During Past Month Overland Company Started 2,938 Cars j Recent drive-aways at the Over- | land plant have broken all previous j records. During the past month I 2938 cars were taken across country. ! In spite of the severe cold spell dur- ; 'ng part of the month, dealers and j distributors made unusual demands upon the factory to anticipate the j spring rush of business. J Only 100 cars were driven away ~, i Ti nK the same Period in 1917. These figures do not by any means represent the gross shipment of cars," j said John N. Willys, commenting up- on this showing, "but they do in- | dicate that the far sighted dealers are getting ready for their imme- j diate requirements, in spite of un- j precedented traffic problems, our j dealers are doing their Qtmost not | to disappoint their customers as the t liest driving days of the year ap- proach. It is certainly gratifying to | see the assurance oi these men in all ' Parts of the country," said Willys. | "Those of broadest vision are unani- J mous in predicting a well-sustained ; demand for automobiles throughout ! 1018. The enormous demands made ; upon time and energy for food and | munitions with less men to accem- Pllsh these bigger tasks make it only reasonable to suppose that there will he more sound reasons for motor- car demand in this country than ever before."

The lawbreakers are George Dai- ley. Edward Daily, Archie Ham- macker and James Miller.

The men arrested are alleged to have been arousing the entire neigh- borhood in the vicinity of Main and Francis streets Thursday evening with their loud talk and singing. Patrolman Winn, who happened along about 12.30 o'clock, ordered the crowd to disperse. Archie Ham- macker, speaking for the crowd, in- formed the patrolman that they did not Intend to do so. At this period Winn attempted to place Hammacker under arrest. The rowdies resenting this move wrenched the patrolman's, mace from his hand and proceeded to use it on its owner. After some difficulty Patrolman Winn succeeded in placing Archie Hammacker and Edward Dailey un- der arrest. He took the pair to the borough lockup and returned to the West Side, where he found Mil- ler. He then placed him in the lock- up. George Dailey was arrested by Patrolman Winn last evening.

ZEATER Relatives of Corporal William M. Zeater, of this city, have received word of hi safe arrival in France.

GREINERWDLL STUDY BRIDGE Engineer Who Estimated on Walnut Street to State Street Conditions Prompt steps are NXV A(XI Btate officials in duct h residential section of Allison Hill as a part of the gen- eral Park Improvement scheme. The poard has gone on record as favor- ing the bridge and state and city will unite in its construction. Greiner . the engineer, who rnade the estimates for the proposed bridge at Walnut street, and who recently made a study of the Mul- berry street viaduct, will be here # ,? a , few days to wake a study °5 " n ® of the proposed State street viaduct, which some people bq,ve already named "Common- wealth Way." The idea is to have a monumental structure which will .stretch for about a sixth of a milo and be 120 feet wide, the width of State street. William H. Hargest, deputy at- torney general, has been detailed by the attorney general, to act as legal adviser in the Capitol Park exten- sion matters. He is a Harrisburg at- torney of wide experience in state, municipal and realty matters Many at Capitol. The "plain people" of Pennsylvania, as mem- bers of the Church of the Brethren style themselves, have certainly shown their interest in the State Capi- tol this week as the register of the guides shows. The Brethren have been thronging the corridors of the f'apitol and have not missed much in the way of the attractions of the building. It is one of the pecular- ities of this sect that when there is any gathering in this section, such as the annual conferences which have been held frequently at Paxtang or Hershey, that they make a point of visiting the Capitol. While hav- ing opinions against public office they are greatly interested in public buildings. Good Fishing. ?Commissioner of Fisheries, Nathan R. Buller, who has been surveying the results of the planting of bass in the streams of the state says that there should be excellent bass fishing this year, the first under the new fish code in Pennsylvania. The season will be- gin on July 1 and fish wardens say that there are plenty of bass in the streams in the central section. Under the new regulations there are changes in the catch. For instance only twelve black bass may be taken when the season opens and 25 of the rock, white, strawberry, calico and other varieties and 25 is also the limit of the wall-eyed pike or Sus- quehanna salmon. The frog season, which starts July 2, will also be governed by rules. The commis- sioner does not anticipate any trouble with the new regulations and says that while there have been numerous arrests for illegal trout fishing they have been palpable vio- lations and the letter to wardens to be sure that more than 25 legal fish have been taken in a day before making arrests has had a good ef- fect. Bs Hearings.?Over a dozen im- portant hearings are scheduled for Harrisburg, Wilkes-Barre and Pitts- burgh by the Public Service Commis- sion for the coming week and in addition there will be arguments heard. Monday and Tuesday will be devoted to consideration of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit lease in executive session. The argument Monday will include the Pittsburgh trolley fare Increases, Birdsboro Stone, Milton Brick and Clearfield county coal rate cases, involving thousands of dollars. Wednesday there will be heard the Derry town- ship grade crossing cases, which are on the William Penn highway, in Dauphin county and which will es- tablish precedents; the Philadelphia Suburban Gas and Electric Co., Har- risburg Gas, Boyertown Electric, Mt. Carmel Electric and other rate cases with the White Deer Mountain water, case from Northumberland county which involves service. Thursday the Overbrook Steam and Phoenix- ville. Valley Forge and Strafford Street Railway. Philadelphia Subur- ban Gas and Electric Co. cases will come up for hearing with the Che-ster city lighting contract. The Wilkcs- Rarre railway cases will be heard at Wilkes-Earre Friday. Compensation Ruling.?The State Compensation Board in dismissing an appeal of the Lehigh Vallev rail- road in the claim of C. E. Smith, Welssport, refuses to declare an engfne which the man was repair- ing engaged in interstate commerce. The engine is found to have been assigned :vt the will of the manage- ment to handle'inter and intrastate commerce and says "Had this en- gine been engaged in interstate commerce and on that particular trip become disabled so that it had to he taken fj-om the train and a workman Was injured while making repairs for the purpose of continu- ing that trip, then such workman would have been engaged in repair- ing a utility of interstate commerce, but when this engine had finished its day's work and had been placed in the defendant's round house, * it was engaged in neither interstate or intrastate activity at the time of the accident." The board acted oh over a dozen cases. Slew Major J. Walter Wilde, Hazleton, was to-day appointed a ma- jor of infantry in the Reserve Militia and assigned to the Second Regiment. I'ntton t'ompenmitcd The State Compensation Board has awarded compensation at $7 a week from June 20 to August 27 last year to Harry A. Patton, 303 South Front street., Steelton, for injuries received to his left hand at the Harrisburg Pipe and Pipe Bending Company Works.

Smallpox Acnln - As the result of an investigation by the County Med- ical Inspector of one case of small- pox in Potter county several other cases have been brought to light. A ten-year-old girl living in Oswayo borough had been ill with smallpox for some time and upon the discov- ery of this case the medical inspec- tor found another case in Shingle- bouse borough. In following up the second case he found one in Sharon township and one in Hebron township the same county.

She left SIOO,OOO with which to erect the statue. The bill specifies Meridian Hill, the most costly park of its size in Washington, as the place where the statue shall be placed.

Cars

j Recent drive-aways at the Over-| land plant have broken all previous

j records. During the past month

I 2938 cars were taken across country.

! In spite of the severe cold spell dur-; 'ng part of the month, dealers and

j distributors made unusual demandsupon the factory to anticipate the

j spring rush of business.J Only 100 cars were driven away~, iTinK the same Period in 1917.

These figures do not by any meansrepresent the gross shipment of cars,"

j said John N. Willys, commenting up-on this showing, "but they do in-

| dicate that the far sighted dealersare getting ready for their imme-

j diate requirements, in spite of un-j precedented traffic problems, our

j dealers are doing their Qtmost not| to disappoint their customers as thet liest driving days of the year ap-proach. It is certainly gratifying to

| see the assurance oi these men in all' Parts of the country," said Willys.

Many at Capitol. The "plainpeople" of Pennsylvania, as mem-bers of the Church of the Brethrenstyle themselves, have certainlyshown their interest in the State Capi-tol this week as the register of theguides shows. The Brethren havebeen thronging the corridors of thef'apitol and have not missed muchin the way of the attractions of thebuilding. It is one of the pecular-ities of this sect that when there isany gathering in this section, such asthe annual conferences which havebeen held frequently at Paxtang orHershey, that they make a pointof visiting the Capitol. While hav-ing opinions against public officethey are greatly interested in publicbuildings.

The frog season,which starts July 2, will also begoverned by rules. The commis-sioner does not anticipate anytrouble with the new regulationsand says that while there have beennumerous arrests for illegal troutfishing they have been palpable vio-lations and the letter to wardensto be sure that more than 25 legalfish have been taken in a day beforemaking arrests has had a good ef-fect.
