Reading Railroad Men Discover
Building Ablaze in Two
Places; Find Oil

Timely action on the part of mem
bers of a Reading freight crew pre-
vented the firing of the warehouse OF
the Oliver Chilled Plow Company at
Fourteenth and Howard streets, short
ly before midnight.
Flames were discovered by the rail-
roadmen in two places. At both points
where the fire was burning oil had
been scattered and at one place a bot
tie of oil was found along with other
inhammable material.
Members of the Reading crew were
delivering several cars from the Ruth
erford yards. One trainman noticed
the rear door of the large building
aflame and called to the other train
men to bring some water. In the
meantime the second blaze along the
side of the structure had been discov-
cred. After eXtinguishing the fires the
police department was notified.
No clue to the person or persons
firing the building was obtained. The
damage to the building was slight.

Woman Shoots Deputy
Who Tries to Help in
Ejecting Her From Home

Harry McAfee. of West Fairview
was shot in the leg at 3 o'clock this
afternoon when Squire Frank Hoke,
the borough constable and half dozen
deputies attempted to oust Mrs. Ross
Frank from her home along the State
road at West Fairview for the alleged
nonpayment of her rent.
The woman refused to admit the
officers to her home whereupon the
latter procured a battering ram and
attempted to smash in the door. 1t is
then alleged that Mrs. Frank, while in
the front room of her home, fired sew
eral shots through the door one of
them taking effect in McAfees leg
The officers, as soon as the shooting
started. beat a hasty retreat over the
hillside and at 3.45 o'clock communi-
Gated with the sheriff's office at Car
Isle. The sheriff is now en- route to
West Fairview.

COUNCIL To TAKE
Up FILL AND PIPE
PROBLEMS A GAIN
Special Session to Consider These
Matters Will Be Held by
Commissioners

The River Front "hll" and "the wa
ter pipe in the park" problems are
due for final solution by City Council
at a special session at II o'clock to-
morrow morning and at the next reg
ular meeting of the body, respective
ly.
The commissioners decided these
matters this afternoon.
Commissioner NJ. Harvey Taylor
brought up the nil" question when
he recalled the single bid he had re-
ceived for hauling 10000 yards OF
earth from the front street subway to
the river front from "Hardscabble' tc
Division streets and upon which Coun-
ell postponed action for two weeks
The two weeks expired to-day.
The single bid was from Ray L.
Shoemaker who offered to haul the
earth at IS cents per dump wagon
load or SO cents per yard by indus
trial railway. The city will receive
fifteen cents per yard from Sucker
Brothers Construction Company, the
excavation contractors, for hauling the
dirt away.
The only question the commission
ers will likely consider tomorrow will
be the bid for hauling the earth by
dump wagon In his industrial rail-
way bid Mr.. Shoemaker had stipu-
Hated that he should have 10000 yards
guaranteed ready for delivery in 100
days. This Mr.~Taylor said he didn't
feel he could safely promise as there
might not be that much available
Mayor Has Plan
Mayor John K. Royal, however, has
had a communication from a man
whose name he did not care to di-
vulge before he places it before Coun-
Gil tomorrow in which 1t is suggested
that sufficient "fll" can be excavated
from the river bed outside the wall for
the purpose. 1t is believed, however
that the suggestion was made by H. j.
Berrier.
Among other things Council will
settle just where the Fill" is to go, as
there was a disposition among the
councilmen this afternoon to take
care of the curbing above Maclay
street first.
