ALONG THE OLD PENNSYLVANIA CANAL AT BTEELTON
Photographs show the execrable conditions against which Steelton
property owners are protesting. The tipper etching shows a view of the
old canal south of Trewick street to Locust. Rank weeds, mud and slime
fill the banks of the old stream, from which a sickening odor continually
rises. The lower etching shows the havoc wrought in one 'of the nearby
cellars when the waters rise suddenly from a heavy rain.

PUN FIGHT TO GET

Property Owners Talk Over Cam
paign For Eradication
of Nuisance
More than a score of property
owners met last evening In the office
of the C. L. Brinzer & Son hardware
store, North Front street, to discuss
i methods of forcing some action to be
taken toward eliminating the old
canal nuisance. It was an Informal
meeting and was held more for the
purpose of sounding the feelings of
the nearby property owners than for
mapping out a plan of action.
The meeting was called by David
Deigel, proprietor of the Excelsior
Steam Laundry, who is one of the
heaviest losers from the canal. Short
speeches were made giving the history
of the canal and of what efforts hail
been made to.have the nuisance elimi
nated. It was then decided to call a
t meeting of all the interested property
f owners just as soon as a number of
i men who are at present out of town
• return to the borough. A 1 this meet
s ing a plan of action will be mapped
, out and funds subscribed for retain
i ing lawyers and taking the fight into
1 the courts to decide Just who Is re
sponsible for the canal. At the pres
' ent time it is a question whether the
[ I borough, the Pennsylvania Steel Com-
I pany, the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany or the old Pennsylvania Canal
Company is responsible for the up
, keeping of the stream.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
LIGHT HIGH
BY ELECTRIC ARC
Borough Officials Planning to In
stall System* With Serv
ice From City
Highspire's streets will be lighted
with modern electric arcs before win
ter if negotiations that are under
stood to be under way between the
borough officials and the Harrisburg
Light and Power Company can be
closed in time.
For some weeks the borough and
electric light company officials have
been figuring upon the adoption of
the new system for Highspiro to re
place the more or less antiquated
lights that now help to brighten the
town's highways, and it is expected
that definite action will be taken at
the next session of the town council.
The lighting system that is being
planned is similar to that installed
in Dauphin and which will be put in
Penbrook about September 20, and
thus form another link in the chain
of interurban lighting which is
planned for this section of the coun
try.
From forty to fifty high power ef
ficiency lamps swung from attractive
standards will likely be installed and
the borough streets have been plotted
by the town officials for the purpose
of locating the urcs.
Current for the service will be sup
plied by big cables from the plant
of the Harrisburg company by a
company by a mathod similar to that
which has been followed with Dau
phin and what is to be carried out in
Penbrook.

Ml SHOT WILL IT
TELL WHO DID IT
[Continued From First Paßp]
having seen Mr. Copelin enter the
Plaza after midnight this morning. He
seemed a bit worn-looking and said
that his arm pained him so that htf
couldn't write and suggested that
someone at the clerk's desk register
for him.
Auto Turns l T p at Gretna
Some more mystery was added to
the story this morning when a report
reached the Telegraph from the
Gretna Inn to the effect that an auto
mobile, spattered with mud and dust,
got to the Inn some time after 1:30
o'clock this morning. Three men
were in the party—and only two reg
istered. The clerks did not learn
from where they came.
Col. Hutchison at police headquar
ters. to-day said he means to press
the inquiry for the department but
that the department is absolutely
without a clue In view of Quigley's
refusal to talk.
Col. Hutchison tulked with Mrs.
Copelin by telephone this morning
and she informed that she knew noth
ing of the occurrence. "She told me,"
said the colonel, "that she was out
until after 11 o'clock and that one
of the maids was with her."
Mrs. Copelln's Maid Talks
A maid answered a reporter's ring
at the Copelin home this morning
while another poked her head around
the door. Mrs. Copelin couldn't be
seen as she was confined to her room
upon a physician's advice, the maid
said. The maid said she knew noth
ing of the night's occurrence.
"We were both out last night and
didn't get back 'till after 11 o'clock
but we were here when the reporter
came out to the house to see Mrs.
Copelin."
"Whom do you mean by 'we'?" she
was asked.
"Why, me'n the other maid!"
Swathed in bandages, on his cot in
a ward in the hospital, Quigley said
he would not talk about the affair.
"Of course you saw the story in
the morning paper and that it. con
nected the name of Mr. Copelin with
the shooting?" Quigley was asked.
"Yes —but that was very much ex
aggerated, I will say that. Why, I
wasn't near the Copelin house."
"Where were you?"
"Why, in Fourteenth street."
"Who did shoot you, Mr. Quigley ?"
"Really, I don't know. I don't
know who shot me. All I know is
that I was attacked—held up."
Mrs. Quisle) Has Her Story
Mrs. Quigley was equally reticent,
although she too had her story.
"Do you know where Mr. Quigley
was last night?' she was asked.
"Well, he left home with the inten
tion of attending a meeting of some
organization in connection with the
railroaders, so he told me."
"Did you talk to Mr. Quigley about
the story of the shooting that ap
peared in the morning papers in
which the Copelins were connected?"
"Yes, I went up to the hospital and
talked to him this morning. Now, I
don't want to say anything—not until
I see what develops, and then maybe
I'll have something to say at the
proper time."
"You have your suspicions as to
who did shoot your husband?"
"Well, 1 guess I have!"
Mrs. Quigley Smiles
When asked if she knew whether
Mr. Copelin was in town in view of
the stories to the effect that he was
at Gretna, she smiled.
"Of course he was in town." Mrs.
Quigley paused and smiled again,
"and, of course, It wasn't her."
"But," Mrs. Quigley broke off, "why
don't they arrest the guilty party?
Dont they know who it is? Well,
well, that seems very funny."

Kitchener Gives Rules
to British Soldiers
London, AUK. 19. Every British
soldier in the expeditionary force now
landed in France carries in his knap
sack a pamphlet signed'by Field Mar
shal Earl Kitchener advising his men
how to conduct themselves. The text
of the pamphlet is as follows:
"You are ordered abroad as a sol
dier of the king to help our French
comrades against the invasion of a
common enemy.
"You have to perform a task which
will need jour courage, your energy
and your patience.
"Remember that the honor of the.
British army depends on your indi
vidual conduct.
"It will be our duty not only to set
an example of discipline and perfect
steadiness under fire, but also to main
tain the most friendly relations with
those whom you are helping in this
strugßle.
"The operations in which you will
be engaged will for the most part take
place in a friendly country and you
can do your own country no better
service than in showing yourself in
France and Belgium in the true char
acter of a British soldier by being in
variably courteous, considerate and
kind.
"Never do anything likely to injure
or destroy property and always iook
upon rioting as a disgraceful act.
"You are sure to meet with a wel
come and to be trusted. Your conduct
must Justify that welcome and that
trust.
"Your duty cannot be done unless
your health Is sound, so keep con
stantly on your guard against any ex
cesses.
"In this new experience you mav
find temptation both in wine and
women. You must resist both tempta
tions, and while treating all women
with perfect courtesy you should avoid
any intimacy.
"Do your duty bravely. Fear God'
and honor the king."

Trip to Hook of Holland
Falmouth, Eng., Aug. 19, via Lon

United States cruiser Tennessee which
should have sailed- at dawn to-day
for the Hook of Holland on its mis
sion of relieving stranded Americans
iin Europe did not depart. Assistant
I Secretary of Oar Rreckenridge in ex
planation of the delay said:
"I had expected to receive infor
mation from all the European govern
ments promising safe escort for my
representatives in distributing treas
ire to the different capitals. I also
expected more definite information
through Ambassador Page from the
continent of Europe as to the exact
number of Americans stranded in the
various countries. As this has not ar
rived I must stay on until it does, so
that I can instruct my representatives
exactly what to do.
"It is impossible to get informa
tion by wireless at sea in the area,
as we have been asked not to use our
wireless. Therefore, at sea we should
be cut off from everybody without
having perfected our continental
plans.
"I shall remain here until I re
ceive all the information."
The cruiser North Carolina which
anchored in the channel all night left
at dawn for Cherbourg. The Ten
nessee will communicate with her by

Russian Millionaires
Now Say They Know
What Poverty Means
By ."lllocialed Press
Stockholm, Sweden, Apg. 10, via
London, 1.06 P. M.—Fully 15,000 Rus
sian refugees from Germany, most
of them exhausted, famished and sick
have gone through Stockholm since
the beginning of the war. From 1.500
to 2,000 have arrived daily* Hotels,
barracks and schools have been used
for their housing and are filled to ca
pacity every night.
These unfortunates are a hetrogen
ous gathering from all classes. Thero
are wealthy women in furs and dia
imonds and poor women in rags with
I half naked children n their arms;
| priests, workmen and wealthy profes
sional and business men, all of them
i driven out of Germany.
; Some of the refugees had been
i without food for three or four days
before reaching Sweden. The trains
were so packed that many of their
occupants were obliged to stand for
twenty-four hour at a stretch.
Among the refugees are a number
who says they were driven out of hos
pitals In Germany.
! "I now for the first time in my lii i
understand what poverty means," is
common remark made by Russian
millionaires whose pockets are filled
with Russian money but who were
unable to buy one cent's worth with It
until tlio Swedes at Malmoe came to
their rescue. Russian bankers, physi
cians and professors ail tell the same
etory of an exhausting and foodlesH
journey in r lnsequenee of the Ger
man's refusal to accept rubles.
M. Armatschewskij, the governor of
Kallsz, Russian Poland, and a num
ber of others, It is asserted, were
transported on a train with shaded
windows, to an unknown place where
I hundreds of persons were hundreds of
