TRIP TO ALMSHOUSE

The fourteenth trip to the Dauphin
county almshouse was made to-day by
Fred Vogt, a well-known character
about the Courthouse.
To-day Vogt applied for admission
to the almshouse and was refused.
After a conference with Poor Director
G.. l. Boyer, President Judge Kunkel
ordered Vogt sent to the institution on
condition that misbehavior will mean
more drastic action on the part of the
county authorities.
Vogt's name appears on the poor
boards books since 1895. In 1910
he turns up on the books again and
thereafter several times year. Be-
hind some of the entries "eloped'' is
marked. This means that Fred stole
away from the almshouse without the
authorities knowledge.

The horses were res cued from the fire but soon after reaching safety hundreds of them be- came maddened for some reason that is not explained. They broke in Q wild stampede and for hours the peo- pie of the surrounding country were terrorized. Many of the animals jumped over a steep embankment in their blind madness and broke their limbs so that they had to be destroy ed. One raging brute jumped into an auto in which the postmaster and his wife were riding. The man and wo- man were both severely injured. Sev- eral fine animals were destroyed but considering the number that broke away the damage inflicted was not very much.

Opinion is di- vided as to the wisdom displayed by the commission but enough cannot be known yet to give a definite idea as to the result.
 The commission allows a five per cert increase in rates north of the Ohio and from the Potomac river west to the Mississippi. It refuses a rise in rates east of a vertical line which would run through Buffalo and Pitts burg, country which is the greatest traffic producer.
 The commission refused altogether any advance in the rates for coal which comprises half the traffic.
 The average increase allowed all over is one and a half per cent.
