run PARKWAY IN
BED OF OLD CANAL
Will Do Away With Nauseous
Nuisance; To Ask For
Appropriation
Following a vigorous protest from
property owners along the old Penn
sylvania canal plans have been de
veloped by the borough authorities for
Anally doing away with the canal
iiuisance and making a submerged
parkway the entire length of the
Stream from Locust street to the bor
bugh line.
Borough engineers yesterday began
(to run lines preparatory to laying the
plans before council at its next meet
ing. at which time Chairman E. C.
Henderson, of the highway commit
tee. will ask for an appropriation to
* (carry out the work.
If Henderson's plans are accepted
|by council there will be a high dam
erected in the canal a short distance
above Locust street and the old canal
Hocks near the borough line will be
torn out so that the water will run
toward Harrisburg and out into the
river through an outlet where the old
Jocks now are.
To keep the stream from rising and
flooding cellars along its course the
east side of the canal will be filled to
•within about ten feet of the west bank
lef the stream. This wiil make a chan
nel about ten feet wide and about a
mile long. The filled land will be
praded and sodded to make the park
'• "way.
Ground for filling the old canal bed
(Will be taken from the cross streets
to be paved from Walnut street north
it Henderson's plan is adopted. The
eight sewers that now empty into the
canal will be carried over to the new
channel and turned so that they throw
water toward Harrisburg. Huge catch
basins, holding possibly forty cubic
yards of sediment, will be placed near
the end of the sewers to catch the
dirt and debris washed down from
the hills so that the now channel will
not fill up as the canal has done.

Whereabouts of British
Troops Still a Mystery
London, Aug. 22, 5 A. M.—The Eng

the whereabouts of the British expedi

critical operations in the vast cam

iety are expressed as to when the
British troops will come Into the fight

Various descriptions, dated from
unnamed camps in France, appear in

that the authorities will not allow the
soldiers to write home to fritnds.
Therefore some light may be expec

which English relatives and friends

REINSTATES THREE
RAILROAD TRAINMEN
i
President Lee Orders Harrisburg
Trio to Be Readmitted to
Local Lodge
Milton T. Robinson, H. B Huber and
Samuel H Derrick hav> been ordered
• reinstated to Harrisburg: Lodge, No. 353,
| Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, by
W. <.». Lee, of Cleveland. Ohio, grand
J jlVestdent of the lodge,
i The order followed a hearing in
| which charges that the trio were "car
! rylng water on both shoulders." by act
l ing as informants of inside brotherhood
! matters to \V. B. Mcl'aleb, superinten
dent of the Philadelphia Division, Penn
sylvania Railroad Company, at this
place, were probed. These men admit
ted they had a consultation with Su
perintendent MoCaleb following a meet
ing of their order and the other rail
way orders called together bv W H.
Pierce, president of the Federated
Brotherhood of Railway Employes, who
asked that his newly organized order
be given aid bv the older orders.
At least one of the accused men, it
was alleged, opposed this proposition,
and Superintendent McCaleb learned of
it. Charges of treachery were made
and formally preferred at the local
lodge by P. H McGinnls. President
Lee held that the trio were not violat
ing their brotherhood loyalty by telling
any one of the meeting, because it was
not conducted under the rules and di
rections of the Trainmen's Union.
It will be remembered that President
Lee. shortly after the joint meeting of
the brotherhoods, withheld aid of the
older organization to Pierce's brother-
I hood.
Coal Train Jumps Switch,
Is Wrecked at Millersburg
Sfecial to The Telegraph
Millersburg. Pa.. Aug. 22. The Ly
kens Valley coal train was wrecked last
night while attempting to cross the
switches from the Lykens Valley Rail
road to the main tracks of the North
ern Central Railroad at the Lykens
Valley junction while en route to Har
risburg. A switch was turned wrong,
and while the engineer saw the error,
it was too late to control his train. He
reversed, but there was too much
weight behind. The locomotive was de
railed and several coal cars blocked
both main tracks. The engineer and
fireman jumped and escaped unhurt.
The engine ploughed into the ground
for several feet and knocked down a
large steel semaphore. Stinbury and
Millersburg wreck crews cleared away
the wreck.

Financing a Home
fjj Two or three hundred million dollars
is a pretty tidy sum of money, isn't it?.
CJ Has it occurred to you these days
when you read of countries appropriating
such vast sums for war purposes, just
how the money is acquired?.
CJ Bonds are issued to cover the amount,
certain of which expire at one time,
certain others at another time, and so on.
Then these bonds are paid from time
to time as they mature.
CJ It is the mortgage plan pure and simple
—the plan by which countries, states and
municipalities finance big projects.
tj The ownership of your home is no
doubt your first great ambition, as it is
with most men. The financing of a
two or three or four thousand dollar
obligation may look like a big project
to you. But it isn't half as big as it
looks. Pattern after nations, states and
cities—adopt the mortgage plan.
CJ It is not necessary to have the full
purchase price of a home in hand in
orderd to acquire title thereto. If that's
all that lies between you and your home,
a mortgage will bridge the gulf.

Bureau's Drafts Now

has already been

w iiffIUUUQL the >' "lay be dis
-1 fer covered in ample
It Is a codifi
cation of all the laws on the subject
of taxation, except purely local laws,
prepared by the Legislative Reference
Bureau. The code is a mere trilfle of
some 75.000 words long and is admi
rably adapted to light some reading
for those who hanker after this sort
of thing.
The last Legislature directed the
Legislative Reference Bureau to pre
pare codes of laws on all classes of
subject and to present to the session
of 1915 such as may be ready. Three
art virtually ready. They are codifica
tion of taxation laws, borough laws
and corporation laws. The taxation
cqde came from the printer to-day.
and the two others will soon be
ready.
The codification has been going on
for more than a year by a force of
lawyers and laymen working under
the direct supervision of James Mc-
Kirdy, assistant director of the bu
reau, and the first result of their la
bors is going broadcast through the
mails: the taxation code Is a pamphlet
of more than 250 pages, document
size.
"We want criticism on this draft."
said Mr. McKirdy to-day. "We cannot
say that It is perfect, but we believe
that it contains every existing law
on the subject of taxation. This code
establishes no new law; it merely ar
ranges those which exist in a compact
form in one act; if such a code be
enacted every other taxation law will
be repealed, as was the case with the
school laws when the school code was
enacted in 1911.
"We believe the supply of this code
is sufficient for all demands, and any
one will be furnished with a copy who
writes to us for it. We want it to
be read and considered as widely as
possible."
The bureau expects to follow the
same plan of distribution of the other
codes when they are ready.
The code is divided into fourteen
chapters, several of which, such as
township, county and State taxes, have
a lot of different articles; the State
chapter has fifteen different articles.
The general plan Is the jsame as that
of the school code of 1911, except
that the sections In the taxation code
are numbered seriatim from section
one in each chapter or article; in the
|scho 1 code the sections are number-
Ed seriatim from section one of arti
cle one and occasionally a few num
bers would be omitted, so that addi
tions could be made to the school code
without interfering with the numeri
cal order of the sections.
The taxation code contains a sum
mary of the laws used in making the
code, this table Indicating at a glance
to a lawyer just where any existing
law may be found in the code, or
from what existing law any provision
of the code is taken.
Embryo Foresters. Appointments
of ten students to the State Forest
Academy at Mont Alto, who will con
stitute the clasn of 191 V at that insti

passed with the best records were sent
to State forestry reservations for six
weeks of"practical work. Four each
were assigned to Forester Rupp on the
Buchanan forest, Franlin county; For
ester Bletsch on the Greenwood divi
sion of Seven Mountain forest, and
Forester Dague on the Clearfield for
est. The Mont Alto classes are limited
to ten men and to-day's appointees are
the men who qualified th<. best.
The new class will enter on its
studies at Mont Alto on September
The Mpnt Alto stndents are under
no expense except ownership of a
horse; each contracts with the State
to go through the course at the acad
emy and then to work for the State as
a forester at a stipulated salary for
not less than three years, and each Is

assistant director of the Legislative
Reference Bureau, is spending the
week-end in Pittsburgh,
fl} Provided it's a desirable piece of prop
erty, and you have enough money in
hand t® make the initial payment —a
third is usually sufficient—a mortgage
can be arranged at this bank to cover
the balance.
IJ Then as interest periods come 'round,
you can reduce the mortgage by making
what payments you can on the principal.
Th us by degrees the obligation may be
completely wiped out.
q What if it does take five, or ten or
fifteen years ? You are striving; to attain
man s noblest ambition—you are pro
viding a sure shelter for you and yours
in after years, come what may.
fjj Property values increase every year.
Better strike the bargain now when the
home you want is priced more favorably
than it ever will be again. Then twelve
moiiths from now you will be a few
steps nearer the realization of your one
big hope of to-day.
tj After all the big thing is to make
the start. You 11 never get anywhere
until you make a beginning. Early
next week come in and talk the matter
over with us. Monday is none too soon.

Germans had between the French
fronlet and Muelhausen a compara
tively small force and that the major
part of their army was amassed on
the right bank of the Rhine. With

attack was to cause them to fall back
we obtaining control of bridges on the
Rhine to enable us to repulse a coun

| and earthworks. The attack was
; brilliant and forceful and as the Ger
j mans were strongly fortified our suc
| cess was also a valorous deed. The
I enemy suffered heavy losses, but as
j night was approaching our cavalry
was forced to abandon active pur
suit."
