Burgess Wigfield Expects Big
Contributions From
Organizations

| Burgess Wigfield announced this
morning that several of the organiza-
tions of the town from which he has
asked assistance in the Armenian and
Syrian relief work, have responded
and assured him that they would
help. According to present indica-
tions Steelton's collection will be as
large as any other borough of its size
and class.
copy of the proclamation has
been sent to all civic, church and
fraternal organizations of the town
and Burgess Wigfield is certain every
one of these will respond generously
Fire companies have also been otified
and are expected to make one large
contribution.
The Burgess and the Rev. "A. K.
Wier. pastor of the Centenary United
Brethren Church. have the campaign
in charge. Many of the organizations
will not hold meetings until the lat
ter part of next month when the con-
tributions will be made, and the COL
lection will not be sent to New York
until all organizations are heard FROM
Sunday has been set aside as the spe-
cial day for collections in local
churches.

air craft has been discarded officially
by the National Advisory Committee
for Aeronautics. In a report issued
to-day on nomenclature of aeronau-
tics" the name airplane is substituted
for any form of aircraft heavier than
air which has wing surfaces for sus-
tentation, with stabil:z:ng surfaces,
rudders, for steering and power plant
for propulsion through the air. The
landing gear may be suited for either
land or water use."
An introduction to the report says
it is issued to eliminate Implications
and erroneous use OF aeronautcal
terms. Only new terms, peculiar to
aeronautics, are defined in the ap-
pended list of 142 words and phrases,
Examination of the preferred terms
shown, indicates that an effort has
been made TO eliminate also all
foreign words which have come into
use through the developments of air
craft. Most of these are French. Very
few such words have been retained,
however, even such terms as vol.

High Price of Coke Due
Wholly to Car Shortage

Pittsburgh, Oct. CIV. X. Field,
president of the Pittsburgh Coal Com
pany, declared to-day that SIS coal and
IS coke was due almost entirely to the
car shortage. While there is a scarcity
of miners, he said, there are enough
TO operate the mines of the Pittsburgh
district to so per cent. of their rated
capacity. but they are in reality op
Grating less than so per cent. because
it is impossible to obtain cars. Ore
shippers, continued Mr.. Field, send
iron ore into the Pittsburgh district in
hopper cars, and as soon as the ore is
unloaded the hopper openings are COW
cred with heavy planking and the cars
use TO ship finished steel products in
stead of being sent to the Northwest
and West with coal. Coal mines never
have any incoming freight and have to
depend on the ear supply as it is doled
out to them.
Other operators were qually en-
phatic, saying they could take care of
almost double their present coal and
coke tonnage if they had the cars, and
consequently prices would not be SO
high. Even at the prevailing prices
Very little free coal and coke is avail
able, producers devoting their entire
energies to filling contracts taken at
about one-half the prices now quoted
in the open market.

nation, although somewhat indefinite

nation, although somewhat indefinite
as to individuals. as showing a dan
gerous situation along the border.
Publication of the fact that the gov
ernment has taken steps to checkmate
such a movement, he believes, goes far
toward preventing an attack either
upon a border town or upon General
Pershing's forces.
Secretary Baker indicated that no
immediate movement of General Per-
shings columns were contemplated.
He refused to say, however, whether
orders had been given to meet an at
tack. He gave the impression that
Generals Funston and Pershing might
have been directed to take certain
steps of retaliatory nature, should
an attack be made upon their forces,
or that the department had such or
ders under consideration
1T have nothing to say on that sub
ject," was his only response to every
question in regard to orders sent to
the border.
The Department of Justice was in
vestigating the reports in an effort to
prosecute any persons who may be
directing the plot from the American
side of the border. Secretary Lansing
expressed the opinion that no Ameri-
cans were involved. although Eliseo
Arredondo, Mexican ambassador-de-
signate, said similar reports reaching
him two weeks ago indicated Ameri-
can advocates of Intervention in Mex
leo were assisting Mexican bandits in
planning the raid.
Later Mr.. hans:ng authorized the
following statement
II was quite correctly reported last
night in the statement that Secretary
Bakers announcement was inspired
by absolutely no political considera-
tions as to this country. Nor does it
mean to infer that Americans of any
sort are involved in, the plot. There
are many Mexican aefugeees in this
Presidents Mexican policy who would
doubtless consider the present time as
ripe for the furtherance of their pro-
jects. The silver which is known to
have gone from this country to Mexi-
can bandits was not necessarily from
Americans. Indeed | cannot conceive
that there is any American citizen who
is so heartless, so entirely cruel, so
wanton as to take political step that
would involve American lives.
"The warning was given simply to
protect American lives and property
and have every hope it will be effec-
tive" 81"

statement in the morning papers" said


Chairman Wilcox, "Mr. Baker was
guilty either of amazing stupidity or of
a disingenuous attempt to gain votes
for Mr.. Wilson by misrepresentation
If Mr.. Lansing is quoted correctly, he
went over the Baker statement before
it was issued and the Baker statement
therefore appears to be the joint
product of Mr.. Wilson's two cabinet
officers. There can be little doubt in
the minds of anyone what this state-
ment was designed to accomplish. The
careful phrasing of Mr. Baker shows
an attempt to make political capital
out of what he appears to have re-
garded as an impending disaster on
the Mexican border. This political cap
tal was to be gained by charging that
enemies of Mr.. Wilson's policy with
regard to Mexico were behind it and
that the attempt was to take place be-
tween nav and election. Other parts
of Mr.. Bakers statement are suscept-
ible of the same Interpretation.
'1f, as Mr.. Lansing says, Mr.. Baker
made this statement without compre-
hending that it was a veiled charge
against American citizens, thereby i'm
plying the infamous guilt of treason,
then Mr.. Baker has once more dis
played the remarkable bias of mind
which prompted him to make his un-
patriotic statement regarding revolu-
tionary soldiers in his speech in Jersey
City. If, on the other hand, Mr.. Baker

be put upon my statement. The state
ment was without political purpose
and ought to be without political eff
feet. 1t will have served it's entire
purpose If it serves notice upon the
lawless people in Mexico that we have
been warned and are prepared"
Secretary Baker declared it was ''ab-
surd" to suppose that his statement
had been intended to imply that my
political interest in the United States
desired anything other than peace on
the border.
"Such a thing could not be" he
said.
Asked just what interests he charg-
ed were behind the movement, Secre-
tary Baker dictated this statement:
The Mexicans who oppose the de
facto government in Mexico would of
course, be glad to complicate relations
between the United States and Mexico
and our information is that they think
this an appropriate time to do So
The statement made last night by the
department ought to discourage any
advance on their part in that direc-
tion.
Everybody knows that many Mexi-
cans in this country are constantly
agitating against the de facto govern
ment. Any sympathy there may be on
the American size of the border with
the movement is wholly from this
source.
THE only possible suggestion of a
political purpose Gin the war depart
ment's statement) is to prevent people
in Mexico from creating disturbance
of political character in furtherance
of their own design"
Part of the information which led
to his statement, the secretary said,
reached him yesterday afternoon with
in few minutes of the time he left
to deliver a campaign speech in West
Virginia. Mr.. Baker. 1t was learned,
took his advices up with Secretsry
Lansing and the latter is said to have
advised that there be no delay In maxi
ing public the substance of the infor-
nation.

Value of Mass. Products
Drops, but Wages Increase

Boston, Mass, Oct. 27.-Manufac-
tured products in Massachusetts
showed an increase in value of a little
more than 10 per cent. in the five-year
period from 1909 to 1914, according to
q report issued by the State Bureau OF
Statistics to-day. The value in the
latter year was $1,641, ,373,047. The
report points out, however, that there
was q decrease in value of more than
sl7,000,000 from the figures i'll 1913
and that the rate of increase for the
five years was far below the average
at any time for nearly twenty years.
In the same period the amount of
wages paid increased more than 80 per
cent. In ali previous five-year periods
since 1895 the value of manufactured
products had increased more rapidly
than the amount paid in wages.
