Qualify for Bonuses
Through Six Months'
Service
Cash bonuses totaling $125,000 will
be distributed among 1,030 employes
of the big plant of the Hershey Choco
late Company, in Hershey, this county,
it was announced to-day. 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

LOOT A CARLISLE STATION
Burglars Get Away With Nine Mileage
Books and a Ticket Dater—Use
a Skeleton Key
i Siwlal t the
Carlisle, Pa., Jan. 29. —A gang of
thieves that is believed to have been
working systematically in the Cumber
land Valley during the last two weeks,
committed another robbery last evening
when they stole a batch of mileage
books after breaking into the passenger
station of the Gettysburg and Harris
burg Railroad Company, in the eastern
section of the city. •
The robberv was committed early in
the evening. The ticket office was closed
at 6 o'clock and the night watchman
made the discovery of the robberv at
10 o 'dock last night. Entrance to the
station evidently was gained by the
use of a skeleton key. The robbers then
removed the door to the ticket office
by disconnecting the hinges. Besides
nine mileage books the thieves stole
the ticket dater.
Within the last fortnight thieves
have obtained similar loot from the
railway stations in Gettysburg, Wavn
esboro and Biglerville and it now is be
lieved the same gang has committed
all the robberies.

By Assbcicltrtl Press.
Mexico City, Jail. 29.—General Ob
regon, the Carranza leader, at the head
of his troops entered Mexico City short
ly after 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
At first he met with little or no resist
ance hut wlifn the National Palace was
reached shots from the cathedral roof
and other buildings nearby caused his
soldiers to open up a fusillade which,
however, lasted but. a short time. After
the fighting was over a correspondent

plaza.
A rear guard of the Zapatistas left
the city as General Obregou entered,
holding up street cars at the point of
rifles in order to commandeer the same
for transport far as the suburbs.
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.
Takes Possession of Palace
After taking possession of the Na
tional Palace, General Obregou, leading
his troops, rode down San Francisco
street to his newly established head
quarters.
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. Speaking of the incident
to->iay General Obregon said that the
shots were undoubtedly directed to
wards him and that it was an attempted
assassination. The perpetrators have not
yet been captured.

COLD WAVE WILL CONTINUE
Mercury to Fall Again to Ten Degrees
Last Night's Record—May Be
Skating To-morrow
There has been very little change
in the weather situation over night, so
far as Hanisburg is Concerned, and
temperatures to-night will likely equal
the minimum of 10 degrees registered
last night, according to the forecast is-'
sued at the local Weather Bureau office
this morning.
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.
WIFE OH PRISON FOR HIM
Youth Must Return to Girl He Eloped
With or Go to Jail, Says Court
I'nless Wilson Potteiger, of ljiugles
town, a farmer boy, now under s-us
pended sentence, changes his attitude
before the March Criminal Court and
takes up his a'botle with his young
: wife, with whom he eloped to Hagers
| town, Md., and then deserted, he will be
! sent to jail or penitentiary. Judge
Kunkel made that statement to young
Potteiger in court this morning and >he
judge further warned the lad that the
( court now is tired of trifling with him.
Potteiger didn't show any signs of
being moved by the court's threat and
reprimand. At least he made no prom
ise to go hack to his wife and live with
her. 'I he defendant was paroled aibout
two years ago, after he had pleaded
guilty to a serious charge. While sup
posed to he in tho custody of the pro
bation officer he violated t'he suspended
sentence rules by eloping to the Gret
na Green of Marylaml with a pretty
Linglestowu girl whom ho married. He
has since refused to live with his wife,
preferring, tho probation officer told
the court this morning, to take "other
girls'' out in his auto. »
.fudge Kunkel gave him the alterna
tive of going back to his wife or serv
ing, oat a prison sentence for the of
fense to which he long ago pleaded
guilty.
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.

IMPOSSIBLE TO
CUT, THEY SAY
Budget As Submitted to the Commis
sioners This Afternoon Places Esti
mated Receipts and Expenditures
For the Year 1915 at
The tax rate for Dauphin county
during 1915 will be four mills, the
same as for the last three years, the
recommendations of County Controller
Henry VV. (rough having been adopted
by the County Commissioners this aft
ernoon at 3 o'clock.
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

ers and the Controller were, of the opin

reduced by at least a quarter otf a miM.

LATE WAR NEWS SUMMARY
Russia has answered the new Austro-
German offensive movement in Hun
gary and Bukowina with a sudden re
sumption of the attack on the Germans
in their own territory The Russian army
in East Prussia is again attempting to
penetrate the German lines and an of
ficial report from Petrograd to-day in
dicates that heavy fighting is in pro
gress. In two sections of the front it
is stated, the Germans were defeated
and driven back. For several months
there has been little change in East
Pnissia, the Russians having been halt
ed after penetrating nearly ao miles
beyond the German border.
To the south the new Austro-German
plan of campaign is developing rapidly.
The Austrian army staff announces that
the Russians who invaded Northern
Hungary have been defeated and forced
to retreat. Petrograd military experts
expect that the main attack will be de

Berlin, Jan. 29, by Wireless to Sav

from the German viewpoint, comes from
the Carpathian region where Austrian
successes are reported to have been
achieved consistently for some time
now. The latest feat of tho Austrian*
is said to have been Wie driving of
