was breathed by the coppers stationed
at the town hall police station today

stored to his parents. Little Abe was
found sleeping on a newsstand in the
wee hours of the morning by a police
man who took him to the station. Abe s
parents said they would call for him at
at. once. Shortly afterward policeman

FARMERS DELIVER
HIGH GRADE WHEAT
Growers Bring Over Ten
Thousand Bushels to Local
Elevator Despite Rains.
BY A. .. COBB.

Rains of the past week have pre-
vented farmers from delivering much
wheat to local mills. Wet weather
has made the grain thresh easier, &C
cording to farmers, but it is not so dry
when brought to the mills. Millers
say grain was never in better condition
than this year.
Ten thousand bushels of wheat have
been received at the Richmond Roller
Mills elevator, and at least twice that
much is expected to come in next week
if conditions are favorable for thresh-
ing and hauling.
Prominent farmers who have brought
in grain during the last few days are
Charles Unthank, Charles Crawford,
w. Erik, Toney Woke, and William
Pitts. The yields of these men have
averaged about twenty-five bushels to
the acre.
The crop of Charles Crawford, who
lives west of Richmond, averaged
twenty-six bushels an acre, and tested
60 pounds to the bushel.
A representative of the government
bureau of plant industry was in Rich
mond yesterday taking samples of diff
ferent deliveries of wheat to be sent
to the United States grain standardiza-
ton laboratory at Decatur, Ill. The
samples will be tested for weight,
moisture, content and food value.

BURNS SUES CARMAN
ON ISLANDER COUNT

NEW YORK, July 18.-Detective
William J. Burns announced today he
had instructed his lawyer to sue DR..
Edwin Chapman and Attorney George
M. Levi, counsel for Mrs. Florence Car
man, for $4,000 each for defamation
of character.
The action is an aftermath of attacks
made on the detective for the course
he has followed in investigating the
murder of Mrs. Louise Bailey in the
office of DIR. Carman at Freeport.
In voice broken by sobs that grew
tense and passionate at times, Mrs
Jennie Duryea, mother Of Mrs. Louise
Bailey, today bitterly denounced the
Nassau county grand jury because it
had returned only manslaughter i'll
dictment against Mrs. Carman.
Mrs. Duryea charged that Mrs. Car
man concealed the truth, and she de-
clared, Il would have been the first
to forgive Florence Carman if she
had frankly confessed the guilt which
! believe is in her heart"

MORE EFFICIENCY
IN FIRE COMPANY
AIM OF OFFICIALS
City Administration Practices
Economy to Purchase Mo-
tor Fire Ladder and Add to
Equipment.

Having provided a number Of neces-
sary improvements for the betterment
of the city the last six months the
board of public works is now giving its
ear to pleas of Fire Chief Miller for
modern equipment for the fire depart
ment.
What the fire chief wants to do Is to
replace with an auto truck the old
ladder truck, which Is in danger OF
collapsing every time 1t responds to an
alarm and which is not provided with
ladders which would be required In
fighting large blaze. The cost OF
these trucks vary between $4,000 and
$4,000, and the board realizes the diff
ficulty it will experience in setting
aside such large sum of money for
one improvement.
Possibly the truck can not be pur-
chased next year, but the board hopes
that by practicing strict economy in
the fire department next year, and
by the general reduction in city ex-
penses, which will be about $500 this
year, the kind of a motor automobile
truck which will answer all local
needs can be purchased in 1916. Or
course, If the board finds it possible
to do SO, the truck will be purchased
next year.
Richmond people are proud of their
fire department, one of the largest and
undoubtedly the most efficient of any
city the size of Richmond in the coun-

RUSSIANS WIN GREAT
BATTLE IN POLAND
Actual Details of Gigantic Struggle
Are Still Being With

BY Associated Press

London, Nov. %, 11.55 A. NJ
While the belief grows hourly that the
Russians in Northern Poland have
won the greatest battle of the war,
actual details of the operations in this
locality still are withheld, and the
whole incident is beginning to take
on the aspect of mystery.
From Petrograd comes a report
that the patience of the Russian peo-
pie awaiting official confirmation of
the reported victory, is approaching
the breaking point, and the same thing
may be said of the public here. Ger
man reports, without entering into
any such details as dates describes
successful operations in the region of
this great battle, but admit that the
German army has not succeeded in
bringing the struggle to close.
Military critics at Petrograd profess
to be astonished at the German as
sault on Lodz, maintaining that such a
movement made the defeat of the in
vaders inevitable.
Thirty miles to the east of the Suez
canal British forces are in touch with

ROBBERY OF
STEELTOV POST OFFICE
William Carlson Frightens Burglars
Away; $4,000 in Coin
and Stamps in Safe

A daring attempt to rob the Steel
ton post office was frustrated early
this morning by William Carlson, an
employe of the Harrisburg Light and
Power Company.
Two men, believed by the post office
authorities to have been expert cracks
men, attempted to enter the building
through a small cellar door in the
rear. At the time there was more than
$4,000 worth of money and stamps
in the office safe.
Carlson, who is employed at the
electric substation a short distance
from the post office was going to his
home in North Second street about
1.30 o'clock this morning when he no
ticed the glow from light in the area
way in the rear of the post office.
Walking over to the post office he
started an investigation. AS he APP
preached the cellar way in the rear
two men sprang up and dashed up
Second street Carlson followed but
lost sight of the yeggmen near Second
and Adams street
Returning to the post office he eN-
amined the cellar door, which is about
eight feet below the surface of the
street and hidden from view of any
pedestrian. Laying on the floor of tht
cellar way he found a small stee
drill. The door bore the marks of the
yeggmen's efforts to force the door.

HARRISBURG IS To
De WIRELESS CITY,
Poles and Wires Come Down;
Much Accomplished; Much
More to Do

Great progress has been made dur
ing the past year or more in the re-
moval of overhead electrical wires from
the streets of Harrisburg. Practically
every one of the more important pub
lie service corporations has been work
ing toward that end, with the result
that Market street and many other OF
the thoroughfares in the central bust
ness district have been freed from the
dangerous and unsightly encum-
brances of poles and current-laden
masses of wire cobwebs that used 10
obscure the sky and threaten the lives
of pedestrians in "tormy weather.
Thousands of dollars have been eX-
pended in this way and almost all OF
the corporations controlling wire lines
are planning the extension, as rapidly
as their finances will permit, of the
network of underground conduits that
now radiates in every direction from
the heart of the city.
Strange to say, the city government
itlsef while very properly insisting
that corporation controlled poles come
down, has been slow in setting an cX-
ample in this direction. The city can
at comparatively small cost remove
fifty or sixty poles in the heart of the
city by providing funds for the string

BILLS
FOR COD|FY|NG LAW
Chief Moore Getting Things Ready
For the Next Legislature
to Start Big Task

Bills embodying the changes TO the
laws of the State to erect codes on
the subjects of taxation, boroughs and
corporations are being prepared at the
State Legislative Reference Bureau by
James n. Moore and James McKirdy,
who have had charge of the compila-
ton of the codes. The book on cor
p-rations is the last to be issued and it
is unlikely that anything more will be
put out until after the next Legisla-
ture finishes its work.
THE codes issued are only live law"
said James n. Moore, chief of the bu-
reau, in discussing them. THE statutes
of the State were searched and only
such acts as are in full force are
included. but there is no new law in
troduced Nothing which is not on
the books has been included. 1t is
simply a compilation with view to
simplifying the laws, which the Legis-
lature will be asked to enact"
The corporation law code is the first
to be issued since the passage of the
general corporation law of 1874, which
followed the constitutions ratification.
Numerous requests for assistance of
the bureau in drafting bills for the
next general assembly are being made
by men interested In legislation and
the inquiries made indicate that there
will be many more. Many of the in
quiries made relate to municipal laws
and foreshadow some lively discus
sions.

TECH CENTRAL GAME
NETS SCHOOLS $4,000
Beck Is the Man Who Won the
Game For Tech and Ended the
Defeat of Ten Years
BLUE AND GRAY BIG SURPRISE
Central Lads Played Better Than
They Knew How and Nearly
Won Victory

More than 1000 people saw the Cen
trail high team lose to Tech high on
the island yesterday afternoon, score
of 10 to II. About $4,000 were re-
ceived by the gates and each school
will receive more than $1,000 of this
amount, the remainder TO go for ex-
penses.
Tech was picked a sure winner by
everyone and the fact that Central
scored two touchdowns against the
wonderful Maroon and Gray machine
is considered remarkable.
For Tech there was one man and
one man alone who shone-Beck. The
ground he gained for his team almost
equalled that gained by thu Whole
Central team. Both lines weA q weak,
most of the gains being made through
them, but Central showed up best on
open field work.
Displaying an ontirely different
game than they had been playing, the
Central boys went into the game with
the old spirit of the Blue and Gray
of years gone by and the result was
that less than one minute after play
