Manning, the landscape I artist who planned the parks of the city, for a system of parks for Steel ton. At a recent meeting; of the bor- I ough council a committee from the ; Municipal League requested that some j steps be taken towards the develop | mnet of the Luther R.

Mr. Manning has already looked over the Kelker plot and also the plot of ground surrounding the reservoir at the end of Swatara street. In this latter tract there are about ten acres of high ground that could be devel oped into a beautiful park. The Kel ker plot also contains ten acres and lies close to the reservoir tract.

CLEAN IIP THE RIVER Ui BOATMEN: WANT ROCKS REMOVED Water Craft Owners Ask For Action; Wall Work Is Re sumed "Clean T'p the River" Is the slogan that is now heard from the boat clubs and owners of river craft, who believe that the approaching completion of the river dam demands the immediate consideration of some means for clear ing the channel of dangerous rocks and obstructions. ! While some little headway was ■ made in this direction last year, there is still considerable to be done before I the river shall have been cleared of ! dangerous rocks. Many of these most | dangerous obstructions are around the piers of the Harrisburg Bridge Com pany, which will probably be requested to remove the rocks before the dam shall have been completed. It is ex pected that the work on the dam will b«- finished within the next two months and whatever is to be done about the clearing of the river will have to be taken up at once. Some blasting will be necessary here and there, but it is thought that most '>t the obstructions can be removed without serious difficulty. In the near future it is expected that a general meeting of canoeists, owners of motorboats and other craft and prospective purchasers of boats will be held for the purpose of organ izing a big city boat club, which will set organized action on some plan to clear the river, erect municipal boat houses, etc. Following a conference late yester day afternoon an amicable agreement was reached over the dispute growing out of the change of line on the river wall in the vicinity of Muench street and to-day the Stucker Brothers Con struction Company, the contractors, resumed work at the point upon which work had been stopped a few days ago. Friedman May Not Escape Prosecution Special lo The Telegraph Washington, I). C„ July 8. Moses Friedman, who volunteered his resig nation as superintendent of the Car lisle Indian school after an investiga tion by the special congressional com mittee, is said here to be presupposing too much in his statement in Philadel phia. In the first place, the Depart ment of Justice has not satisfied itself tl\at the statute of limitation has run on all of Mr. Friedman's alleged acts of misconduct, and prosecution is still Imminent. Mr. Friedman sent his resignation to Commissioner Sells three days after the congressional committee had he gun its inquiry into charges preferred by the Indian Itights Association of Philadelphia. All of the charges were preferred by this association. In ac cepting the resignation Commissioner Sells said in a statement issued at the time that it did not absolve the accus ed superintendent from any action that might be taken by the Depart ment of Justice. Officials connected with the Indian Bureau say the statement of Mr. Friedman does not merit a reply. However, Commissioner Sells said lie might have something to say to-mor row. The commissioner smiled at the suggestion that Mr. Friedman would appeal to .he President. He is not at all disconcerted by the statement of the deposed superintendent. In thf next few days he will go to Carlisle on a tour of inspection and attempt to reorganize the school. HEAD OF STRIKERS TO OUTLINE PLAN FOB NEW ATTACK Pierce Will Tell B. F. R. E.

PRESIDENT TRIES TO DEFEND MONIES ID "BIG BUSINESS" I Unfair to Regard Democratic Party and Senate as Enemies, He Says •WANTS MR. JONES CONFIRMED i Also Earnestly Hopes That Mr. Warburg Will Reconsider His Decision By Associated Press Washington, D. C\, July B.—Declar ing it would be unfair to regard the Democratic party as the enemy of big or little business, President Wilson to day gave out a statement In support of Paul Warburg, of New Vork, and Thomas D. Jones, of Chicago, his nominees for the Federal Ileserve Board. President Wilson's statement fol lows: "It would be particularly unfair to the Democratic party and to the Sen ate itself to regard it as the enemy of busines, big or little. X am sure that it does not regard a man as an object of suspicion merely because he has been connected with great husiness en terprises. It knows that the business ol the country has been chiefly pro moted in recent years by enterprises or ganized on a great scale and that tho vast majority of the men connected with what we have come to call big business are honest, incorruptible and patriotic. The country may be cer tain that it is clear to members of the Senate as It is clear to all thoughtful men that those who have tried to make bis business what It ought to be are the men to be encouraged and honored whenever they respond with out reserve to the call of public service. Setting an Example "I predict, with the greatest con fidence that nothing done by the Democratic majority of the Senate of the United States will be of a sort to throw suspicion upon such men. Mr. Jones and .Mr, Warburg, in manifest ing their willingness to make personal sacrifices and put their great experi ence and ability at the service of the government, without thought of per sonal advantage, in the organization of a great reform which promises to lie so serviceable to the nation, are set ting an example of patriotism and of public spirit which the whole country admires. It is the obvious business of statesmanship at this turning point In our development to recognize ability and character wherever it has been displayed and unite every force for the upbuilding of legitimate business along the new lines which are now clearly Indicated for (he future." The President said to-day ho earnestly hoped Mr. Warburg would reconsider his decision not to accept the nomination and that he was urging him to do so. He expressed con fidence that Mr. Jones would be con firmed. Fireproof Fan Houses Wanted in Mine District By Associated Press Charleston, W.
