hundreds of railroadmen have been on
furlough for many months. that
neither freight nor passenger traffic is
up to what 1t was year ago; that the
iron mills are working at 80 to 40
per cent. capacity; that mills and fac
tories report very poor business, and
that many of them are working only
part time, but the large amount of
improvement work under way is pre-
venting anything like general suffer-
ing.
The construction of nearly two
miles iof river wall and steps, the
building of the river dam, the paving
OF streets, the laying of sewers, the
extension of the water mains and the
sewefing of Paxton creek all munich
pal developments, are giving work to
hundreds of skilled and unskilled la
borers who otherwise would be idle.

Its preparations for the erection of a.
great freight station and yards in the
lower end of the city and, with the

a large number of its men employed in
the construction of a big blast furnace
and numerous new buildings
All this has tended to keep business
up in Harrisburg.

In the opinion of the police, anna

Entrance was gained to the Wool

in the rear of the Astrich store. A
cellar CRATE opens into this alley from
the Woolworth store. Through this
CRATE. which was broken open, the
| burglars entered the Woolworth cell
lar, and from there went to the main
| floor, where they worked on the safe.
Discovers Battered Safe
When Manager Henry L. Griffin
reached the store this morning he
found empty boxes. sweaters, stock
and later discovered the battered up
safe in his office Around the safe a
number of sweaters had been placed,
for the purpose, it is believed, of
muffiing the noise when the door
would be blown off.
Three holes were drilled around the
: combination. The handle was battered
In such manner as to make 1t i'm.
possible to get the safe open until
after machinists from the Hickok
Manufacturing Company worked on it
for two hours this morning. A new
door will have to be made for the
safe.

of the burglars to the second floor,
but could not find anything missing
outside of cakes and sweetmeats With
Detective Joseph Ibach, Manager Grif-
fin made second trip. The heel
marks on the roofs of the adjoining
buildings and at the Gaugler picture
gallery were plain. 1t was no trouble
to trace the route of escape to the
Diener roof and thence to the yard
and alley. On the rungs of the ladder
used by the burglars paint marks also
were found.
Nothing was disturbed at the Gaug-
Ter gallery, except the call bell wires
and lock on the front door. Colonel
Hutchison is of the opinion that the
burglars worked during the storm, and
when the people were again moving In
the streets, fearing detection, they
made their escape. In the opinion of
Detective Joseph Ibach. the pair of
burglars were strangers to Harrisburg
and belong to a gang of amateur safe
crackers who are looking for easy
chances to blow safes.

amended so as to prevent any mill
tary leader from becoming provisional
president of Mexico. This would elm
mate Carranza, Villa, Angeles or any
of the leaders now in the field, as
presidential possibilities. This was
stated in a lengthy official statement
Issued here by the delegates before
adjourning the sessions.
According to the amendments of
the revolution plan upon assuming
control of the government at Mexico
City, General Carranza would call at
once a congress of his military lead
ers and representatives of the rank
and file, who would be spoken for by
one delegate to every thousand men.
This body would adopt a plan for the
holding of elections, and a program
for what policies should be put into
effect by the functionaries who might
be elected 1t was stated positively
that mo Constitutionalist chief could
figure as a candidate for President or
Argument Spirited
The official statement showed the
argument had been spirited at times,
but it reflected a final accord of the
delegates of Villas northern military
division and those representing the
division of the east as spokesman for
General Carranza. At the beginning
of the session, which extended over
almost q week, the Villa delegates re-
quested that Carranza name a "re-
sponsible cabinet" noming various
persons as those who would be ac-
ceptable to replace the present men,
bers of the provisional cabinet.

crisis, and the report that most of the
constitutionalist military leaders had
advised against a parley, members of
Carranzas junta here admitted that
their hopes for a conference were up
set.
President Wilson and members of
his cabinet to-day. maintained their
silence over the situation. 1t generally
was believed the administration would
withhold intimations of its future
policy in Mexico until the constitution
aiist leader definitely had outlined his
attitude over the peace parley.
Forces of General Obregou which
recently took Guadalajara, the second
largest city in the republic, were re-
coupling their strength for the next
rush toward Mexico City. Villas
army, in Chihuahua, apparently had
made no move to join in the campaign
against Huerta's capital. It's move
ment was awaited in some circles as
conclusive evidence of the rep orted
healing of the breach between Car
rama and Villa.

MANAGER TUCK" GARDNER
Squire T. V. Gardner assumed his
duties as manager of the Steelton team
of the Central Pennsylvania League
this morning. And a busy half day he
had looking after the interests of the
team.
In an effort to shake off the "Jinks"
that has been following the team
since the beginning of the season and
to develop a combination that will
pull Steelton out of its position as tail
enders, Manager Gardner has given
the team a severe shake-up and re-
arranged his batting order.
For to-day he had planned to place
Chester Books, a former Steelton
player, back in his old position at
short stop, sending Gluntz to second
base. Murphy goes from third base
to match and his place on third is to
be taken by Brenner, who played Sec
ond. Rhoads will be held in reserve
to-day as a pinch hitter on account of
an injured leg which prevents him
catching. The new batting order Is:
Captain Coleman, |. f.; c. Books, SIS. j;
Mart Murphy, c.. Levan, r. f.; Bren-
ner, 3b.; Gluntz, 2b.; S. Books, 1b. 1;
Boughter, c. f.; Biever, p.
This new combination, Manager
Gardner believes. will work as a
smoother machine and make a sufIi-

games to be played to bring the team
out of the second division. while 1t
may not be possible for us to overtake
New Cumberland and Middletown and
win the pennant, l believe we can win
enough games to bring us out of the
second division" said Manager Gard
ner this morning.
On account of the wet grounds
Steelton could not play at Highspire
this afternoon. An effort was made
to have the game played at Steelton,
but until noon no agreement had been
reached.
