[specify clearly the location of his resi-| dence and depend upon the quick,I mind of the girl at the switchboard j'to call the apparatus or obtain the

; assistance of the desk man at policeI headquarters. Under these circum-stances considerable time is lost, forquite frequently the line cannot bicleared.

Furthermore, the number of phonecalls to which each tirehouse tele-phone is limited is 500; at times,!however, there have been as many asa thousand calls a year.

Tlic New Plans

Plan No. 1, as suggested by LocalManager Watts, provides for the fol-lowing at a total cost Of $855: Switch-board and operator's set, S3O; firsttrunk, S6O; four additional trunks at$42 each, $168; 37stations at $6 each,$222, 18% miles, excess mileage atS2O per mile, $375.

Plan No. 2 includes the same costwith fifteen miles of wiring, a differ-ence of $75 over the first plan.

Under the first plan a main andextension telephone in the residenceof the chief and assistant flre chief, amain and extension phone In eachfirehouse, and five stations in the po-lice station, all to be connected onindividual lines to the switchboard,and five trunks between this switch-board and the city exchange.

The second plan embraces, in addi-tion to the main and extension phoneservices i t the chief and assistantchiefs residences, a main and an ex-tension service group as follows:

Chief's and assistant, same circuit;Citizen and Mt. Vernon, same; Wash-ington and Paxton, same; Mt. Pleasantand Shamrock, same; Allison andRoyal, same, and the Friendship,Hope, Good Will and Susquehanna,on Individual circuits.

Mr. Watts' LetterIn his letter to Mr. Taylor, Mr.

Watts points out the advantages ofthe proposed system and disadvan-tages of the present system, and saysin part:

We have to-day 8,000 tele-phones in service in this city, eachone of which is practically usedas a tire alarm box, and underthe present method each fire ap-paratus is subject to calls fromthe public at large. Many In-stances have occurred in cases ofsmall fires, where a party willrush to the telephone and callfor a fire company and often-times they will think of a com-pany which Is located entirelyout of the district and fall it tocome to their assistance; thismeans a delay in getting to thefire, to say nothing of the wearand tear of the apparatus.

I could cite you many cases ofthis kind which have come to myattention. In other words, youhave no supervision of telephonecalls for the flre appartus. Thenagain we have had many cases ofpeople calling up in their ex-citement and asking the operator

; POLICE ARE INVESTIGATING

I Stepsister of One Dead Man Says

i She Did Not Know ExplosivesWere Kept in House

By Associated rressNew York, July 6.?Michael Mur-

phy, 19 years old, the only member ofthe group of free speech advocates

, who escaped with his life from thej fatal explosion on Saturday morning

' that wrecked the tenement at 1626

I Lexington avenue is being sought by, every policeman and detective in NewYork to-day as the one person mostlikely to know the real story of whatoccurred in the little flat. Murphy dis-appeared after being in the hands ofthe police before they were aware of

'the identity of the victims of the ex-iplosion. He visited a nearby policestation, was given clothes to replacehis own which were torn to bits, andthen dropped out of sight.

Just what charge could be placedagainst Murphy the police say theydo not know, but It is believed hemight be induced to throw some light

Ion the cause of the explosion and per-haps explain why alarm clocks andother things used in the making ofbombs were kept In the Berger apart-ments.

Stepsister TalksLouise Berger, stepsister of Carl

i Hanson, one of the dead men, whoj lived In the flat where the explosion| occurred," remains firm in her first; story that site knew nothing abouti what happened prior to the explosion,and denied that she knew explosiveswere kept in her rooms.

Miss Berger, Alexander Berkmanand other leaders of the free speechmovement with Which Caron, Hansonand Berg, the victims of the explo-sion, were identified, told the policethey believed the three men weremartyrs to a cause and as such theyproposed to honor them in death witha public funeral service In UnionjSquare. Berkman said that a numberof organizations were already making

Iplans to hold an impressive publicjfuneral on Saturday afternoon next..Rebecca Kdson and Charles PlunkettIwill also deliver addresses if they are| free at the time. The latter two are| to appear at the village court In Tar-rytown to-day to answer to riotingcharges. Berkman said the bodies of

| the three men would be cremated.James J. Ettor, an Industrial Work-

er of the World organizer, said to-daythat Caron had never been a memberof the I. W. W. and that that organi-zation did not approve of his methodsor verbal attacks on John D. Rocke-feller, Jr.

DEATH OF MRS. SAMI'EL SLESSERSpecial to The Telegraph

Hershey, Pa., July 6.-?-On Saturdayforenoon Mrs. Samuel Slesser died ather home, near Hockersville, after anillness of several weeks. The funeralwill be held on Tuesday forenoon ather late home. Burial will take placeat Union Deposit. The Revs. A. S.Lehman, of Hummelstown. and Mr.

iWitmer, T'nion Deposit, will officiate.

for a fire company, and she, notknowing which company to orderout or call, must refer the matterto the Mayor's office, and it inturn must call the (Ire companyand tell it to respond to the tele-phone call; this necessitates oneto three minutes before the ap-paratus is ordered to the fire afterreceiving the call, and, as youknow, seconds count where thereis a flre.

When Polks Call| There have been many other

cases where people call for cer-tain fire companies and when theoperator endeavors to make theconnection the line is busy, andshe is unable to place the callwith that company. This meansthat the party who originates thecall must wait until they can getthe company or until the operatorrefers it to the Mayor's offlee,which orders out another com-pany to respond to that call. Iknow that you agree with me thatthis is a very bad condition andshould have been remedied longago.

The proposed system will eliml- 'nate these difficulties, as the fireenginehouses will be directly con-nected to the switchboard locatedin the Mayor's office, and all callsreceived by our operator in re-gard to fires will be at once con-nected to that private branch ex-change and the operator there willthen get all the necessary Infor-mation from the party caliing andorder the proper apparatus to re-spond. Ther« never could be thequestion of the operator not beingable to get the company that, iswanted, because he will have con-trol of all the fire enginehouses,and even though the lines arebeing used he can cut in on thecircuit and tell them to respondto a fire call at once.

tion of River Improvement

MUNICIPAL SERVICES STIRRING

Thousands Gather About Flagpoleat Front and Market

Streets

In many, many ways was it forcibly

Impressed upon Harrisburg folks Sat-

urday that cerainly and truly "theflag is still there," the Huertlstas andother doubting folks to the contrarynotwithstanding. .

All day Old Glory swung over thecity from the municipal staff at Frontand Market streets. Beneath It some75,000-odd people celebrated in anumber of ways.

The raising of the colors was at-tended with all the ceremony that ob-tains under similar circumstances ona warship or at a military post, withparades and speeches and things inaddition. In the evening there was thesunset gun, as the flag slid down fromthe peak, a bugler sounded "retreat,"and again the band swung Into the"Stiy Spangled Banner."

So much for the municipal cele-bration.

In dozens of other ways Harrisburgfolks observed Independence Day.Many left town for the week-end atcottage or camp or watering or moun-tain resort: water sports on the creeksaround Harrisburg drew hundreds ofcanoeists; many put In a quiet day onthe Susquehanna: thousands picnickedat Boiling Springs, Mt. Holly, Hershey,and Summcrdale and Paxtang, wherethere was dancing most all day; thetowns around Harrisburg, which cele-brated the day In an old-fashionedway, drew many, many carloads; thefortunate folks with autos toured thecountry 'round. Reservoir Park, withits band concert in the evening, andthe River Front parks with the bandsplaying in the morning drew thou-sands and emphasized the Importanceof municipal band concerts; incident-ally scores of folks spent much of theday on the tennis courts at Island andReservoir; and, of course, the nationalbirthday was the big day for the na-tional game. The victories for thehome team on the Island Saturdayset the pace.

Next Year the Big NoiseRut. while it was the concensus of

opinion that Harrisburg had celebrat-ed well the "safe and sane" Fourth,most all Harrisburg looked just oneyear ahead and had a picture In itsmind's eye of another big day whenthe river would be colorful with skim-ming craft, bands in the parks, bunt-ing along island, bridges and waterfront?and thousands of people bank-ed along Harrisburg'a completed"front steps."

"That should be a double celebra-tion next year nnd a mighty big one,"was the concensus of opinion, "be-cause we'll observe big events?UncleSam's birthday and the completion ofthe river wall and the dam."

Independence Day, 1914, has beenhistory these forty-eight hours or so,but it might be well to tell somethingof the municipal end of the celebra-tion.

Mr. Nead's talk at the municipalend of the celebration was full of thesnap and fire of the real IndependenceDay speech. Here it Is in part:

"You who have received the 'bap-tism of fire' know full well what les-sons this day and these patriotic dem-onstrations teach to all, and especiallytench understandingly to us who arefacing the westering sun nnd behindwhom the shadows are growing verylong. We are warned to be 'on guard!'for there are numberless pirate craftshovering around the good old 'Shipof State, each flying its spacious en-sign of 'progressive reform." Will wepermit these pirates with their con-trolling motives of commercialism andselfishness to scuttle the ancient andnoble ship?

"And for you. young men, ?and 'Ispeak unto you because we are strong'?what lessons does the day bring?

"To my mind the warning to youis as clear as the sunlight. Be notmisled hy the alluring promises ofthe commercial spirit of the day, andfail not to respect and obey consti-tuted authority; authority constitutedby our forefathers with a sublime un-selfishness of motive, and constrainedby the very spirit of prophecy itself."

Pittsburgh Mills CutDown Vacation PeriodSpecial to The Telegraph

Pittsburgh, July 6.?Steel mills havereduced the "vacation time" plannedfor the first three weeks in July in(this district to an average of aboutten days, as a result of (he freer or-dering of material for July and Au-gust delivery.

Better specifications for midsummerdeliveries caused tho Carnegie SteelCompany to alter its schedule so as topermit several of its plants to operatefor a full three weeks in July, insteadof closing from July -I to July 18,as hadbeen announced. The National TubeCompany was forced to put on addi-tional capacity last week in conse-quence of orders for 100,000 tons oftubular products. Structural businessalready booked for the third quarteradmittedly is better than for the May-June period.

Railroad releases of orders for rails,locomotives and cars since the middleof June have convinced the steel tradethat the roads have definite informa-tion on the Interstate Commerce Com-mission's decision in the rate case. In-cluding the Pennsylvania order of 137,-000 tons, the rail business for Junetotaled over. 250,000 tons for domesticroads; car prders for the month ofJune also were the heaviest of anymonth this year.

The general situation In rolled ironand steel products shows little change.In Chicago plate mills have booked40,000 tons of car plates and shapes,or which 5000 tons were specified forimmediate delivery.
