The bonuses will be equivalent to 20 per cent, of the yearly wages or salaries of .ill employes who have served the company for six months or more. The distribution of the checks, which will be drown on the Hershey Trust Company, will begin to morrow, and the last of them will be is sued early next week. Although the company in the last six years has given out bonuses to its permanent employes, the total amount to be issued this year will exceed that of any other year by more than $25,- 000. This is due to the fact of the company's increasing property and to the fact that the total number of men and women on the pay roll at present is the largest in the history of the plant, i totaling 1,200, of whom eighty per cent., or a larger percentage than ever before, qualify for the bonus by reason of having been employed the required six months. ' Ezra Hershey, treasurer of the com pany, of which M. S. Hershey, pro moter of the great Hershey co-opera tive community, is head, said this morn j ing that the business was never so pros-1 peroiis as in the last year. There are now on the pay roll 150 more employes! than ever before. While in the last! lour years the bonus was 20 per cent.' as this year, there never before has j been a time when so high as 80 per | cent, of the employes has qualified for i the cash gifts through length of service. I Hi the first two yvars the bonds was 10 per cent. Employes Rejoice at News "The idea of the bonus is to permit the employes to share in the prosper ity of the. company," said Ezra' Her shey, "and to offer an inducement for competent employes to remain perma nently with us. The only reason that the six months' service provision is : made is so that no can take advantage of us by seeking employ ment just for the sake of getting the bonus and leaving us after the bonus \ is paid." Some idea of t>he prosperity the Her shey plant is enjoying may be gleaned j from the statement of Mr. that j in 1914 an average of fifteen cars a day of manufactured products was shipped out of the plant. This is far in excess of the daily average of anv other year. The greatest output for any one day in 1914 was twenty-eight cars, which is the record for the plant, I During the year just closed SSOO,- | 000 was spent on new building f. the ! plant, and this does not include $200,-1 Continued on Seventh Pace 1 ■ • rt ' ■ 7 . • ■ v ©je Star-Jukpciiktii CONSTABLES CET $11,374 County Pays Back Fees After Deduct ing $2,618 From Claims Made Under Court Ruling i After deducting $1',613.27 from the total claims, tb,> County Commissioners this morning mad? settlement with the seventeen constable* whose demands for fees covering the period of 1901 to 1905 recently were sustained, by a Dau phin county court decision.

All commercial houses and banks were closed, but aside from the shoot ing on the main plaza the entry of the Carranza forces caused no disturbances.

The new authorities have re-estab lished order and a general feeling of confidence prevails. Jt has been established that the shooting in the main plaza was done by snipers, who were hidden on the roof of the cathedral.

The mercury did not fall quite so far as was expected and the river, which is full of floating ice, had closed in but few places. It is'not expected to close generally now, as to-morrow, in the opinion of the weather observers, warmer weather will begin. Consid erable ice, however, has formed on Wildwood lake, and the possibilities are that ice will be fit for ska 11113 to-mor row if to-uight's temperature equals that of last night. An early inspection of the ice on Wildwood lake will be made to-morrow morning and, if it is safe, the red flag will be hoisted above the ('alder build ing in Market square, so that all may see. Temperatures are rising rapidly on the heels of the cold wave, due to a storm central off the coats of Oregon. To-morrow afternoon and Sunday the mercury will begin t.-> rise here.

HOLD IIP CARPENTERS' PAY Two Directors of the Poor Say Third Had No Authority to Put Men to Work at Almshouse Car[>enters or any other artisans who may be put to work at the Dauphin county almshouse, either without the consent of the steward or of a majority of the members of the Hoard of Poor Directors, 'may find themselves in dan ger of not getting paid for their serv ices. That fact became known to-day when it was learned that Thomas 8. Manning and Charles L. Boyer, Poor Directors, have held up the bills of two carpenters who, Harry A. Walters, the other director, says iie personally put to work laying a floor in the county home. At any rate, it is held, the carpen ters are charging at the rate of ton hours a day, while Steward Banber, v lib disclaims any responsibility for their employment, they were at the almshouse from 7 o'clock in the morn ing until 5 o'clock in the evening, and were served with two meals—breakfast and dinner—at the home. The carpenters, apparently, deducted no time for meals, nor did they make, any cash allowance for the meais 'given to them. One claims twenty cents an hour for S5 hours work anil the- other wants to be paid for 110 hours at the rate of twenty-one cents an hour. It was said to-day that the bills will be cut down before the directors again are asked to pay them. Objection also was raised to the fact that these car penters were given work that, it is held, ordinarily would have been done by the almshouse carpenter.

The county budget, along with the tax rate recommendation, was given to the Commissioners at their afternoon meeting, placing the estimated receipts and expenditures for 1915 at approxi mately $366,484.64. The appropria tions for 1914 totaled something like $348,000, while the actual money spent by the County Commissioners, the Di rectors of the Poor and the Board of Prison Inspectors totaled $366,372.54. The estimated receipts for 1915 equal the estimated expenditures, this being due partly to the fact that the revenue from direct taxation calculat ed on a basis of a four-mill rate. When the Directors of th e Poor and the Prison Inspectors 'put in their an nual budget estimates the Commission ers and the Controller were, of the opin ion that the tax rate for 1915 could be reduced by at least a quarter otf a miM.
