TRACK RIGHTS TO BE FOR WAR ONLY Public Service Commission Announces Decision in the Erie City Case Public Service Vv\\ Commission in re- V-SNNffJ gard to extension SNTJ desired for emer gency use. espec- RjQnDBgV ially when need- I ffSWWtSrfaw to * Hul men : MUllffitjlulli l * or war construe -1 feg* S tion, is outlined sued by the com mission to-day relative to applica tions for rights for additional tracks in the city of Erie. Ordinances for the extensions were passed and the Navy Department asked that they be approved and also secured the ma terial for construction. One of the extensions is to be on highways about Perry park in the center of the city. The order is on a high- j way for which a double track is i asked. The commission finds that the city passed the franchise ordinances in an effort to co-operate with the Navy Department, but has doubts as to the necessity of using streets about the park. "We cannot overlook the fact that the record fails to disclose the necessity for permanently bur dening the city by this construc tion" it says in granting approval as a "temporary measure at the request of the United States govern ment and the rights secured thereby will expire six months after the con- . elusion of the war." In the other ! case it is declared that with two j tracks the unencumbered portion of | the highway would be too narrow to ! accommodate traffic, but in a desire I to "assist the government in furnish- j ing adequate transit facilities to the j greatly increased number of men j engaged in war work" the com- I mission grants approval with the j condition that the company and the j city arrange to widen the street after i the war.

M. to 7:30 P. M. daily except Sunday, while it must abolish the rule requiring ex cess certificates to be presented with in days. The commission j comments on the case by saying ! there is no reason apparent why the I same method of procedure as fol- j lowed on steam railroads should not ' apply to an interurban railway from ; stations on its line where tickets j are offered for sale.

Mineral medicines work dangerously on the delicate parts of the system, espe cially the stomach and bowels, by eating out the lining membrane, BLISS NATIVE HERB TABLETS GREATLY RELIEVE RHEUMATISM 1 Many sufferers from rheumatism acute or chronic, have been greatly benefited by the regular use of Bliss Native Herb Tablets.

Both party and "dry" workers will be busy to-morrow. It will be largely up to them to get' out the vote. lleldlemnn Strong It goes without saying that Sena tor 'Beidieman will beat Scott to a frazzle in his home county. The Sen ator, who cut his campaign three days short to argue the mine dock age case for the Dauphin county | miners before the Dauphin county i courts, and who won it for them, is j positive that he will not only win at i home, but that he will go to Phila ; delphia with a majority and carry that city. ! "The outlook is entirely satisfac tory to me," he said to-day. "I feel | confident that I will be nominated. I have tried to keep my campaign on the high plane of purely constructive policies and wherever possible have refrained from personalities. I find the people in no mood to be other than extremely serious. They have more to think about just now than petty political squabbling. They want to know the character of the candidates, what are their records j and what they stand for. I have tried to tell them. I have met with J wonderful receptions wherever I ! have gone and feel certain I shall be | nominated." That is also the prediction of i Frank A. Smith, former county chair- | man, who is managing the Beidle- . man campaign. Andrew Redmond, chairman of the i local Beidieman committee, says he has reports from every district in the county and every one favorable. Sproul Strong Here "Senator sj®bul is also very strong in Dauphin county," said Mr. Smith to-day. "I believe he will carry the county by a big majority." Senator Sproul's dignified and constructive platform won friends for him here from the very firsts His long legislative career has made him a familiar figure in the city and he numbers his friends by the thou sand. The O'Neil forces were distinctly in the minority to-day and were largely confined to those driven into line for the Highway Commissioner by the attitude of tjie State Admin istration. Former employes of the State Highway Department are open ly for Sproul. Anonymous Letter An anonymous circular was scat tered about Harrisburg during last night and has aroused much indig nation among Catholic citizens. It was a rabid assault about one Re publican and two .Democratic candi dates on account of their religious faith. In view of the fact that thou sands of Catholics are serving in the various branches of the national forces and are participating in the : activities for the support of the Gov- j ernment, the intimation that they ! are a menace to "American institu- I tions" is regarded as a contemptible j and dastardly assault in the dark, i Creeds and denominational lines are rapidly disappearing under the pres- j sure of the war and the raising of | a religious issue at this time in, a political campaign is regarded by j Catholics and others as bigotry in its j worst form.
