YORK HAVEN
PLANT STARTED
Great Electrical Power Concern Is
Set In Motion Before CAPITALISTS.

AuSpiciouSly and in the presence of
capitalists from New York, philadel-
lhia and elsewhere the machinery of the
great electrical power plant of the York
Haven Water and Power Company, To-
Gated on the banks of the SuSuuphanna
river ut York Haven, was set in motion
on Monday for practical commercial pur-
poses. Several preliminary tests had
been made. The capitalists who saw
the iniation of the plant arrived in York
Haven by "a special train at noon. and
the machinery Of the plant was set in
molten shortly after their arrival.
About 20 years ago, when Henry L.
Carter, president of the Conowingo pa
per mill. ut Conowingo, Md. and other
capitalists bought an old mill at York
Haven, Mr.. Carter had for his original
plan the Harvesting of the SuSqueha nna
to supply power for the towns and
cities in this valley. His was one of the
earliest electrical power plans and was
on Monday realized even beyond his
most sanguine expectations. The old
paper mill which was bought by Mr..
Carter and his associates was rebuilt
and developed into a houriShing and
prosperous plant. York Haven was
transformed from n lifeleSs village to a
large town. These Things achieved, the
energetic Mnrylander turned his atten-
ton to the development of larger
scheme.
The work of building the plant was
begun in 1901. Last March, when the
buildings We're completed and most of
the machinery installed, there came a
setback. The mighty ice fre~hct which
swept down the SuSquehanna river car
rying all before it. wrecked the power
house and damaged the machinery, 80
that the plant could not be placed in
operation last spring, us it had been
planned by the engineers. The power
house was rebuilt and better fortified
against future onSlaughts of ice. The
machinery was quickly repaired and
everything was gotten ready for Mon
days test.
Most of the large industries in York
will be connected with the current and
operated by the power generated at York
Haven. All the electric street car lines
in that city and county will receive their
supply of current from the same source.
If the project is carried out to the limit
of Mr.. Carriers plan. habitationS, fac
tories. business houses. churches. halls
and theaters within Il radius of % miles
will receive their light from the plant.
The officers of the York Haven Water
and Power Company are Henry l.. Car
ter. president and manager: Judge w.
+. Bay Stewart. vicc-preSidem: Henry
w. Stokes. treasurer; II. A. W. Shock.

Both fighters are In good condi-

believed the bout will go the limit.
Betting on the result of the contest
Is about even. Mitchell has fought
twice In Pendleton and knocked out

CLEANSING NEW YORK.
Mayor Mcclellan Fighting a Brave
Battle for Good Order.

New York, Dec. 2.-The periodical
denunciatson of the police has begun
again with the familiar statement
tpat New York is one more wide
open" Police Commissioner McAdoo
is credited with zeal and honesty of
purpose In the Immense and practi-
cally Impossible task of enforcing the
law against gambling and evil resorts
and preventing grating" by the DO
lice, but specific charges that he has
failed as dismally as other commits
sioners, except Roosevelt, are made,
and can hardly be denied.
1t is said that below Forty-second
Street there is scarcely any attempt
at secrecy about the operation of
poolrooms. Besides the betting on
racing going on throughout the coun-
try, other games of chance are operat-
ed. In some cases 1t is said that there
is not even a partition to divide the
poolroom proper from the portion of
the apartment where other games are
played.
If a patron loses on the horses. he
often attempts to recoup at the other
games, and vice versa. That payment
and heavy payment, is made for per-
mission to carry on gambling in this
varied style is not doubted. Perhaps
Tammany is making good ante-elec-
tiun promises to the vicious element,
but 1t is only Justice to say that Mayor
Mcclellan and Commissioner McAdoo
are doing all they can to fulfil their
promises Of a clean government.

Garfield, it is believed will leave
Washington within the next week,
coming direct to Chicago and issuing
snbpoenas for the trust leaders to ap-
pear before him and produce their
hooks.
This action will close the investiga-
tion into the beef trust methods begun

to assist the department of commerce

Investigation, has broken its prom

wanted.

Eminent attorneys for the govern
ment declare that Garfield, under the
power conferred upon him by the
congressional resolution, can force the
trust to produce its books in court.

who have been at work in Chicago
during the last six months have prac-
