GALLEY WEST GO
16DWELLINGS AS
BIG TRUCK HITS
Frame Row Knocked Out of
Plumb in Queer
Accident

A heavy truck nearly wrecked a
whole row of frame houses in Gran
ite street. when a big machine
crashed against the corner house at
Granite and Logan and pushed the
entire row of 16 dwellings, out OF
plumb.
While the storm was at its height
yesterday, and the thunder rolled
continuously, Mrs. Charles Favinger,
who resides at 321 Granite street. on
the corner of Logan, was on the sec
ond floor rearranging some furni-
ture. Looking out of the window
she saw a truck of the Pennsylvania
Milk Products Company bearing rap
idly down Logan street. A second
later there was tremendous crash
and Mrs. Favinger was tossed across
the room by the shock which rocked
the whole building. She ran down.
stairs and going out the back way.
discovered the truck wrapped around
the corner of her home. Then she
took inventory of the damage.
The house had been bodily shifted
more than eight inches on it's foun-
shifted and strained at odd angles,
the front windows and door were
jammed so tightly that they could
not be opened, the plaster was crack
ed in innumerable places, the piano
was thrown half way across the
front room and nearly overturned,
but strangely enough not a single
pane of glass was broken. No win
dow in the entire row was broken.
Mrs. Lizzie Hitner, an old woman Of
"a years who has been an invalid for
over two years was thrown out of
bed by the shock and sustained a
badly bruised arm. She is living
with the family of George Durbrow
at 323 Granite street. The houses of
Andrew Johnson, Miss Mary Neck
Jacob Boyd, Mrs. May Harris, George
Kochenauer and numerous others
adjoining the favinger home were
pushed all out of joint by the violent
thrust of the truck. Here and there
loose weatherboarding. windows at
an angle, broken front steps, and
loose shutters testify to the force
with which the machine must have
struck the house.
Sixteen houses away, Mrs. Albert
Cohen, at 339 Granite street felt the
shock and thought it lightning strik-
ing next door. Mrs. Cohen has been
i'll in bed and was very nervous af-
ter the accident.
It will take a great amount of work
to get the block back into line, as
every house has something the mat
ter with it, from 321. which was the
one moved eight inches, to the last
house, which stands at an angle
slightly different from that of "a
hours ago.

number of stores were broken open
and sacked.
Toward daylight the less aggres-
sive having been driven to cover,
worn out with fighting or jailed, a
number of white rioters invaded the
downtown quarter, beat negroes
found in the street and dragged
covering porters from all night
restaurants and hotels to the streets,
flogging them numerically.
Among those injured during the
night were three members of the
Seventh Regiment who were beset
by ngroes while on their way to
their armory. Corporal w. T. Riggs
was shot in the back; Charles T.
Williams was shot in the side and
]. \. Rinkus was slashd with a
razor.
Major Fred Haynes was found
probably fatally beaten, presumably
by negroes. An automobile con-

FORESTALLING IS
MADE PUNISHABLE
BY COUNCILS ACT
Ordinance Is Passed
After Discussion
of an Hour
DESIGNED TO
AID CONSUMER

After a discussion for more than
an hour with truck farmer from
York county, a city grocer and a
representative of organized labor,
City Council passed unanimously
this morning the ordinance prohibit
ing forestalling and price-fxing in
city markets.
The probable effect of the meas
ure on the supply of produce coming
TO the city markets was pointed to
by Commissioner c. w. Burtnett,
who said it may diminish the
amount of food being brought by
them for sale. but he assured the
other members of Council he would
do anything to help solve the prob
lem OF the high cost of living.
Three Make Protest
l.. Z. Hartman. grower residing
near Yocumtown, who has had a
stand at the Verbeke street market
for the last twenty-five years; H.
l.. Mclaughlin, of the Central Labor
Union, and William H. Uhler, a
grocer in North Sixth street, were
the only three persons to appear
before Council for a hearing on the
ordinance. The petition which
hucksters were said to be circulat-
ing was not presented.
Members of City Council declared
that they believed the measure
would help in meeting the forestall-
ing situation here and is a step for
ward in bringing down prices. They
said if the ordinance is shown to be
impractical it can either be amend
ed, repealed or new one prepar-
ed which will be satisfactory.
The Farmers Side

a suggestion which would give his

COOPERATION IN
BUYING OFFERED
follower COSTS
Use of Schoolhouses as Distri-
button Centers Suggested
as a Saving

Organization of an association for
cooperative buying and cooperative
distribution of food supplies is sug-
geSted by j. Horace Mcfarland,
president of the American Civic
Association, who calls attention to
the success of this plan in other
parts of the country.
Use the schoolhouses for dis
tributing centers and government
trucks for delivering the produce to
these places are details of this pro-
posed plan. That this would cause
a reduction in the price of food
and would afford the city a better
and higher grade supply is the pre-
diction made by Mr.. Mcfarland.
There are still those in the city who
hope to see the Mayors committee
put the smoked meats now at New
Cumberland on sale in this man
ner.
Another reason for the high prices
he said is the uncontrolled desire of
many buyers who purchase food re-
gardless of the price rather than do
without. By purchasing only neces-
stiles instead of recklessly spend
ing money the situation would soon
change he said.

1000 ARMED TROOPS ARE
HELPING OUELL CLASHES

Four thousand soldiers with full
war equipment stood ready to-day
to quell the race rioting between
negroes and whites that during two
nights of terror in the South Side
black belt cost the lives of at least
twenty men, including one negro
policeman and the injury of hun
dreds of others, many seriously and
probably a dozen fatally.
Four Soldiers Injured
Four of the injured are soldiers.
The police and the coroner have
been unable to make a complete
check of the casualties but reports
showed 19 killed last night, twelve
whites and seven negroes.
a hundred thousand negroes and
an equal number of whites either
fought in the streets and alleys or
covered in their homes while shots
were fired, mounted police galloped
along the boulevards, patrol wagons
dashed through the streets with
prisoners and wounded women and
children screamed as men fought
with cudgels, knives and fists.
When the rioting, which started
Sunday night with the stoning and
drowning of a negro who had drift
ed on a raft into the water of a
beach used by whites. broke out
afresh last night. Mayor Thompson
asked Governor Lowden for troops.
The governor who was on his way
to Lincoln, Neb., turned back at
Burlington, Iowa, and Acting Cover
nor Oglesby gave Adjutant General
Dickson orders to mobilize neces-
sary soldiers. BY midnight four
regiments were in armories on the
l.. h.
police had cleared the streets for
the night and began collecting the
dead and injured and rounding up
1ooters.
Old Grievance
The rioting Sunday night aroused
hundreds of persons who had long
grieved at the rapid influx of ne
groes, who have spread over
large territory formerly constitut-
ing a fine residential quarter of the
South Side. Property had decreased
in value and whites had migrated
to other parts of the city by thou
sands, but many others had clung to
their homes while the streets and
one of the large parks became
thronged with negroes. Last night
many whites and negroes armed
themselves and went out seeking
enemies AS soon as darkness fell
the fighting in various forms became
fierce.
Fight Pitched Battle
In some cases, negroes in automo-
biles dashed through the streets fir
ing at any whites encountered. In
other cases whites attacked the
buildings occupied by negroes,
shooting through windows and
doors, while the inmates fired back
from barricades. Bands of both
races marched through the street
and, meeting, fought until the pave
ment was covered with dead and
wounded.
Many individual fights, hand-to-
hand struggles with knives and ra-
zors added to the casualties. Men
and women were dragged from
street cars until the company stop
ped running them through the af-
fected area. In one instance a band
of whites passing a mansion in
Grand Boulevard and resenting the
occupancy of the place by negroes,
was fired on from the house.
Incendiarics Appear
AS the night wore on and the
bands of terrorists were broken UP
by the policemen, looters and in
cendiaries appeared. Several houses
were fired, and one was burned. A

William Jennings, of the Com

day that they are having a very
busy time keeping the public we'll

close proximity to the Philadelphia
Mint, there has never been any diff
ficulty In getting sufficient coppers
for the needs of Harrisburg and
there seems to be no possibility of
the City ever being shy of cents.
Meanwhile, the baby's bank and
the beggar's cup must go unreward-

FAMINE IN CENTS NOW
CAUSE FOR MUCH ALARM
Eight Million Coppers Behind With Demand For Pennies
Steadily Increasing Throughout City and Nation

Penny hoarders of Harrisburg are
going to have a bad time for awhile,
and will not be able to go into their
favorite indoor sport with as much
abandon as formerly, At least so say
the banks of the city, and they
ought to know.
1t seems that the war tax on lux
uries. such as shoes and sodas, is
causing the formerly despised penny
to assume a new and much more
important role than heretofore. The
stamping machines of the mints are
producing 100000 of these little
coins daily, but so far are still about
eight million copDers behind time.
