Upon the strength of an Investiga
tion that has been under way for sev
eral weeks, Assistant Director John
Meigs, head of tho engineering force
ot tho Philadelphia Dock Depart
ment, will, at an early date, render
a detailed report with recommenda
tions to Director Xorris, relative to
the equipment of all piers In that
port with the most modern and effi
cient met hanical applicances for the
qui' k and economic handling of
freight
CELEBRATION TO UK DIG KVKXT
Xow Thnt Cnthomliile Will Xot Cele
brate, Our Kvent Will lie Rigger
nud Better Than 1'launed.
Oh. yes, don't forget the big cele
bration wo are going to have In
Houesdnlc on August 27, 2S nnd 2U.
You must make arrangements to
come one day at least. Everybody is
going to be here and we will expect
you.
The fanners of Wayuo county
aro all getting Interested in the big
grange parade and also tho people
from the adjoining counties will bo
here In numbers.
Carbondale has decided that there
Is not enough time to get up a cele
bration nnd have called theirs oft un
til next year. Now Honesdnlo will
have full swing and our celebration
will be bigger and better than at llrst
dim
planned. The attractions will bo
Xew York, experlenci--? tho same ; first-class and you can come to
mollifies to a greater degree, has Jonesdalo on any of the above men-
three days and you will be royally
entertained.
The committees on printing have
envelopes announcing the celebration
which they want tho merchants to
evidenced a deep Interest in this ef
fort in Philadelphia to solve what is
regarded as one of the most difficult
as well as one of the most Important
problems of successful port admin
istration. Both 13. F. Cresson, Jr.,
First Deputy Commissioner of tho
Xew Y'ork Dock Department, and H.
McL. Harding, Its consulting en
gineer, who is a recognized expert on
the subject of freight handling ma
chinery, have requested copies of tho
report, with full Information as to
conclusions reached and descriptions
of any improvements made.
Up to the present time the loading
and unloading of vessels In the Port
of Philadelphia, except In cases of
bulk cargoes such as coal, grain, oil,
etc . has been by the ship's winch, or
by carrying freight between pier and
ship on hand trucks. The disposition
of freight within the pier has also
been largely by means of hand
trucks.
One of the greatest disadvantages
of such a method is that freight can
not possibly be stored higher than
from live to eight feet, with the re
sult that the other fifteen or eighteen
feet to the pier roof is so much un
used, and therefore wasted, storage
space. Figures which Director Xor
ris has had compiled for the entire
port show the average storage height
on piers to be only from live to six
feet which Involves a tremendous
sacrifice of pier efficiency.
Xew Y'ork recently Installed the
electric truck system on several piers
in that port, and It has been found
to be a successful Improvement upon
the old method of " man power,"
The new trucks are storage battery
cars that can be run to or from any
part of the pier and often to the
deck or hold of a ship. Whereas, a
man with a hand truck cannot carry
more than five hundred or six nun
dred pounds each trip, tho electrical
ly driven cars carry a ton or more
This system, however, has not solved
the problem of handling and stack
ing the freight, for corps or men are
still needed in tho hold of tho vessel
and upon the pier to load and unload
the trucks
Xor does an outside crane system
on the pier fulfill all requirements
By such a method the cargo of a
shin is necessarily unloaded at one,
two or three different points on the
wharf, and from there it has to be
distributed by hand trucks. Or even
If telpherage, a system of electrically
operated overhead trolleys, do em'
ployed In connection with the crane
system, to mechanically transport the
cargo, tho overhead carriers of neces
sity follow a given lino of track, ana,
unless there be an infinite number of
aerial conveyances, freight Is again
dronned along a limited path, from
which it must be trucked to other
parts of the pier.
Assistant Director Meigs, in dis
cussing this difficulty, has pointed
to a plan that may provide the rem
edy needed. Thus far tho new idea
is only on paper and is a product ot
New York's endeavor to overcome
similar difficulties. Engineers con
cede that Its practical operation in
volves intricate mechanical problems,
hut at the same time they say it may
prove feasible
'Simply described, this is an im
proved telpherage system, with a set
of tracks running from tho shore
line out along tho pier, around tho
end and returning to the shoro line
on the opposite side of the pier, these
tracks being parallel with and only a
few feet distant from tho plershed
walls.
At frequent Intervals these tracks
are tapped with switches which com
municate to lateral racks running
across tho pier and connecting with
the tracks on tho other side. This
permits the circuit to bo lengthened
or shortened so that freight may be
deposited at almost any point desired.
Tho obvious difficulty pointed to
by engineers, and ono that Is not
clearly explained away on paper, is
how to get the necessary number of
switches, how to operato them suc
cessfully, how to economically movo
the lateral tracks, and how to create
a mechanism governing the whole
which will bo practical and efficient.
An enllghtonlng discussion of this
new system Is expected to form a
part of tho report to be made to DI
rector Xorrls.

Harvey Borcher. who was brought
to this place last Tuesday from Tan
ners Falls, his home, on information
sworn to by Herbert Stanton, of that
place, to the effect that Borcher
was of unsound mind, committed
suicide on Saturday morning about
eleven o'clock rather than be taken
to a sanitarium.
On Friday afternoon the commis
sion composed of Attorney C. A. 'Mc
carty, 'F. H. Crago and Dr. H. B.
Ely, appointed by the Court to in
quire into the sanity of Borcher,
held a hearing in (Mr. McCarty's
office in the Itelf building. A num
ber of witnesses, who were neigh
bors of Borcher, testified that he
was of unsound mind and acted
queer at times. They said that they
were afraid of him because ho was
n tho habit of carrying a revolver.
It was brought out In the evidence
given at the hearing that Borcher
had been affected as at present
since February, 1911, but lately he
had been much better. Ho had not
been working for some time on ac
count of his nervous temporraent.
Tho testimony before the commission
and the man's actions could only
bring one verdict. They decided
that Borcher must bo confined in a
sanitarium for the welfare of others.
He was to be sent to Danville on
Monday and was to be accompanied
there by Sheriff Kimble.
That night he was allowed to go
to the homo of his sister, Mrs.
Brown, on Maple avenue, and his
mother agreed to watch over him
through the night. Saturday morn
ing he arose with the rest of the
family and while waiting for break
fast told them he wanted to go out
of the house to smoke. They did
not think anything of It until he
failed to return In a reasonable
length of time. About nine o'clock
a telephone message came from
Tanners Falls saying that Borcher
was there. He had walked along the
road as far as the fair grounds and
then had cut across fields to Tan
ners Falls. On reaching there he
went to his mother's house by the
back way and proceeded to start a
fire where ho cooked his breakfast.
After that he fed the chickens and
hoed about four rows of potatoes.
The Sheriff was then notified that
Borcher had gone back home and he

Falls about a quarter of ten. He
stopped at William F. Hieller's store
thero and from that placo could see
Borcher sitting on tho porch In his
shirt sleeves. When Borcher saw
the sheriff ho started to run through
the garden to get away. Sheriff
Kimble started after him, calling to
him to stop. About thirty rods from
tho house Borcher reached a knoll
and ran around It, and when tho
sheriff came up on the other side of
the knoll, Borcher was In the act
of drinking something from a bot
tle. Ho threw the bottle down and
said, "You'r too late Frank. I took
carbolic acid." Kimble asked him
what ho did that for and ho replied,
1 11 never go to State s prison. They
did not give mo a fair show at tho
hearing and I said I would kill my
self before I would go away." The
bottlo was lying on the ground and
he picked It up and said, "That's
it," and lost consciousness. Sheriff
Kimble called help and with the help
of Henry Layton, William Tamblyn
and two other men, they carried
Borcher to the house, where they
worked to revivo him. Dr. P. B.
Petersen was called and while wait
ing for him the men had him drink
the contents of about three bottles ot
sweet oil. Borcher died about flvo
minutes after Dr. Petersen arrived,
having lived about an hour after i
taking the acid. An inquest was
deemed not necessary. The mother
arrived soon after the son expired.
The funeral services were held In
Tanners Falls on Tuesday morning
at eleven o'clock. Interment was
made In Riverside cemetery.
Borcher was twenty-nine years of
age and had lived all his life In Tan
ners Falls. He was a large man and
of apparently powerful physic. He
was known to be a hard working
and Industrious young man and it Is
regrettable that such a man should
be afflicted. He was subject to
spells of nervousness and for about
a year he had not been Just right,
which caused the neighbors to fear
him, but of late he had been much

MRS. ROSENTHAL TESTIFIES
Will lie Erected by State Highway
Department First Lot Will Con
sist of 1,000 Posts of a Stand
ard Design.
Harrlsburg, July 22. The first
sign posts to bo placed along the
highways of Pennsylvania will be
put into position this summer by
the State Highway Department, and
lists are now being mado by the en
gineers In charge of the operations
of the road branch of the state gov
ernment, so that the localities most
In need of markers will receive at
tention. Until the locomotive superseded
the stage coach the sign board was
a necessary adjunct of travel and
was maintained with great care, but
in recent years little attention has
been paid to index boards in Penn
sylvania, and although the law
charges constables with the duty of
reporting the absence of sign posts,
there are many cross roads In the
state without a stick to indicate tho
way to nearby towns. Some pro
gressive communities have under
taken to cure the evil, and motor
clubs have done their part, but the
Stato will now look after such mat
ters along the 8,000 main highways
embraced in tho plan for comnre
henslve Improvement. The sign
post is to be given as much atten
tion as the condition of the road.
State Highway Commissioner E
M. Blgelow has let a contract for the
first 1,000 sign posts, deliveries to
begin next month. These posts will
bo of Iron, with the name of the
road or town to bo shown In Iron
letters fused on an iron plate, the
direction to bo indicated by an ar
row also of Iron. This style was
determined upon after extended In
vestlgation in other states and couu
ties. Although tho posts and signs
are practically Indcstructiblo any at
tempts to defaco or Injure will be
vigorously prosecuted. Xot only the
state road maintenance officials, but
local officers and citizens will be
urged to prevent tampering with
the sign posts, because of their valuo
to tho public.
Placing of the posts will be in tho
hands of a department attacho who
will also inspect them when erected.
Ho has been visiting many counties,
cheeking up on tho necessity for
signs at points reported for such im
provements. As fast as locations are
determined upon orders will be giv
en for the work which will within
a few years raise Pennsylvania from
tho dlsreputo into which she has
fallon in the minds of her own peo
ple and visitors from other states
for neglect of ono of tho most es
sential accessories of travel.
As the systom of Improved roads
develops uudcr the plans made In
anticipation of the voting of the
J50.000.000 bond Issue for high
ways, tho new roads will bo properly
marked. Tho bond lssuo amend
ment to tho constitution will bo act
ed upon by tho legislature next win
ter for the second tlmo and If
adopted, as now seems probable tho
people will bo called upon to vote
on tho question In 1913.
It is In direct lino with tho opinion
of the Corporation Counsel of tho
city of Xew York, who recently noti
fied Mayor Gaynor that the city
could be held for damages caused
through an order of the Park Com
missioner in "directing" motorists
over a given portion of a public high
way to wit, Coney Island Boule
vard, between King's Highway and
2 2d street. Tho Mayor at once di
rected tho Commissioners to rescind
their order.
The Touring Club of America has
been urging a test case such as has
Just been dee'ded In Pennsylvania,
and It now proposes that an action
shall be brought against the toll road
companies in Xew England, with a
view to showing that if, in accord
ance with the precedent established
by tho court regarding water bars in
public highways, tho local govern
ments can be held for damages. It
Is also truo that companies operat
ing toll roads can likewise be held
for damages caused to cars and
motorists through water bars on
these private roads.
Such a test case would also apply
to the famous road over Peru Moun
tain. The same action would apply
to owners of large estates who have
through Influence closed public roads
and opened In return for the privi
lege road through their property, at
the same time attempting to prevent
fast driving by Introducing danger
ous water bars.
Mong the same line the club
hopes to meet with success for the
motor tourists in the elimination of
what might be termed "sight bar
riers" at prominent highway Inter
sections and grade crossings. This
work was begun last year througn
the club's branch at the Hotel Wen
dell, In Pittsfleld. This year it has
been extended, and so far many cross
highways have been cleared up by
first obtaining permission from abut
ting property owners and tnen sena
Ing men with axes and scythes to cut
away trees and shrubbery which ob
structed the view of motoriBts ap
proaching the crossings.
In many cases obstinate owners
have refused permission to remove
trees or bushes, and afterward seri
ous accidents have occurred at the
crossings where permission was de
nied to make them sate witnout tne
slightest expense to the property-owners.
