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.

"On September 5, our troops took

"In Northern Oalicla serious fight-1

is retreating before the onslaught of

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.
