NO NEED TO TAKE

Bonding Company Representa-

on Schedules

Speaking of Commissioner Gross
latest decision on the ash question,
Edward P. Bailey, of the American
Surety Company, the bonding concern
that has been pushing the Pennsyl-
vania Reduction Company in an eff
fort to solve the collection problem,
said:
$50 far as the matter of the city's
taking over the contract for the re.
moval of ashes is concerned, there is
no necessity for it now and we will
see to it that there will be none"
More Complaints Pouring In
More complaints by card of no ash
collections for weeks in various dis
tricts of the city reached the City
Health Bureau to-day and are being
lied according to localities.
With fair and warmer weather, it
is believed some of the accumula-
tions which have been reported, can
be removed.
Mr.. Bailey seemed we'll pleased
with the progress that is being made
under the circumstances. He declared
that four gangs of men now at work
are keeping ahead of their schedule
and are collecting on the back surplus
that has piled up in boxes, buckets,
cans and other receptacles over the
winter
Plans have already been started to
prevent a repetition of conditions next
winter similar to the situation which
has caused no en- dof trouble for city
officials during the last few months.

Noted Penna Artists
to Be Given Opportunity
at Capitol Decoration

The Board of Public Grounds and
Buildings yesterday decided to give
Pennsylvania artists other than Miss
Violet Oakley opportunity to have
their works in the State Capitol Miss
Oakley has many beautiful paintings
on the walls of the Senate and else
where throughout the building and the
board feels that some other noted
pennsylvania painters should be given
consideration when there is more
work of the kind to be done
Discussing this action of the board
State Treasurer Young to-day said,
1T is the disposition of the present
board not to extend, or rather, not to
make new contracts with Miss Oak
ley. Notwithstanding the excellence
of her work the board realizes that
there are other equally eminent mural
painters who are natives of Pennsyl-
vania, among others John Sargent and
Maxfield Parrish, whose work 1T would
be desirable to have represented In
the establishment of the. Capitol

Suspects in Eddystone
Explosion Reported to Have
Been Arrested Near Here

Reports that two suspects were ar
rested this morning on Pennsylvania
Railroad train near here created con-
siderable excitement in this city. The
men, it was said, know something re-
garding the explosion at Eddystone
yesterday.
The men were Germans and
boarded train at Lancaster intend
ing to go to Lebanon. Railroad off,
GERS took them in charge after the
train left Conewago. According to
the story told here, the men were
taken off the train at Mt. Gretna
where an automobile was in waiting.
and the officers and prisoners went
overland to Mt. Joy at which point
they met an eastbound train.
Inquiries at the Office of Captain
Paul l.. Barclay failed to bring any
verification of the reports 1t was said
that two trespassers had been ar
rested and sent to Lancaster. Train
men at the Pennsylvania Railroad
station said the arrest was bonafide
but the charges on which the men
were arrested were not given,
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1917-04-11

President Vauclain said to- day:
'fThe disaster occurred in the build
ing devoted to loading shrapnel with
black powder, commonly known as
the base charge. The shrapnel made
in the building was three-inch shrap-
mel for the Russian government. There
were 10000 pieces of shrapnel in the
building.
I'VE will make a complete investi-
cation as rapidly as possible. We can
not understand how it could possibly
have happened accidentally.
There were three explosions, it
appears, in rapid succession, with
about ten seconds between the first
and last explosion.
Plant Well Designed
THE plant has been inspected by
the best experts in the country, and
been pronounced exceptionally well
designed in every respect In the de-
sign and construction of the build
ings, accidents were virtually eliminat-
ed from the list of possibilities"
Ignition by dropping Is exceedingly
remote" said Captain William M. Will
helm, the general manager and vice.
president of the plant, commenting on
the theory that a shell, accidentally
dropped, might have caused the ex-
plosion. BLACK powder, of the kind
loaded into the shrapnel shells. will
by friction. For that reason no per-
son was permitted in the destroyed
building except with rubber-soled
shoes.
Guards at Every Door
There were guards at every door
and nobody could enter the building
without passing the inspection of that
guard. Secret service men also work
ed among the employees within the
building to see that all safety rules
were observed"
President Vauclain said the families
of those killed and injured would be
provided for by the company.
Replying to a rumor that the An
glo-French commission had taken
over the stock of the Eddystone COM
pany, Mr.. Johnson declared there was
nothing in it. THE stock of the Ed
dystone is all in American hands," he
said.

Start Street Repairs
in Downtown District

After delay of weeks because no
supply of sand could be obtained, re-
pair work on the many holes in the
city streets was started to-day.
Highway Commissioner Lynch has
started work in the downtown section
and will rush repairs on the streets
which are in worst condition. No
further delay is expected.
Work of surfacing Swatara street
between Eighteenth and Twentieth
streets, will probably be started in a
few days. Other plans include paw
ing in the West End district; and in
Chestnut street, between Nineteenth
and Twentieth streets.
AS the funds for paving street in
tersections are almost exhausted,
Commissioners Lynch said, it is not
probable that anything will be done
in connection with the proposed paw
ing of Cameron street. between Herr
and Maclay streets.
