    SEARCHING FOR
BODY OF HANEY,
KILLED BY I.W.W.
Posse of Forty Expected to
Meet Further Bloodshed
in Their Hunt
Centralis, Wash., Nov. IT.—He
ports are expected to-day from the
posse of forty men, which yesterday
began to scour the country in search
of the body of John Haney. 49. a
, rancher of Terino, who is believed
to have fallen in a light with alleged
Industrial Workers of the World
Saturday.
Captain Lloyd Dysart, local com
mander of the posse in the district,
said it would require of all yester
day to reach the scene of Saturday's
battle.
Members of the first posse said it
was probable the recovery of Ha
ney's body would be attended by
further bloodshed, because of tbe
fact that he fell within 100 yards of
Hunter's Cabin, wherein the I. W.
W. were believed to be still lurk
ing. The place is surrounded by
dense woods. Every outlet is being
guarded. Captain E'ysart was direct
ing to-day's operations.
"We have verified the fact that
Haney fell when fired upon from
ambush," said Dysart. "A com
rade saw him drop at the first vol
ley.
Haney, with three other men, had I
become separated from the mainj
party and were working their way
toward Hunter's Cabin, where, ac
cording to information which he had
obtained. Bert Bland, Hansen and
one other radical were hiding. A:
volley rang out and Haney, who was
ahead, was seen to fall. The firing
became general and bullets whistled
all around our possemen one of
whom sprained his ankle and was!
forced to drag himself away. The 1
other two were unable to continue
the fight unaided and withdrew, ,
as they could not locate the source |
of the firing accurately in the semi- j
darkness of the woods."
Herman's Hard Play on
Hotchkiss Team Praised
Edwin S. Herman, son of the :
president of the City Planning Coin- j
mission, is distinguishing himself as '
a quarterback on the Hotchkiss '
football team. He was one of the j
stars in the game on Friday •
with the Hill school at Potts- !
town, where Hotchkiss won by j
a large secore and the news /
dispatches speak of him as a bril- j
liant gridiron performer. After a !
number of difficult plays, which j
netted additional points for Hotch- j
kiss, young Herman was in position j
to add materially to the score when j
the whistle blew and the game
ended.
In a story of the Futtstown game,
published in the Philadelphia
Ledger, appears the following: "The
third period brought into play the
so-called 'Tow* shift, on which Her
man did not run behind the line,
but to the contrary executed a sort
of a fox trot, suddenly bowling into
a tackle, through which the play
followed. The play repeatedly put j
Perkins and Por.d into Hill's line for
substantial gains. Pond raced across
for the third touchdown shortly be
fore the third period concluded. The
interference of Hotchkiss team ex
hibited weeks and weeks of drilling
in which Coach Monohan's teachings
shone.
Among the Harrisburgers who j
were present at the Pottstown game i
were Mr. and Mrs E. S. Herman. |
Mr. and Mrs. H. T. Xeals, Dr. and [
Mrs. Harvey F. Smith. Robert Smith J
and Conway Olmsted, Mr. and Mrs. I
John C. Herman, A. H. Stackpole. !
C. D. Stucker, Miss Marguerite
Stucker. Richard Robinson. Miss
Mary Creighton, Miss Dorothy Cox,
all of Harrisburg, and Mr. and Mrs.
C. O. Kressler, of Lebanon.

MONDAY EVENING,
I RATLROAD
RAIL EARNINGS
STILL FALL SHORT
No Hope For Government To
Reduce Deficit—Need
Protection
j Reports of railroads under Fed
j eral control to the Interstate Com
j merce Commission for September
I and the first three-quarters of the
j current year show that the improve
i ment in last month's earnings, while
I considerable, when looked at from
the Railroad Administration view
point. will not serve materially to
offset the operating deficit which
has accumulated.
For September the Pennsylvania
Company reported a gross revenue
of $10,401,552, an increase of sl,-
065.292; net revenues. $1,338,761.
; an increase of $314,437.
The Pennsylvania Railroad, gross
revenue. $36,906,616; decrease.
$248,351; net revenue, $2,324,401;
decrease. $1,674,875.
For nine months. Pennsylvania
Company, net revenue, 575.583.585;
increase, $11,576,789; net revenue,
$7,585, 254: increase, $3,873,096.
Pennsylvania Railroad for nine
months: Gross revenue. $282,854.-

enue, $17,278,035; decrease. $2,385,-

Total Revenues
Total operating revenue of Class
1 roads, as reported to the comniis- ;
sion, were $498,762,533 in Septem-i
I ber. as compared with $489,697.449,,
! in the corresponding month in 1918. ;
Total ope rat.ng expenses increased
i from $371,712,095 to $400,171,692.)
i Net operating income of the roads
j for the nine months ended with .
i September was approximately $400,-
I 000,000. as compared with about
, $520,000,000 in tbe preceding year, j
! about $373,000,000 in 1917. the last!
! vears of private operation, and j
roughly $650,000,000 standard re- i
1 turn guaranteed by the •government. j
Since the end of last June the .■
i line has been running below last
i vear's record, and estimates indicate
' that its relative position will be ;
| maintained until January 1, with
: the final operating deficit between I
I $100,000,000 and $150,000,000 more
: than in 1918.
This plainly shows that the rela
-1 tion between railway income and ex
penditure during Federal control
was and is abnormal, and recent re- ,
ports from Washington indicate that
Congress, which finally will enact
remedial railroad legislation, is not ;
overlooking that some step must
be taken to return that relationship
to a healthy condition.
One reason for the growth of j
American prosperity has been the j
comparatively cheap transportation !
charges. With the war resulting in •
a revision upward of all prices and i
expenses .railroad men and bankers j
say service such as has been given j
by the carriers in the past cannot ,
be continued when it costs more |
than it earns. The roads will ask i
increased rates, and a belief is
growing that increases will be
granted before a deterioration in j
service will be permitted.
Railroad men do not believe that I
final transportation legislation will j
be passed next month. They be- j
liere temporary legislation will be :
enacted providing for a return of the i
properties to their owners on Janu- !
arv 1 and an extension of the pres- |
ent guarantee by the government, j
Final legislation, they say. probably j
will go over until next year.

Supreme Council Is
Discussing Ship Status
Paris, Nov. 17.—The status of the
! Imperrftor and other German ships
i aggregating 170,000 tons, now in po
ssession of the United States, was dis
i cussed by the Supreme Council to
i day. Great Britain has claimed that
i the action of the United States Ship-
I ping Board in retaining the vessels
I was a distinct violation of the agree
! ment in the Supreme Council that
! these steamers should be turned over
to the British as soon as they had
finished transporting American
troops.
The British representatives to-day
explained that England was crowded
with men from the colonies eager to
return to their homes in various parts
of the world, but whose return is be
ing delayed because the United States
is retaining possession of the Ger
man ships in New York harbor. The
council took no action on the sub
ject at to-day's session.

sport was the same as in former
, years. The diplomatic representa
tives of virtually all the Latin Amer

j information reaching Reval. The dis
organization of his army is daily more
.evident. The Yudeniteh forces are
i crowded together In a small space
[near Yamburg.
! A week ago General Yudeniteh in-
i QUired as to what Ksthonia would do
if he were obliged to cross the Ks
thonlan frontier. The answer was that
he could take over his hospitals and
isnpplies. but that his troops must
! disarm.
Bolshevik pressure has been too
great to allow Yudeniteh to reorgnn
; tze his forces, and since the loss of
.Yamburg the situation has become
i aggravated.

BETA CAPRICORNI
TO OCCULTATE!
Turkey and football will not
alone feature Thanksgiving Day.
There is to be a big offering after
dark in the way of occupation
of the star Beta Capricorni by
the moon. In plain words, the
big star is to hide behind the
moon.
It :s said the spectacle will be
visible to the naked eye through
out the eastern part of the coun
try. A bulletin issued from the
Harvard Astronomical Laboratory
says:
"Shortly after sunset of No
vember 27 this star of the third
magnitude will be found. If the
evening is clear, close to the dark
side of the moon, which at that
time will be four days old. About
6 P. M., or a few minutes later,
the star will suddenly disappear
behind the moon, to reappear
some time later on the illumined
side." |
MOUNTAIN FOLK AND
SOCIETY AT SAME CHURCH
By Associated Press.
White Sulphur Springs. W. Va., Nov. 17.—The modest little
wooden church which nestles among the pine trees on the moun
tainside here probably for the first time in its existence had a capac
ity congregation- yesterday, with the double attraction of a bishop
preaching and a royal prince as one of the worshipers. When the
Prince of Wales entered the edifice, every seat, with the exception
of those reserved for him nnd his suite, was occupied. Among the
trees outside the church the old-fnshioned buggies of the mountain
folk were tied alongside the luxurious limousines of the resort's
social colony.
The sermon was preached by Bishop William L. Gravatt, of
West Virgtnia, % who took for his text: "He set his face steadfastly
to go to Jerusalem." The substance of the sermonr was the necessity
of every man, prince or peasant, to have a purpose in life.
At the close of the service the Prince waited at the door of the
church to greet the Bishop, who surprised hint by telling him that
he had been introduced to him once before in laindon when the
British heir was a boy of seven.
