Military Funeral Arranged For Seamen W HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH LXXXIII — No. 130 DIM FIRST 111 MIHII HIGHWAY SYSTEM OF LIGHTING Up-river Town Will Get Street Lamps That Will Fit in Nation-wide Plan MATERIALS NOW ON THE WAY Equipment Will Be Installed Im mediately Upon Arrival; Lo cation of the Lights Dauphin will be the first town in this section to be provided with the new system of electric street lighting in accordance with the general nation wide plan for the lighting of inter urban highways. Wiring, poles and other materials have been ordered for Dauphin bor ough by, the Harrisburg Light and Power Company, which will furnish the current, and the installation of 1 ht new system will begin just as soon as the equipment is received. Twenty lights, possibly, will be placed at advantageous points in the thriving little up-river town and in the very near future it won't matter so very, very much whether Mr. Moon rises on time behind the towering mountain near by or not —so far as the illumination of the borough streets are concerned, that is. The type of lamp to be used will be the 100-candlepower, high-efficiency >Ta.zds, with refractors—the same kind, by the way, which will lie treated of by George B. Tripp, vice-president and general manager of the Harris burg Light and Power Company, in his paper Thursday before the Na tional Electric Light Association at Philadelphia. Plan Discussed in Paper Mr. Tripp is chairman of the com mittee on the lighting of Interurban highways and his paper contains much valuable data and many suggestions relative to the plan for instituting the interurban lighting in towns here and there throughout the country with a view to ultimately establishing a satis factory system of illumination on all connecting roads over which there is motor touring and other travel. Lynn, Mass., has experimented with the new system of lighting success fully and the commitee had opopr tunity on a recent visit to see how the (tcheme worked out. Other meetings were held in Boston. New York and this city. The committee consists of representative men from all over the country. In addition to Mr. Tripp the personnel includes: C. G. M. Thomas. New York; N. R. Dirge, Schenectady. N. Y.; C. A. B. Halvorson, Lynn. Muss.; H. J. Gille, Seattle; C. X. Stannard, Denver: E. S. MarloW, Washington, L>. S. M. Ken nedy. Eos Angeles; P. S. Young and F. T). Pembleton. Xewark. X. .1.; R. S. Wallace, Peoria, 111., and Willis Mac lachlan, Toronto, Canada. Town of Auto Travel Dauphin is one of the principal towns on the way up the Susquehanna from this city and one that is prob ably used more generally than any other by automobiiists. The borough authorities recently signed the contract with the local company to furnish the current and this will be carried to Dauphin by great cables. For some time many of the homes of Dauphin have been lighted by electricity and similar power has been furnished from the same source to the Blough Company's fac tory. Following are the points at which the lights will be placed: Intersections in Erir street at Race. Schuylkill. Swa tara. Market, Church and Delaware, and in Erie street south of the rail road crossing, at Shaffer's steps, at the intersections in Allegheny street of Church. Market, Swatara, Schuylkill and at the intersections of Juniata, t'hurch. Market and Swatara streets. DISEASE PREVENTION DAY TO BE NAMED IN INDIANA By Associated Press Indianapolis, Ind.

GENERAL CIIZA'S STATEMENT RECEIVING AHENTION IN CAPITAL Rebel Says There Is Nothing to Mediate and Huerta Will Be Met at Point of Sword By Associated Press Washington, D. C., June 2.—While administration leaders still looked to Niagara Falls to-day for the decision of the mediators over the question of Constitutionalist representation at the mediation conference, the semi-official statement from General Carranza's headquarters at Durango, criticising the course of the South American me diators, attracted widespread atten tion. Such expressions in the state ment as that the Constitutionalists "point out the fact that conquerers are not usually wont to permit the conquered to dictate terms of peace, which is practically what is to be asked of them by the commission," were variously interpreted. Adminis tration chiefs declined to comment on the statement. Declarations from Nia gara Falls stated the Durango expres sion did not alter the mediators' opin ion toward the Constitutionalists. Hope was not lacking that the dif ferences between the mediators and the Constitutionalists could be dissi pated by exchanges which recently 1 were initiated by the delivery of the Carranza note at Niagara Falls.

PUBLIC FUNERAL FOR EMPRESS SEAMEN TO BE HELDTOMORROW Military Organizations Will Escort Bodies Through Streets of Quebec IDENTIFICATION PROGRESSING Several Persons Claim the Same Corpse Because of Its Mutilation By Associated Press Quebec, June 2. —The first public funeral of victims of the collision be tween the steamer Empress of Ireland and the collier Storstad is to be held Wednesday, when the bodies of nine of the crew will be burled. Mayor Napoleon Druin, aided by Canadian Pacific officials and promi nent men of the town, is arranging for the ceremony, which will be an imposing one. There is to be a public procession, headed by tho Royal Ca nadian garrison artillery band and de tachments from the warship Essex and the local military forces will be in line. The schools are to close and for a time business will be suspended. Responsibility for the collision, just now a subject or bitter controversy, will be fixed by the royai commission appointed to make a thorough inquiry. The hearings will begin June 9, but whether in Montreal or Quebec ha>" not yet been deflnitely decided. Disputes on \Vlinri' The number of disputes that have arisen in the funeral shed is a sur prising feature of the identification work that has been going on there. In one case no less than five persons contended for the possession of one of the little girl victims, with the result that, when the pier was closed last night the. body was still classed as unclaimed. So altered are the features of tho dead that many mistakes are made. Some who were sure at first that they had recovered the bodies of dear ones later wavered in their belief and some times even returned to affirm their previous impression. A curious case was that of Mrs. Price ,of New Zealand, who had been identified by her niece, Miss Townsend, of New Zealand. Somewhat, of a dilemma was created when fifteen or sixteen of the Empress' crew arrived on the scene and claimed the body as that of Miss Leder. formerly stew ardess of the ill-fated steamer. While the seamen were insistent in their identiiicatlon it was Miss Townsend who won the day, as she swore posi tively that the jewelry worn by Mrs. Price was known to her, and she was hacked up by Mr. Webber, of the Ca nadian Pacific Railway, who knew Mrs. Price personally. Bodies Mutilated Some of the bodies have been so mutilated by being battered that those who identiiied them as men were told that they were those of women. The reason for the mistake was that tho hair had been drawn back tightly. One body identified late yesterday was that of Leonard Palmer, the Eon don Financial News man, who organ* [Continued on Page 8] "Chief Sam" and His Followers Leave Maine By Associated Press Portland, Maine, June 2.
