Crestline Advocate, 1920-05-27

gets a genuine surprise. Any cor corner - ner corner of this place from the basement to the roof could be use for a dining room. There isn't a piece of coal or a cinder as big as the end of your finger to be found any place. There are blowers and motors and dynamos and pumps and goodness knows what not that would make the ordinary fel fellow's - low's fellow's head swim and can be under understood - stood understood only by the expert mechanics who take care of them. We found W. W. Whitacre amid a lot of electri electrical - cal electrical machinery with everything work working - ing working as smoothly as a new watch. These mammoth boilers are a won wonder - der wonder and getting a car of coal from outside clear up to the top of the house and then down into the boilers requires less effort than lift lifting - ing lifting a bucket of coal into the stove at home. The coal is transferred from the car through a big hopper into a | machine which chops it up to a cer - tain fineness and then carried to the top of the power house by scores of buckets on an endless cable. At the top it is dumped into a bin and then fed down automatically into the boil boilers. - ers. boilers. Cinders are treated in much the same way. Except that they are au automatically - tomatically automatically carried out of the build building - ing building instead of carried in as in the case of coal. The boilers are equip equipped - ped equipped with automatic shakers and the fire is always just right. Water is fed into the bolilers automatically; there is no danger of the boilers go going - ing going dry and blowing up if some fel fellow - low fellow forgets to turn the water in. An entire car of coal can be un unloaded, - loaded, unloaded, chopped up and carried to the bins in the top of the power house in forty-five minutes. With all the wonders to be seen the place isn't finished yet. A new cement road is contemplated from the inside of the engine house up through the yards to the cinder pit. On this road will run electrically op operated - erated operated motors pulling dump carts for the purpose of transferring dirt and waste from the engine house to the cinder pit where it is taken out by electrically operated buckets and loaded onto cars, and for many other purposes. The engine house now has an acetylene welding equipment but an electric welder will soon be added. Then a new casting shop is being built to supply castings for repairs. There are many other details to be worked out during the next few months. * Foreman Frank Cairns has sever several - al several big offices and a bi? force of clerks, all of them head over heels in work! and many of them working in three eight hour shifts. Some changes in the office building are to be made and when all the offices are completed and definitely settled the place will be much more convenient than it now appears. even/ now appears. One couldn't help being impresson with the large number of capable young women employed there and how quick they have - adapted themselves to this work. War conditions necessitated the employment of women in railroad offices but they are making good with a vengeance.

William Weaver, of the Weaver Bros. Co., and O. F. Kime, of the Gledhill & Kime Lumber Co., two members of the Chamber of Com Commerce - merce Commerce committee, propose to build the model house. It will be situated on North Seltzer street on a lot pur purchased - chased purchased from Thos. McMahon and work was started on the foundation Unless there are Tuesday morning, some very serious handicaps the house will be completed within a month. The house will be two stor stories - ies stories and contain four rooms and a bath. There will be two rooms on | each floor with the bath on the sec second - ond second floor. The house will be 14 x 20 feet and the rooms will be of a com comfortable - fortable comfortable size, in all making a very ac acceptable - ceptable acceptable house for a small family. The builders of this new model house did not want to say this week | just what the house will be sold for when completed, although the price will be very moderate. This is not to be a cheaply built house. Whlie the builders will save money in its construction wherever possible the house will be substantial in every way and made to last and give satis satisfaction - faction satisfaction just as long as any home of modern construction can last. While it is small in the hope that it may en encourage - courage encourage others to build, it will be put up in such a manner that it can be added to at any time and devel developed - oped developed into a large commodous home without material changes except the addition of the new parts desired. The matter was first brought out at the April meeting of the Chamber of Commerce when the housing short shortage - age shortage was discussed and John Schaaf, chairman of the Home Building com committee, - mittee, committee, agreed to have an interesting report at the next meeting of the Chamber. Mr. Schaaf had his com committee - mittee committee busy during the month and they made rather extensive investi investigations - gations investigations along several lines. The model house at Mansfield was care carefully - fully carefully considered but it did not meet with the approval of the Crestline committee. The Mansfield house has the same number of rooms, but they are all on one floor and too small to be practical, in the opinion of the Crestline committee. The Crestline plan will give forty per cent, more floor space with less than ten per cent, higher cost. And it is expect expected - ed expected that the completed Crestline home wall be lower in price than the com completed - pleted completed Mansfield home.

he could employ more men at once if they could find a place for them to live. Mr. Waechter is very proud of the Crestline shop and hopes to it still bigger and better and every day 100 per cent, efficient. Baccalaureate Services The Methodist church was filled to the doors Sunday evening for the annual union Baccalaureate services. Rev. L. M. Mohrhoff, whose name ap appeared - peared appeared on the program, was out of the city, as was also Rev. L. C. Hes Hessert, - sert, Hessert, so the services were conducted entirely by Rev. Thomas Grenfell and Rev. A. C. Kanzinger. The Y. M. C. A. chorus, under the direction of Wm. N. Todd, rendered two difficult numbers which were en enjoyed - joyed enjoyed by the audience. Both organ and piano were used for accompani accompaniment - ment accompaniment with Miss Joanna Mincks as or organist - ganist organist and Miss Bertha Miller as pianist. R. B. Smith played a violin solo, "Traumeri" as an offertory. Rev. A. C. Kan zinger chose as his subject for the Baccalaureate ser sermon, - mon, sermon, "Looking Ahead" and deliver delivered - ed delivered a sermon which was especially tit titting - ting titting for such an occasion. He not only addressed himself to the mem members - bers members of the graduating class of 1920 but also to all others present, urging the necessity of preparing for the future and not living for the present alone. His main plea was for a greater interest and inclination for training, for more teachers and the support that will create an incentive to teach. He showed that the pres present - ent present conditions are not normal and that while he did not pose as a pro prophet, - phet, prophet, he was positive the time was not far distant when trained minds and hands would have the advantage and be those in demand. He deplored the fact of the large percentage of pupils who leave school, not for press pressing - ing pressing economic reasons, but because they prefer to work rather than train for something else. He cited statistics to prove his statements, which were far-reaching and convinc convincing - ing convincing and no doubt created an ambition among many students to strive for a higher education, rather than to get through on as little as they can. Many, comments were heard in favor of the stand taken by Rev. Kan zinger and the manner in which he present presented - ed presented it on this occasion.

To the casual observer going thru the new Pennsylvania Railroad en engine - gine engine house at Crestline three fea features - tures features stand out prominently. l. Good air. ditions. Ideal working con con2. - 2. con2. 3. Cleanliness and sanitation. Everything as nearly automa automatic - tic automatic as it can be made. A representative of the Advocate was given the courtesy of a trip through the magnificient new plant Tuesday afternoon piloted by Engine House Foreman Frank M. Cairns and Division Foreman of Power Plants W. B. Smith. There are thousands of Crestline people who have not seen the inside if this ideal shop since it was completed but it would be a revelation to them if they had. Two years ago someone told us this plant would cost $2,000,000 and we thought he must have been telling a story because we couldn't believe that after all the talk we had heard for twenty-five years about the Penn Pennsylvania - sylvania Pennsylvania railroad moving their shops and terminal away from Crestline, it could be possible that such a sum would be spent right in our own community. But Tuesday after after- - - after- noon as we passed through this im immense - mense immense building filled with gigantic automatic machinery and modern labor saving devices the thing we kept wondering about was "how could they do it for two millions." H. O. Waechter, general division foreman, called it a "real shop" and we believe Mr. Waechter knows his business. One couldn't help being a little envious of the fellows who have an opportunity to work in this great working palace. There is every modern device for taking care of the engines as they are brought into the "house" and the men who know how can do a lot of work very efficiently in a small space of time. Every en engine - gine engine which comes in off a "run" on -he road is given the same treatment. When the engine first leaves its train it is run on to the inspection pit east of the shop and given a thorough in inspection. - spection. inspection. A report of any needed repairs is made and the report is shot through an automatic tube via. the air route to the office of foreman Cairns. There the repairs are prop properly - erly properly checked over and the report is again shot through an air tube to a "section foreman" house. in the engine

TROUBLESOME FOREIGNERS Make More Trouble for the Police - One of Them Lands in County Jail and Another Placed Under a Peace Bond. As a result of another row on Rail Railroad - road Railroad avenue Saturday night, three for foreigners, - eigners, foreigners, said to own both the Central Hotel and a pool room next to Frye's restaurant were brought ino the May Mayor's - or's Mayor's court. One of them, Peter Pappa Pappahogos, - hogos, Pappahogos, was placed under a peace bond of $100 for one year and another, Sam John, was bound over to common pleas court on a charge of assault with intent to rape. In default of bond in the sum of $1000 Marshal Crawford took John to the county jail Monday afternoon te await the action of the grand jury. It appears that three men cwn both of the places stated above. Report has it that they have frequently quarrelled and have given the police trouble be before. - fore. before. They don't seem to have been able to get along very well and accord according - ing according to information received the details of Saturday night's affair do not make just the kind of reading this paper likes to send into the homes of its patrons After having disposed of the case as indicated above Mayor Keyser advised the three men to dissolve partnership and they would all be able to get along better. It is stated that the fellows were working along the line of the Mayor's advice the first of the week. Charged with being an accomplice in a case of assault with intent to rape, Mary Parella, was bound over to the grand jury Wednesday morn morning - ing morning by Mayor Keyser under a bond of $500. Her attorney, B. J. Cattey, ! stated a bond would be filed later in the day and the woman was released. The alleged crime is said to have been committed on a fourteen year old girl in a West Bucyrus street home. The complaint was made by the girl's father. William Nichols, of Galion, was arrested Tuesday evening by Penn Pennsylvania - sylvania Pennsylvania patrolman Shaffer on West Main street and charged with fast and reckless driving. He was fined $15 and costs by Mayor Keysr.

There are three sections to the en engine - gine engine house and each section has a foreman. While this report is find finding - ing finding its way to the engine house the engine goes from the inspection pit to the ash pit where the fire is clean cleaned - ed cleaned and it is ready for the engine house where it is properly turned on the electrically operated turn table and run into a stall in the house which has been previously prepared for it. By the time it reaches its destination the section foreman has studied the report of the repairs needed and he is ready to go to work on it without delay. The engines are soon ready to be put back into use and make money for the railroad company. Of course all the heavy lifting, etc., is done by the electrical crane which travels all over the en engine - gine engine house and much of the other work is automatic but men with brains are required to operate these devices. The engine house proper is an immense light and airy place. One would expect a lot of smoke and dirt there but there Isn't As the en engines - gines engines come into the round house a big smoke duct is lowered over the smoke stack which sucks the smoke from the stack of the locomotive by air, carries it over to the power house and then out the one big smoke stack. Toilet rooms, bath rooms and wash rooms have been made a feature of this new shop. There is hot and cold water running constantly and the places are kest Eng by attendants. absolutely clean Engineers and fire firemen - men firemen who come in off the road can take a shower bath and get into spick and span clean clothing before leav leaving - ing leaving the shop if they desire.

Friday afternoon the prisoners were taken over to the county jail in automobiles donated by citizens for the trip. Just about this time B. J. Cattey, attorney for the alleged bootleggers, with attorney Frank Pigman, of Galion, filed application in Judge Keller's probate court ask asking - ing asking for a writ of habeas corpus which was counted on to free the prisoners Saturday. Shortly before noon Saturday, Judge Keller granted the prayer of the petition and issued a writ which was served at once on Sheriff Knap Knappenberger, - penberger, Knappenberger, directing him to free the prisoners. But the sheriff had something up his sleeve and threw a bomb when he calmly announced that he would refuse to release the prisoners; that he was holding them for federal of officer's. - ficer's. officer's. At 11:30 Saturday morning, Capt. B. W. Perkins of the internal reve revenue - nue revenue department had landed from Toledo and reported at the court house. He claimed possession of the prisoners and the habeas corpus writ fell flat. The charges were yet to be formally made in federal court, but possession of devices for making liquor, possession of the liquor and manufacture of it will be the basis of the charges. Immediately on the filing of the application for the writ of habeas corpus, Sheriff Knappenberger's of office - fice office communicated with the internal revenue department, and the appear appearance - ance appearance of a revenue inspector was all arranged for before the prisoners could be freed. In applying for the writ, Atty's Cattey and Pigman claimed that the proceedings at Crestline were all ir irregular - regular irregular and would not hold. Their application set forth that the men were fined by the mayor without an affidavit being filed against them, and that the ordinance under which they were apprehended and fined, had not yet become effective, since it was not an emergency measure.

NEW TRAIN SCHEDULES Became Effective on Both Railroads Through Crestline Last Sunday. New train schedules became effec effective - tive effective on both the Pennsylvania and the Big Four railroads last Sunday. The changes on the Pennsylvania are very little but the Big Four has made some material changes which will benefit Crestline. No. 19, a fast train for the south and west, will leave Crestline at 10:04 in the morn morning. - ing. morning. Up to this time Crestline peo peopie - pie peopie who wanted to go to Columbus were compelled to take the slow train to Galion and board the fast train there. Crestline has a new train to Cleveland, leaving here at 5:10 in the morning and reaching Cleveland at 7:45. No. 45 now leaves Cleveland at 6:15 in the evening and is due. in Crestline at 8:02. No. 44 now leaves Crestline at 10:10 in the morning and arrives in Cleveland at 11:15. Alto Altogether - gether Altogether Crestline will have thirty-six passenger trains a day stopping at this city. There is probably not an another - other another small city in this section of the country with such excellent railroad facilities. Such cities as Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, In Indianapolis, - dianapolis, Indianapolis, St. Louis, Buffalo, Fort Wayne and hundreds of intervening smaller cities can be reached from Crestline with direct fast trains al almost - most almost any hour of the day or night. Below is given the departing time of the trains from Crestline.' Both the railroads use central time at Crestline, but the time given below is Eastern time, as Crestline now uses Eastern time:
