The importance of that station there •will be "understood by Harrisburgers more and more after the completion of the South Harrisburg station which will be the receiving station. Goods received in South Harrisburg will be transferred at Division street »o that the two stations are. in a sense, necessary to each other. The full im portance of the Division street station cannot, therefore, be impr«?:»y on itar risburgers until the South Harrisburg etation is in operation in connection with it. "The Heart of Distribution" Mr. McCaleb sa.d that it was very fortunate for Harrisburg "that the railroad dropped that transfer station at this point" and it is that more than «nv othei factor that should make this city's slogan: "Harrisburg. the Heart of Distribution." This slogan efcculd be used, he said, in attracting business to this city. The combination of the receiving freight station and the transfer sta tion will work wonders in the commer cial life of the city, as the railroad man looks at it._ The receiving station in South Harrisburg will attract to its vicinity warehouses and storage houses and facilitate the loading or unloading of local freight. It is but a short haul frcm there to the transfer station, •where the actual work of transferring freight tc the proper trains takes place. It is that operation that puts Harris burg on the freight railroad map and has opened the waV for quick delivery of perishable freight out of Harrisburg to many cities of importance. This gives this city the right to claim to be the "heart of distribution." Mr. McCaleb was aske 1 to tell what Harrisburg might expect when the new South Harrisburg station is completed and opened for the public. lie was signing warrants while a bootblack was busy putting a shine on his shoes, but he gave a slight nod indicating ♦hat he was paying attention to the in terviewer's question. To Be a War?house District "The freight receiving station, which will be a credit to the city, will naturally draw to its locality storage hcases and wholesale firms. For a wbile it was uncertain where the freight station would be,*t>ut it is posi tively located now, and it has beer. BJV experience that wholesale houses usually located as near a freight sta tion as possible. The superintendent intimated that tome Harrisburg firms were awaiting the initial move cf the Pennsylvania in placing the ne c freight station be fore making plans for building ware houses. j The Pennsylvania railroad does not have any more ground than is neces sary for its new project, except that parehased along Mulberry street for the Cumberland Valley railroad double tra.-kiug. according to Mr. McCaleb. The Harrisburg Storage Company has located at 437 South Second street, being the first firm to follow the lead of the Pennsylvania, and, in Mr. Mc- Caleb's opinion, it is altogether likely that the section about the new freight station will become a wholesale dis trict exclusively, large warehouses gi.rrounding the new station. In many ways this station, which will fermit the more speedy handling of freight, will increase Harrisburg's tlsim to being a "heart of distribu tion." Mr. McCaleb indirectly an swered a query or. this subject by talk ing of the freigh* transfer at Division street. The Work at Division Street "The Division street transfer affords better facilities for handling the freight and dispatching it quickly to its desti nation. It is tne transfer facilities which gave the Pennsylvania railroad the opportunity to make daily deliveries of Harrisburg freight in some nearby i eities the morning following its being seat. You would be surprised to know what we are doing at Division street." j| Feels Kindly Toward Harrisburg I With a parting admonition to in- ' vestigate the work of the traust'er sta tion further, Mr. McCaleb dismissed • the interviewer whose place was taken by another man who had an appoint ment with this very busy superintend ent. Mr. McCaleb is superintendent of j one of the busiest divisions of a rail-1 road in this country. He made tnree appointments over the telephone during ; the few minutes he was ta'.kiug to the , reporter. The "inside" story of how Harris- ' burg was fortunate enough to get the h transfer station would probably be an : interesting one, but Mr. McCaleb did not elaborate on this, merely contenting hijiself with saying that tiiis most im- j' portant railroad improvement, from a : business standpoint, was placed here be cause the Pennsylvania railroad "feels kindly toward Harrisburg." The Harrisburg Chamber of Com- 1 ! merce was the first to realize the value of the slogan mentioned above. The ; i Chamber has furnished small cuts eon- j tainiiyg the city's slogan to its mem- 1 bers who are placing it on business cor- j' respondence. In this way Harrisburg's advantages as a distributing center are being driven home by its business men who have tne city's "commercial future at heart. LONCAR, MURDERER NOW IN SERVIAN ARMY C«atlaned From Ftrat Pace. Sieves was Loncar's getaway immedi- , atelv following the horrible crime on i that November morning more than a j year ago. "The day following the crime, and , before I knew that Loncar s'wife had; been murdered.'' said Souillard. "I; met Steve on the train while I was returning to Middletown from a vaca tion trip to the western part of the State. He spoke to me ami occupied a ' seat just in front of me. He said : nothing as to where he was going and unfortunately I did not learn of the j murder and that he was suspected of ; having committed the crime until it j was too late to arrest him." The patrolman said teat even then,| a few hours after the murder. Steve i appeared to be in a happy mood and displayed no evidences of having ta ken the life of his wife. Hacked His Wife to Pieces Loncar murdered his wife early on the morning of November IT. 1913, because she complained of being ill ami 1 would not obey his command to get out of bed and go to work at a SteeHon factory. Tomo Loncar, a son of the murderer, saw his father strike the . 1 woman several times with his fist, but j before the son could get a policeman j the brutal "misiband had many times; thrust a butcher knife into the body of j his wife. The terribly gashed body of Mrs. • Loncar, who was but 38 years old, was later found by the Steelton police in a corner of the be»ifroom in a crouched po sition. Lonear, bv that time, had fled and his whereabout had been unknown to the rolice until to-day. Lonear, while living in Steelton. was reputed to be a bad character and there was a story that he had committed a murder in Servia ve&rs ago. He fre quently became intoxicated, s«pending virtually all of his wages for drink, and many times started family TOWS while in a drunken condition.

PERFORMERS IN ELABORATE COSTOMES IN'THE MIKADO" Production Is Given This Season by Harrisburg Operatic Society for Benefit of Belgians—Bepeatcl To night Possibly it is because rhev are aiding I the Belgians by their etforts that the ! performers in "The Mikado,"' the. opera given last night at the Majestic j theatre and to be repeated this even- j iug, have made the production this year i so successful. The operatic society was j certainly at its best last night in the i flowing robes and with the many col- ! ored fans tiiat were suggestive of' Japan. It was evident from the time j the curtain rose that "the management! had spared no trouble or expense" in 1 providing gorgeous costumes. Mrs. Harper Heislev as Yum-Yuni I was very good, especially in her ren- I dition of "The Moon Song." As an J actress she took her part as capably as j in the role of singer, and won repeat- I ed applause. Frank Davies was funny as "Ko- Ko." and his acting with Mrs. Jacob; Miller as Rati; ha was clever. Elmer j Bhier as "The Mikado" was a leading) light, and George Hoy as his umbrella j carrier, aroused much merriment. The chorus did excellent work and deserves | commendation. The cast follows: "The Mikado." Elmer W. Hhler: ' ■ Xanki'Poo.'' JeromeS Hamilton; " Ko-Ko." Frank Davies; ! "Pooh-Bah."' Russell Rupp; "Pish T.ish. Louis Munnell: "Yum-Yum," Mrs. H. F. Heishley: "Pitti Sing," Miss Ruth Hoover: "Peep Bo," Miss Helen Kiester; "Katisha," Mrs. J. B. Milier. The opera was produced under the management of Frank Davies and El- ; mer W. Bhler. Prof. E. J. Decevee i trained the singers. The proceeds of the two perform ances will be given by the operatic so ciety toward the relief of the Belgians. NO NOTICE OF AMERICAN NOTE ON SINKING OF SHIPS By Associated Press. London, Feb. 12, 12.50 P. M. —The terts of the American notes to Ger many and Great Britain concerning the possible sinking of American ships and use of the American flag, have not yet reached the London papers, which con sequently are chaty of editorial com ment. The "Pall Mail Gazette," however, says it will not be difficult to satisfy the United States that in using the American flag to defeat the intention of German warships to torpedo mer ihantmen without warning, Greaft Britain "is acting not only in the na tional interest but in the interest of humanity and civilization. There would be no danger of American ships being sunk if the German craft behave as every usage of war dictates and board the ships tJhev stop for an examination of their papers.'' The "Pall Mall Gazette" calls at tention to the fact that while the American government is making repre sentation concerning the use of the Stars and Stripes, American passengers are petitioning the Cunard Line to sail under the American flag so that they may enjoy its protection.
