HARRISBURG DEPOT
Buys Throat Lozenges, Shakes

Picture
• IN PITTSBURGH TONIGHT
Says He Feels Fine, but Is Not 1
Sure About His
Throat
..Colonel Theodore Roosevelt spent |
twelve minutes in Harrisburg to-day
on his way to Pittsburgh and in that
time he finished reading a chapter of
a book, received throat lozenges j
which he had ordered by wire, went
through a car shaking hands and
then came out to pose for a photo
t graph for the Telegraph after which
he shook hands with all comers.
The Colonel was on his way to Pitts
burgh to attend the conference of the
Progressives, and on the train were
Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., Secretary J.
W. McGrath, R. R. Quay, Thomas
Watkins and other leading lights. The
Colonel had a drawing room all to
himself and when the train pulled in !
Frank Harris, of Gorgas' drugstore,}
hopped on board with lozenges. The I
Colonel read a few minutes after the
Cain had stopped and then looking
up saw th<* crowd outside. He shut j
Ihe book with a bang and came out |
on the platform. In an instant he was i
surrounded and had to shake hands.)
Poses For Picture
Then he stood for his picture be
tween Car Inspectors Harry A. Guise, 1
1720 North Sixth street, and Jacob D.!
Hook, 1343 Vernon street.
"How are you feeling?" was asked!
• of him.
"Fine, but I don't know about my
voice," replied the Colonel.
It was stated on the car that the i
speech in Pittsburgh to-night would
furnish a test of the Colonel's throat i
and have a great effect on his cam- j :
palgn plans.
The Colonel looked rather thin but |
• Tetter than many expected after the
reports about his condition.
At Pittsburgh
The proceedings of the day at Pitts-'
burgh will mark the formal opening i
of the Fall campaign by the Washing-! I

HOPE TO SETTLE
FRONT ST. "FILL"
PROBLEM IN WEEK
Commissioner Taylor Arranging to
Acquire Earth From Mulberry
Street Subways
MONEY FOR INTERSECTIONS?
How to Get Funds For Paving,
Dam and Creek to Be Dis
cussed Thursday
Before the end of the week City
Commissioner M. Harvey Taylor, Su
perintendent of Parks and Public
Property, expects to learn definitely
whether or not the earth excavated
from the Mulberry street subways sail
be utilized by the city for "fill" along
the river front north of Maclay.
Commissioner Taylor said to-day
that he is now busy on a plan for ac
quiring the earth at as reasonable a
figure as possible and iff satisfactory
terms can be agreed upon much of
the ground will be hauled to the west
end of the city. The question of long
haul and the attending cost is the
chief obstacle to an early and satis
factory settlement of the problem.
To-day Stucker Brothers' Construc
tion company began dumping more of
the fill from the Front street subway
down along the rjver front below
Paxton with a view to completing the
uniformity of the embankment line to
the edge of the walk along the wall.
This is being paid for jointly by the
city and contractor. As soon as the
slopes are finished the park depart
ment will prepare them for planting
and early this Fall the placing of
shrubbery and other methods of treat
ment will be started.
To Confer Thursday
Thursday evening the Board of Pub
lic Works, City Engineer Cowden, City
Solicitor Seitz and the City Commis
sioners will meet to confer on the
question of raising sufficient funds to
pay for certain extra expenses incur
red by the dam contractors, in meet
ing unexpected obstacles in the river
bed.
The discovery of "pot holes," deep
spots where it is expensive to reach
rockbottom for foundations, Is the dif
ficulty. In addition to money for this
added expense, it is hoped to raise
some money to cover the cost of an
cxera sewer construction in the lower
end of the city incident to the im-j

IN A PSYCHOLOGICAL
BILIDII MURDERED:
IS. ANGLE KNOWS BY
WHOM, POLICE INKS
Looking For Man They Believe He
Met in Woman's Room Night
of His Death
By Associated Press
I Stamford, Conn., June 30.—Definite
i announcement was made to-day that
'the police are working on the theory
j that Waldo B. Ballon, the aged po
litical leader whose tragic death early
last week is under investigation, was
murdered.
There was also au intimation that
i the bail bond of Mrs. Helen M. Angle,
| at whose apartments Ballou was a vis
i itor on the night of his death, might
lie recalled. She is now at liberty
; under $5,000 bonds awaiting the out
j come of the coroner's inquiry.
It was learned to-day that while the
police <lo not believe Mrs. Angle had
any direct connection with the killing,
they do believe she knows who was
responsible, and may be regarded as a
wry material witness. The theory on
which the police, it is understood, are
working is that a second man was in
I the Angle apartments after Ballou left
last Tuesday night, that the latter re
turned unexpectedly and found him
there and that a quarrel ensued, dur
ing which Ballon received the blow
which caused his death.

ot Impressing the youthful mind with
tlie significance of the (lag, and to
further instill a spirit of patriotism It
was decided to urged all residents to
unfurl Old Glory for the day.
A mammoth pole Is being secured

"WHSHG BOUT
CLUB" SUGGESTION
FAVORED By MOB
Telegraph Urges Organization Sim
ilar to Park Golf Club
at Reservoir
Canoeists motor boatmen, owners of
skiffs nnd rowboats —all of Harris
burg's rapidly growing army of water
craft enthusiasts-—welcomed eagerly
the suggestion to construct a municipal
boathouse along* the river front be
tween Market and Mulberry streets.
Furthermore, that suggested another
idea, which is submitted by the Tele
graph for the consideration of City
Commissioner M. Harvey Taylor, su
perintendent of parks and public prop
erty.
Here it is:
Why not organize the several hun
dred boatmen of Harrisburg into a
club similar to that which obtains in
the Harrisburg Park Golf Club and
which has been proposed for the ten
nis players on the city courts?
In discussing the boathouse propo
sition Commissioner Taylor said he
hopes to have an ordinance offered in
• ity Council providing an appropri
ation sufficiently large enough at least
to make possible part of the building
The structure could be finished by
funds that could be appropriated from
'year to year.
Nominal rental fees could be
charged and the surplus after cost of
maintenance is deducted could be used
to help pay the principal contracted
in the erection of the building In
time, it is figured, Harrisburg would
be reimbursed for its expenditure
When this is finished only so much
rental would necessarily have to be
charged as to pay for the maintenance
of the boathouse and the salary of the
keeper or keepers.
The boat club suggestion is favored,
if is understood, by City Commissioner
Taylor and he said he will give every
possible assistance to the boatmen in
forming such an organization.

Bodies of Archduke and Duchess
Blessed by Chaplain of

By Associated Press
Metkovitch, Herzegovina, June 30.
The bodies of Archduke Francis
Ferdinand and his consort, the Duch
ess of Hohenberg, arrived here on a
special train at B o'clock this morn
ing from Sarajevo, Bosnia. They were
accompanied by the members of the
household.
The town was draped in black while
all the lamp-posts were covered with
crepe. Flags on all buildings float at
half mast. Guards of honor l'rom the
army and navy were drawn up along
the platform and behind them were
gathered the local authorities, the
school children of the town and a
dense crowd of citizens.
The coffins were removed from the
cars by bluejackets and after a pray
er by a priest, were conveyed amid
the roll of muffled drums and the
tolling of church bells to the royaJ
yacht Dalmat lying In the river. Thoy
were covered with military (lags anil
wreaths while on the yacht itself were
hundreds of floral offerings from mili
tary and naval officers and civilians.
Salute Fired
At the yacht left, the guards of
honor fired a general salute. The ves
sel was preceded down the river by a
torpedo boat and followed by the gov
ernor's yacht, on board of which were
the members of the households of the
archduke and duchess. The governor
also accompanied the bodies while
they remained In the waters of his
territory.
Every village and hamlet along the
river Arenta, was draped In mourning
and their populations headed by this
municipal officials and clergy assem
bled along the banks, the men and
women bearing lightened candles and
kneeling while the yacht passed. At
the samo time the church bells tolled
and the priests uttered blessings.
Collins Transferred
When the Dalmat reached the
mouth of the rjver it proceeded di
rectly to the battleship Viribus Unitia
which was lying at anchor waiting
to convey the bodies to Triest. The
yacht fired a salute of nineteen guns
as she. came along side the battleship
and the coffins were then transferred
to the after deck of the Viribus TTnitis
which had been transferred into a
mortuary chapel decorated with flags.
Hero the bodies were again blessed
with much ceremony by the ship's
chaplain in the presence, of the mem
bers of the household and the naval
officers while the entire crew was
drawn up in a circle around them.
The Viribus TJnitis weighed anchor
at 9 o'clock and sailed northward with
the arcliducal standard flying at half
mast..
