Row, to employes at the old Paxtang electric light plant, Reed, while passing the home of the Jackson brothers last evening, noticed a keg of beer on tap and several bottles of whiskey nearby from which, he said, the two brothers were drinking alternately. One theory is that the men later were sleeping so soundly froni the effects of drink that they failed to be aroused when the shack took fire and so perished. Thefts Are Traced to "Hut" Some of tho former inmates of "Fort Cinder " have given the Steelton police much trouble. IMany stolen ar ticles having been traced to under ground huts there, but. almost always it was impossible to fasten the thefts on the inmates for lack of evidence. Only once in two years was any loot recognized and recovered from the place and that was a quantity of smoked meat stolen from a foreigner residing on Frederick street, Steelton. This for eigner had made a private mark on the meat which the thief overlooked and failed to remove. Coroner Eckinger made a prelimi nary investigation as to the cause of the deaths of the two men this morning. Ho stated he found nothing indicating foul play and that from appearances the blaze was started from the over heated cook stove "by accident. The Jackson brothers were iniddle | aged men and were eking out a pre- | carious existence in their cinder hut i while waiting on increased activity in the steel mills to provide them with employment.

Operations in Chicago •i Valued at #;$(),000,000 By Associated Prrsti, Chicago, April 18.- —Work practical ly was tied up on building operations valued at $30,000,000 here to-day and a hundred thousand union men were thrown out of employment as a result of a strike of 16,000 union earponters which went into effect last night. The strike ordered by union leaders was de clared after a demend for an increase in wages from 65 to 70 cents an hour had been refused by the Building Con structors Employers' Association. The j association had offered the men an in crease of 2'/ s cents an hour for the last 18 months of the 3-vear agreement. Contractors estimated that tho amount of building operations which will be affoct.ed by an extended strike will reach a figure close to the SIOO,- 000,000 mark. Work on a number of downtown ofliee buildings is at a stand still, as thousands of other union men, including the teamsters, excavators and building crafts affected by the strike. SPEAKS AT CHRIST CHURCH j S. B. Watts Tells Brotherhood About Transcontinental Telephoning j S. I?. Watts, local manager of the Bell Telephone Company of Pennsyl vania, gave an illustrated lecture en titled "Talking Across the Continent" before the Brotherhood of the Christ Lutheran church, last evening. He pointed out that in talking from tho East to tho West, one may talk through several different kinds of weather. While the sun may be shin ing in Harrisburg in- the "West-the conversation goes through blizzards and snow storms drifting as high as fifteen feet. He sirowed pictures of cabins placed along these linen with provisions and materials, so that the linemen can fix up breaks, for it often happens that they go out and get into a snow storm and cannot return for two or three days. He also showed that a telephone conversation was much different from the travel by railroad. That while one train can follow another on the same track, carrying thousands of people, only one conversation can pass at a time over this circuit. In other words in a message from HarYisburg to Ban Francisco, the subscriber has the full use of 3,400 miles of wi|je with no in terruptions from any one. BRIDGE PAINTING CONTRACTS They Are.

After his arrival here an hour late yesterday afternoon, he was hurried to the Harrisburg Academy, where he made a few remarks to the students, and was then, conducted to the capitol, where h(f addressed a.joint session of the House and Senate in tho room of the House. He gave his lecture on ''The Signs of the Times" before a large audience in the Technical High ' school auditorium in the evening and , spent the night at the Executive Man sion as the guest of Governor Brum baugh." The ex-President's address in the House was heard by a large crowd. His appearance a«?Qmpanied by tho Gover nor brought forth loud applause. Say ing that, he came in tho capacity of a school teacher, he referred to the pro fessional bond between himself and Dr. Brumbaugh. After paying a timely tribute to Abraham Lincoln, h e entered into a discussion of economy in govern mental affairs. His address in part is as follows : "I came to Harrisburg in my capac ity as a school teacher to deliver a lec ture at your academy, and this visit has flowered out, as you see. lam not responsible, but Governor Brumbaugh, somehow or other, got hold of it and there is a boud between us, not in tho fact that he is in the midst of his great and useful political career—because mine is ended-—but because both our careers began, in a sense', in those Span ish-settled countries that came to us after tho Spanish war. Tribute to Lincoln "To-day is the anniversary of the death of the great American. He was the product of American conditions, providentially developed to meet the national crisis and to save our coun try's life in our greatest danger. "Great in his simplicity, his humil ity, in the lucidity and honesty and cer tainty of his mental processes; great, in his wonderful power in the use of the English of the Bible and of Shakespeare, in his tenderness, in his sympathy with and understanding of men, in his trust in the ultimate wis dom of tho American people; great in the accurate political judgment and his skill in making clear to the -people the orror of his opponents. "The growing danger to this coun try is the waste of the people's money. Some waste is necessary because of the impossibility of such economy as there is in a private business, owing to the greater motive for it in privkte gain. Bnt, our-systems of - government housekeeping are so childishly lacking in business method and foresight that it calls for the anxiety and the rare of all patriots. Can Tell Truth About People "I have got to the point where T can tell the truth about the people. A fellow comes in, you know, and shakes his head and says, "That river and harbor bill is awful —perfectly awful; just a pork barrel, where they arc rob bing the Treasury.' " 'Well, how about that postoflGce in yolir town that cost the government I $250,000 when you could have got j along for $50,000f 'J " 'Well, that is different. We ought to have a great, big representative building to show the dignity of the postoffice and the Federal government in our community.' "And that is the way they all feel in that district. Now, they havo got J to bo made aware that that kind of ij thing costs, and that is what runs up the appropriations." SYRIAN WOMAN TELLS OF LIFE Speaker at Market Square Church Re lates Her Experiences ■» Two addresses were given at. Mar ket Square Presbyterian church yester day by Madame Barakat, a Syrian woman.
