CHEAPER GAS FOR

If Supply From Steelton Ovens Is
Utilized Price May
Come Down

Cheaper gas for Harrisburg and

the event of the Harrisburg Gas Com
pany's getting a large part of its gas
supply from the coke ovens of the
Semet-Solvay Company at Steelton.
All is in readiness TO lay pipes con
Meeting pipes between the pipe lines
in South Cameron street and the
Semet- -Solvay ovens. The one big OBJ
stacle at present is question or
whether the Semet-Solvay people have
legal right to furnish gas for con-
sumption in this city
This question is now up TO the State
Public Service Commissioners and 1t is
understood will be taken up very
shortly. In the opinion of one official
of the Harrisburg Gas Company less
than two months will elapse after per-
mission Is granted until the connecting
links in the pipe lines will be laid.
According to the company officials
almost enough gas Is now going to
waste at the coke ovens to supply the
entire Harrisburg area and gas could
be furnished to the consumer at re-
duced rates if this wasted supply was
utilized. If permission of the Public
Service Commission is granted pipes
will have to be laid through private
property to avoid digging up the State

DIVIDENDS REDUCED

Increase in Expenditures For 1918
Is Responsible For Directors
Action
BY Associated Press

Philadelphia, March 25.-The direc-
+! tors of the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chi
cago and st. Louis Railway Company,
the Pennsylvania lines west of Pitts
burgh, to-day reduced the dividend n
the common stock from five per cent.
a year to thre per cent. and on the
preferred stock from five per cent. to
four.
In connection with the announce
ment President Rea, of the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad, made the following
statement:
THE directors Of the Pittsburgh,
Cincinnati, Chicago and st. Louis Rail-
way Company, at their meeting to-
day. considered and approved the an
! nual report for 1918, the results of
which have already appeared in the
annual report of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company. This report
showed an increase of S4,600,OO0 in
operating and maintenance expenses,
Which includes the extraordinary out
lays for requirements and repairing
tracks, bridges and other facilities de-
stroyed or damaged by the serious
floods of March, 1918, so that. after
paying its fixed charges and appropri-
ations to sinking and other reserve
funds, there remained only S63O,O64
as applicable for dividends The com
pany, however, paid it's regular five
per cent. dividends on the preferred
and common stock, aggregating S3,-
232 ,542, but in order to meet the same
had to utilize in large part its surplus
income from previous years.
Best to Reduce Dividend
In view of the decline in the gross
and net revenues of the company in
the latter part of 1918 and SO far In
the present year, and as there are still
large expenditures to be made In the
current year for the flood damage of
1913, the directors deemed it prudent
to reduce the dividend and therefore
declared one per cent. on the prefer
red and three-fourths of one per cent.
on the common stock for this first
quarter of the fiscal year, or at the
rate or four per cent per annum for
the preferred and three per cent. for
the common, as against five per cent.
declared on each class of stock in re-
cent years.
The directors of the PENNSYLVANIA
Company, which operates the North
west system of the Pennsylvania lines
west of Pittsburgh, also met oday
but transacted only routine business
according to the company's announce
ment.

Declares Spinster Will
Outlive Welded Woman
By Associated Press

New York, March 25. The spinster
lives longer than the married woman,
and the woman who holds an endow-
ment insurance policy lives longer than
the woman who takes out a straight
life policy. These facts, substantiated
by statistics gathered last year by ex-
.perts in the employment of forty.-three
insurance companies, were brought out
last night by Arthur Hunter, an actu-
airy, in an address at the monthly meet
ing Of the Life Underwriters Associ-
alton of New York.
Mr.. Hunter also said the business
woman lives longer than the married
man but he did not attempt to explain
why, except to declare that figures
proved his statement to be a fact. Nor
did he explain why the unmarried
woman survives the matron. He did
tell. however, why the woman who
takes out an endowment policy lives
longer than the woman who has to die
to win.
"The endowment woman just gets up
her spirit and determines to live until
the policy natures" he said. The 9TH
er woman sighs and says: 'Oh. what's
the uSe?'

Will Harrisburg soon have another

the Modern Woodmen of America ?
Will the present mafmoth quarters

These two questions are being ask

In the developments that are to ensue,

The reasons leading up 70 the wish
of the East to remove the buildings
of the order from the Illinois city to

Detectives Believe
River Will Give Up
Body of Missing Boy
BY Associated Press

Philadelphia, March 25.-That the
body of 7-year-old Warren McCarrick.
who disappeared from his home here
ON March 12, eventually will be found
in either the Delaware or Schuylkill
rivers was the belief expressed to-day
by the majority of the detectives who
have been working on the case since
it was first reported.
Although the police dragged grap-
ping irons along the bottom Of the
Schuylkill yesterday without success,
the detectives are unaltered in the
opinion that the childs body is repos-
ing somewhere on the muddy bottom
of that stream, which lies only about
half a dozen blocks from his home.
They point to the appearance on the
surface of the Delaware last Sunday
of the body of Anna O'Donnell, who
had fallen into the river seven weeks
before, as evidence that graphing is
not always successful in recovering
bodies. The police had grappled for
hours in the vicinity of the wharf
from which she fell without result.
