12 KEEP HOMES COOL AND SAVE COAL, NEW HOOVER PLAN Asks Housekepers to Reduce i Temperatures at Least Five Per Cent. By Associated Press Washington, Sept. 13.—Through the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. Dr. H. A. Garfield, fuel ad- J ministrator, has appealed to Ameri- j can business to assist in the conser vation of coal. Dr. Garfield's appeal j appears to-day in the official publica- j t!on of the chamber as follows: "It Is the duty of every American j to save coal this winter. If every ! family will save a ton of coal if | every industrial plant will save ten per cent, of the coal it uses, which j ten per cent, it now wastes, the coal i problem will be largely solved. There Is plenty of coal in the ground but ] there Is a shortage of cars and of labor at the mines. "If every family will reduce the' temperature of its house at least five 1 degrees, it will mean that millions of tons of coal will be saved and the health of the nation will be improved. This is not a hardship; it is a health measure, for most Americans live in superheated houses. Mnch Fuel Wted "The coal supply can be conserved by more economical methods of firing, | by sifting ashes, by watching the fur- I nace dour and by heating only the ! ports of the house in use. To do this j is a public duty. If the householders 1 of the country save one ton out of | twelve, they will save ten million j tons of coal. The bureau of mines ■ states that many plants waste as [ much as fifty per cent, of the coal 1 they buy through unscientific firing! and inadequate equipment. "The solution of the coal problem j lies largely with the American peo ple. The Government cannot save 1 coal for them; they must save it for themselves. They must not rely I wholly upon price-filing, -nor upon the already-overtaxed transportation systems of the country, nor upon the effort to increase shipment, nor upon I the apportionment of coal, nor upon j the enforcement of the law. All must co-operate. The consumer of coal in every house and factory can co- I operate most effectively by the econ- I omies suggested." TRATX HITS AUTO TRUCK Waynesboro, Pa., Sept. 13. A large motor delivery truck of the ■Waynesboro Steam Laundry was struck by a Western Maryland train at a crossing at Higlitleld. Md., yes -1 onlay afternoon and badly damaged. The driver. A. S.

HABJRISBURG TETT.EOR>JPH KING'S BODY IS EXHUMED AFTER TWO CENTURIES Autopsy Performed on Great Warrior to Settle His torical Point By Associated Vress Stockholm, Sept. 13.—An autopsy on King Charles XII, Sweden's warrior king killed in battle almost two hundred years ago, to determine whether the shot through the tem ples, which caused his death, came 1 from the enemy's lines or from an assassin amojig his own men, has just bten made here in an effort to solve one of the mysteries of history. If the bullet entered the right tem ple it would indicate that It came from Fredrikshald fortress before which the king's forces lay entrench ed, while a shot from the opposite direction would show that it was tired by a traitor in his own ranks. The scientists who are conducting the Investigation have not yet an nounced their conclusions and will not until they have made an effort to fit together the pieces of bone taken from the wound, but the indi cations are that the bullet entered the right temple and camfe therefore from the enemy. The wound on the right side is comparatively small as if made by an entering shot, while the left temple was blown entirely away and the left side of the skull shattered as would be caused by the missile as it emerged. I.aurcl Wreath Intact The king's body was examined in the old Knights Church where it lay in a simple coffln. It was cover?d with a linen shroud with the amis at the side, the fingers meeting across the waist, the hands encased in fad ed yellow gloves. On the head was a laurel wreath placed there in Janu ary, 1719, the day he was buried. Those who viewed the dead king were struck by his masterful coun tenance still bearing through all the years the look of a leader of men. Wound Examined The wound, covered by patches of linen, was found to consist of a cleft in the skull beginning at the left corner of the left eye and extend ing at angle of about 45 degrees up ward to the right for about three Inches. A triangular piece of bone loosened by the bullet, was still held in place by the skin. It was marked by a deep depression. According to contemporary ac counts of the king's death, he entered the trenches the evening of Decem ber 11, 1718, and went to a point op posite where the Danes had a bat tery. With him were the engineer who had planned the trenches and Siquier, the king's aid-de-camp. As Charles lay on the parapet of the trench his hea dand shoulders expos ed. an enemy cannon fired a load of grapeshot and the king fell dead. No question that a grapeshot was the cause of his death ever arose un til a year later when Siquier. while In a delirium of fever, said that he had murdered the king. When he recov ered he was horrified at his ravings and denied until his death that he had killed the king. He died in pov erty. Voltaire, who investigated the affair, reached the conclusion that tho fatal shot could not have been fired by Siquier. The murder theory, how ever, once started, has persisted down to the present time. m — Sneering Reference to Republican Candidate Arouses Twelfth Warders Nonpartisanship in municipal cam paigns has become more or less of a joke. Only the other evening an alleged nonpartisan meeting was at tended by Democrats exclusively and It Is a matter of frequent comment that the Democratic machine in Har risburg and its newspaper mouth piece is constantly urging Demo cratic candidates as ideal nonparti san selections for the people. Na turally Republicans are resenting this palpable partisan game, espe cially in the Twelfth ward, where there is a little contest between two candidates—a Democrat and a Re publican—for the short term in City Council caused by the resignation of Samuel F. Dunkle. The Democrat Is Frederick L. Morganthaler, for mer city chairman, and the Repub lican is John Marks, a railroad ma chinist, who is making a lively cam paign. The commissioner selected for the short term will have a part in the important work of preparing the annual budget. A slight reference in the morning organ of the Democratic boss to Mr. Marks has made his friends so in dignant that they have now taken off their coats and rolled up their sleeves in his support. They de clare that he has been for thirty two years in the railroad service, that he has been a foreman, that one of his prized possessions is an ap prentice agreement when he began his work at the old Foundry and Machine Works on Allison's Hill un der M. E. Hershey and that sneering comment upon his occupation as a "work distributer" will increase his supporters. Harrisburg Marine Scores as Marksman Coming rapidly to the front through his ability as a rifleman, Harry A. Bowers, of Harrisburg. has qualified as a marksman In the 4'nited States Marine Corps. His name is on the official list of those who succeeded at the shootir.g trials, held recently on the range at Port Royal, 8. C. Young Bowers, who Is the son of Mrs. Florence Brutschin. of 5 North Thirteenth street. Harrisburg. answer ed the call for volunteers on May 19 last, at New York City. He decided to serve with the United States Ma rines because their duties .are divided between service at sea and on land, and are so varied that the life never becomes monotonous. Bight from the start he has made good and has an ex cellent chance to win his way to the top. Federal Officers Raid Scott Nearing's Home Toledo, Ohio. Sept. 13. Federal authorities last night raided the home of Professor Scott Nenring in search of literature, which they said may have been used in a campaign of op position to the Army conscription law. Professor Nearing is a lecturer on socialistic questions. The authorities Invaded the head quarters of the Industrial Workers of the World. Nearing came here two years ago from the University of Pennsylvania. WAYNESBORO COUPLE WED Waynesboro. Pa., Sept. 13. —Miss Beatrice Gordon, daughter of Mrs. Dora Gordon, and Frank Holtimap, of Waynesboro, were married at Harrisburg yesterday. The young couple left for Wellsvtlle, N. Y.. where they will live. EXPLAIN FAILURE TO TURN ON HEAT Extensive Improvements Arc Being Made to Plant; Will Be Modern Improvements which will mean a great deal In point of service to the people of Harrisburg are being rushed at the plant of the Harrisburg Light and Power Company at Ninth and Walnut streets. In an Interview C. M. Kaltwasser. general manager for the power com pany, explained to-dny the difficulties which have confronted officials and which have piVvented the turning on of city steam during the recent cold snap. More than SIOO,OOO is being ex pended in Improvements and when these improvements are completed the Ninth street plant of the com pany will b one of the most modern in the country. Automatic stokers will replace hand feeding; a great concrete stack will carry away the fine cinders, and concrete runways will carry off the ashes that accumu late beneath the boilers. Valves Not Here The present delay Ip providing steam is due to the failure of a New York concern to furnish specially constructed valves which will be used in the ash pits. These valves will be set in place in a mold of concrete, and should be ready for use within three or four days after their receipt in Harrisburg. The valves were or dered several months ago and prompt delivery was promised. Then came the war and the factory turned its attention to the manufacture of sup plies needed by the government. A wire was received yesterday saying that the valves may be expected here this week, and although the weather man does not predict another cold snap soon, should the thermometer take a sudden drop within the com ing week the power company will be ready to supply steam heat. Among the improvements under way at the present time is an im mense concrete stack, which, when completed, will tower 225 feet above the ground. This monster stack is 18 feet in diameter at the base and 12 feet in diameter at the top. It rests on a foundation 19 feet deep. In height its only competitor in Har risburg will be the dome of the Capi tol building. A shortage of help and the unfortunate accident in which a concrete worker lost JI:S life in a fall when the stack was but partially completed have been elements in de laying the work. Because of the peculiar nature of the concrete used, the structure grows slowly, seven feet a day being the average. The stack will not be completed until the last of the month. To Kliniinate Cinders Residents in the neighborhood of the plant have made complaints in the past that fine cinders have settled over everything in that section and the stack is being erected at a cost of $23,000 to eliminate this nuisance. Three automatic stokers are being installed at a large outlay of money. These machines are a comparatively new invention, but have been care fully tried out and are a complete success. While the automatic fea ture will replace several laborers, it is possible to obtain a greatly in creased capacity from each boiler. Coal is evenly spread over the floor of the stoker and Is slowly carried beneath the boilers. The coal is con sumed by the time it reaches the rear of the boiler and the ashes are automatically dumped isto a pit. Last year several workmen were overcome by fumes while at work in the basement of the plant. The new,system of handling the ashes will make a repetition of this hap pening impossible. Gases which ac cumulate will be carried through a large chute into the base of the giant stack. The ash pits will be flushed with water, supplied from a great tank, and the ashes will be carried in a cement runway to a concrete re ceiving vault outside the building. The special valves are required to make possible the operation of this system. U. S. to Build Destroyer Fleet at Philadelphia Philadelphia, Sept. 13. Advices from Washington last night told of the award of a contract for fifteen de stroyers to cost nearly $19,000,000 to the Cramp Shipbuilding Company. These destroyers, of the same model as the eight now building at Cramps, are of the newest type being rushed to completion as the best weapon against the submarines.

PA DETERMINED TO BREAK UP AUTO LAW INFRACTIONS Police Department Apt to Surprise Offenders With Arrests and Heavy Fines Chief of Police Wetzel and the other officers of the department are determined to break up the constant violations of the ordinance regulating the operation of automobiles, trucks and motorcycles In Harrisburg. So strong has become the public senti ment against the constant infraction of this regulation that the police de partment feels it has the backing of the community. As many as ten and fifteen arrests have been made in a single day recently and stiff fines and reprimands are gradually having a tendency to 'reduce the number of offenses. Chief Wetzel and his officers are going to insist more and more upon observance of the rules for vehicular traffic in the city and some rank of fenders are likely to be surprised one of these days with something more than the usual reprimand and fine. Also several speed fiends who are known generally throughout Harris burg are going to be painfully sur prised one of these days unless they get wise to what is in store for them. Cutout Nuisance The most serious complaints are the result of the cutout nuisance. Many of these offenders are motor cyclists and it is understood a list of names is being prepared so that there tray be a general raid upon this class of nolsemakers presently. Since the motorization of the fire department there is also complaint that returning; from fires there 1* en tirely too much speeding and abso lutely no excuse for the use of the cutouts on the big machines. It is contended by citizens generally that the fire companies should set an ex ample in this respect inasmuch as they represent directly the authority of the municipality. Officers of Pa.

Logan, commander of the Second Brigade of the Pennsylvania division now en cuniped at Augusta, Ga., will come here to attend the funeral of Ad jutant General Stewart. Major Gen eral C. M.
