For the week ending September 20, the surgeon general's office re ported to-day, the death rate was 4.4 per cent., compared with 2.3 per cent, the preecVing week. This in crease was attributed in large meas ure to influenza but the report point ed out that the figures do nott show the seriousness of the situation, as since test Friday there has been a further rapid spread of the epidemic with many deaths. While the epidemic heretofore has been prevalent chiefly near the At lantic seaboard, the surgeon gener al's office said it may be expected to sweep westward with a still greater increase in mortality in the next few weeks. Orders issued last night by Pro vost Marshal General Crowder can celling calls for entrainment of 142.- 000 draft registrants between Octo ber 7 and 11, were due to the serious conditions in many camps and were said by health officials to be abso lutely necessary at this time. Un less the disease obtains an unex pected foothold in sections not pre viously affected, however, it is be lieved here that the next few days may show a decided improvement. This will depend on weather condi tions. Continuation of rain and cold in New England is regarded as ex tremely detrimental to the effort to subdue the epidemic there. New York. Sept. 27.—Twenty deaths here front Spanish influenza, and seven from pneumonia, some of the latter due to influenza, were re ported to the health department to day. This is a greater number than the total deaths reported since the diseaso flrst became prevalent on July 1. RIOTS IX INDIA QUELLED Simla. India, Sept. 27.

HARKISBURG TELEGRAPH SHORTER HOURS FOR CITY STORES FUEL NECESSITY Hickok and Jackson Issue Joint Statement Explain ing Local Situation Just why It Is deemed necessary to open stores later and close them earlier during the cold months is explained by a joint statement issued to-day over the signatures of Ross A. Hickok, federal fuel administra tor. and Warren R. Jackson, secre tary of the Chamber of Commerce. It is all a matter of saving fuel. Less coal and light will be necessary under the new plan, and every pound of coal saved by business places or industries will give householders that much more for domestic con sumption at a time when every care tnust.be taken to avoid a serious shortage in that direction. The new schedule of 9 o'clock opening and -not later than 5.30 o'clock closing will go into effect Monday, September 30, and an effort is being made to have every mer chant in the city co-operate. The Statement The joint statement of Messrs. Hickolt and Jackson follows: "At the request of the Federal Fuel Administrator for Dauphin I county a committee of merchants was appointed by the ITarrisburg : Chamber of Commerce to confer | with the fuel administrator and the i members of the fuel commission for Dauphin county with regard to the adoption of a schedule of uniform closing hours for the merchants of Harrisburg, for the purpose of con serving fuel and light to aid in the winning of the war. At this confer ence, which was held on September 16, the following preamble and res olution were adopted: " 'Whereas. The Federal Fuel Ad ministrator for Dauphin county has requested the merchants of Harris burag to aid in conserving fuel: " 'Therefore Be It Resolved. That, as a patriotic measure to aid in the conservation of fuel for the winning of the war, the merchants of Harris burg be requested, until further no tice, to open their stores for business not earlier than 9 o'clock a. ni. on any* business day and to close them not later than 5.30 o'clock p. nt. on any business day except Saturday and on Saturdays not later than 9 o'clock p. m., effective September 30, 1918.' "In the selection of . the hours, which have been adopted the con ferees considered carefully the hours which would effect the greatest sav ing of fuel throughout the entire business district and at the sanje time cause the lease possible incon venience to the patrons and em ployes of the various establish ments. Agreement Reached "At the suggestion of the fuel ad ministrator the following agreement was drawn up and the Chamber of Commerce was requested to ask each merchant, willing to co-operate in ttys fuel conservation movement, to indicate his approval by signing same. " 'Earnestly desiring to aid, in ev ery way, in the winning of the war and in compliance with the request contained in the foregoing resolu tion, the following merchants of the city of Harrisburg pledge them selves to observe, until further no tice, the opening and closing hours for business, specified in said reso lution.' "An effort has been made to see each merchant personally regarding this matter, but because of physical limitations it has been impossible as yet to see everyone. It is, therefore, urged that all merchants who have not as yet been interviewed call at the Chamber of Commerce offices in the Dauphin building or notify the organization by telephone of their desire to join with the fuel admin istrator in this effort. "The new schedule is to be opera tive on and after Monday, September 30, and it is hoped that all mer chants will observe the new schedule oh and after this date. "Every businessman compiling with this request of the fuel admin istration jvill be supplied with a placard for display in his place of business, indicating that he is co operating in the movement. "Anyone desiring any further in formation regarding this plan is re quested to get in touch with either Ross A. Hickok, fuel administrator for Dauphin county telephone No. 4943, or the secretary of the Cham ber of Commerce, telephone No. 4120. "In requesting the Chamber of Commerce to take up this matter the fuel administrator did so because he felt that this organization is the proper medium for presenting the matter to the businessmen of the city. The chamber in handling the proposition, is. acting simply as a medium for carrying out the wishes of the fuel administration. "The fuel commission for Dauphin county believes that the maximum conservation of fuel can be secured by the retail stores only through uni formity of business hours and through the general observance of the plan by the merchants of the city." Anti-Slacker League Makes First Report The Anti Slacker Secret League is getting busy. The Mayor this morn ing received a communication from the league givinb the name of a man said to be living in Wallace street, above Reily. who, she says, "works about one->third of his time and is drunk the rest." The name is given, as well as that of his son, who is said to be the same sort of slacker. Mayor Keister said he. would turn the names over to Jacob Lightner, of the State Employment Bureau, far inves tigation. To Hold Liberty Loan Rally at Car Shops The planing mill of the Lucknow car shops will be the scene of a Liberty Loan meeting of the em ployes at noon to-morrow in the in terest of the fourth issue of Liberty Bonds.

TWO NOTED MEN TO SPEAK BEFORE C.OFC.MEMBERS L. S. Rowc, Assistant U. S. Treasurer, Conies at Same Time as J. L. Replogle J. LI REPLOGLE L. S. Rawe, assfstant treasurer of the United States, will address the members of the Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce, nevt Wednesday noon at luncheon in the Board of Trade building, appearing on the samo program with J. Leonard Replogle, the noted government steel expert. Seldom have two such distinguished men appeared before the chamber cn the same day and Secretary War ren 'R. Jackson considers Harris burg fortunate, as at this time there is a great demand for speakers in the various Liberty Loan drives. Mr. Replogle is considered by Charles M. Schwab as one of the big steel men of the world and he is director of steel supplies of the War Industries Board, with headquarters at Washington. Mr. Rowe has had a distinguished career. He is a graduate of universi ties here and abroad and was a mem ber of the commission to devise and codify the laws of Porto Rico, under which code the island is now gov erned; has been delegate represent ing the United States in Pan-Amer ican conferences and conventions and is the author of books, magazine articles and reports that' have at tracted international attention.
