PENNSY PLANS
CLASSIFICATION
YARDS AT SHOCKS
Additional Track Facilities at
Enola Included in Improve
ment Program

Classification yards at Shocks Mills,
on the Columbia branch. and addi.
tional track facilities at Enoia yards
are two big improvements said to be
planned by the Pennsylvania Railroad
for the near future. The new yards
1t is said. will be at point where the
low grade line crosses the Susque-
hanna river and will be a big factor
in taking care of freight to and from
tidewater in the event of the eight
hour law becoming permanent.
1t is said that plans for the new
yards have been in the hands of the
officials at Philadelphia for some time
awaiting approval and that the Pennsy
will spend no less than 100000 on
the Shocks Mills yards
Fortune I'm Bituminous
In order to find room for the new
tracks at Enola the large supply of
bituminous coal which has been stored
there for a year is being removed.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
is also cutting in on the soft coal
supply stored at other points.
Having this large supply of the
bituminous product on hand at this
time, 1t Is said, is proving a saving OF
many thousands of dollars for the rail-
road company. Soft coal is now worth
from $3.50 to 1915 per ton at the
mines. according to grade. When the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company start
ed to store soft coal along the main
line the price was from s1.50 to So pei
ton. The average cost to ship coal
varies from $1.30 to $3.50 a ton. AS
the Pennsylvania company is not buy
ing coal at present and claims to have
a large amount still on hand, the COM
pany is saving from SO to 81 a ton. Nc
figures are available as to the exact
amount OF soft coal on hand, but it is
said to be over the million-ton mark.

Tells W. c. 7. U. of Value
of News Articles to Locals

indianapolis, Ind. Nov. 22. The
38th annual convention of the Ma
uonal Women'S Christian Temperance
Union will close tonight with the an
nouncement of membership awards.
Invitations for the 1917 convention
also will be extended tonight.
The value of news articles to the
union~@as explained in detail to-day
at the efficiency congress-" by Mrs.
Susan McWhirter Ostrum. of Indian
apolis, superintendent of the press de-
partment. She told the delegates that
local organizations would better hold
one meeting and have it reported well
than four and have no reports in the
papers. She also advised the delegates
to tell their locals not to question the
editors who "cut" the material fur
nished. She said any news item con-
corning the work of the union is worth
more than a much larger amount of
paid advertising.
Addressing the convention on "Mor-
monism, Its Polygamy and Treason"
Mrs. Lulu Lovelland Sheppard, of the
National Reform Association, asserted
that Joseph Smith, head of the Nor
mon church, defeated prohibition in
Utah in 1909 and again in 1915.
"Mormonism has grown more rapid
ly in the last fifty years than any other
church and to-day one person in every
sixty is a Mormon" said Mrs. Shep-
pard.
The power of the Mormon church
lies in its commerciaIism, for as a
church it is the richest in the world
The church to-day has $25,0OO,OOO
boarded up in Wall street and there Is
$500, 100000 more money in Utah"

Tennis on Ice Soon by
Champions Is Planned

New York. Nov. 22.-Tennis on ice
with prominent players participating
and possible ice championship within
the next year is planned by Frederick
b. Alexander, Davis cup veteran and
lawn tennis player of international
reputation. Several years ago an ice
tennis match was played in which
Alexander and other well-known ten
mis- players took part and considerable
interested was aroused.
The same rules that govern lawn
tennis apply to ice tennis. The court
will be laid out in black paint on the
ice surface, but because of the addi-
tional height skates give a player it
is probable that the net will be slightly
raised. 1t is claimed that the ball
does not skid on the ice to n much
more pronounced degree than it does
in play on the board floors in armories
and clubs. The players are able to
employ all the cut known to the out
door game.

Deutschland Is Believed
to Have Left American
Waters in Safety on Dash

Nantucket, r. l.. Nov. 22.-The mer-
chant submarine Deutschland, returning
to Germany with a valuable cargo was
believed to-day to have left American
waters in safety. Darkness which set
in soon after she started yesterday
from New London, Conn, prevented OBJ
servation of the submersibes progress
along shore and there was no word from
her since she passed Watch Hill at sun
set last evening, a barely distinguish
able object ten miles off shore.
If she maintained her speed of ten
knots an hour it was figured she would
have passed Nantucket south shoals
lightship in the darkness early this
morning. Then with the open ahead
the Deutschland could set out on the
1000 miles course by which her COM
mander, Captain Koenig, hoped again
to evade the blockading vessels of the
allied navies supposedly watching for
her coming.

EIGHT-HOUR LAW
Is HELD ILLEGAL
BYLOWER COURT
Declared Unconstitutional by
District Court Judge in
Test Case
GOES TO SUPREME BODY
Directs Every Railroad in
Country to Participate in
Hearings

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. p. =
The Adamson eight-hour law was
held unconstitutional here to-day
by Judge William c. Hook, in the
United States District Court.
Judge Hook directed the receiv-
ers of the Missouri, Oklahoma
and Gulf Railroad, who brought
the original action in this case
to enjoin the law from going into
effect, to assist the government in
expediting the case to the Su-
preme Court of the United States
for final decision and informed
them through their attorneys to
invite the representatives of every
railroad in this country to parti-
cipate in the hearings before the
United States ST )reme Court.
This was requested in the govern
ments motion to dismiss the injunc-
ton petition of the railroad, the gov
ernment desiring to avoid prolonged,
unnecessary and scattered litigation"
that would be made necessary by the
nearing OF countess similar SUITS flled
by every rail system in every federal
district in the United States through
which their lines run.
1t is expected that the ultimate de-
cision as to whether the law will go
into effect January 1 will be handed
down before that time. A transcript
of the present case will be filed in the
United States Supreme Court before
it reconvenes December f..
Council Bluffs, Ia, Nov. %. - In a
suit asking injunction against enforce
ment of the Adamson law filed in the
Federal District Court here to-day by
the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
Railroad Company injunction also is
asked against the four railroad
brotherhoods concerned to restrain
them from inaugurating strikes should
the provisions of the law be disre.
! garded by the company.

APPROPRIATIONS
CHAIRMAN FAVORS
FOOD EMBARGO
Democratic Representative to
Press Bill at Next
Congress

Washington, D. c., Nov. 22.-Rep-
resentative Fitzgerald. Democrat, chair
man OF the House appropriations COM
mittee, announced to-day that he fa-
vored an embargo on foodstuffs and
that it was his purpose to prepare a
bill and to press the subject early the
coming session of Congress.
Two reasons chiefly impeI me to
favor embargo legislation on food
stuffs," said Mr.. Fitzgerald. 1T is a
most effective weapon in our contro-
versy with Great Britain over her un-
warranted, outrageous and indefensible
blacklist OF American merchants. AS
our foodstuffs are needed abroad, en-
barge will be more effective than
weary months of diplomatic nego-
tiauons which end in the continuance
of the indefensible practices against
our rights.
THE embargo also should be inn
posed for purely domestic reasons
The prices of foodstuffs have reached
levels that are bringing widespread
distress to the country. Many hun
dreds of thousands of our people are
suffering from the lack of the necessi-
ties of life. Wholesale prices in many
commodities are less abroad to-day
than they were year ago; here the
retail prices have advanced alarmingly.
Cut Living Cost
"The argument that nothing should
be done to interfere with the expan-
sion of our foreign trade does not i'm
press me. OF what profit is 1t If our
foreign trade is to grow with leaps and
bounds while our own people are
brought to the verge of starvation as
result of it?
The time is ripe for the embargo
and | hope to see legislation speedily
enacted to impose it. Let America be
1 for Americans first
| 1t seems to be generally agreed here
that the coming session of Congress
will see fight over the embargo pro-
posal, which is backed by smonster
petitions signed by thousands of per-
sons and organizations.
President Wilson and the Cabinet
are understood to oppose it,
