M ' 1312 Derry Street | TUESDAY EVENING, RAILROAD RUMBLES METAL DISCS FOR WATCHMEN To Replace Red Flags at Rail road Crossings; Painting Gates New Color Red flags at railroad crossings will soon be a matter of history. Metal discs will be used. Black and white gates are also coming into style. It has been decreed by the Pub lic Service Commission of the State that the red flags used by grade crossing watchmen must go.. The watchmen are to be provided with metal discs about H> inches in diam eter with the word "stop" painted on either side. Samples of these discs Were sent to the railroad officials and given a trial. They were found to be a lit tle too heavy, weighing about five pdunds. Samples made of lighter material were then sent and these arc likely to be adopted. Metal Discs Next For many years where it was nec essary to employ watchmen at grade crossings, red flags have been used by the men to warn teamsters and pedestrians of danger in crossing the tracks. It is claimed that the flags are not always distinguishable. There are 734 crossings in the| State with gates and 033 at which there are watchmen. This includes all of the railroads. It is understood that the discs will be sent out to the men guarding the public crossings as rapidly as they are finished. They will be made of heavy sheet iron. Wldte and Black Gates The crossings on the Pennsylva nia Railroad lines will be protected in the same manner. Another thing is that- the gates used at all crossings are to be painted black and white. This is now being done on the Bead ing, and many have had the colors changed to meet the wishes of the commission. This is part of the program for the standardization of grade cross ing protection, which the commis sion placed in the hands of John F. Dohoney, investigator of accidents. The painting of all gates is to be finished by the middle of July. Pennsy Has Land Bureau Supervisor in Charge Newport, Pa., May 15. D. M.

HA RRISBURG 1&36& TELEGRAPH CITY CLERK MILLER IS ELECTED MAYOR [Continued From first Pujfc] San than has been the case In any election since the Clark act went Into effect. Mr. Miller is the son of Francis Xavler Miller, familiarly known as "X," a native of Switzerland, who came to America in his younger days and lived in Ilarrisburg until his death in 1875. The new mayor was born in Fourth street, opposite the sito of Zion Lutheran Church, June 28, 1850, and received his early education in the public schools of the city, afterward preparing at the Harrisburg Academy for a course at St. Charles rJoromeo College, Howard county, Maryland, from which he was graduated with honors in the class of 1871. Mr. Miller was apprenticed to learn the tarde of printer In 1867, with George Berg:sor, in whose em ploy ho remained rot- nearly twenty years. He was appointed foreman of the HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH composing room in 1881 and filled that position very creditably until 1885 when he resigned in order to take his seat in the Legislature, to which he had been elected on the Republican ticket to represent the city district. He afterward engag ed in the carpet cleaning business with much success and continued in that lino until elected clerk of common council in 1891 and after ward to city clerk, being the first to serve in that capacity in Harris burg. Mr. Miller has been city clerk continuously since that time, being re-elected year after year, in most instances without opposition and by the unanimous choice of council. Mayor Miller was a member of common council from 1880 to 1883 and president of that body in 1882. He was elected to select council in 1883 and served until his resignation January 31, 1884, to take his seat in legislature. He was again elected to common council in 1888 and served also in ISB9. Mayor Miller's wife, who was Miss Rebecca Mauger, died in 1906. He has two daughters. The new mayor is a general fa vorite.

He has been the constant friend of newly-elected councllmen and a general yource of Information for everybody connected with the city government. "If you hon't know, ask Miller," has been a say ing about city offices that has spread to other parts of the state, particu larly among members of the Third Class City I.eague who for years have been accustomed to write him concerning the -literpretation of knotty points of municipal law and to help them solve difficult city gov ernmental questions. There aro few in Pennyslvania who are so well versed in city law and municipal af fairs as Mayor Miller. He is a strong believer in the future of Harris burg and was one of the first to urge , the great improvement campaigns that have since transformed the city. He has at all times placed the ad vantage of the city before all other considerations in council and has done much personally for the ad vancement of good municipal gov ernment both her* and throughout the state. Mr. Miller was in poor health for some years, but recently has shown decided improvement and enters up on his new duties as the culmination of a life-long ambition. He has .a summer home at Mt. Gretna, but has been so persistent in his duties to the city that it has not infrequent ly happened that council has been compelled to order him to take a vacation in order that lie might enjoy for a time the restful influ fluences of his Gretna place. WOMEN DOING MORE GARDENING THAN MEN [Continued From First Page] closed but little of the hard labor of turning the ground and planting has been done and the tiresome wait for the vegetables to poke their noses out of the ground is occupying the time of the amateur gardeners. It Is no uncommon sight to see whole families at work on the garden plots; father at Vork with a spade, mother with a rake, daughter using a hoe and a baby coach nearby with the precious baby In its depths. During the day the women people the gar- den plots In great numbers, the men doing their bit after working hours In the evenings. Interest Is Growing The highways leading to the larg est garden plot in Bellevue Park resemble parades in the early hours of the evening, when the vegetable glowers make a drive for the park h';lls. Contrary to the general be lief, interest in the gardens is not decreasing, but is growing by leaps and bounds. All the available lots have been out and Shirley B. Watts, garden lot superintendent, is cast ing around for more ground. In Bellevue 294 plots 25x4 5 feet have been given out. In this end of the city two plots of an acre each have been assigned to the Market Street Baptist church and the Mes siah Home. Plots larger than the usual family plot were assigned to several families who made Joint ap plication for the ground. Four acres have been used for this purpose, i Bellevue is a busy spot. He Couldn't Walt Some of the garden plots present the appearance of being far ad vanced. the early applicants having finished the work up in short order. I Some of the gardeners are forcing their plants with glass jars, but the majority are allowing nature to take it.: course. One of the skeptical farmers yesterday dug up his po- I t'jtoes out of curiosity only to find that everything was O. K. and that | their backwardness was due to the season. An acre of ground has been do nated to the Children's Industrial Home. This plot will be supervised by Mr. Watts and his assistant. Sixty-three plots 25x50 feet have been assigned the farmers at Nine teenth and Paxton streets. In all tl.ree acres are under cultivation in tl:e east end. A small plot of three quarters of an acre has been given out on the Hoffer farm on the Jones town road near Twenty-first and Walnut streets. Six plots, totalling one-quarter acre, at Seventeenth and Derry streets Is under cultivation and a>i acre and a half at Reel and Divi sion and Sixth and Maliantongo streets have been given to persons anxious to decrease the high cost of living.
