Flour Mills Begin
Manufacture of New
Mixed Bread Product

Philadelphia. Jan. 24.-George c.
Shane, vice-president of a corpora
tion which operates a large flour mill
in this city and ten others in Min
nesota, Kansas and Wisconsin,, an
nounced to-day that his company
has decided to begin supplying at
once mixture of -four made of COM
blnatons of wheat and barley. wheat
and rye and wheat and corn in about
the proportions required to maintain
a uniform mixture until the next
harvest in July and August.
I'VE realize there will not be
enough wheat flour to last the coun-
try until next harvest time" said
Mr.. Shane. Rather than grind all
the wheat -four now and later have
to depend on substitutes entirely, we
have decided to begin at once fur
nishing these mixtures"

Roosevelt Accepted
Head of G. o. P.

Washington, jan. 24.-The Re-
publicans have a leader and he is
Theodore Roosevelt. Two days OF
conference between Colonel Roose-
Welt and important leaders in Con-
gress have, in the opinion of observ-
ers, served to demonstrate this be-
yond serious question. 1t is the one
outstanding feature in the interest
ing situation that has been brought
about by the extraordinary develop
ments of the last few days.
If the enthusiastic comments OF
some of the men who have attended
these conferences, men who fought
Colonel Roosevelt in the past, are
any criterion, Colonel Roosevelts
counsel in the critical days the
country appears to be facing
is to be a controlling one with
the Republicans in Congress, and his
voice is to be more potent than at
any time since the split occurred six
years ago. With remarkable unani-
nifty these leaders, from what was
said to-day, appear to have accepted
Colonel Roosevelts guidance and
party plans are being shaped accord
ingly.

Opposition is Heard
When Burleson's Name
Is Submitted to Senate
By Associated Press

Washington, Jan. 24.-President
Wilson to-day sent to the Senate a
denomination of Postmaster Cen
eral Burleson.
This action was taken because of
law which stipulates that the
Postmaster General shall not hold
after the end of the term for which
he was appointed. None of the
other members has been renominat-
ed but it is contended that it is not
necessary.
The unusual situation was brought
about by a recent agitat ton con-
tending that all holdover members
of the Cabinet were in office le-
gally. Except in the cast of the
Postmaster General he adminstra-
ton contends no denomination is
necessary.
The Senate Immediately went into
Burleson's denomination. There
were rumblings of opposition.

OLD HOME TOWN
HAILSLUFBERY
..,
WaIlingford, Conn, Plans a
Royal Welcome to Aviator
Who Visited Widely

New York. Jan. 1.-THE recent
account of the narrow escape of
Major Gervais Raoul Lufbery, prem
ier ace or the Lafayette Escadrille,
when he landed uninjured after his
engine had been put out of COM
mission and his plane riddled with
bullets in a fight with four German
hiers, adds another chapter to the
already illustrious career of one of
Americas greatest aviators. Time
after time since the beginning of the
war Major Lufbery has fought sue
cessfully against superior numbers
and he is now credited with bring
ing down fifteen enemy airplanes
officially, and a number of his vic
Tins who fell within their own lines
have not been counted in the total.
AS a reward for his extreme dar-
ing he now wears the Cross of the
Legion of Honor, the French mill
tary medal, the Cross of War and
the British military medal.
And the little town of Walling-
ford, Conn, hitherto unknown in the
geography of war events, is planning
a royal welcome to Major Lufbery
when he returns from Paris, for, in
a letter to his father recently, he
promised to return in a few weeks
for a visit.
Wallingford is not only proud of
the aviator because he placed its
name on the map, but because he
has acknowledged it as his home
town, the one place in all his globe
trotting career which he has called
by that name. 1t was in this little
town he learned his first trade, that
of a metal artifcer. He stuck to
this trade for two years, "the long
est time he's ever spent at any one
work or business" as his father re-
marked.
Was Born i'm France
Young Lufbery speaks with de-
cided French accent, although his
father is English. This Is Accounted

NO TRESPASSERS
PENNSY ORDERS
May Create Barred Zones in
This City Similar to
Those at Altoona

In line with action of the police
department at Altoona, it is prob
able that orders will be shortly is
sued providing for barred zones on
Pennsylvania railroad property in
this city and vicinity. Referring to
the Altoona restrictions Paul l..
Barclay, captain of police of the
Philadelphia division, said:
"A long time ago restrictions were
placed on outsiders who cannot visit
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad property
without authority. Everybody who
asks permission to visit the local
shops and yards are given close ex-
animation. While the work here is
not as important as that at Altoona,
local conditions reduire close watch
1ng, and everything possible is be-
ing done to keep suspicious out
siders from getting on railroad prop
erty.
Officers Are Active
We have a goodly number of Of
hcers on duty day and night, and
trespassers have been very few. The
yards are given special attention at
night and all empty boNcars exam
ined hourly. officers are on the
move at all times. Watchmen at the
gates prevent any person from get
ting inside unless they have permis-
sion.
LAS | said, there may not be any
special reason just now to create 4
barred zone in this city and at Enola
and Marysville, but l believe it
would be a good thing if restrictions
would be made stronger. | think the
Bethlehem Steel Company has the
right idea in tagging all employees.
There should be some means for
recognizing employees at a glance"

DANGER OF COAL
FAMINE HELD UP,
MIR. HICKOK SAYS
Situation Here Is Better Than
1t Was One Week
Ago %

The coal shortage was declared by
Ross A. Hickok, fuel administrator,
this morning, to be slightly better
than last week, although the ship
ments of anthracite coal into the
city yesterday We're disappointing to
the fuel administrator. Twelve cars
of anthracite, or about $40 tons, an
rived over the Pennsylvania lines
yesterday. About eighteen cars OF
bituminous coal arrived at the same
time, Mr.. Hickok said
1t was announced this morning
that the Reading Coal ard Iron
Company had discovered Harrisburg
again. Six cars of anthracite were
I sent to dealers in the Hill district
yesterday These few cars, dealers
declared, will be swallowed up be-
fore the day is over in hundreds OF
orders already taken.
While eighteen cars of anthracite
day is not enough to prevent con-
siderable discomfort in the city,
danger of aNeal fuel famine has
iNN''''NN h'i 1ilS llihGs uCdltlS ods
Their offices are still besieged by
| more orders for coal than they can
possibly care for, and there is still
suffering in some portions of the
city. Mr.. Hickok said this morning,
that while he had made the an
nouncement yesterday that the sit
uation was better still conditions
were by no means normal. and the
shortage will continue for awhile.
Up to the Reading
Mr.. Hickok said this morning that
the shipments over the Pennsylva-
MIA during the last few days have
represented a fair tonnage and will
prevent acute suffering. If the Read
ing Coal and Iron Company furnishes
dozen cars a day, Hill dealers will
be taken care OF, and danger of a
| famine will be passed.
The Fuel Investigating Bureau, at
the Chamber of Commerce office, is
the barometer of the coal situation
in Harrisbur. With the arrival of
better coal shipments the last three
days than has been received in the
past, the number of calls received at
that office has been only half as many
as previously. Only fifteen were re-
ceived until noon to-day. During the
worst part of the shortage, as high
as 400 were received in day.
Opinions among officials of large
harrisburg utilities companies in
the city, regarding the benefit. de-
rived from the five-day closing or
| der differed to-day. 1t was said at
the Central Iron and Steel Company
that the end of the five days did not
| find them any better supplied with
coal than before. They received a
few cars. of bituminous, they said,
! but not any more than was consumed
| in their blast furnaces and in keep
ing their pipes hot.
c. M. Kaltwasser, general manager
of the Harrisburg Light and Power
! Company, said that his heating plant
did not receive any large amount of
! fuel diverted during the five-day
period. The situation at the power
plant is improved, he said.
1t is understood that an amount
of bituminous coal was diverted
from original consignees for the
benefit of the Harrisburg Railways
Company, to relieve their shortage
| of bituminouS.
