BAUGH IS LOGICAL J CHOICE TO SUCC gHlD
 JUDGE KAVANAUGH
Southern Association Needs Strong Hand Guide Through Present Conditions-Personal Ambition Should Be Cast Aside and Directors Should Look
 for Efficient Successor
Fly CHARLES W. GREER

forced to cut it's salary limit, and d strong hand is needed to pilot 1t through the mines of Federal bred discontent.
 
 The directors of the Southern league in choosing successor to Judge Kavan- naugh should lay aside personal am- bition or prejudice and seek the man most qualified for the position. Ef- fciency and experience should be the watchword of these directors for eff f1ciency is absolutely necessary if the Southern league is to maintain it's pres ent high standing and business solid arity.
 In the opinion of the sporting editor of The Age Herald Robert H. Baugh, president of the Birmingham associa- ton, is the logical choice for the place. MT. Baugh has made a wonderful suc- cess of the local club. Largely through his efforts Birmingham has been made tho leading baseball city in the south today. MT. Baugh is the dean of South ern league club presidents. He has long been associated with the working of the Southern league. He Is familiar with conditions he has enjoyed the confidence of the late president, and he knows just what problems are confronting the as sociation today.
 Mir. Baugh. moreover. is q man of recognized business and executive abil- ity. He Is not u candidate for the league presidency. Acceptance of the place if proffered would mean a gigantic sac rifice of business. At present Mir. Baugh states he would not accept the position if offered. However. it Is thought by those intimate with the local magnate that sufficient pressure can be brought to bear to insure his acceptance: and if he is named to fill the place so wor- thily held by Judge Kavanaugh, direc- tors and well-wishers of the Southern league may face it's future with con- fdent optomism in knowing that it is protected from the breakers by the sound business intergity and justice of Robert H. Baugh.

IS BEFORE COUNCIL
VIII Hold Special Session on
Charges Preferred by Council
man Wagenbach

Steelton's borough council will hold
a special session this evening to thresh
out the charges preferred against
Patrolman Clinton Jones by Council
man Fred Wagenbach.
1t was just a week ago this evening
that the Third Ward Councilman

presenting that body with two affi-
davits signed by Pennsylvania Steel

charged Officer Jones win drunken
ness on the night of August s.
The presentation OF these new
charges against Patrolman Jones, VINO
has been much in the puOnc eye re-
Gently through charges preferred by
Burgess Fred Wigfield, wao once
recommended his dismissal and once
suspended him, started a bitter fight
upon the floor of council. During the
debate Councilman Wagenbach charg-
ed the police committee with playing
politics in retaining the officer. Chair
man Thomas Nelly, of the police
committee. subsequently charged Mr..
Wagenbach with playing politics in
trying to dismiss Jones. The debate
was ended by deciding to hold another

in hearing the oral testimony or the
officers who made the affidavits and a
host of Patrolman Jones friends, was
held last Tuesday evening. Follow
ing the investigation the poHce COM
mittee reserved its report. This re-
port will be made to councM Jnis eve
ming.

PULLMAN CAR MEN
SHOW HEALTH RECORD
Precautions Taken by P. R. R. to
Keep Train Food Pure;
Sanitary Rooms

The efforts of the Pennsylvania
Railroad to insure that no person with
even a tendency toward COM
municable disease shall have anything
to do with serving food on its trains
and IN its restaurants have had re-
suits.
quarterly report Just made to the
company of an examination made of
all the Pullman employees who serve
food in buffet broiler Pullman cars on
the Pennsylvania Railroad, shows that
not single one of the 65 employees
was found to have any trace of COM
municable disease.
The pennsylvania Railroad, in
January, 1913. established a rule to
have a physical examination made of
all dining car and restaurant en-
ployes every three months. Later IT
was ordered that these examinations
should be held every 80 days. Now the
rule is to examine every one of these
employees at least every 80 days.
In order to surround the service
with every possible precaution, there
are provided at "lay-over points" for
dining car stewards, walters and cooks
special lodgings with clean linens,
clean beds, and every sanitary protec-
tion. These rooms receive regular,
careful and minute inspection.

|MAY ASK STATE AID
IN QUELL|NC CRIME
Highway Robbery, Free-FOr-All
Fight and Many Minor Crimes
Over Sunday

A double higway robbery another
visit from some prowler believed to
be the mysterious "hatchet fiend" who
has brutally attacked seven women in
a few months, a free-for-all street af-
fray and a number of minor crimes
all within As hours-has turned Steel
toms crime wave into a reign of ter
ror.
Women have become so nervous
that they will not sleep with open bad
room windows, men when their busi-
ness takes them through some sec
tions of the borough, are going armed
and there is much talk of forming
vigilance committees and of asking
for State Police.
The crime wave which began May
80 when some mysterious midnight
visitor entered the home of German
woman in Good street and beat her
senseless, reached its height Saturday
night when two unidentified negroes
held up and brutally beat William
Gardner, son of Squire T. V. Gardner,
and William Reagan, as they accom-
panied two girls through Cameron s
parkway. Both Gardner and Reagan
are athletes and fought against their
assailants. Gardner received a broken
nose and severe decorations Of the head
and face from blackjack blows. Rea-
gan suffered deep cash on the head.
Inc nlgnWaymen were frightened
away by screams from the girls and
an approaching automobile.
Late Saturday night some prowler
was heard climbing onto balcony at
the home of Alfred Sherbooker, Chris
tan street, just about block from the
spot where the 'tchet fend" heat
Mrs. John Patterson. Members of the
Sherbocker family when they went
to investigate saw some man drop
from the balcony and dash down an
alley in the rear of the home.
The street affray occurred in Front
street below Franklin. Oscar James,
a Steelton man, figured in a Harris
burg cutting affray.
Residents of the West Side and the
Mohn street district are so terrorized
that many of them are sleeping on
their porches so that they may better
hear the approach of any prowlers.
Foreign residents of Mohn street
and others living just east OF the bor-
ough held a mass meeting in the Ger
man Quartet Club Hall, Front and
Washington streets, yesterday after
noon. only those men who hold nat
uralization papers were admitted to
the meeting.
Various means for checking the
crime wave which has residents of this
section of the borough living in night
ly terror, were discussed.

stolen from Juarez last week and
located later at Deming, n. NJ, and re-
turned to Ell Paso through the efforts

said he had been given $4,000 by the
Villa government, which he failed to
eXpend, for arms and ammunition.

Tests Almost Perfect;
No Fatal Accidents

In the first six months of 1915 the
Pennsylvania Railroad made more
than 100000 efficiency tests of all
kinds and 99.9 per cent. of them show
ed perfect observance of all rules and
regulations on the part OF 1876, ass en-
ployes.
No passenger was killed in a train
accident in the period covered by these
tests-as a matter of fact, no. pas
senSer has been killed in train ac-
cident on the Pennsylvania Railroad
since 1912.
Twenty eight and one4half per cent.
less employees were killed in the first
six months of 1915 than in the cor
responding period of last year. This
was not due to a heavy decrease in
train mileage, as passenger train miles
were only 6 per cent. and freight train
miles per cent. less than in 1914. In
1914, 119 employees were killed in the
first six months from various causes
while IS employees were killed in 1915.
