BULLFROG LAW
EFFECTIVE SOON
Commissioner Butler Says
People Will Have Chance to
Find Out About 1t

I'VE will give the people of Penn
sylvania time to find out about the
bullfrog law before we start enforc-
ing it." said Commissioner of Fish
cries N. r. Butler to-day. This is
the first law ever passed in this State
to protect the frogs and many people
may not know about it. We are hav-
ing the provisions worked out and
will see that the people get the word.
1t will be some time before it is en-
forced, but We do not propose to al
low raiding of lakes and ponds by
people who want to clean them out
before the law becomes operative"
Commissioner Butler declares that
the law. which limits the catch to
twenty-five "bullies" per day, was
needed in Pennsylvania because
owing to the demand for frogs for
food purposes they were being hunt
ed by men who made 1t their buSi-
ness and who travelled from section
to section, literally clearing them of
frogs. Commissioner Butler says that
the provision forbiddlng the use of
lights while hunting frogs was for
the same protective reason.
Since the enactment OF the law the
Department of Fisheries has had
numerous inquiries about the en-
forcement of the act and protesting
against it being put into effect i'm
mediately. The season for hunting
frogs will be from July to November.
The Game Commission is having
the game code digested and the sea-
sons and other information in tab
loid form will be printed on muslin
sheets and spread broadcast through
out the State. AS in the case of the
bullfrog and terrapin laws the new
seasons will become effective this
year.

UNIQUE SUIT IN
CARLISLE COURT
Son Claims $4,000 From
Father For Managing Under
Agreement

Carlisle. Pa. June ia unique
suit was entered here late yesterday
by Harry A Kramer. against his
father. John c. Kramer, to secure the
sum of $4,000 which he declares due
him under a contract made with the
latter by which he left his home in
Indiana and came here. The younger
Kramer alleges that he had a bakery
business in Elkhart, Ind, paying be-
tween $S,400 and $4,000 per year, but
that in September, 1916, at the in
stance of his father, he came to Car
Isle to take over the management of
farms and other property of the lat
ter. For this service he was to re-
ceive the rent of a house free during
his life and was also to be given four
certificates of deposit, aggregating
about $4,000. The father has refused
to make good his part OF the agree
ment. it is alleged, and has also de-
manded that the younger man vacate
the house For his trouble and in
convenience the son asks $4,000 as
damages. The father Is reputed to
be very wealthy and owns much prop
erty in this vicinity.

JOHN GUAM GETS
COMPENSATION
Harrisburg Man Shot While
at Work Will Be Given
Allowance

The State Compensation Board in
an opinion by Chairman Harry A.
Mackey allows compensation to John
Guam, a driver for McCreath Bros,
Harrisburg, who was shot during the
course of his employment by a fell
low employe who had gone insane.
The board holds that lit is sutf1clent
if he suffered his experience while
in the course of his employment" for
him to be compensated. In this par
ticular case, we find as fact says
the opinion, that the claimant while
engaged in the prosecution OF his
work for the defendant suffered an
injury by being shot by an insane fell
low workman. Therefore, there can
be no intention imputed to the as
sailant. The case in our judgment
presents the same features for con-
sideration as though the claimant
were injured while prosecuting his
work for his employer because of a
defective piece of machinery" The
opinion upholds the finding of Ref
cree Snyder.
In another opinion the Board
modifies an award of Referee Beemer
in a claim of William Latonis, Glen
Lyon, against a coal company and
holds that it had itself placed a
wrong Interpretation on a clause in
the act.
The Board upholds Referee Beem-
er in a claim of Mary Elizabeth
Jones, Hazleton, against the Lehigh
Valley Railroad Company, which
contended that her husband had
died while engaged in interstate COM
merce work for the company. The
man fell from ladder in the COM
pany's shops. On this the Board says:
Simply because the Lehigh Valley
railroad company is ordinarily en-
gagged in interstate commerce or in
the transportation of commodities
from a point within a State to a
point within another raises no pre-
sumption that no matter what a
mans occupation might be while an
employe of that company that he was
engaged in interstate commerce at
that time"

Car Continues
Identically The Same

There will be no change of any nature
I'M the Chandler at the new price. The
present series, greatest in Chandler his
tory, will be continued without alteration.
The Chandler Company has striven to
avoid this advance in price. But the
advance is unavoidable. It would have
been justified months ago. Almost every
item in cost of production has advanced
materially.
The $1395 price could have been con-
tinued only by cheapening the car. And
the Chandler car has never been cheapened.

RAILROADS SEEK FREIGHT RATE INCREASE
WHILE PROFITS SET NEW HIGH MARX

42.4 per cent on its stock
In 1900, when the interstate COM
merce commission began protecting
the roads by stopping rebating, free
passes and cut-throat competition,
the average rate of dividends on all
outstanding railroad stock was "a
per cent, and this was the highest
rate they had ever paid up to that
time. By 1914 the rate of dividends
on all outstanding railroad stock had
increased to 81 per cent, more than
TWICE the rate paid in 1900 Since
1914 the rate has increased at least
80 per cent more, so that the divi-
dends for 1916 were at least $50 per
cent higher on all the stock out
standing than in the good old days"
of rebates and unrestricted COMPETE
ton.
First and foremost among the pleas
which the railroads advance in ask
ing for higher rates in the great pa
tTiotism they displayed in agreeing to
abide by the provisions of the Adam
son act and grant the 8-hOur day On
the eve of the threatened strike.
They ask also compensation for
the increased wages paid under the
AdamsOn act.
you have enacted a law against
US, }" they say, now you must pay the
penalty"
As a matter of fact, the wage in
creases granted the employees take
up only a part of the increased pro-
ductive efficiency Of labor employed
under modern conditions and with
modern equipment. It has been prov
en- time and again before arbitration
boards that the increased revenue
arising. from this ever-increasing pro-
duCtivity is sufficient to cover all the
wage increases and leave a. surplus
for the companies.
The final argument of the railroads
is the increase in the cost of coal and
oil, which they expect to pay this

Washington, March II. - One of
the biggest domestic questions to-
day is:
Shall the railroads of the United
States be permitted to increase their
rates for carrying freight?
The railroads have just completed
the most prosperous year in their
entire history and they are now earn
ing at a rate which will make their
net income for 1917 greater even
than in 1916.
In 1916 the net earnings of Amer
lean railroads were $1,136, 100000,
more than $50 for every family in the
United States. Their gross earnings
for the same year were ,753,00O,-
600.
This means, in plain language, that
out Of every dollar that the railroads
took in for freight or passengers, 80
cents was net profit, over and above
all expenses.
They are already getting more than
that, as their own reports show. In
January, 1917, the net earnings of
all roads were $76,19O,69O, as COM
pared with S68,586,OO6 in January,
1916. This is an increase of seven
and two-thirds millions over the
most prosperous January the roads
ever enjoyed, and if continued
throughout this year, as there is ev-
cry reason to expect, will give the
roads S9O,OOOOO0 more than they
took in last year. And these enor-
nous earnings in January we're made
in spite of the wretched mismanage-
ment which left loaded freight cars
stalled in every terminal in the coun-
try while the entire nation was call
ing for empty cars to move food and
coal to the cities.
The Pennsylvania railroad, whose
president presented the plea for
higher rates, last year earned 1O.5
per cent on its stock, including wa
