Housekeepers should care for their own ice after it is delivered by the "Ice Man" to their premises. It is not sanitary, to say the least, to have the ice man to handle your foodstuffs. Con sider this for a moment and you will agree with us. An Unsanitary Demand Most people hailed with enthusiasm the edict of a State Bureau demanding that all hieat stalls should be equipped with a screen to prevent people from lingering meats. Yet a large number of these people neglectfully and thoughtlessly demand that the ice man handle their edibles. The ice man leaves his home at an early hour in the morning, attends his horses and does lots of other work. He then goes on his route and is required by many customers to take food products out of the refrigerator, put the ice in, and replace the edibles. Ice Consumers Must Help Owing to the unparalleled advance in the cost of everything connected with the ice business it will be difficult to maintain low prices for ice unless customers give a helping hand. If consumers will put their ice away instead of requiring the ice man to do it, at a loss of from two to ten minutes, more customers can be served and less wagons required, which means less expense. Unless customers co-operate with us in speeding along our wagons it will be necessary to further advance prices. United Ice & Coal Co. Forster & Cowden Sts. WEDNESDAY EVENING, baseball club of the American League will bo transferred to To ronto, Canada, within a month. Kumors that tho national capital Is to be relieved of a ball club have been current for several years, but this season, especially since the war began, tho attendance at Washington has been so small that the league au thorities have been looking around to see what could be done. Johnson in East It has teen generally supposed that if Washington lost the club it would go to Baltimore, an old major league berth. It has also been said that Brooklyn would liko to have a team in tho American League. Ban B. Johnson, president of the American League, is in New York now, but he denied that either Bal timore or Brooklyn is being consid ered for tho Washington franchise. When Toronto was mentioned, how ever, he refused to comment upon it. Tho Toronto report gains consid erable credence by the fact that Ar thur Irwin, of the present Interna tional League club in Toronto, is also in this city and has had conferences with Johnson. Irwin is the old shortstop who at one time managed tho Phillies. Later he was a scout for the New York Yankees.

British Seek Coal City Now Held by Germans; Artillery Roars Steadily Seek Coal City British activities in the vicinity of Lens indicate that General Haig has determined to make that coal city and the mining district around it so uncomfortable for the Germans that they will be forced to retire from it. While the artillery was roaring away in Belgium, giving promise of a British offensive movement there an attack was suddenly launched last night at points from the vicinity of Lens toward the Scarpe. The thrust was a successful one in the further process of rendering Lens untenable. The British not only progressed on the western slopes of Greenland hill, but pushed nearer Lens on its west ern outskirts. Meanwhile the British activity in Belgium is by no means to be lost sight of.wGerman newspaper com ment indicates that the Berlin staff expects a British offensive movement there though the German commen tators are speculating with some concern on the heavy artillery fire that is going on and the notable concentration of troops reported be hind the Belgian front. Air Fighting Successful The recent naval and aerial oper ations by the British on German i bases in Belgium have been notably successful. Photographic observa tions have revealed heavy damage at Ostend where the greater portion of the dock yards and workshops were damaged and several vessels sunk. . On the French front General Pe tain's forces have had to withstand two more heavy German attacks in the region northwest of Braye in the Aisne district. The Germans not only failed to gain their objective but lost heavily. The French lines were maintained intact. The latest German airplane raid on England seems to have resulted somewhat disastrously for the raid ing forces. Besides having two of their machines brought down during the raid they suffered the loss of four more during the flight back home, through attacks of British machines of the pursuing forces and others from Dunkirk. Thus six of the sixteen machines which took part in the raid were accounted for by the British.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH ORPHEUM All week, with dally matinees Juies Verne's "Twenty thousand Leagues Under the Sea." MAJ LSTlC—Vaudeville. PAXTANG PARK—Vaudeville. COLONIAL— 'The Pinch Hitter." REGENT—"The Cost of Hatred." While the whole world waits the latest news of the submarine war fare, which has "20,000 Lrngurii touched the very Iniler the Sen" shores of our own country, hundreds of people were turned away from the Orpheum yesterday afternoon and night, where the audience in silent wonder watched a torpedo made ready, loaded and fired from beneath the waves and saw it spin under water to Its mark and wreck a ship. They saw beauty and horror at the bottom of the ocean. They saw something absolutely pew in films. They saw the unfolding of Jules Verne's classic story,. "Twenty Thousand Leagues Un der the Sea." skillfully weltied with parts of "Mysterious Island" and all accompanied by exquisite music. The story and plot are so skillfully por trayed that interest Is keen through out the eight reels and there are scenes aplenty taken on the very bot tom of the ocean. Much that Is favorable can be said of the Majestic's vaudeville show the first half of the cur- Mnjrntlc 1111 l Has rent week. The bill I -Novel llendliner has a novel head ! liner a preten tious musical comedy entitled "Mar ried Via Wireless" that is not only noted for its good singing, dancing and comedy, but also for its elaborate scenic equipment. Other standard acts on the bill are: The Dohertys, In an entertaining comedy variety turn; Laidlaw, excellent roller skater; Steve Freda, well-known guitar player, and Harry and Etta Conly, presenting a bright comedy skit. For the last three days of the week—Mme. Doree's Celebrities, a company of superfine vocalists, giving Impersonations of world-famous grand opera stars, will be the big attraction. Of interest on the same bill are; Loney Haskell, popular comedian; Dupree and Du pree, excellent comedy bicyclists; Wayne and the Warren Sisters, clever singers, dancers and comedians, and Picquo, the European clown. The attraction at the Regent for to day only Is "The Cost of Hatred." with Kathlyn Williams "The Coat . and Theodore Rob lof Hatred," erts. This is a seri- Regent To-day ous story, revelatory of the workings of the mind of a strong man deeply wronged,, of his violent hatred, and his continual nursing of a grudge, which passing years leave unmitigat ed. Mr. Roberts, in the portrayal ,of a role of this kind, stands second to no player on the screen. Miss Wil liams plays two unique roles with her usual charm and skill. The offering for to-morrow, will be a return show ing of "The Call of the Cumberlands," with Dustln Farnum in the stellar role, a story replete with red-blooded action and heart Interest. "The Pinch Hitter," a new Triangle feature with Chas. Ray in the leading role, which Is the at fha*. Roy at traction at the Colonial the Colonial Theater to-day, is a master production, com bining sure-flre appeals of romance, comedy and clean sport. The story concerns a lubberly farmer boy who incites the gibs of the dapper college men when he arrives on the campus. They consider him a specimen of the prehistoric age, as his clothes would indicate. But he comes to the hat at the critical moment in the big game of the year, and he makes good with the fellows, and Abble Nettleton, the pretty proprietor of "The Students I Progressive Cream Puff Parlor." The latest Pathe News and the usual funny comedies will complete the pro gram. Wednesday and Thursday, the Vitagraph Company will present Peggy Hyland and Marc MacDermott in a comedy drama, "The Sixteenth Wife," a brisk and lively photo-adven ture along picturesque lines in which a Southern girl objects to being a six teenth wife in a Turkish harem, and prefers to be a number one wife of a New York newspaperman. WIDE REFORMS IN CITY POLICE [Continued From First Page.] police bureau have adopted a pulley of 'toleration'. By this policy of po lice 'toleration' of vies is meant per mitting commercialized prostitution in cevtain parts of the city without po lice Interference or prosecution. No Records of Honwen "Because the statutes prohibit pros titution and because tlii responsibil ity for Its suppression is by law placed with the police, the buitau keeps no records inilcpting the loca tion of premises sus,itel of being operated as disorderly places, eita though many of the officers frankly admit the existence of houses of pros titution and houses of assignation. They state that the policy of the bu reau with relation 'o these houses is one of toleration so long as they are conducted without disorder. "While no moral survey of tHe city was conducted and no effort made to study the vice conditions in detail, except In the degree necessary to de termine the policy .if the police bu reau, and the effort made to comply with that policy, a tour of observation showed that assignation hotels ar.d houses of prostitution operate t.per.ly and without fear of police interfer ence. "While no attempt was made dur ing the survey to estaolWa the amount of commercialized prostitu tion in the city, such observations as were made indicate that the vice problem in Harrisburg is by no means as serious as it is in many other com munities of approximately the same size and that such vice as does exist with the knowledge and (.onsent cf the officials could easily be sup pressed. "It may be true that the commer cialized houses of prostitution are confined to a definite section, but commercialized prostitutes arc a'so operating in flats, apartments and rooming houses and soliciting upon the main streets or tne crt.v. Officers Deny l\ uoivledg'e "Notwithstanding these cc n l'tions, which are known to almost evry well-informed official, and in.ieeJ to a large number of the citizens of the city, every three months, regularly, members of the police forfe attend a session of the court of quarter ses sions and present to the judge of that court over their !*nitu.-es sworn statements that they have no knowl edge of the existence of any bawdy or tippling and disorderly houses. Even the policemen assigned to the dis trict in which it is freely admitted such houses of prostitution exist and in which such places were observed, filed sworn statements stating that they did not know the names of keep ers or owners or lessees of bawdy or tippling and disorderly homes therein. In fact, an examination of a large number of so-called 'constables' ■ re turns to the court and such records as were available In the bureau of police. If believed, \would indicate 'hat the city was absolutely free of commer cialized vice. It is interesting to note that, for the filing of this quarterly report, which in most cases contains the word •none' in reply to each of the twenty four questions asked, $2.60 Is paid by the county to the officer reporting. Occasionally, however, the court is In formed through these reports that the policeman or constable Is 'suspicious of certain places but unable to secure evidence tending to a conviction' County Asked to Investigate "Without discussing the accuracy of these reports to the court, all of which are made under oath, it should" only be necessary to state that there are houses of prostitution operating openly and without fear of police prosecution in the city of Harrisburg. If the police do not know of the Exist ence of these places, then no further evidence of their inefficiency need be asked for; while. On the other hand, If they do know of their existence and state to the court tnai no such houses exist. It would seem that deception Is being practiced. In cither case, there Is certainly cause for investigation on the part of the prosecuting officials of the county with respect to these reports. "These houses exist and operate In the city because the police officials do not attempt to suppress them. The policemen witness their superiors adopting a policy toward a statute which if any member of the force I adopted Individually would make him liable to dismissal at least. That the police conduct no investigations to secure evidence against such places and that they do no official act which might in any way tend to prove they were conscious of their existence, is surely no defense for falling to sup press places operated In direct viola tion of the statutes. Wholly aside from the fact that the municipal au thorities have no more right to es tablish a policy as to the enforcement of the vice statutes than they would I have to establish a policy with rela tion to any other of the criminal statutes, efficiency can never be fully attained while policemen are required to countenance conditions which they know to be Illegal. Policy of Suppression t "Therefore, it is recommended that the police officials be directed by council to begin a vigorous campaign against the vice conditions which exist in the city, and that the admin istration adopt a policy of suppres sion." Civil Service Recommendations Urging civil service for the chief of police, it is pointed out that by this method the best and most capa ble man will be procured and his removal is to be only for cause and then at public trial. The chief, it is urged, should be uniformed at all times when on duty, and he is urged to . do more outside survey or field work, particularly at night. Politics in the selection of a police chief or officers of the force is frowned upon. The writer of the report calls atten tion to the folly of wholesale remov als upon the coming into office of every new mayor and says that of ficers who owe their appointments to political preferment have nothing to look forward toward but dismis sal and that while on the force they are beholding to those to whom they owe their appointment and are in clined to grant, "courtesies" to their political superiors. A captain and lieutenant are to be the immediate subordinates of the chief and these two are to share night and day duty alternately. Two more sergeants are considered nec essary. Police officers should not.be under 21 or ovr 30 at the time of appointment, with an average age if Pipe smokers! v\ | j Look at "this) 1 How to open the package fi£B Tear off part of th top only, a* shown AA /.J Igjfig?'

Medical care for officers, at least half-pay in case of sickness, and the purchase by the city of at least a part of the equipment are matters called to the attention of Council as advisable and making for efficiency and honesty of administra tion. To Study Conditions The ohicf of police is urged to make a careful study of local condi tions and of his foivo with a view to making recommendations to Coun cil as to the number required to efficiently patrol the city and other changes that may be deemed advis able. Careful training of officers by experienced men is advisable. Detectives are, under the provis ions of the report, to be chosen from the uniformed force and to act as such only so long as they shall con tinue to show their efficiency in this line of work. Defects found in the ■ detective system at the time of the survey have been in large measure remedied. Tho relation of intoxication to! crime is noted and Council is urged to procure a law or court ruling re quiring all saloons to be closed at midnight. The chief of police is to cause patrolmen to report all cases of drunkenness coming under their notice, together with circumstances surrounding the same. Better care of the outlying and business sections is recommended, with bicycle or motorcycle patrol of (the suburban districts, and suburban i booths like those used in New York j city. Two patrol posts instead of one are deemed necessary for the business section of Market street and merchants are asked to aid the po lice by better lighting of their stores at night. The experts who made the survey believe that the police hearings by the mayor should be abolished and placed in the hands of a police mag istrate who should be a lawyer of not less than five years' experience : and who should be elected for ten | years at a suitable salary and re movable only as judges of higher courts are removed. As a saving to the city and to concentrate all of the police work in pne court, all criminal work would be taken away from the city aldermen and given to the mag istrate, whose duty it would be to hold hearings every morning at 8.30 instead of afternoons as at present. It is recognized that to do this would require the passage of a new law by the Legislature but the gain is regarded as sufficient warrant for this effort. The report recognizes the recent improvement In the police hearing room in the old Board of Trade building, but it recommends that "a suitable courtroom be provided in i keeping with the dignity of the pro ceedings." Need of a matron to take j charge of women prisoners and ac company them to and from jail is recognized and separate hearings for [women and hearings for juveniles ! outside of court are recommended. iThe mayor is urged to procure the co-operation of civic agencies to do volunteer probation and welfare | work. j The experts who framed the tra.f --1 fie, section of the report say that JUN£ 6, 1917. Harrlsburg has a real and growing problem which is increasing in seri ousness. Numerous changes are rec ommended and the formation of a traffic squad to be sent to New York for instruction in handling crowds is urged. Such a traction survey as is now made is looked upon w|th favor and up-to-date methods of handling the pedestrian and vehicu-1 lar traffic in the crowded sections are| outlined at length. Among other| [things the storage of trolley freight! on highways is frowned upon and ■ the parking of all automobiles on j the business section of Market j Square 1* regarded as unwise. "The traffic congestion in the bus iness center of the city, especially during the summer months, is such as to indicate that the city has a traffic problem which must be solv ed as speedily as possible," says the report. "No amount of regulation in the sense of mere opening and closing of crossings, in directing traf fic will tend to relieve the condition. There, unquestionably must be estab lished in the congested district cer | tain one-way streets, and the park ing of automobiles along the business section of Market street must be pro-| hibited. Much of the congestion at present is caused by the manner in which the surface carlines have been routed. No detailed survey or study of traffic conditions was made ex cept as they related to police regu lation. The conditions observed, however, pointed to the need of a detailed study of traffic experts, in co-operation with the managers of the street railway companies, to pro vide the city with a plan for rout ing the streetcar lines so as to make possible the establishment of one way streets and safety tfones, and to relieve vehicular congestion. Pend ing such a study, Council should pro hibit by ordinance the parking of vehicles in the business sections of Market street, and the chief of polico should prohibit the use of the public streets by the street railway com panies for the storage of "freight, ! which is now loaded and unloaded Sat certain points in the business sec tion of the city. Action should be taken at once to prevent the use of | the public square as a station for loading freight." It is impossible, the report holds, "Bob" Boyer's AT YOUR SERVICE 7.30 A. M. Until 8 P.M.

Dewberry Street 1 No Advance In Prices Your Patronage Will Be Appreciated to have the best results In the police department so long as politics plays a prominent part in the selection s-nd removal of officers and officials. The records of the local department were found to be poor and incomplete and this, it is SRid, is due. largely to the numerous changes In recent year*. Crime records were found to be below the average in Harrisburg for cities of its size, but the experts who framed the report hasten to say that jthis is by no means due to police i efficiency. In support of this it Is ; pointed out that of seventy-five bur- Iglaries reported in 1916, thirty-four, or forty-five per cent., brought no results from the police; out of thlrty iwo others two arrests were made, with partial recovery of property, and in eight there were arrests but no recovery of property. On the oth er hand six murders were commit ted and all of the murderers cap tured. The detective bureau report ed $20,000 worth of loot recovered from burglars, but the report says there is no record to show that this is accurate. The police successes, say the experts, were below the standard. Deep Curved TORIC I.ENIEI are the bent. Why wear flatT J.S.
