ALTOONA FOR TESTS
Pennsy Now Trying to Put Engine

Main Line

The stretch of the main line between
the Conemaugh yards and Altoona is
becoming one of the most important
test roads on the entire Pennsy system.
Because of the unusual grade which
marks the eastern part of the road
and the numerous curves and other
features of the mountain, travel in the
western part of this section is declared

Pennsylvania is now putting it.
The Pennsylvania is experimenting

is likely to be many years before it is

10 Build New Plant
For Heat Testing in,
Pennsy Juniata Shops

A big plant, where the frames of
the largest locomotives may be heat
treated, will be erected as a part of
the Juniata shops within the near
future. Engineers for the company,
after exhaustive tests at the plant al
ready In use, decided to give practi-
cally all the steel entering into the
construction of a locomotive a special
heat-treatment.
The building of the new heat treat
ing plant, which will be just twice the
size of the plant already in use, will
likely necessitate the building of a
new shop to house the making
machines, and this shop will likely be
built just east of the shops.
About year ago the first heat treat
ing plant was built at Juniata, and
since that time all rods, pistons and
other parts have been heat treated.
No official announcement concern
ing the new plant has yet been made,
but it will be. issued within a short
time.

HENRY coBURGER, THE OLDEST
MAN IN POINT OF SERVICE ON

CONFINED TO HIS ROOM.

Henry Coburger, the oldest man IN

that he was too Ill to take up his
duties as desk sergeant, and yesterday
Officer Jernigan was working on the
watch usually filled by this veteran po-
liceman.
Officer Coburger has the rather
unique distinction of having worked in
the police department under a dozen or
more administrations. For many years
he drove the patrol wagon. He has
worked on the beat. In the patrol
house, served as captain of the watch,
has been stationed at the turkeys
desk and has filed every position that
an officer could fill in the department.
His connection with the Pensacola
police department covers a period Of
more than twenty five years, and dur
ing that time he has never been seri-
ousIy reprimanded; has never been
called to trial before any Of the
boards, and has always tried to do
his duty.

After arguing this point for several

Considerable excitement reigned in a

was discovered inside the place, and
could give no reasonable explanation
why he was there. It was reported to
the police that a shot or two had been
fired at the frightened darkey, but this
was not verified.
The negro, who gave his name as
Will Speed, was detained by force and
held there until the arrival of officers.
Telephone messages were sent to both

officers from the police station reached

reached the city. He tried to say that
he meant no harm in Deing there, and
was quoted as claiming that the door
through which he entered was un-

defense was that OF self defense. Mr..
Johnston's evidence went to show that
he was in fear Of his life at the hands
Of the deceased, and that at the time
he began shooting deceased was reach
ing his right hand toward his hip
pocket. This line of evidence was cor
roborated by the testimony of num-
Der Of witnesses, who tested that Mr..
Whitmire had made threats against the
life of Mr.. Johnston at sundry times
during the past few months, some Of
which, at least had been communicated
to Mr.. Johnston.
The taking of testimony was con-
tinued Thursday, and not completed
until late in the afternoon, when the
defendant was acquitted, the verdict
being that in killing Kim Whitmire,
he had acted In self defense.
