HIGHWAY CHEF TAKES OATH
Cunningham Says He Does Not Plan to
Make Any Immediate Changes

1t was bit of sentiment that i'm
pelled Robert J. Cunningham, the new
State Highway Commissioner, to prefer
to have the oath of office administered
to him to-day by Secretary of the Com
monwealth Woods The men served in
the Senate at the same time and are
close friends.
When Mr.. Cunningham was here last
week Secretary Woods was absent at
his home in Westmoreland county, so
MIR. Cunningham did not take the oath.
This morning he went to the State
Department, where he was "sworn in'
by Secretary Woods and filed his bond.
Commissioner Cunningham says he
eontemplates no radical changes in his
department at present, as he prefers
to await until he is better acquainted
before considering any changes of i'm
portanee. He had short conference
with Governor Brumbaugh after taking
the oath of Office, and then took up
the active duties of his department.
The new Commissioner met a num-
ber of old friends who were with him
in the Senate of 1907 and a number
of departmental attaches and others.

MRS. STORY HEADS D. A. R.
Reelected President General by 234
Majority Over Mrs. George T.
Guernsey in. Vote of 1,158
By Associated Press.

Washington. April 22.-With the
long drawn out fight for control of the
national organization of the Daughters
of the American Revolution over and
with the faction headed by Mrs. Will
liam Cumming Story, of New York, to
direct its destinies for another two
years, delegates to the annual congress
again settled down to-day to cleaning
up the routine business before them.
The results of yesterdays balloting,
announced early to-day, showed that
Mrs. Story had been reelected presi.
dent general and her complete ticket
were elected to office by substantial
majorities. Mrs. Story received 695
of possible 1,156 votes, 461 going to
Mrs. George Thatcher Guernsey, of
Kansas, the opposing candidate.
When the result was announced the
congress rose en- masse and cheered the
successful candidate, in which the sup
porters of Mrs. Guernsey joined. Mrs.
Guernsey was one of the first to offer
congratulations to Mrs. Story.
In an address following the an
nouncement of the outcome of the elec-
tion Mrs. Story pledged herself to work
for the good of the organization, urged
the cooperation of the delegates and
expressed the hope that past differences
would be forgotten.
To-day's session was devoted to the
presentation of reports from commit
tees and by State regents.

put to rout, with large losses.
In France and Belgium yesterday
there was o continuance of the minor
operations such as have been under
way Of late. Small successes are
Claimed by the Germans but the French
communication gives no new details.
A Geneva dispatch says Austrian
and German subjects in Switzerland
have been recalled to their respective
countries. It Is also reported that the
italian government has requisitioned all
italian vessels engaged in trade with
the United States.
The deadlock in the negotiations be-
tween Austria and Italy has been
broken, and hopes of a settlement of
the questions at issue without resort to
arms have been revived in Rome. 1t
is not known by persons other than
those closely concerned what change
has taken place to relieve the apparent
ly hopeless situation, but Rome assumes
that either Austria or Italy has made
some concession. Italy has been repre-
sented previous as demanding in their
entirety the Trent and Istria districts
as well as the Dalmatian islands in the
AEGEAN sea where Austria was believed
to be willing to yield only compare
lively small part of this territory.
A strong Turkish army is preparing
to offer resistance to the land forces
with which the allies expect to attack
the Dardanelles Notifications from the
air. An Athens dispatch says the
Turks have entrenched themselves
strongly along the coast of the gulf of
Saros. 1t is in this vicinity, according
to unofficial advices yesterday, that
10000 British and French troops have
landed. Turkish encampments along
the coast are being bombarded by war
ships of the allies.
The determination of the German Of
fensive and the high cost to the allies
of an advance are shown again in the
fighting near Ypres, as when the Brit
tsh took Ueuve Chapelle last month.
Since the capture of Hill No. 80 by
the British the Germans have made one
attack after another in the attempt to
regain this important strategic posi-
tion. The losses on both sides are be-
lieved to run into the thousands. So
far as has been disclosed, the British
have succeeded in retaining the hill.
Petrograd reports that during the
last fortnight there has been artillery
fighting in Northern Russian Poland,
near the East Prussian frontier. The
Russians are said to have won the ad-
vantage. The check to the Russian ad-
vance in the Carpathians, ascribed in
Berlin to Russian defeats, is said in
Petrograd to be due to spring foods.

In wildwood Park

Harrisburg municipal forest will be
started tomorrow afternoon when
1000 school children will participate
in the planting of 1000 red pine trees
in Wildwood Park in celebration of
Arbor Day. Holes for the trees were
made by workmen to-day in readiness
for the planting tomorrow.
The Civic Club of Harrisburg is
cooperating with the park department
in the success of this celebration.
Many members will be present at the
exercises tomorrow. Miss Mira Lloyd
Dock will speak. City Supervisor J. j..
Brehm and City Forester Harry j..
Mueller will be in charge of the tree
planting.
Only the Camp Curtin school chill
dren will participate because of the
inability to carry the children of the
other schools to the park.

PLAN TO INCREASE TAX
on ANTHRACITE ABANDONED

Announcement that the plan to in
crease the tonrage~tax on coal from
two and one-haif per cent. ad valorem
to three and one-half per cent. had
been abandoned was made last night
by Chairman @. j. Roney, of the Ways
and Means Committee of the House,
when anthracite coal operators pro.
tested against any increase in the tax.
Major Everett Warren, Scranton, led
in the attack on the tax generally, and
in the course of his argument declared
that the anthracite coal operators had
not increased the cost of coal beyond
the actual amount of the tax. The
average increase was six cents. He
prophesied, too, that if the workmen s
compensation law is enacted, as pro-
posed, the coal companies will add
from six to ten cents a ton to cover
that expense.

fire DESTROYS 5 Stables
Homes Saved By Changing Wind and
Blocking Ice House-Neighbor-
ing Town Gives Assistance

Especial to the Star-Independent)
New Germantown, April IA fire
which destroyed five stables, several
out buildings as well as much smaller
property, resulted in heavy loss here
Tuesday afternoon. The fire started in
the stable owned by John Fry, but by
the time bucket brigade was formed
the flames had already reached the ad-
joining buildings.
At the cry of fire and the ringing
of the church bells large force re-
sponded, but already much time was
lost, as the majority of male residents
were at work on the State road some
distance away. Excellent work on the
part of the town residents, together
with the changing of the wind and
the blocking of the flames by a number
of ice houses prevented the fire reach
ing any of the homes.
Assistance was also given to the
town people by a number of men from
Blain, who came to the scene in six
automobiles. The stables burned were
owned by Elias Snyder, John Fry,
Mrs. O'DOnnell, Verne Smith and Jo-
seph Johns.
