Kreider re turned from Washington last evening they had completed a successful In terview with the post office building committee and had secured the ap proval of the reconstructed plans for the building. A few miner changes are to be made in-the plans for the lower floor, these alterations to the original plan affecting only the arrangement of a few windows and partitions on that floor. Wings extending upward three stories will be built on both north and south sides of the. building. Originally the appropriation was sufficient only for the construction of a wing of one story. But Its increase through Con gressman Kreider's efforts permit the construction of the wings on lines that will not Interfere with the architec tural merit of the building And the new plans will also furnish the much needed room. No New Entrances The entrances to the building will remain as at present, in Third and Locust streets. There will be no other entrances. Window lights in the cen ter of each of the two sides that do not carry entrances will throw the necessary light into the court room and offices below, that otherwise would be cut off by the building of the wings. The first floor of the wing in the north side will be occupied by the money order and registry division as well as the postal savings bank; the opposite end of the tljree divisions of the postal railway mail service, and lavatories for the use of the employes of the building. The postmaster and staff will occupy a suite of four rooms including those now occupied by the revenue collectors, who will be trans ferred to the three rear rooms on the same floor. This shift will put the weather bureau on the third floor. Access to this department will be through stairs leading off from the second floor. To Move Recruiting Office The court room will remain as at present, but there will «he additional rooms, one for the grand jury and one for court officers. The United States rtcruiting station now occupying offi ces In the Bergner building will have offices here. A civil service examina tion room, provided with desks like a school room will also be provided. The entire furnishings will be new throughout. New lock boxes and new furniture in the mall room will he provided. Postmaster Sites has been working on the details of the plans for some time and believes that bis arrange ment of the additional space will give Harrisburg a well appointed post office. INDICTMENT AGIST MBS. Mill [Continued from First Page] ment were found it would be returned to-morrow. With the resumption of the hearing District Attorney Smith announced that he had issued a subpena for Mrs. Ellen Corby, a niece of Mrs. Carman. It is understood that she is one of the two women who have been sought since the murder as Having been in the doctor's waiting room and who fled when they heard the shot fired. The first witness examined to-day was Henry De Beau, who testified to seeing Mrs. Bailey going to the Car man home. Another witness was Miss Helen Combe, who was in the waiting room when the murder was committed. May Not Call Woman It was thought likely that Mrs. Car man would not be called before the jury. Her counsel had agreed to waive immunity for her, but in the opinion of the district attorney it is inexpedient to have her testify. Smith planned to call the three phy sicians—Dr. Roy D. Grimmer, Dr. Howard Phipps and Dr. W. M. Run cie—who performed the autopsy on Mrs. Bailey's body. Of the three physicians. Dr. Runcie, who has been a close friend of the Carman family and lives across the street from them in Freeport, was the first person called by Dr. Carman after the murder. He is expected to tell the gnand jury about the conver sation he held with Mrs. Carman, who, it is said, told him ahout the telephonic device by means of which she was enabled to hear conversations between Dr. Carman and his woman patients. Other Witnesses Called Other witnesses under subpena for to-day included Gaston Boisson ault and F. C. Burnell, of the com pany that installed the telephonic wires and instruments for Mrs. Car man; Coroner Norton and Mrs. Ida Powell, sister of Mrs. Carman. The coroner is expected to produce the bullet, the medicine that Dr. Carman gave Mrs. Bailey and the handbag and purse she carried when she was killed. The district attorney " announced that he had learned the names of the two women patients who were in Dr. Carman's office at the time of the murder and who fled. They live near Freeport it is said, and probably will be called before the grand jury to morrow or Friday. The testimony of Eliwood T. Bardes, whose statement at the coroner's in quest that he saw a woman walk from the office window to the back of the Carman house just after the murder resulted in Mrs. Carman being charged with the murder, re mains to be repeated before the grand Jury. Girl's Story Damaging More details of the story of the- Carman's negro maid. Cella Coleman, was told to the grand jury yesterday in the Bailey murder case became known to-day. Besides saying that Mrs. Carman had hurried through the kitchen from the back yard Imme diately after the shot which killed Mrs. Bailey was fired, the girl, it is understood, said Mrs. Carman had on a kimono at the time. Mrs. Carman herself has said she wore a kimono, but has insisted that she was in her bedroom. Another Fake Letter Dr. Carman, who is here said to day that he was sure the hand thrust through the window when the shot was fired, was a man's. He recalled, he said, that on the wrist he saw a man's cuff. The last witness before the Jury was Frank J. Farrell, a tramp who went to the back door of the Carman house on the night of June 30 to ask for food. It is understood that Far rell's story corroborated In general UNIFORM BLANK WILL BE DRAFTED State Officials and Heads of Big Industries Have Conference About Forms 0 Representatives % of various depart ments of the state i fef government and of manufacturers, JWjPra, railroads and trol- Hfc jCwWSrttl ' ,ey ~nes and other Iv*JuRHHMi forms of industry 11 JnßwWWfefy to-day held a pre- MajHlillUlilll. limlnary confer ence at the De partment of and Industry to arrange for a simpler form of blanks for reporting of accidents.

Again the old canal is one of the principal topics of discussion in the borough municipal circles. For years it has been a problem with which the borough authorities, nearby prop erty owners and the owners of the canal have been struggling. Various plans have been advanced for abating the-nuisance and many promises have been made, but the old canal still re mains, a bone of contention over which law suits are continually threat ened. The upper end of the canal, from a short distance above Locust street to Lincoln street, is covered with a heavy mass of water lilies and high grass, making a fine breeding place for mosquitoes and malaria germs. Along the banks of the stream Is Ut tered boxes, barrels and rubbish of many kinds. Less than a year ago the matter was brought to the attention of State Health Commissioner Samuel G. Dixon. A sharp letter was sent by him to the borough council asking what steps were being taken to alTate the nuisance which it is asserted is a menace to health. The letter was read in council and filed. The high way committee was instructed to see what could be done to remedy the nuisance. This committee has not yet re ported to council but It is understood that the committee has engineers working on several plans. The Penn sylvania Steel company has had the canal dredged in some places, the weeds ctit at various times and crude oil placed on the waters to kill the mosquitoes and malaria germs. Own ers of property along the banks, how ever, are still vigorously protesting that some action should be taken to do away with the canal entirely. Steps have recently been taken to band the property owners along the eastern hank together to take the thing Into the courts. This may be done soon, say some of the men in terested, unless the nuisance is abated. One of the obstacles In the way of abandoning the canal at this time Is the trouble that would result from the surface sewers. This surface water now empties into the canal and drains into the river. As it is impossible to extend the sewers under the steel company property and Pennsylvania railroad tracks, engineers feel that an intercepting sewer must eventually be built. This would be a heavy financial burden for the taxpayers to bear. Another scheme that finds favor is the placing of a dam at the lower end of the canal and a flood control similar to the one now in use at the head of Paxton creek, Hurrisburg, at the old canal locks near the type writer works. Then the water will flow towards Harrisburg, out the flood control and into the river. Let Zack's dress you up this week. —Advertisement.
