Predictions which have been heard about the State Capitol for more than a year that Thomas D. . Beidleman, father of Senator Ed- j ward E. Beidleman. of Dauphin j county, would lose his place as as- i sistant foreman of the Capitol park 1 because of the Governor's displeas- i tire with Senator Beidleman's course, j were verified to-day when it became ■ known that Mr. Beidleman had been notified that he would be no longer | connected with the state service on, December 15. When the speakership contest was on last winter there were rei*.rts that Mr. Beidleman would be dis- j missed and they have been revived 1 every now and then as the Gover-1 nor became aroused. Mr. Beidleman was not given any reason. He was j just dropped. When inquiry was made of George A. Shreiner, superintendent of pub- | lie grounds and buildings, to-day he said Mr. Beidleman had been given notice. "Was he dropped because of any I neglect of his work?" was asked. "No! Now, I have nothing more; to say," replied the superintendent, i The dismissal is regarded at the, Capitol as purely political and there j were rumors to-day that more Har- I risburg men would be dropped in I various departments. A list of men | recommended for decapitation is un- i derstood to have been prepared at the Department of Public Printing; ami Binding and forwarded to the j Governor. William P. Orr, 87, Dies at Home Here William P. Orr. 87 years old. died j last . veiling at the home of his son [ John C. Orr. of 1933 North Third i street, after a long illness.

Rabbjs Plan to Look After Interest of Jewish Troops More than a score of Jewish rabbis are attending an assembly of rabbis I from all parts of the United S-tat.-s and Canada to select, if possible, one day in the week to worship, and to devise plans for aiding the Jewish soldiers in the service of the nation. At present. Jewish congregations ob serve either Saturday or Sundav as a < day of worship, and an efTort will be made to unite the congregations for a universal Sabbath day. COAL CAMPAIGN IS SPREADING Other Divisions Are Keeping Shovel Records 011 Vari-< ous Trains I Additional equipment has been ] added to nearly every engine on the ! main line of the Pennsylvania rail | road. It consists mostly of a lead ] pencil and a paper pad. On some locomotives a small slate dangle from the firemen's side of the engine cab. This new equipment is a part of the coal conservation campaign in progress on the Pennsy. According to gossip In railroad circles to-day, firemen and engine- I men, during the ensuing thirty days. | will keep a record of coal used on | I various trips. Each shovel of coal i will be chalked up. Reports will be ! made out showing the mileage, num- j ■ ber of train, cars and style of equip-; ! ment, stops, slowups and the total j I number of shovels of coal used. Kilo All Reports These reports it is said will be I turned-over to the road foremen of ! engines, and also the superintendents ' of each division. After a fair test has I been given each run. the reports will I lie looked over and an estimate made as to the lowest average amount of I coal necessary on each trip and for I every train. When estimates have been com ! pleted the general superintendent twill hear of the good work. It is the j general belief of the officials that there will be a spirited and interest ing contest between firemen and en | ginemen for new records in con ; sumption of coal. j This plan to save coal originated |on the Middle division where daily | records have been kept for some | time. Recent records made between ; Altoona and Harrisburg have arous ed much interest. At first the record of ISO shovels was questioned, but special duty men kept tabs on the 1 tests and the figures are officially j correct. New Merion Station on Pennsy Main Line Opens Merion at last has realized the ob- j ; ject for which the civic association i of the Main Line suburb has been j campaigning so ardently. The new | j railroad station is finished and has been opened to patrons of the Penn- | i sylvania. The passenger station is on the j south side of the tracks, because ( 1 there is a greater demand for tickets 1 I by persons traveling into Philadel- j j phia than by passengers for the west. I On the north side the new post | office has been erected to permit j homebound residents to call for their mail in the evening as soon as they leave their trains. Both the build ings are said by railroad officials to ' !■ the handsomest of tlicir kind on ' 1 the Main Line system. New Order Sends AH Engines Away For Repairs Marysville, Pa., Dec. 4.

The only work that the I motive power men will have to do j will be to look after the local yard | engines. W. R. Houser Made Vice President of Oil Company The name of W. R.

And Mrs. Fiske very patri otically expressed her mind to the negative. "Neither cigars nor cig arete would I recommend," she de clared; "not even for the woman who has arrived at years of discretion, who has earned her own living and has several admirers, 1 smoke a cigar because it is in the play, but 1 do wish Oeorge Sand had not smoked such strong ones. Ugh! No. women surely will never smoke cigars." This is good news. It leaves more cigars and clgarets for tlie men, who have no nice scruples about associat ing with the flagrant weed.
