PLAY State Commission Adopts a Resolution Throwing Open the Great Reserves WEANS MUCH TO YOUNGSTERS News of the Day Found About the Various Departments of the State Government The State Forestry Commission has thrown open the 990,000 acres of State forest reserves of the State to the children of the State for playgrounds and has passed resolutions providing that all forestry service officers afford all reasonable facilities to children of their neighborhoods to enjoy the woods. I This action was taken at the meet ing held here yesterday by the commission and is in line with the policy of allowing use of the forests for out ing and recreation grounds as well as for camping purposes under State regulations. In addition to announcing the opening of the lands for re creation the commission has extended an invitation for the children to use the land "for all proper purposes, par ticularly for mineral and plant study, the collecting of wild flowers, the study of bird and animal life, the gath ering of chestnuts and other wild nuts and fruits and the enjoyment of such pleasures as are incident to the life of a child." It is expected that the number of camping parties to use the reserves this year will be a record breaker as many applications for sites for. the hunting season are also being made. The Public Service Commission will next Wednesday hold Its first hearings in the function of supervision of municipal contracts when the contracts of six municipalities will be laid Public upon the table for any ob Service jections.

This line of work Contracts is being tried for the first time in Pennsylvania and all contracts for public service with municipalities must be approved by the commission.

Conklin, the Railroads Delaware, a a wanna Help the and Western railroad has Foresters placed a warning against forest fires on its timetables. In addition other companies have agreed to hang the posters in their stations, especially in wooded portions of the territories they traverse. The posters have been prepared by the department and call attention to the dangers of fires and to the duty which everyone owes one half of conservation to put out the blazes. Comparatively few flames of incendiary origin have disturbed the work of the department this year, one of the most flagrant being In Mifflin county where candles had been fastened on a rock and leaves and twigs piled about the base so that when the candles burned down fire would spread.

This was discovered in time to put out. MINER ENTOMBED FOR 8 DAYS IS OUT Continued From First Page and shook hands with several newspapermen, who told him he ways a brave man. He replied that the men who got him out of the mine ali were much braver. Greets Relatives After the top of the breach was reached he was surrounded by a few relatives, who congratulated him and said his wife and children were anxiously awaiting his homecoming. An ambulance was In waiting.

He wanted to walk home, a distance of over three miles. He was persuaded to ride In the ambulance the first mile, after which he was conveyed to an automobile and was driven home. Inhabitants of the town turned out in numbers to see Toshesky as he was whirled along the streets. Wife Waits For Him His wife and five children waited for him at the door of his home. He got out of the car and hurried up the steps to his family, embracing them all in turn and kissed the baby repeatedly.

After he entered the house he again kissed his family. The doc tor made him sit down, after which a blanket was removed, from him. He was led to a couch by Dr. Fortner. with instructions to enjoy a.

brief sleep, arter wnicn he would be given a bath and put to bed. he exclaimed. "I think will sleep for three days. I am very tired," whereupon he fell asleep. At i.zu tnis morning five feet, of coal remained to be.

cut Jn order to reach him in his tomb. As the rescuers dug Toshesky forced his drill through the barrier, by which much better ventilauon prevailed. rte told buperlntendent Heffner he was much better off on his side of the Darner than the men on the outside, inasmuch as he was escaping a dense cioua or oust which assembled fre quently as the rescuers drew nearer to the entombed man. As the rest of the distance was reduced the size Of tne heading was lessened from four feet to twenty Inches, the rescuers ex periencing the hardest dieerine since they started the opening. Many pieces or rocs naa to be cut away before the picks sank.

through the last barrier. Toshesky, after talking to Heffner. handed a drill and pick throush the opening, saying they belonged to the company and that his tools were all in the prison. He said would use them next week, when he proposed going to work again. After crawling into the heading he encountered Dennis Rowan, who worked with him the day he was entombed and who es caped by running from the danger one.

"How are you, Dennis?" called To shesky, "I'll be working with you soon again." He saw Mine Inspector James O'Donnell, as the former started ud the breach, and thanked him for his share of the rescue work and asked to be remembered to Ned Williams and James Farrell, who were leaders of rescue shifts along with Rowan. Last Meal In Prison Toshesky was given his last meal In the mine at 8 o'clock this morning. It consisted of roast beef, potatoes and conee. He said he would not eat any more until his release. Describing his experience, he said: "When I was closed in, I first thought I would be crushed to death, as several thousand wagon loads of coal piled toward me from the bottom of the breast occupied.

In fact, two breasts of coal ran away. My dinner bucket and coat at the bottom of the breast were lost as the coal rushed. I had all my mine tools with me and my lamp was burning. I had a half quart of oil in a can by my side. Sizing up the situation, I found I was entombed in a space seven by fifteen feet.

I had been entombed twice before and escuers soon got me out. felt that they would again liberate me. From Friday until Tuesday of the first days' entombment I was with out anything to eat or drink, and on the last day my oil gave out. I was in darkness. It was a dismal period from then until the rescuers drove the bore hole through.

After I got sev eral drinks of eggnog I felt like a new man again. I grabbed my pick and Started digging for freedom. From my end I excavated from three to four feet." 1PR0VMEN SCHQD LA Continued from First Page streets. Eighteenth and Park streets, Sixth and Division streets. Second and Schuylkill streets.

Word was received at the department of health of the appearance of three new casea of smallpox in Coates vtlle and simultaneously three cases were reported from Parkesburg and two from Swarthmore.

The Coates ville and Parkesburg cases are believed to have been due to contact with John Carnes. Carnes developed smallpox, but the reports here are that the board of health failed to placard the house or to enforce quarantine. Now relatives of the patient have developed the disease and the Parkesburg cases are said to be due to the same source. The Swarthmore cases came from the State of Indiana. State medical Inspectors are establishing quarantine and vigorously vaccinating people who have been in contact SI HA DROWNED Continued From First Page body of a woman.

About a hundred feet beyond the shore, it was caught by a projecting rock. He procured a boat and with Llewellyn McBrlde, of West Fairvlew, brought the downed woman to the shore. The victim was taken at once to the home of George Mann, the father of Mrs. Erford, who lives in Main street near Second in West Fair view. Meanwhile the crowd at the dam was making a vain search for the body.

In this crowd was the daughter, Catherine', and the father, George Mann. When the news was brought to him that the body of his daughter was at his home, he hastened to console his wife who is prostrated with grief. How tho Husband Was Told Charles Erford, the husband, who has a milk route in Harrisburg. was In the city when the accident occurred. He had left his home with the milk wagon about 630, and was about half way around his route when he heard of the accident.

The local police station had been notified of the drowning, and Charles Fleck, the desk oificer, knew that Erford" passed his own home at 132 Verbeke street at about 9 o'clock. He telephone to Mrs. Fleck just after Mr. Erford had delivered milk at the Fleck home. Mrs.

Fleck ran down Verbeke street, and found Mr. Erford half a square away. A to Comes For Erford Mr. Erford was found a few minutes later by C. C.

Cranford, a contractor of West Fairvlew, who had made a long search for him in his automobile. Mr. Cranford had passed over the bridge at the mouth of the Conodo guinet just after the drowning occurred. He talked to McKinsey, who was then looking for the body. Mc Kinsey thought it was a man.

The oars of the boaht floated past as he watched, and shortly after them he shaw the shawl worn by Mrs. Erford. Hhe did not know then that It was Mrs. Erford, with whom he was well acquainted, and went on into Harrisburg, after he had seen McKinsey and McBride start out in the boat. Mrs.

Cranford Recognizes Victim Mrs. Cranford, who lives nearby, had come down by this time, and when the body was found she helped the two men pull the body out, and she discovered that it was her friend that had been drowned. As Mr. Cranford passed the Bretz hardware store at 109 Market street, Charles E. Bretz came out ond told him of the drowning of Mrs.

Erford. Together they started dut to find Er ford, whom they knew to be serving his milk route up town. They made three trips up town, falling to find him until after Mrs. Fleck hod told him the news. Mr.

Bretz, who at one time ran a dairy, finished the route with the aid of the boy who helps Mr. Erford. Mr. Erford got into the Cranford car and was taken to the scene of the accident. The water In the Conodogulneti is high at this time.

A swift current makes a miniature Niagara out of the usually slowly moving stream. The point where the Erfords cross the creek Is about a hundred feet above the dam. Mrs. Erford knowing that the current Is usually slow had often rowed a boat almost to the breast of the da.n, and probably thought she was running no risk in floating down to get her hat. The boat was broken badly, and Mrs.

Erford must have been stunned by a blow on her head when she went over the dam. Her head was cut and bruised from contact with the rocks. The remains of the boat caught on a log right under the dam, and can be seen sticking out from the spray. Had Narrow Escape Before Mrs. Erford UBed the short route to West Fairvlew frequently, two boats being kept for that purpose.

Four years ago when the creek was frozen over, Mrs. Erford and her daughter started to walk across the ice and broke through in midstream. The mother screamed for help and almost drowned in her efforts to pre vent her daughter from going under the ice. A large board was thrown to the woman and she held on to the board until rescued by several men. The creek route is used by the Er ford's because It is two miles shorter to West Fairvlew than by the roads.

Mrs. Errtl Well Known Mrs. Erford was 34 years old. She had two children, Catherine, aged 12, and Harold, aged 9. She had one sis ter, and her father and mother are living.

Thefamlly is well known on the West Shore. Funeral arrangements had not been made this morning, but the funeral will probably be held on Tuesday from Zion Lutheran Church, Enola. No coroner Investigation will be necessary. The body was viewed by Justice of the Peace Isaac W. Matter, deputy coroner, and further Inquest will not be made, he said.

Test Fairvlew was shocked by the accident. All morning the residents of the little town made visits to the creek, and returning, stood In groups about the streets, talking of the latest accident of "the fatal nail mill dam." ROOSEVELT AND PARTY ARE OFF FOR INTERIOR Continued From First Page make the round trip on the Van Dyck; Anthony Flala, the Polar explorer. who has charge of the expedition's equipment; K. Cherry and Leo L. Miller, naturalists of the American Museum of Natural History; Frank Harper, Colonel Roosevelt's secretary.

and the Rev. Father John Augustine Zahn, provincial of the Order of the Holy Cross, a former field companion of the colonel. The naturalists will start into the Interior shortly after their arrival In Brazil, to be joined by the colonel after he has finished his lectures, which will be In December. It will probably be April before the party returns to civilization. Roosevelt bade his friends farewell last night at a dinner given in his honor by the Progressive National Service" and the Progressive Service of the State of New York.

Addressing some two thousand men and women who gathered In his honor at the New York Roof Garden, the Colonel made a speech. In which' he apparently sought to put a quietus on published reports that he intended to return to the Republican party. "I warn our opponents that the fight has only Just begun," he said, his voice breaking in his earnestness. "I will never abandon the principles to which we Progressives have pledged our selves. Waving bandana handkerchiefs and napkins, the diners Jumped to their feet and cheered for half a minute.

For some time since the final passage of the loan ordinance at the September meeting of council there didn't seem to be very much sentiment among the voters either one way or another. It was eclipsed by the complex political situation that faced the voters before the primaries With the primaries out of the way and the enthusiastic endorsement of the loan by the Municipal League, the voters are beginning to take a greater Interest in the loan proposition. The Loan's provisions As the loan plan will go before the voters for approval or disapproval, $35,000 of the amount borrowed is to be used for the paving of additional streets of the borough. If this Item carries, Steelton, according to Highway Commissioner Meshey, will have more than miles OI smootn, dur able paved highways, a greater mileage, probably, than any other borough of its size in the United States. About $8,000 will be expended to lay new water mains.

At the present time the mains supplying the East End, the newer part of Steelton, are only six inch capacity and are laid under from ten to forty feet of Blag and cinder. Should a leak be sprung under the present conditions, this part of the town would be without water or fire protection. If the loan is decided upon a ten inch main will be laid. The other Item of Jiz.uuo lor a municipal hospital for, the Isolation of contagious diseases will probably be passed. The voters or the Dorougn had a very strong object lesson of the value of such a hospital In 1911 dur ing an outbreak of smallpox.

More than $12,000 was spent for the care and guarding of patients alone, a sum sufficient to build the proposed nos pital.
