REPORT TRAFFIC ALMOST NORMAL Reading Is Hauling Many Coal Trains; BUSY at Ruth erford Railroad officials do not look for; anything new in record traffic move- ! ment until there is another pro-j longed spell. I'p to yesterday con-j ditions were showing improvement! daily. Last night's cold snap, which I is scheduled to continue until Mon- j day, has crimped the activity. How- I ever, it is the belief that barring a j heavy snow, lines will be kept open long enough to permit a further cleaning up of congestions still in existance. leaded coal cars that were dug' out of snow drifts and ice banks, have been delivered at eastern tide water terminals and other points. These cars as soon as empty are side tracked for repairs, and are; numbered with the crippled list re-i ferred to yesterday in a dispatch; from Washington. Cars Await Repairs These cars will be looked after by ( the floating repair gangs as far as, practicable and delivered as soon as possible to mining districts. Be- > tween l£nola and Cly on the low grade line of the Pennsylvan.a there is still many hundred cars await ing attention. For the lirst time since the lirst big snowstorm and breezeup, the anthracite shipments from the mines of the Reading Coal and Iron Com- : pany reached almost normal on 1 Thursday. There were t\yenty-nlne trains sent out from St. Clair and the number of cars hauled totaled nearly 1,500. Yesterday this good record was repeated. The soft coal trade, too. is show-j ing a decided increase and the mine, owners in Western Pennsylvania, the; Clearfield regions and Western Yir-j ginia, are doing better than they hav for several months. An im-| mense amount of bituminous coal is i being handled at Rutherford yards. "Everything is moving in good shape on the Reading," said General Superintendent W. H. Keft'er, yester day. The terminals are loosening up and the cars are unloaded • lomptly. They are free from ice and no trouble is being experienced. Freight Wreck at Cly Ties Up Passenger Trains Traffic between Harrisburg and; York was delayed yesterday as a re- ] suit of a wreck near Cly station.} Two freight trains came together in j a rear end collision. Twenty carsi were piled up. It is said that the en glrieer of the second train did not get a signal in time to warn him that the train ahead had stopped. The second train was composed of i heavy steel cars. The locomotive! plowed through the caboose and two; cars at the rear of the first train.! Fortunately the several trainmen who were in the caboose saw what wuo coming and leaped to safety. Eighteen cars of the rear train buckled and were derailed, the -•reckage being spread over tracks I. 2 ond 3. The fourth track was occupied by stored cars, several of which were damaged.

I'hlladrlpHia Dlvinion Kngineers RESERVES WILL CONTINUE DRILLS Harrisburg Organization Will Maintain Its Entity; Some to Enter Company I The Harrisburg; Reserves ore go ing to continue their organization and will drill at. the City Grays' Ar mory every Friday night until the weather permits open air drills on the Island. This was decided last night at, a meeting of, active members of the organization at the Armory. About twenty members will join Company I of the Second Regiment of the Penn sylvania Reserve Militia and about thirty members will drop out entire ly. The remainder will continue drills. Not only did the members present decide last night to continue drills, but they took steps to increase the organization, holding that the drills give opportunity for training and at the same time afford a disciplined force to meet any situation which might arise should the Militia be call ed out on duty in another county or state be asked by the national gov ernment to put its new guard in federal service for a time. Hereafter the Reserves will drill on Friday nights, men of all com panies to report on that night. The drill next Friday night will be con ducted by Captains \V. A. Moore and l'\ 11. Hoy. Jr. And on the following Friday night by Paptains Ross A. Hickok and H. C. Houtz. In addition to the members pres ent last night a number of others sent word that it was their sense that the organization should not disband, but continue drills regularly. Major A. M. Porter, the commandant, called upon the men to expiess their opin ion as to the future of the organiza tion and practically every man vot ed to go on. Drilling was immedi ately taken up. Five new men ap peared last night to join the Re serves and notice was given that others would become affiliated for military training. Students of the Technical High School and Harris bttrg Academy will be invited to join, lieutenant 1.. Y. Harvey will act, as instructor for new men. Lieutenant F. G. Fahnestock, Jr.. first lieutenant of Company 1, of the Reserve Militia, and one of the active spirits in the Reserves since forma tion, addressed the men present, in viting any members to join the new company. Republic Truck Makers See Big Year For Trucks "There is every indication that the year ahead af us wlllbe by far the biggest year in the motor truck history," is the claim backed by facts, of F. W. Ruggles, president and general manager of the Repub lic Truck Company. "1 mean strictly domestic busi ness—that is, trucks made for the demand of hauling and delivery in the usual line of home commerce. The war is left out of this consid eration. Even expqrt business is not taken into account. The Republic, while enjoying extensive export trade, especially in the Latin repub lics. Australia. New Zealand and the Orient, is not making, any particu lar effort to extend its business out side the confines of this country. The domestic market is absorbing the capacity production of the Re public factory at Alma, Michigan, the largest plant exclusively devoted to motor truck manufacture. There are now more than 25,000 Republic trucks In operation, and the factory is manufacturing on a schedule of 25,000 trucks for the coming year. "Thu for the rapid and enormous growth of the demand is easily seen. Business is realizing the need of ef ficiency and seeking far practicable methods of speeding up to a far greater degree than ever before. The man or firm that sticks to the old fashioned methods in any respect is soon hopelessly outdistanced by his enterprising competitors—whether he runs a corner grocery, florist shop, big wholesale house or a fac tory for national distribution. "In the case of the retail trade the house with strong, light, ca pacious delivery trucks hasa radius of business several times that of the house that depends on horses and wagons. "In larger business the problem of delivery to market or shipping points i may well become, and often does j became, oneon which the profit de- I pends. "The motor truck has solver these . problems. With such improvements ' as the powerful motor, specialized j for rough trucking duty, the internal 1 gear drive and the strengthening of j all parts as the result of concentra- j tion of years of specialized science, | there is not a haul to which the \ truck is not adapted. And In every ' case the truck is by rar the most j economical method of hauling. "It is even taking the place of | railroads. Cases come under our ob- i servation where the Republic is used i for transportation of ferihlit seven ty-five miles away. The truck can undoubtedly he used with profit for even greater distances. "It must be apparent even to the casual observed that the old, slow horse-drawn trucks and drays have disappeared to a large extent from i the streets. If you will think of it. they are something of a curiosity. In their place you see five-tonners that seem to speed along with all the load that can be put on them. One of the principle reasons for the rapid change to the truck is the sur passing success of the strictly truck construction for truck work. McAdoo Refuses Cars For Philadelphia Parade Philadelphia.

[Continued from First Pax 4 ',] which flows a constant stream ot'j war traffic between England and France. It was only yesterday that a pow-| erful squadron of German destroy-! ers made a sudden raid in the Straits I of Dover and Sank eight British small craft out on a submarine chase. Survivors of Patrol Act With Exceptional Bravery By Associated Press Dover, Feb. 16.—The weather was thick and the night was dark when the German destroyers dashed upon British patrol vessels in the Strait of Dover early Friday morning and sank eight of them. The patrol ves sels, being equipped only with light armament for antisubmarine work, did not have a chance once the Ger mans got among them. The crew bore themselves with the same coolness and courage that drifter men have shown in innumer able circumstances of danger and difficulty. In one noteworthy inci dent, a drifter was shelled at close quarters by two German destroyers, whose thirty pound shells killed all of the crew except two and set the drifter atire. The two survivors, seeing their craft ablaze and be lieving it would sink, launched a boat. They had not rowed far when they saw the vessel was still afloat and the enemy retiring. They re turned, put out the Are, and brought the drifter to p6rt. AGED CONSTABLE KILLS A MAN [Continued from First Page.] conducted the case against Sterner this morning. The aged mnn was arrested this morning and was lodged in the county jail at New Bloomtield this afternoon under a charge of mur der. District Attorney McKee said this morning that Sterner admitted shooting the man. Sterner had been trying to serve a warrant on McKelvey for some time, it is said, but, due to the constable's feebleness, caused by old age, and his near blindness, McKelvey was al ways able to elude him simply by walking away. Last night McKelvey and his brother were talking togeth er in front of F. E. Wase's grocery store, when Sterner came up to serve the warrant. McKelvey start ed to walk off, and the old consta ble drew his revolver and ilred. Die* In Half an Hour McKelvey was shot in the spleen, the wound causing death in a half* hour. He was carried to the office of Dr. D. F. Healo by his brother and some other men who were at tracted by the sound of the shot. Sterner proceeded to his residence unmolested. Sterner has been constable at Dun cannon for many years. His extreme old age has made him very feeble, but lie has continued his duties as constable in spite of it. He has not been called upon to use force in the discharge of his duty for many, years, until last night. It was not even known that he carried a gun. McKelvey was wanted on a quasi criminal charge. He was 25 years old and a laborer employed on the railroad at Duncannon. He lived in Market street, as does Sterner. Mc- Kelvey was unmarried.
