State Beekeepers 10
Ask State For $4,000
For Apiary Inspection

State Beekeepers at their conven-
tion here to-day adopted resolutions
recommending that the Legislature
make an appropriation sufficient to
permit of an immediate inspection of
all apiares in the State. 1t was point
ed out that in view of the rapid de-
velopment of the bee keeping indus
try that it would be better to spend
$4,000 in two years than to continue
inspection over ten years. Inspection,
it was recited, had shown beneficial re-
suits in every colony visited and had
resulted in an increased output of
honey. Resolutions were also adopt
ed for legislation prohibiting spraying
of fruit trees while in bloom because
of injurious effects upon bees and on
the fruits.
George NJ. Specie. Philadelphia; Y.
Heke, York. and A. n. Coons, Couders-
port, addressed the convention on bee
keeping, Mr.. Hoke presenting photo
graphs to show how diseases of bees
could be detected. Il. A. Weimer, Leb-
anon, and DR.. f. f. Phillips, Wash
ington, were speakers later in the
day.

Along the eastern Prussian border,
in Northern Poland, some of the fierc-
est engagements of the campaign in
the east are taking place. An official
statement from Petrograd reports that
In these battles villages changed hands
seevral times. Three German attacks
on PrzasnysZ, where the conbict is
sharpest, are said to have been re-
pulsed. A Berlin dispatch says it is
reported there that further obstacles
have arisen" to prevent an invasion of
Russia. The correspondent of Paris
newspaper estimates that the Germans
lost $4,000 men in the fighting in the
north.
In the Carpathians the series of de-
tached battles continue with no sign of
a conclusion. The Russian war office
announced that Austrian attacks at
several points were repulsed. with
enormous losses for the attacking
forces 1t is claimed that during the
last month more than As, 900 Austrians
have been captured.
1t was announced officially in Ber-
lin that a British transport had been
sunk off Beachy Head, England The
location and time given make 1t prob
able however that the Berlin an
nouncement has reference to the sink
ing of a British naval collier, which
was made known last night.
A report from French sources Is that
the Rumanian army will take the field
in April The Rumanian minister ia
London according to this unconfirme ed
statement, will shortly present to the
British government q communication
to this effect.

ARREST THREE FOR
GETTING BOY DRUNK
Lad Taken From Gutter Uncon-
sciOus Accuses Employer and
Colored Couple

Charged with furnishing liquor to
Joseph Cleckner, a 15-year-old boy,
three people were arrested to-day.
Nelson Graybill, 626 Calder street,
a former policeman, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Edwin Troyman, of No. 3 Lochiel Row.
were the three arrested.
The Cleckner boy was found last
night, in a gutter. at Calder and Wal
lace streets, dead drunk.
Graybill who is a huckster, was To-
Gated at 927 Grand street, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Troyman were arrested at their
home, No. 3 Lochiel row, by Patrol
men Buch, Schelhas and Chauffeur
Mehring. After Cleckner was sobered
up at the Harrisburg Hospital he told
his story to the police.
CleCkner said he was working FOR
Gray bill Yesterday, and they stopped
at the Troyman house. The eX-patrol-
man, according TO the boy, gave Troy
man money for a gallon of whisky,
and the four drank freely. Cleckner
started to take the huckster's team
home, but was obliged to turn it over
to a colored man. When he tried TO
get home, the boy rolled into the
gutter.
Graybill claims the boy stole the
whisky while Mr.. and Mrs. Troy
man were at his wagon looking over
some produce. The colored folks say
this story is incorrect and claim that
Graybill bought the liquor and insist
ed that the boy drink. The case will
be heard before Mayor John X. Royal
tomorrow afternoon. Graybill fur
nished bail for his appearance.

The proposed organization was
widely and favorably commented upon
last night following announcement of
the determination of number of
Harrisburg's businessmen to provide
the latest thing in city transportation
for Pennsylvania capital.
The new company, it is understood
will be capitalized for $4,000.
The question of just where the main
garage will be established has not
yet been definitely settled and while
1T is generally conceded that the ter
minal station or waiting rooms, should
be located in Market Square, 1t is quite
likely that a big garage somewhere on
the outskirts of the city will be erected
to house the motorbuses

POSSES ENTRENCHED
NEAR INDIAN CAMP
Mounted Police Now Enroute to
Reinforce Marshal and
His Men

Durango, Colo, Feb. 24.-Tse-Ne-
Cat, the Piute Indian. whose efforts to
elude arrest by federal officers on the
charge of murder have since Sunday
resulted in the death of five Indians
ane one member of United States Mar
shal Nebeker's posse, was still at large
to-day, according to reports received
here from Bluff, Utah. Marshal Ne
beker and the main body of his force
were reported entrenched in the rocks
west of that place and the fugitive In
dian, with his father, "Old Polk" and
their band of renegate Piutes who
have aided in their fight with the gov
ernment officers, were believed to be
somewhere in the vicinity of Butler
Wash, about eight miles west of
Bluff.
Mounted Indian police from Ship
rock are reported enroute to Bluff to
reinforce the whites.
Another casualty was added to the
list last night when Havane, son-in-
law of "Old Polk" and one of the six
Indians captured Sunday, slipped off
his manacles and leaped through a
window of the temporary prison at
Bluff in an effort to escape. Two
members of the posse detailed to
guard the prisoners opened fire and
the Indian fell with two bullets in his
body. Havane is said to be in a Sc
rious condition.

COMPENSATION IS To
BE SUPPLEMENTED
Additional Bill Planned to Exempt
Farm and Domestic Labor From
Its Provisions
SYSTEM WHOLLY ELECTIVE
Voluntary Contract and No Limita-
ton of the Amount That Could
Be Recovered
SYSTEM WHOLLY ELECTIVE

When the workmens compensation
bill prepared by the State administra-
islature it will make an elective law
covering all classes of employees, but
it is the intention to accompany it by
a supplemental act exempting farm la
borers and domestic servants from the
operation of the law. 1t is believed
that in this manner the objections to
the act on the ground that such labor
cannot be excluded under the consti-
tuition can be overcome.
In the event of an attack being
made upon the latter act and it should
be struck down the original act would
stand. 1t appears to be pretty gener-
ally agreed in all of the conferences
and correspondence on the bill, which
have exceeded that on the public SER
vice act and the compensation bill in
the last administration that such
classes should be excluded and at
none of the public hearings held was
there any demand that they should be
covered. Attorney General Francis
Skunk Brown, who has been handling
the bill, believes that this supple
mental act will overcome any difficult
ties and preserve the law.
The text of the general act, which
will take in everyone on an elective
basis and provide for the insuring of
employers, will be made public in Il
few days. The final proofs were read
to-day and it will be sent out at the
end of the week.
One of the points much discussed is
the constitutional provision prohibit
ing the general assembly from limit
ing the amount that may be recovered.
The attorney general is understood to
hold that the act will provide for a
purely voluntary contract and there
fore would not bring the act into con-
hict with the constitution.

To UNLOAD COAL At
VERBEKE ST. LANDING
Commissioner Bowman to Investi-
gate Its Possibilities Along With
Paxton Street Wharf
COUNCIL WILL ACT SOON
Purpose Is to Concentrate Traffic
in Such Way as to Eliminate
Gap in Wall
COUNCIL WILL ACT SOON

Investigation of the Nerbeke street
river landing will be made soon by
City Commissioner II. +. Bowman and
City Engineer Nj. b. Cowden with
a. view to determining just what can
be done by the city toward fitting it
up for the accommodation of a por-
tion of the river coal traffic that is
now handled at Market street.
BY passing the ordinance providing
for coal wharf on the island for the
Harrisburg Light and Power Com
pany the elimination of at least 80 per
cent. of the traffic from the Market
street landing is made possible.
The logical points for the handling
of the remainder are Paxton and Ver-
beke streets, in the opinion of Mr..
Bowman. His proposed investigation
of Nerbeke street will be made for the
purpose of ascertaining what minor
improvements could be made to in
crease the efficiency of these loading
places for the accommodation of other
firms.
I'VE will try to get up there in time
to prepare data to submit to Council
by next Tuesdays meeting" said Mr..
Bowman to-day but If the time is too
limited then / shall introduce the nee
essary legislation in Council the fol-
lowing Tuesday.
rs your purpose in offering legis-
lation intended to concentrate the coal
traffic at Verbeke and Paxton streets,
for the ultimate elimination of the
Market street dock as a landing place
and provide the way for the closing of
the gap in the wall there"
Surely, that is the ultimate pur-
pose said the commissioner of public
safety.
The Board of Public Works will
meet tomorrow or Friday, it is under
stood when the opinion of City So
licitor ID. S. Setz will likely be asked
as to the legality of closing the wall
opening.
BY the terms of the agreement
adopted between the city and Sucker
Brothers Construction Company, the
wall contractors, opportunity for les
sening the width of the gap is pro-
maded by the construction of five sec
IONS of steps. This will make the gap
only about eighty feet wide.

Paris, Feb. "a, COS A. M.-At least
$4,000 men were lost by the Germans
in their attack on the Russian posi-
tions on the Rawka river and in the
regions of Boriimow and Gumbinnen,
according to Ludovio Naudeau, the
Journals correspondent who witnessed
the operations. He considers the gen.
eral situation highly favorable to the
Russians and says:
THE Germans are being gradually
but implacably worn down. Whether
they attack or merely defend them
selves their armies melt away from
day to day. Their feverish activity and
their frightful sacrifice OF lives show
they realize they are fighting against
