Park Commissioner Makes
Survey of River Front;
Little Flood Damage

City Commissioner Gross and his as
sistant superintendent, Y. Grant For
rer have made a careful survey of the
conditions along the River Front and
lind that it will be necessary to use
considerable surface gravel along the
walk at the top of the tmbankment
ii is expected that there will he some
settlement from "Hardscabbie' north
ward in the portion that was newly
graded last year, but the damage from
the high water has been comparatively
trifling, and il is believed the walk
and slope can he put into first class
shape as soon as the water recedes.
Thousands of people have walked
along the embankment during the last
week and this constant procession has
had the effect of a road roller upon
the walk. 1t will only be necessary to
fill out along the outer edge where
there are a few sunken places and re-
store the planting of the barberry
hedge which sank a little with the
top of the slope.
Commissioned Gross is not unmind-
full of the destructive tendencies of
gang of hoodlums that has been tear
ing benches loose from their fasten-
ings and committing other acts of van
dallsm. These gangs arr half-grown
boys and few examples early in the
season. it is thought. will remedy the
trouble. 1t has not been forgotten
that most of the globes on the lower
walk were broken by these same
gangs last year

POST WARNINGS
Issue Circulars TO Schools on
Dangerous Practices; Cards
For Trespasscrs

AS part of the great safety first"
movement planned by all companies,
the Cumberland Valley Railroad Com
pany is doing some original work. This
company is placing illustrated trespass
warnings in all stations and school
houses along its main line and
branches.
In addition to to this warning post
cards are mailed to persons who are
found by the committee walking along
the railroad tracks or moving about
in danger zones. These cards give the
date on which the person was seen on
the company's property and reads as
follows:
Results of Violations
Possibly you do not realize that on
account of the number and speed of
trains this is a very dangerous prac-
tice and one which may result in the
loss of your life or your being crippled.
We feel that it is our duty to do all
that we can to impress on your mind
the great importance of stopping this
practice.
During the last twenty-five years
1850 persons were killed and
1861 persons injured while walking
on railroad tracks and Tipping cars
in the United States as shown in the
diagram.
"Fifty-three per cent. of all fatali-
ties on the railroads are trespassers.
"Will you not cooperate with us in
this matter and thereby help us to
save your fife or limb, as well as the
lives and limbs of the men and women
of your community who indulge in
this extremely dangerous practice?"
The large circulars show pictures of
dangerous practices and give statistics
on the number of persons killed and
injured, taken from the reports of the
Interstate Commerce Commission.

Chase of Dispersed Bands
Is Resumed by Column of
Col. Dodd After Short Rest
By Associated Press

San Antonio. Texas, April with
only brief rest, Colonel Dodd's cav
airy, to whom fell the honor Wednes-
day of dispensing 500 of Villas men at
Guerrero, has resumed the chase of
the scattered bands, while supporting
forces of American troops covered the
railroad toward Chihuahua and small
er detachments began beating the
country adjacent for signs of the
bandit leader.
Overnight dispatches to General
Funston from Mexico told the manner
in which General Pershing's punitive
forces had deployed, but non brought
additional details of the fighting at
Guerrero. All bore fling dates of
Thursday or early Friday, permitting
officers here TO retain the hope that
perhaps another encounter had been
registered, or perhaps even the cap
ture of Villa himself had been eff
fected.
High expectancy prevailed at army
headquarters and every confidence
was displayed in the ability of the Off
GERS and men at the front to drive
Villa in to the open If he has not all
ready succeeded in making his way
into the almost inaccessible mountains
south and west of Guerrero
Now Reported Injured
Just where Villa went when the
rero is not known here. Reports that
he was carried away on a litter, that
he rode off in a carriage, or that he
was hiding in a cave of a mountain
overlooking the battle between his
men and those of Colonel Dodd were
characterized at headquarters at Guer-
rero. No report to General Funston
has stated specifically just where he
was on that day nor where he IS now
Even the report that he is injured is
not definitely stated, although General
Pershing's references to tis injuries
indicated that he believed the report.
Unofficial reports early to-day indi-
Gated the possibility of an error as to
his wounded condition. One of these
reports, which was from a Mexican
source, was that he was uninjured and
that his own men had spread the re-
port of his broken leg in order to dis
tract the attention of the Americans.

The West and Juniata branches fell,

dEN1
change system to the automatic is the
ilrst OF the improvements in opera
tton promised by the reorganized
Cumberland Valley Company. The
company's reorganization was effect
ed January l of this year anu imme-
dtately steps were taken to improve
the service in this territory. Just
what the cost of the new system will
be was not stated, but Mr.. Baer init
mated that ii will run high in the
thousands.
Mr.. Baer, in explaining why the
company has decided to install the
automatic system, declared that the
new system is the best known to tele-
phony and is rapidly superseding the
old manual plan now in general use.
Mr.. Baer explained the features of the
automatic system in an interview
with the Harrisburg Telegraph as fol-
lows:
just Turn Dial
The essential difference between
automatic and manual service is that
in the first case, the number is given
by turning a dial, which actuates ma
chimes in the central office. while
in the others. the number is spoken to
girl who completes the connection
by hand.
The advantages claimed for auto
matte service are chiefly accuracy,
speed and convenience.
THE construction of manual tele-
phone equipment is such that acct
dental false reports of busy" prema-
ture dsconnecting of telephones,
wrong numbers, and connections to
busy lines are inevitable. No matter
how expert and careful the operators
are, these annoyances are bound to
occur. In addition, it is often very
difficult TO distinguish between num-
bers particularly five and 'nineD
over the telephone. and wrong num-
bers often result through misunder-
standing on the part of the operator
Difficulties Eliminated
I'm the automatic system. however,
these difficulties are eliminated. The
dial cannot help but send the num-
her exactly as it is turned by the sub
scriber and the central Office switches
cannot help but connect with pre-
cisely that number Machinery can
not misunderstood. nor can it make
mistakes
"Of course, troubles do occur. all
mechanism tends to get out of or
der, but by means of signals and warn
ings in the automatic EXCHANGE, all
such cases are discovered generally
before the subscriber finds out that
ms phone is in trouble, and are very
easily and quickly corrected.
Faster Than Manual
THE automatic system is faster
than the manual, since it acts with the
speed of electricity, practically instan-
taneously. On an average it takes six
second to lift the receiver from the
nook, dial the number and start ring
ing the bell AT the called telephone.
I'm the manual exchange one can sell
dom get the attention of an operator.
that Is, start to make call, in less
time.
Furthermore, this speed is uni
iorm IN the automatic, at all times of
the day and night, during the busy
hourS' and at slack periods. The ma
cnlne always stands ready, and acts
with unvarying rapidity; not so with
the manual. In that system during
the busy hours. the operators receive !
more calls than they can handle at
once SO some people have to wait, |
ana at night, when there are few girls |
on duty, there are frequent delays !
because OF the small force.

Pennsy Plans Early
Elimination of Poles
by Installing Conduits

AS soon as the weather permits op-
erauohs' the Pennsylvania railroad
company will begin the elimination
of the poles and the placing of all
its wires between Market and Maclay
streets IN conduits. Permission to take
down the poles and make these
changes has been asked of City Com
missioner w. III. Lynch, superintendent
of streets and public improvements.
Whiie most of the poles are on the
railroad property some of them on
the city streets which are used by
the company, will be taken down,
too.
After the poles and wires north
ward have been removed, the chances
are that similar operations will be
started from Market street southward.
