BULLDOGS GUARD DEAD WOMAN
-MYSTERY-DOGS SHOT

Washington, Nov. 23.-Guarded by
her three dogs, who had to be shot
before they would permit the police
to enter the room, the dead body of
Mrs. Mary Kelley was found in her
home here early today. Police think
she had been dead several days. The
famished dogs had torn flesh from
the body in several places and it was
so decomposed that only an autopsy
will determine the cause of death. =.
The woman was a recluse and
neighborhood gossip said that she
had money and valuables concealed
about the house. The police are in
vestigating the theory that these
rumors led to a visit by thieves and
that the latter, surprised by the wom-
an and her dogs, beat her to death in
escaping.
Policemen entered the house by
means of a ladder, but as they set foot
inside the three dogs cross-bred
bulldogs jumped at them. They
beat them off with their sticks and
the animals retired to the bedroom,
where the torn body of the woman
lay on bed. There they were shot.

ARBITRATION BOARD TO SETTLE
r. r. CONTROVERSY

K. K. CON ROVERSI
A board of arbitration meeting to
settle Ithe controversy between SO
western railroads and $4,000 en-
ployes will open session Monday in
the Federal building.
Early last May the unions present
ed their demand to the railroads who
refused to consider them. They in
turn refused to arbitrate. A strike
vote was taken and SO per cent voted
for a strike. However, Pres. Wilson
interviewed and the crops were saved.
Now with all of the crops moved
and the slight annual slackening up
of trade in late autumn the railroads
are going to arbitrate.
Most important of the demands
are:
Slight increase of basic wages.
Time and a half for overtime.
Two firemen for engines over GER
tain size.
Relief of many duties of firemen
and engineers.
When negotiations were first begun
railroads claimed to be in such finan-
straits that they could not AFFORD TO
grant these demands. In reply to this
the railroad men issued a pamphlet
showing how the railroads were max
ing more money than ever before and
also how they were obliged to pay
dividends and interest on so many is
sues of stocks and bonds that they
were obliged to economic.
N. Y. STOCK EXCHANGE OPENS

AS announced several times during
the last few weeks, we will be unable
to get another edition of the Panama
book, and the great distribution must
be brought to a close without delay.
In few days the offer will be with
drawn and you cannot get this big

ment should all be taken before the
time agreed upon to close, we will be
unable to furnish another book.
The knowledge to be gained by a
close reading of this volume will for
ever after be a valuable asset to every
man, woman and child, for this great
waterway is destined to become an
important factor in times of peace as
we'll as in war. 1t will revolutonize
the shipping of all the nations of the
world; 1t will bring about changes in
the trade and commerce Of all the
earth; it will open up new avenues of
trade and establish new relationships
between the various countries of the
globe.

to possess. Present your certificate

PROTECT THE CARLISLE SCHOOL,

[From the PHILADELPHIA Public Ledger.]
If there is any mlsmanagement at
the Indian School at Carlisle or If ir-
Irregularities have been permitted among
the pupils, there should be the fullest
Investigation. But the friends of this
institution will watch with jealous in
terest lest a Congressional investiga-
ton shall be made the pretext for the
removal of the school to some point in
the West Past experience has made
them distrustful of complaints against
the Carlisle School, and while there is
not the slightest disposition to shield
Of the whole truth about the affairs of
work for permit of it's abolition to be
thought OF or it's transfer elsewhere
without emphatic protest by every true
friend of the Indians.
1t was a matter OF nationwide
knowledge that under the management
OF General Pratt the school at Carlisle
Barracks rose to position of conspicu-
Gus efficiency and usefulness. It's wards
are carefully selected from among the
various Indian reservations, and the
young Indians thus removed from the
influences at home which tended to re-
tard their development in the knowl-
are trained for useful citizenship In
the output of the school there are
doubtless instances of misfit and fail
une, but the same can be said of any
educational institution. Carlisle is
striving to make useful citizens of the
Indians committed to its care, and it
should not be subjected to the wiles of
the wire-puller and the pork barrel
politicians at Washington.

And the crew was about to welcome
The close of another hard day.

The trolley was turned, and the men
Were waiting the moment to start on
Their trip to the city again.
When suddenly, out in the darkness,
A Deep sullen voice was heard.
Throw up your hands," was the mes
And this was what quickly occurred.
How dare you," flung back the con-
ductor,
Commit such an act of disgrace?"
And just as the robber would enter
The door was slammed in his face.

To switch on his current full force
To his orders he promptly responded
The car swiftly sped on its course.

Abashed, and guess they have

Would get their six fares for a

EVENING, JANUARY 81.
DIVISION STREET SUBWAY

{" HERE can be no doubt about the
final outcome of the energetic
i campaign which has been started
nv the West End Improvement
League in support of the movement TO
provide a subway under the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad tracks at DIVISION
street. This organization OF citizens
of West Harrisburg Is proceeding on
the right lines and there is absolutely
nothing to be said in opposition to the
subway proposition. With the west
ward development of the city, whlch
is more and more rapid with each
year, the need for a subway at DIVISION
street is becoming so apparent that
there can be no grounds for refusing
to favorably consider the project.
While no official announcement has
been made by the railroad company,
we suspect that this subway must have
been in the thought Of responsible
heads of the company for some years.
1t is now up to the point where action
is necessary, and it is not unlikely that
a conference between the officials OF
the West End League and the railroad
officials would bring to focus the
important question which now agitates
q large part of Harrisburg.
Meanwhile the live organization in
the upper end of the city undoubtedly
has the support of all the civic asso-
Citations inasmuch as a subway at
Division street is too big a question to
be regarded as a local or sectional
proposition. 1t is a matter in which
the entire city is interested, especially
in view of the fact that it contem-
plates real entrance for the great
Wildwood Park.
1t is well that the West Enders are
concentrating their energy and effort
upon a definite need and SO long as
this policy is pursued there can be no
question about the benefit of their
organization, not only to the western
section of Harrisburg, but to the en-
tire community. What is Of benefit to
one section must be Of benefit to all
and this view of the matter is certain
to increase and develop the civic pride
of the whole of Harrisburg.

"HE offer of Lincoln Beachey to
demonstrate the flying qualities
L of the old Langley aeroplane,
which has occupied a niche in
the Smithsonian Institution since 1t
fell into the Potomac river. shattering
some of its more delicate parts and
incidentally breaking it's designers
heart is interesting.
Professor Langley always held that
he had solved in this contrivance,
which antedated the Wright achieve
ment by many years, the problem of
the heavier -than-air flying machine.
While newspapers twitted him on his
failure and paragraphers dubbed him
Darius Green, the second" the dis
appointed inventor clung to the belief
that his model required only a stronger
engine and the proper guiding hand to
make 1t soar with the birds.
Beachey, who knows more about air
craft than possibly any other aviator
in the country, agrees with the dead
inventor in this. and it will be inter-
esting to note results when he bitches
modern motor to the Langley aero
plane and attempts to fly. If his con-
clusions are correct Langley's fame
will be forever secure and his name
will be linked even more closely than
at present with the origin and de-
velopment of the aeroplane.
