J., Oct. 4 The greatest proving ground for ordnance In the world, principally for the ue of the United States Government, will be established here along the Great Egg Harbor niter by the Dethlehem Steel Company. It H to exceed In area and equipment even the famous "Krupp grounds In Germany, now the finest anywhere. Official announcement of this develop ment, for which a tract of let el land nf teen miles long and from one to three broad has recently been purchased, was made to day to the State Commission of Conserva tion and Development, In a hearing at Tren ton by William B. Massey, representative for the steel corporation. The tract con talnsSO.OOO acres. Hore than 1000 deed have been obtained through Maseey & Kdwards, of Ocean City, many of thrm with extreme difficulty, In volving extended searches and hunts for missing heirs throughout the country, Hundreds of men will get, employment- In the Industry as soon as the tract can be placed In readiness, which will take several months, and will mean an expenditure of hundreds of thturands of dollars. But the proving ground Is only the Immediate ob ject, according to tho statements made to the commission. An extension of the steel works Is contemplated which may eventual ly employ thousands of men. The tract Ilea between Mays Tending and Tuckahoe, bounded on the east by tho Great Egg Harbor Ttlver, on the south by the Tuckahoe Illver and on the west by the county boulevard. On tho northern end lies this municipality, which will be head quarters for the business, and here will be established representatives from many gov ernments, from tho armies and navies, watching the tests made of -ordnance pur chased from the Bethlehem Steel Company. That this will be the permanent proving ground for all the, company's plant was gathered from statements made today, end no expense, it vwih Intimated, vtould be spared to Improve the entire tract and make It famous tie world over. Most of the United States ordnance will be tested here and exhaustive experiments will be con ducted with new guns and ammunition, as well as armor plate. The possibilities ot the project, It was stated, are only limited to the amount of "preparednesa," not only in the United States, but In foreign nations after the war. HUx-kholder of the TuVe Superior Cor poration, who held their annual meeting to day at 410 Market street. Camden, tried hard to learn how much money had been made out of tvar orders here lately, but failed. J. Prater Tavlor, tlce president of the corporation, presided at the meeting, and lie could not he Induced to tell. Stockholders from all corners ot the meet ing room questioned: some Interetedlj, some apologetically, some almost threaten ingly; but to them all Mr. Taylor's answer was the same: "I cannot give you the figures," he would say; "I can only tell you that they are satisfactory." One of the stockholders suggested that what might be "satisfactory" to some per sons would not be "satisfactory" to other, but Mr. Taylor would shed no light on the burning question. It would be unitlse. he said; "It was not a thing to be given out let competitors learn." REFUSES FIGURES ' The first questioner on the topic uug gested that the net earnings for the last three monthi might be (6,000,000 or J7.000, 000, and Mr. Taj lor quickly crushed tho ue of figures and took up adjectives In stead. T,ater on another stockholder wanted to Know If that first question was an In spired one for the sake of gtvlhg publicity to those figures. Mr. Taylor said It cer tainly was not. Mr. Tavlor Indicated that, while the net earnings were) "satisfactory," It would be additionally unwise to name them, because there was no telling how long they would keep up. The net earnings, whatever they are. are now due In great part to contracts for shell steel from the Canadian Government. From what Mr. Taylor said to the stock holders there la a vtell;denned belief among steel men that tit war might end any where from sir, eight to ten months, and that would mean "good-by' to shell steel contracts, and baclc to making steel rails. The profits would drop. AS .TO KN'D OF WAR Mr. Taylor did not make clear any rea son for believing that the wur was going to end that soon; he simply remarked the prevailing opinion. That reminded another stockholder that, with all the steel com panies publishing their enormous net earn ings, there must be some reason why they weren't receiving similar news. This was received In more or less silence. Some of the more determined questioners were rather taken aback when one man suggested a voto of confidence In Mr. Tay lor. He forestalled thin after the de termined questioners Interjected that they were attacking no one's integrity, and put his report to a vote. It passed without any one voting nay, although It seemed from the number of ayes shouted there were hardly .more than eight or nine out of a possible forty-odd men present. As nearly everybody who Is interested In the Lake Superior Corporation knows, its best money getter Is the Algoma Steel riant. SOMEWHAT PESSIMISTIC One gathered from conversations ot the stockholders that the meetlrur was more or less of a disappointment.

Caluma FIt A tlgorous campaign to Itiireuse the rev enues of the city without an additional ta on real estate Is being conducted by the Philadelphia Real Estate llonid t Councils ate required by Ian to fix the tax rate for 1M7 before Dtcembt. ' I fib. and tho board has the promlu- mT .jooeph E. Gaffney, chairman of Councils' Finance Committee, that the rate will not bo deter mined until a public hearing Iiuh been held to dlficum vvajs and means. Tho Philadel phia Real Estate Board will vend repre sentatives to the hearing to show how (5,000,000 In additional revenue needed by the city can bo raised by the taxntlon of things other than real estate. It Is con tended by the board that real estate holdors of Philadelphia aro paying 90 per cent of the taxes of the cllj. Pavld K. Dallam, chairman ot the legislative committee of the board, said today that MiIh was an unjust burden on the real estate owners ot the city. CONDITIONS IN NEW TORK He pointed out that In New York banks pay taxes nggrrgattng $4,500,000 and hold ers of special franchises pay (4.000,000. In Philadelphia, he said, bank escape taxa tion and so do holders of special franchises. Mr. Dallam argued that It was within the power of Councils to gain additional rev enue to the amount of (",000,000 or (4,000, 000 by taxing things which now go un taxed. The remaining revenue needed, he hald. coyld le pjjtalned by legislation. , The'board 'has provided the"siayor and members of Councils With a immphlot which sets forth Its views regarding taxation. The pamphlet was written by Mr. Dallam. In comparing Philadelphia with otlicr cities In the matter of taxation, Mr. Dallam writes: "We -mist accept at once that In comparison with other large cities Phil adelphia Is undertaxed. "While New Torlt raises by direct taxation about CJS per capita, Philadelphia raises only about (14. Whereas other cities raise their taxes from maqy subjects, wo practically tax only one. What we want Is no that ten people out of one hundred should pay taxes, but such charges should be distributed among fifty people.'' WANTS MANUFACTURERS TO PAY Mr. Dallam urges thut manufacturers, dealers and contractors should be taxed as follows: "I think that all manufacturers, dealers, traders, contractors and others who pro duce or sell, should take out a license and pay at the rate now established, say (1 per thousand on their output or product. At this writing. Instead of a million and a quarter now collected by the State, we could collect at least two and a half to three millions of dollars. This simply from dealers, manufacturer and contractors alone. "There are classified lu the city directory for 1)1!

The time was fixed for the parade on the receipt of a telegram from Colonel Charles C Allen, commander of the First Reglmt it, that his troops would not arrive tn Phlla. delphla until late Sunday night or. early Monday morning.

A. T)AN JOHNSON, president of the JJ American League, was- outspoken in condemnation of McGrnw's ac tion. "Personally," he said, "I think It was nn outrage nnd lml it occurred in tho American League there would have been hell to pay." "Will the commission take the matter up?" he was asked. "That is a matter for the National Lcaguo to settle. If they uro not bis enough to handle it, they should go out of business," replied Johnson. Garry Herrmann wus seen in his room at the Wnldorf, but had noth ing to sny in connection with yes terday's game in Brooklyn. "This is the first I had heard of the incident," he snid. "At first I thought it was a joke." "Do you still consider it a joke?" "No, I believe now it was a d fool act." He declined to say whether the National Commission, of which ho is chairman, would act, The next meet ing of the commission will be held in Boston next Friday. The report that a meeting would be held today proved to be erroneous, By CHANDLER D. RICHTER NEW YORK, 6ct. 4. Ban Johnson, president of the American League, Insists that the fiasco In Brooklyn ycnterday does not concern the junior organization In any way and thut he will not consent to a meet ing of the National Commlrslon to prob the charges made by John McQraw and the playing of the Olants yesterdav. Tin "Czar" Insists that, the. National League handle tho affair on Its own hook, but ths affair really Is a baseball malterW na tional Importance and" nhould bp acted upon by the supremo body of baseball, and not In a hsty manner. A great attempt Is being m&de t& covsr UP the bungle which virtually gave "Brook lyn the National Iurueppcnnant, thanks to the double victory ofMhe' Braves ovsr the fhlllles. Interviews bj" the score arl being handed out to cover Up the greatest scandal in the history of the national game, but they failed and the National Commission was fenced to act Writers point out the fact that ths Olants were suffering fronfl reaction after the run of twenty-nix consecutive victories, and that the total of base hits clearly indi cates thut tho Dodgers elugged their waj- to victory; but all the statements of league presidents, baseball writers and partisan funs cannot convince a large percentage of the IG.OOO fans who attended the game that the Olants tried to win. It Is possible that the Giants tried their best and really were suffering reaction, , but when a major league ball team that showed such great possibilities a few days before and had just completed a recor' run of twenty-six consecu'lve victories plays baseball as New Tor did, there Is only one conclusion to draw that they did not tare particularly about winning. ' COULDN'T FIX GAME. One would be foolish to make the claim thut the game was a deliberate sell-out. as II would be. Impossible to fix a ball game ; but to our way of thinking", when an aggregation of ball players make no greater attempt to earn their eulary than they dd yesterday, it virtually is the same things It the Giants had fought the Dodgers after they had taken the lead there woull have been absolutely nothing to the game, as Brooklvn had crumbled badly; but lie Graw's men, with few exceptions, played the hand-shaking game, which Is known among ball players as a friendly contest, though decided on Its merits. Brooklyn was game. One piust hand them that They were trvlnc and; taking a healthy cut at the ball, but they were a disorganized and worried aggregation, an could easily have been taken off their feet with a show of aggressiveness on the. part of the Giants. Instead of being aggressive and hustling to hold the lead they had gained, the Giants played a most listless game. It would not have been so bad if the apparently poor fielding breaks, such as bad-bounding balls' and hits going Just out of the fielder's reacl, had been of the every-day variety, but thty vreie not. FLAY WAS lNDIFFDnUNT In the first place the Infield played totally different for the various hitters than they usually play, while the outfield was sta tionary. Balls continually were thrown tes the wrong base and chances to maWe sue itsiful plays were pavstd up with, such , legulartty that one could hardly believe, it was possible that the Giants were anHkJag but a high school team, The climax was reached w"hn tanager ?IcQrw refused to remain In the ban passt, declaring that he was dUgusted wMfe Mm work of hi teanu lie said that 4m lvr would tolerate lodlttereoee and rtlinsisi pf his intrvKtkw uti as the Giastts wr CeaUMtl Fsse Year.
