When the complaint against ser
vice on Harrisburg railway lines
filed by c. f. Quinn was taken up
by the Public Service Commission
this afternoon, Arthur Rupley, coun-
sci for the complainant, asked the
commission for a subpoena to per-
nit an accountant to go over the
books of the railways company in
an effort to confirm certain of the
allegations to be presented.
Attorney Charles l.. Bailey. of the
firm Of Wolfe & Bailey. counsel for
the railways company, at once asked
who it was proposed to employ for
the purpose and stated that he
would seriously object to any but
q regular certified expert accountant
going over the books. This matter
was then taken under consideration
by the commission.
The first witness was Charles
Sherlock, for the complainants. He
made the sensational statement that
about one-fourth of the fares col

BERLIN STOPS ONE PLAN
By Associated Press

London. Dec. 23.-William Ho-
henzollern has arranged for himself
Christmas celebration after the
traditional German style, as far as
the circumstances will permit, ac-
cording to n dispatch to the Daily
Express from Amsterdam to-day.
The arrangements, by the eX-emper-
or's insistence, will include elaborate
religious ceremonies on Christmas
eve. The idea of using the village
chapel for these, however, has prov
ed impracticable for various reasons,
one of them being the fear of pop
ular hostile demonstrations. The
service. accordingly. will be held in
the drawingroom of Amerongen cas-
tie, which will be converted into a
chapel.
The ex-emperor desired to have
the court chaplain. DR.. Ernest Won
Dryander come from Berlin to
preach the sermon at the Christmas
eve ceremony. but the Berlin gov
ernment. the dispatch says, has re-
fused permission for the chaplain to
go to Holland. The service, conse-
quently,, will be conducted by Ger
man missionary from Zeist. near
Amerongen, but Herr Hohenzollern
himself will deliver the sermon.
Many friends of Count Won. Ben
timex, the former emperor's host,
have been asked to attend the service
the dispatch adds, but have refused
the invitation. The former rulers
audience, therefore, will consist of
Count Won Bentinck and his fam
lily, the eX-emperor's suite and the
servants of the castle.
Christmas trees will be provided
as usual for the celebration. Herr
Hohenzollern cut these down him
self. with the help of two men of
the estate. in the Amerongen pine
woods. The trees are now being
decorated and loaded with gifts.

Harrisburg is now in the midst of
one of its biggest Christmas rushes.
Clerks who on Saturday worked
through one of the biggest days in
the citys history, were this morning
again back at their counters ready
to issue countless numbers of gifts
to late buyers.
While thousands of delightful pres

the family during the closing days
of last week, the counters still ap-
peared we'll laden this morning.
Postal employees are in the midst
of the flood of the incoming pack
ages now. The flow of gift pack
ages from Harrisburg was consider
ably lessened to-day, but this was
counterbalanced by the receipt of
hundreds of incoming bundles. Lit
tie delay is occa stoned in their de-
livery.

PENNSYLVANIA
HAS HAD FEW NEW
CARSSINCE 1917
Congestion of Passenger Traf-
fic No Fault of Company,
Ii Is Explained

The Pennsylvania Railroad is try
ing to handle greatly increased pas
senger traffic with an equipment that
mas not been increased much since
1910 That is the cause of the pres
ent passenger congestion, particu-
larry in the larger cities where su-
burban tIavel is being delayed. 1t
VIII be only short time until Har-
risburg feels the stress even more
than 1t has during the holiday rush.
Nor is this the fault of the railroad
company. Owing to the war and the
inability of government control to
improve the situation during the
year of conflict, it has been impos-
sible for the railroad company to
get any new coaches and few new
engines.
To-day, as explaining conditions,
District Passenger Agent Norris s.
Longaler of this city, received the
following telegram from the gem
eral passenger agent of the Pennsyl-
vania
The present volume of regu-
lar travel exceeds by more than
so per cent. the passenger traf-
fic handled in 1917, and we are
compelled to care for ii with
practically the same equipment.
In addition ass coaches are used
daily for workmen to ship build
ing and munition plants. We
are also carrying outside of the
regular furlough travel approx
mately 5000 discharged soldiers
every day. The Federal manager
and the regional director are
making every effort to procure
additional equipment from other
roads. There is considerable
congestion which will undoubt-
edly be aggravated and criti-
cisms of the service will neces-
sarily arise.

YOUR HEALTH
Tuberculosis Il.
By ANDREW F. GURRIER. MD.

These three types will serve the
present purposes Of classifieali0ns
The first type usually occurs in
children and young adults, the tuber-
eles growing rapidly and abundantly
il all portions Of the body Or in
one or two Of the organs.
It usually begins in the lungs or
lymphatic glands, spreads rapidly,
and is over in three to six weeks.
It is sometimes mistaken for ty-
phOid fever. Another form is linn
tied mainly to the lungs and a third
to The membranes of the brain,
yelling the terrible picture OF tub
circular meningitis, so fatal to little
children
The second type is the one which
Is Sc familiar in every portion Of
ths Inhabited globe, pTopagated not
only by human beings, but by ami
specially cattle.
The lungs are most frequently
and chiefly involved in this form of
the disease.
It attacks. preferably, those whose
bodies are weak or have a tendency
TO disease; those who are at the be-
ginning Of maturity or at the end
Of chiid-bearing; those who have just
given birth to q child, or who are
nursing one, or who are weakened
by exposure, grief, worry, shame or
some other emotion; those who live
In unhygienic surroundings; and
those who have been dissipated and
given to excess
Common symptoms are: frequent
and severe colds, cough and expec-
toraiiOn, eAills. fever, rapid pulse,
sTeating, indigestion, weakness and
eulaciz1On. hoarse or metallic voice.
enSsmia- haemoTrhage and dia-
rrh0ea
Such people often have very bright
eyeS, bulbOus inger-ends and curved
nails, they are flat-chested. and their
breathing Is shallow and rapid.
They get better and worse. accord
ing to their situation and the con
ditiOn Of treatment
Finally, there is no more rallying
and they lie down and die.
An X-ray picture is often desir-
able in such cases. and the sputUm
should be frequently examined; but
failure to find the baciIli does not
necessarily mean that tuberculosis
Is not present.
There are appropriate tests for
this disease involving the skin. eve,
etc, and there are other diseases
