Mayor Keister Plans to In
crease Efficiency of His
Department
I
Recommendations to increase the
i
efficiency of the police were made
at a conference between Mayor Dun-,
iel L. Keister and the heads of the
department at a conference last j
night. The plans include the re-1
arrangement of the rooms occupied!
by the Mayor and the police in order
to secure the greatest amount of
l efficiency out of them, and the in-
I Jtallation of a complaint clerk, who
will handle all complaints and sup-1
I Ply information to visitors at the I
i executive and police offices.
At the present, the calls made by
the officers from district boxes are i
! received by the desk clerk, who must!
! also attend to all the calls for in- 1
formation that come into the oflice.;
All questions over the phone for
! information, and all visitors at the;
! office for information will be sent
I direct to the complaint clerk, who
! will occupy the office that has:
j hitherto been used by the Mayor's!
' clerk, Clarence O, Backenstoss. The)
! Mayor will retain his present office, i
j and the record and efficiency clerk!
i and the Mayor's clerk, will occupy |
what is now the office of the chief [
'of police. The dock room will be,
I remodeled for the chief, and thej
| captain and lieutenant of police will
j occupy it with him. All the rooms
' will be numbered so as to make it;
1 easy for the complaint clerk to di
| red callers to the proper offices.
Tt was also suggested that a door
l>e cut in the building at the head
[of the steps to the cellar. This
; would do away with the necessity of
: dragging prisoners through the three
| offices to get them to the cellar.

URGE PUBLIC
TO CUT TRAVEL
Pennsy Traffic Manager Says
Railroads Are Heavily
Burdened
i
Philadelphia. Dec. 15. Less rail
road travel by the general public was
urged yesterday by Robert E. Wright, j
traffic manager of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, at the long-table luncheon j
of the City Club as a means of reliev-
ing the congestion which is now bur
dening all of the railroads of the
country.
"We are trying to curtail our pas
senger service," he Said, "but as long
as we sell tickets we must run our
trains. We cannot take them off while
the people are there to travel." Three
million miles of train service was
taken ofr last year on the Pennsyl
vania Railroad, and the elimination
of the Broadway Limited will mean a
reduction of 650,000 miles more for
the year.
"The ordinary passenger service
has greatly increased." said Mr.
Wright. "I hardly know the cause
of it. Perhaps it is that the laboring
classes have more money or that peo
ple are restless. Washington Is a
lodestone for all kinds of travel. This
year the passenger traffic from Phila
delphia to Washington lias increased
69 per cent, and from New York to
Washington 83 per cent.
Wnr'n lUg Task
Mr. Wright spoke of the great
fit rain the new National Army and the
carrying of the regular troops had
placed on the roads. in September.
October and November the Pennsylva
nia Railroad carried 55,000 men in the
National Army. This required 950
cars. In seven months, ending in Oc
tober. J 85,000 soldiers, besides the Na
tional Army men, were moved. In Oc
tober the road carried to and from
Camp Dix 48,500 passengers, made up
of visitors and men on furloughs. The
same number was carried to and from
Camp Meade. .
Mr. Wright referred to the burden
the industrial situation has placed on
the roads. The Pennsylvania Rail
road carries 2,700 men to Hog Island
every day, 1,200 men to the proving
grounds on the Delaware and 7,000 to
liddystone. Excursion trains were
abandoned last summer which had
netted the road $300,000. Of freight,
116,000 carlioads were moved for the
| building of the sixteen cantonments
and 2,500 carloads a day are needed
i to keep the camps going. •
Travel Increases
■ Sixteen per cent, more traffic was
| handled tills year than last and 50
per cent, more than in 1915. To care
for this business 316,000 cars and 5,000
locomotives were needed. Traffic has
increased per ton mile in this coun
try more than the total ton miles of
the roads of Germany, England and
France put together.
Mr. Wright also said that to the
end of October of this year 150,000
I more cars of anthracite were shipped
than last year and 731,000 more cars
<>f bituminous. "I don't know where
it has gone," be said, "but those are
the facts."
Train Service Improves;
Trouble in Western Limit
Railroad trains were moving with
more precision to-day. Through
travel from the west was very uncer
tain. trains being marked up from
three to seven hours late. This traf
fic, however, is held up in and about
Chicago. On the Pennsy main line,
the Philadelphia and Reading Rail
way, Cumberland Valley and Balti
more and Williamsport divisions,
trains were moving in good order.
While some of the trains are not back
on their regular schedules traffic is
being handled regularly. Express
business continues heavy, but the con
gestions have not increased.
Pennsy Red Cross Drive
Is Planned For Next Week
Two days next week will be set
aside for special work among local
employes of the Pennsylvania Rail
road in the interest of the Red Cross
Fund. Complete plans will be an
nounced later. Committees will te
nanted in each department and every
employe will be solicited. On previous
subscriptions Harrisburg employes
have made good, and indications are
that they will keep up their good rec
ords, a number having already ex
pressed a desire to contribute.
Railroad Notes
Orders have been issued for the con
servation of electricity at the Penn
sylvania Rnilroad Station. When
trains are not being loaded, lights on
the passenger bridge are to be ex
tinguished.
Annual passes for PhiladelipUja Di
vision employes, of the Pennsylvania
Railroad for the year 1918 will be out
next week. Between 4,000 and 5,000
will be distributed.
G. W. Nestor, real estate agent for
the Pennsylvania Railroad, was in
York yesterday.
R. F. Hanson, supervisor for the
Pennsylvania Railroad, located at
York, was in llarrisburg yesterday.
Robert Rritton, Philadelphia, dis
trict organizer for the Mutual Bene
