COAST-TO-COAST
LINE IS BROUGHT
AGAIN TO FRONT
Big Project Broached as Re
.. suit of Revival of South
Penn Scheme
Exploitation of the potentialities
of the long-dormant South Penn
Railroad project and the likelihood
of its revivification by the Pennsyl
vania Railroad which acquired all
rights and titles appertaining to it
more than a generation ago. has led
to the disclosure of ,a ygt more am
bitious and comprehensive one, of
which, however, the South Penn line
Wilt form an integral part, should it
eventuate. Moreover, fpur lines dij
tinctlvely local to Pittsburgh—the
Union Railroad, a subsidiary of the
Carnegie Company; the Mon
tour owned by the Pitts
burgh Coal Company; the Pittsburgh
and. West Virginia Railroad and its
subsidiary, the West Side Belt Rail
road—all figure prominently in the
scheme.
Outlined briefly, the greater por
ject contemplates the constitution of
a coast-to-coast military all-rail
route to be permanently under gov
ernment control, whatever disposi
tion shall be made of the roads now
so controlled and operated. This, ac
cording to the tentative plans al
ready made and which, it is under
stood, have been submitted to and
approved by the Washington author
ities, -is to be effected by the inclusion
of a number of roads already in
operation in the system and the con
struction of requisite connecting
links to form a continuous line.
As projected, tpe Eastern terminus
of the line will be Port Newark, N.
J., whence a road would be built
straight across the State of New Jer
sey to Portland, a station of the Le
high and New England Railroad In
the eastern part of Pennsylvania.
The rails of this line are to be utilized
from Portland to Slatington on the
Philadelphia and Reading Railroad
whose Schuylkill and branch
it will use to Virglnsville. Thence to
Hamburg an abandoned line of the
Reading will be rehabilitated and
utilized and from this last-mention
ed point it is proposed to follow an
old survey of the South Mountain
Railroad to Harrisburg where the
Susquehanna River will he crossed
and the South Penn survey be picked
up and followed to a junction with
the Union Railroad at Bessemer.
Old Wubasli Route
All Of this section of the route willl
involve new construction, including
completion of a tunnel through Tus
ckrora mountain, started years ago,
the line through Fulton county to a
point near Bedford, thence to Mann's
Choice on the Juniata division of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, and in its
course to Donegal and Scottdale,
skirting Mount Pleasant and through
Jacobs' Creek Valley to the Yough
iogheny river, where it will come
upon an old survey which it will fol
low to Bessemer. From Bessemer it
is proposed to utjlize the rails of
the Union Railroad to Mifflin Junc
a junction with the existing Western
Pacific, which It will follow to Pacific
tidewater at Oakland, Cal.
Despite the apparent deviousness
of the route as planned, reference
to the map will disclose a consistency
of direction that is quite remarkable.
From the Atlantic seaboard terminus
to St. I-ouls its course is just a Utile
sputh of west and thence to the Pa
cific seaboard almost due west as the
crow flies. Nor is it in the least chim
erical, according to its projectors,
who have produced figures to prove
that it may be created at a minimum
of time, effort and cost, while the
advantage it would be to the gov
ernment is obvious. In any event the
project appears to possess merit suf
ficient to have secured for it serious
consideration by the authorities at

TUESDAY EVENING.
METHODISTS ATTEND
BIG ANNUAL BANQUET
More Than 550 Dine at Second Big Event; Wonderful Strides
of Church Told by Speakers
At the second annual banquet off
Methodists of Harrisburg and vicin
ity held at the Masonic Temple last
night, plans were outlined which
showed the extent to which the peo
i pie of this denomination have de
termined to carry their work in this
city. Just as the state is proposing
to make the State Capital a center
from which may radiate, through
the state, ideas and plans for civic
and material improvements, just so
are the Methodists of Harrisburg
planning that their work may, be an
inspiration and encouragement to the
religious and spiritual development
throughout the- entire Common
wealth. It was shownMhat wonderful
strides had been made by the Metho- :
dist churches of this district during\
the past year and that the plans fori
the near future embrace the most:
important operations that any de
nomination has ever attempted Jn
this city.
More than 530 were gathered at
the banquet and for the second time
it was found that the spacious ban-,
quet hall at the Masonic Temple was 1
entirely inadequate to accommodate
the splendid turnout of enthusiastic
church workers. The addresses or
the evening were very eloquent and
forceful, the principal speaker being
Bishop William F. McDowell. of
Washington; Dr. W. Doughty, of
New York; the Rev. Morris E.
Swartz, H. L. Price and H. S. Du
laney, of Baltimore, and District
Superintendent Edgar R. Heckman,
of this tlty, also had prominent parts

ocean. He has a wonderful story
to tell about his battles a mile or
more abo've the clouds.
His story of the early days of the
war when lives were doubly risked
by fighting in airplanes unsafe for
travel under the best of conditions,
of the later days when the machines
were perfected and in them they
ventured far over the German lines,
of the cruelties he witnessed on .his
scouting tours, of his almost hope
less days in a dingy Hun prison,—
these and many other points blend
to make a story replete with thrills.
Probably no other American fight
ing in France under ours or any
other colors became so well known
: and so much talked about in this
locality as Walter Shaffer. His let
ters that were published in the Ilar
risburg Telegraph gripped the inter
est of thousands of readers. His
narrative of exciting adventure in
the struggle against the Hun read
like the linking episodes of a mov
ing picture serial, and the public
followed them with even greater
zest because they were founded on
fact Readers got 'to the point
where they were Impatient in their
Wait for the next chapter In Shaf
fer's wonderful story, and now that
he is back home again there are
thousands who have never laid eyes
on him who consider themselves his
friends. This Is typified by the huge
stack of mail received by the young
aviator at his home in Dauphin
every day, letters from folks he
never heard of before urging him
to come to this place or that place
to deliver his story from theater
stage or church platform, and fol
lowing his first public appearance
at the Orpheum next Monday even
ing a route will be laid out for Shaf
fer so that he can-comply with these
requests and carry his thrilling page
of history personally into the towns
that have come to know him through
the pages of the press.
Shaffer presents a picture that
makes one glad to gaze upon in his
striking French blue uniform dotted
many times by medals won for bra
very while flying "over the heads
of the Huns." He is .tail, erect and
manly, and he will tell his thrilling
tale of adventure wlUi an emphasis
that will leave no doubt about the
gratitude of France over the enlist
ment In her forces of such American
bpys as he.
. It is the hope of his friends that
this night at the Orpheum next Mon
day may develop Into a stirring tes
timonial on the part of his neigh
bors, and that none may be pre
vented from hearing his story; the

ROME MOTHER
OF MEMORIALS
Arch of Titus, Still One of the
Eternal City's Marvels, Was
Erected in First Century
Tlie Romans developed a form of
war memorial which was peculiarly
their own and which all their chil
dren among the nations have follow
ed and imitated. That form is the
decorative triumphal arch, which
grew up out of the fact that a special
gate necessarily temporary was
contrived by the city for the return
of conquerors from campaigns abrond.
Of course there was no time to con
struct gates or archways of stone
for the home-coming heroes to pass
through, and perishable construc
tions, probably of wood, were there
fore built, underneath which the
triumph passed.
But as a permanent memorial of
the victory or achievement was de
sired, it by and by occurred to tlje
friends and successors of the success
ful generals to rebuild these arches
in enduring marble. No longer did
they serve as mere gates or entrance
ways; they were generally placed in
an isolated and a commanding posi
tion, where, in solitary grandeur,
_they testified through the centuries
to the glory of the commander and
incidentally commemorated the feats
of his soldiers. These triumphal
arches were purely an invention or
development of Rome.
The Arch of Titos
v One of the oldest of these memorial
arches now standing in Rome is that
of Titus, and it is distinctly a war
memorial. It was built in the First
Century of our era to commemorate
the victory of the Emperor TitUß
over the Jews in the year 70 A. D. It
still bears on its side the sculptured
representation of the 7-branched
sacred candlestick of the Temple of
Jerusalem, which Roman soldiers are
pictured as carrying away.
This arch stood on ehevated ground
cn the Via Sacra, and was built of
marble. In the Middle Ages the
.popes, less interested In the glory flf
the deeds of the empire than in their
own defense against the barbarian,
built this arch into a fort, with bat
tlments, and when it was, in our
time, finally dug out of this mediaeval
rubbish, it was found necessary to
reconstruct the arch.
But it was well restored, .and in
the purity and simplicity of its lines,
the perfect grace of its form a"nd of
Its decorative Corinthian columns, it
is still, probably, the most beautiful
arch in existence, and one whose
suggestion, if Boston's own memorial
Army and Navy Monument for the
present war takes 'the form of an
arch, will have to be considered by
our architects and artists.
The Arch ef Coaataetlne
Some of the arches built by Rome
were in her provinces. Some of these
were mere personal memorials, and
not in any true sense soldiers' monu
ments. But probably the most dis
tinguished arch in existence, in Rome
or elsewhere—the Arch of Constan
tine—was always a war memorial,
for it commemorated the victory of
C'onstantlne, who had then espoused
Christianity (according to the legend
as the result of the vision of the
Flaming Cross) over Maxentius, his
pagan rival for the imperial throne.
It was erected in the Fourth Cen
tury of our era, and is generally ad-
Judged Inferior in design to the
many arches that preceded it. It Is
still, however, a delight to the eyes
of the world, arising in its ornate
majesty near the ancient Forum. It
is rather strange that, although com
memorating the initial triumph of
Christianity, it Is essentially a pagan
memorial, and It invited the con
robbed tjte column of Trajan of
tempt of history because Its builders
sculptures recording the deeds of
Romans in their battles with the
Daqians more than two centuries be
fore. which were transferred to this
arch to describe- —of course quite
falsely—the achievements of the first
Christian emperor In overthrowing
the champion of an effete paganism.
But artistic and traditional pagan
ism were still too powerful, v at the
time when the arch of Constantine
was built, to leave room for any
Christian symbolism on the memorial
—and this In spite of the fact that
Constantine had already adopted the
labarum, or sacred monogram of
Christ, as his emblem.
Rome's Forty Arches
It is an almost staggering thought
that In the city of Rome at the
height of the Augustan age no fewer
than forty triumphal arches were
standing at one time. Rome was not
so large territorially as Boston, and
w can, perhaps, form aome Idea of
the effect of auch a condition by Im
agining forty auch arches, all about
as high as our tallest buildings,
scattered throughout a modern

BUT ONE JUROR IN
BOX FOR TRIAL OF
BUSHMANSLAYER
Defense May Endeavor to
Show Collins, Not Rein
ccker Planned Murder
Gettysburg, Pa., Feb. 4. —With the
entire panel of Jurora already ex
hausted and with two additional men
in the courtroom examined for duty,
but a single man had been selected
this morning to serve on the Jury
that is to try Charles Reinecker,
charged with being an accomplice of
Clarence Collins in the murder of
George Bushman. Collins was found
guilty of murder in the first degree
last week.
Forty additional jurors have been
summoned by Sheriff Hartman for
examination for duty. Their exami
nation will be startd without de
ifiy.
It is believed that the same line
of defense will be followed in this
trial as was followed in that of Col
lins last week. It will be argued that
the case is being tried unconstitu
tionally and that it should be heard
in Cumberland county, where the
deed is alleged to have been com
mitted.
It is possible that the defense
will endeavor to-prove that Rein
ecker did not plan the murder and
that the act was not premeditated
as it was shown to have been In the
case of Collins. The defense hopes
to prove that Reinecker was persuad
ed to participate in the affair by
Collins and to impress on the Jury
men that even though Reinecker be
shown to have been the gunman, a
verdict of first degree murder should
not be rendered.

tic the Columbia organization has
held and it was the consensus of
opinion of the professional, mercan
tile, banking and manufacturing
executives present that the im

feasible and one of the urgent needs
of the very near future. It was the
belief of the speakers that the pro.-
Ject stood much better chance of
being pushed to success through
Congress than byway of the State
Legislature, on account of the in
terstate interests involved and the
large amount of money necessary
for the preliminaries.

An average daily movement of 6,-

Loaded cars handled between this

18,769, westbound.
Traffic conditions have never been
better, it is stated. Open weather
has largely facilitated the work of
the division in handling trains, des
pite the handicap of getting men
and keeping them. On Friday near
ly 8,000 cars were moved.
Curs are being stored at some
points, but this situation is not like

the reconstruction work Is gotten
under way. Quarries in the Altoona
territory that are temporarily shut
down, owing to an over-supply of
limestone delivered to Pittsburgh

Promptness Is Urged
on the Conductors of
the Middle Division
Notices Issued by Passenger Train
master L. C. Banks, of the Middle
division, instruct passenger conduc
tors to employ all their efforts in
having trains discharge and receive
passengers, mail and express
promptly.
Each conductor is urged to leave
the train on its arrival at each sta
tion-stop and look after the loading
of expresß, mall or baggage, so that
as little retention as possible may
develop. Methods were undertaken
last month to speed up the passenger
service over the division, as much
time had been lost.
Complaints have also been made
to officials that some conductors fail
to see that sufficient coaches are
opened at stations to receive or
, discharge patrons. If crowds on the
trains warrant it, both ends of
coaches are to be opened.

Telling the Truth
i
About Used Cars
It pays to tell the truth about used cars*
They should be sold on the same basis as
new cars—on true value.
The motto of our used car department is to
tell the truth about each car.
And we are just as anxious to make our
used car buyers satisfied owners as those
who buy new cars of us.
We always put a car into first class shape
throughout before it is sold.
S
Visit our salesroom, where we have ar
ranged a special display of cars just over
hauled and refinished—and their prices are
unusually low.
