12 COUNCIL IN NO HURRY TO SETTLE REFUSE PROBLEM Commissioners Will Let. Mat-' ■ * ter Hang Over For An other Week No recommendation will bo made! to Council to-morrow for the award | of a contract for garbage collection i and disposal when the present con-| tract expires at the end of next month. Commissioner Morgentlialer j said to-day. The reason given fori the delay of another week is thej fact that some of the members of l Council and commissioners-elect) want to visit the Wilkes-Barre pig* gery before deciding whether this method of disposal is the best. A 1 trip will probably be made to thati city to-morrow and the contract j award will bo postponed another week. . > Commissioner Morgenthaler has started an estimate of the cost of I municipal ash and rubbish collection! and will in all probability submit the] figures with his part of the annual j budget. Only a little more than six weeks remain to complete all ar rangements and provide for munici pal collection of ashes. In connection with garbage dispo sal the American City, in the De- r cember issue* Just published, has an j interesting report on the various methods of disposal, written by J. P. I Schroeiier, ol' the Bureau of Soils,, Washington. While his article) is a plea for the conservation of the j fertilizing elements in garbage, at i the same time he refers to the suc cessful operation of piggeries in such iurge cities as Worcester, Kansas City, St. Paul and Denver. The mayor of Worcester is quoted as say ing, "We are successfully feeding our garbage to some 2,000 to 3,000 hogs and in ordinary years making; it turn us a profit of from $30,000 to $40,000 which this year will be ex ceeded considerably on account of the high cost of pork." More attention is paid, however, to I the reduction methods of disposal j because of the tankage which can J be used as fertilizer while byproducts j are received, including grease. Har- I risburg officials face the problem of| paying about $12,000 a year more; for garbage collected and disposed of j by a firm using the reduction pro cess, while b yfeeding it to pigs the I city can be saved that sum of j money. Various city departments to-day I were busy completing budget esti-1 mates for 1918 and these will prob- j ably be acted upon in a few days. I Council may take some action to-) morrow and decide whether to con-' 1 sidcr the estimates. Only routine I business is on the calendar for to-j morrow's session. TRAFFIC OFFICER ~| RECOVERS HEALTH; "Tanlac 's certainly the finest | remedy on the market ''or stomacli • troubles," says liarrv .1. Winower. j, ihe well-known and popular traffic j officer stationed at Queen and Chest- | nut stiects, Lancaster, Pa., "for it j pu'led me back to health when 11 was in mighty bad shape and did j quick too." When seen at his home, 27 W. , Charlotte street, Officer Winjwer said, "My stomach was in .errible shape, nothing I ate agreed with me and many times when I tried to eat I would gag and vomit every- ; thins up again. "[ haven't eaten any breakfast in years but used to go on duty with j an empty stomach which made me j feel weak and I didn't have the am bit ioii I should have had. "I slept poorly 100 and would v.akej up feeling tired and completely 'dragged out and I was constipated that I had to be continually taking! strong cathartics and this weakened j me still further. "I became interested in Tanlac * tirst because so many people asked me to direct them to the Tanlac store and there were so many of them that I got the idea it would I help me. I asked a lot of yifcplel about Tanlac and they were all so| enthusiastic that I was convinced! that it would help me. "I went and had a talk with thej Tanlac man and what he told mei was so convincing that 1 started tak- | ing this remarkable medicine. "Now 1 am hungry for breakfast | when I get up. I can eat and enjoy | my meals, f sleep, fine and wake up fresh and rested and full of energy and ambition. "Tanlac has done wonders for me and I shall recommend it at every • opportunity." Tanlac, the famous reconstructive " tonic, is now being introduced here at Gorgas* Drug Store where the Tanlac man is meeting the people i and explaining the merits of this 1 master medicine.

Harrisburg Baking Go. MONDAY EVENING. HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH DECEMBER 10 1917. UPPER END SENDS AVIATION UNIT TO U. S. ARMY Husky Lads From Coal Mines Eager to Get Chance at Huu One of the best companies of I tigltfiifg men seen in Harrisburg since I American joined the war, alighted l at the Pennsylvania station this | morning from the upper end of Dau phin oounty, thirty-seven' strong, i snapping-eyed cral miners whose homes are in tlie famous Lykens Val ley. "Farmer?" whooped a big fel low in a coonskin muffer, "Not on y'r tintpe, we're all miners from the black diamond country, and we're goin' to fly over Germany." A mighty roar of laughing re sponse shook the husky miners who alone of the frost bitten crowd, tninded not one whit the zero blasts. | "Here's the man that dug us up, all j in three days." They thrust forward I ■ A. G. Bufllngton, a rugged, tall man vitalized with high power energy. It is not likely that Mr. Buffing ! ton's feat has been duplicated any t where in the country. Only four I days ago he determined that the ! upper end should be represented in i the tremendous scheme for fighting the Hun in the air and with the aid iof'Sergt. Thomas P. Moran, Harris burg he combed down the district at I lighting speed. Valuable assistance was also rendered by Charles Huff, | postmaster at Lykens, and Warren Uaniels, of Elizabethville. The roster as it lined up this j morning at the recruiting headquart- I ers in Market Street where each man went through physical examin ation included the following: George Allen ltow, Boy Cletus Long. Frank Elmer Miller, David R. Bomberger, Harry Allen Bowman; Karl A. Wert, Howard. B. Troutman, i Kobert Moss, Andrew Mekalko, Jonas Harper Shre er, Wasili M. Lesliko. Barton J. Myers, Frank O.

Dr. | Kobert 15. Barto, Josiah P. Hand, Thomas I' ,whian, John A. lleberling, I George H. Uliler, John Washburn and William 11. Hart. All of these are to become flying men, being first shipped to Colum bus, Ohio, and then to Waco, Texas. Three only will go into other serv ices, Dr. Barto, to the medical; Hart, to the cavalary, and Flynn, to the li .vy artillery. This is the first complete volun teer party to leave the upper end, from which section 287 men have al ready been taken for war duty. More than a dozen of them are married ant' some are leaving a wife and three or four children. Their loyal, instantaneous ,-esponse to the call from Mr. Bufttngton startled even the Lykens Valley, where patriotism is so keen that a pro-German squak er gets, short shrift. And the cam paign is only started, for the men to-day said that within a week an other company perhaps of the same dimensions would be ready to go out and help Uncle Sam light for demo cracy.

MOORE, O. G. GANS. LISBON REBELS SUCCEED; NAME NEW PRESIDENT Dr. Pacs, Former Minister to Germany, Heads Portuguese Provisional Government Madrid, Dec. 10.—Information has been received by the Portuguese Legation in Madrid confirmatory of previous advices that the revolution ary movement In Portugal had been successful. According to the legation's infor mation, the government under Premier Costa has been thrown from power and Dr. Sidonio Paes, former Portuguese Minister to Ger many, has been named president of a provisional government. Paris, Dec. 10.—Telegraphic com munication with Portugal is oeing re-established, according to a Havas dispatch from Dadajoz, Spain, near the frontier. Dispatches received there from Lisbon say the uprising was a military one, nearly the en tire garrison of Lisbon taking part. Government troops attacked their positions at Campolide, but were defeated after forty-eight hours of fighting. The government then re signed and the government forces surrendered. The revolutionists published the following manifesto: "The revolutionary forces com posed of nearly all of the Lisbon garrison, fought during three days from entrenchments in the Park Edouard VII to save the county and the republic: menaced by the miser able government formed almost to tally of monarchists. The revolu tionists will organize a cabinet com posed of reliable and competent men. We affirm solemnly that we will remain at the side of our old ally, England, and all the other allies, and we engage to maintain all international obligations of the Portuguese nation." The Republican guard, the fiscal guard and part of the naval forces joined the revolutionists. The battleship Vasco Da Gama and the destroyer Guadiana bombarded the positions of the revolutionists for two nays without effect. COAL SITUATION BAD; COLD WEATHER COMING [Continued front First Pago.] situation is not really bad, and is steadily improving. The dealer stat ed that he had about 125 tons in his yard, and is receiving steadily to-day one order for immediate delivery every minute. Various Opinions Coal offices were busy places this morning. In every one visited by the reporter there were an unusual num ber of customers standing about waiting their turn to fill out their cards and put in their orders for coal. The Wallis Coal Company stated they were fairly well fixed, but had nothing but the larger sizes. The United Ice and Coal Company gave out this morning that they have nothing but large egg and buckwheat coal on hand, and have enough of this to last, only six days at the most. These dealers, like all others, have their orders for coal placed, but have no idea when they will be tilled. An official at the Unit ed Ice and Coul Company estimated that there are seven or eight dealers in the city without any ocal. Walter Montgomery, head of the Ketail Coal Dealers' Association, said the situation is bad. He stated that there are families with children, and with sick, who are actually suffering because of the lack of coal. He said he sees no relief in sight, as his com pany has had coal ordered for three months, with no prospects yet of get ting it. The regular meeting of the Dau phin County Coal Commission takes place this afternoon at 4 o'clock. No measures of unusual importance are scheduled for consideration at the meeting. It is the opinion of members of the commission that while the dealers are not well fixed, the people of the city as a whole will not suffer, as most of them have been well supplied previously to the arrival of the severe weather of the last two days. H holt' City Slllver* For two days and nights Harris burg has been gripped by a cold wave that last night reached a tempera ture as low as six degrees above zero, and the whole city has been shivering because of the conditions that have made It harder than evei in the history of the city to supply auxpiiiU: heat in the offices, stores, and dwellings. One of the worst coal shortages in fifty years, and the fail ure of the heating apparatus of the Harrisburg Light and Power Com pany, were two of the factors that made it so difficult to cope with the cold weather of the last two days. The cold wave followed almost Im mediately the severe snowstorm of Saturday, and in a few hours the thermometers of the city registered between six and ten degrees. There is no relief in sight, according to tlv statement of the weather bureau, as the. whole United States east of the Rorkv Mountains is enveloped by the (old wave. The temperature in Har risburg is expected to fall to some degrees below zero to-night Xl* Inrhn of lee The river is generally icebound, at gome places the ice attaining a thick ness of six or more inches. The rec ord? of the weather department place t!,t general thickness of the ice at about four inches. The lake at Wild wood Park is frozen, and will be in vestigated this afternoon to see. if the ice is thick enough for skating. The surface, however, is covered with snow. The cold wave following so closely 011 the snowstorm of Saturday has caused numerous minor accidents and discomforts due to icy pave ments, and difficult traffic conditions. No serious accidents have been re ported, however, either at the hos pitals or at the police station. Traffic all over the city, even in the business sections, has been great ly hindered by the blocked condi tions of the streets. Squads were busy all over the city this morning improving street conditions. Strum Hrat I'nll* The city shivered in their homes yesterday when their steam heat radi ators failed to give oft any heat, and some business offices were too cold for occupancy this morning. The out lying portions of the town suffered most from the low steam pressure at the plant of the Harrisburg Light and Power Company Manager Kaltwas ser said this morning the trouble was due to a fault of the pump that removes the ashes from the furnace of the boiler. When seen this morning Mr. Ivaltwasser stated that the new pump had been ordered for months, and did not arrive till Saturday, due to an embargo. He said the pump wculd be installed some time to-day. and the Light and Power Companv will be able to take of the situation that may develop during the rest of the winter. The unusual prosperity of the times was evidenced at the police station last night, when not a single wan derer appealed for a night's lodging out of the cold This is in direct contract to almost all previous win ters.

Supreme Court Reverses Federal (J.M.W.of A.Decree Washington, Dec. 10.—Federal court decrees holding the United Mine Workers of America Union to be a legal organization under West Virginia statutes and the common law were to-day reversed by the Su preme Court. Injunctions were approved, how ever, by the Supreme Court to the Hitchiuan Coal and Coke Company and Eagle Glass and Manufacturing Company of West Virginia to restrain union soliciation of their .nonunion employes who are uder contract not to join unions. Federal Judge Day ton, of West Virginia, had granted such injunctions. The court, through Justice Pitey, rejected union contentions that so licitation "or picketing" ol' employes having contracts not to join unions doeh not violate constitutional free dom of contract. The Supreme Court by its decision does not decide that the organiza tions are illegal, but stamps certain practices as illegal. The decision says the court recognizes the right of the miners to organize. Justices Brandeis, Holmes and Clarke dissented. "The Supreme Court holds," the majority opinion held, "that the plaintiff was acting within its lawful rights in employing its men upon the terms that they should not be mem bers of the United Mine Workers; that, having established this working agreement between it and its em ployes with the free assent of the latter. Methodist Educational Fund Grows SIO,OOO a Day Zero weather did not militate against the great Methodist drive for the $450,000 fund to be raised in the Central Pennsylvania district, for at headquarters this noon it was given out that the fund had now reached $325,000. and that the money is cftm ing in at the rate of SIO,OOO a day. Only twelve days remain for the completion of this big task, but the Methodist workers are not alarmed for the result. If there were any disposition to let up' it could not last long since the competition is very sharp. Here and there communities in the conference have already reached their goal and the Harrisburg Methodists do not intend to have this city left in the ruck. Dozens of energetic men from Stevens Memorial were busy in the city to-day, braving the bitter weath er, and over the whole district, through the country side the remote places were being visited. Next Sunday, termed "gleaning day," has been set aside for the final sweeping effort to complete the sum wanted. Every one of the 250 churches will do its utmost to toe the mark and it is believed by next Monday morning that the $450,000 will be in sight. City Property Assessed For 1918 at $53,700,000 City Assessor James C. Thompson to-day announced the total valua tion of all taxable property in the fourteen wards of the city is $53,- 700,000, or about $1,450,000 higher than last year. This estimate will be submitted to Council so that the tax rate can be fixed for raising rev enue for next year's budget. The big increase in valuation is due to the annexation of the Four teenth ward and to many big build ing operations. Some of these are not completed but those which were started this year and are included in the estimate add $623,150 to the valuation, while the Fourteenth ward adds about $830,000. While city officials anticipate a tax increase next year, it will not he possible to determine how much this will le un til the budget has been finished. MANV RHGISTKIt Men and women forming the local Home War Work committee, began registering to-day at various regis tration headquarters throughout the city. Men register at the Chamber of Commerce, and women at 214 Mar ket treet, where lted Cross member ship campaign headquarters bave been opened.

So appre ciative are many of the thrifty ones that they have been coming personal ly in this holiday season to thank the bank managers for helping them to save The money paid out from this sys tem means a big thing to the Harrio burg merchant and guarantees that Christmas shopping will be as live ly as in other years.
