Ships Forced to Seek
Shelter During Heauy
Storm on North Atlantic
BY Associated Press

Queenstown, Ireland, Feb. IT,
Such violent storms have prevailed in
the North Atlantic during the past
week that many passenger stes mers
and cargo boats unable to battle
against the strong winds and high
waves encountered on their voyages to
America have turned around and run
for shelter to ports on this side of the
Atlantic.
Three large steamers among those
bound for the United States are re-
turning to Europe in severely batter
cd condition. The French liner Mia
CARA, which left Havre on February z
for New York lost her starboard pro-
peller soon after she got out and is
now crawling slowly back. The big
Dutch oil tanker Rotterdam when
eight days out from Amsterdam on her
way to New York lost her rudder and
was forced to make for Queenstown in
tow of q steam trawler.
Another steam trawler is towing the
British steamer Ludwig Greedel bound
to Baltimore. The ship lost her pro-
peller off the Spanish coast on Thurs
day.
The new candinavian- American
liner Frederik VIII, on her way from
Copenhagen February A for New York
has been greatly delayed by the gale.
She sent a wireless message to-day
saying she is proceeding to Fayal to
replenish her coal bunkers.
Several big cargo boats have put in
to st. Michaels during the past few
days to undergo repairs or to obtain

Pennsy and N. c. Roads
Application For Continued
Control Of Ships Heard

Washington, d. c., Feb. 17.-Hear-
ings began to-day before Commits
sioner McChord on the application OF
the Pennsylvania Railroad and the
Northern Central Railway to the In
tcrstate Commerce Commission for re-
leif from the operation of that pro-
vision of the Panama Canal act which
requires interstate railroads to divest
themselves Of ownership or control of
steamship and other water lines be-
fore July 1, 1914. The law provides
that if the commission should find
that the operation of water lines by
railroad companies does not exclude,
prevent or reduce competition" be-
tween the rail and water carriers it
may permit the railroads to continue
to operate the water carriers.
An order issued last autumn by the
commission gave all railroads until
March to file applications for the
retention of their water lines after
July 1. Eight formal applications thus
far have been filed and as many more
are in readiness to be submitted. In
each instance the applicant asserts
that its rail lines do not compete with
it's water lines and that the interests
of the commercial public are served
by the operation through the railroads
of the water lines.

VOCATIONAL TRAINING
MAKES HAPPY HOMES
The Civic Club Learns From
Milliard B. Kings
Lecture

Vocational training will lessen the
number of unhappy marriages; re-
duce intemperance and do away with
much of the present day immortality"

cational Subjects were taught our girls
in the public schools, society as a
whole would be bettered
1--WE should teach our girls to COOK
the simple dishes we use in our homes
every day., said Mr.. King, and forget
about the fancy dishes you hear OF In
domestic science courses. The average
girl is married within five years after
she leaves school. If she works she
has no time to learn housekeeping out
of school. Teach it to her while she
is vet in school and she'll never for
get It,"
Particular interest centers In his
su bject at this time, as preparations
are being made to have domestic SCI
ence introduced Into the curriculum
of the Steelton schools. The civic
Club has been in favor of vocational
trai,,ing in tn local schools for years
Last Fall Superintendent l.. q. Nc

PENNSY OFFICIALS

Dependent Members Of Families Of
RaiIroaders Will Travel
Free

Official announcement of the with
drawal of the order prohibiting triI
passes or the use of annual passes b!
wives and members Of the families o.
the employees of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, in accordance with the de
cision of the Public Service Commis
sioners, was received in HARRISBURG
at noon. to-day. and came from vice
President w. w. Atterbury, through
General Manager s. C. Long. TIT
official order Is as follows:
BY general notice dated No
vember 20, 1913, officers and EN-"
ployes weer advised that, under
the terms of the public service
company law of tho State OF
Pennsylvania, the free transpOrta-
tion between points within that
State Of members of their fami-
lies would not be permissible
after January 4, 1914, and that
the issue of passes covering such
transportation after that date
would consequently DO discon-
tinued.
The Public Service Commission
of the Commonwealth of Penn
syIyania, by it's administrative
ruling No. 1, has ruled that the
granting by railroad companies
of free passes to their officers and
employees to be used for the trans
portation of dependent members
of their families would not be re-
garded by the commission as a
violation of the provisions of the
public service company law.
This ruling will be accepted as
afrording protection against ex-
action of penalties for the issu-
ance of passes to dependent
members of the families of officers
and employees, and the general no.
tice of November 20, last, is
therefore annulled.
A supplemental order is expected
from General Manager Long givinl
detailed instructions as to the issu
ance of passes. and in the meantime
trip passes will be issued as in th'
past until otherwise ordered. 1t is th
belief, however, that instructions will
follow covering violations Of the pas
privileges.

out comment, affirms Judge Kunkel in
the case of the Commonwealth vs.. the
Lehigh Valley Railroad Company. The
suit decided compels the railroad COM
pany to pay the State s2S,577 in taxes.
The railroad company has nearly
S5,000,000 of its bonded Indebtedness
of $53.167,000 in the hands of savings
institutions with no capital stock. I'm
der the law such institutions are ex-
empted from paying State tax on cor
porate bonds they own. The law also
provides that If the bonds contain an
agreement that the issuing corporation
will pay the tax, the corporation must
deduct the tax from the interest,
Means Thousands =
The bonds in question contained
such an agreement, but the Lehigh
Valley refused to pay on s4,598,000 of
bonds owned by savings institutions,
the act unconstitutional An appeal
was taken to the Dauphih County
Court and last April Judge Kunkel
ruled against the railroad, deciding
that the taxes must be paid. The case
was appealed to the Supreme Court,
which sustains the judgment.
1t is estimated that more than a
hundred other corporations are affect
ed by the decision and the Auditor
General has figured that approxi-
mately O million dollars may be col
lected4 in back taxes under the de-
cision.
Estimating Taxes
Acting under, authority of State
taxation laws. the Auditor Generals
Department will on March 1 begin
estimating the State taxes of corpo-
rations which have failed to file their
reports of capital stock and loans.
The estimates will be based upon in.
formation which is secured by the
departments officers and carries with
1t a penalty of 10 per cent. All cor
porations are required to file by De.
cernber 81 statement of their bust
ness for the year ending November 80.
When this Is not done the department
has the right to estimate the value of
the stock for taxation purposes. Sew
eral hundred corporations are said to
be delinquent.
The department has finished the
settlements or estimates of all taxes
for 1919 and some which extended
further back. one settlement covering
six years, and is proceeding to make
collections.
A demurrer TO the mandamus pro-
ceeding to test the anthracite coal tax
