sing Forrer and appointing J. R. Hof
fert in his stead.
The commissioner touched on the
method in which books and reports
were kept in the commission's offices,
hinted at the manner in which plants
and trees had been given to other
nurseries, and concluded his remarks
with a prayer for fair play on the
part of Harrlsburg citizens. He said
he wanted a chance to make good as
park commissioner and didn't think he
> should be condemned before he had
I that chance. He didn't mean to be
considered as charging dishonesty, he
said, but inefficiency and looseness in
the conduct of the department.
| Again and again the shouts of the
children filled the Courthouse corri
dors while Mr. Taylor read his state
ment.
Mayor Royal defended Forrer and
replied to charges of Taylor. He
referred to the books of the office and
to letters to substantiate his defense.
When the vote was called finally
Mayor Royal and Commissioner Gor
gas voted against the resolution and
Commissioners Bowman, Lynch and
Taylor voted for it. v
Charges Against ShuntUn
After an hour's wordy battle be
tween Mayor Royal and Commission
ers Lynch, Bowman and Taylor, dur
ing which the Mayor made sensational
charges against W. H. Shuman, pro
posed appointee by the "ripper" reso
lution, Council adopted unanimously
Commissioner Gorgas' amendment to
withhold the name of Shuman pending
an investigation.
Among other things the Mayor hint
ed that Hiram Wagner, who may be
deposed for Shuman, had been hin
dered in his attempts to learn the
workings of (lie motor patrol by "tam
perlngs" with the machinery; that
Shuman was a drinking man; that
Shuman had openly used profane lan
guage about the Mayor and had de
clared that he meant to get back on
the force because he had "three Com
missioners" back of him.
Other charges of a sensational
character were made against other
patrolmen, but no names were men
tioned.
Prior to the offering of the Shu*
man-Wagner amendment, Mayor
Royal offered an amendment substi
tuting the names of the present of
ficers of his force dropped by the
"ripper" for the new appointees. This
was voted down by 3 to 2.,
Another amendment offered by the
Mayor, providing for the substitution
of Spicer for Halbert as assistant fire
chief was also voted down 3 to 2.
Mayor's Long Talk
For half an hour the Mayor decried
the action of Commissioners Bowman
Lynch and Taylor in forcing the dis
missal of his policemen. He declared
the whole purpose of the resolution
wfis to "get at" members of his force.
In conclusion the Mayor read an af
fidavit from James Mitchell, one of the
policemen dismissed a few weeks ago,
in which Mitchell sets forth that he
inquired of Commissioner Lynch, fath
er of the resolution, as to whether
there was anything in the way of
charges for inefficiency, or incompe
tency to be preferred against him.
Lynch told him, so the affidavit says,
that "there was nothing against him
personally, but that he wasn't
'straight' and 'regular' and that he
didn't need to worry as he would soon
have lots of company."
In reply Mr. Lynch declared that
'there wasn't anything criminal about
that, that he could see."
The Mayor and Commissioner Lynch
had several lively tilts, particularly
when Lynch called attention to the
dismissal of the Mayor's highway com
missioner, Elmer E. Fritchey.
The Mayor charged him with having
in mind a plan to appoint a chief in
spector after April 1 who will fill
practically .he same position as a
highway commissioner whereas he,
Lynch, had declared to the Mayor that
he dismissed Fritchey because he
believed he could do the work him
self.
Lynch Makes Return Charge
"But," added Commissioner Lynch
coolly, "if I do appoint such an offi
cial, he'll be competent and efficient—
and he won't be appointed for politi
cal reasons."
Among the charges Mayor Royal
made against certain of the new po
lice appointees, whom, however, he
failed to name, were gambling and
marital infidelity. More of the un
qualified statements that have been
made from time to time during the
councilmanic controversies developed
there.
The Mayor "Has Heard"
"Why," declared the Mayor, "1 have
heard—now I don't know whether
there is any truth of this or not —but
I've heard that one of the officers
brought down the wrath of the powers
that be upon his head because he had
arrested a relative ol' one of the city
officials."
Commissioners Bowman, Lynch,
Taylor and Gorgas looked perfectly
blank. For a moment there was si
lence.
"A relative?" asked Commissioner
Taylor.
"Who can't that me, Mayor?" asked
Commissioner Lynch.
"Surely," grinned Commissioner
Bowman, "it couldn't have been
Cousin Jim.' " James H. Grove,
Building Inspector, is a cousin of Mr.
Bowman.
"Well," mildly resumed the Mayor,
"I'm only giving you what I've heard."
Taylor Objects to "Hearsay"
Commissioner Tsfylor declared that'
he didn't want to hear these allega
tions unless they were substantiated
with proof. "Everything is 'it.Js said'
and 'what you've heard.' Why not
give us something to back it up?" Tay
lor suggested.
"Mr. Mayor," interrupted Commis
sioner Bowman, "I can say here that
if any of these charges are true and
it can be shown that the appointees
are not fit to serve, or that they dis
obey your orders or those of the chief
of police, I willingly promise you my
vote-to support their dismissal."
"Why there's no question about
that," endorsed Commissioner Lynch.
"We'll all do that."
Taylor Wants "Fair Play"
In pleading for "fair play" from the
people of Harrlsburg in that he be per- 1
mitted to have a chance to conduct his !
department and All the office to which I
he was elected by the people, Commis
sioner Taylor said:
"There Is a certain prominent gentle- I
man in this city who in announcing his 1
candidacy for the Democratic nomlna- I
tion for Governor, states as his first
plank:
" 'lf elected I will be Governor.'
"Now I have been honored by the
people with election to the office as

Why not give me a chance, to fill that'
office?"

BEITS K WIFE
IH SUBMITTING
111 FIFE OF SHINE
Marysville Man Made Wife Give
Him Her Earnings and
He Quit Work
Charged with having forced his 22-
year-old wife, Margaret, Into a life
of 111 fame, Jacob Radabaugh, 24
years old, a former resident of Marys
ville, was arrested this morning and
held by Alderman Murray under sl,-
000 bail for court.
Two months ago, his wife says,
Radabaugh took Margaret to the
house of Lottie Weaver then located
at 119 Dewberry street, and after
beating her into submission brought
men to her room. He made her give
him her earnings, and quit work, she
says.
Mrs. Radabaugh, fearful of the
wrath' of her husband made no com
plaint to any officers at first, but three
weeks ago went to the office of Alder
man Murray and told of her troubles.
She was still fearful of her husband
and did not tell the complete story.
Alderman Murray warned the hus
band that if he heiurd anything more
of such activities, he wbuld arrest
him.
Last night, the woman came to the
office of the alderman again. This
time she told the full tale of how her
husband had taken her to 138 South
Third street after the police had ex
posed the house of Lottie Weaver
and secretly had brought men to her.
At the hearing this afternoon, Sam
uel Cunkle, special officer, made the
information received from the wife,
and two witnesses told of the hus
band's threats and of the way he had
brought men around to her rooms.
Radabaugh was arrested' at Fourth
and Market streets at 11 o'clock this
morning by Policeman Balthasar
while Samuel Cunkle was in Marys
ville where he had gone to find Rada
baugh. Radabaugh escaped him there
and the local policeman was sent out
to get him when it was heard that he
was in the city.
J. Clarence Funk was the private
counsel for the woman and he will
make a thorough investigation into
the woman's story. According to Mr.
Funk, Mrs. Radabaugh and the Wea
ver woman had rooms at the house
at 138 South Third street after they
were run out of the Dewberry street
house.
count of the abolishment of one of
these subordinate offices. Speaking
for myself, I wish to say frankly and
unqualifiedly that I welcome and in
vite the fullest public criticism o£ all
my official acts, and when such criti
cism is free of malice and prejudice
and devoid of selfish personal or po
litical motives, it shall receive ray
utmost consideration and attention,
but otherwise I shall ignore it. I know
that much of this criticism is born
of malice' and prejudice and it was
accompanied by threats, both open and
covert, but the large majority of those
who are alleged to have condemned
my course have done so either through
misinformation or from overzealous
but bllned loyalty to personal friend
ship.
What Everybody Knows
"Everyone who knows anything
about the new form of government j
forced upon us knows that the only
reason given by its advocates was that i
it would enable the public business
to be trr lsacted in the same economi- i
cal, expeditious and efficient manner
in which a successful private business ■
is conducted. That was the stock
phrase used and repeated time and
again by the small minority in our city
who favored this change and who are
now leading the attack against carry
ing Into effect the very purpose for:
which the change was made. It was!
the law they advocated and supported
that abolished this office and all the ■
other offices and positions named, so'
that the new officials selected by the
people might be unhampered in their;
efforts to put the administration of
public affairs upon a business basis.
Three of the live departments created
by said act already had salaried chief
executive heads, but the Legislature:
said that three of the five newly-con- I
stituted heads should take their places
at salaries arbitrarily fixed and that,
these new executve heads should ex- j
ercise paramount authority, subject j
to the will of the majority of the j
Council. The abolishment of two of 1
these heads by the Legislature, and
concurred In by the Council, thereby
saving almost $5,000 a year In fixed
charges, seems to be acceptable to
these critics es a proper business
transaction, and if this is true, why
shouldn't the abolishment which the
Legislature effected in the third de
partment, which was allotted to me,
be concurred in also and thereby save
another $2,000 in fixed charges peri
annum, which can be applied to the!
annual salaries arbitrarily tlxed by the
Legislature for these new heads of said i
departments.
A ska Questions
"Isn't the curtailment of expenses
one of the primary objects of the act
as well as one of the fundamental
principles of private business op
erations, and didn't these critics say
the act was intended to put public
business upon a private business basis'.'
Their last utterances, however, seem
to indicate that instead of a private
business basis they really meant a
personal friendship basis. It seemed
to me that this material saving of
$7,000 to the taxpayers in fixed charges
would have appealed to the large
number of prominent business men,
who are alleged to have condemned
me, as a good business proposition,
and I still believe they do regard the
principle as a good proposition in the
conduct of their own offices. Why,
then, should It not be a sufficient rea
son to Justify my course? However,
my critics, unable to attribute this
particular instance to their favorite
cry of politics, because it abolishes an
office instead of changing Its incum
bent, are constrained to charge mo,
openly and by innuendo, with incom
petency, although in office less than
three months, and their Indispensable
favorite still drawing his salary and
presumably performing the duties for
which they pretend so much jealous
concern.
Questions Fairness
They are certa nly frank, but are
they fair? That is the reason I have
stated these criticisms are Inspired by'
personal malice and prejudice. Let
them show fair play and give me a
chance, and if I can't do the work to
the satisfaction of the majority of the
unprejudiced and fair-minded people
of our city, condemnation will then be
merited. The people had enough con
fidence In me to elect me to this office,
and I shall not agree to forfeit their
confidence and respect by submitting
to the dictation of critics who show
such manifest contempt for their Judg
ment in selecting me by attempting to
convict me of Incompetency in advance
of even a trial. All I ask In behalf
of my friends and myself is fair play,
but since my competency has been so
unfairly and wantonly attacked, for
tho information of those who I have
eaid condemned me unwittingly or

Need of Better Facilities Strikingly

1 Additional reason for better ambu

this morning when William Knighton,
of New Cumberland, lay for half an
i hour after he was seriously injured at
i the Harrisburg pipe and pipe bending
works because the city patrol and am-
I bulance was out on another call.
Knighton slipped on the Ice while
at work at the plant, where lie is a
foreman. He rolled between two cars
and was crushed. He was seriously
hurt and a request for the ambulance
was sent at once to the police station.
It had just left on a call to 1012 North
Third street, where a sick patient was
to be removed to the hospital.
Meanwhile* Knighton was suffering
intensely as he lay waiting to be taken
to a physician's care. When nothing
was heard from the hospital an auto
mobile was secured by officers at the
manufacturing plant and the man was
sent to the hospital in this way.
So badly injured was Knighton that
no thorough examination could be
made of him by physicians at the hos

not yet known. He is believed to bo

Knighton is 3 3 yearß old, lives in

Bell Suggested Use of
Radium as Cancer Cure
in Letter Ten Years Ago
Washington, D. C., Feb. 24. —A let
ter written over a decade ago by Dr.
Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor,
and recently discovered, is causing his
many friends here to wonder whether
he was not the first man to suggest
the imbedding of radium In bodily tis
sues as a curative agent for deep
seated cancers. The letter, dated July
| 21, 1903, and addressed to Dr. Z. T,
Sowers, of Washington,was made pub
lic by the National Geographic So
ciety to-day.
Speaking of the satisfactory results
radium was found to have on external
cancers and at the same time of the
unsatisfactory effect it had on deep
sealed cancers. Dr. Bell suggested the
placing of the radium In a small glass
tube and seating It in the heart of the
cancer.
from overzealous loyalty to personal
friendship I will submit the following
statement of facts:
Concerning Business Status
"During my less than three months
incumbency in office I have tried to
learn the business status of the de
partment. I found commendijJjle in
dustry displayed in completing the
record accounts of the various op
erations, appropriations and disburse
ments, but the work seems to have
been done In inverse order. The ac
counts for the year 1913 were just be
ing completed, and some work had
been done on the prior years, but the
accounts for the year 1911 were fin
ished only a few days ago. I also
i found a large accumulation of bills
| payable, some of which were present
|ed within the past week, and no ap
propirations to meet them. I found
that no record had been kept of the
debts that had been contracted, nor
of the parties with whom obligations
had been incurred, and upon inquiry,
Mr. Forrer said to me there was no
way In which this Information could
be had, although bills already filed
show a deficiency of twenty-five hun
dred dollars over appropriations and
that sum will probably be increased to
three thousand dollars by the end of
the current year. It also appeared
that large quantities of plants and
shrubbery were furnished and plant
ed for the embellishment of private
properts', with no record to show
that the city had been reimbursed. It
also appeared that a well-known
nursery company had more or less
frequent access to the city's nurser.
on the island, and it was admitted by
Mr. Forrer that upon one occasion
this company had received at least
four hundred peonies without any
compensation noted on the books of
the department. It also appears that
the new automobile purchased about
a year ago for the use of this officer
at the price of nine hundred dollars
will cost the city approximately one
thousand dollars for maintenance and
repairs, according to bills already re
ceived, >ind only four hundred dollars
provided to meet said bills. X may
also add that since December first
last, this officer has given not over
ten days' service to the city, the rest
of his time having been devoted ap
parently to creating sentiment that
would enable him to retain his pres
ent position. It is true he was sick
part of the time, for which I am very
sorry, but that did not seem to pre
vent him from directing his campaign
traducing my competency and insult
ing the people who saw fit to elect me
to the office for which he and his
friends think he holds a perpetual
leasehold.
Just SOMIC of the Things
"These are SOME of the things 1
have learned in less than three months

commend themselves to unprejudiced
minds as squaring with the good busi

loudly proclaimed before election?
"I repeat, in conclusion, that I cor>
dially invite public criticism of all ms
public acts, and so long as "they plaj
the game fair," I will not object, bui
will make an honest effort to profit
by it."

EXPERT DIRECTIONS FOR "WATBJII
WITCHING"
In "water witching" with a forked
stick, the name "witching" Is a mis
nomer, for there is no possibility of
anything that could in any sense give
it this name. The»stlck best for the
work Is witch hazel (hence Its name),
but sour apple tree wood Is nearly as
good, and I have often seen it used
with the same results as the other. A
small forked limb, about eighteen
Inches In length, is selected, leaving
about four Inches below the fork, which
is sharpened to a point. The operator
turns his hands so that the palms are
up, and grasps the ends of the forked
stick, thumbs outward, and the stick
pointing straight up. When the opera
tor feels the stick beginning to twist,
he marks the spot, and the distance
from ther~ to the place where the stick
points straight down In the depth that
you will have to dig to strike the
water. Only those whose bodies are
henvlly charged with electricity by na
ture can operate the stick with anv de
gree of success. My father, a minister,
now 82 years old, has located water
many times.—Correspondent of The

A TONIC FOR DYSPEPTICS
When food lies undigested In the
stomach it ferments and gas forms.
This gas distends the stomach and
presses on the heart, causing a pain
that sometimes arouses fear of heart
trouble. The condition in which gas
forms is caused by a low tone of the
digestive organs and a lack of rich
red blood resulting In deficient nervA
force. It is a condition that calls for
a tonic.
Dr. Williams' pink Pills, a tonic for
the blood and «'erve». have been used
with great success in the treatment of
this form of stomach trouble. Cold
baths in the morning followed by brisk
friction with a rough towel will help
as they stimulate the circulation but a
tonic treatment with Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills by building up the blood,
restoring the nerve force and making
| the stomach able to do its work gives
the most lasting benefit. With their
use the appetite Increases, digestion
becomes normal and improvement in
the general health follows with,cer
tainty.
You are trying no experiment when
you take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. They
cannot harm the most delicate sys
tem.
You can get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
at the nearest drug store. A copy of
the diet book "What to Eat and How
to Eat" will be sent free by the Dr.
Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady,

HO WTO PREVENT ~
ACID STOMACHS AND
FOOD FERMENTATION
B> n Stoinucli Spcclnliat,
As a specialist who has spent manj
years in the study and treatment oi
stomach troubles, I have been forced tc
the conclusion that most people who
complain of stomach trouble possess
stomachs that are absolutely healthy
and normal. The real trouble, thai
which causes all the lain and diffi
culty, is acid in the stomach, usually
due to, or aggravated by, food fer
mentation. Acid irritates the delicate
lining of the stomach and food fermen
tation causes wind which distends the
stomach abnormally, causing that full
bloated feeling. Thus both acid and
fermentation Interfere with and re
tard the process of digestion. The
stomach Is usually healthy and normal,
but irritated almost past endurance by
these foreign elements —acid and wind.
In all such cases—and they comprise
over 90 per cent, of all stomach dif
ficulties—the first and only step neces
sary is to neutralize the acid and stofl
the fermentation by taking In a little
warm or cold water immediately aftei
eating, from one to two teaspoonfuls
of bisurated magnesia, which is doubt
less the best and only really effective
antacid and food corrective known The
acid will be neutralized and the fer
mentation stopped almost Instantlv
and your stomach will at once proceed
to digest the food in a healthy, normal
manner. Be sure to ask your chemlsi
for the bisurated magnesia, as I have
found other forms utterly lacking ir
its peculiarly valuable properties.

MUG DESK IS
FORRER IS DISMISSED
[Continued from First Page.]
expert suggests Is that he charge th»
city an additional SI,OOO over and
above what he had heretofore been
paid, and that he take Forrer upon
his own staff to serve as his represen
tative in frequent regular visits to Har
risburg.
The services of Mr. Manning, one of
the five men of his caliber in the
country, have been obtained at a cosl
to the city of less than SBOO per year.
This included his fee and expenses.
Under the (firection of Commis
sioner Taylor much of the $106,00fl
voted for parks and playgrounds will
be expended.
Who Taylor Will TA>se
In addition to Mr. Manning, Com
missioner Taylor will also be without
the services of J. Baymond Hoffert,
assistant supcrlntende.it of parks un
der Mr. Forrer, named to be assistant
superintendent of parks and public
property.
Mr. Hoflfert's letter declining th«
post of assistant superintendent pro
vided another suprislng feature i>- the
controversy that has arisen over the
dismissal of Forrer. He had been con-
this action for some time,
it is said. It Is believed that the with- '
drawal of Mr. Manning from the city's
service increased his determination to
resign. He will remain as Commis
sioner Taylor's assistant until April 1.
Mr. Forrer said to-day that he
hasn't decided what his course ol
action will be In view of Mr. Man
ning's offer of a position on the ex
pert's staff.
