Packs Nag With Goods;
Dodges Embargo Orders

George Eaton. Jr., teacher in the
National Farm School, has put one
over on the New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad.
In spite of the big tie-up in freight
traffic, because of the freight embargo,
Eaton has a shipment of household
furniture speeding on its way from
Philadelphia to Connecticut, and is
expected to arrive at its destination
on record time. Other shipments of
furniture, and even more important
stuff, are standing tied up in the
freight muddle.
Eaton wanted to get his furniture
into his new Connecticut home quick.
He was advised that livestock ship
ments are rarely delayed in transit or
transfer. SO the professor looked
around, spent a little money with a

hold furniture was loaded upon the
train, spawned, broken-down old
nag was loaded on with it.

these" said Captain G. Chal Port, to-
day.
Captain Port is the head of the po-
lice department of the Middle division
OF the Pennsylvania railroad and is
q terror to trespassers and illegal
train riders. While on q recent visit
to Harrisburg the captain was asked
about his troubles with train riders
He said:
Few Complaints
I'VE have had few complaints late
ly. Men who are anxious to work
have plenty to do. Just now the no.
bo is really a scarce article about the
railroad. The men we have the trou-

They are not so many, but give you a
lot of trouble.
This class of train riders and the
few hoboes who are not working, hang
around industrial plants mostly on
pay days and give the workmen trou-
BILE. The workingmen who use the
tracks as a short cut home and those
who reside near railroad stations
along the tracks are getting away from
the dangerous practice, but there are
still some who must be watched

be kept busy as pleasure seekers use
the railroads most of the time"

are iron and steel and textiles.
There are over seventy-five distri-

Penn Highway Leaders
Hear Governor at Dinner

William Jennings, chairman of the
Chamber of Commerce committee in
charge of the big William Penn High
way conference yesterday, gave dim
ner at the Harrisburg Club last night
to the members of the committee to
which were also invited Governor
Rrum baugh, Commissioner of High
WAYS Cunningham and others. Those
at table included, beside the host,
tn Governor, the Commissioner OF
Highways, Mr. Uhler, the chief engi-
neer of the State Highway Depart
ment: County Solicitor Meyer, County
commissioners Cumbler, Wells and
Stine, Mr.. Fry, chief clerk of the State
Highway Department; Robert McCor-
mick. E. j. Stackpole, Mr.. Ball, secre-
tary to the Governor; Charles Il. Co
vert, w. r. Blough and Mr. McColgin,
secretary of the Chamber of Com
merce.
The dinner furnished an opportunity
for general discussion of the work of
the William Penn Highway Associa-
ton, which honored MIR. Jennings by
electing him its first president yester-
day. and Governor Brumbaugh eX-
pressed great interest in the proposed
route. He is native of the Juniata
valley and described enthusiastically
the scenic features of the proposed
highway. There was also considerable
discussion of the relation Of the State
to the counties and among other things
the need of improvement of the sew
eral roads leading out of Harrisburg
was discussed.
1t was an interesting occasion and it
developed at the dinner that there
is a widespread interest in the pro-
posed boulevard between Harrisburg
and Gettysburg via York Springs.
Commissioner Cunningham made it
clear in his remarks that the State
must have the cooperation of the
counties in the creation of compre-
hensive road system.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-03-28

[Continued From First Page.l
first steps toward laying out the great
highway were taken.
A proof of the interest in the big
boulevard throughout the fourteen
counties through which the road will
pass is testified TO by the many people
present at the meeting yesterday and
the spirited discussions on the location
of the road in some territories. Dele
gates from the counties east CT Harris
burg were satisfied generally with the
route, but when President William
jennings asked whether Perry county
men had anything to say there was a
nings and the board of governors to
the afternoon session began.
Perry County Contest
Naturally, every town in Perry
county and every other county in
Pennsylvania would be glad TO have
the road, but, as this is impossible,
sighted towns must be content with
knowing that the road will traverse
the most thickly settled districts and
sections where 1t will be of most
benefit.
Residents of Newport are making
a hard fight to have the old Pittsburgh
and Philadelphia turnpike along the
east bank of the Juniata reopened and
reconstructed but they are fighting no
more than the citizens in New Bloom
field and Liverpool are to have their
towns on the route. This three-sided
fight is arousing quite a lot of interest
and it will remain for President Jen-
nings and the board of Governors to
decide which shall win.
In Blair County
In Juniata and Mifflin counties the
advocates are satisfied with the route
except that residents of Mount Union
want the boulevard through instead
of alongside their town. No difhculty
is being experienced in Huntington or
any of the other counties except Cam
bria and Blair. Some persons in those
counties want the road to run from
Waterstreet to Tyrone, Bellwood, Al
toona and Ebensburg, while others
would like to see Ebensburg reached
by going from Waterstreet to Holll-
daysburg. Duncanville, Cresson and
Ebensburg The former route, 1t is
said. would serve more people, Dut the
latter would he n few miles shorter
and the more beautiful. The question
of selecting a route in these two coun-
ties brought forth some real orators
and heated arguments, but it will re-
main for the board of governors to
make a decision.
soon after the conclusion of the
discussions yesterday afternoon the
session ended and President jennings
announced that the board OF governors
will meet at a later date and flnally
decide on the through route. Aside
from the route a number of alternate
roads will be mapped out, too.
Altogether the meeting was great
success and if the enthusiasm con-
tinues it will not be long before the
William Penn Highway will be found
on every road map of pennsylvania
and also be known as the Pennsylvania
section of the Pixies Peak Ocean-to-
Ocean Highway.
