Costa Rica Revolution Is Over and Order Restored San Jose. Costa Rica, Feb. 25. — The revolution in Costa Rica has been put down and order'has been completely restored.

LEADERS FEEL SENATE AND HOUSE ARE WON Plans For Congressional Elec tions Will Re Started This Week Washington, Feb. 25.—Prepara tions for the Congressional elections will be made this week when Will H. Hays, newlv-elected chairman of the Republican national committee and Representative Frank P. Woods, chairman of the Republican Con gressional committee confer and map a policy of campaign to be employed by both organizations which will work in complete harmony in the campaign to control the next Con gress. In the opinion of Republican lead ers the party has never been so firm ly united since 1908 as now. The election of Mr. Hayes at St. Louis, recently dictated in some degree by the Progressive wing, has brought back the recalcitrants. The re-elec tion of Mr. Woods to head the Re publican Congressional committee has had the same effect. According to Republican leaders the campaign will not partake of an attack upon the war policies of Pres ident Wilson. They propose to leave the Democrats to defend their own policies, believing that their de fense will rebound to the benefit of the Republican candidates. The su preme issue of the campaign will be a full exploitation of the treatment of labor by the administration. Great confidence is expressed by Republican leaders here that both the House and Senate will be con trolled by the Republicans in the next election. In the Senate the Republicans figure on having a ma-, jority of at least th'ree and possibly six. Figures in the House are less definite, as it is harder to obtain ac curate statements in a larger body. Not the least doubt is expressed by the Republicans of getting control of the House by a substantial major ity. There are more Republicans than Democrats in the House at the pres [ ent time. As a matter of fact, if , the Republicans were disposed to be | ugiv and use to'its fullest extent their | political power in the House they could unseat Champ Clark, Speaker of the House; elect a Republican Speaker in his place, and oust all the present force of Democratic em ployes, replacing them by Republi cans. This situation is due to the : fact that there are six vacancies in ! the Democratic ranks, caused either j by death or resignations, making the ; total Democratic membership only ! 208. The Republicans have a total i membership, of 214. Three of these, | Representative LaGuarda, of New ! York; Heintz, of Ohio, and Johnson, i of South Dakota, are in the Army, I and a fourth Republican. Cooper, of | Ohio, has offered his services. By getting these men back for a vote the Republicans could control the House. Against Injecting Politics The possibility of such an event has not been overlooked, but the Re publicans have refrained from using this means because they don't want to inject politics fnto the war. Sproul Expedition to Aid Astronomy Philadelphia, Feb. 23. State Sena tor William C. Sproul. of Chester, who has long been interested in astronomi cal research, has arranged an expedi tion to observe the total eclipse of the sun which occurs on June 8, it be came known here yesterday. The Sproul Observatory Expedition as it has been named, will be financed by the Senator, who recently communi cated his intention to the board of managers of Swarthmore College, from which he graduated in IS9I. The expedition will be led by Pro fessor John A. Miller, director of the Sproul Observatory, an institution founded by the Senator in commemo ration of the twentieth anniversary of his graduation class. From the standpoint of astronomical science in this country, this is a most important eclipse because the path is so long and so accessible, and be cause war conditions make it neces sary that it be observed almost ex clusively by Americans. The path of the moon's shadow will enter the United States from the Pa- | cific ocean a little south of the middle of the State of Washington, travel southeast along a diagonal, leaving the United States near the southern end of Florida. Hospital and Supply Depots at Hancock Cost a Million Augusta, Ga., Feb. 25.—A conva lescent hospital and supply depots are to be erected at Camp Hancock at once, at a cost of $1,000,000, it was announced here. The sum to be spent on the hospital and ware houses will almost equal the original cost of building the camp. The site of the new buildings will be near the base hospital. MAKE A HERO OF ALEEXBY Arabs See Fulllllnient of Prophecy in Entrance to Jerusalem London, Feb. 25.—The name of General Allenby, commander of the British forces in Palestine which took Jerusalem, has given him a remarkable prestige in the East, ac cording to statements told by mili tary men returning from Palestine. For many generations, it is said, there has been a poetic prophecy ; current among the Arabs and other | non-Turkish tribes of the East that < "he who shall save Jerusalem and i exalt her among nations will enter the city afoot, and his name will be God the Prophet." General Allenby entered Jerusalem by the Joppa Gate on foot, and now, it seems, his .name is being inter preted by the tribesmen as Allah Nabi, the former word meaning "God" and the latter "Prophet." Therefore his triumph over the Turks has been accepted as a di rect divine interposition. SEKGEANT BI.AKE TO SPEAK Sergeant. John K.

HERSHEY PLANT RESUMES AFTER $1,000,000 FIRE Officials Relieve Rlaze Started by Spontaneous Com bustion Officials of the Hershey Chocolate Company this morninp. were of the opinion that the fire which destroy ed the fourth floor and a great quan tity of powdered chocolate in the blaze at building No. 25. early yes terday morning, was started by spon taneous combustion. Officials pointed out that this is possible because of the special process used in this build ing for the manufacture of choco lf.te. Revised estimates by the com pany to-day placed the loss as high a;- $1,000,000. While orders of the chocolate i ompany will be heid up temporarily, officials at the plant stated that there will be no great delay because j of the fire. Workmen started late j yesterday to clear up the debris and . the work of rebuilding Will begin at once. The men who ordinarily work in the ruined part of the buildinr will bo given immediate employment in other parts of tln> establishment. The lire was discovered at 5.15 yes terday morning. The watchman in the building was In the room at 4 o'clock and saw no signs of lire. When discovered at 5.15, the tire was ragiirt furiously. It is credited by the officials that only the steel and concrete fireproof construction of the building prevented the fire from spreading throughout the en tire building. The fire smouldered for several hours among the powdered choco late and firemen remained on duty ;.M morning in case the flames should show signs of breaking out anew More than 1.000.00u pounds of ehoeo !r.to in process of manufacture, stored on the fourth floor where the fire occurred, was destroyed and ether stock throughout tlie building was damaged by smoke and water. There was .also a loss in equipment The loss is estimated at between $500,000 and $1,000,000. Oflleia's arc at work to-day appraising the loss. The Hershey Chocolate Company is at work on government contracts, manufacturing chocolate for the Army. The chocolate is used when the soldiers are put on emergency rations of hardtack and chocolate. The local concern has been making great quantities of the chocolate. Railways Co. Placing New Wheels on Cars; 639 Discarded in Year Figures compiled to-day at the of fices of the llarrisburg Railways Company show that during the year 1917, 689 tlat car wheels, represent ing 14 1 tons, were thrown on the scrap pile. On an average more than fifty-three wheels were discarded each month. During one month sev enty-four reached the scrap heap. Slippery rails, which allow the car to slide after the wheels are stopped, cause flat wheels principally, and the flatness may develop before the car is out of the barn an hour. There is practically no remedy for a flat wheel, except removal, and at the present time a gang of men is at work in the ear shops removing flat wheels and replacing them with perfect ones. Thus far this year sixty-six new wheels have been placed, and this figure will be greatly increased dur ing the next three or four weeks. The recent snowstorms, which made the rails snowbound and icy, flattened a record number of car wheels and seriously damaged the electrical equipment of the cars. This latter damage was given attention first, so that cars could be kept running. Cars suffering with the worst fiat wheel?, however, were given new ones as soon as they could be replaced. Dam age to the electrical equipment in all cars will soon be repaired and now a gang of men is at work daily plac ing new wheels on cars which have been carrying flattened ones. The worst wheels will he removed each day until all of the cars are in good shape again. Freight congestion is making it difficult, too. to get new wheels, although the company at pres ent has enough oil hand to take care of replacements needed now. A few days ago a carload was received. • Matters of Grave Moment Face Educational Ass'n Atlantic City, Feb. 25. —Establish a Federal Department of Education, the head of which will be a member of the cabinet.
