Tango and "hesitation," schottische

le not very distant future in a big
immer pavilion on the slopes of Oak
nob or some similar vantage point in
eservoir Park.
City Commissioner. M. Harvey Tay
>r, superintendent of parks and pub
c property, has a plan for the erec
on of such a structure under con
deration.
The dancing pavilion has been sug
2sted to the park commissioner as
possible source of income for a sum
ier band concert fund.
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. Per
nally 1 think it would l»c a good

Small Rate Per Head
"The pavilion or dance, floor could
erected and the expense of build
and operation could be more than
Vie up by charging a nominal ad
ssiou fee per couple—seme cities
n told fix a rate of five or six cents
head. The expenses would include
e up-keep of a good orchestra, pro
ling good music, for keeping the
or in good shape, and for a sutfi
•ntly large and qualified staff of at-j
ldants on hand to see that the.
nces were properly conducted and
objectionable characters admitted.
"Providing for band concerts either
the pavilion or In some other part
the park from the proceeds Is a new
?ught, however. But I don't see
ij- this wouldn't work out satisfac
■ily if the other would.
"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

; —its church people or others who

'Should a dancing pavilion be erect
in Reservoir Park, what would be

'The slopes of Oak Knob have boen

Rnilroad officials have been assur

This information came to the offi

This information was posted at all
railroad shops and stations and
throughout the yards of the Pennsyl

employe now at work. For the bene
fit of the strikers copies of the letters
have been posted-at Seventh and Reily
streets and at other points where
pickets gathered daily.
The warning from the other brother
hoods had little effect upon the en

REPAYS LONG Will
OF EAGER CROWDS
Hum of Approval Follows Ap
pearance of Clean-cut
Pageant
Babbling balloonmen, persistent
peanut peddlers, joyous juvenilis,
reminiscent rummies, in the crowds,
crowds, crowds that poured from rus
tic home, and city flat and surged and
eddied up and down the streets, then
stood for a half hour of intoxicating
delight as the gorgeous, glittering pa
gent, many colored, cosmopolitan,
brought to their view a hint of the
wonders that will appear within the
big tent of Ringling Brothers circus
'this afternoon and this evening.
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

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.

Rose and others in the plot which
resulted in the murder of Herman Ro
senthal, lor which Charles Becker is
being tried for the second time, un
derwent the ordeal of cross-exami
nation to-day. He admitted that he
had lied on many occasions in respect
to the murder, but swore that his
story of the events leading up to the
crime was correct in its essential de
tails.
Counsel for the defense fired ques
tion after question at the witness in
an endeavor to show that his testi
mony connecting Becker with the con
spiracy was false. In no important
points, however, was (he witness" story

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

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.

The new press will include many de

printing of a newspaper such- as has
never been turned out in this city, and
as It will be constructed for high

• All manner of time-saving devices
have been included in the specifica

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

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.
