In other cities, Mr. Taylor says. the lan has been followed successfully id the city is put to no expense be luse just enough of an admission is larged to .pay for maintenance. Re use of the fact that the pavilion ould be located in a public park and ider the jurisdiction of the city au orities, it would not be permissible conduct it at a profit. Mr. Taylor -day said: "The idea had been suggested to me i several occasions and 1 have al ays had the thought in my own head it I haven't taken any definite steps the matter because I preferred to arn just now the people of the city auld feel about such a project.

"While I've had this plan in mind la.ven't looked up any data as yet," nt on Mr. Taylor. "As I said. I "pre •red to learn how Harrisburg's peo- ; —its church people or others who n't go in, or care for dancing as •ule—feel about this. And I should e to obtain some expression of opin i on this subject for I think it is matter that is well worth looking o.

The people began to line up along Sixth street as early as 9 o'clock, for the parade, it was bulletined, would start at ten: but it was well on toward noon when the cavalcade moved out of the show grounds. The populace, who flanked the streets four deep, however, were well repaid for their tiresome wait. Everything was as fresh and bright as a Fifth avenue fashion show, and beasts and show people alike I looked well-kept. There was an air of veracity about the whole. The Roman chariot driver looked almost Roman; and as for the Arabs who will give some remarkable exhibitions, there wasn't any doubt that they were from the desert. A dozen camels harnassed to a band wagon was a novel feature; and twen ty-six elephants brought up the rear. There was a calliope, of course, at the end, and one in the middle, too. And the lour bands played all along the line. "Putting One Over'' I Along about 11 o'clock, when the I crowd was beginning to think that the | parade ought to appear, there was a I shout of "Here she comes" and band I music floated down the street. In a i little while appeared the Washburn j Midway shows ladies' military band, land a little parade trailing along back of it. It traversed the route that the ! big parade later passed over, and it's a safe bet that there wasn't a person in . the crowd that wasn't fooled into j thinking that at last the big pageant [Continued on Page 17] KONG TURNS DOWN OFFER i Cincinnati, Ohio, Slay 15. —John Evers, second baseman on the Boston National League team, at Cincinnati, in a published interview, declared that | Johnny Kling, former Cub and Boston : Brave team and last year a Redleg, i has just turned down one of the big i gest offers made to a player in the his tory of the game.

BIG GOSS SEXTUPLE PRESS BUILT FOR THE WILL PRINT BIGGEST AND BEST PR: There is no more important factor in the making of a modern newspaper than the press or presses upon which it is printed from day to day. Time was when the public had little or no Concern in the mechanical equipment of the newspaper, but nowadays tho importance of the newspaper to the average community is so well recog nized that anything that has to do with the production of that newspaper is of interest to the public. Throughout its long history tho Telegraph has maintained a close re lation to its constantly increasing body of readers. Only recently there cam« into possession of the management files of the Telegraph covering the whole period of the first Mexican War, and the fact that, these files were pre served by a prominent citizen of ono of the Important Central Pennsylvania towns, shows a personal interest and appreciation of the Telegraph of that earlier period. It Is quite a common thing to receive letters from readers of the Telegraph of the third and fourth generation, these readers repre senting continuous family subscrip tions.

Favorable reports have been received from all parts of the State, but the fight is be ing vigorously waged by the other candidates, and the members of the committee feel that now is the time for Judge Kunkel's friends in Dau phin county to show their colors. The campaign has been so one-sided In Dauphin county that it is feared some, voters may neglect to vote the nonpartisan ticket because they feel that Judge Kunkel will have votes and to spare.

SSS EVER BOUGHT FOR A ITAR I WILL PRINT THE TELEGRAPH It is for this reason that the an nouncement that the Telegraph is to have w'ithin a few weeks the most completo and modern newspaper press ever installed in Harrisburg has pecu liar interest to the large and ever increasing family of Telegraph read ers. A contract has been made with the Goss Printing Press Company, of Chicago, for the building of this press, which will weigh approximately fifty tons and contain over 9,000 parts. It will be twenty-five feet long, eight feet six inches wide and ten feet eight inches high. A sixty-horsepower mo tor will be required to drive the big machine. While tlie etching herewith gives a slight idea of the proportions of the press, it does not convey any adequate conception of the many ingenious de vices for the production of a modem newspaper at high speed. This press is known as the Goss high-speed, straight-line, sextuple press.. It will produce 3f>,000 fourteen, sixteen, eigh teen, twenty, twenty-two or twenty four page papers per hour, and on the days the Telegraph does not. exceed twelve pages it will print 72,000 papers TEi MEN KILLED 10 THREE lIJUHED WHEN RUBBER VflT EXPLODES Most of the Victims Were Skilled Mechanics Employed in Crude Rubber Plant By Associated Press Detroit, Mich., May 15. —Ten men were killed and three terribly injured in an explosion this forenoon which blew the plant of the Mexican Crude Rubber Company to pieces. There were about twenty-live employes working in the plant. Eleven survivors have been accounted for. Gasoline is believed to have been responsible for the explosion. Most of the victims were skilled mechanics. One body was blown through the building'. Three other bodies were burned beyond recogni tion. Three men were removed to a hospital and physicians said they did not expe:t any of the men would sur vive. Dozens of windows in buildings near the rubber company's plant were shattered. There were several reports as to the cause of the explosion, but survivors said a vat containing a large quantity of molten rubber exploded. I'liint Obliterated The plant, a one story concrete ; building in West Detroit, was almost obliterated. Flying chunks of sub stance riddled adjoining buildings and concrete blocks weighing several pounds were found more than two blocks from the scene of the explo sion. The factory of the Commerce Mo tor Car Company about 100 feet from ! the rubber concern was badly dani j aged. Nobody in the building, how j ever, was seriously hurt. ! The explosion was witnessed by I scores of pedestrians and there were many narrow escapes, On man told the police he heard a roar, the con crete factory seemed to split into three huge pieces, two of which "melted" away. The third, he said, shit high into the air, broke into fragments and went whizzing in every direction.

It will bo so built as to make possible the printing of the Tele graph up to forty-eight pages. The new press will include many de vices which will make possible the printing of a newspaper such- as has never been turned out in this city, and as It will be constructed for high speed, it will make possible the over coming of difficulties under which this newspaper now labors in caring for its present large circulation. • All manner of time-saving devices have been included in the specifica tions and the order was placed with the Goss company after a thorough investigation of the best machines now on the market. Great care has been given the minor details to provide every convenience for the operation of the machine and the elimination of the small losses of time which, singly, are trivial, but in the aggregate amount to a considerable item. It is the opinion of the makers of this press that it has almost reached the point where there does not seem to j be any prospect of further linprove- I nieut. OVERHEAD HE ID POLE ORDINANCE IS HEARING COMPLETION Commissioner H. F, Bowman and City Electrician Diehl Collect ing Data For Regulations Further assurance that the pro l posed city-wide overhead wire and I pole removal ordinance is in process |of preparation and that its introduc tion in City Council will be just a mat- I ter of time, and a comparatively short I time at that, was given to-day by City Commissioner Harry F. Bowman, su perintendent of Public Safety. Some weeks ago Commissioner Bow |man announced that City Electrician Dlehl and himself were collecting data lor the purpose of drafting an ordi nance which would require the re imovai within a certain period of years j of all the poles and wires in the city. I The measure, Mr. Bowman said, will .likely provide for the clearing of the I overhead network in certain distries within certain terms of years, tlio wireless-poleless zone to be spread gradually. In effect the proposed ordinance will carry the same provisions as the present merger ordinance requirement, under which the Harrisburg Light and Power Company is operating. . This ordinance, in fact, will be taken as a model. Gathering Details Commissioner Bowman said, how ever, that he couldn't promise the or dinance very soon because of the other department woork Incident to adver tising for bids for the year's supplies, etc. To-day he reiterated this state ment, although he said that he and Mr. Dlehl are getting together as much detail on the subject as possible. Now i can assure you that we're working on lliis and that the measure will l>e ready just as soon as we can get together all the data. Just when we'll have it ready, however, 1 can't say. We hope to get it in shape to offer in the near future, but it is impossi ble to fix a definite time. May 25 has been fixed by Mr. Bow man for opening bids for from 2.500 to 3,500 feet of aerial and from 400 to GOO feet of underground cable, 3.000 feet of galvanized wire, and 500 cop ! per sleeves for the equipment of the I new police and fire alarm system. The iunderground cable will be used in com | pleting the connections of the new police boxes recently installed. NEW RECORD IS MADE By Associated Press New York, May 15. —Irwin D.
