"KITCHEN SHOWER"
MAKES Hi HUFFY
License Tax Collector Thought
Joke Fine Until He Found
It on Him
William D. Block, the city's license
tax collector, was the happy (?) re
cipient to-day of a pretty kitchen
ehower.
The "shower" occurred in City
Clerk Charles A. Miller's office and
Mr. Block's desk, the counter and
most of -the floor 'roundabout got the
benefit of the shower.
Three heavily-laden boys from a
nearby department store brought the
things. They ranged incidentally
from a small bathtub to a teakettle.
City Clerk Miller, who showed the
guests—there were an unusual num
ber of callers for some reason or other
at the City Clerk's office to-day—dis
covered something with a handle to it.
"What's this —a flyswatter?" he in
quired.
"No," explained Mr. Block wearily,
"it's a gridiron."
There were many things that one
can use—enough to fit up the kitchen
or kitchenette of the most exacting
and discriminating newlyweds that
ever tried to keep the affair as quiet
as possible. Three Balloons, a doll
and a rolling-pin were among the
things that someone Jokingly poked
Into t"he bundle.
The committee that arranged it all
included Senator E. E. Beidleman,
Harry F. Oves, Mercer B. Tate and
iCity Clerk Miller, on behalf of Will's
friends, as they put it.
At first Mr. Block thought'
the unloading of the tinware
was a splendid joke on City CleVk
Miller—and he laughed joyously.
When he learned that it was meant for
himself he promptly ordered the boys
to "take 'em all back." And when
the boys refused—and friends, at
taches, clerks, etc., from other offices
began dropping in to see and admire—
Mr. Block promptly left the office in
a huff. 1
Rumor, for some time, has had it in
and about the city offices that Dan
Cupid has an arrow sunk pretty deep
In the tax collector's hide.
LAYING OUT TRACT UP
10 CITY PLANNERS
[Continued from First Page]
meet to pass upon the plans, decide
whether or not the lay-out, street
widths, etc., meet requirements and
investigate all the data obtainable on
the subject with relation to its posi
tion in the city planning commission
zone.
The Farmlyn proposition was not
all the new commission had to keep
It busy to-day at that.
Just a short time after the Farmlyn
plan was called to the commission's
attention, the body was called upon to
look over a preliminary plan for plot
ting lirteen acres that is to be de
veloped by the Rev. W. S. Harris.
To Develop Another Tract
This is mot yet formerly named. It
covers the three blocks bounded by
Fifteenth / and Eighteenth, Paxton
road and the Philadelphia and Read
ing Railroad near the Lynch and Jen
nings property line.
Before January 1, 1915, the Rev.
Mr. Harris expects to have at least
100 modern two-story brick dwellings
■with rear and side yards on his plot
and ready for occupancy. Plans for
fifty new homes at modern rentals
have been prepared thus far and it is
expected that the erection of at least
sixteen dwellings in pairs will be
started at once.
The plot which was purchased by
the Rev. Mr. Harris will be controlled
by the minister alone. . It is his idea,
he said to-day, to lay out the little
Bection for the benefit of folks in
moderate circumstances who may
want comfortable little homes.
Hennessey For Governor,
Boomed by Progressives
Special to The Telegraph
New York, July 17.—John A. Hen
nessey, who by his fiery speeches
against Tammany Hall did much to
elect the fusion ticket in the last
mayoralty campaign in Manhattan, is
being considered seriously by Progres
sives as the man to head the fight in
New York State this Fail.
It is said on the best authority that
Hennessey would accept the nomina
tion for Governor. Much strength was
given to the report when it became
known to-day that Mr. Hennessey
slipped up to Sagamore Hill on Tues
day night last and held a three hours'
conference with Roosevelt. The Colo
nel promised to take the matter up
with other leaders.
Hennessey, it is pointed out, is
loaded to the brim with material about
the "rottenness of boss rule in the
State." Whether he is a big enough
figure in politics to run for Governor
is a matter which is being discussed
with care.
In a formal statement made pub
lic, District Attorney Charles S. Whit
man made sweeping denial of the al
legations that he was the author of
a letter draft initialed "C. S. W.,"
which Colonel Roosevelt gave to the
newspapers on Wednesday night, ac
companied by a broadside against Mr.
Whitman, who is the most formidable
rival of the Progressives for the Gov
ernorship.
Smith and Carpentier
Both Declare They Are
Ready to Meet Again
By Associated Press
. London, July 17. "lf 'Gunboat'
Smith wants a return match right
away he is not going to encounter the
slightest difficulty," said Georges
pentier's manager to-day. "It is Car
pentler's wish, as it is my wish, that
the white champion of the world
should retain the championship not by
a mere fluke or disqualification, but
by right of superiority in boxing."
Both sides have put themselves on
record as eagerly desiring an early re
turn match and the only bar to such
a meeting appears to be the arrange
ment of a suitable purse.
Deschamps, Carpentier's manager,
commenting on what he termed the
disappointing end of yesterday's fight,
said both he and Carpeptier wore dis
satisfied with the result. He added:
"Carpentier personally wanted the
fight to proceed, but I thought the
blow he received from Smith while he
was down would have proved detri
mental had the fight gone on. It
knocked all the brilliancy out of the
French boy. Carpentier Is quite ready
and indeed anxious to meet 'Gunboat'
'Smith again."

directors since 1909, but, as to whether
their failure to cause the road to in
stitute a restitution suit has made
them liable on account of negligence
and violation of fiduciary duty, the
plaintiffs state that they are not ad
vised and make no specific averment.
The litigation is in the form of an
equaity entered by the attorneys as
trustees under the will of Olea Bill
Vaughn. They own fifty shares of
New Haven stock and bring the action
"in behalf of themselves and all other
stockholders of said corporation who
may become parties.
The bill of complaint declares that
the defendants on account of breach
of directors duty, chiefly through
causing the New Haven to acquire il
legally its Boston and Maine, trolley
and steamship properties are boynd to
pay to the New Haven "162,000,000
withdrawn therefrom wrongfully and
for ultra vires and illegal purposes."
It is alleged that the losses resulting
from these acquisitions approximate
$102,000,000 and that under the fed-i
eral anti-trust act the New Haven Is
entitled to recover from the defend
ants three fold that sum —or $306,-

Suit Under Sherman
Law May Be Started
Within Next Few Days
By Associated Press
Washington, IX C., July 17. After
a two-hours' conference to-day between
Attorney General Mcßeynolds and T\
W. Gregory, special assistant in charge
of the New Haven case, it seemed prac
tically certain that negotiation has
failed and that the Department of Jus
tice would begin its Sherman law suit
to dissolve the New Haven system with
in the next few days.
The Attorney General and Mr. Greg
ory had before them official notice
from the New Haven board of directors
that It cannot accept the terms imposed
by Massachusetts on the sale of its Bos
ton and Maine Railroad stock. Depart
ment officials are said to now consider
a Sherman lawsuit their only course.
Two things might prevent such a
suit. President Wilson will be con
sulted by the Attorney General before
the suit Is filed, and if the President
finds any way in which
may be resumed and the Boston and
Maine matter disposed of to the satis
faction of the department it may pre
vent suit. The only other avenue for
a peaceful settlement it was pointed out
to-day, lies with the New Haven direc
tors. The department has not shut the
door to further negotiations, but it can
be said with authority that it does not
' plan to make any move toward a re
sumption of them. Mr. Mcßeynolds fs
said to feel that the New Haven must
make the next move.

VEGETABLES HIGHER
IN PRICE THIS YEAR
Retail Cost of Meat Has Ad
vanced From One to Five
Cents a Pound
That housewives in this city will
be compelled to pay from one to five
cents a pound more Tor meat than
they paid a week ago was the an
nouncement made by dozens of butch
ers this morning. The increase in
the price to the consumer is due to the
increase in the wholesale price an
nounced several days ago throughout
the United States.
Along with the announcement of
the meat increases comes the unpleas
ant news that vegetables, too, are go
ing up in price. Onions, for instance,
which last year brought one dollar a
bushel and now selling for three dol
lars a bushel.
The second crop of tomatoes is on
the market and selling for just twice
the price of last season. Tomatoes are
now selling from one dollar to a dol
lar fifty a bushel. Last year they sold
for fifty, sixty and seventy-flve cents
a bushel at this time of the year.
Watermelons and some of the other
fruits are cheaper this year than last
according to dealers.

MOTHER OF LOCAL
RECTOR IS KILLED
Hit by Car Near Mt. Holly Inn;
Funeral in New York
Tomorrow
Mrs. W. G. Appleton, of Dubbs
Ferry, N. Y„ the mother of the Rev.
Dr. Floyd Appleton, rector ol St.
Paul's Episcopal Church, this city, was
instantly killed yesterday afternoon at
3.30 o'clock by a car on the Cumber
land Electric Railway lines. Mrs. Ap
pleton was walking on the tracks be
tween Mt.. Holly Park and Mk Holly
Inn, where she had been staying, when
a car going toward Carlisle rounded a
curve and struck her.
George Meals, motorman of the car,
said he blew the whistle before round
ing the curve. Mrs. Appleton carried
a parasol, which it is believed dead
ened the sound. The car was loaded
with picnickers and several women
in the car fainted when the body was
taken from under the wheels.
Dr. W. G. Appleton, his .wife and
son, the Rev. Floyd Appleton, arrived
at the Mt. Holly Inn Monday after a
visit with the Rev. Mr. Appleton in
this city. They had been at the park,
a short distance from the Inn, and
were returning to the hotel. Mrs.
Appleton was walking on the track,
as a heavy rain a short time previously
is said to have made the road and
footpath almost Impassable. Her hus
band andfson were on the path about
twenty-five feet away and saw the ac
cident.
Dr. Gamble, of Mt. Holly, was called
at once, but death had been Instant.
When the doctor arrived she was lying
on the track with her head badly cut
and one leg broken. There were nu
merous cuts and bruises on the body.
, Blame Not Fixed
Coroner Deardorff was summoned
and held an inquest. A Jury hastily
impanelled after hearing the evidence
gave a verdict that death was acci
dental. The blame was not fixed.
At the Inn Dr. and Mrs. Appleton
were pronounced favorites. In a spirit
of appreciative jest the Inn colony
decorated their chairs as though they
were bride and groom. The tragic
death has thrown a pall of gloom over
the guests.
The body of Mrs. Appleton will b,e
taken to New York to-morrow morn
ing, where funeral services will be held
from the Chapel of the Intercession,
One Hundred and Fifty-fifth street.
Burial will be made in the cemetery

VALUE OF STATE'S
SUPERVISION SHOI
Scranton Rain Storms Washed Out
Dams and Walls Not Proper
ly Constructed
The so-called cloudburst of Friday,
July 10, on the watershed of Roaring
Brook, near Scranton, shows strong
ly the wisdom of the legislation en
acted in 1913, directing the Water
Supply Commission of Pennsylvania
to pass upon all proposed structures
In or along the water courses of the
State. Since the passage of this law
no bridges, dams, flll3, walls, waste
dumps, or other obstructions have
been legally built or placed in or
alopg our streams, until applications,
accompanied by plans, have been re
ceived and approved by the commis
sion and until the commission is sat
isfied that sufficient channel area is
provided to permit of the unobstruct
ed passage of flood waters.
Tnls so-called cloudburst was a
purely local one and the rain fell with
great intensity over the drainage area
of Roaring Brook, causing the stream
to rise in extraordinary flood, wash
ing out numerous bridges, several
dams, undermining walls and carrying
away embankments. This shows that
these structures were not designed so
as to permit of the unobstructed .pas
sage of flood waters .having been con
structed hefore the passage of the act
of 1913, and therefore, not coming
under the Jurisdiction of the commis
sion. Steps are being taken for the
rebuilding of several of the washed
oilt brldsea which will be built to con-

form with the requirements of the
commission.
Engineers of the commission were
on the ground immediately after
knowledge of this flood was received,
collecting data concerning rainfall,
flood volume, damage, etc., to use in
determining the necessary size of the
new structures which are to be built
to replace those destroyed.
"MOTHER" LODGE OF PYTHIAN
ISM
Franklin Lodge, No. 2 is referred to
as the "Mother" lodge,-and properly
so, for on January 1, 1866, it was the
whole order, thus being "the" subordi
nate lodge and, lir effect, the grand
lodge, the supreme lodge of the or
der, though four other lodges had
been organized and Instituted, three
In the District of Columbia and one
In Alexandria, Virginia. Upon Frank
lin lodge, No. 2, rested the responsi
bility of preserving the order to pos
terity. Realizing this responsibility
It, early in 1866, appointed a commit
tee to endeavor to organize another
lodge. The committee met with suc
cess and soon reported a "charter
list," whereupon the past chancellor
of Franklin lodge No. 2 granted a
"dispensation," as it was then called
for the Institution of the new lodge.
It was under the dispensation, the
only one of Its kind ever Issued in the
Pythian order, that Mt. Vernon lodge
No. 5 was Instituted, April 16, 1866.
Both lodges have continuously exist
ed since Institution, the one since April
12, 1864, and the other since April 16,
1866; ar.d Joining hand in hand soon
re-organized the grand lodge of the
District of Columbia, whlph, of course,
ceased to exist when all the lodges
except Franklin No. 2 became defunct
with the founder of the order, Justus
H. Rothbone, as grand chancellor.
Thus Franklin No. 2 became the
"Mother" lodge and Mt. Vernon No. 5
the "Savior" lodge of the order.—
