NEWS OF STEELTON FELTON RECOMMENDS MORE IMPROVEMENTS In Letter to Directors He Calls Atten tion to the Need of More Outlay in Capital to Meet Competition of Oth er Steel Manufacturing Concerns Because of keen competition on the part of other steel manufacturing eon ferns. President K. C. Feltoo. of the Pennsylvania Steel Company, in a re port made to the board of directors of that corporation, declared that the company must continue to spend large sums of money in the near future for improvements. The following section of the steel president's report pertains to the Steel ton plant: "While tile improvements planned in 1913 and now nearing completion will enable your subsidiary companies to increase their output of the cruder forms of steel, and will greatly reduce their operating costs, these improve ments must not be considered in any sense as final." he says. " sums must be expended on your plants in the near future to enable them to diversify tiieir lines of products, and keep pave with their competitors. The most profit able directions in which to extend your business are now being considered and plans are being made for tinaucing the new construction necessary. The busi ness of the Pennsylvania Steel Com pany is largely dependent upon the rail roads of the country. The railroads constitute the 'ouik of its customers, and when they are out of the market as purchasers the business of your com pany suffers." This statement is practically a sum ming of the announcement made when the 1914 improvement plan was given to the public. That plan included the erection of the big chain of mills at the west end, all three of which are now in condition to be operated. In these mills a diversified product is possible, instead of but one product, steel rails, which the rail mill only could roll. The refor: also shows that the plant was operated at about fifty per cent, of its capacity in 1911. I'nder the 1913 improvement plan, the 'following departments have been completed, or are well under way: Open hearths and Bessemer, consolidated and completed with greatly enlarged out put: the 2.000-ton forging press, com pleted; billet mill, remodeled, now known as merchant mill No. 2. com pleted: the erection of a chain of three mills at the west end. practically com pleted: blast furnace Xo. 5. nearing completion, and an eye bar mill com pleted. The total amount expended on improvements bv the company at the Steeiton plant in 1914 was given a? $2,- 51 >.962. all of which was charged to capital. Announcement was made at the ex ecutive office of the Steelton plant this morning that the company had placed bids on -.art of the 138.000 tons of steel rai'.s needed by the Pennsylva nia railroad during the present year, but that the latter corporation had not yet • von out contracts for its supplies i'i rhi-s 'ine. In the meantime the local rail mill has been idle for ten days with no present prospect of early resump tion. o en hearths are in operation this week, but announcement wa< male that several of these would be taken off at the end of the week unless a large sized orler was received in the mean time. The bridge and construction de partment is the only one at the plant that is Heing rushed, much overtime being made by the employes in the ef fort to complete on time the 2.200 tons of structural steel for the Remington Arms Company, of Connecticut.

AIITO FIRE TRUCK ASKED FOR PAXTANC COMPANY Councilman Seller*. Chairman Town Property Committee, Introduced the Subject and Recommended Trucks. , Instead of Hones At the May meeting of the borough council, held last evening, the purchase of an auto fire truck for the Paxtaug Hook and Ladder Company was pre sented by Alfred Sellers, chairman of the town property committee, and a committee to look into the matter will soon be appointed by President Revn ders. Both the horses owned by the "Hookies" are unfit for use owing to sickness. Sellers also urged the use of auto trucks in the removal of garbage, instead of the use of horses, which has been the custom since the borough was incorporated. The shade tree commission was given an appropriation at the instance of the finance committee last night. This money will be furnished at the dis cretion of the finance committee and will not exceed S2OO. While the com mission has the power to levy a tax of one-tenth of a mill for its expenses it WHS let down by council a month ago with money enough to pay for a printing bill, which would amouut to about SSO. The finance committee last night recommended that an appropriation of 53.000 be made for improvements to oue of the filter beds. This filter has been leaking 350.000 gallons of water each day at a cost to the borough of S6OO a year. The appropriation was passed. The water board reported la«t night on the delinquent and uncollect ed water rents brought to its notice some time ago by the iborough auditors. The uncollected rents were classified as follows: Bills placed in the hands of the solicitor, $231.63; liens enter ed, SS.SS; exonerations, $585.42, of which $97.42 are questionable, leaving a balance of S4BB genuine exonera tions. covering principally bills that were rendered in error. Until May 1 of the present year $767 of the total delinquent rents hid been cellected. A motion was passed exhonerating the department from the collection of the S4BS, and these bills will be erased from the books. A supplement to the street lighting ordinance was passed on finst reading for three additional lights in the First ward. Chairman Capella. of the sanitary committee, commended the borough authorities for the work done duriug "clean-up week" and recommended that a building code be put in force so that conditions such as exist in the famous "Bear Pit" would be eliminat ed, along with other nuisances and situations that are dangerous from the standpoint of fire protection. He rec ommended a sewer inlet at Myers and Franklin streets and an additional sewer in the West Side along the Read ing railroad. The chief of police, highway com missioner and the plumbing inspector will make a thorough inspection of the borough tor defects in sidewalks anil othe; objectionable conditions that | are to be taken care of by the owners i of property where they occur. | Another request for the wiping out of the "Bear Pit" was made bv the burgess for J. Wilson W-alck, who ow*ns a large part of the property there. Councilman Caceila presented a mo i tion that an office be created contain -1 ing the duties of secretary to The Board of Health, plumbing inspector and secre tary to the sanitary committee at a salary of $75 per month. Former Ooun , oilman BMward Lewis was recently made secretary to tie Board of Health | and Plumbing Inspector at a salary of $lO per month. < ouu -iiman Nelley objected to the motion and said that as the borough now has 4, health officer, whose duties are similar to those that would be ex pected of the holder of the new office, no added expense should be put on the borough and that one man should handle all of the work. The health officer now receives a salary of S6O a month. 4'ft er a lengthy discussion the matter was settled by passing the motion of Coun cilman Henderson that beginning July 1 the Board of Health shall be limited to $75 a month for salaries. This action means that after the stipulated time ; there will be one man employed by the Health Board as its officer." secretary. I plumbing inspector and secretary to the sanitary committee. Burgess Wigfield again showed Coun cil the necessity for a reserve force of • police. Sin e the opening of the Hillis amjaign. he said, it has required three 1 patrolmen to handle the crowds therfe and the town has been left during the j hours of the service there under the protection of a single officer. No defi nite action followed his statements.

Death of Infant Daughter Julia Catherine, the infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Regan, who died at the home of her parents last Saturday, was buried in had been laid for the comfort of both the ladies and men of the party and excellent sandwiches were served. The drive from there through Chest nut Hill, on to Stenton avenue and Broad street toward the City Hall and Hotel Walton, the Philadelphia check ing station, was much relished. On North Broad street the moving picture people were busy in their efforts to make films of the entire party. At the Walton some of the newspapermen' lined up with a lone photographer. The story was so short, —on an average not more than five minutes, —that little or no opportunity was given to them for news or pictures. Safe on Jersey Soil The trip across the Delaware was 1 made in two large ferry boats, about 25 minutes apart. The pace setter had planned for this i possible delay so there was really no disappointment and soon the entire: party was safe on Jersey soil. The New Jersey people all along ! from Philadelphia to Atlantic City! were warm in their expressions of in-! terest. The boardwalk and its many attrac- j tions. as well as a special entertaiu- j ment at 10.30 given by the Rudolph 1 Hotel management, ended the first day's outing. Checked Up In Atlantic City The first day of the run came to a close last night when the motorists, one after another, checked off at the Ru- j dolph Hotel, at this seaside resort. | Many of the contestants had perfect scores for the day and after all had be-1 come comfortably settled efforts were made to check up on the scores. Everywhere along the route the mo torists got a rousing reception. The! cheering from the crowds in the many towns was evidence of the enthusiasm on the part of the spectators. The first rest was taken at the Hotel Berkshire,; Reading, where a stop of five minutes ! was made. A big reception was given to the au toists in Norristown, where the public j school children were dismissed to wit-! ness their passing. Crowds lined the streets from one end of the city to thei other and as the leaders passed by j they were greeted with much applause. Luncheon was served to the contest ants in the Norristown Auto Club, from which point the real race of the; run began, the entrants starting a con test to reach Philadelphia first. Bosch Collides With a Cow The first car to arrive in the Quaker City was driven by John C. Orr, with 1 a car vontaining E. J. Conover and Harry Walls coming in for second hon ors. However. I. W. Dill arrived first in all towns following Secretary Mvton in the pilot car. The car of Frank B. Bosch, presi- j dent of the Motor Club, struck a cow near Wernersville. An examination was For Dandruff, we recommend "93" HalrTonic George A. Gorgas made which showed that the eow was not hurt. The car was slightly the worse for the accident. Another mishap occurred when oue ear tr««d to run around that of W. H. Wiklermuth. near Mays Landing. A shower of stones was thrown up. Peb, bles passed through the windshield of the Wildermuth car and came near striking him on the face. With the ex ception of slight tire and engine trou ble no other mishaps were • reported during the day. 109 MADEROMELESS WHEN FLAMES RIIFRAHIE ROW C«!ll««l From Flrat l'««k fire's origin, among them a report that the blaze was started to cover a mur der." He further asserted this story had not been confirmed. He seemed disin clined to believe it, but said that a search of the ruins will be made as a matter of course. The furniture in two of the homes was entirely destroyed as the heat was so intense that uo entrance could be gained. Most of the personal property in the other houses was taken out be fore the tiames had reached them. A number of the oecupauts complained of losiug paper money which they had concealed in trunks. hea the fire started the men were at work in the Bradley quarries. They quickly left work and formed a bucket brigade, little could be ac complished in that way as the water had to be pumped. A pumped stream from the quarries was later turned on the burning mass but this did little good on account of the distance. Help was finally obtained from the Hershey tire company, which arrived with a steani engine. A chemical en gine also was sent from Hunuuelstown. Only a few streams could be played on the flames and, as the greater part of the row had been destroyed by the time the tire engines arrived, streams were thrown on other nearby buildings and the tiames were kept from spreading further. The houses were owned by (Mr. and Mrs. Frank Currido and were built about four years ago. Each was occu pied by one family and a number of boarders. It is estimated there were one hundred persons living in the row, who were compelled to seek shelter elsewhere. After the fi'-e was under control it looked as though the occupants would spend a homeless night, but a number of houses m the vicinity, owned by Colonel Bradley, head of the quarries, were offered to them. Others went to Hnmmelstown and Hershey. Seven of the burned houses will have to be rebuilt entirely, while two others can be made habitable with a little re pair work. Another of the houses in the row remained intact. The homes are partly covered by insurance. Colo nel Bradley said he is confident the ru mor of murder is incorrect. He is posi tive the fire started from a flue. ANCIENT MEDICAL SKILL Paru Had Clever Physicians and Sur geons Agat Ago. Both cocaine and quinine were first discovered and used by the prehistoric Inhabitants of Peru, Ecuador and Bo livia. A cup made from the wood of the tree yielding quinine was filled with water and allowed to stand over night. In the morning the liquid had become saturated with the medicinal properties possessed by the wood and its bitter contents were drunk. The quassia cups sold In drug stores In this country during the past century were the early method used to administer quinine. The leaf from the tree giving cocaine is chewed today by the Indians living in the mountainous districts of Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia. It acts as a heart stimulant in those high altitudes and deadens the pangs of hunger so frequently felt by the half starved na tives.

According to a legend, the beaver Is supposed to be a reincarnation of man, put back on earth to expiate past of fenses by work, and in some of the early drawings it is depicted with the face of a man. And when we consider Its extraordinary Intelligence and skill as woodcutter, engineer idam and ca nal maker), house builder and food storer the notion does not seem at all farfetched. Describing the canals which the animals make by scooping out the earth with their bands, A. B. Dugmore in the "Romance of the Bea ver" remarks: "It might be presumed that these ca nals are only run through level coun try, but here Is the greatest evidence •f the engineering ability of the bea vers: They build their canals uphill by means of weirs or dams, the distance between them varying according to the gradient. Yet they never work uphill unless It Is made absolutely necessary by the contour of the land. The width of these canals Is usually about three feet, with a depth from one to three feet, seldom deeper except when small pools are mode, evidently with the idea of providing a biding place in the event of danger. direction of> the canals must necessarily be variable. Wher ever conditions nre favorable they are ■s straight as though laid out by hu man engineers, but vrben there is any advantage to be gained by curves they make curves." An Episode Of the Big European War By ESTHER VANDEVEER Wllhelmina Hlschoff, a volunteer nurse Iu a hospital for sick and wound ed soldiers in Germany, entered upon her service with au admonition from her father in this wise: "My daughter, 1 desire that you do not permit yourself to contine your nurslug to any one patient. There Is no more prolific tleld flDr love affairs thau nursing. A young man, grateful for the attention he receives, falls iu love with his nurse, the nurse pities her charge, and pity is akin to love. 1 wish you to remain fancy free be cause of this proposed mutch between you and your Cousin Adolf in America, a match desired as much by my broth er, his father, as by myself. The American branch of our family has grown rich, while we have remained poor. It is therefore desirable that you should marry your cousin, who, as you know, will come over from America for the purpose as soon as this war has ended." "Yes, father," replied Wllhelmlna. "you will find lue a dutiful daughter in this respect as in nil others. We German girls know what is due to our parents, but 1 have heard thut in America it is different—that in that country there is but little respect for age or parental authority, and young people consult their own wishes in stead of those to whom they owe obe dience." This dialogue, which illustrates the difference between foreign and Ameri can marriages, was satisfactory to Herr Bischoff. who felt sure that his daugh ter would heed his admonition. But the old man's reasons for caution were stronger even thau he had stated thorn. A young soldier who had beeu wound ed In Belgium came under Wilhelmi na's care, fell in love with her, and the pity she felt for hliu as well as the love he offered her caused a recip rocal feeling to arise within her own heart. He asked her all about herself, her name, the place in which she lived and told her that as soon as he was convalescent and should be granted a brief leave he would go to her father and ask for her hand. To this she re plied that she was to marry a cousin who was to come from America as soon as the war was over. "What." exclaimed the soldier, "mar ry one who takes no part iu the de fense of the fatherland and refuse one who has given his blood for it? 1 am astonished that so lovely a girl should do such a thing." To this Wllhelmina replied that she owed the same duty to her parents that she owed to her country and whatever her father bade her she would do. The soldier insisted that he would go to her father and represent to him his wont of patriotism and was sure that he would relent. But the lover ndded that Wilbeliuina must be at home when he came, that she might add her supplications to his. Wllhel mlna consented to this, but averred that without her father's consent she would not accept her soldier suitor. When the youug man became well enough to totter forth from the hos pital he was given a month's leave, and Wllhelmina preceded him to her home to break the matter to her par ents. When the lover came he fouud the father obdurate. Wilhelmina had represented the matter to him. and he replied that it was the soldier's duty to serve his country and he was not entitled to a reward, especially such a reward as he asked. The American to whom Wilhelmina was engaged had been born in another country, and his duty was to his own state. Therefore no more should be said about the mat ter. Wilhelmina should await the ar rival of the man whom she was to marry. When the soldier arrived and was in formed of the situation he made mat ters worse by declaring that he would marry Wilhelmina in spite of her fa ther, her mother and all her American relatives, Including the cousin. "You don't talk like a German at all," said Herr Bischoff angrily. "You talk like an American, for I have under stood that in America there is but little respect for age and parental authority. Get you gone back to the army, and it is hoped that your country may get rid of you on the battlefield." "I will marry Wilhelmina first," the soldier retorted. "You will do no such thing." "Well, at least give me five minutes' parting conversation with her alone; then if she wishes It I will give her up." This promise induced Herr Blsehoff to grant the Interview, after which the soldier bid them all goodby. That night he eloped with Wllhelminu and in the morning neither of them put in an ap pearance. Herr Blsehoff bunted high and low for them, but was unable to find them. However he learned that tbey had been seen together going back in the direction from which they came, and he followed them. Over taking them, be upbraided his daughter and cursed his son-in-law. "I told you." said the latter, "that I would marry Wllhelmina. and I have done so. In marrying me she has obeyed you. for I am William Blsehoff. a citizen of the United States. Desir ing to see something of this big war. I came over at its commencement in stead of at its end to enlist in the Ger man army as well as to marry my cousin." Whereupon Herr Blsehoff clasped the pa>r enthusiastically in his fatherly arms.

It was taken that he was endeavoring to explain broadly that the United States should seek to serve the cause of humanity by using its influence to secure an ad herence to the rules and principles of international law, wherever they have been contravened. Although the general trend of com ment was one of surprise at the limita tion which the President placed to-day on the interpretation of his speech those who have followed his speeches closely pointed out that Mr. Wilson had frequently spoken implicit}' rather than explicitly. Cabinet in Session To-day While his Philadelphia audience was impressed with the belief that the President was referring specifically to the Lusitania tragedy, the President in dicated by his remarks to-day that he meant his speech to be broader than a single incident was to cover the en tire subject of foreign relations as well as the subject of domestic solidarity with reference to the aliens who have become naturalized in America. At the usual hour, the Cabinet be gau arriving for the first conference with the President sinoe last Friday, whether the President would take up the Lusitania tragedy or wait until he had gathered further facts, was some thing which none of the secretaries themselves seem to know. Stone For Peace With Honor Chairman Stone, of the Senate For eign Relations Committee, discussed the Lusitania disaster with the Presi dent before the Cabinet meeting began and later said he had 110 expectation that an extra cession of Congress would be called. "I am for peace with honor," said Senator Stone. "I ilo not know what the President plans to ilo about the Lusitania. It is hi* problem and it is useless for others lo attempt to advise him.'' Senator Stone declared he favored passage of the government ship pur chase bill which failed in the lant Con gress. Such a step he said, would pro vide American ships to carrv Ameri can passengers and goods. He added that he took it for granted that the United States would find means to pro tect its own ship. LaTollette Opposed to War Senator I>aFollette, another White House caller to-dav. opposed the sug gestion that diplomatic relations with Germany be ibroken off. "I am for peice," said Senator LuFollctte. "I want the United States to take a firm stand, but I am opposed to war." The Philadelphia speech was inter preted by official Washington never theless that meaning that whatever course is pursued the United States probably would endeavor to serve the oauee of humanity by appealing to Germany to end her submarine war fare against unarmed merehantships carrying non-combatants. In some quarters the suggestion was made that the President might forgo the usual means of diplomatic corre spondence and address a fnessage in person to Kmperor William. It was pointed out by persons hitherto in the President's confidence that he first try to prevent a recurrence of such an at tack as was made on the Lusitania. taking up subsequently the question of reparation for the Ices of American lives. VIENNA PRESS SAYS SINKING OF LI'SITANIA WAS JUSTIFIED Venice, Via London, May 11. —The newspapers of Vienna justify the sink ing of the Lusitania on the ground that she was "virtually an auxiliary cruiser." The " Neues Wierner Tage blatt" says: "The Lusitania was really exactly the same as an English battle ship." The " Neue Freie Presse" says: "The sinking of the liner is equivalent to a naval defeat, and perhaps one re sult of the incident will be the collapse in America of faith in England and greater regard for the German empire." S. 11. KXOX CABLES THAT ' HIS COMPANION IS LOST Philadelphia, May 11.—In a cable gram addressed to his wife S. M. Knox, president of the New York Shipbuild ing Company, who was a passenger on the Lusitania, to-day informed her of his safe arrival in London. Albert Lloyd Hopkins, president of the Newport News Shipbuilding Com pany, was a traveling companion of Mr. Knox. The latter in his message adds these words: "Am convinced Hopkins is lost." This news would appear to settle the fate of Mr. Hop kins. His name appeared on the steam ship passenger list as Arthur Hopkinß, but his fTiends say that this is an er ror and that the Hopkins listed is real ly the Newport News shipbuilder. 7 RAILROADS CREW BOARD HAMUSBUBG SIDE Philadelphia Division— 127 crew to first after 10 n. in.: 111, 113 1-4 107. 132. 128, 109. 12!!. 102, 108."
