Much New Equipment
The triple, centrifugal pumpers,
with chemical and hose equipment,
will be new apparatus for the city de- 1
partment. At present all pumping is
done by stea mfire engines. With the
addition of these two pieces, one for i
the Allison Hill district and another !
in the West End, the first triple serv
ice apparatus will be in use.
Commissioner Gross, in speaking of I
the new equipment, said:
"One of these will be for the Mt. j
Pleasant Company, to replace the old j
rotary st am engine there, which is
beyond repairing.
The other triple piece will be sta- I
tioned at the Catnp Curtin Company I
house, adding a pumper to the appa
ratus in the uptown section. , j
"The equipment for each will in- I
elude a pump with a capacity of 750
gallons a minute; two 35-gallon chem- I
ical tanks, with 200 feet of chemical I
hose; containers for acid and soda to j
make additional chemical prepara- I
tions while apparatus is in service; I
one trussed-extension ladder in two J
sections of twelve feet, total length |

der. twelve feet long; poles, bars. Lan- j
terns and holders, small chamical !
tanks, metal baskets for firemen's uni- ■
forms and all other necessary acces- j
sories. including tool-set.
"One of the features of the chemical I
tank equipment of the triple appara
tus is that the small chemical hose
can also be used for a %-inch water,
stream on small fires when a 2 %-inch i
plug stream is unnecessary. This can 1
not be done with the present equip- I
ment.
New Truck* for Kelly nnil \lllmod
"The service trucks each will have a

have not had in the department.
"The Susquehanna, Citizen and Pax-j
ton engines will be mounted on front- j
drive tractors. These will be shipped i
here and put on. in all probability
within the next thirty days. The Good ;
Will engine at present is in the La-
Fran 'e factory for repairs. To over
haul it and rebuild it, making prac
tically a new machine, together with I
motorization, will cost about $6,200.
This will give the city four motorized |
steam engines, a triple piece to re- j
place the worn-out Mt. Pleasant engine
and the old chemical wagon; and one
triple pumper for the West End in ad
dition to the Good Will steamer.
Six Chemicals
"The six chemical and hose cars
which will be fu • ihed by the Boyd
Company, of Philadelphia, will be dis
tributed to replug the chemicals of j
the other compan.es, wlih li are horse

will be two 35-gallon chemical tanks,!
200 feet of chemical hose, large steel |

STOCKS FEEL EFFECTS
OF POSSIBLE STRIKE
Leading Rails Most Affected at Outset of Wall Street
Trading; Supporting Orders Reduce Losses
in Big Industrials
By Associated Press
New York. March 13. —Wall Street
—Stocks were under pressure at the
outset of to-day's dealings as a result
of threatened railway strike. Leading
rails were most affected, Reading and
Union Pacific losing a point or more
with fractional recessions in the lower
■ issues. U. S. Steel and associated
: industrials yielded substantial frac-
I tions and metals. Central Leather ilnd
i the prominent specialties were heavy.
I Supporting orders soon materially re
! duced the larger losses of the open
! ing.
I The rebound of the first half hour
gave way to another selling movement
iin which important stocks, including
I standard rails, fell to lower levels.
! Traders were active in the decline, us
' ing such leaders as steel, coppers and
j shippings to depress values elsewhere.
: New York Centrql, Reading, Lehigh
j Valley and I'nion Pacific showed great
;er heaviness with minor rails. Ship
j pings and oils also reacted with equip
! inents. Dealings slackened on the sec
ond setback which induced some short
j covering.
I By mladay Steel. Marines. Utah Cop
per and Central Leather had made full
j recovery with one point gains in In
| dustrial Alcohol, General Motors and
Cuba Can Sugar. Bonds were irregu
lar.

MANY LEAVING
AFTER VICE AND
DOPE DEN RAIDS
Unprecedented Exodus of Un
desirables From City; Dis
trict Is Quiet
| Observers last evening noticed an
j unprecedented exodus of undesirables
from the city, doubtless a result of
the recent raids made by the local
police department. Similar raids at
other times have caused quite a flow
but nevnr in such sumbers as the re
cent cleanup.
A tour of tlie questionable parts of
the city last night, disclosed conditions
in many sections funeral-like. The
section near Strawberry and Cowden
was unusually quiet. Even during the
day the worst kind of conditions are
very thinly, glossed in that particular
section last night, however all was
quiet and the usual loafer's and brawl
ers were not in evidence. At 16 Cow
den street, notorious in police annals,
not even a light was burning.
Get It For Cents n Pack
At the hearings yesterday afternoon
several of the victims spoke glibly of
persons who sold them dope at 25
cents a pack. Several of the "users"
however, admitted that it wasn't pure
"goods," and they could tell the dif
ference in the sensation after taking
a shot.
One of the prisoners lined up be
fore the magistrate suid that he had
-setting doctor's prescriptions for
years. Some oi iiient declared they
had been relying 6n that source al
most exclusively.
When the fines were imposed the
amounts were received with indiffer
ence by the accused. With a few ex
ceptions the fine was cheerfully peeled
from a substantial roll of bills. One
of them whispered In the ear of a
nearby reporter, "Ah, h— kid. what do
I care, 1 got money In four banks and
some In the postal savings, g<t that,
do you, eh?"
$566,865 Raised by This
Diocese For Pension Fund
Of the six and a half million dolllars
received by the Protestant Episcopal
Church as a pension fund for its min
isters, $566,865 was raised by the Har
risburg Diocege, according to reports
submitted at a committee meeting yes
terday. The meeting was held at "the
home of the Rev. James F. Bullitt,
rector of St. Andrew's Episcopal
Church.
The following officers were elected
by the committee: Chairman, John C.
Schmidt, of York: secretary, the Rev.
W. C. Pugh, of Sunbury; treasurer, R.
M. H. Wharton. Other members of
the committee are the Rev. F. O. Mus
sclman. of Bloomsburg; Frederick C.
Munson, of Williamsport. and the Rev.
Mr. Bullift, of Harrisburg.

Look For Great New
German Offensive on
the Western Front
By Associated Press
London, March 13. —Special dls
j patches received here from Holland
contain current reports of German
preparations for an expected greut of
fensive on the western front. The
latest rumor, which is attributed to
Belgian sources, is that the Germans
intend to try again to break through
on the Yser with Calais their object
ive.
The Belgian newspaper. Echo Beige,
which now is published at The Hague,
hears that General Van Kalkehayn has
passed through Tlrlemont on his way
to the Flemish front. The writers
say that the tight closing of the
Dutch-Belgian frontier for several
days past and the suspension of all
sailings from Antwerp for Holland
make It Impossible to ascertain the
exact value of these reports, but that
the universal belief Is that most Im
portant movements are in progress.
