8 iU. S. RAILROAD MISSION SOLVES I RUSS PROBLEMS Conditions Not So Bad Con sidering Heavy War Traffic fTO PROLONG TRIP Mainly Interested Now in Building Shop to Make Necessary Repairs By Associated Press Petrograd, June 20.—The American Railways Commission, which la now In Petrograd, proposes to make a wider examination of Russia's rail road resources than was first contem plated and a trip through the south la now being considered. The com mission is confident that great Im provements are practicable, even wjth the existing deficiency in rolling stock. The immediate problem Is con gestion and the commission believes that even under present conditions traffic can be increased more than threefold. The Americans are somewhat skep tical, It is believed, about the possi bility of managing the lines on the principles put forward by N. V. NeK rasoff, minister of communications, •who la accompanying the commission. In a statement given to The Associ ated Press by M. Mltlnsky, director of the Department of Material, warm appreciation was expressed for the work already done by the Americans. M. Mltlnsky, who met the commission on Its arrival at Vladivostok, said: Tracka Are Fair "Mr. Stevens and his colleagues found the tracks not so bad as ex pected. they being of similar construc tion throughout without any particu lar bad spots. In regard to the roll ing; atcck, they also found the condi tion of the cars relatively favorable. The work of the Americans in Vladi vostok was admirable and they are now engaged In planning and putting together shops. On the spot they de cided that the facilities at Vladivos tok were inadequate to take care of the expected delivery of big Amer ican orders and the construction of two big piers for ships drawing forty flve feet was decided upon and sketches made. I immediately ob tained the consent of Petrograd and the work has already begun and will be finished within three months. "At Harbin, Tehita. Krasnoyarsk, Irkutsk and also at Vyatka in Euro pean Russia, thorough examinations were made, chiefly from the stand point of finding the most suitable lo cations for repair shops. We will act on the advice of the commissioners. Good Bridges "The commission was much Im pressed by our big bridges, particu larly over the Sungari, the Yenesei and at Novomoskovsk. We met en route the chiefs of the technical and traffic department and found our working personnel inclined to cor dially co-operate with the Americans. One proof of which was that the train made quicker time under peace condi tions. We made it a rule to have no secrets from the commission, and, al though no program is fixed, I believe the Americans will stay as long as •we want them. In my opinion that means a very long time."

MAY ESTABLISH WIDE CURVE TO VIADUCT Planning Commission Con siders Plan to Widen Chest- | nut Street at Fourth A tentative plan to widen the south side of Chestnut strtet at Fourth street and establish a wide curve at the approach to the Mulborry etroet 1 brldgo was submitted to tho City Planning Commission thin morning by Samuel Flshman, ownor of tho properties at Fourth and Chestnut streets. Mr. Flshman's plan, If approved Anally, would bo to sot back tho house line several feot and wldon the street, ellminato tho sharp turn at Fourth and Chestnut streets to the approach and make a wide curve there. Mr. Flshman e&ld he will be willing to give tho necessary space for this and will ask the right to construct store fronts to the side walk on the west side of the bridge at Fourth street. Would Widen Street Eventually, city officials believe, If the plan is accepted and carried out, Chestnut street would probably be widened from Fourth to Second streets. No action was taken by the Planning Commission, but a more thorough Investigation of the scheme will be made. Mr. Fishman is planning to erect a large garage in Chestnut street and 1 at the corner of the property which he has acquired intends to have ] stores constructed. The improve- 1 pient will be one of the biggest busi- j ness developments in that section of the city in years. Before adjourning the Planning Commission approved ordinances for street changes at Clover ly. Y.M.C.A. Committee Makes Plans to Raise Money A meeting of the newly-appointed finance committee of the Y. M. C. A. ' was held yesterday afternoon in the association rooms. Second and Lo cust streets. Preliminary plans for financing the proposed improve ments were discussed. It was decided not to wage an extensive campaign for the neces sary money. A membership cam paign will be started sometime in i October. Charles W. Burtnett has been selected as chairman of the committee in charge of the cam paign. He will announce his com mittee within the next several weeks. CIVIL SERVICE UNDER NEW LAW Continued from First Page days' absence, signed the bill this morning. Provisions of the Act The law is intended to take the police department out of politics. The only criticism that has been offered to It locally refers to that provision which requires that all po licemen now in the, service shall remain therein without the neces sity of being examined and remov- 1 able only after charges preferred by the superintendent of public affairs and a hearing before city council. It Is held that some of the men now In the service are not up to the mark, but that now it will be next to impossible to get rid of them so long as they remain within the strict interpretation of the law. The civil service board, which is to serve without pay, is: charged with making such regulations as may be necessary to put the law into effect. It is to be made up of four mem bers, including one physician and one educator, to be ele-'ted by council for four-year terms arranged in such a way that after the first election one commissioner's term ends each year. All of the employes of the depart ment come under the act, from the chief to the Janitor, and the appoint ments to the force are to be made upon recommendation by the board through the superintendent of pub lic affairs and upon confirmation by council. When a vacancy occurs the three high men on Cie examination lists are to be referred to the super intendent, who3e duty it will be to choose one of them for confirmation. In case anv are not confirmed or are turned back by the superintendent, these are to be restored to thel places on the waiting lists. Soldiers and sailors of the United States are to be given preference in the ex aminations and appointments. Re movals cannot be made for political reasons ancj only upon charges pre ferred bv the superintendent of pub lic affairs and after a hearing be fore council. Appointments to the police force heretofore have been made largely for political reasons, and this the Bureau of Municipal Research in its recent survey of Harrisburg police conditions held to be responsible for deficiencies in the force. The sur vey report strongly recommends civil service. ON TOUR FOR UNCLE SAM A. Lincoln Goldbacker, who is touring the state in an effort to persuade young men to rally to the colors, addressed two open-air meet ings in the central part of the city this afternoon. He will address an other meeting this evening. A Drunkard's Plea. Tells How He Was Released from the Bondage of Alcoholic Slavery Leading Druggists Guarantee neaulta My heart bleeds for every drunk ard, and I sincerely wish I could meet them face to face and tell them how I was saved from the clutches of the demon drink. If this were possible thousands could be saved from drunk ards' graveß. Yes, my appetite for drink was conpletely destroyed. Here Is the prescription that saved me. One prepared lescum powder twice a day in coffee, tea, or any liquid. Almost everything had been tried on me without results, so don't experiment with anything but tescum powders, then you will not be disappointed. Since the powder is colorless, odor less and tasteless it can be given secretly. It is intended to destroy the terrible craving. The results are so Startling that druggists are refund ing the money if it fails. (See money refund guarantee, which druggists are authorized to give when above prescription is filled.) There is ab solutely no risk on your part, so you have everything to gain and nothing to lose. Mothers and sisters are now able to cure their loved ones of this terrible habit with no expense if It fails. If druggists were not confident of succeas they could not afford to make such an offer. Have the prescription filled to-dav before you forget it. BRITISH WOMEN WIN LONG FIGHT FOR THE BALLOT House of Commons Endorse Principle by an Over whelming Majority By Associated Fran London, June 20.—The principle of woman auffrago wu adoptod In the Houao of Commons last night by the overwhelming mii.lorlty of 880 votes. Sir Frodorlck Banbury's amendment against tho proposal waa rejected by 885 to 66. The entlro ovenlng was occupied In debating the Banbury amondmont, which called for the emitting of the sections of the bill giving suffrage to women. The debate, while showing the existence of a still considerable opposition to the reform, revealed no new argument. Muny speakers sup ported the amendment on the ground that the present parliament Is too stale to possess an authentic man date to derfl with such an Important question. Others appeared to fear that granting a vote to women would lead eventually to women being elected to sit In parliament. The argument that a largo body of women was Indifferent to tho cause was em ployed by several members, who ad vocated a female pleblcclte. Socialist Support Ramsay Mac Donald, the Socialist representative, strongly supported giving women the vote, as did Lord Hugh Cecil. Sir Joseph Compton- Rlckett, president of the National Council of Evangelical Free Churches, said that giving the vote to women meant their entrance into parlia ment, the government nnd diplomatic service, but he urged the house to grant the concession ungrudgingly to the women, who had bravely helped the nation in a time of difficulty. Sir Stuart Coates, head cf the great Anglo-American thread firm, quoted opinions from the United States to show that granting the women the vote had proved a failure in those states which adopt it. Lord Robert said one of the main reasons why he supported woman suffrage was that it made for con tentment with the government and created the sense that the people were governing themselves. For that reason It was Indefensible to per retrate a system under which half the population was not represented in parliament. He raid it would be criminal to disregard the voice of women in post-war problems. Open Bids For New Lymsville Concrete Bridge County Commissioners at noon to day opened bids for the new con crete bridge to bo buil-t over the Swatara creek at Lyonsville, near Hershey. Proposals were submitted as follows for the entire work: Paul D. Kauffman, $27,500; Stucker Brothers Construction Company, $26,890; Ferro Concrete Company, $27,920; G. W. Ensign, Inc., $33,- 307.31. Extra charges for additional excavation or concrete work, if nec essary, were submitted also. The Commissioners adjourned aft er opening the bids and met again late in the afternoon. It will require about 150 working days to complete the construction. Norman W. Ream Elected Senior Vice-Commander of Spanish War Veterans NORMAN W. REAM Norman W. Ream, 2128 North Sixth street, who was unanimously elected senior vice-commander of the Department of Pennsylvania, United Spanish War Veterans, is one of the most active patriotic workers in the city. He took a leading part in the re cent patriotic parade and has per suaded many young men to enlist. He is trying to get a commission from Uncle Sam for himself. Mr. Ream is past commander of Harrisburg camp, No. 8, and last year gained forty new members for the organization. He was appointed a national aide-de-camp byCom mander-in-Chief L. C. Dyer. During the Spanish war Mr. Ream served with the Second U. S. Cavalry. He I took a prominent part in the con vention here. One woman who used this pre scription on her husband says: "It Js going on the fourth week since he has touched a drop of anything in the form of liquor or used tobacco of any kind. Be seems already like a different man. Tescum has gained a wonderful enthusiast in me. I re gard it as u Godsend. Just think, I have never seen my husband sober for more than 48 hours in years and now it is going on one month since he had his last drink." Another one gratefully writes: "I have used tescum powders on iny hus band and find It one of the greatest cures in this world. He hasn't taken a drink for almost five weeks and says he never will. My home does not seem like the same place and life seems worth living. I hope thous ands gain what I have. This has been a good new year for me without drink in my home." NOTE A leading druggist when shown the above article said: "Yes tescum Is a very remarkable remedy for the drink habit. It 1B harmless, wonderfully effective and Is having an enormous sale. I advise everyone who wishes to destroy the liquor habit to give It a trial." It Is sold In this city by J. Nelson Clark and all other flrst-clasa druggists. WORKERS TONED FOR START OF DRIVE Continued from First Page Harrisburg and Dauphin eounty aro Interested as they have rarely been before; and that he expects great things In the drive which begins to morrow, so far as actual work is eoneerned, and ends Baturday noon. Colonel Grow Here To-night Colonel Malcolm Grow, American attache to the Russian army, will be one of the speakers at the opening dinner In the Board of Trade amphi theater this evening, Colonel Grow has an Interesting story to tell of Red Cross operations, and Inasmuch as he got his Impressions at first hand, on the battlefields of Europe, lilb talk will bo particularly timely, Composition of Oi uanlauuioii The organization which has charge ol Harrlaburg's campaign Is com pesod of five divisions. In each di vision there ure four teams making twenty In all. Each team Is com posed of a dozen porkers, so that, all told, count,:ig tho executive com mittee, there are almost 260 men and women of Harrisburg In tho line-up. But this figure does not Include the entire organization In the county. Steelton has a small army at work, The towns of upper Dauphin county and along the West Bhore have their own organization. The canvass tho remalndor of the week will be u lino-toothed one. Every.seutlon of tho county will bo vlsltecf. Tho campaign Is offlce-to offlce, house-to-house, and, generally speaking, catch-as-catch can, Longest Day In Yenr The drive for money starts on tho longest day In the year; and, inas much aa the teams will all put in the longest day they have put In for months, the purse for tho iirst day Is expected to be an unusually big one. Marysvlllo at Work Marysvllle promises great things for the Red Cross. The Rev. Messrs. Furman, Bldlack and Wiggins, with the assistance of E. B. Lelby, have formed a committee which will di rect affairs. The remainder of the week will see the members of this committee, with volunteer workers, making a house-to-house canvass. End Drive on Sunday The Enola drive, which is under the direction of 8. G. Hepford, sec retary of the P. R. R. Y. M. C. A., will end Sunday, when the clergymen of the town will conclude the com mittee's efforts with special Red Cross sermons. West Falrvlew Too In West Falrvlew the committee In charge of the campaign consists of Dr. S. I. Cadwallader, 8. H. Nei dig and J. L. Hawbecker; and here, too, great things are expected. New Bloomtteld Busy Former Judge James W. Shull is greatly Interested In Red Cross work in New Bloomfield, and with him In the campaign for funds are asso ciated James Alter, H. B. Bhively and G. E. Harris. New Bloomtleld, in its usual progressive manner, will make a large appropriation. No Sunday Collections in Newport The plan to make Red Cross col lections in Newport Sunday has been abandoned. The original plan was to take up these collections in tho churches. The Rev. William Dor wart, F. P. Witmer and C. W. Lelir, executive committee, are forming teams which will canvass Newport, and as a result there will be no Sun day collections in the churches. In all of these towns enthusiasm is high over the Red Cross drive. William Jennings, a member of the local executive committee, said this morning that during his visits to each of them yesterday and to-day he found the committees hard at work. Red Cross Unhampered The Red Cross is unhampered by Federal red tape, and that is one reasop why it is able to accomplish so much more than a similar gov ernment organization could accom plish. The Wall Street Journal this morning said: "To those numberless inquirers who cannot understand why the Red Cross work should not be supported by Government funds, rather than by public subscription, the best an swer is the insignia of the Red Cross. "This is a cross of red tape. In other words, it double crosses red tape, and no one needs to be inform ed on the matter of Government red tape. "Under Government control the same thing might happen to Red Cross that has happened to other preparations for war. If left to the devious processes of red tape it is obvious that our wounded might be left exposed and uncared for long before Washington could untangle the skein and get .hospital units on the ground. The starving might starve and the unclothed might per ish before the necessary signatures could be secured on the necessary orders and the necessary facilities sent to the necessary points. "There is no initiative in Govern ment work. Every matter must take a normal course, go through the usual channels, the usual official for malities must not be ignored, and everything must be done according to the official code of ethics, though the dying die. "The American Red Cross as an independent organization will have to contend with none of this. Ini tiative and energy will mark the work of the organization. "If tho public contributes the nec essary money there will be no lack of facilities when needed. Delays will not be the order of the day when action is most necessary. Supplies or funds can be sent promptly where they are needed, and they will both be needed in shiploads. "Is there an American who wishes to take the responsibility for a life that is lost because there were no funds, no supplies or no equipment on hand to Bave it?" Bell Company's Sign •The Bell Telephone Company last evening displayed a large electric sign on its Market Square building, calling attention to the drive for SIOO,OOO. The Bowman Company to-morrow will place a large sign on the mar quise of its store, in Market street, and the Harrisburg Light and Power Company is arranging to display a large electric cross on the Common wealth Hotel corner, Market Square. Quakers Aid Red Cross The Harrisburg group of the So ciety of Friends, or Quakers, are "doing their bit" for the Allies by helping In the $100,000,000 Red Cross drive. Dr. J. J. Mullowney, of the State Department of Health, will make a personal solicitation of every member of the rociety. By a special ruling of the govern ment, the Society of Friends, whose principles are opposed to war, are to be allowed to do reconstruction and relief work in devastated areas in co-operation with the Red Cross and under the supervision and protection of the government. In this way Quakers are enablted to do invaluable service. Haverford College, one of the lead ing Quaker institutions of the coun try, has been turned into a training camp for young men who are to serve in the American Friends serv ice. One hundred students will leave soon for France. Later it is planned to send a hundred young women. They will serve without pay.

K—' Thero la likely to b# a big sur plua of all manner of perishable vegetables this summer and the only hope of putting these to good use lies In canning and preserving; ac cording to Robert J. Walton, pro prietor of one of the largest fruit and vegetable gardens In Pennsyl vania, located Just east of Hum melstown. "Truck gardeners have out large acreages of beans, peas, vegetables, tomatoes, beets and other vegetables of the kind," Bald Mr. Walton to a TELEGRAPH reporter today, "and added to this are the hundreds of family gardens in Harrlsburg and vicinity. Already lettuce and rad ishes are a drug on the market. The same may be true of peas, beans, corn, tomatoes and beets, later in the season, unless measures are taken to preserve or can the sur plus. "I have reports of a canning fac tory project for Harrisburg. X be lieve that would be a good move and that large quantities of vege tables of all kinds would be avail able for such an Industry. The one trouble might be a scarcity of tin cans, and this also may have some effect on home canning. There are ways, however, of overcoming this. Few people know that peas dried are nearly if not quite as good as peas canned, and the percentage of loss by spoiling is much less. I notice that the TELEGRAPH has arranged for free distribution of a book of canning instructions. I am glad of that. It is good, constructive news paper work. Every housewife should have a copy. Beans in Salt "Speaking of preserving without the necessity of cans or jars, I ven ture tb say that few persons know how easy it is to keep green beans for winter use so that they will be as good to eat as the day they came from the vine. Take a large earthen ware crock or a keg that won't leak, put in a layer of salt, then a layer of beans, then a layer of salt, and press firmly with the hands, but not so hard as to injure the beans. Re peat with alternate layers of salt and beans until the crock is full or the supply exhausted. Place a wooden covering on the top and weigh it down with a stone. Don't use any water or vinegar. Keep in a cool place and use as desired in the winter, soaking the beans over night in cold water before cooking. Beans ought to be so plentiful this summer that bushels of them could and should be preserved in this fashion. Beets, Also "Beets may be preserved in this way, too, except that a small quan tity of diluted vinegar should be added to make brine. Corn, beans and vegetables in general may be dried or evaporated, according to the nature of the vegetable, and in structions how to do this may be had at small cost. "By canning, preserving and dry ing I believe a vast economy can be effected this summer and the cost of living materially reduced next winter." To Remodel Property For Apartment House A building permit was issued this morning to John Myers, contractor, for remodeling the brick house at 612 North Second street, owned by Mrs. Sarah J. Boyer.

At present the commandery has re sources amounting to nearly SB,OOO, and a membership of J77. To Attend Hervleea Sunday evening the commandery, with other sister commanderles, will attend St. John's Day services at St. Matthew's Lutheran Church, where the pastor, the Rev.

When the call was made to Jill the vacancies in the Guard the young men of the city flocked to the Armory. When a call was made for a motor truck company the entire quota of men was secured In less than a week. Tills District Leads This district which Includes 28 other counties has led the State lrv the number of recruits secured. Dauphin county while It has not been the leading county in tho district has furnished a large number. Btnce April 1 all enlistment applications have been filed according to coun ties, so correct figures could be ob tained to deduct that number of the apportionment for the draft. Enlisting Units According to Captain Harrell, practically one man from every 200 will be called for service. Dauphin county hks almost secured that quota and with the number who will bo secured for the complete units to be recruited in this city the total will be increased by several hundred. All men who are recruited for the in fantry units will be retained in the unit as recruited and sent direct to Gettysburg to be trained. The units when trained will still be retained intact when sent into actual service. This latter move it is believed by recruiting officers will be one of the biggest inducements to enlistment that has been offered. The men will be in easy reach of their relatives at home where they can be visited at any time. It is possible that the Harrisburg newspapers may each recruit a unit for the training camp at Gettysburg. At the present time the men at Gettysburg are short of non commissioned officers and the young men who enlist at this time and de vote themselves to the study of army tactics stand an excellent opportunity of rapid advancement. Positions that men formerly served 15 or 30 years for in the regular army are now being obtained in as many days bv the men who go to the routine of the army as they have worked for advancement in civil life. Keeping Historical Record During "the Civil War very few men were drafted from this county, enlistments being higher here than in most counties of the State. If Harrisburg is to maintain the record the boys of 'fit made possible enlist ment under the rulings of the War Department will gave the county from the first draft. General O'Neil, Colonel Trexler and the Mayor of Allentown are at present active in recruiting a unit similar to the Harrisburg ones to keep Lehigh county in the same list if possible. It is believed by the recruiting officers that similar units will be raised in other towns of the State.

Highway Commissioner Lynch may confer with Mayor Miller and Captain Thompson of the traffic police squad on the advisability of temporarily stopping parking in Third street be tweon Market and Walnut streets, to prevent serious congestion in the downtown section. For months Third street traffic has been causing almost continuous trouble for the traffic de partment. With the digging up of Walnut street to replace steampipes, and the building work, now under way, serious congestion may result. Commissioner Lynch said, unless spe cial rules are adopted. William M. Breitinger With H. J. Heinz Co. The H. J. Heinz Company, the big preserving firm, to-day announced the appointment of William M. Breitinger, of this city, as chief of the Harrlsburg office. Mr. Breiting er will have charge of credits, col lections and accounts, but not of sales.
