brother. E. E. Adams, Mrs. Shetron,

Dauphin. At that place the other
woman stepped from the machine
and Mrs. Shetron asked to be brought
back to Harrisburg.
The Crash
At the crossing at the head of the
Narrows. below Dauphin, just before
the accident. Adams claims that the
watchman signaled three times that
he could cross. AS he drove on the
tracks, the engine struck the machine
dragging it seventy-five yards and
smashing the auto to bits. Mrs. Shet-
ron was instantly killed, and at first it
was thought that Adams was fatally
injured. The crash occurred about

companied Mrs. Shetron to Dauphin.

The watchman at the crossing,
where several tragedies have occur

stop. He also declared that he saw
only two people in the car when it
crossed the tracks about IL o'clock
going toward Dauphin.
Funeral arrangements for Mrs.
Shetron have not been made. Her
husband will probably be unable to re-
turn in time to be present at the SER
vices. Coroner Eckinger said at noon

inquest will be held.
Adams narrowly escaped fatal in
juries. and part of his machine was
removed from beneath the engine. He

Steel Mills Protest
Against Coal Shortage

Shortage of cars and rising prices
OF coal are causing some of Harris
burg's local manufacturing plants no
little uneasiness just now, although
none of them anticipate real trouble
unless the situation should grow vastly
worse. Most of the plants are pro-
tected by big contracts.
The Steelton plant of the Bethlehem
Steel Company is we'll protected by
long scheduled contracts and the Cen
trail Iron and Steel Company antici-
pates no difficulty. A car shortage
might affect the Harrisburg Pipe and

THAT no female shall appear in pub

four inches of the ground, with q
waist or bodice which exposes more
than three inches OF the chest or back

Nudity would disgust, while the sill

Hugh A. White, assemblyman from

not so much what women wore but
"how they are undressed when they
appear on the streets" The amend
ment was voted down.
Discussion of the bill, which Is pat

WOMEN GOLFERS
IN DEBATING BEE
Date for National Tourney
Bone of Contention
at BiltmOre.

The Women's Metropolitan Golf As
ISOLATION held meeting in the Hotel
Biltmore yesterday for the purpose OF
selecting a course for the 1916 cham
pionship tournament and to elect OFF,
GERS for the coming season. But the
most important feature that developed
was the debate over the date assigned
for the national championship.
The United States Golf Association
had awarded this tourney to the Bel
mont Springs Country Club, near B0s-
ton, for September, but the feeling at
the meeting in the Biltmore was
strongly in favor of having the date
changed to about the middle of Octo-
Der, as in former years.
A motion was made and passed to
empower the executive committee to
request the parent body to make the
change desired.
The Piping Rock or the BaltusroI
Golf Club links are the only courses
regarded seriously for the holding oil
the metropolitan tournament. Piping
Rock had already put in a bid, and The
Baltusrol Club intimated that if the
women applied for the use of the New
jersey course they could have 1t.
: An unofficial vote was taken for the
purpose of finding the prevailing aen-
timent as between the two. COURSES
Twenty-eight were for BaltusroE and
twenty-six for Piping Rock. The mat
ter was referred to the executive COM
.rottee. -,
There-was quite a decided feeling OF
dissatis faction among the members OF
. the association because of their limited
voice in the matter of selecting the
courses for their meetings. Much dis
cussion was held on this question
and the whole thing will probably be
taken up with the United States Coli
Association.
Arrangements were made TO hold a
series of team matches this summer
with three sections TO be represented
namely, New Jersey. the district out
side metropolitan New York, and Long
Island and Staten Island combined
These matches are TO be played on a
scratch basis, the three winners in the
finals to meet later in the season. Of
fers for the holding of one-day tourna-
ments were received from thirteen
clubs, while the Knollwood Country
Club offered the use of its course fol
three-day tourney.
II also was decided TO put up cham
pionship cup for competition hereaf'
ter.
Following were the officers elected
for 1916: President, Mrs. F. +. Dono-
hue. Montclair; vice president. Mrs: c
II. Conner, Apawamis; secretary, Miss
Marion Hollins, Westbrook; treasurer
Mrs. ]. f. Davis, Piping Rock. The
executive committee elected was com
posed of Mrs. W. Fellowes Morgan

woodie. Mrs. Lawrence Swift, the re-
firing president, presided. having come
