Settlement of Mexican Trouble Depends on Attitude of General Carranza HARRISBURG lllSlll TELEGRAPH LXXXIII— No. 132 CITY PLANNERS TO BE OF ASSISTANCE IN LIGHTING PLANS George B. Tripp Mentions New Civic Body in Paper on In terurban Illumination COMMITTEE REPORT FEATURE Harrisburg Electric Head Makes Valuable Suggestions at Na tional Convention Special to The Telegraph Philadelphia, Juno 4.—Suggestions fox- the installation of a nation-wide system of interurban highway elec tric lighting were incorporated in an interesting report submitted this morning at the thirty-seventh conven tion of the National Electric Light Association by George B. Tripp, vice president and general manager of the Harrisburg Light and Power Company and ■chairman of the special commit tee on interurban lighting. In recommending 100-candlepower high-etflciency mazda lamps with re fractors for the purpose, Mr. Tripp explained that the committee's inves tigations by personal observation and correspondence indicated two things: first, a great lack of information in hand about interurban lighting of highways: second, a unanimous desire on the part of central station men to obtain information in detail regarding the latest developments in lighting units suitable for highway lighting. In conclusion, Mr. Tripp's report suggested that a new committee be appointed early enough to permit the body to make a thorough and wide spread investigation so as to present a definite report at the 1915 convention. In part Mr. Tripp's report was as follows: .Suburban and Interurban Lighting Every suburban and interurban highway that is not adequately lighted offers an opportunity for the installation of such of the lighting systems suggested in this report as are best suited to the local conditions. The greatest opportunities are offered by the highways frequented in.the main by automobiles and horse-drawn vehicles. The Lincoln Highway is one of the great projected high ways that should be properly lighted. People generally have not been accustomed to adequate Illumina tion at night on suburban and in terurban roads, and only those who have occasion to travel these roads at night realize the disad vantages of the inadequate illu mination now in effect. Even though the need of ade quate lighting is recognized, com paratively few people have any idea of the best methods of light ing different kinds of roads. Therefore, in order to accomplish the correct Installation of high way lighting, it will be necessary to do a large amount of educa tional work with the public gen erally and with the various light ing committees of civic and mu nicipal bodies. Such educational work should em phasize the danger of accidents and rcbbcries that might occur as [■Continued on Page «1 Bones of Soldier Killed in Battle of Gettysburg Found Buried in Garden Special In The Telegraph Gettysburg, Pa..

DEMOCRATIC GANG RIDES ROUGH SHOD OVER COMMITTEE Nothing Not Dictated by Palmer and McCormick Allowed to Be Considered "CHEAT AND A FRAUD" So Says Flynn of White House Twins and Little Fellows They Control Democratic State committeemen and county leaders who remained in the city to-day were still dizzy over the unheard-of procedure of the bosses Sesterday in taking the framing of a party declaration of principles out of the hands of the State committee and placing the drafting and promulgation of the document in the power of a hand-picked committee. This action, taken late yesterday afternoon, was the most amazing piece of political machine bossism ever known in the State and the charge of Representative John M. Flynn. of Elk, in the State committee session yesterday afternoon that the action "was a cheat and a fraud" and "a piece of political she nanigin" found many an echo In the city last night and to-day. Democratic leaders and observers of yesterday's proceeding said that it showed the hollowness of the Demo cratic protestations about the people ruling and opened to question the sin cerity of the declaration for local option. There is no doubt that the machine headed by Palmer, McCormick and Morris controlled yes terday's meeting two to one and that it could have forced through a reso lution declaring the moon was made of green cheese if the bosses desired, and why the men who run the. party organizatiorf refused to allow the State committee to have a voice in framing the platform passed comprehension of many men. Some thought that the leaders wanted to avoid a showdown on the issue because some of the fel lows who stand with Palmer and McCormick are not as ardent in their declarations for local option as are the two nominees. In fact, there are some county bosses who may not be. for local option. At any rate, whether it was to shield these followers of Pal mer and McCormick or to avoid a row, it was the most arrant piece of ma chine. politics ever played in Harris burg. and that is saying a great deal, even when the Palmer-McCormick leadership is mentioned. How It Was Done The row started when the harmony songs of Palmer and McCormick and Dan Hart were still in the air. The last of the candidates had been dis played when a mild-mannered, erst while insurgent from New Castle, named C. H. Aiken, put In a reso lution for a committee of nine to meet with the candidates and draft a plat form. At the bottom of this reso lution was written In a handwriting said by some to havn been that of A. Mitchell Palmer these words: "and be authorized and empowered to prepare and publish a declaration of princi ples." When this was slipped through Chairman Morris told the committee men to elect their division chairmen. The committee was named with Aiken as chairman and a lot of specially [Continued on Page 4.] William Collins, Perry County Farmer, Commits Suicide by Hanging Special to The Telegraph Blain, Pa., June 4.—William Col lins, a well-known farmer living two miles southeast of Blain, committed suicide this morning.

HARRISBURG, PA., THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 4, 1914., M'CORMICK SETS NEW PACE FOR PRIMARY CAMPAIGN EXPENSES Admits He Personally Spent Enor mous Sum of $33,274.73 For Nomination BULK IS NOT REPORTED More Extravagances Will Be Made Public When Palmer-McCor mick League Reports Vance C. McCormick, who estab lished a record for expenditures in the campaign which .resulted In his elec tion as Mayor of Harrisburg in 1902, has set a new hish mark for cost of primary election campaigns in Penn sylvania in 1914. According to hid sworn statement filed at the Capitol late yesterday afternoon, he spent $33,274.73. The statement of the Palmer-McCormick campaign commit tee, which paid most of the expenses of his campaign tour and contributed to the cause .of the White House twins in the counties of the State, has yet to be tiled, and when It does come along there can be gained some idea of what it cost to put McCormick over as the Democratic nominee for Governor with all the forces of the national adminis tration and the whole State machine behind him. Suffice it to say that his account of $33,274.73 is as memorable a mark in a State primary campaign as was his historic campaign for Mayor. Verily, running for oflice is no longer any sport for a poor man. Fifteen Times More Than Ryan The McCormick expenditures, which arc* more than twice those of Boies Penrose, who was a target of all par ties opposed to the Republicans, are about fifteen times greater than those shown on the statement of Michael J. Ryan .his rival for the nomination. Ryan says he spent $2,723.49. Mr. McCormick received one contri-' bution of $5,000 from his sister. The McCormick newspaper gives this ac count of his statement: "His expense account contains 282 items,, showing the expenditure of every cent.

CRUSHED CAR ON THE BRIDGE {I J I / | .1,/,, ' WB^^BFil "At first I thought it was a deer, but as it got nearer I saw it was a bear. It reached a sand-bar in the river, anrf as it walked across the bar It could be plainly s°en to be a bear. I watched it until it reached the other side of the river and disappeared into the mountains." Several trackmen who were at work around the point of the mountain saw the back object swimming in the water.
