NEW WARNING SIGNS
ON P. R. R. LINES
Circulars For Education of En-
ployes; Urge Long Island
4 Plan For All Divisions

Circulars have been sent out along
the Pennsylvania railroad system di-
recting the attention of all employees
to the need of care at highway cross
ings.
The circular includes illustrations
and tell how the Long Island branch
of the system is trying, to diminish
motor car accidents by signs and
warnings, also by throwing across
such highway crossings huge poles
that are painted in black and white
stripes in barber-pole fashion.
1t is stated that motor car drivers
are often so negligent in observing
caution that accidents involving death
or manning are the result,
The Pennsylvania has undertaken
to do all that it can do to avert such
accidents by placing large signs, illu-
minated at night. at all crossings on
the Long Island branch, asking that
auto car drivers help it to reduce the
number of such accidents, in which
241 persons were killed during the
first six months of this years as against
40 in corresponding time last year in
the State of New York, as compared
with 1873 in the first six months of
1914. 1t is stated that similar effort
to reduce accidents at highways cross
lngs will be undertaken shortly over
all the liens of the system.

ANOTHER SHOOTING
FRAY ST|RS TOWN
Woman Receives Bullet in Foot !;
Foreigner and Negro
Engage in Duel

Steelton police authorities to-day are
Investigating a mysterious shooting af-
fair which occurred in the Mohn street
district close to the scene of a number
OF recent brutal attacks upon sleeping
foreign women.
Late Saturday night foreign wom-
an, whose name ,the police did not
take, heard a noise outside her house.
When she went to Investigate, accord
ing to the police, she was met by sew
eral revolver shots. One of the balls
struck her in the left foot. infiicting a
painful but not serious wound
Chief of Police Longnaker and Con-
stable John Glib are investigating
The woman was shot Just a few doors
from where 16-year- Mary Vein
was attacked last Monday evening.
Knife Duel
The police are also looking for a
foreigner and a negro who started an
impromptu duel at Front and Walnut
streets Saturday evening. The for
etgner, according to witnesses, was
standing on the corner waiting when
a negro approached him, drew a razor
and began to carve away at the man.
Flashing out long knife, the for
elgner returned the attack. A call was
sent for Sergeant Masters, at the police
station, Just few hundred feet away.
When the officer started down the
street both men fled into the steel
works. No arrests were made until
noon to-day in either case.

intention of the United States to assert
it's rights on the high seas in accord
ance with international law. There
probably will be little or no discussion
on the principles already treated at
length in previous notes.
Prompt Action Forecasted
Prompt action in dispatching the
note was generally forecasted. In off,
cial quarters 1t was agreed the COM
munication would be on it's way to
Berlin by Saturday.
Although it is not certain whether
reference will be made to the attack
on the Cunard liner Orduna, 1t is
known that that incident has swept
aside previous suggestions that the
next communication would take into
consideration that German su ubmarine
commanders in actual practice were
conforming to the rules of inter-
national law. Irrespective of, the de-
tails of the Orduna attack, the fact
that vessel carrying Americans bound
to the United States and transporting
no contraband was attacked without
warning impressed high officials that
German submarine warfare still held
forth manv hazards for Americans
travelling the high seas "on lawful
errands"
The President Is said to have be-
come convinced that the next COM
munication to Germany must point out
in much more emphatic terms than
have heretofore been used the earnest
intention of the American government
not to surrender any of its rights.

THAW REFUSES TO
TALK DURING STOP
CONTINUED From First Page.l

Thaw gave out one statement soon
after leaving Philadelphia. 1t was q
denial of a remark made by him
sometime ago relative to insane peo-
pie. A New York newspaper credited
Thaw with saying, "A person once In
sane is always insane" This was given
an emphatical denial by Thaw, who ex-
planned what caused the remark, and
its meaning. The statement was filed
at Lancaster when the train stopped
in that city.
From Detective Dean, it was learn
ed that Thaw will rest up at Pitts
burgh. With his mother he will go
into the mountains for a short stay.
On his return he will prepare for an
automobile trip to the Pacific Coast.
This trip may last three months.
When Thaw comes back from the
coast he expects to go into business at
Pittsburgh.
Won't Talk On Divorce
Asked what Thaw's intentions were
regarding a divorce from Evelyn
Nesbit Thaw, a reporter for the Tele-
graph was informed that Thaw had
made no plans. 1T will be taken up
at Pittsburgh on his return from the
west" was the statement given out.
''He has not changed his opinion along
this score" spoke up one of the news
papermen.
Thaw was not we'll received. The
car in which he occupied stateroom
was filled with passengers, all but four
being women. outside of the Thaw
party. None of the passengers showed
any special interest in Thaw's pres
ence At Lancaster a big crowd was
on the outside of the car and waved
their hands at Thaw. He answered
the salute and then moved his seat
away from the window.
Few Greet Him
At the Pennsylvania Railroad station
Thaw was greeted by a few attaches,
and passengers, who boarded the train
for the west in this city.
Pittsburgh Express on which Thaw
is travelling is due at Pittsburgh at
6:15 this evening. Thaw may get off
at one of the stations east of Pitts
burgh in order to avoid the big
crowd. He selected Pittsburgh Ex-
press this morning, because, it was
slow and people would not be look
ing for him on a train of this kind.

every effort to get Mrs. Rhoads to

As Mrs. Rhoads did not understand
the paper she did not affix her sigma

which is written the history of the
family. The Bible also contains the
signature of the grandfather when he
was young man.

This man, who claimed to be a rel

Mrs. Rhoads did not ask in what

stated that they were near Rookie

I do not believe that the attack

Big Clock to Denote
Progress of "Globe" Sale
Unique Feature Employed Which At
tracts Attention of Many
PeODle Daily

People Daily
On the front of The Globe building,
1922 and 324 Market street, hangs a
mammoth clock face that is attracting
much interest on the part of passers-
by. 1t Is one of the features of the
big One Thousand Suit Campaign that
is now being conducted by The Globe,
but differs somewhat from the usual
clock face in that instead of the hours
being designated about the circumfer-
ence figures denote the progress of the
big merchandising event. -,
The sale in connection with which
this feature is being used is distinct
I've one. On July 10 The Globe an
nounced that 1t would conduct during
July and August its half-yearly clear
ance of mems and boys clothing on
cooperative basis. The plan Is to sell
before the close of the sale on August
2S one thousand mems and boys suits,
in the event of which each participant
in the sale will receive a refund OF
8 per cent. on his suit purchase.
The clock face described above
designates from time to time how the
sale is progressing. Although only one
week has passed, the hand on the big
clock to-day indicates that up until
Saturday night 21S suits had been sold
far exceeding the required weekly
average necessary to reach the goal
for which the big store is striving.
Full particulars regarding this event,
which the owner of the store, Ben
Strouse, is endeavoring to make the
most important in the history of the
store. will be found from time to time
