The report of the investigation con ducted by the police committee, cover ing forty-one sheets of paper, was distributed this morning to members of the police committee and the bor ough solicitor, F. B. Wickersham. What action council will take in the case is a matter of conjecture. It is known that Burgess Wigfield lias strong support In council in his effort to secure a hit of efficiency in tho police department, and while the friends of Patrolman Jones in council are going to put up a stiff fight for his retention, there will be little surprise if council sustains the burgess.

Breaking Up Rocks Along River Wall; Defer Plans in Market Street Problem Men in the employ of the Stucker Brothers Construction Company are engaged in breaking up some of the large rocks along the river wall in the vicinity of PefTer street. There are still many of these rocks which will probably be removed before high wa ter makes it impossible to clean up this section. Some filling is necessary in order to level tho space between the slope and the wall at different points along the river. As it looks now, the working out of something like a decent plan for the completion of the wall at Market street will have to be postponed until next year, although the water is now at a stage which makes this work comparatively easy. There is a grano lithic walk connecting the two sections of the steps and wharf at Paxton street, but no walk or other provision seems to have been designed for the break at Market street. George B. /Tripp, vice-president of the Harrisburg Light and Power Com pany, states that his company, which is one of the large river coal operat ors, will provide a hoisting device for the removal of its coal at the river wharves so as to make unnecessary a wide opening at any point. It is also the purpose of the company to use closed carts so that there will be no sifting of the dirt along the paved streets. Park Men Can Now Get Busy Dressing Slopes Park Commissioner Taylor has his work so far advanced in the southern part of the city that it will now be possible to employ a considerable number of men in putting the park and slope south of Paxton street in shape. It is expected that the defec tive sections of the river wall in the neighborhood of Tuscarora street will be completed In a day or two and there will then be nothing to interfere with the final treatment of the park In that section. Many trees will also be planted throughout the park system from Iron alley to Maclay street. The slope south of Market street and between Market street and the pump ing station is in a more or less ragged condition and this will be remedied without delay so that with the coming oi Spring there may be an abundance of matrimony vine and barberry hedge to cover the unsightly and barren ter race. Nothing appears to have been de veloped regarding the treatment of the abrupt point above the wall in front of the pumping station and unless pro vision La made to prevent erosion by the high water, considerable damage to the beautiful plaza of the pumping station will result. WESTERN' LINES REINFORCED Russia Dominates Military Situation; Has Great Effect in light In West By Associated Press London, Nov. 9, 9:55 a. m.—Russia dominates the military situation to day. The speed with which she has cleared the invaders from Russian Poland must necessarily have a great effect on tho campaigns in the other war theater. Persistent reports continue to reach London that the Germans are send ing heavy reinforcements to their western lines. News of a contrary nature, to the effect that the Germans are preparing to reterta through Bel glum, also is rife, but the experts seem to place more credence oti the reports of reinforcements and the coming week is looked forward to as one of the most crucial of the war.

I am more than glad at the success of Senator Penrose, and the result in New York was glorious." CAPTURES HAWK ALIVE Voting Track Hand Has Fierce Eight in Subduinir Rig Bird Lewistown. Pa., Nov. 9.—Stories of the mighty hunters of ages long gone by have been equaled by a Lewistown youth, Fred Hayes, who captured with his hands a mighty hawk measuring four feet across the wings. Fred Hayes is a son of F. A. Hayes, Sr.. supervisor of the Sunbury and Lewistown branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and is employed in tile sec tion crew of track repairmen. The men were at work near the high bridge, about three miles east of Lewis town. when they saw a large bird alight in a strip of woods near by. Thinking that the bird was an Im mense owl, the men decided that they would try to capture It. Foreman Thomas entered the woods and saw the bird standing in a path and Haves crept around to the rear. He got within six feet of the bird when he made a leap and succeeded in grasping the bird by one leg. With a loud squawk and beating of its great wings tho bird tried to rise. Hayes held or» despite the fact that the huge bird was raining blows on his head and shoulders with these ponderous wings. The bird fastened its free talon into Hayes' hair, fighting with all its strength. Tho bird was finally sub dued and taken to the young man's home. A couple of months ago Hayes captured a live blacksnake near this same spot measuring six feet in length. FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE IX CHICAGO CONTROLLED By Associated Press Chicago.
