CREASY GUM SHOE
IRK miED
Said in Pittsburgh to Be Working to
Put McCormick to the
Front
special to The Telegraph
Pittsburgh, July 15. — William N.
McNalr, of Pittsburgh, the Demo
cratic candidate for secretary of in
ternal affairs, does not propose to
enter into a fusion deal with William
Flinn and the other Bull Moosers. He
thinks It Is time for the Democratic
leaders to make it clear to the peo
ple of the State that they have no in
tention of trafficking with Flinn.
It will be recalled that "Farmer"
William T. Creasy, the Democratic
nominee for lieutenant grovernor, ap
peared in Pittsburgh on the night of
June 29, the day before the Bull
Moosers held their State conference at
the Fort Pitt Hotel. Creasy mingled
with the Moosers at that time and it
was intimated that he was here to talk
fusion. Recent deWlopments show
the surmise must have been correct.
Creasy has been sounding some lead
ing Democrats to learn how they
would view fusion and has even sug
gested possible tickets. It ts under
stood that he is ready to stand aside
if the Flinn plan of sidetracking Wil
liam Draper Lewis, the Washington
nominee for governor, and indorsing
Vance C. McCormick, Democrat, goes
through. There is talk of making
Lewis th® candidate for lieutenant
governor. This scheme would elimi
nate both Creasy and Percy F. Smith,
the Washington nominee for tho
place.
The opinion is being expressed that
Creasy In gathering the sentiment of
the Democrats on fusion is acting for
McCormick and possibly A. Mitchell
Palmer, who do not want to appear
In the open until they learn how the
proposed deal with the Bull Moose
boss is viewed. Palmer has denied on
several occasions that he would get off
the ticket, but there is no record of
McCormick ever having said he would
not deal with the Moosers.

WEDNESDAY EVENING HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH JULY 15. 1914.
| Harrisburg School Sketches
BY J. HOWARD WERT
<k
No. e—Somp Contrasts Between 1874 and 1914. What Forty Years Has
Done In the Way of Our Public School Development. The High
Schools of 1874 and 1914.
As already stated, the seating ca
pacity of all the school buildings of
1874, including many rented rooms,
was 4,995. To-day it is 11,500, with
a continual demand for more build
ings. Forty years agro the city had
92 teachers in Its public schools, in
i elusive of the four special teachers
in music and drawing. To-day the
tumber Is 295, or more than triple
the teaching: force of 1874.
1 In 1874 the city had eighteen school
buildings that were its own property,
but nine of them were of the most
trifling character for school purposes
containing but one or two rooms.
There were others that were equipped
for a teaching force of but three,
while the largest number of teachers
that could be accommodated In any
school building of the city was eight.
To-day the Harrlsburg School Board
has In use twenty-seven school bulld
! lngs, exclusive of the houses used only
for open-air schools. But several of
these are of a size so enormous and
coritainlng so many rooms that from
16 to 25 teachers are required to in
struct the pupils who pour through
their portals dally. Indeed, it would
be an easy task from these twenty
seven school buildings to select five
that would house the entire school
population of Harrlsburg of 1874, and
house them better than they then
were accommodated.
I'lnaucinl and Property Growth
The public school directory of 1874
gives a carefully itemized statement
of the property of the district, which
sums up in value to $331,650 for real
estate and $19,147 for furniture, mak
ing a total of $350,797. To-day the
real estate of the district is valued at
$1,350,000, more than quadrupling the
valuation of forty years ago; and it Is
probable that this is a very conserva
tive estimate. The valuation placed on
the present furniture holdings of the
district is $125,000, or more than six
times the valuation of 1874.
In this valuation of school proper
ties of 1874 it Is interesting to note
that the Boas and Verbeke buildings,
now mere pigmies compared with
more recent erections, head the list at
545.000 each. Then comes the DeWltt
building at $35,000, the West State
street school at $30,000, the old Harris
Park frame and the Pennsylvania
avenue each at $25,000, while the Mt.
Pleasant, the Lochiel and the Ridge
avenue (Sixth street) buildings are
placed in the $20,000 class.
Thus the valuation trails on down
ward till we find that the school board
of that period had buildings in which
schools were conducted which, with
the ground belonging to them, were
valued at but $3,000 and $2,000, while
the little shack in Fourth street, next
to the Mt. Vernon flrehouse, which
was a school room for many years,
was rated at S6OO.
The Two High Schools of 1874
But perhaps the most suggestive
and interesting points of contrast be
tween 1874 and 1914, Is presented by
the statistics of the high schools then
and now.
In 1874 all the high school boys of
the city were housed in a single room,
occupying less than half the floor
space of the second floor of the old
Lancasterian building. This room was
on the eastern side and could be made
to accommodate about eighty pupils,
or, more properly, about eighty husky
boys, could be crowded Into it, very
much like sardines in a box, with
little regard to either comfort or sani
tary conditions.
Over this room presided Principal
L. O. Foose with two assistants. Miss
Martha M. Tomkinson and Miss Edith
P. Leedy, in two little recitation rooms.
Passing Impressions of Finance
By H. L. Bennet
For a patient considered but a
month or so ago to have safely come
out of a serious crisis as did the Mis
souri Pacific when arrangements were
made for the extension of a pressing
note debt for another year, the pres
ent sinking spell in the road's securi
ties has unsettled all the high hopes
then raised that it had been saved.
In place of confidence there now pre
vails grave doubts In many minds
whether it has not become necessary
for the so-called financial doctors of
Wall Street to perform another am
putation on the road's capital obliga
tions so as to bring these obligations
within those reasonable boundaries
where the property can earn a com
fortable living without the spectre of
how to meet Its bills, constantly aris
ing. ,
At no time In the Missouri Pacific's
history has its securities and those
of the properties with which it is affi
liated sold at such low prices. Mis
souri Pacific stock is under ten dollars
a share, its convertible bonds around
forty-six and one-half. Such low bot
toms augur no good. People who own
these securities are not selling them
unless actuated by fear of the future.
Certalhly these prices do not follow
speculation for the short account.
Denver & Rio Grande securities are
also scraping the bottom levels. The
Western Pacific first mortgage bonds
whose interest and principal Is guar
anteed by the Denver & Rio Grande
are under forty-throe though when
they were first sold to investors they
brought ninety-six.
It is In the Western Pacific where
most of the troubles of the Gould lines
rest. This Is Gould's folly. It cost so
much money to build the road that
in the four years it has operated, it
has not been able to even earn the In
terest on Its first mortgage bonds. This
has necessitated the Denver & Rio
Grande digging deep down into its
own pockets to make good tjje big
deficit. Without this heavy load on
its back the Denver & Rio Grande no
doubt would be to-day paying the
preferred dividend without difficulty
which It had to pass about two years
ago to help out the cripple which it
has been supportipg.
How dull and unpsychological busi
ness Is, Is borne out by the week's
copper producers' statistics showing
an increase in metal on hand of over
21,000,000 pounds. The steel Industry
remains almost as quiet. Yet we may
safely regard both these unsatisfac
tory showing* as shadows of the past,
while- other brighter signs from an
other direction portend that a turn In
the road has come leading to better
things. Europe on one hand gives
every indication of less dependence
upon our financial stores. British con
sols are steadily advancing in price.
It was the British consols which first
flaunted the signal of a world-wide
liquidation from which this country
could not escape, and we had to take
back bags of our securities. France
succeeded in arousing optimism all
over the world by the brilliant suc
cess it met in placing its last govern-
one on the second, one on the first
floor. But Miss Leedy was not a full
high school teacher ns she also heard
grammar school recitations.
In the sapio building, now nearly a
half century old, were crowded, as
stated in a previous article, a speci
men of every grade, from grammar to
subprimary, into which the schools of
that day were fantastically divided.
So dilapidated had the old Lanc&s
terlan then become that a mischief
loving youth, by planting his feet
firmly against the foot of his desk and
j gently* agitating his lower limbs in a
measured movement similar to the
step of marching troops, could shake
the whole building; and. the longer
the movement was kept up the more
violently would the floors heave and
rock as in a mlnature earthquake, un
til it seemed to those who were unfor
tunate enough to be In the first floor
rooms as if the whole building was
about to be precipitated upon them.
A year later when, as Mr. Foose's
first assistant. I became the presiding
genius of this room. It was no unusual
[occurrence to have a wild-eyed urchin
j suddenly appear at fhe door with the
■announcement, "Some one Is shaking
the floor and teacher says will you
please stop It?"
I remember one demure and pen
sive lad. who subsequently rose to
high position at the Dauphin county
bar, who was an expert at the game,
the while his eyes were ftstened so
Intently on his textbook in geometry
that it would seem impossible that
thoughts of reviltry had ever entered
his cranium. But there were others.
From time to time the wise and
reverend fathers of the School Board
would assemble at the building to In
vestigate the phenomena and order
braces and stays put In somewhere,
but It never did much good. That old
1 Lanasterian flooring, with one live
wire kid on the operating line, had
| spirit rapplngs beaten to a standstill.
There will be men in Harrlsburg on
| the shady side of fifty that will smile
' out real loud when they read this be
j lated tribute to their youthful achleve
: ments.
The Girls' High School of 1874
Sp much for the Boys' High School.
The girls of the city taking a high
school course were housed In a por
| tion of the small building in West
State street which was smaller then
than now, for it had not then received
the addition which was made to it a
few years later. Tn the same small
building were also schools of both the
Intermediate and grammar grades.
The girls of the high school occupied
three rooms, none of them as large as
the lone room appropriated to the
boys. The three teachers of these
rooms were Miss Maria E. Gill, the
principal, and her assistants. Misses
Eliza A. Bishop and Virginia F. Sam
ple. There was also a recitation room,
the teacher of which heard recitations
from hoth the grammar and high
schools.
We find, then, that in 1874 the en
tire high schol pupilage of Harrisburg
was housed in four meagerly equipped
rooms, with a faculty of six teachers,
counting the two recitation room
teachers, who gave but part of their
time to high school work as one.
You all know the two magnificent
high school buildings your city has
to-day with their many ample and
admirably equipped rooms; and yet
one of them Is so crowded that making
provision for its pupils has become
one of the burning school questions of
the near future. In those two high
schools forty-two teachers were em
ployed last year as against the six
recorded in the directory of forty
years ago.
ment loan. Were it not for the pres
sure placed on our market by the
Gould and the New, Haven Incidents
we might by this time have seen con
siderable recovery in our own securi
ties.
The most hopeful sign with us is the
prospect of a bumper harvest. Nature
has been In her most kindly mood.
She has rubbed her Alladln lamp and
lo! there has gushed forth a new
fountain of wealtb. A few years ago
James J. Hill was practically laughed
at when be predicted a harvest of over
$9,000,000,000 but he has not only-lived
to see his estimate realized but ex
ceeded by a few billion dollars, for
every sign indicates that when the
farmers count what wealth Mother
Earth has brought them this year it
will top Hill's figures by such an
amount.
The general bond market was inac
tive. There was not as much return
of July dividend and interest pay
ments for new purchases as was an
ticipated but in financial circles the in
activity is ascribed to a desire on the
part of investors to wait until the In
terstate Commerce Commission hks
rendered its freight decision and the
present squalls in the stock market

way systems passes as it will.
