I'AI.MKR AND THE METAL SCHEDULE (Johnstown I.eader.] Mr. Palmer, Democratic nominee for United States senator, is making a lot of ehaVges against United States Senator Penrose, and against a great group of men who boomed the Penrose candidacy before the primaries and are now supporting the Republican nominee. The list of these men in cludes the names of those most prom inent in the commercial and indus trial life of the State. Mr. Palmer in ! timates that they all are crooks. Mr. ; Penrose, speaking in Harrisburg. j where iron and steel industries are of importance, thought Harrisburg work men should have asked Mr. Palmer about his stewardship of the metal schedule in the Underwood tariff. That schedule. declares Mr. Penrose, slaughtered the industries of Pennsyl vania and earned its author the title of Benedict Arnold of this State. The metal schedules are vital to Harris burg. Bethlehem, Johnstown and Pittsburgh. Mr. Penrose has made several studies of the situation at close range and when he says the work of 'Mr. Palmer threw thousands of men lout of employment he is prepared to I prove his charge.

COUNCIL POSTPONES i FILL PROBLEM IFTER HOUR'S DISCUSSION Will- Take Up Front Street Im provement Question in Special Session ! After an hour's fruitless discussion | City Council this afternoon evidently by mutual consent let the River Front "till" problem drop out of sight and adjourned without taking any definite action relative to acquiring the earth that will be excavated from the Second street subway. | The commissioners will meet in i special session to-morrow and it is ex pected that the question will be se .- tied finally at that time. Failure on the part of the City En gineer to furnish an estimate of the amount of "fill" needed to provide three feet of earth immediately out side the western curb of Front street from Maelay to Division, City Com missioner M. Harvey Taylor gave as the reason he had not yet advertised for the hauling of the material for completing the park system along the water front. In a communication to Council City Engineer Cowden estimated 10,000 cubic yards for the purpose. When this communication was read the row began. "We'll need at least 5,000 yards for the river front below Paxton," pointed out Mr. Taylor, "and I understand that the contractors will want 5.000 them selves. Now. then, if we use 10,000 yards for the support of the street above Maelay street, that means we'll have none to complete the park system below Maclav. And we'll have prac tically nothing to show for it and the SK,OOO that it will cost will come out of the park fund. In other words, we'll be paying sfi,ooo out of the park fund to support the street." Mr. Bowman: "Why, you'll have the park up there." Mr. Taylor: "A park—three feet!" Mayor Royal: "No, three feet addi tional to what you've got." Mr. Taylor declared that that wasn't the meaning of the Royal resolution and a reading of the motion sup ported his contention. "Now," declared the park head, "I don't want to advertise for 10.000 cubic yards above Maelay street under | these circumstances when there'll be nothing to show for It below. And the purpose was to complete the park ing of the river front." Trying to Fool Somebody "Rut." suggested Mr. Lynch, "we adopted the resolution, didn't we?" "The Mayor didn't mean that, how ever, by his resolution," said Mr. Tay lor. "No," said Mayor Royal. "T didn't mean that. T meant to have at least three feet all along on the outside of the curb." Mr. Bowman: "But we adopted the resolution." Mayor Royal: "Yes. that's true. We adopted the resolution—and I guess we'd be required to stand by the action." Mr. Taylor: "What's the use of trying to fool anyone about this? If the street had been tilled out above Maelay street and the support of the curbing wasn't needed, would you, Mayor, have introduced that resolu tion ?" Mayor Royal: "No. I'll tell you frankly. I would not. But 1 deemed the support of the curb and the street the most Important matter that should be settled now." Mr. Taylor: "And that means that you're taking the sfi,ooo from the park fund to pay for the support of the street. Now 1 don't want to ad vertise for bids for this- I'll tell Coun cil trankly. We want to tinish the parking of the River Front and T don't thjnU it is right that we should pay our department money to sup port the street and not linvc anything to show for the Improvement of thei park on the River Front." Water Main Problem Council took up the "1111" problem after discussing for half an hour the resolution to reconsider the laying of tho new water mains in the river park instead of in Front street. Mr. Bowman suggested that Council meet nt 9 o'clock to-morrow to go over the proposed line with a view to seeing whether the great trees will lie ruined by the pipe line in the park paths. Immediately after the stroll Council will meet in special session on the sub ject. Attorney W. K. Meyers, represent ing the Civic Club, spoke briefly before c< i.ncll. He urged the commission ers not to lay the pipes in the paths ■ •ecause of the trees. He was Invited to join the commissioners in their walk through the park. Mayor Royal asked if it were not practicable and more economical to ! run the pipe line down Second street Instead of Front. Ex-Water Commis sioner Mather told him, he said, that the original intention had been to lay the pipe in Second street and that the laying of the pipe in Front street rather than Second would he a "wicked and wasteful expenditure of the tax payers' money." Council passed Anally this afternoon the ordinance authorizing the opening of those sections of Front street to low water mark which have not yet been formally opened by the municipality. The sections in question include the strip between Liberty and South and between Harris and Maelay. This settles finally the question of indivi dual ownership. After the meeting Commissioner Taylor declared he will advertise at once for "fill" for the river front between Hamilton and Maelay streets. These bids will likely be opened Sep tember 18 or J9. Austrians Retreating Before Russian Fire By .Associated Press Washington, Sept.

PROPOSAL MADE ID CMUEI SV WILSON Troops Will Be Withdrawn Only After Carranza Accepts Pro visional Presidency Special la The Telegraph Washington. Sept. 7.—lnformation Is obtained from a reliable source that President Wilson has offered to with draw the American troops and ma rines from \ era Cruz if General Car ranza, First Chief of the Constitu tionalist movement and the present executive head of the government at Mexico City, will resign from his present position in favor of some other prominent Mexican. President Wilson also, according to information from the same source, will grant immediate recognition to Car ranza If he assumes the office of Pro visional President, but on condition that he will not be a candidate for Constitutional President in the elec tions which the Constitutionalists are pledged to hold at an early date. \\ ithdrawal of the American armed forces from Vera Cruz will come im mediately after recognition has been given by this government. There is another alternative, pro posed by President Wilson as the mat ter was explained here. It is set forth in this way: If Carranza does not assume the title of Provisional Presi dent but continues to eexreise the ex ecutive power as first chief of the Constitutionalists, the United States Government immediately will give him recognition and will agree that Car ranza shall be a candidate in the gen eral elections and furthermore will recognize the person selected at tiie polls. Pending this election, however, the United States will retain its forces at Vera Cruz. Theseproposals.it is asserted, have been placed before General Carranza by Paul Fuller, a New York attorney and friend of President Wilson, who is now in Mexico City as an unofficial emissary of the President. There is a hopeful feeling in well Informed circles here,- apparently based on reli able information, that General Car ranza will accept the proposal stated. The situation is somewhat compli cated and causes uneasiness, but the Washington administration apparently is determined that Carranza shall com ply with the constitutional forms that he and his followers were so insistent in upholding when General Iluerta was exercising the duties of provi sional President.
