Reading Engineer Dies
to Save Passengers on
Speeding Express Train
Bv Associated Press

Philadelphia, July 30.-William F.
Leiby, of Port Carbon, engineer of a
Reading express, speeding toward
this city, sacrificed his life to
save the passengers on the train
to-day. The flyer, which was due at
the Reading Terminal at 1850 a. M,
was derailed near Linfield, five miles
below Pottstown.
John j. Settlemoyer, fireman,
Schuylkill Haven, died on the way to
the Pottstown Hospital. He was
pinned beneath the wrecked locomo-
tive for more than a half hour. John
Ritzen, the baggagemaster, was
slightly hurt. Some forty passeng-
ers riding in the forward coaches
were cut and bruised, but none seri-
ously hurt, according to latest re-
ports.
Passengers say that but for Leiby's
courage, the death list would have
been high.
The accident was caused by
spreading rails and Leiby when he
felt the rails going. jammed on the
emergency brakes and stuck to his
post. In this way the speed of the
train was slackened so that only
the locomotive, tender and the first
two coaches left the rails. These,
however, overturned,

Poor Board Seeks Means
to Compel Gas Company to
Extend Mains to Almshouse

Members of the Board of Poor
Directors of Dauphin county to-day
filed a complaint against the Har-
risburg Gas Company alleging that
the company refuses to extend It's
gas mains from Derry street to the
county almshouse. The Poor Direc-
tors state that the gas company has
refused to extend the main a dis
tance of LOO feet to the poor farm
unless the poor board pays $500 for
the extension or agrees to pay $40
a month perpetually to cover the
cost of the extension and strvice.
In the complaint the Poor Direc-
tors state that the board is a pub
lie charitable institution and that
they consider it unwise and mex
pedient to bind their successors in
office to any future payment as sug-
gested by the gas company through
the monthly payment agreement.
They further state that the appro-
priation to the poor district will not
justify the expenditure of $3.50 OF
any sum to pay for the extension Of
the gas service. They ask the Pub
lie Service Commission to order the
gas company to render the service
asked for.

SUMMER TYPHOID
Turks IN WATER
AT MANY RESORTS
Vacationists Warned Against
Contracting Disease While
Enjoying Annual Outings

With hundreds of residents of the
city about to go on vacations within
the next few weeks, DR.. ]. M. J.
Raunick, city health officer, to-day
warned them to inquire about the
water supply at the resorts at which
more.
IF you are not sure about the
water supply, no matter where you
go-to seashore, resort or the coun-
try-boil all the water used for
drinking purposes. Don't take
chances and come back to the city
with a case of typhoid fever and
suffer an illness of six to eight
weeks or more" the health officer
warned.
DR.. Raunick has some other hints
for vacationists, which, he says, will
be big factor in making them
come back to their work feeling re-
freshed and full of vigor. The ad-
vice he gives follows:
Don't keep late hours. Get plenty
of sleep and rest while you are
away. Don't do too much dancing.
Exercise, but do not overexert
yourself.
Don't overeat. and be sure to eat
the right kinds of foods for hot
weather. Plenty of fruit, not too
much meat nor starchy foods.
If you get a chance, chop some
wood; it's the best kind of exer-
else.
Don't drink water or soft drinks
that are too cold.

Punished
EFFECTIVE IN TEN DAYS
Marketers Asked to Report
Violations TO Mayors
Office
Effective IN TEN DAYS

The Harrisburg police depart
ment will extend itself to the limit
to enforce the forestalling ordinance
passed yesterday by City Council.
Mayor Keister is authority for the
statement that no efforts will be
spared by the police force in the
enforcement of this ordinance, who
it is hoped will aid materially i'll
reducing the cost of products sold
in the city markets.
Various plans are now being con-
sidered by Mayor Keister to pro-
vide for the effective enforcement
of the measure. Just what plan will
be finally decided on now is some-
what indefinite, he said to-day.
People to Aid
Plain clothesmen will be detailed
by police officials to visit the va
rious markethouses, with instruc-
tions to make arrests in every case
where circumstances may warrant
This plan, which appears to be es-
pecially feasible, may be adopted.
1t is not altogether certain that this
method will be used to secure the
enforcement of the ordinance, how
ever.
Instructions will be issued to all
members of the force, whether es-
pecially detailed on this particular
phase of work or not, to pay par-
ticular attention to violators of the
ordinance and to make explicit re-
ports in all such cases to police of
ficials.
THE marketers must report every
semblance of violation to the police
department, if the ordinance is T.
be effectively enforced he said.
The greater the number of people
on the lookout for violators, TIL
less will be the chance of any o.
them escaping without punishment
the Mayor said. He intimated tina
more depends on the people for tn
successful enforcement of the or
dinance than it does on the polio :
department.

PLAN PERSONAL SERVICE

Harrisburg to-day was named
headquarters for one of the new
internal revenue divisions Commits
sioner Daniel c. Roper announced
to-day. Suboffices also will be es-
tablished in Carlisle, Mechanicsburg,
Middletown, Millerstown, Steelton,
Chambersburg Waynesboro, Leba-
non, Newport and Lewistown.
Deputy collectors will be stationed
at each of these points.
The entire internal revenue serV-
ice in Pennsylvania is being rear
ranged. The old Ninth district of
which Dauphin county was part
has been consolidated with the Phil
adelphia district. Philadelphia has
been selected for general headquar-
ters for the southeastern part of the
State and clerical and accounting
work will be done there in the GEN.
trail offices.
Means Better Service
Commissioner Roper in state
ment issued to-day declares that the
new arrangement will bring the
revenue service closer to the people.
Division and subdivision offices will
be open at all times to serve as per-
sonal service stations to taxpayers.
This service probably will be of
immense benefit to taxpayers who
now are in need of advice because
of the far-reaching effect of the in
come tax laws.
The general plan now provides
for the establishment of headquar-
ters for the ten divisions in the fol-
lowing cities: Philadelphia, Har-
risburg, Lancaster, Chester, Nor
ristown. Allentown, Pottsville, AL
toona and York.
Many SubStationS
A subdivision Office Offering the
same facilities for serving taxpayers
will be established at Shenandoah.
In addition when this plan is un-
der full headway zone deputies will
be stationed for the first week of
every month in every city having
over 5000 population in the dis
trict, as we'll as many other cities
and towns which now have no rep
resentative of the revenue service.
The zone deputy will spend the re-
mainder of the month in surround
ing territory, usually one or two
counties.
A similar extension of the reve-
nue. service is shortly to be made in
each of the Scranton and Pittsburgh
districts. The reorganization of the
internal revenue service in Pennsyl-
vania is part of a general program
being carried out by Commissioner
Roper to unity and expand the reve-
nue. service so that it may more
intelligently serve the growing needs
of the great number of Federal tax
payers.

State Health Commissioner
AStoniShed at Conditions
Found in Harrisburg
CALLS ON CITY COUNCIL
Ordinance Correcting Evil
Should Be Passed at Once,
Says Colonel Martin

Astonishment at the condition of
garbage collection in this city was
expressed to-day by Colonel Edward
NJ. Martin, State health commits
sioner. Absolutely filthy conditions
are in evidence all over the city on
account of the neglect of house
holders to provide suitable recep-
tacles for the kitchen offal.
He suggests that in the next meet
ing of the City Council, which takes
place Tuesday, action should be
taken and an ordinance passed COM
pelling collection. Garbage pals
standing about without covers are
a dangerous menace to the city, and
it is of no avail to have fly swatting
contests and investigations of health
conditions if no effort is made to
take care of the removal of gar
bage The Commissioner added.
Martins Suggestions
Colonel Martin sald in part:
Concerning the garbage question
there have been many complaints
regarding it's collection. Doubtless
there have been times when the col
lections have been tardy. The basic
trouble lies in the failure on the
part of the citizens to provide prop
er covered receptacles for the re-
ception and temporary storage OF
the garbage until the garbage is re-
moved. The need of such recepta-
cles is obvious and the provision is
fundamental for any adequate
health administration.
Cost Not Material
Garbage deposited in a heap
dropped in a damaged peach basket
or placed in a paper box is difficult
to collect nor can those charged
with this duty be expected to make
proper collection under such cir.
cumstances. There is no ordinance
requiring that proper receptacle!
hold. There was a penal clause
which has been abolished. There
fore the ordinance is ineffective
against the only class for whom
ordinances are needful. The argu
ment that these receptables cos
! money should not obtain. This is
contribution which every citizel
should make for the general good
| In case of absolute poverty mean
for help will probably not be diff
cult to find.
THE garbage can is one of tn,
essentials to the proper health of tn,

other decencies and essentials tn,

| reasonable. The City Council meet
next Tuesday and has full power t.

, the public at large. The need TO

| and imperative, as does its strict en-
| forcement."

Spreads Over City
Bitter fighting between whites and
negroes spread during the night to
nearly all parts of Chicago with
serious injuries to many, but the
city authorities early to-day had not
called on State troops for aid. Gov
ernor Frank o. Lowden hesitated
to order the soldiers to take charge
of the city, although with the ar
rival to-day of two more regiments,
5000 men were resting on their
arms ready to quell the disturb
ances instantly.
The list of dead had reached 27
and the number of injured nearly
thousand since the beginning of the
race riots last Sunday. During the
night, men slashed each others
throats, shot their enemies from
ambush, ran down isolated negroes
and beat them into insensibility, and
burned and looted houss.
Two More Regiments
The Ninth regiment from the
southern part of the State and the
Tenth from Central Illinois rushed
toward Chicago to-day to add their
rifles and machine guns to the po-
tential army already here.
The police strove to clear the
rioters from the South Side negro
quarter and early last night appar-
emily succeeded, only to learn that
the mob spirit fled to other regions.
on the North Side lighting pro-
ceeded for several hours, and in
the residential districts known as
Woodlawn and Englewood on the far
South Side fierce fighting took place.
AS the oVerworked police force
dashed to those quarters, several
miles from the center of the war,
the smoldering flames of anarchy
burst forth anew in the black belt.

CHICAGO CALMING
DOWN
By Associated Press.

Chicago, July 30.-Comparative
calm marked this mornings sit
uation in the Chicago race war.
No serious outbreaks had been
reported, the sporadic fights
were few and mostly between in
dividuals and in only one in
stance were police compelled to
shoot. In that case a negro was
killed while resisting search by
two patrolmen.
With the lull in rioting the po-
lice took stock. They checked
the Coroner's official death list of
twenty-six and said that was COM
plete. They also found that the
list of injuries reported to them
had increased to 325. The Off
cial death list of twenty-six in
cluded a dozen whites and four
teen negroes. No women or
children were dead, but scores of
them have been hurt.
