The plan is to se cure at least 200 signers in every county in the state to petitions which will then be presented to the com mission by a fan chosen to represent the county. Hearings will be held on all petitions. , Tinder the act of 1915 the Commis sion can declare a county closed to certain game specified for a period not exceeding five years after peti tions are presented, advertisements given in newspapers and hearings held. The petitions must set forth that the closing Is absolutely neces sary for the preservation of the game. In the case of ruffed grouse it has been claimed by many hunters in letters sent to the commission that unless some action is taken the bird will become extinct. Advocates of the closing say that if concerted ac tion is taken the state can be closed this year and thus save a year as the legislature will not meet until next January. Several years ago there was state wide closed season on wild turkeys for two years; resulting in a big increase. Thirty-four counties are now closed to certain kinds of game, those closed to ruffed grouse being Allegheny, Beaver, Bucks, Butler, Chester, Lawrence, Mercer and Montgomery. Twenty-six counties are closed to deer hunting and eigh teen to wild turkeys. A number of these county seasons will open this MIElSir WE!

HEAT AND POWER MAY BE CUT OFF [Continued from First Page.] row. With no break in the cold wave predicted, M. Kaltwasser, vice-president and general man ager of the company, this morn ing said that his plant will close up to-morrow unless coal is commandeered in the same way jt was to-day. This condition will repeat itself every day for the rest of the winter he said, unless the National Fuel Ad ministration comes to the aid of the Harrisburg Light and Power Company. Twelve Hours' Grace The city of Harrisburg, according to General Manager Kaltwasser, is now, at the best, always only twelve hours away from a paralysis of all its industries. In addition to this, every home furnished with heat by the Light and Power Company, anil every building furnished with light, will receive no service from the idle facilities of the coa'-starved heat and power machinery of the power company. Unless Mr. Hickok succeeds in commandeering to-morrow's supply of coal before noon, the great indus trial establishments in Harrisburg will be idle, and 20,000 workmen will be unemployed, forced to spend their days in unheated buildings and their nights in*darkened rooms. Preparations have been made to keep the arc lights of the city light ed, Mr. Kaltwasser said. Of the hun dreds of thousands of lights kept burning by Mr. Kaltwasser'a plant, these will be the only ones that will be lighted to-morrow night if Mr. Hickok does not secure six or eight cars of somebody's bituminous. Complete Shutdown The shutdown will be instan taneous all over the city if the coal does not arrive. Instead of a grad ual curtailment of the light and power and heat service in the city, the word will go forth that there is no coal at the plant of the heat and power company, % and consequently no heat, light or power. The Cen tral Iron and Steel Company, the Pipe and Pipe Rending Company, the Pennsylvania and Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Companies' shops and plants, all Harrisburg newspapers and theaters are but few of those activities that will be silenced by the inability of the Har risburg Light and Power Company to cope with the serious situation. The Harrisburg Light and Power Company must have six cars of bi tuminous coal daily, or the capital city will be as quiet as a city of the dead. Two cars daily are con- I sumed by the power plant, and four cars dally by the steam heat plant.' The company has at last got to the point where it is running its plant from day to day, and without a knowledge of where the next day's coal supply will come from. Mr. Kaltwasser said he cannot positive ly say any day that his plant will operate the next. Many Stop Instantly Mr. Kaltwasser and Mr. Hickok said that it is impossible to curtail the light, heat or power of the Light and Power Company, owing to the fact that nearly all the large plants operating with the resources of the Light and Power Company are on government contracts. For that rea son there will be no curtailment of industrial activities in the city until the final edict, when all the wheels of industry will stop almost instantly, at the same time the heat and light of the city is cut off. The city at large was ignorant of the desperate state of affairs at the Harrisburg Eight' and Power Com pany this morning. Mr. Kaltwasser, \ finding all his efforts to secure coal valueless, appealed to Mr. Hickok, fuel administrator, early this morn ing. Only by desperate efforts and a continued appeal to railroad officials, I with whom Mr. Hickok personally searched the railroad yards In the city for idle bituminous shipments, was Mr. Hickok able to commandeer a day's supply. Someone Loses Fuel After he located the coat, Mr. Hickok had to get permission from State Adminitrator Potter before he could divert it for the local power company. Mr. Hickok could not say this morning to whom the coal was originally consigned, but It is now the property of the Harrisburg Light and Power Company without ques tion ,and will be used to save a city of 90,000 people from complete in dustrial paralysis for a day. MB. Hickok got Mr. Potter's permission by telephone this morning. Mr. Hickok, in securing the coal from the railroad, tried to secure Mr. Potter's permission to comman deer Six cars of bituminous dally, and thus avoid all danger of an industrial shutdown in the city. Unable to Secure Permission He was unable to secure this per mission, and the only way the heat and power plant can be saved from shutdown is by the acquisition of 1 six cars of coal dalVv which Mr. ' Hickok must locate daily, before he can secure special permission to | take it. Mr. Hickok is already work ing on to-morrow's coal supply, and ■ as soon as he locates it, will tele -1 phone the car numbers to Potter, with a request for permission to use • it. The first day that Mr. Hickok ! does not locate a sufficient supply 1 will bring an announcement of a - shutdown. The Climax The climax in the coal situation at i the Light, Heat and Power Company ' this morning was the result of a shortage in the coal supply which has been growing more acute every day since December 12, when the company officials first felt the pinch i of the severe winter. After the five-day industrial shut down in the city two weeks ago, the company announced a slight im provement in their coal resources, i but the continuance of the severe weather has brought the crash. Mr. Kaltwasser has been appealing di rectly to Fuel Administrator Gar field during the past week, but with out any success. Without the help of Local Administrator Hickok, he said, Harrisburg would be in the EVERYONE LIKES THIS COLD CURE "Pape's Cold Compound" ends a cold or grippe in a few hours.
