City Manager of Day
ton Declares New
Form of Government
a Success
TELLS RESULTS
ACCOMPLISHED
Says Permanency of Plan Depends on
Intelligent Citizenship and Contin
ued Determination to Keep Parti
san Politics Out of Municipal Affairs
Baltimore, Nov. 20.—"The Commis
iioner-Mana.ger Plan of Government in
the Light of Experience" was dis
cussed by Henry M. Waite, city mana
ger of Dayton, 0., at to-day 'a session of
the National Municipal League. He
declared this new form of city govern
ment was a success, and in answer to
his own question as to whether it could
be a permanent success he said:
"Its permanency depends upon in
telligent. citizenship and their continued,
determination to keep partisan politics
out of municipal affairs."
The Dayton plan of fi\e commission
ers-at-large and non partisan had re
sulted in the election of sound business
men, he said. They selected the man
ager, and the latter selected the di
rectors of the five departments—Law,
Finance, Welfare, Service and Safety.
''l cannot tell you the political
faith of the commissioners or the direct
ors," he said. "They are selected for
their ability.
"In our Finance department," he
continued, "our new accounting system
is the same as would be found in any
largo business. Our budget is scientific.
Every month the head of each depart
ment receives a complete financial
statement, which shows the original al
lowance, expenditures and balance in
each account. We keep our expend
itures inside our allowances.
"In August, we found that our esti
mated revenues were too high. With
our system of accounting and budget
we were enabled, in two days, to reduce
expenditure' $45,000, and reorganized
nil work accordingly."
He told how police women were aid
ing in the handling of women derelicts
and domestic troubles: how the fire
department was continually making
house-to-house inspections to reduce
the fire hazard; how duplication of ef
ford had beeu saved by combining all
philanthropic and city nursing into tlie
Welfare department; how citizens had
"turned 450 dirty spots into 400 gar
dens," and numerous other steps in
city improvements.
''These new forms of municipal gov
ernment have many tips and downs
ahead of them," he said. "Our duty is
to educate the people to appreciate
these new forms, of government we have
failed imo being.
"Publicity must be given to the re
sults obtained by the new governments.
We must obtain an efficient citizenship.
Interest should be maintained through
the schools. We need fewer elections,
lrnger terms, and thereby greater effi
lit) PRE WOODEN COUCHES
Thair Construction Has Practically
C!ea3ed, According to Report Made
to Railway Convention To-day
Wasli:ngtoii. Nov. 20.—The con
stni-tljn oi' wooden passenger cars for
in-' railways of the I nited States prac
. al:y lias ceased, according to the re
port of the committee on rails and
equipment, of which C. ('. McChord,
c. the Intestate Commerce Commis
?.o». is chairmen, made to the annual
i - ciition of the National Association
• o.' Railway Commissioners to-day.
T'ae committee finds that sixty-six
per cent, of the 65.291 derailments in
the ten years from 1904 to 1913, in
clusive, were due to defective road
way and equipment. These derailments
were the cause of 3,727 deaths.
Not only defects in steel but heavy
wheel loads and high speed are blamed
lor some of the breaking of rails or
failure of rails in other respects.
"There can be no doubt," the com
mittee reports, ".that steel cars are
better and safer than those of wooden
construction, A statement from the
Pullman Company shows that in four
years seventy-three persons were kill
ed in wooden Pullman cars while only
,six were killed in all-steel cars.
"There has been a noticeable in
crease from year to year in the loads
to which rails wid equipment have been
subjected and the increase is still go
ing on," savs the report. "In no oth
er situation involving danger to life is
material used with so slender a mar
gin in strength, judging from the an
nual statistics of accidents. In com
parison with other engineering uses of
materials of construction, knowledge of
the working stresses in railway mate
rials is in a very backward state. No
other service furnishes so extended a
list of annual failures, whidh, in part,
is attributed to this lack of informu
tion, nor would such an exhibit of
failure be tolerated in any other
branch of engineering. Many of these
failures are believed to be of a pre
ventable nature and, even in the light
of present knowledge, could be guarded
against." \
The committee suggested considera
tion whether there should be some
State or Federal supervision of this
'•lass of material, which is exhibiting
so many failures. It recommends that
accurate information of the cause of
the fractures of rails should be oto
tained.
CATTLE QUARANTINE LIFTED
Washington, Nov. 20.—The quaran
tine against cattle shipments from Can
ada to the United States, imposed be
cause ot foot and mouth disease, was
lifted to-day bv the Department of
Agriculture.
The quarantine against Canadian cat
tle was not placed because of the in
fection in the Dominion but to prevent,
the return of infected cattle cars to the
raited States. The raising of the Cana
dian quarantine was said by officials
to 'be an added evidence that the epi
demic is 'being brought under control.
EXPECT GREAT PARCEL
POST BUSINESS THIS YEAR
In Anticipation of Rush, Postmaster
Siteß Gives Suggestions for the
Proper Sending of Presents—"Do
Not Open Until Christmas"
Phe establishment of the parcel jyjst
sen ice has given au impetus to the une
or the mails an a moans of distributing
Christinas gifts, and in view of the
increased weight limit, reduced post
age rates and other extensions of the
service.during the past year it is antici
pated that the amount of mail during
the approaching holiday season will ex
ceed all previous records. In order that
the Christmas mail may be handled
promptly and satisfactorily, it is essen
tial that tho public co-operate with the
postal service to the fullest possible
extent.
In order to give the people of Har
risiburg the kind of service to which
they are entitled, both outgoing and
incoming, Postmaster Sites has issued
suggestions which will tend to assist
the postoffice employes in the expedi
tious banttling of "gift parcels. It
should be clearly understood that early
mailing of parcels will greatly relieve
the mails at a time when they are
taxed to their utmost. The suggestions
follow:
u Mail parcels early. The regulations
of the postoffice permit you to place
the words, 'Do Not Open Until Christ
mas,' on the wrapper of the parcsl
without affecting it® classification.
Use good quality of wrapping paper.
Use good, strong twine. 'Place the
name and address of the sender, as well
as that of the addressee, on every par
cel. Use pen and ink to address par
cels. Do not seal parcels or place writ
ing inside, unless you wish to pay tho
class rate of postage. If parcels
contain fragile or perishable goods,
they should be so marked. Prepay the
right amount of postage on all parcels.
Take them to the postoflke or to one
of the stations and have the clerks
rate t<hem for you. Insure valuable
parcels. Do not seal the flaps of your
piarcels with Christmas seals unless you
wish to pay first class postage."
Owing to t)he fact that nearly all of
t>he foreign countries forbid the use of
adhesive charity or Christmas stamps
on mail matter, it is advised that their
use be discontinued in connection with
all foreign mail, as all parcels bearing
such stamps will be returned to the
writer or sent to the Dead Letter Of
fice.
Within the United States there is no
objection to the use of such charity
and Christmas stamps on the reverse
side of mai l matter, but their use on
the address side is advised against
because of the possibility of confusion
during busy periods and the possible de
lay in the proper delivery of parcels.
HAD YOUR OYSTER TO DAY?
This Is Shellfish Day and You Must
Eat to Celebrate
To-day is shellfish day.
If you have not already celebrated
it by having half a dozen raw or fried,
it is up to you do so at the first op
portunity. It is the only holiday in
the year that is entirely celebrated by
eating or gulping as the case may be —
it's some celebration.
The National Commission of Shell
fish Dealers have set. aside this day as
the one on which the general public is
to eat oysters. Commission merchants
and oyster dealers in Harrisburg have
not noticed any great increase in
oyster sales in anticipation of this
event, but all are willing that it be
celebrated to its "fullest" extent.
FORMS READY FOR WAR TAX

35.000 HUNT DEER TO-DAY
IN STATE SAYS KALBFUS
Season Lasts Only Until Next Wed
nesday—Probably Fifty Doe Are
Illegally Shot By Mistake—Dis
ease Is Killing Babbits
"There are more than 35,000 deer
•hunters in the woods of Pennsylvania
10-day," said Secretary Kalbfus, of
the State Oame Commission, this morn
ing, "and naturally we expect to hear
that there have been violations of the
law by the killing of does and fawns.
Some of these are killed by mistake.
Hunters seeing a movement in the
bushes and not stopping to learn
whether the movement is caused by a
buek or doe, bang away and kill the
object. When they make these kills by
mistake they are not going to say any
thing about it, but they get the dead
animal to camp as soon as possible and
use it for food, never shipping it out
for that would give them awav and
they would at once be arrested and
fined $100."
"Have you reports of many does
being killed?" was asked.
"Not many. I suppose that the to
tal this year will be about fifty, but
when there are 35,000 hunters in the
woods that may be considered a small
number."
"Are there many dead deer in the
camps which are to be shippe out on
the last dav?''
"A great many, and hunters ought
to know that they cannot send a dead
deer by rail anywhere unless they get
a permit to do so from the State" Vet
erinary Board in this city. All of the
railroads have positive orders to re
'fuse all such shipments except when a
permit is shown. So, at the close of
the deer hunting season, on November
25, next Wednesday, the hunters who
want to take their deer home and do
not get a permit will be subject to a
good deal of annovance through their
neglect."
Dr. Kalbfus says that in the south
ern part, of the State rabbits are
scarce this year, which fact he at
tributes to some disease which has
swept them off, but up n V th ho saw
hunters with hundreds of bunnies, the
result of a week's hunt, and they are
very plentiful in that section.
CAPITOL HILL
STATE TREASURY RECEIPTS
Railroad Companies Swell Strong Box
at Capitol Yesterday by Many
Thousands of Dollars
The receipts of the State Treasury

with the payments of the large sums
toy corporations he may be aible to
reach the same amount of revenue this
year as was taken in last year up to
the close of the fiscal year on November
30, less the amount from personal prop
erty tax last year, about $1,200,000.
The revenues last year were $35,000,'
000 in round numbers, and the gross
collections this year will be close to
that sum.

TO DAYE DIC CHRISTMAS
TREE ACAIN THIS YEAR
Municipal Celebration to Be Held on
Eve of Holiday—Choir of 1,500 to
Sing Hymns—Religious Pictures
for Children
Harrisburg will have a municipal
Christmas celebration again this year,
the citizens' committee meeting in the
Mayor's office this morning and making
definite plans for the event. In a meas
ure it will be similar to last year's cele
bration, only it will be greater and
grander.
Robert W. Hoy, who last year headed
a committee that picked out the big
tree from the mountain side above
Bockville and then saw to it that it
was safely hauled to Harrisburg and
properly placed and decorated, has
again undertaken that task. The Har
risburg Light and Power Company has
assured the committee that the tree will
be decorated agaiu with electric lights.
Th e tree will be erected at Front
and Market streets and be ready for
the Christmas eve ceremony.' A plat
form will be erected as last year to
accommodate a large choir and from
which speeches will be made. Profes
sor E\J. Decevee and Professor E. G.
Rose were given charge of the music
for that evening.
Professor Decevee suggested that two
cornets be used as accompaniment for
the singing iastead of a piano as last
year and the suggestion was adopted.
He said that at least 1,500 singers
could be secured to help in tl*e celebra-,
tion. It was decided that the choir
should assemble at a given point and,
headed by a band, march to the tree
singing "Onward Chrisian Soldiers."
Mayor Royal undertook to secure t)«e
band.
To start the Christmas eve service
religious moving pictures will be thrown
on a screen near the tree. This will
last from 7.30 until 8 o'clock, during
which time the tree lights will be dark
ened. At 8 o'clock the lights will be
turned on and the service will start.
Spencer C. Gilbert will select the pic
tures to be used. The pictures will be
principally for the entertainment of the
younger children. ,
The tree will be kept lighted all dur
ing the week following Christmas, in
cluding New Year's night. A sugges
tion that the Mummers' Association
hold a celebration on New Year's eve
was believed by the committee to be a
good one, but nothing definite was done.
