Outstanding p ! :. Of the situation
demanding attention, he continued, are
the absolutely uneconomic and I'M
satisfactory" basis upon which the
relations between the public and the
electric railways have rested since the
inauguration of the enterprise, and
placing of many additional burdens up
on companies by the government as
war exigencies without any sort of
relief. Included in the war program
to which Mr.. Pardee said the electric
railways readily subscribed, were the
raising of employees wages as much
as 100 per cent, the control of the
sary to the stabilizing of electric rail-
way conditions" Mr. Pardee said.
There must be impressed upon the
public new conception of the rela-
lions between the communities and the
public utilities which serve them; they
must be shown that the antagonism
which has heretofore prevailed is dis
astrous to both interests and that
only when the public and the companies
work together to secure efficiency and
economy in operation can the desired
service be furnished az a reasonable
price. A second fundamental idea is
that in order to provide through the
employment of private capital proper
transportation facilities for cities and
for rural districts the basis of COM
pensation must be so determined as
to provide an assured return and a
rate of fare so flexible as to readily
and automatically adjust itself to the
cost of providing the service"

BY Associated Press.

Washington, Nov. 29.-Mrs. Flor

tron, lying near death in hospital,
and Grover Gordon, little more than
a youth, who yesterday shot the
woman and twelve hours later kept
her alive by giving his blood for
TRANSMISSION to her veins, to-day,
were the principals in one of the
most remarkable crime incidents in
Washington police history
Following a jealous quarrel re-
Gently, Gordon yesterday went to the
home of the young woman, who
some time ago had separated from
her husband, to bid her final good
by. as he expected to leave that day
for his old home in Wheeling, w.
Va. AS she stood in his embrace
Gordon fired a revolver bullet
through her body.
After his arrest last night Gordon
was told that Mrs. Robinson would
die unless some one speedily volun-
teered to submit to blood trans
fusion. He eagerly offered himself,
and requested only that, if the pa
tient still were conscious, she be
told of his action.
Physicians to-day were uncertain
as to whether the operation would
save Mrs. Robinson's life. In the
meantime the police were wondering
what the effect would be if the
woman whom Gordon had tried to
Kill, should be saved from death
through his own sacrifice of blood.

72O BEDS SHORT
OF HARRNBURG'S
HOSPITAL NEEDS
Conservative Estimate Shows
Urgent Need of Third of
This Number

Harrisburg is the center of a COM
nunity of 100000 people who use hos
pital facilities. on this basis Harris
risburg has less than one hospital bed
for every thousand people. For that
reason more than ordinary interest is
being taken by the community in
general in the campaign through
which Polytechnic Hospital will raise
$150,000 for reded improvements and
extensions TO its plant at Front and
Harris streets.
On a conservative estimate, medi-
cal men are agreed, Harrisburg is
FAC hospital beds short of the num-
Der necessary to meet the needs of
the population of the city alone.
Counting the neighboring towns de-
pendent upon the city for hospital IA
cilities there is a shortage of 720
beds, even in normal times. 1t nat
urally follows that the present capac-
ity of the city's hospitals would be
hcpelessly inadequate during an cpl
demic of any sort. This was demon
strated during the 1916 typhoid fe-
yer epidemic. and during the "fu"
epidemic of 1918. 1t was then neces-
sary to open emergency hospitals and
use volunteer nurses.

celVes patients from the country

towns Steeiton. Middletown. Hum

burg, Lykens, Halifax, Newport. Dun

tEere Is half hospital bed for every

suit OF lack of facilities many people
are compelled to go to Philadelphia

While Harrisburg is unsurpassed in

HOARDERS OF SILVER COIN
WILL MAKE LITTLE PROFIT
Peculiar Situation Makes "ronmen" More Valuable Than
Gold Dollars For First Time in History

1T was explained that while the
market quotations for silver is high
enough to make silver money more
valuable than gold, individuals who
try to make money by boarding coins
Will have hard task. The metal
can be sold only at the silver mar
kets in the big cities and old coins
lose weight rapidly because of wear.
Bankers understand that the gov
ernment has been considering steps
TO remedy the situation. After for
mer wars gold advanced above par
ana was traded in as other COM
moditles. The demand for silver has
been due to the increasing wealth of
several Adriatic countries where the
metal is the monetary standard.
