SCHOLASTIC GAME
NEAR FINISH LINE
Lebanon Meets Reading; Win
ner Takes Chaippionship
• Honors
I —-
Tech at Central; Lebanon at Rend
ing, Stcelton at York are the contest?,
that will decide the championship of
the Central Pennsylvania Basketball
League this week. Lebanon and Read
ing are deadlocked for the season's
honors with eight victories and one
defeat. The fray at Reading will be
the final league contest for the lead
ers, and the winner will receive the
honors for the season. Both quintets
have won consistently throughout the
season.
Tccli to Moot Central
While the two Dutch teams are
fighting it out for the honors of the
league, Tech and Central will get to
gether in that little battle of their
own which 'will be every bit as exclt- :
ing as the one at Lebanon. While
both of the local teams are out of It
for first place, yet It will be for the
olty honors and incidentally Tech will
have its best opportunity in years to
win the honors. Tech's schedule has
been a repetition of former years.
With to-day Gregory and Fields will
enter the Blue and Gray line-up. But
the chance to repeat last year's record
has been lost, and the only oppor
tunity to win any laurels will come
in the Tech se r ies. Had the Central
team remained intact the five would
have been In good shape to play the
Tech series. But with the team brok
en up for four weeks, it is a sure thing
that it will take a little time to get
the team working smoothly again.
Stcelton Sots R<H-ord
Steelton set a record for the league
by blanking Central at Felton Hall
Friday night. It was the first time
this season that a team had failed to
score from the field in the league.
Tech's victory on the same floor the ]
previous week adds to the hope of
the Tech followers that the Maroon I
can capture the Central series. Steel- 1
ton will come to Central on the twen- I
ty-third, while the final league game
will occur on the thirtieth, when Cen
tral will go to the Armory. This week's
game will be played at Chestnut Street
Hall.
Practically no changes have taken
place In the league standing. Moore 1
and Nyquist have both added a little ,
to their averages, and are far ahead
of any of their opponents. Witmyer,
the flashy York guard, added to his j
total by scoring 28 points in the two j
sanies aginst Reading and Lebanon.

Penn's Relay Carnival
Promises New Records
'• Philadelphia. March 12. —With the
indoor season virtually on its last legs. |
all eyes are now turned toward the
twenty-third annual relay race carni- i
val to be held on Franklin Field on j
the last Friday and Saturday of next!
month. Pennsylvania's great carni- '■
val has become the great classic track
and field meet of America. For several!
years now it has attracted a ma
jority of the collegiate and scholastic
teams of the United States. More than
seventy college teams have already
sent in their names, while the number
of school teams is crawling steadily to
the 200 mark. Reports from all over
the country indicate that the teams
that will come here next month will
be up to the very high standard of
American intercollegiate sport.
Harvard and Princeton have made
the best showing ih the one-mile race
during the winter. Harvard's great
victory in the Meadowbrook games on
Saturday night, when it won the one
mile indoor championship in 3 minu
tes 26 seconds, only 2-5 seconds behind
the record, will make It favorite for
the outdoor event.
The West will this year be very
strongly represented in this event,
with Chicago and Missouri bringing
on the fastest teams. Kansas, Illinois
and Wisconsin also are hoping to'
have fast quarters, while Michigan
feels that it will have a team equal to
coming close to the present figures.
Special importance is attached to
this race this year because of the do
nation of the Mike Murphy Challenge
Cup. All of the colleges will be very
eager to get the first leg on this solid
silver trophy.
"Billy" Sunday Given
$60,000 For Buffalo Work
Buffalo. N. Y., March 12. "Billy"
Sunday finished his sixth week here
last night and will stay two weeks
longer. Ilis campaign here has been a
success. He has preached to more than
.'>oo.ooo persons, has obtained nearly
20.000 converts and has taken in nearly
$60,000 in collections.
Those who w-ere back of the Sunday
campaign are more than satisfied with
the results so far. Buffalo had become
to he known as "the graveyard of evan
gelism," because of tile failure of all
previous campaigns.
In collections Buffalo leads Boston,
but the trail-hitters here are about
half as many as Boston, and the attend
ance is about three-fourths as great.
While the meetings are more apathetic
here when it comes to trail-hitting, the
people have proved more liberal. The
local expense budget was cleaned up
quicker lierp than in any other city in
which Sunday ever conducted a cam
paign. _
Council to Act on
Valley Railway Tax Suit
Mechaniesburg. Pa., March 12.
Mechanicsburg citizens are consider
ing a proposition to take out an in
junction to restrain the borough coun
cil from dropping proceedings against
the Valley Traction Company. The
suit involves $8,200 for the rent of
fhe streets by the trolley company. Re
cently the Supreme Court placed the
borough in a position to win its long
legal fight, but a movement has been
made to have the matter dropped and
to withdraw the case, which is listed
to be heard at Carlisle on March 20.
Borough council will take up the
matter at its meeting this evening.

j [Continued Prom First Page]
the ground "to get right" when the
j campaign will be started in earnest,
j IST ADD BACK YARD
4.800.000 Sq. F l , of Land Here
For the information of this vast
! army of gardeners—and for those
housewives who may have suspicions
: of the presence of "slackers" in their
i immediate vicinity, here are a few fig
, ures that present possibilities well
1 worth careful consideration,
j In an effort to estimate the acreage
lin vacant or unimproved lots within
the city limits, figures were compiled
! from the lists of ten real estate firms,
! and interviews were had with mem
: bers of the City Kngineer's force and
the Assessor's office. To arrive at any
; thing like an accurate estimate, how
] ever, would be. in the opinion of one
!o' fthe city's engineers, "a job that
would take four men a whole year
i to finish an dwould be worth a J5.000
| wage."
But this Is a safe bet: There are
| at least 4,800,000 square feet of vacant
land in Harrisburg, divided into lots
I averaging 4,000 square feet and dis
| tributed in all parts of the city, that
j could be leased for four or five months
! under certain conditions and stipula-
I tions, at a nominal figure.
8. 800 Iluslicl.s Possible
I Taking the potato, now classed as:
| one of the precious jewels of the gar- '
\ den, for example, which, according
| to an authority in the State Depart-
I ment of Agriculture, has reached an
I average production of SO bushels to
i the acre, Harrisburg's 4,800,000 square
j feet, or 110 acres of vacant lots would
yield 8,800 bushels of tubers.
"But I would raise that estimate,"
| remarked an expert in the depart- |
I men, "for the reason that individual |
j gardeners would give a maximum of I
[attention to cultivation and the result
would be nearer 100 bushels to the
'acre." Furthermore, the rich alluvial
i soil of the Susquehanna basin is ex- ;
\ ceptionally productive of vegetable :
growth .and this is another reason for
1 optimism in the contemplation of the i
! results of "intensive farming" on city j
lots.
Right Outside tlie Rood
1 The "survey" of available land with- j
| in the city limits where this peaceful :
I army of gardeners may dig their j
; trenches did not stop with unlinprov
jed and detached plots. A glance at
• the sectional maps of the city con
, vinced the investigator that much i
available land which could be used j
! for gardening was in close proximity j
to thousands of homes. In other j
words, right outside the kitchen door. !
Many Small Cianlcns
i Of the 18.000 properties in the city,
I about 12,000 are private residences
i with yards averaging 2,200 square
\ feet, or a little over one-twentieth of
| a nacre. Simple arithmetic makes |
| that a total of 26,400,000 square feet,
|or over 600 acres. And if one acre •
'• will produce 100 bushels of potatoes. !
i what's the answer?
S,BOO Bushels:
Sixty-eight thousand eight hundred
bushels of potatoes! That is what
Harrisburg could produce: an aver
j age of four and a quarter bushels for
• each of the 16,000 families, by culti
vating all available land.
The moral of 11 of which, consid
ering the high prices, is:
Kilter the lists of the army of gar
deners and take an -active part in the
great outdoor sport of the springtime.

SUSPECT PLOT TO
DAMAGE NAVY YARDS
[Continued From First Page]
ed a plot with many ramiflfications to
damage property at the navy yard in
the event there is war between the
United States and Germany. Govern
ment officials are maintaining silence,
neither confirming nor denying pub
lished reports that explosives have
been smuggled on board the Kronprinz
Wilhelm and the Prinz Eitel Fried
rich. tied up at the navy yard.
The two ships, it was said, would be
searched to-day for explosives. Up
to this time, it is said, the navy de
partment has only the assurance of
the commanders that there are no ex
plosives aboard.
Adelbert K. Fischer, his wife, Helen,
and Henry Rohner, head of a whole
sale grocery concern here, are out on
bail charged with smuggling the
chronometers from the two German
ships. Government agents are not
sure that Rohner had any knowledge
of the alleged smuggling scheme. His
friends declare that he had been per
suaded by Fischer to permit his motor
truck to be used for bringing boxes
from the navy yard when Rohner em
ployes delivered groceries to the In
terned ships.
Kxaminc Papers
Many papers and documents taken
from the Fischer home in the suburbs
are being examined by the Federal
authorities. Whether they revealed
any widespread plot involving a viola
tion of the neutral laws government
agents would not say. It was said that I
the Fischers are distantly related to
the Hohenzollern family of which the
Emperor of Germany is the head.
Mrs. Fischer also is said to be re
lated to Koertin*, the German iron
master. What part she took in the
alleged smuggling has not been reveal
ed.
The arrest of the Fischers and |
Rohner has given impetus to a move- I
ment started here last week to have '
the interned German cruisers removed
from the navy yard. It is declared
that in the event of war the 750 In
terned German sailors would be a serL
ous menace to the yard and South
Philadelphia.
Carranza Is Elected
President of Mexico
Mexico City, March 12. General
Venustiano Carranza was yesterday
elcted President of Mexico by what
is believed to have ben the largest
vote ever -cast in the Republic. Al
thouKh the voters ha dthe privilege of
writing? or declaring any name they
desired. General Carranza received all
but a few scattered ballots. It is esti
mated that about a million votes were
cast.
Mexico will now have a Constitu
tional President for the first time
since 1911, when Francisco Madero re- I
ceived more than 300,000 votes. Gen
eral Victoriano Huerta called an elec
tion in 1914 and declared himself
elected, but later nullified It on the
ground tht an insufficient number of
votes had been cast.
The election of General Carranza to
the Presidency marks the climax of
his efTorts. H took the field against
[Huerta, February 19, 1913, after Hu
! erta had seized the executive power.

BROTHERHOODS AND
P.R.R. ARGUE FULL CREW
[CCstlnued from First Ihigp]
hood representatives deny this charge
emphatically.
The Railroad Statement
The railroad statement to which the
Brotherhoods object in part follows:
"The wreck was caused by a hot
box which burned off a journal of the
eleventh car from the engine of the
freight train, derailing the car and ten
others. An Adams Express train,
about to pass on the adjoining track,
in the opposite direction, ran into the
derailed freight cars' with the result
that the fireman and three attendants
on the Adams Express train were
killed.
"Tle freight train was manned in
accordance with the terms of the
"extra crew' laws. It consisted or 33
cars, the three cars inexcess of the
number of 30 requiring the employ
ment of an additional brakeman.
"The inquiry conducted by General
Manager S. C. Lon gshows that in
the course of the run from Waverly,
N. J., to the point near Bristol, Pa.,
where the wreck occurred, a distance
of about 64 miles, the conductor, the
flagman and the rear brakeman —the
latter being the employe carried to
conform with the 'extra crew' laws—
never left the cabin car at the rear of
the train, except during two brief
stops. On each of these occasions,
the conductor and rear brakeman
claims to have walked beside the train
a distance of about live car lengths
from the rear. The head brakeman
rode in the engine cab from Waverly
to the point of the accident.
'ln the opinion of the officers of
the company who conducted the in
vestigation the accident would not
have occurred if the crew of the
freight train-had given proper atten
tion to duty.
"The management believes that the
responsibility for the w reck rests with
the entire crew of the freight train,
with the exception of the fireman, in
difference to duty being shown by all
the other members, including the ad
ditional brakeman carried in con
formity with the 'extra crew' law."
The Brotherhood Statement
The statement of the brotherhoods
denying the charge in substance as
follows:
"The statement authorized by the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company that
the facts which have been ascertained
as a result of a careful and thorough
investigation of the wreck of a freight
train and an Adams Express train
which occurred on February 25 near
Bristol, Pa., are believed by the man
agement of the Pennsylvania Railroad
l to furnish a practical demonstration of
| the truth o(*the contention that the so
, called Full Crew Law not only failed
Ito increase safety but actually en-
J couraged indifference to duty. This we
i cannot give credence for the reason
| that it is based upon theory and no
I fundamental reason is given for this
| belief. Their own evidence in the in
vestigation has proven that the wreck
was caused by a hot box which burned
I off a journal, derailing the train, an
; Adams Express train about to pass in
I the opposite direction ran into the de
; railed freight cars with the result that
the fireman and three attendants on
ithe Adams Express train were killed.
The statement that the train was
manned in accordance with the terms
■ of the Full Crew Law is fully denied
i in their statement in that they claim
[that the conductor and the flagman
! and the rear brakeman rode in the
caboose and that the front brakeman
rode in the cab of the engine. If this
be true, then the evidence is that the
train was not manned in accordance
with the provisions of the Full Crew
Law.
'ln their statement they claim that if
■ the brakeman or the train crew had
been attending to their duties, this
journal in all probability would not
have burned cff. This statement alcpe
j is sufficient evidence to convince any
I person or persons that there is a neces
sity for a watchful brakeman on the
t train and if the train crew was not
I performing their duties or executing
the rules and regulations as laid down
by the railroad company then we can
only look upon it In the light that the
railroad company is not carrying out
a proper discipline of their employes,
t The fact that the railroad company
claimed in their statement that the
rear brakeman was carried as an em
ploye to merely conform with the pro
visions of the Full Crew Law would
indicate that they themselves have not
required this man to ride out upon
the train and perform the duties of a
watchful brakeman."
The statement holds that the very
fact that the journal burned off is
proof of the need of sufficient men on
the train to look out for such mishaps
and that drastic measures should bo
taken to require the companies to live
up to the law.
The charge is made that the Broth
erhoods have heard of cases where
men have been instructed to ride in
the cabooses and perform no duties
and have specific cases where this has
resulted in loss of life.
Continuing the statement says:
'The Full Crew Law provides for
a careful supervision of the entire
operation of a train and the com
pliance with all the rules of the rail
road. In this case thereatically the
railroad company contends that fewer
men would give greater supervision of
a train than an engineer, a fireman,
two brakemen and a flagman as pro
vided for i nthe Full Crew Law. This
bill provides for two brakemen and
the very necessary employes of every
train to wit: the engineer, firman, con
ductor and flagman—one brakeman
would have prevented the Bristol
wreck—two brakemen could not, is
their argument. An effort to enforce
the spirit of the law as well as the
letter of the law would compel all em
ployes to discharge their full duty. The

GOOD DIGESTION
IS PREPAREDNESS
Dr. Dixon Galls Attention to
the Necessity For Taking
Care of People
People of Pennsylvania are called
upon by lr. Samuel G. Dixon, the
State Commissioner ot Health, to keep
themselves in a state of preparedness
and readiness for national defence by
looking after their digestion and
health. "Upon the health oZ every
man. woman and child depends our
national defence," is the commission
er's declaration.
The commissioner in hts statement
says:
"Last week's letter was a warning
to our fellow-citizens against the over
eating of potatoes—an indigenous
tuber of America sometimes called tho
'lrish potato.' To-day attention is call
ed to the fact that starchy foods are
more quickly and thoroughly digested
in the secretions of the glands of the
mouth than in any other part of the
digestive system. The digestion of
starch always begins with the saliva.
The proper mastication of starchy
foods depends upon their being held
in the mouth long enough to permeate
them thoroughly with ptyalin. If the
starch is swallowed without being
saturated In the mouth It pusses on
through the stomach proper Into what
might be called the second stomach,
where it* digestion is again taken up,
but there is no substance like the se
cretions of the mouth.
"The expert chemists are constantly
testing the commercial substances sold
as digestive agents, yet I never heard
of any of them that would compare
in digestive strength with the saliva
of the mouth.
"The important lesson to maintain
health in youth and old age Is the
proper digestion of the starchy foods
by mixing them up with the saliva in
the mouth and not swallowing them
down until that takes place. This will
produce the chemical condition neces
sary for it to be taken up and circu
lated through the body and give
strength to it along with that given by
meats, beans and fats.
"The following represent some of
the starches to be well masticated and
mixed with the saliva before swallow
ing: Potatoes, corn, rye, hominy, rice,,
white bread, toasts, macaroni, bana
nas, crackers, all cereal breakfast
foods, tapioca, arrow root, sago, buck-
Wheat, barley and parsnips."
