Funeral services were held to-day
for Mahlon Evans, at his late resi-
dence, 412 North Second street.
Services were conducted by the Rev.
Luther DeYoe, formerly pastor of
Messiah Lutheran Church, this city,
an intimate friend of the dead mer-
chant and his family, assisted by the
Rev. Millard Osmore Peirce, pastor
oil the Tabernacle Baptist Church, of
this city.
The pallbearers were Charles w.
Burtnett, Lewis II. Carpenter, David
5. HankinS, S. Ort Bowman, Harry
w. Booser and Harry L. Bair, who
were associated with Mr.. Evans for
seventeen years in the operation OF
the firm of Evans Burtnett Co., of
which the deceased was the senior
member.
Mr.. Evans was born February IA,
1889, in the little town of Colmar,
Montgomery county, where he re-
ceived a common school education.
Early in life he went to Philadelphia,
where he was employed by a large
wholesale grocery as salesman and
learned the grocery business in
which he became so well known. He
travelled for that company for d
number of years and in that way be-
came acquainted with this district,
causing his decision to start a COM
pany in this locality. He came to
this city early in the eighties and
in company with William Whitman,
Samuel harrington and ]. Grant
SchWarZ organized the firm of Wit
man, Schwarz Co.
In 1901 he organized the firm of
Evans -Burtnett Co., composed OF
himself and Charles w. BURNETT and
located in the rink building in Chest
nut street. The business was sue
oessful from the beginning and in
few years it was necessary to Sc
cure larger accommodations. In 1909
| they opened their large new ware
house at 21S-220 and 222 South
Second street, which building is
equipped. throughout with modern
electric elevators and with $4,000
feet of floor space.
Mr.. Evans took the greatest in
tereSt in the development of Har-
risburg business and closely applied
himself to the work of his big es-
tablishment, his last visit to the Of
/ flee being only four weeks ago. He
was an active member of the Taber-
nacle Baptist Church for many years
and held almost every office in the
Sunday school and church depart
ments. He is survived by his wife.
Margaretta; one daughter, Mrs. Adah
Evans Amber, living at home, and
two grandchildren, Francis Evans
Amber, and Jack Amber. Burial
was made in the family plot in the

COAL. SAVING
NOW POSSIBLE
New Record ON Middle Di-
vision Brings Convincing
Proof to Officials

Another new record for coal con-
sumption between Altoona and Har-
risburg was hung up yesterday. In
making the run with Train No, SO,
due here at Gas p. M, only $50
shovels of coal were used. This rec
ord was made with a number of Of
ficials and special duty men looking
on and will be used in the cam
paign for the conservation of coal.
The new record was made by Pas
senger Engineer Graffius Drake, 1900
North Third street; and fireman p,
l.. Smith, 339 PETER street, with en-
gine No, 1884. Train No. Sc was
made upof all-steel cars, and
left Altoona % minutes late. This
train made six stops, and arrived in
this city only IL minutes late. The
total number of pounds of coal used
was $3.50.
Previous Tests
For several weeks official tests
have been made with view to IN
teresting the employees in the cam
paign to save coal. n. w. Smith,
superintendent of the Middle divi-
sion, who is back of this interesting
campaign, is compiling reports and
will send them to officials higher mp
along with suggestions offered by his
employees on the question of coal
conservation.
The first record made by this en-
gineer and fireman, was PA shovelS
Two days later the trip was made
with a total of 20S shovels; and then
came another new record, 1919, Last
week the distance was covered with
the use of 1872 shovels of coal. Later
this same trip was made, and re-
quired 81 shovels of coal, aVerag-
ing IL pounds each. The test yes
terday was watched closely and
every mile checked off.
In making this record officials al
so received proof. that brakemen
make good flremen, as the young
man who figured in the rerent rec
ords received his early instructions
from a brakeman, who n long time
ago figured out the quantity of coal
used on various runs .on the Middle
division. This fact, it is said viii
play a big part in interesting train
men in the coal conservation pro-
gram. When told of the new rec
ord last night one official said, ''it
is very evident that coal saving is
possible, if we all get together in
the present campaign" 1t is under
stood that some interesting facts
alcnE this line will shortly be made
public

Reading Is Busy System;
Freight Traffic Is Big

Another busy Sunday kept all
crews on the Philadelphia and Read
ing Railway on the job. A total of
$4,000 cars were moved over the
main line. The largest business was
on the Lebanon Valley branch out
of the Rutherford yards. The cold
weather made shorter trains neces-
sary. and in some cases two engines
were used. The rush of hard coal
from the mines continue. Since the
Great Lake district demands have
been met, eastern shipments are on
the increase
