republican
county chairman and in 1912 was a
member of the Republican State com
mittee. Twico lie served as district
attorney of Franklin county and was
a candidate for Judge. He has been
Identified with publishing enterprises
for years. Having many friends at
the State Capitol, he will be warmly
welcomed.
It is an odd coincidence that Mr.
Long and his predecessor, A. Neviu
Fomeroy, and A. Nevin Detrich, who
Was offered the place, all come from
the earne county.
WAYS OF PUTTING

able for a day's work. If he is worked
longer, and he may be, such work will
constitute overtime and entitle him to
extra pay. The economic burden o£
this extra pay is counted on to pro
duce an actual shortening of hours,
and this shortening^can be effected
without curtailing the mileage of the
day's trip If the speed per mile is in
creased.
"If, however, like passenger engi
neers and conductors, the employe is
laboring at a task which can be and
usually is accomplished in less than
eight hours, he is of course unaffected
by the act. The purpose was to de
crease, not increase, the hours of
actual labor. It iB only when set to a
task of longer duration than eight
hours that the v act steps in and
penalizes the employer by imposing
overtime."
