but things are different here, and we
must have rules to suit local con-
ditions. That is what l will try to have
ind that Harrisburg people need a
little traffic education. Changes will
have to come gradually, and for this
reason intend to go slowly.
The first thing we will do will be to
educate the traffic officers. AS there
will be some ordinances to look after,
and rules to arrange, it will require at
least month before the new regu-
lations will be in working order"
Some rules suggested by Mayor
Meals are:
Prohibiting the use of muffler cut
out on automobiles.
Prohibiting excessive emission of
smoke and gases.
Prohibiting this unnecessary use of
warning signals.
Providing that all vehicles shall
carry lights from one hour after sunset
to one hour before sunrise.
Continuation of the near-side stop
regulations for street cars.
Additional safety zones for street
car patrons where it is possible to
have them.
Continuation of the protection for
these safety zones. with heavy fines
for vehicles encroaching upon the
rights of travellers.
all NeJliCleS 10 come 10 q
full stop in the rear of street cars
stopping to take on or discharge pas
sengers.
Requiring pedestrians to cross
streets at regular crossings and study
closely the orders of traffic officers
move when told to, and stop promptly
when ordered to do so.
Recurring the locking of motor
vehicles left standing on streets more
than five minutes
Requiring license tags to be dis
played at all times and to be lighted
at night. Auto owners carrying tags
that cannot be read will be stopped
and ordered to clean tags at once.
Requiring all auto drivers having
accidents to report same as soon after
the accident as possible; to stop at
once and ascertain extent of injuries
and if 1t is a case for the hospital
take the injured person there at once.
Mayor Meals said it is his intention
to impose light fine for the first
offense. to increase the fine to $25 for
the second offense and to double it
for each subsequent offense.

FURTHER RELIEF
FOR LOCAL YARDS
Freight Office of P. r. r. Lift
Embargo; Send Letter
to Shippers

Orders issued late yesterday after
freight embargoes will bring relief in
the local yards. A railroad bulletin of
to-day says:
''In spite of the large accumulation Of
freight for export through the port of
New York, the Pennsylvania Railroad
has removed practically all of the re-
strictions 1t has had in effect on ac-
cepting for shipment freight OF this
kind. The restrictions which still re-
main are as follows:
Export freight-Flour, cotton and
lumber on through bills of ladinG.
Domestic freight-Hay, straw and
empty barrels.
at was with much hesitation that
the railroad decided practically to re-
move all embargoeS, as the restrictions
are termed, and 1t is certain that 1t
will be necessary to impose the re-
strictions again If shippers fail to
cooperate with the railroad by offer
ing for transportation only such
freight as can be disposed of promptly
upon its arrival in the New York dis
trict
Letter to Shippers
Some indication of just what the
situation is at the present time is given
by this letter. which was sent to-day
to the operating officers of the COM
pany at different points on the rail-
road:
will you be kind enough to make
known to shippers, through channels
at your command, that they should
understand that this modification was
issued in spite of the fact that there
has not been any very material reduc-
ton in the number of cars we are car
rying for export, and that, in fact,
there still remains a considerable ac-
cumuiation of cars loaded export
freight for New York, and therefore,
in order to avoid again placing this
embargo at an early date, shippers
will serve their own interests by offer
ing only such shipments for New York
export as can be very promptly dis
posed of upon arrival at the sea-
boa rd p"

KNOX IS DOOMED
FOR PRESIDENT

States as available presidential tim
ber.
The Philadelphia Ledger to-day says
In first page article on the subject:
Progressives and Republicans, both
here and in the congressional delega-
ton at Washington, not only expressed
approval of Mr.. Knox as a senatorial
candidate. but went further, and re-
garded him as definitely in the field for
the presidential nomination which
would reunite the old and the third
party. The feeling among political
leaders was that if Pennsylvania is to
win the Presidency Mr.. Knox is the
logical candidate. They pointed out
that Pennsylvania had really blazed
the way in showing how the followers
of Colonel Roosevelt and the regular
Republicans could solidly cooperate
against the Democrats"
The Inquirer in a Pittsburgh dis
patch says: The announcement from
Pittsburgh by Philander G. Knox of
his candidacy for the United States
Senate to succeed Senator George t.
Oliver, who will retire at the expira-
tion of his term, brought forth assur-
ances of support from many members
of the Republican delegation in the
House of Representatives from the
Keystone State. Every Pennsylvania
Republican now in Washington pledg-
ed his support to Mr.. Knox for the
Senate and all predicted his nomina-
ton in the May primaries at the hands
of the Republican voters. and his cleo
ton in November. Aside from Mr..
KnoX's candidacy for the Senate, the
suggestion that he be Pennsylvania s
candidate for the Republican Presl-
Dental nomination created the great
est interest. Every Pennsylvanian
spoken to commended the suggestion
of sending from Pennsylvania to the
Republican national convention in
Chicago of a solid Knox delegation. 1t
was the concensus OF opinion that with
Pennsylvania back of him, Mr.. Knox
would make an unusually strong can
didate and would give Pennsylvania
its first real opportunity of furnishing
the next President of the United
States. If the views of the Pennsyl-
vania delegation in Congress in any
manner reflect the attitude of the Re-
publicans of the State Mr.. Knox is the
man of the hour in Pennsylvania"

$4,000 FIRE ON
COLDEST NIGHT
CONTINUED From First Page.l

CONTINUED From First Paee.l
When these burned. the heat and
smoke drove the firemen back num-
ber of times. The water froze on the
hremen who worked in relays because
OF the intense cold. Neighbors opened
their homes and kept hot fires going
to warm up the firemen when they
were obliged to quit because of the
cold weather.
Roof Falls In
Shortly after 2 O'Clock the roof of
the hardware store building fell in.
This cut off further chances for the
flames to spread to adjoining build
ings as the flames were confined be-
tween two brick walls, that on the
bank side being double thickness.
The occupants of the Commercial
Bank apartments were up and ready
to move if necessary. but outside of
smoke, experienced little trouble.
This morning. with Fire Chief
Kinder, Mr.. Strayer made a partial
examination of his building. Much
of the stock on the first floor will he
saved, but the contents of the cellar,
and the stock on the upper floor was
destroyed. Mr. Strayer said the esti-
mate given out would cover his losses.
No One Injured
Notwithstanding the Icy condition
of the streets, ladders and hose, no
one was injured during the fire. There
were numerous narrow escapes. One
line of hose got away from the fire.

sons watching the fire.
The horses of the Reilly Comnanv
slipped, but escaped injury. The en-
CINE horses of the Good Will Com
pany slid into q pole receiving slight
scratches. The new motor apparatus
was all in service, and proved a big
factor in preventing a spread of the
flames.
The origin of the fire was not de-
termined up TO late this afternoon.
There was q stove in the cellar of the
hardware store. but the firemen said
the flames started some distance from
the stove.

HOME COMING
ON JULY FOURTH
Businessmen of Borough Dis.
cuss Big Celebration Inde-
pendence Day

A movement to celebrate the Fourth
of July next with a big homecoming
event or a municipal fete will be
launched by the Steelton Business
mems Association at a meeting in the
North Front street headquarters Mon
day evening.
The subject of a big Independence
day celebration next summer was
broached first at the November meet
ing of the merchants but on account
of the press of the then approaching
holiday business, it was decided to
let the matter rest until the January
meeting.
Merchants feel that o celebration
next July would be a good thing for
Steelton and point with pride to the
big celebration staged on such short
notice last Fourth of July to show
that the people will fall in line for a
good celebration.
At Monday evenings meeting the
merchants will likely discuss plans for
obtaining the early erection of the
bandstand which borough council has
signiiied a willingness to erect. The
businessmen want the bandstand erect
ed in some central part of the borough.
It's erection they feel will be the first
step towards obtaining weekly band
concerts during the summer months.
