4 HARRISBURG TO BE CENTER OF TOURIST ROUTE .New Penn-Harris Hotel to Bring Many Strangers to This City Frank A. Dudley, president of the Vnlted Hotels Company, which will have the active management of the Penn-Harris, is In the city to-day and will meet with the directors of the Harrisburg Hotel Company this evening. He is busy outlining some automobile tours similar to the fa mous Empire and other tours or ganized by the United Hotels Com pany, and stated to-day that Har risburg would be the starting point of an Important southern tour. "fhe Southern Tour Association." said Mr. Dudley, "Is being organ ized by prominent hotel and com- I mercial interests of the South, as fisted by the United Hotels Com pany, for the purpose of establish ing automobile routes between the North and the South. "The scenic route, which has been determined upon, starts at Harris burg and thence extends to the South through Gettysburg, Harper's Ferry, Winchester, Knoxville, Chat tanooga, Birmingham and thence to Mobile, with a branch going west to New Orleans and another branch east to Jacksonville and Southern Florida points. "The mountain scenery through this district is finer than anything in the Adiroitdacks. This route Is dotted with familiar places of his toric interest. The Tennessee river section comprises some of the most wonderful scenery in the South. "At Birmingham, which is the Kreat industrial center of the South, the capacity of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company is practically be ing doubled to provide for the man ufacture of ship plates, structural steel and other steel products. Blooming mills are being erected so as to enlarge the business of the com pany from a pigiron manufacturing plant to a general steel plant. They are also building a steel car plant which will be the largest in the ! "United States. The same company is erecting at Mobile a large ship building concern, which will be sup plied largely from Birmingham. "Heretofore tourists have trav eled east and west, but the roads along these southern routes will be in condition the coming summer so as to permit of safe, convenient and comfortable travel by automobile north and south anA the hundreds of thousands of tourists who have traveled east and west will now have opportunity to visit southern lands during the spring, fall and winter months by automobile. Har risburg will be the starting point south. "The organization of the company will be held at Birmingham some time in February, and thereafter the preparation of maps and literature will be commenced for distribution throughout the north the coming spring," ASTHMA ~ There i* no "cure" but relief is often brought by— /rM&S * Lini# Body-Cvanl tnYour f= t ft When Itching Stops V- There is one safe, dependable treat ment that itching torture and skin irritation almost instantly and that cleanses and soothes the skin.

Weak nerves rob men and women of all the Joj of life and quickly re duce the strong and robust to a con dition which is pitiable In the ex treme. This condition is brought about slowly and stealthllv In the majority of cases, and the poor suf ferer falls to realize what Is wrong until faulty memory, indecision, lack of desire for work or recreation. In somnia or some other unmistakable symptom indicates weak nerves It is then that many people make the big mistake of resorting to the use of so-called nerve tonics, alcoholic stimulants or drugs. Nothing could be more harmful or more dangerous. The nerves are weak and exhausted; they need food and nourishment— not drugs that will lash them into temporary activity. Feed your nerves and they will become strong again arid your health will improve in con sequence. That is the advice of pres ent day physicians and specialists, and the nerve lood they recommend is just one 5-gr. tablet of pure bltro phosphate taken during or Immedi ately after every meal. Simple ad vice, but its excellence has been prov ed over and over again, and, as a package containing sufficient bltro phosphate tablets for two weeks' treatment can be obtained from any druggist at reasonable cost, the rem edy is within the reach of every suf ferer from weak nerves.

Eyesight Specialist S# NORTH THIRD STREET Schlelaner Building THURSDAY EVENING RESERVOIR FILLS AS INDUSTRIES ANOTHER SHUTDOWN Potter to Be Asked to Credit i on Fuelless Mondays City Businessmen With § Time Lost While Water Is Low The water shortage to-day can be summed up briefly as follows: Four feet, nine inches of water in reservoir. All industrial plants to re main closed at least another day. Arrangements completed for connecting with Steelton water mains. Steelton water plant to furnish 500,000 gallons daily to southern part of city. Entire west end of city north of Hamilton street being supplied by Stony Creek Water Company. Residents using this supply noti fied to boll all water for drinking purposes. All householders urged to cori serve water as much as possible. No hydrants, spigots or other outlets to be opened unless to draw water for immediate use. Exceptions on industrial order from Mayor Keister only Lppiie3 to public utilities, milk depots, bakeries and hospitals. There Is almost five feet of water In the city reservoir now Commls sionet Hassler, of the water depart ment, reported at noon to-day. This supply is sufficient for domestic purposes If- all residents conserve the amount used, and with the amount being pumped into the reservoir showing a slow and steady gain, danger of a famine has been averted by the drastic orders of Jate yesterday, which closed every man ufacturing plant in the city. This order will remain in effect at least another twenty-four hours. It has resulted In a loss of thousands of dollars to manufac turers and has thrown hundreds of men and women out of work. Mayor D. L. Keister, approving the sugges tion of a representative of the Har risburg Telegraph, said he would request Fuel Administrator Ross A. Hlckok to ask the government fuel administration to give the- city In dustrial plants credit for the days they are closed because of the shortage and not to compel them to close on "heatless" Mondays. , It Is understood Administrator Hickok will communicate with Dr. Garfield at once. Should 801 l Water The special committee, including Commissioner Hassler, W. P. Star key, John A. Affleck. Frank B. Mus ser, Carl M. Kaltwasser and B. F. Allen, may meet late this afternoon to review reports from various plants and from the water works. Mr. Kaltwasser last "flight com pleted arrangements for the use of the Stony Creek Company water for the west end of the city. As this is unfiltered water the State Depart ment of Health at once notified the city that the residents using it must bo warned to boil the water. Em ployes of the water department were I sent over the district this after ! noon, and school children In the up town buildings were told to report the importance of boiling the water to their parents. Ih-essure Is Low A number of complaints of low pressure in the section using this supply received at the water de partment resulted in an investiga tion by George H. Cobaugh, of the department. The offer of the Steelton Water Department was made after a meet ing of the Steelton water board, called by President T. J. Nelly, of , the Borough Council. The plan which was worked out was suggest ed to city officials by Oliver P. Baskins, superintendent of the water department. It is planned to lay two lines of firehose from the main at Front and Gibson streets, Steel ton, to a plug near the Elliott-Fish er Company plant in South Cam eron street. This will give the city about 500,000 gallons daily from the Steelton department, which fur nishes filtered water. The supply will be used for the lower end of the city. Up to Householders That the residents of the city are almost entirely to blame for the shortage Is the opinion of members of the special committee named by Mayor Keister. Commissioner Hass ler declared to-day the wasting of water brought about the rapid drop in the reservoir, and said the resi dents must conserve now. Trouble at the pumping station may be responsible for some of the shortage also, and as soon as the reservoir is filled sufficiently the pumps will be stopped and a thor ough examination made. At noon to-day no one had been secured to come to the city and aid the water department men in handling the situation. Council yesterday in special session author ized obtaining an expert and long distance calls were made to-day to a number of points In an effort to engage a competent engineer. Mr. Starkey, of the Harrisburg Pipe and Pipe Bending works ar ranged to send one of the men of the company to Pittsburgh to ar range for the shipment of the 5,- 000,000-gallon electric pump and motor from that city. It was re ported to Commissioner Hassler to day that the railroad companies re fused to take the pump because of an embargo. The big thirteen-ton casting for the pump now being repaired was put in place to-day and will be con nected up in about two weeks. Reservoir Empty At the meeting of the manufac turers yesterday afternoon. Mayor Keister presided and called on Com missioner Hassler to explain the sit uation confronting the city officials. Dr. Hassler declared the reservoir was empty, and urged upon them the importance of . conserving the lieadaches come mostly from disorders of the stomach, liver and bowels.

(iarlicld to excuse Harrisburg industries compelled to close I down by reason oT the local water famine from observance of Mon day holidays to the number of days they are compelled to be Closed by the water searcit). I think the suggestion most practi cal." Thus emphatically Mayor Iveister endorsed the proposal ad vanced to him to-day by a'repre sentative of the Harrlsbtirg Tele . graph. The Mayor added: "I wish the Telegraph would warn the people that the West | End of the city above Hamilton street is being supplied by the Stoney Creek Water Coinoany. This water should be thorot'ihly 1 boiled before using. Tins is 1 strongly urged ns a safety pre caution by the Health Depart- I ment." water supply to guard against fire and provide for domestic uses. That there Is some trouble at the pumping station which has not been discovered was the opinion expressed by a number of the men present, among them John A. Affleck and E. Mather, two members of the old watef works board which ceased to be a part of the city government when the Clark act' became opera tive. Ex-Commissioner Samuel F. Dunkle also expressed the same opinion. Many Called Among the men present who were called upon to speak were Mr. Af fleck, Mr. Mather, Mr. Dunkle and I. Horace McFarland. Mr. Affleck spoke briefly on the seriousness of the situation and then declared it was only a question of whether the plants closed at once, or used all the supply and would be compelled to shut down later. Many of the of ficials present at once voiced their approval of a plan to close at once, and some of them stated they had ordered fires under boilers banked before they had left the plants. Pumps nought in 1871 Mr. Mather gave a short history of the water department since 1874 when the two old pumps now in use were first bought. According to Mr. Mather the closing order now in force was the first to be issued since the flood of 1889, when the entire water works was flooded and the supply of water in the reservoir was the only one available until the pumps could be used again. Ex-Commissioner Dunkle explain ed the cause of the present situation in part. The new pump which is now being repaired, had been . running for months at capacity—l2,ooo,ooo gallons daily. Because of the increas ing demand on the water depart ment, Mr. Dunkle had a survey made of the water works, and then order ed repairs to the two old pumps Tests were made of the water mains and a large thirty-inch fitting at Front and North streets was en closed in reinforced concrete. The break in the new pump was discov ered November 17, last year. It had been planned to use the two old pumps and the new pump beginning on Monday, November 19, hut the break i*cessitated the use of the two old pumps alone. They have been running ever since, according to Mr. Dunkle. When asked what had been done about repairs to the big pump. Mr. Dunkle said he tried to have welding firms repair the break in the big water cylinder, and finally when he could not get anyone to attempt this, made an effort to have a new casting made. New Casting Here An investigation then showed that there were no drawings of any of the parts of the big engine or pump as the firm which built it is no longer in business. After getting in touch with a number of plants. Mr. Dunkle-made arrangements with a Birdsboro firm to make the big casting, machine It, and send the part to the city. It reached here yesterday and will bo put in place within the next week. The Harrisburg Foundry and Ma chine Company has had charge of the repair work at the pumping station preparatory to the installation of the new part. C. W. Lynch, president of the company, was asked whether all the parts necessary to complete the re pairs were in the city. He replied two or three parts were being finish ed and would be sent on in a week or two. Mr. McFarland then took the floor and declared there had been too much delay with the lives of 65,000 residents, and $55,000,000 worth of property endangered. Want No Delay It was explained by water works men that the parts which are not I here will not be needed at first as the old parts which they replace, can | be used until the new ones arrive. Ross A. Hlckok, of the Hickok Manufacturing Company, suggested to Mayor Keister that a committee of three be appointed to decide on which plants should be affected by the order not to use water, and that the committee report as soon as possible. Others present objected to any delay and suggested Mayor Keis ter give the committee power to draw the order and enforce it. Mayor Keister said he would not take such action but would appoint a commit -ee to prepare an order which he would endorse. Cumberland Farm Bureau Plans Series of Meetings Carlisle, Pa., Jan. 24.

One man, George Wartield, 1853 Spencer street, is in the Presbvterian Hospital in a. critical condition. James M. Ulsh. ot Lancaster, a mail clerk, was killed. The Harrisburgers who were slightly injured returned last night. They arc: Elmer E. Nissley. 1634 Reglna street, several broken ribs and pos sible fracture of skull. John Chubb. 236 North Fourteenth street; lacerations and injured inter nally. Others on injured list are: \V. A. Bolton, passenger, address unknown. George Bradshaw, Trenton, N. J., a mail clerk. H. Bock, Brooklyn, mail clerk. L. M.'Helman, 227 Emerald street mail clerk, slightly injured; at home William to. Brown. 25 years old, a sailor bound for Brooklyn Navy Yard and in this city during a forty-eight hour furlough. His home is in Boston. Treated for lacerations, contusions and severe shock, and later discharged. Passengers who were injured, in addition to Mr. Lovitt, were 11. H. Kackard, of Belaire, Md., and W. A. Stewart, College avenue, Kansas City, Mo. Both the latter left North Phil adelphia on a special train. The injured i lerks who remained on duty were W. A. Hawthorp, L. M. Helman. H. Dernberger and D. Meak ley. Scores of passengers who re fused to pv to hospitals were treated by police surgeons fcr nervous shock and injur es from broken glass. Two Trains Wrecked Two trains bound for New York and running on parallel tracks were I wrecked. One was the Manhattan Limited, tfven hours late from Chi cago. and bound for North Philadel phia, where it was cl.ie at 7.1# o'clock yesterday morning. A broken brake rigging on the mai'.tar of this train caused the wreck. William A. Gawthrop. chief mail clerk, Is reported to have told offi cials of the road that lie had the •roughest ride of 'lie life" in the postal coach. He said that the jolt ing became so bad from Downlng town, Pa.," that he complained to the conductor. Arrangements were made to have the car examined at North Philadel phia station, but 'at the firot arch oi the i tidge that spans the West Park dri v.? leading to Sweet Briar Ma i ticn, the broken rigging deraiiel the maiicai and threw on the Drake*. Mall Coach Covers Trnek The mail coach slued around in the prth of train No. 230, an express which left Broad Street Station on schedule time. The local train sliced through the mail car lengthwise and halved it as clpn as a razor cuts cheese. Ji'mes M. Ulsh, West Lemon street, Lancaster, Pa., who was busy sorting mail, was instantly. Nino other clerks were hurt, five so seriously that they were taken to hospitals. The four injured men re mained on duty and aided in sorting the scanned mail Five passengers were irjured, two among them. The latter are A. A. Lovift, ::0S New street, whose left hand was injured, and Walter E. Brown, a sailor, who stayed at 1526 Brown street during a furlough. Local Man Talks Sitting in the accident ward of the Lankenau Hospital. John H. Chubb, of this city, one or the injured mail clerks, gave his version of the acci dent. "We left Pittsburgh at 4.03 In the morning," Chubb said, "and our last stop had been Harrisburg. Our next wan to be North Philadelphia. As we neared Gir<.rd avenue bridge I not.ced a peculiar grating, grinding rolse. Before I could decide what cau.ed it the Grain came. Everything turned black. "Then I found myself buried under iebrls. Near rfip was Ulsh, dead. He pinned underneath the steel side oi' the car. I tried to crawl to his resistance, but the pain In the injured leg made me faint." Ten Escnpe Death The fact that only one of eleven men in the mallear was killed is re garded as "Providential" by Elmer Nissley, one of 'he Injured clerks. He believes that the limited was "run ning at rather a high rate of speed as the train approached the bridge. William A. Gawthrop, chief mail clerk, was cut about the face and treated on the scene by Doctor Han cock, of the University Hospital. Officials asked Oawthmp if he had noticed anything wrong in the riding of the car. "I certainly did," Gawthrop re plied. "I told the conductor that i had never been so Jolted and bumped Ground in my life. It got worse after we left i'owningtown, and arrange ments were made to have the trucks of the ma'lcar examined for defects when we reached North Philadelphia. The official statement of the Penn sylvania Railroad attributes the wreck to the broken brake rigging on the n-.allear of the limited. Ar rangements to transport the passen gers. v. ho stopd around help'essly In nix inches of snow, were made with all possible speed. A third tialn for I New York was sent alon* the tracks and boarded by those going to that city. Stop* Trafllc The truck temporarily checked all inbound traffic, and a trail from New Yorb was stalled at NorMi Philadel phia. Pissengers boa-!ed trolley cars and taxicaljs to ride to the cen ter of the city. The impact derailed the engine of the Manhattan Limited, the mallear and the combination club smoker and baggage car. Nissley and Chubb saved tli'elr lived by Jumping a mln- •lie before the crash. When It fell, the trake rigging .iot only Jolted the win els of the mail coach from the track but broke tha entire air line throMgh the train and automatically upplicf" the emergency brakes. The engine ar.u three coaches of the lccal train were thrown from the tracks?. In the first day coach a male passenger smashed a window, jumped through and lowered himselt over the southern side of the bridge, where he hung suspended by his bands until Ivessel, a park guard, rescued him. Chief Clerk Wickersham Is Investigating Wreck Cause Howard Wickersham, chief clerk of the railway mail service depart ment in this city, left this morning for Philadelphia. He will visit the injured mail clerks, and will get a complete report of the wreck from the Pennsylvania railroad officials. Reports regarding those injured were not complete, the name of L. M. Helmqn, 227 Emerald street, this city, having been omitted. He was slightly injured and came to this city with the other clerks who were among those injured. Chief Clerk Nissley will visit the clerks still in the hospital. This ac cident is the second this week in which mail clerks have figured in the injured list, and the loss of these men Is causing a shortage in mail clerks in this district.

Not understanding the functional changes taking place in their bodies, they work beyond their strength, often break down, become nervous wrecks, their bodies suffer ing with fatigue and their weakened nerves trembling at every step. Often in their weakened condition capillary hemorrhage becomes excessive, this added drain compelling thtem to take to their beds from nervous exhaus tion. What these women need is some thing that will Instantly relieve the pressure on the overworked nerve centers and give them the vitality to stand up under the grueling strain. Wonderfully effective results are often given in such conditions by the simple use of Margo Nerve Tablets a skillful combination of six of the best nerve vitalizing elements known to modern chemistry. These .little tab lets contain no dangerous habit-form ing drugs and are entirely harmless In their action. Thousands of women can testify that Margo Nerve Tablets strengthen the Jaded nerves, revive the tired brain and put the energy and courage into the body that enables one to stand up under the unusual strain of the changing period.

Hospital Filled It wus necessary for, the ambu lance to make two trips to convey all the victims to the hospital and the police patrol was loaded to ca pacity. Dr. William J. Bassler ac companied the ambulance on its trips, and Patrolman Hylan made the trip in the patrol. The hospital strained every effort to take good care of the unfortu nate victims of the ill-fated sleigh. The sudden influx of victims took the hospital unawares and cots were pressed into service and placed in the wards to take care of the victims temporarily. Every effort was made this morning to make the patients comfortable and give them the best of treatment. Girl .Sobs Story The story of the evening is given by one of the girl victims of the accident, whose narrative was punctuated by continual sobs of "Oh l™" h realise it at all. I can't real !'i, ij of the boys and Btrls, ana the older members of the party who escaped serious injury, were un strung by the accident, and could not refrain trom sobbing while tell ing their stories, this morning.

The sleigh ™ as drawn by four mules, driven by Mr Martin. It belonged to Robert J. Alton, a trucker .of Hunmielstown, who had hired it to the party of joung people for the occasion. The party arrived at Progress at about 11 o clock, they said to-day, having been delayed on the way by the heavy snowdrifts. Upon their ar rival at Progress, the party was forced to remain for hours, due to the fact, that two of the team gave out completely after their terrific efforts to battle through the deeply piled snow. Hattlc With Drifts The battle of the team to over come the difficulties of the deeply piled snow road going home was as difficult as it had been earlv in the evening, and many of the party had already suffered from the cold at the time of the accident. At the sight of the glaring head light, flashing blindingly out of the darkness, members of the party were for the most part completely unnerved, they said. Tlhree bovs avoided injury by jumping wildly into the air at the first approach of the swiftly moving car. For the most part the party did not move trom their burrows in the straw, which they were using to keep them gdOESICSTORE OPENS 8:30 A. M.—CLOSES 5:30 P. M.
