Barclay Marksmanship will be a big factor with Pennsylvania Railroad police, starting with to-day. Captain of Po lice Paul 1. Barclay wants his men to be able to shoot with both rifle and revolver. He does not want them to shoot promiscuously, but when shots are required he wa*nts them to count. Commencing with to-day squads will be sent to Mt. Gretna at inter vals for practice. Each officer will be required to qualify within a cer tain time. Practice starts first with revolver shooting. IV t?e practice will come later. Captain Barclay said to day: Muni Be Good Marksmen "All policemen should be good marksmen. It is not necessary to kill. Sometimes a bullet in the leg will bring better results. Killing is the last resort, when a man's life is in jeopardy. We must capture the fugitives who try to get away. AN ith the target practice will come in structions as to how an officer should behave when the use of a revolver is necessary. Sometimes lie must shoot with other people around. A good marksman will be able to bring down his quarry without endangering the liyes of others. You must know how to use a revolver effectively on all occasions. Itifle Shooting "Rifle shooting is not a necessity with railroad officers at present, but if they call all soldiers from present guard duty to go abroad or take up army duty elsewhere, it will be nec essary for railroad officers on duty at bridges and munition plants and along the railroad to be equipped with rifles as well as revolvers. It will not be a waste of time for offi cers to learn how to shoot effectively with a rifle as well as revolvers.' K EXPLODES W11.1.S FIVE Philadelphia. May 2.—Five men were killed here late last night when a freight locomotive was blown to pieces by a bursting boiler in the West Philadelphia yards of the Penn sylvania Railroad. Low water in the boiler was given as the cause. All the victims were employes of the company. FOUR WOMEN TESTIFY Positive Proof that Lydia E.

TRAFFIC KEEPS TRAINS MOVING Middle Division Movement During March Was Heavy; Not Up to Record While not up to previous records when freight business was conducted without intei ruptions in way of con gestions and war orders, traffic on the Middle division of the Pennsy last month was heavy. Officials say it was possible to handle more cars. 1 but they are pleased with results. April is usually a busy month for freight traffic. The total number of freight cars passing over the Middle division of the Pennsy last month was 155.592, or 13,101 less than March, and 24,864 less than in April of 1916. The aver age daily movement of freight cars was 6,156., The eastbound track was passed over by 85.847 cars, while 90.654 were bound westward. Of this total 110,- 222 were loaded and "5,370 empty. During March 198,903 cars passed over the division with an average movement of 6,419 cars a day. Of this number in March 115,056 were loaded. April of 1916 was one of the ban ner months and during that period a total of 210.456 freight cars passed over the division, for a daily average of 7,105. Not Ready For Women Until Officials Report Local railroad officials were unable to say when the plans for employing women would be put in operation. General Manager Elisha Lee, in liis statement yesterday, said general su perintendents will tirst make a sur vey to ascertain what positions the women may best fill. Until they re port. and conditions warrant, no ac tion will be taken here. General Manager Lee says: No men will be dropped from the payrolls to make way for women, al though some may be called upon to change the form of their occupation. "Stenography, typewriting and prac tically all other kinds of clerical work will be open to women at once. This will apply not only at the gen eral offices in Philadelphia, but also at all other offices where large cler ical forces are employed, including agencies, freight stations and trans fers. "The investigation to be conducted by the general superintendents will also be directed to ascertaining whether or not girls and women may be advantageously employed In other positions, including the lighter forms of machine shop work, telegraphy, telephony, signaling, train dispatch ing, ticket selling and ear cleaning."
