LXXXIII —
DERRY ST. PAVING
JOB TO BE STARTED
DURING THIS WEEK
Harrisburg Railways, End of East
End Work Will Be Completed
by To-night at 12
BUSY THROUGHOUT SPRING
New Trackage Will Not Be Put In
to Service, However, Be
fore Next Saturday
Paving of Derry street between
Eighteenth-and-a-half and Twenty- <
third streets will be started to-morrow
morning by the Central Construction
and Supply Company.
The start of the Derry street paving
is made possible by the completion of
the work on the reconstruction of the
Harrisburg Railways Company tracks
in Derry street from Thirteenth to
Twenty-third streets.
P. B. Musser, president of the rail
ways company, announced this morn
ing that the last bit of work on this
job will be completed by 12 o'clock
to-night. The Central Construction &
Supply Co. has only been waiting until
the traction company was through
with its end of the Derry street job
before moving a steam shovel and
force of men out on the actual work
of excavation and concreting. Actual
excavation will begin to-morrow morn
ing or possibly a day latetr. Some of
the curbing has already been set.
Paving of the Dock street bridge
will also be started just as soon as the
Harrisburg Railways Company com
pletes laying its tracks at this point.
The last rail in the new stretch of
Derry street tricking will be put in
before 6 o'clock this evening and the
contractors will complete their end of
the job by midnight.
Company Hushes Work
Completion of this work marks the
end of one of the biggest improvement
jobs to be undertaken by the railways
company thiß summer. The job was
completed in record time and with lit
tle exception the regular Hummels
town, Paxtang and Allison Hill sched
ules were maintained throughout the
course of the work. Mr. Musser said
this morning:
"The stretch of track between Thir
teenth and Twenty-third streets in
Derry is one of the finest in the en
tire United States. The rails are of
the heaviest sort in use for street rail
ways purposes and the concrete bed
construction work is of the kind ap
proved by leading engineering experts.
The new line gives the Allison Hill
people the best rail equipment that
the company could provide."
Schedule time was maintained on
the Hill line during'the progress of
the work by means of temporary
crossovers at Thirteenth, Sixteenth
and Eighteenth streets:
Work in Thirteenth Street
Announcement was made this morn
ing that a gang of a hundred men is '
at work this week on repairing the 1
trackage in Thirteenth street between
Market and Derry. Patches of track
nf several hundred feet In length will
lie repaired.
Mr. Musser stated that the reason
the work in Derry sTfeet was com
pleted in record time was because the
company kept both day and night
forces on the job whenever possible.
The tracks from the paving line at
Eighteenth-and-a-half street to Twen
ty-third are laid in line with the pro
posed paving grade and these tracks
will not havo to be relaid when the
city paves Derry street.
The complete line of double track
ing will not be in use in Derry street
before Saturday because five days
must be given for "setting" • of the
concrete.

ONLY ONE HOUSE
OF ILL REPUTE IN
CITY, SAY POLICE
Telegraph's Crusade Against Vice
Productive of Unexpected
Results in Harrisburg
WHOLE TOWN CLEANED UP
One Other Place Being Closely
Watched; "Soliciting" Is
Reported
Only one house of questionable
character to-day exists In Harrisburg,
according to the quarterly police re
port of CoL Joseph B. Hutchison,
chief of police, to the Dauphin county
court lit June quarter sessions.
In a report six months ago Col.
Hutchison said that he knew of more
than twenty-five places of ill repute.
The names and addresses of the own
ers of these places were returned to
court and they were printed in the
Telegraph. Notice was served on the
police department that the Harrisburg
tenderloin must be closed to its hid
eous traffic. And the report to-day
shows the result. In all Harrisburg,
when once the police really got busy,
the chief of police knows of only one
house of questionable character. The
house in question is:
Corner of Strawberry and Cowden
streets, owned by Ben Pruss, con
ducted by Mary Crawley.
One other mention of an establish
ment that was watched by the police
is mentioned. This is No. 510 Straw
berry street and, according to the po
lice report, "colored women sit on the
porch and openly solicit."
As to the existence of gambling
houses, etc., selling of liquor illegally
and the other violations of the law to
which the officers are required to an
swer in their reports, the police con
stables state that they have had sus
picions in some instances, but suffi
cient evidence to convict was lacking.
In other instances where they are able
to back up their suspicions with evi
dence, the cases were returned to
court.
Examinations in Grade
Schools Begin Today
Examination in the grade schools
started to-day when grades eight and
nine were examined in grammar. All
students In grade nine must be exam
ined, while those below that grade if
earning certain averages will not have

END OF OLIGARCHY
IN THE DEMOCRACY
HEAVES IN SIGHT
Democratic County Committee of
, Northampton Refuses to En
dorse Ticket or Platform
ARISTOCRATS ARE LOSING
Philadelphia Ledger Says That
McCormick's Expenses Bar
Way to the Poor Man
Judging from the signs of the
times the "democracy of aristocrats,"
the oligarchy which is ruling the Dem
ocracy of Pennsylvania, paved the way
for its defeat in the victory which it
'won at the May primary. Democrats
are in open revolt against the plat
form promulgated without members
of the State committee having any
thing to say about its adoption, local
option has gotten loose in Philadel
phia and Northampton county and is
reaching into other counties where
the machine thought it had It buried
and the magnitude of the expense ac
count of Candidate Vance C. McCor
mlck is making thoughtful men sit up
and take notice. Many are only await
ing the filing of the committee ex
pense accounts so that it may be de
termined what was approximately
spent in forcing "the rule of the peo
i pie."
The conditions within the Demo
cracy are so serious that the State
chairman is bending efforts to placate
men who would be dangerous if they
took to the war path, and allowing
the preliminary campaign work, the
appointment of committees and other
things to go by the boards. It is even
announced that faithful ones who ex
pected to be named to fat federal
places right after the primary elec
tion may have to wait. And waiting
for a political appointment sometimes
means disappointment.
Bumi>ecl at Easton
The most significant thing about
the feeling within the Democracy is

for the congressional nomination, in
cidentally defeating Palmer's people
all along the line in the county. How

nounced by the rrorganlzers, ran the

HUERTA RESCINDS HIS
ORDER FOR BLOCKADE
OF PORT AT TAMPICO
Delegates and Mediators at Ni
agara Falls Believed to Have
Played Important Part
ANOTHER CRISIS PASSED
In Diplomatic Circles, Huerta's
Action Is Now Considered
Sincere
By Associated Press
Washington, D. C., June B.—Huerta
has decided, after all, not to blockade
Tampico and force the hand of the
United States with the possibility of
disrupting the mediation proceedings
at Niagara. Mr. Riano, the Spanish
Ambassador, notified Secretary Bryan
officially to that effect to-day.
Thus, the latest crisis in the Mexi
can situation, fraught with possibili
ties of renewed hostilities between
Huerta and the United States, passod
over.
What actuated Huerta in backing
down does not appear in the brief ad
vices which reached Washington. Un
official reports that the dictator had
decided at the last moment to rescind
this order of blockade had reached
unofficial sources which have been in
very close touch with the situation,
about the same time Mr. Riano was
notifying Secretary Bryan there was
an evidence of relief of the tension
of the last three days along the line
in official circles.
There were broad intimations here
that the influence which had caused
Huerta to rescind his order had gone
to Mexico City all the way from Niag
ara Falls, where, it was said, the me
diators hnd the Mexican delegates had
been urging him in the strongest pos
sible terms to withdraw his position
and let the mediation proceed.
Slilps Held In Readiness
It did not appear here that Huerta's
change of position had been contin
gent upon any change of plans for the
cargo of the steamer Antilla, steaming
for Tampico with arms for the Consti
tutionalists. It had been suggested
that possible pressure upon the 9WII
- of the might cause them to
divert her. One thing, however, was
plain. President Wilson was deter
mined that Tampico should be kept
open to the commerce of the world and
the American shipn under Rear Ad
miral Mayo were in evident readiness
to enforce it.
Whether the Antilla's war cargo

A SUFFRAGETTE BEING DRIVEN BACK
FROM ATTACK O
*• J
jl ■ jjjj|j
When Mrs. Pankhurst made her attack with some scores of suffragettes
on Ruckingham Palace the other day, a lot of Englishmen, including roy
alty within and some hundreds of London policemen, were very much fright
ened. Mrs. Pankhurst had announced that at a certain hour she would pre
sent a petition to the king. She didn't have the slightest idea that she
would present the petition, nor did she even have a petition on her whon
she was arrested.
She just wanted to excite the public, and in that she succeeded. Some
2,000 policemen were sent to the palace grounds and outside. Some 15,000
spectators gathered around to see tho fun. A few women tried to run
through the police lines, and they pretended they were fighting to get
into the palace. They made a great outcry and attracted a lot of atten
tion, because they had staged their display well.
The woman in the picture was boing led from the scene bv three police
men. She caught hold of a lamp post, pretending to try to break loose
from the grasp of three strong bobbies. Of course, she didn't break loose,
but was carried off to jail. If the women had got into the palace they
v otild not have presented a petition, because they had none to present.
The murder took place during a
crap game in Cowden. street near
State. There was a dispute over win
nings of forty cents; then a crash
with a table leg and Reed slunk away.
The police have notified several cities
to take the slayer, sending photo and
description. The dead man is a'na
tive of Frederick, Md., and has been in
jail for assault several times.

almost ready for harvest in tho United
States this year, the farmers of Mis
souri, Minnesota. Montana, Oklahoma
and other Middle and far Western
States are clamoring for 80,000 labor
ers to bring home this great harvest.
One of the first things the wheat
farmers did after learning of the tre
mendous quantity of wheat which will
be harvested during the summer, was
to turn to the Federal Department of
Labor for assistance in getting help.
Already the department has posted
notices, offering jobs to harvest hands
to all the first, second and third class

been selected, by Secretary Wilson to

at 2 o'clock this afternoon the mer
cury stood at 93 degrees.
This Is the hottest day of the year.
This warm wave is nkeiy to be with

long as a present storm disturbance
In the West continues there will be
no cessation from the heated spell.
But humidity is normal; so while Har

to know that it isn't so bad after all.
Harrisburg was among the three
cities in the United States at 8 o'clock

Will Ask Council to
Change Road to Save v
Two Fine Old Trees
Council will be asked by City Com
missioner M. Harvey Taylor to-mor
row to direct some minor changes of
line for the proposed Front street sub
way road south of Mulberry street in
order to save several splendid trees.
According to the present plans
Front street after leaving the subway
will curve to the southward up to the
present level in such a way as would
mean the cutting away of two beauti
ful trees. In the opinion of Commis
sioner Taylor enough fine old trees
have been sacrificed there. In order
to determine what changes could bo
made, Mr. Taylor, Assistant Superin
tendent Hoffert, Mayor Koyal land
President Ed. S. Herman, of the City
Planning Commission, went to South
Front street, and inspected the pro
posed grading work.
The new fire apparatus bid recom
mendations, the report on the slllc
mill conference, and action on tilling
the vacancy on the police force causetl
by the removal of Patrolman Clifford
Palmer will occupy the councllmen.
It is expected that Herman Kautz, a
