GOVERNOR WANTS AID IN
DRAFIINCJICHWAY LAWS
Says He Will Welcome Practical Sug
gestions Regarding Good Road Leg
islation —Other Measures Are Be
ing Prepared by Attorney General
"It is a matter on which there is a
great diversity o; opiniou; in fact, you '
seldom rind two men who are of the
same opinion on it." said Governor'
Brumbaugh yesterday afternoon in
i talking about road legislation to be pre- j
pated t'or the present Legislature. Theu
1 he added:
••I don't care how widely you spread
the fact that 1 actually want help on 1
this important matter, and will wet- i
come suggestions—practical sugges
tions—from people wljo are familiar
with the subject, and not fool sugges
tions. ''
The Governor was talking to a group j
of newspapermen about the legislation j
advocated in what i« called his "per-j
sonal platform," announced while he
was on the stump ule said that Attor- .
ney General Brown is now engaged in
preparing woikmen's compensation,
child labor and employers' liability >
Chills, and he hopes to have the two j
rir>r ones introduced very soon and j
passed. The Governor also desires to ;
have the legislation looking to ngricul- ■
tural education drafted and presented
as soon as possible.
"As to local op on." said the Gov- ;
eriti.r. "it is not definite whether we
shall draft and , resent the bill or leave
that duty to the Anti-Saloon League, j
It is a very'simple matter." As pre
pared. it will provide that the voters i
of each county shall be given an op-I
portunitv to pass upon the question of :
local option once in a certain number j
of rears, the time tot yet fully do
eide'd.
Governor Brumbaugh >s much inter

CAN'T FIND REST OF LOOT
Police Believe They Know the Two
Highwaymen Who Robbed Priend
of Assemblyman Baldwin
It developed to-day that the friend
ot Assemblyman R. J. Baldwin, who
«as held up. beaten and robbed Tues
day "light at White House lane, along
the Middletown car line, is J. 11. Hig
gins. of Austin, Potter county, and not i
J. F. Higman. of I'hadds l ord, Dela- 1
ware county, the n.une given out by the
police yesterday afternoon.
Frederick Palmer, who was arrested
Wednesday when it is alleged, he was
trying to pawn a very valuable ring,
has been hold under s,">oo bail by Al
derman Murray on a charge of receiv
ing stolen goOiis. Higgins could not
. tentify P.Unier as one of the highway
men. but the ring, which is valued at
. near SSOO. was identified by markings
on it as being the one stolen from Hig
gins.
The two assailants of Higgins are
Mill at large and a gold watch and
■hai'.i. in money and a valuable
watch charm are still missing. From
ies riptions iurnished to the police they
believe they know the two highway
men who are thought to have departed
hurriedly when Palmer was arrested.
H .gins was staying at the Plaza
hotel while in this city and is said to
have remained here until yesterday
morning when he gave up hope of re
, covering the rest of the loot. He was
:in conversation with Assemblyman
Henry T. Albee. of Galesburg, Potter
county. >ast before he met the men who
offered to take him to a mythical Elks
.•lub house, near Middletown.
PLAN "WAR TAX SOCIAL"
Epworth League of Stevens Memorial
Church to Entertain Six Hundred
The fact that the social affair to be
given by the Epworth League of the
Stevens Methodist church on the even
ing of February 4, is called a "War
Tax Social" has led many to suppose
that the affair is being planned for the
relief of the Belgian sufferers. This
is not the case. The name was given
be ause of the similarity of the price
of the admittance cards to a war tax
and the tax was made as low as pos
-iiile with the sole idea of making the
social a self-supporting proposition.
Anl supplying refreshments to six hun
dred people—the limit set for tickets
-old—with a charge of only three cents
will require quite a little careful plan
ning. But it will be done, and the plans
t'or getting the six hundred folks ac
quainted with one another are as
unique as the name itself.
This social will be the church's of
ficial reception fo the members who
have become affiliated with this par
ticular church during the past year, and
special efforts are being made to see
that all of these new members have op
portunity to procure one .of the" war
tax '-arils.
Because of the fa t that it will not
be feasible to serve refreshments to
more than six hundred people in one
evening, the sale of tickets will be lim
ited to this number, and admittance to
the social will be confined strictly to
those having the cards.
Unusual and interesting entertain
ment features will characterize the en
tire social.

HARRISBURG STAR-INDEPENDENT, FRIDAY EVENING. JANUARY 22. 1915.
BRITISH STEADIER IS SUNK
BY A GERMAN SUBMARINE;
CREW REPORTED AS SAVED
London, Jan. 22, 10 A. M.—The
British steamer Durward, says a Rotter- i
[ dam dispatch to Reuters Telegram (
Company, has been torpedoed by a Gor- j
, man submarine. The crew was saved. ■
The Durward was bound from Leith '
, to Rotterdam and was struck by the!
torpedo, according to the Renter cor- j
respondent, while '.'"J miles off the j
j Maas lightship. The crew took to the
i boats and reached the lightship from
which a Dutch pilot boat conveyed them
] to Rotterdam.
The Durward was a vessel of 1,300 j
| tons and was built at Glasgow in 1895.
She was owned by G. Gibson & Com
j pany, of Leith, Scotland.
Amsterdam, via London. Jan. 2-, -•
1 P. M.—Survivors of the ciew of the;
! Durward say they first sighted the Ger- :
nun submarine in mid-afternoon and
stopped the vessel in response to a sig
1 nal. German officers boarded the Dur
ward. Covering the captain and crew
j with revolvers they ordered all on board j
to quit the vessel immediately. Boats
; were lowered and after all hands had
' left the vessel, the submarined towed
j the boats to a safe distance. There they
I were ordered to wait. Tie submarine 1
! returned to the Durward and sent three
: torpedoes into her. It was JO or 30
j minutes before the vessel sank.
The submarine th/>n picked up the!
i small boats and towed them for six j
i hours until they reached the Maas i
lightship. Then the Germans cast them I
i adrift and went off at full speed.
German TJ-IW Sank the Durward
London, Jan. 22. 3.40 P. M.—lt !
was the Uonnnn submarine I'll*, ac
, cording to ad\ ices from Amsterdam. I
which torpedoed the Durward.
The ljoudon newspapers interpret the j
, sinking of the Durward as the begin-j
iiing of a German naval policy alleged j
ito hav e been urged bv Admiral Von J
i Tirpitz, the German minister of the!
| navy against British merchant vessels.
The "Evening Standard" to-day,
prints a special article on the subject !
pointing out that two small English |
merchant -hip« recently were sunk off
i Cherbourg which, together with the
j present episode, the uewspaper says,
teuds to show the policy now being en
forced "in an endeavor to starve Eng- ]
; land.''

The Hagnie. Jan. 22. Via London,,

; that the British steamer Durward had ;
on board forty ton* of provisions be
longing to the American Relief Commis
sion when she was sunk by a German
submarine.

OLD VEGETABLES"
ONJIVER FRONT
Con tin avd From First Paget
houses in large and unheaithful quan
tities. Threats of legal action have
been made to force the city to remedy
I the conditions complained of.
When these things were called to the
• Httention to-day of a member of the
City Commission, which body authoriz- j
ed the dumping of "clean ashes" over
i the river bank, the official made the fol
lowing statement:
City Official's Statement
"The City Commissioners unanimous
ly approved an order .directing the
dumping of clean ashes over the river i
bank, along N'erth Front -treet, and it,
will be a cheap and most substantial
,iob when it is completed. I know a
' number et" people are complaining about
, 1 the wastepaper living about, hut if they
will just be a little patient the con li
j tion soon will be remedied.
"Yesterday we had six men on the
job removing paper from the ashes and
on every other day since they began
dumping ashes over the bank, no less 1
I than four men have heen on duty.
"freaking as a citizen of Harrisburg
, and not as a public official I just want
, to sav that Harrisburg has been and
now is spending its good money to im
. prove the beauty of the river front and
, we certainly want to do the job with
, the least possible cost.
'' Undoubtedly some paper gets awav
( from the men at the place of the fill,
, and i« carried by the wind to the yards
of Front street resident*, but tie same
' conditions exist iu other parts of the
, city where sti h fills are being made
and the people, instead of being an
' tagonistic. seek to aid the city wher
ever and whenever possible.
To Last "Only Till Summer"
' "True, it may not be pleasant to:
; have paper flying over tae yards, but it i
' will not last forever.
J "This will continue only until sum-j
' i mer time, by which time no doubt the I
■ entire ash fill will be covered with a i
layer of clay fill."
"Swill and decaying vegetable mat
. ter is being thrown over the fill," the
Commissioner was told.
"I do not believe that."' he began.!
"That is what those men are stationed
on the job for, and besides the I'enn
-1 svlvania Reduction Company repeatedly
and as late a« this morning has been
| warned against dumping such refuse
? over the bank. Of course an orange
peel might get into the ashes, but what
' is that ?''
1 Investigation made yesterday after
noon by a representative of the Star-
Independent showed large stretches of
lawns in the neighborhood covered with
wastepaper and considerable quantities
of decayed vegetables exjiosed where
the fill is being made.
WORK OX DIRT FILL BEGIN
Nine Large Auto Trucks Expected to
i Complete Contract in Three Weeks
r With nine large auto trucks, the
" King-Brown Construction Company,
? which is working on the contract to
grade the site for the proposed Penn
sylvania Railroad Company warehouse,
1 Second street, south of Mulberry street,
j to-itav began dumping clay filling ma
! tcrial over the river bank, between Kcl
-; ker and Maclay streets.
* On a test made yesterday one truck
» made, tho round trip to the dumping
I i ground in nineteen minutes and it is
e estimated that at least twenty loads can
' ] be dumped over the bank by one truck
ea s h day. " Barring accidents it is fig-
J' tired that the 14,000 cubic yaris of
i dirt, which the city has contracted for,
-jean be placed along the river front
within tiweu weeks.

Fines Paid in Allegheny County for
Violatiou of Sunday Laws Go

which will result in an increase of rev
enue. For some time it was a ques
tion ns to whether fines paid in Alle
gheny county for violation of Sunday
laws should be paid into the county
treasury or go to the State. Allegheny
acts under a special act which makes
the fine for violation of Sunday laws'
$25 instead of $4 as in other coun
ties, and heretofore the county lias
claimed the lines. This was disputed by
the State recently and Deputy Attorney
General Cunningham, for the State, be
gan suit to recover the tines for the
use of the State.
-In an opinion handed down yester
day the Court decides th.it ail such fines
must go :o the State aud not to the
county. This decision applies to Phila
delphia and all counties acting under
special Sunday laws which have here
tofore claimed the fines.

LATE WAR NEWS SUMMARY
Continued from First I'hk*.
cial advices from Amsterdam tell Of a
hard battlo in Belgium, between 03tend
and Nieuport, which has been racing
without interruption for three days,
notwithstanding the rains, flooded
trenches and almost impassable roads.
At tho other end of "the line, near
Camay and Thann, in Alsace, there is
artillery firing of unusual violence. An
other encounter, along the Lorraine
frontier, is increasing in severity and
on account of the importance of the
issue may develop into a battle of the
proportions of that at Soissons last
week. The French advance at Pont A
Moussons threatens German communica
tions with Metz. and if carried forward
successfully, might result in cutting off
the German forces in the regirfn of St.
Mihiel. The German line has been re
inforced and some of the lost ground
has been regained.
The Russian and German forces west
of Warsaw have settled down in their
entrenched positions and the battle line
I has become fixed alrr.ost as rigidly as in
the west. In the north, however, the
; Russians are advancing toward the
Prussian border, apparently having dis
j patched a large army for this move
ment. The campaign in Galicia and
Bukowina makes slow headway on ac
| count of the heavy snow. According to
reports from Russian sources, the re
tirement of the Austrians across the
j Carpathians is still in progress.
Another British vessel has been tor
pedoed by a German submarine. The
| steamer Durward, a small merchant
| man, was sent to the bottom, but her
crew was saved.

First Prize Winner
Bargain Editor,
Dear Sir:
The best bargain, amongst a host of
good bargains iu your bargain page of
January li, is the announcement made
by the School of Commerce. It does
not require 150 words to tell why, for
that, announcement tells it tersely in
just sixteen words, —"Every dollar in
vested in a business education will pay
Hi« Dividends as long as you live."
Hull's sauerkraut at six cents a
quart is fine, for kraut aud pork is » I
diet fit for the gods, but one will soon !
be hungry tor kraut again.
Grunden's big bottle of white pine
tar for 25 cents is fine, for its the stuff j
for colds. But the cold is temporary.
And so with all your long list of excel
lent bargains offered by reputable citi
zens.
But the man or woman, who has a
thorough business education, has a
princely inheritance for all the future
which no vicissitude can destroy.

i Bargain Editor:
Dear Sir:
I declare the School of Commerce of-!
I fers the best bargain on . this week's

i gains iu their way, souie wHI perish
with the using. The best bargain
I means the one that does the most good,
jSo I repeal: To have a good education
i in manners, morals, arts and science is
not only important, but absolutely nec
essary.
When we invest our money, even to

i Bargain Editor:
i Dca r Sir:
Since the prices of needed coiumodi
i ties have been knocked "galley west"
| by force of circumstances the ever pres
j ent need of clothing is a serious propo
sition. Salerno's advertisement meets
II the demand for the "best bargain.''
! Discriminating men appreciate the

1 than Salerno's can be had, for they
i challenge the admiration of the most
experienced judges in style, tit, material

UNCERTAINTY IN STOCKS
WHEN THE MARKET OPENS
Fresh Buying Movement Soon Sets in
and Some of Yesterday's High
Prices Were Speedily Eclipsed—
High Becord Trading in First Hour
11;/ Associated Press.
New York, Jan. 22 (Vlijil Street)
Stocks showed some uncertainty :it the
opening, a few of the loaders recording
slight losses, but a fresh buying move
ment soon set in, with the result that
some of yesterday's high prices were
speedily eclipsed. Great Northern,
Northern Pacific, Lehigh Valley, St.
Paul, Louisville and Nashville, New
Haven and New York Central rose a
point. Exceptions to the general ten
dency were Canadian Pacific aud
Smelting, which lost a point. Reading
and Pennsylvania manifested some]
early heaviness, but the entire list ]
strengthened by the end of the half
hour.
Trading in the first hour exceeded
150,000 shares, which marked a high
record on the exchange since the re
opening. Activity was at the expense
of values, however, leading issues, with
few exceptions, relinquishing much of
their advantage under the impact of
foreign realizing sales and short selling.
Other important stocks, including cop
pers and United States, fell below yes
terday's close. With this setback came
a halt in the selling and some slight
recovery from the low level. Buying
of convertible bonds was again a fea
ture, St. Paul 58 making a high record.
.Missouri Pacific convertible 4s showed
renewed weakness.
