Saturday night at Lima. Ohio.
Designed at its inception as an in
centive to embryo agriculturists, the
agricultural commission of Ohio, un
der whose auspices it is conducted,
has thrown it open to the public, wfth
the result that it has developed into
a movement of from 1,200 to 1,500
people, boys and girls for the most
part, although there will be a consid
erable contingent of their elders in
the party. The party will be organ
ized along military lines, each train
load constituting a "reginient," and
each carload a "company," with a
"colonel." a "surgeon" and "captain"
in charge.
President A. P. handles. of the Ohio
agricultural commission, and the ori
ginator of the tours, will be the "•gen
eral" in command, while Mrs. Joseph

that almost 5,000 names will be on
the list.

others, are opposed to placing the
saloon among the private residences of
the West End.
The application will l>e presented to

DEMOCRATIC TUX IW
HIT MR. DM CUPID
Recorder Isn't Sure Whether He
Must Make Prospective Bride
grooms Come Across or Not
Vnless Recorder O. G. Wlckersham !
can get some hopeful advice as to the
probabilities and possibilities of the
new Democratic stamp tax act th«j
chances are that L'ncle Sam and young
Mr. Cupid are to be very much at log
gerheads for some time to come.
The leason is very readily explained:
Tuesday the burdensome measure
goes into effect. Certificates, deeds,
oonds, etc., powers ot attornev —all 1
must carry tne stamp, but—and this is
what Is putting the wrinkles in Cupid's
brow—will this affect marriage
licenses? If so, then an additional
twenty cents for every license will be
necessary. It cost 81 tor a license now.
Mr. \\ Ickershani has asked for some
legal advice on the question.
Every deed that is re. orded after
Monday must carry a stamp, fifty cents
on every SSOO exchanged in the trans
fer.
Many Business Men Hit
Revenue stamps and blanks were In
great demand to-day. Deputy Revenue
Collector William s. Brinser was busy
selling war tax stamps and answering
questions of local business men. Every
branch of business is taken. C. Floyd
Hopkins, manager of the Wllmer-Vin
cent and Appell theaters was obliged to
pay a tax ot 8300. Railroad ptrons are
also included.
On and after Tuesday, December 1,
ever bill of lading, manifest or evidence
of receipt for each shipment on a rail
road. whether in bulk or packages,
must bear an Internal revenue stamp
one cent In value, furnished by the
shipper.
! lUIUIRS
fOll EXTENSION
[Continued From First Pago]
the time of Its planning and its com
! pletion the Highway. Health, Police
and other departments were created
and so much space was devoted to
legislative uses that in less than two
years after the building was occupied
1 otlices had to be rented outside. The
plans or Joseph M. Huston called for
ultimate extension of the wings and a
connecting building so that the Capitol
would be a huge square, but the mal
odorous transactions attending the
furnishing of the building put an end
to any discussion of extension and no
one has cared to take it up officially.
At present the State has branches
in three or four office buildings in
| Harrisburg and Is occupying six bulld
ings in Capitol Park extension which
must be torn down in the next two
years. It has offices In other places
and its rent roll is about 120,000 a
year. The plan to give accommoda
tions to these branches would be to
extend the three wings about 200 feet
to the east and to tinish them like the
west front except for the connecting
wings.
That Awful West Front
The Teltigraph has several times
called attention to the overcrowding
of the Capitol and to the necessity for
sooner or later providing more room.
I and has also noted from time to time
! the unfortunate fact that, although
, the State erected a magnificent bulld
ing. the western front of the park re
mains as it was twenty-five or thirtv
years ago with a brownstone flight of
I steps of medieval design and drive
ways up the side of the park which
are both tortuous and full of torture.
When the time comes to work out
the landscape gardening of the park
extension the projects, alreadv men
tioned from time to time, of orna
mentation. erection of armories beside
the railroad and of providing drive
ways through the park, will be con
sidered. Half a million dollars will
probably be required to grade, plant,
sod and fix up the park and to take
care of the western front of the build
ing. and possibly to give a start to
i the scheme for armories at the Wal
nut and North street corners, which
would extend along those streets and
have a narrow front against the rail
road, so that they would really form
an entrance and not interfere with
the view from the trains.
An interesting problem will be con
nected with the trolley tracks. Exten
sion of the building would mean tha/
they would be carried over the present
line of Fourth street and the trolley
tracks would have to go on the route
now In use through a tunnel. It is
believed that the idea of making a
swing so as to send the line through
the park at what Is now Short street
will prevail, as it would do away with
the expense of a tunnel and avoid
grades. Under the act driveways
through the park must be left.

Cause of One Death
As the result of the death yesterday j
of little Albert Farina, the 6-year-old j
son of Frank Farina, a grocer of 681
South Second street. Burgess Fred
Wigtield this morning asserted that
he would at once instruct the police,
department to take drastic measures
to break up the practice among small
boys of riding on the rear end of
wagons and automobiles.
It is a direct result of this practice,
witnesses say. that the Farina tioy
lost his life. Dropping frolu the rear
end of a wagon, witnesses say, he fell
directly in tront of a trolley car. Al-i
though his right hand was severed, his ;
skull fractured In three places, a leg!
and his nose broken and his body j
terribly bruised and cut, the little lad;
lived for five hours after he was taken 1
to the hospital by Dr. W. P. Dalley. j
