Stone Embargo Has
Hit the State Hard

Placing of an embargo on ship
ments of stone for road construction
and the resumption of the old-time
war-days system of requiring per-
mits for the shipment of such ma
terial by the State Railroad Com
mission will work havoc with Penn
sylvania's State road building pro
gram, according to State Highway
Department officials. News of the
embargo and permit requirements
caused dismay when received at the
Capitol from the United States Rail-
road Administration and it was de-
clared that very few contractors
have any stone ahead.
Etate Highway Commissioner
Lewis S. Sadler issued this statement
when he received word of the en-
barge:
1T is unfortunate that this ruling
should come at a time when the

Kittanning Refused
a Municipal Plant

The Public Service Commission
the borough of Kittanning to con-
struct a municipal water plant, an
opinion by Commissioner John S.
Killing holding that building of IL
borough plant would be a duplica-
ton of the facilities of the Arm
strong Water Company and that it
would cost to build at least $780,
900 which would exceed the limit of
indebtedness allowed the municipal
ity. The borough would be burden
ed with "a large Indebtedness to
pay for a plant to be constructed at
the present time when unusually
high prices are prevailing and
which plant contemplates taking its
water supply from the same con-
taminated course that is so much
complained of against the respond
ent," says the decision. TT can
not be gainsaid that in the end of
the struggle which is bound to en-
sue between the proposed municipal
ly owned plant and the existing one
that one or the other will succumb
resulting in not only great
economic loss, but in more or less
inadequate service in the meantime"
The water company is declared not
to have appreciated or performed
its duty as a water company ex-
clusively serving n community" 1t
is informed that it should immedi-
ately rehabiitate its plant and notice
/ sgiven that the Commission will
entertain proceedings to determine
reasonableness of rates in effect.

Bigger Crowd at
Church in Weekdays
Than on Sundays

New York, Sept. "a crowd in
most churches on any day other than
Sunday, usually means n funeral,
wedding or ''sociable." But St
Paurs Chapel. the lodest church in
New York city, in lower Broadway
between Park Row newspaper dis
trict and Wall street, is an excep-
tion emphasized by the directors of
the Episcopal church's nationwide
campaign.
At st. Paul's the largest crowds
of worshippers are those at the
three services held each week day
The brokers and bankers who usually
spend their weekends on golf
course, yacht or at a watering place,
frequently find time on their way
to Wall street to attend the early
communion service at o'clock each
morning in old st. Paurs. At 8
o'clock there is mathis, usually at
tended by persons from out of town,
who throng the chapel each day to
see George Washington's pew and
to stroll around among the graves
in the burial ground in the rear
Practically all the tombstones are
century old and many bear the
names of men prominent in the
days when New York was a province
of George III.

TAXICAB PROBE
ORDERED BEGUN
Nquiry in Philadelphia May
Be Extended to Harris
burg and Pittsburgh

inquiry which starts to-day by
order of the Public Service Com
mission into the rates and service
of the taxicab companies and the
jitneys in Philadelphia may be ex-
tended to Pittsburgh. Scranton.
Harrisburg and other cities of the
State. AS a matter of general
policy, the mernbers of the Com
mission are considering broadening
the inquiry into the conditions
which have been much complained
of in various cities and in the State
capital itself, by Statewide
movement is probable in the next
few weeks.
The Philadelphia inquiry was
ordered undertaken last night by
the Commission without a COM
plant. After presentation of a re-
port by Commissioners Samuel NJ.
Clement, Jr.. and James S. Benn,
who investigated the taXicabs and
illegal operation of iitneys in Phila-
delphia, the Commission took the
unusual course of launching an in
quiry on its own motion. This has
been done very rarely. In most of
the Instances where this power has
been exercised it has been in the
case Of grade crossings found to be
dangerous. Generally, when this
authority is invoked, the Commits
sion uses all of the power it possess
ses to adduce the facts. This will
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1919-09-09

be done in Philadelphia where the
inquiry may take weeks. Mean
while it will be determined when to
extend the investigation to other
cities. In regard to Pittsburgh, it
! is improbable that anything will be
done until after the hearing in the
Pittsburgh Railway cases late this
month.
The preliminary acts will be
sending inspectors and accountants
to examine contracts, equipment,
service. regulations and the like
and accountants to go over the
books of the taXicab companies
with lawyers to look over contracts
and agreements. Where q concern
operates without State certificate
or a jitneyman is running without
having applied TO the Commission
for the right, the process will be
simple. He will be cited before
the State authorities. But in case
of the taXicab companies with con-
tracts with hotels, railroads and the
like it Will be different The whole
business will be investigated. Prob
ably il will result in new municipal
regulations, the enforced use of
taXimeters ard requirement of in
surance for protection of persons
who may be hurt.
Briefly stated the moves as n re-
suit of the action of the Commission
will be:
Sending of accountants from the
bureau of accountants to the offices
of the companies to go over their
books because they are common
carriers.
Sending of examiners to look into
the contracts with hotels, etc.
Sending of Investigators and in
speCtors to make n general inquiry
into the whole situation to develop
the reasonableness and adequacy of
the service.
The whole power OF the Commits
sion for far reaching and search
inE inquiry will be employed.
In Il statement issued last night
the Commission said. Commission
ers Clement and Benn reported that
a preliminary hearing had been
held in Philadelphia on the investi-
CATION by the Commission on the
operation of motor vehicles as COM
mon carriers in the city of Phila-
delphia without the approval of the
Commission evidenced by n certi-
ficate of public convenience. and
moved that the Commission inVestt-
gate into the reasonableuess of the
rates charged in the tariffs filed by
the Quaker City Cab Company, the
American TaXicab Company and
the Liberty TaXicab Company. and
that prior to the hearing thereon,
the Commission cause an investiga-
ton to be made through its Bureau
of Accounts and Statistics, of the
~ nf
panies, for the purpose of ascer-
tanning what they are paying for
the privilege they have been en-
joying in the use of the streets of
the city of Philadelphia, and for
the exclusive privileges of serving

stations in the city of Philadelphia

dered by said companies, and that

ness in the city of Philadelphia"

THIRD CONTINGENT
REACHES SIBERIA
FOR RELIEF WORK

V~ladivostok, Siberia (By MaiDL.-At-
lantic, Northern and Northwestern Di-
visions of the American Red Cross are
represented in a group of Red Cross
workers who have just arrived here
and are being sent to various stations
from Vladivostok to Omsk, nearly
1000 miles.
This group is the third Of a series
made up of doctors, nurses, civilian re-
lief workers, warehouse men, army
camp service men and others, enrolled
through Washington in response to a
call from Siberia for additional help
for the American Red Cross men and
women who have been carrying on"
through the winter and spring. Cities
as far apart as New York and Port
land, Ore, have sent their representa-
tives. A considerable group is from
Seattle.
Ten of the group of twenty-five who
now on their way to Omsk, capital of
the present Siberian government.
Omsk is the western headquarters Of
the Siberian Commission of the Ameri-
can Red Cross, and from this head
quarters there will be a further distrf-
button of workers. Two days after its
arrival at ~Vladivostok the group board
ed a Red Cross relief train headed for
the west, which now is the scene Of
greatest Red Cross activity.
Hospital and camp service work are
rapidly expanding in the vast territory
covered by the Red Cross Siberian
Commission. The commission still
needs more doctors and nurses than
have reached here to date. The distri-
button of American troops along the
line Of the Trans Siberian railway al
most to Lake Baikal, which is half
across Siberia, expands the camp serv-
ice, which heretofore has been concen-
trated around Vladivostok and at Ha-
barosk, to the north.

DWELL UNDERGROUND
IN B~REST-uTOVSK
Jewish Relief Worker Finds His
People Living in Holes in
Polish Town.

New York.-Typical Of the condition
of Jewish communities throughout Po-
land and adjacent countries is the
story Of Brest-Litovsk, as recounted
by DIR. Boris d. Bogen, executive direc-
tor Of Jewish relief work in Poland, in
a report received recently at the head
quarters of the American Jewish Relief
Committee, 10 East Fortieth street,
here.
The population of the town where
a couple of years ago the Germans
tried to dictate a peace of violence"
to the Russians is now reduced to
about $4,000. OF this number $4,000
are Jews, writes DR.. Bogen. So com
plete was the war time destruction of
the town that most of the people are
forced to live in mere holes in the
ground. There is a semblance of a
hospital without windows, doors or
means of heating, but so prevalent are
typhus, tuberculosis and other diseases
brought on by malnutrition that this in
stitution, like all other Jewish hos
pitfalls in eastern Europe, is over-
whelmed.
"The Jews Of America" writes DR..
Bogen, must take immediate steps to
provide for the housing, clothing and
feeding of the thousands of destitute
Jews in eastern Europe. 1t will re-
quire considerable additional funds to
re-equip the hospitals, old folks homes
and ~orphanages that the Jews have
maintained throughout Poland to are
for their sick and poor, but these insti-
tutions must be gotten into shape for
the coming severe winter.
"The people are in a terrible con-
dition everywhere, and in great need
of the veriest necessities. Homes
throughout this region are entirely de-
stroyed for the most part. Refugees
who months or years ago were evacu-
ated from the cities are now return
ing. There is practically no work for
them, however, and they are In direst
need"
To provide the funds for remedying
these terrible conditions, the American
Jewish Relief Committee, under the
craftsmanship of Louis Marshall and
the dictatorship of Henry 81. Rosen-
felt, is now engaged in conducting a
series of state campaigns throughout
the Union. The total amount esti-
mated as necessary to finance the es.
sential relief work for another year Ia
$35.000.0O0.

FIRST AID COURSE
TO HELP PREVENT
'WASTAGE' OF LIFE
Red Cross Plans Instruction for
Industrial Establishments and
Schools in America.

The First Aid Division Of the Ameri-
can Red Cross is mapping out plans to
advance proficiency in accident pre-
vention among industrial workers and
among the public at large, according to
an announcement made by Ethan Al
len, Manager Of the Atlantic Division.
1t is the hope of the Red Cross that
ultimately every man, woman and child
in the country viii be trained in the
administration Of standard first aid
methods. There is particular need of
immediate training in this respect in
Industrial plants and schools, and an
especially good field for this work is
afforded in the great industrial cen
tiers and factory own In the territory
OF the Atlantic Division Of the Red
Cross.
In the very recent past there were
hundreds Of deaths annually as the re-
suit Of inattention during the first few
minutes Immediately following acct
dents in factories, mines and other In
dustrial centers. Several of the States,
recognizing this condition, have lately
enacted laws providing for First Aid
training in big plants, and almost
weekly greater and greater numbers
of establishments are voluntarily tax
ing up the work in States where it is
not compulsory by law.
Based on Modern Surgery.
The Red Cross First Aid instruction
imparts the necessary knowledge to
care for sudden injuries by means Of
lectures and practical administrations
based on the latest findings of modern
surgery, augmented by common
In such knowledge lies a material con-
servation of the industrial power of
the nation to say nothing of the hui
manitarian advantage.
The value of First Aid is so appar-
ent as to need no explanation. The life
of a child may often be saved by the
intelligent application of simple relief
methods that cannot be delayed except
with fatal consequences until a doctor
is summoned. Many a workman meets
with a serious accident and dies on his
way to a hospital who might have re-
covered had there been ar application
of First Aid in the few minutes imme-
diately following his injury.
1t has also been proved that efficient
First Aid treatment shortens the time
st by disabled workmen. Hospital
records have shown that patients who
have received First Aid treatment at
the scene of their injuries are ~invaria-
bly, in better condition upon entering
the hospital than those who have not
and are discharged sooner. This has
been confirmed by railroads, by mining
and lumber industries and other large
concerns where the employees are es-
peeially liable to accident.
There is apparent also a need for
such instruction and training in
schools. At a formative period of their
lives children and young persons learn
First Aid efficiency even more quickly
than adults.
