New Passenger Fares to
Be Based on Mileage

tween railroads is going to result in
an important readjustment of pas
senger fares throughout the United
States. Passenger rate clerks repre-
senting roads in various parts of the
country have been at work in Wash
ington this week for the purpose of
compiling a nationwide table of dis
tances as the foundation for a plan
of basing passenger fares mainly on
mileage without regard to the com
petitive conditions under which the
rates have been made by the short
line between any two points, regard
less of the distance in many cases.
This will result in many increases in
fares for travel via circuitous routes,
For example the rates from Chicago
to Pacific coast points have been in
general the same via southern routes
or northern routes as via the direct
lines but under the new plan the rate
will be proportionately higher for
the longer route. 1t is not proposed
TO adhere rigidly to the mileage plan
but rates will be made the same via
different routes which are of ap-
proMmately the same length, as, for
example, in the case of lines between
Chicago and New York.

ing lists. The Mayor this afternoon
accepted an invitation to attend the
meeting of the realty board.
"If the conditions as called to
my attention exists and l have no
reason to doubt the accuracy of the
reports" said the Mayor, 'it would
be a disgrace to the city to permit
them to continue"
The Mayor called attention to the
fact that the federal authorities
have been calledupon to correct SIM
iliar evils in other districts. where
government work has caused a rapid
increase in population, and that
whatever steps are necessary would
be taken here.
Those back of the movement
were much pleased when they
learned of the activities of the Real
Estate Board and the intention of
that organization to publish the lists
of owners and go thoroughly into
the matter.
One of the letters received by the
Mayor alleged that advantage was
being taken OF the fact that several
of the renters have members of
their families in the war service
and are without their natural de-
tenders. Another letter asks How
in the name of God can we do our
part in the Third Liberty Loan
when bunch of robbers are forcing
the roofs from our heads?p

WEST END A.C.
in OPENING GAME
Great Battle Expected With
st. Mary's, of Steelton, Next
Saturday at Seneca Street

The West End Athletic Associa-
ton of this city, under management
of C. j. Householder, will open the
1918 season this Saturday on their
field at Fourth and Seneca streets,
with the strong st. Mary's Club, of
Steelton. This same club opened
the season last year and gave West
End an awful clubbing.
A number of new faces will be
seen in the West End lineup to re-
place the men now in the service of
Uncle Sam. 1t is thought that
"Snowbalp Winters, West End
favorite may twirl this game. He
leaves on May to join the En-
gineers Corps.
Others in the service are Scotty
Knight, catcher; Lefty Challenger,
pitcher; Ben Kline, catcher; Harry
Beam, outtielder, along with Winters
and Jimmy Russell, who has been
selected for service and expects to
leave about May IA. All these play
ers were valuable and considered the
best in amateur circles. The man
agement will try hard to replace
them with Honey Garverich, a
sou,hpaw. with Hagerstown last
year; Kililnger, Rosewood's main
stay behind the bat. formerly of the
New Cumberland Central Pennsyl-
vania League champions; Embick,
the captain of the New Cumberland
team; Bud Lingle, of Technical
High; Earl Walz, of Enola, the
only twirler to defeat West End last
year.
After reorganizing along these
lines the association intends to give
baseball fans the best brand of ball
possible.

cause of its excellent railroad facili-
ties, for our store houses must be
within quick communication with
the seaboard, open to the Atlantic
coast. AT present there is authorized
but $2,000,000 for this construction,
but we expect to have this increased
to $7,000,000 or $8,000,000. Clothing
and food will be stored here, no ord
nance, as at Middletown. We bought
500 acres in all, some of which we
may not need, but the farmers main
tanned that we had taken the heart
of their farms and that they thought
we should therefore make a clean
sweep, for the property would be
, useless to them. This seemed rea-
cleansweep.
To Employ Several Thousand
"At this moment we have about
l 900 men at work and within a few
weeks there will be two or three
thousand more here. Barracks are
going up at a lively rate, we have
switch and siding due to the as
sistance of the Pennsylvania rail-
road. This company got authority
from Washington to put in the
switch and to put in q siding along
their own tracks, and in twelve
hours the work was started. Result
is we have not had any detention,
and 1 look to see everything whiz
along.
I'VE have barracks for 400 men
and of course are putting up moro
barracks. The great buildings will
measure 160X125 feet, with concrete
| floors, platforms and foundations
and brick walls, inside wood and
composite"
This this plant is to be perma-
nent?" was asked.
ITO be sure. This nation can never
again allow herself to be unprotect-
ed am not speaking for Washing
ton now; that's my own belief.
Nevertheless, this Marsh Run plant
is being put up to stay and a city
will soon mark the former location
of dozen farms The sprinkler syS-
structures, we are now building a
steam heat plant which will heat
MANY of the houses.
ITO precisely explain our location
/ might say this plant is one and a
half miles from the Cumberland end
of the bridge between New Cumber-
land and Marsh Run. We have taken
the Skunk farmhouse TO Temporary
Offices, put in electric lights, tele-
pIlOilCt lulllDSl anu Juliet raw IldlCl
ials are arriving on time; we are
laying railroad, putting up tempor-
ary buildings and I do not antici-
pate any difficulties in completing the
plant in good time"
Major Morava is one of the most
interesting military men who have
visited Harrisburg during the war.
He was born in Bohemia, near
Prague, and he says that the Bo-
hemians have a real hatred for Ger
mans, partly because they. have long
been trying to force them to speak
German, in one instance numbering
a couple of citizens for their mutiny.
He came over to this country when
quite young and settled in Chicago
when it was a wild western town.
He can see no way of accepting
Germany on peace terms which he
thinks she will likely be soon offer

MORE ENGINES
FOR UNCLE SAM
Railroad Board Ready With
Contracts For Locomotives;
Baldwin Gets Part

Washington. D. c., May Com
tracts for 1925 freight and passen-
ger locomotives, the largest single
order ever placed IN the history of
American railways, were let yester-
day by the Railroad Administration
to the American Locomotive Com
pany and the Baldwin Locomotive
Works. The entire order represents
a cost of about $50, 100000 or an
average price of a little less than
100000 for each locomotive. The
profit to the manufacturers, who
will divide the work about equally,
will be between 5 and per cent,
less than half the rate of profit rep
resented in the original bids.
Six newly developed standard
types of engines, with heavy and
light sizes of each type, were
ordered. Deliveries will begin in
July and continue through the year,
and most of the new engines, it is
understood, will be assigned to East
ern roads, where the shortage of
motive power is greatest. They will
bear only the initial "U. S." and
identifying numbers, and will be
virtually the first lot of engines to
pO O"hCu JOlnIlS ny All TdllFOauS un-
der government management. About
100000 tons of steel will be required
and the War Industries Board has
allotted the full quota of steel to the
Railroad Administration.
Although the Railroad Admins
tration declined to announce the
precise number of engines ordered
from each of the companies, it is
understood the American company
will build $50 and the Baldwin
Works ATS. Most of the Baldwin
engines VIII be built at the main
plant at Philadelphia and the Amer
lean company's order will be dis
tributed among its plants at Schen-
ectady, N. Y; Dunkirk. N. Y, Pat
erson, N. j., Richmond, Va, Man.
chester, VT, Pittsburgh and Provi-
dence. The order will compel the
two companies to operate practically
at capacity for the next nine months.
Contracts will be announced to-
morrow for construction of about
10000 freight cars at an aggregate
cost of probably $500, 600, 900, to
supplement the orders for 10000
placed last week.

TENNIS AND GOLF
SEASONS TO OPEN
Grant Forrer Promises That
Courts and Reservoir Links
Will Be Ready on Saturday

If the weather keeps favorable,
next Saturday will see the revival OF
tennis and golf in Harrisburg, for
v. Grant Forrer. the park master,
believed to-day that everything will
be ready by then for the spring
opening. Never before was the task
so difficult to get things shaped up.
because of tho shortage of labor and
the uncommonly bad weather, and
Mr.. Forrer deserves greatest credit
for his surprising industry. No one
thought the tennis courts would be
MT to play on inside of several
weeks.
The announcement means that a
total of twenty-three courts will be
thrown open to the public. certainly
a good number for q city of this
caliber. as follows: Reservoir, eight /;
Sycamore. four; Twelfth street, six
Emerald, two, and the Island, three.
The Island courts were in particu-
larly bad shape, backstops had been
ruined. falling trees torres down the
side screening and the clay floor was
ripped up in channels by the. hard
rains. Reservoir Park courts were
dreds of deep heelmarks made by
outlaws who chose to run over the
playground in the winter.
simultaneously with tennis. the
golf season will be unleashed at
Reservoir Park and golfers will find
the old links in magnificent condi-
tion. This year sees a new man in
charge, replacing Steward McEwan,
whose death was so sadly deplored
by hundreds of golfers whom he had
taught the game. Curiously~ enough,
the new man. Robert Fairbairn, a
genuine Scotchman, came from the
same small town as McEwan and
they were boyhood friends. Fair
bairn last instructed in Chicago and
he is one of the top-notch, all
around golf efficients in this coun-
try.
Little remained this morning to be
done to have the links in perfect
shape, and they who love this pas
time will rejoice that Grant Forrer
has had tee No. l sodded, as we'll as
other former clay tees. This change
from yellow clay to green turf at
the tees greatly enhances the charm
of the links. Incidentally, the course
has been heightened 500 yards and
so Reservoir links will stack up with
any in the vicinity now.

SHORTSTOP CRANE
LOST TO STEELTON
Manager Cockill Tried Hard
to Keep Him but He Signs
With Atlanta

Sam Crane. shortstop, will play
the 1918 season with the Atlanta,
Ga. team. He leaves Harrisburg to-
night to join the Georgia team at
Mobile, Ala. Last night Crane re-
ceived a telegram from Manager F.
H. Frank, to report at once. The
terms were satisfactory and Crane
agreed. He is to get a nice bonus for
consenting to Clark Griffith's ar
rangement to play in Atlanta.
Crane has been home since last
Friday. coming here from Cincin-
natl. Griffith had been on his trail
for three days. He learned from
Matthewson that Crane had left Gin
cinnati for his home here and
caught the shortstop at Pittsburgh
by long distance telephone. Crane was
advised of Griffiths move to transfer
him to Georgia, but would not give
an immediate answer. He told Grif-
fifth over the sizzling wires he was
coming home, that he didn't propose
to warm the bench in Cincinnati. So
home he came. Griffith caught him
on the telephone a half dozen times.
Crane was tentatively sold to Gin
cinnati by Griffith early in the sea-
son. If he made good as first string
shortstop Cincinnati would pay Grif-
fith's price. He flelded like a streak
of fire, but Matthewson reckoned
he didn't have enough hits against
big pitchers and advised Griffith he
would be glad to keep Crane as
utility infielder.
Crane warmed the bench and
Griffith got busy with Atlanta. Early
last evening he agreed to meet Grif-
fifth and at 10 o'clock last night
terms were agreed upon between
Griffith, Atlanta and Crane and he
agreed to report at once. Cockhill
tried hard to have Crane remain at
home and play for Steelton, but to no
avail.
