The Delaware and Hudson company

A general resumption is not lookel

TROOPS TO Be TAKEN
FROM COAL FIELDS
Governor Stone Has Issued
Order For with laval.
MAJ. GENERAL MILLER NOTIFIED
Orders Do Not State the Time ard
Manner of Withdrawing Troops, but
All Will Probably Be Ordered Home

Manner of Withdrawing Troops, ba'
All viii Probably Be Ordered Home
Before Election Day.
Harrisburg. Pa. Oct 24-GeneraI
orders for the withdrawal OF troops
in the anthracite coal regions were IS.
sued by Governor Stone to Major Gen
eral Miller today. The orders do not
state the time and manner Of with
drawing the troops, but it is expected
that the state authorities Will bring
all Of them home with the possible
exception Of two or three regiments
before election day. This will avoid
the necessity of appointing a commit
tee to each regiment to take the votes
of soldiers in the field and the prepa'
ration of special forms Of ballots.
The prospects are that the troops
sent into the region last July will be
ordered home before those which were
ordered on duty later. Major Gener'
al MilIer's headquarters are at Potts,
vile and the movements Of the troops
will be directed from there. Cover
nor Stones orders to General Miller
contain the following:
"The purpose for which the division
National guard of Pennsylvania was
placed on duty in the southern coun'
ties in the state embraced in what is
known as the anthracite coal regions
having been accomplished and peace
and order having been restored in tho
several communities and it being evil
dent that the local civil authorities
will be able to preserve the peace
and give the necessary and proper pro
lection to life and property, the ma
jor general commanding division Ma

lieve the troops now on duty and re-
turn the several organizations to

C. B. Hunt, the computing engineer, has

Smith, president of the National Galleries
Company, that the sidewalk be relaid in
front of the Halls of the Ancients, on New

part of the bricks are in good condition.
and that the walk should be relaid and
leveled to the curb. Mr.. Hunt says a per-
sonal examination Of the sidewalk in ques-
ton did not show that the walk is In any
sense dangerous or to such an extent OBJ
jectionable as would at all indicate that
the action requested by Mr.. Smith should
be authorized. If the conditions are not
such as the property owners prefer, Mr..
Hunt suggests the proper course to pursue
is to construct new cement walk Mr.

CLAIMED THEY SPED TOO FAST
Policeman Stopped Two Representa-
tives in an Automobile.

When Police Lieutenant John c. Daley
of the ninth precinct reached the station
from the race track late yesterday after
noon he found four members of Congress
from New York awaiting his arrival Rep
resentatives o. H. P. Belmont and Jacob
Rupert, jr., had been stopped by Bicycle
Policeman Edwards because the automobile
OF the former, in which both men were
seated, had exceeded, according to the off,
Ger, the speed limit in II street northeast.
Representatives Ryan and Fitzgerald
were there looking after the interests Of
their friends. Policeman Edwards did not
discriminate In favor Of the representatives
and would have preferred charge against
the man who was guiding the vehicle had
not the lieutenant directed that his name
should not be entered upon the records.
Twenty-three miles an hour was the speed
recorded by the policeman's instrument,
whereas the law says that vehicles shall
not be propelled in and upon the city streets
at speed greater than twelve miles an
hour. On the county roads fifteen miles an
hour is the limit.
1t was denied by the occupants Of the We
hicle that an intentional violation Of the
law had been committed Mr.. Belmont ex-
planned that the limit may have been ex-
ceeded for a short distance when squirt
was made to prevent a collision. and g
policeman who had noticed the vehicle or
the road between the race track and the
city limits declared that the law was no.
violated in the county.
Representatives Fitzgerald and Ryan
came in from the track on a street car.
They saw the automobile about the time
the policeman took a hand in the case and
1t was their belief that the law was not be-
ing violated
Lieutenant Daley ended the discussion by
giving the benefit Of the doubt to the con-
gressmen and no record was made of an ar
rest. When they left the station the four
representatives were all apparently salts
fled with the outcome Of the affair.

AMOUNT MORE THAN DOUBLED.
Increase in Estimate for Grading and
Improving 1 1th Street. D

Upon the recommendation Of Capt. II. c.
Newcomer, assistant to the Engineer Com
missioner, the District Commissioners have
decided to increase the item for grading and
improving 18th street from 81 600 to SIS. 600,
anu that the item for assessment and per-
init work be increased from $4,000 to
100000 in the estimates for the expenses
of the District for the ensuing fiscal year.
Captain Newcomer states the neeo for the
increase for permit and assessment work
is evident in view of the large amount of
sidewalk and curb work which has already
Deen ordered in excess Of the available
funds, and of the further well-known facts
that there are great many old brick side
walks that should be relaid with cement at
an early date in the interests of the public
health and safety.
Captain Newcomer further says this ap-
preparation has the peculiar merit that for
every dollar expended by the public another
dollar will be expended by private property
owners, since this appropriation covers
work one-half the cost of which Is assessed
against abutting property.
