at All Times

Conductors and motormen of the
Harrisburg Railways Company were
pleasantly surprised this morning by
the announcement of an increase of

according to the following scale of
wages:
Employees one year in service, II
cents an hour; two and three years
service. % cents; four and five years
service, "a cents; all above Ave years.
rs cents an hour.
In view of the dropping of hundreds
of men by the railroad companies, the
advance in wages is regarded by EN-
ployes as a fortunate circumstance.
In a bulletin advising the men of
the increase President Frank b. Mus
ser calls attention to the importance
of courtesy in the running of the cars
and the exercising of care to avoid all

theory that they may have diseased
brains and that they may require
mental treatment as substitute for

not recognize their obligations to sup

sent to a laboratory instead Of to jail.
Those arrested on other charges may
receive the same treatment.
Chicago's new psychopathic labora-
tory, the first of its kind in the United
States, will be established in the near
future as an auxiliary to the municipal
court. it was announced to-day. Judges
of the municipal court yesterday COM
pleted their plans for the establish
ment and maintenance of the
laboratory.
DR.. william j. Hickson, Of Vine
land. N J., who studied in the court
laboratory at Berlin. will be the head

75 MORE POLES TO
COME DOWN DURING
YEAR. SAYS D|EHL
Ordinance Necessary to Compel
Western Union to Remove
Those in Third St.

From fifty to seyenty-five more of
the unsightly poles that have helped
support the network of wires will be
removed from the city streets during
the ensuing year, according to City
Electrician Clark Il. Diehl to-day. The
cutting down of these poles is part of
the plan for Improvement which Elec-
trician Diehl had in mind when he
asked City Council for an appro.
priatlon of $4,000 for further work.
The item was allowed in the budget.
THE item will allow US to go ahead
in the near future with the work of
removing these additional poles" said
Mr.. Diehl, land we will first take
down the pole in Court street and then
in Market to Cameron; when that is
finished we. will try to extend the
teenth and Market streets. North
wardly we hope to get the street
cleared as far as Briggs street.
with the exception of a few poles
In Market and Third streets the bust
ness district is being well cleared. I've
noticed in the papers that the Western
Union company means to remove its
poles. To compel this to be done
would require general ordinance, ]
should suppose. which will have to be
passed by City Council"
Poles to Come Down
All the cable that will be needed to
complete the installation of the city's
new underground fire and police alarm
system has been received and the city
electrician will begin the alterations
as soon as the weather permits. The
completion of this job alone will mean
the elimination of about thirteen poles
The string of shafts in question
extends down Court street to Third
and Market, where a great pole now
stands diagonally opposite the Colo
NAL Theater. A short distance be-
tween Market in Third is another, or
opposite sites of Third street at the
intersection of Strawberry are two
more. one Is standing In Third hall
way between Walnut and Strawberry
streets, and another towers at the
corner of Third and Walnut.
Most of the poles still standing are
owned by the Western Union com.
pany. Company officials who could
discuss the matter were out of town
to-day.

IND SOLUTION FOUND
TOS|TUAT|0NC CAUSED
BY RES|G NATIONS
Sir John French VIII Likely Be
Transferred to Some Other
Field of Activity
By Assoeioted Ptess

London, March 2S. = No solution
had been found up to late hour to-
day of the situation caused by the
resignation of Field Marshal Sir John
French and Adjutant General Sir John
Ewart from their positions at the head
of the British army. The cabinet,
however, was still hopeful that its diff
fculties would be overcome before 1t
again meets the House of Commons
Monday.
Should the chief of the general staff
and the adjutant general to the forces
persist In their attitude it is generally
thought that Colonel John Seeley, Sec
retary of State for War, will leave the
cabinet.
In case the government should be
able to placate the field marshal and
the adjutant general, the transfer of
Colonel Seely to some other field of
activity probably will satisfy the Lib
'eral and Labor malcontents.

CLEVERLY DESTROYS CLUES
TO IDENTITY, HE THINKS

When Tony Maituck stole $40
from his boarding boss at 1915 Wal
lace street, on Wednesday. to prevent
direction he blotted out his picture
from a group photograph in the par
lor.
After pulling off this clever piece
of work, Tony took the next train for
Lynn, Mass. There, however, yester-
day he was arrested. Maituck had
overlooked one important thing. He
forgot there was a negative Of the
group picture at local photograph
gallery. Colonel Joseph B. Hutchison
procured a picture from this negative,
heard that Tony had gone to Massa-
chusetts, sent the picture to Lynn,
and the arrest followed.
Maituck confessed to his guilt.

About Him

Supporters Believe Administration
Measure Will Be Passed
Tuesday
BY Associated Press

Washington, March 2S.-Debate on
the repeal of the Panama tolls exemp-
ton continued to-day in the House and
Senate. The House was proceeded on
the Sims bill under twenty hours de-
bate as provided in the hard fought
battle of yesterday. The Senate was
debating the subject generally.
In the House. Representative Know
land, controlling the time for the Re-
publicans, assailed the repeal in un-
measured terms. ''as surrending TO
Great Britain without struggle"
rs the Panama canal now the price
of the elimination of Huerta?" he de-
manded.
In the Senate resolutions by Sena-
tor Lewis and Senator Gallinger were
laid aside until Monday. Mr.. Lewis
resolution was supplementary to one
now pending, declaring for equal tolls
and would empower the President to
suspend tolls in his discretion.
Administration supporters are conf
dent the repeal bill will pass the House
| by Tuesday night or early Wednes-
day.
Says He Is Imposed Upon
Yesterdays victory for the admins
tration in the House has aroused ex-
pectations of champions of repeal in

ence of It's chairman, Senator O'Gor-
man.

the issue as you may, there is no es-
Gaping from the naked truth for the
first time the people OF this great ma
ton are urged to surrender under
foreign pressure" declared Mr.. Know
land in the House. II entertain high
regard for the President of the United
States. His patriotism and honesty
of purpose / would not attempt to
question. However. like all members
of the human family he is apt to err.
In this Instance an apparent error of

situation has necessltated the latest
move at least his message so hints
