Keller, first deputy attorney gen oral, in the application of the Penn sylvania Railroad for appointment of Mrs. Kate A. Campbell as a special police officer. Mr. Keller says: "A woman could serve in such a capacity in connection with railroad work with advantage to all interested parties." and says also that it is the judgment of the legal department that "her duties should be directed especially to work in and about stations, for the protection of women and children traveling." Mr. Keller says further: "That such an appointment has not previously been asked for a woman and that none has previously been granted does not interfere with your right to make the appointment if you deem the appli cant a proper person and the purpose of her appointment a desirable one."

STEELTON NEWS ITEMS CROWD ATTACKS PATROLMAN WINN Officer Narrowly Escapes In jury When Trying to Disperse Crowd Patrolman John Winn narrowly escaped serious injury this morning when he made efforts to disperse a crowd causing a disturbance at Main and Francis streets at 12.30 o'clock. The patrolman, approaching the crowd of men, asked them to scatter j and discontinue the singing and j noisemaking. The patrolman had no sooner given his orders until he was attacked by Archie Hammaker.

His mace was wrenched i from his hand and one of the row j dies proceeded to use it on its owner. I After some difficulty Patrolman Winn succeeded in placing Archie Hammacker and George Miller, an other man of the crowd, under ar rest. These men he took to the bor ough lockup and returned to the I West Side, where he found James | Dailey in a street near the scene of | the disturbance. He arrested Dailey and took him to the lockup. In the meantime a call was sent into the police station for assistance. Chief Grove and Patrolmen Burrel and Bowermaster rushed to the West Side, but were unable to locate any of the offenders. The three lawbreakers are being held pending an investigation, the chief said. The need of a patrol, which Chief Grove recommended to council list year, was emphasized last night when the men were compelled to get over to the West Side the best way they could. The consequence was that the crowd had dispersed by t le time the officers arrived and no more •. 1 the rowdies were arrested. IN OFFICERS TRAINING Paul D.
