NEWS OF S
CHIEF BURGESS WIGFIELD
SUGGESTS IMPROVEMENTS
In Annual Message Suggestions Are
Made How to Secure More Efficiency
of Police Force—Spec ial Cell for
Female Prisoners Recommended
A feature of the January session of
■the local 'borough Council was the an
nual message of Chief ißurgess Wigfield,
whicih was read last evening and which
•contains some very practical suggestions
1o tlhe home lawmakers for the better
ment of the local police system, im
provement of the borough lockup from
b sanitary point of view and the instal
lation of a special icell for female pris
oners only. The message is as follows:
"The police department, I am pleased
to reiport, has shown some improvement
■during the year. Forty-six (4 6) arrests
were made. I have conducted forty-four
(44) hearings during the year. The
fines and costs accruing from t>he same,
amounting to $81.30. were collected. Of
this amount $18.05 was paid out as
witness fees and costs and the "balance,
amounting to $63.25, was turned over
to the Borough Secretary. License fees
• luring the year amounted to $337 and
j>ole licenses amounted to $4-13.75, mak
ing a total of $862.00 turned into the
(Borough Secretary 'by this department.
"During the year the desk sergeant
responded to forty-seven (47) 'calls. In
some cases the call was responded to
on as low as one minute and in no case
was it over ten minutes. During the year
the various officers lost time aggregat
ing 23D days.
"This great loss of time shows a de
jploralble condition of affairs and, inas
much as there is no substitution when
an officer is off duty, it shows that part
of the town was writihout police protec
tion for that length of time.
"As a remedy for tins, 1 would rec
ommend that one special 'policeman be
appointed 'bv Council from each ward
of the 'borough. I would suggest that
these special police be selected from the
members of the fire patrol, inasmuch as
these men now have police power. I
make this suggestion, too. because these
jnen already have uniforms which would
lie appropriate for police duty. These
special police should be appointed to
<ftll demands made by the public for
special occasions.
"1 base my reasons for the albove
revest, on the argument that during the
year there has been times when the en
tire jatroling force has been engaged
on special duty at entertainments, etc.,
Heaving the borough without anv police
protection, other than the officer in the
central station. Furthermore, if we have
meed for six patrolmen for one night we
lhave need for six patrolmen 365 nights
of the year and there should be a sub
stitute when patrolmen are off duty.
"1 trust that Council will soon ap
point a desk officer, as was promised
about a year ago, so that the night ser
geant can be placed back on his former
duties. This is very essential.
"T would further recommend that a
cell be fitted up in the lockup for t'he
accommodation of females, as condi
tions there now are unsanitary and in
ihumane. We must not forget that the
offenders i n our lockup are not convicts
—'merely awaiting a trial—and I think
a more suitable place should be fitted
out especially for tlhe weaker sex. "
"I trust that these recommendations
will be given duo consideration and
acted ii|>on as soon as possible bv Coun
cil. "
Will Act on Suggestions
The recommendations made by Bur
gess Wigfield will be considered bv
Council at a later meeting. Progress
■was made on the removal of snow from
the borough streets occupied by the
tracks of the Harrisburg Railways
Company when it was decided to charge
half the cost of the removal to the
traction company, the other half to be
borne by the borough. A resolution to
Ihis effeit will be presented at the next
meeting of Council. Councilman Wag
en bach, of the Third ward, fathered the
enow removal proposition last winter,
but it slumbered in committee until last
month, when the Third ward Council
wan had it resurrected and favorablv
acted on
The annual statement of the bor
ough's finances shows a balance in the
borough treasury on December 31,
1914, of $13,221.12, with $30,000 ad
ditional in bank drawing 3 per cent,
interest. The receipts for the year
1914 were $216,286.22 and the ex
penditures amounted to $211,146.01:
The report of the annual inventory
showed the value of the borough's prop
ertv to be $331,064.36.
Bids of 600 feet of fire hose were
awarded to the Eureka Fire Hose Manu
facturing Company at sl.lO per foot.
Board of Health Appropriation
An appropriation of $2,400 was
made to furnish operating expenses for
the Board of Health in 1913, this
amount being the same as that made
for 1914.
The tire companies received the same
appropriation as last year, with the ex
ception of the East End Hose Company,
whose appropriation will be the amount
of the current expenses of the company.
The other appropriations were as fol
lows: Citizen, $295, I'axtang, $300;
West Side, $240; Buldwin, $280; Hy
gienic, S2OO.
An ordinance for the paving of High
land street between Second and Third
streets was passed on first reading and
an ordinance for the regrading of Bead
ing street above Pine street was passed
finally.
On motion of Councilman Reisch the
Harrisbnrg Railways Company will
be notified to refrain from operating a
snow-sweeper in the borough so that
the snow and dirt are thrown on the
sidewalks. This action is the result of
much complaint from business men aud
residents along Front and Second streets
during the past few winters.
Member of 1 Council Resigns
The resignation of Frank Stees as a
member of Council resulting from his
removal from the First precinct of the
First ward was read. Councilman Nel
ley presente I a petition from the vot
ers of that district asking for the elec
tion of Millard F. Harlan to succeed
Stees. Harlan was unanimously elected.
An answer to the borough's request
for remuneration to the borough fire
department for fighting fires in Swat
ara township from the township com
missioners was read. The commission
er said that, as their appropriation for
expense in the township had been ex
hausted. it would be impossible to pay
for the assistance received from the lo
cal firemen in the past, but that a com
mittee had been appointed to make ar
rangements with Fire Chief Shupp for
the future. This action is the result of
Chief Shupp'g complaint of being ham
pered by township residents in fighting
recent fires on Mohn street.
For the third consecutive time Presi
dent J. V. W. Reynders was absent
from a regular session of Council. Coun
cilman Sellers last night acted as presi
dent pro tem.

MEAT INJURIOUS
10 THE KIDNEYS
Take a Tablespoonful of Salts if Back
Hurts or Bladder Bothers—Meat
Forms Uric Acid
We are a nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filled with uric acid, says a
well-known authority, who warns us to
be constantly on guard agaiust kidney
trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork; they
get sluggish: the eliminative tissues
clog and thus the waste is retained in
the blood to poison the entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel liko
lumps of lead, and you have stinging
pains in the back or the urine is cloudy,
full of sediment, or the bladder is irri
table, obliging you to seek relief during
the ifight; when you have severe head
aches, nervous and dizzy spells, sleep
lessness, acid stomach or rheumatism in
bad weather, get from your pharmacist
about four ounces of .lad Salts; take a
tablespoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast each morning and in a few
days, your kidneys will act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for genera
tions to flush and stimulate clogged kid
neys, to neutralize the acids in urine so
it is no longer a source of irritation,
thus ending urinary and bladder dis
orders.
Jad Halts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink, and nobody can
make a mistake by taking a little occa
sionally to keep the kidneys clean and
active.—Adv.

FAHNESTOCK HALL FILLED
FOR BIBLE CONFERENCE
Crowd Gathers to Hear Dr. Scofield's
Second Lecture on Scriptures—Ses
sion To-night Will Be at Grace
Methodist Church
The second session of the Bible con
ference under the direction of the
\oung Men's Christian Association, at
Second iuia Locust streets, was held
last evening in Fahnestock hall, which
was tilled with men and women who
had gathered to hear the groat teacher
continue his theme, "Prom Genesis to
Revelation," a panoramic view of the
Bible, illustrated by charts.
Many of the Stough converts were in
the audience, which is a hopeful fea
ture, for thf instruction received at this
time from Dr. Scofield will be of untold
value in their lives and to a large de
gree this is true of one and all of his
hearers. Dr. Scofield dwelt last even
ing upon the twelve historical books in
the Old Testament, explaining their
worth and giving their true value, at
the same time setting forth in a clear
and concise manuer the great characters
of each book and telling in a most in
teresting way the story of their lives.
He did not forget the fundamental
doctrines set forth in every took and
he illuminated the history of Israel
most interestingly. This was especially
true in his remarks concerning them in
contrast with the Gentile nations of the
world.
This Bible conference might well he
called a Bible school, so complete is the
instruction given by this eminent
scholar, with his practical knowledge
anil his great spirituality, a combination
rarely found to be so manifest in one
man.
Everybody should hear him, both the
young and the old. The session this
evening will be held in Grace Metho
dist Episcopal church, State street, at
7.43 o'clock. Doors will open at 7.30
o 'clock.

COAL T4X FIGHT CLOSES
If Law Is Upheld $U4,05« Will Be Dis
tributed in This County
The constitutionality of the act un
der which coal companies are taxed at
the rate of 2 1-2 per cent, per ton of
coal prepared for the market, and
which act is being attacked by the
coal companies, was supported in argu
ments of Attorney General Bell an:l Iris
deputies, which they closed before the
local court this afternoon. A decision
is expected within the next few weeks.
If the law is upheld by the court
there will be available for distribution
in Dauphin county something like $24,-
056.30, that money representing one
half the amount of tax levied against
the coal companies doing business in
this county.
Harrisburg would get $5,670.54;
Steelton, $1,258.57; Middletown,
$447.77; Millersburg, $211.50; Wil
liamatown, $256.55; Hummeistown,
$188; Dauphin, $48.15; Swatara town
shop, $497.39 and Susquehanna town
ship, $523.36. The amounts due the
smaller districts would be in propor
tion.

Acid Stomachs Are
Dangerous
i'omnioß Sean* Advice By n Dlntin-
Kul«h#d Hpeclallnt
"Acid" stomachs are dangerous be
cause acid Irritates and inflames the
delicate lining of the stomach, thus
hindering and preventing; the proper
action of the stomach, and leading, ti>
probably nine-tenth* of the cases of
stomach trouble flrom which people
suffer. Ordinary medicines and medici
nal treatments are useless in such cases,
for they leave the source of the trou
ble, the acid in the stomach, as dan
gerous as ever. The acid must be neu
tralized, and its formation prevented,
and the best thing for this purpose is
a teaspoonful of blsurated magnesia,
a simple antacid, taken in a little warm
or cold water after eating, which not
only neutralized the add, but also pre
vents the fermentation from which
acidity is developed. Foods which or
dinarily cause distress may be eaten
with impunity if the meal is followed
with a little bisurated magnesia, which
can be obtained from any druggist, and
shou Irl a 1 ways be kept handy.—Adv.

BTJBNS MILL TO END SCABE
Women Afraid of the Place, Says Sen
tenced Firebug
Easton, Pa., Jan. 5. —Floyd Lock
hart, aged 34, married and the father of
four children, was yesterday sentenced
by Judge Stewart to serve six years in
prison for burning down the abandoned
grist mill of Jacob Andrews, of Colum
bia, N. J., at Bangor, this county.
Asked why he had committed the
crime, Lockhard said several women
had told him they were afraid to pass
the place at night for fear that some
one would attack them; that they gave
him liquor, and ift .-r he became drunk
he fired the place.
