FOUR CLEM SCORES
IN LIVE BIRD SHOOT
To Decide State Championship on
Saturday; Darkness Ends Big
Handicap Event
As a result of a tie-up in yesterday's
annual State live bird shoot at Fourth
and Division streets, Harrisburg will
have another big event on Saturday.
Four crack shots ended the yearly
handicap event last evening with a
clean score of twenty birds killed.
They were, "Wellington" (G. Hepler),
Harrisburg; Jzzy Hoffman. Philadel
phia; James E. Schmcck, Wyomissing.
and Peter Kline, of Fleetwood. Fred
W. Dinger, of Harrisburg, present
holder of the championship trophy
quit with a score of 19.
The shoot-oft on Saturday will be
for the trophy and championship and
will take place during the team match
between Dauphin and Cumberland
county shooters. There will also be a
sweepstake match. Shooting will start
at 10 o'clock. It was agreed late last
night to have a twenty bird race to de
cide the Slate honors.
Shoot Ends I,ate
The State shoot ended at dark last
night with much dissatisfaction on the
part of the officials of the Harrisburg
Sportsmen's Association. Among the
seventy-six entries in yesterday's event,
not one shooter had any censure for
the Harrisburg men. An outsider
mixed things up badly, and a score of]
shooters were obliged to remain in
Harrisburg because he carried one of
the score sheets around in his pocket
until a late hour last night, making a
settlement impossible until the sheet
was turned over to the officials.
The four shooters with high scores
divided $243.30. For second money,
amounting to $182.40, four shooters,
including Fred W. Dinger, of Harris
burg, present State champion, tied
with a total of 10 with live others.
Ten shooters with scores of IS di
vi ted $121.60, and a large number
\vLfi scores of 17 each divided fourth
ifleney, $«o. so.
Lights were burning and a heavy
rain was falling when the last ten lncn
stepped to the traps to complete their
entries. An eight-bird match preced
ing the championship shoot delayed the
latteV and caused much inconveni
ences, a number of shooters with
drawing before they started on the
third round. The birds were fast and
the field poor.

TAYLOR REPUES TO
GRANDSTAND MAYOR
[Continued from First I'agc.]
job or admit that he only offered the
resolution for grandstand purposes.
At the last meeting of Council the
i Mayor submitted wnat he called a
i "plan," merely a repetition of what
[ had been discussed by the councilmen
I prior to the session. However, he de
clared that he had no information on
the subject and ironically added that
neither he nor Mr. Gorgas "were mind
readers."
In replying to the Mayor's letter of
inquiry Mr. Taylor says:
Honorable John K. Royal, and Fellow-
Members of Council,
Harrisburg, Penna.:
Gentlemen —In response to your let
ter of inquiry regarding thte work of
this department I beg to say that we
have always stood ready to cheerfully
furnish, whenever requested, full in
formation concerning its past work
and its plans for the future. We are
especially glad to do so in this pres
ent instance, since we have no desire
to accuse you of being "mind readers."
In this connection I feel compelled
to remark, however, that in my opinion
the quickest and most accurate way in
which to begin securing an answer to
a problem is to frankly seek the
opinion of the persons charged with
the conduct of the work in question.
This seems far better—not to say more
courteous—than to first publish a so
lution to tae problem and to then seek
the information upon which to base
the answer.
You have inquired regarding the
construction work which this depart
ment plans to do during this year, and
the manner in which it is to be done.
The main piece of construction, and
the only one of any magnitude, is the
opening of the Parkway road from its
present terminus to Reservoir Park.
In addition to this there will be. the
grading of the river banks, the in
stallation of two lighting systems, the
construction of a concrete arch bridge
and a golf club house, and the grading
of the Sycamore playground. There
will, of course, be a number of other
small constructions, such as the build
ing of a few fountains, some small foot
bridges, the rebuilding of tennis courts,
and many other minor works. These
latter are so small, and will be done at
such odd times as our summer's work
permits, that they need scarcely be
considered, in connection with your
present question, especially as none of
them can be begun at this time.
And now just a few words regarding
the ilrst-mcntioned works, and the
reasons for not beginning them at this
season of the year.- Contracts for the
golf club house and the concrete
bridge were both awarded last Decem
ber; thus these works are In the hands
of the respective contractors, who are
at liberty to begin at any time. The
fact that tTicy have not begun to date
is merely an evidence of their good
judgment and common sense. Both
of these contracts were awarded at
How prictrr, ana neither contractor
would be warranted in prosecuting the
work, except under favorable con
ditions. nor could we compel their
beginning at this time. In addition,
both contractors have their own or
ganizations, and neither work will re
quire more thah a few men. Indeed
the cost for materials in both eases
form the large part of the contract
price.
The above remarks apply with even
more force to the installation of the
lighting systems. These contracts
were let at actual cost, and what labor
is involved will be readily handled by
the contractor's present organization.
Moreover, to attempt this work under
the present weather conditions would
be to ruin the parks.
In the case of the Sycamore play
ground, the amount of grading to be
done this year is less than you evi
dently assume to be necessary. It is
essentially a case of making shallow
cuts and (ills, and we have every con
fidence in our own opinion when we
say this is NOT a time to do light
grading.
There remains the Parkway road
and the river bank grading. This lat
ter we expect to do with our own force
of men, because the greatly varying
conditions obtaining along the river
front, and the fact that the work will
be mainly the fine grading and plant
ing of the slopes, make this the cheap
est and the only satisfactory way of
obtaining the desired results." It seems
almost too superfluous to say that no
such grading as that contemplated can
be done while the river banks are
either solid with frost or muddy with
surface P.iawing.
The statement has been made that
wo have already done grading along
these banks. This is true, and' we did
it for the very sufficient reason that
we could ,at that time, get the fill for
nothing. It was a good business
proposition for the city, but only be
cause the fill was free and because we
attempted nothing but rough grading
which lias long since been completed'
If you wish to sec the effect of grading
steep slopes while the slopes and the
till are in a frozen condition, we sug
gest that you examine the above work
The fill north of "Hardscrabble" is
being placed by contract, under terms
especially advantageous to the city
The control of the labor on this work'
of course, lies with the contractor A
mere glance at the banks in this sec
tion should show anyone whether or
not line grading would bo feasible at
this time of the year.
In my report for last year I stated
that the land necessary for the Park
way was "practically" all acquired
We are especially desirous of opening
the road this year, and we expect to
accomplish this. There is. however a
small piece of land of about one-third
of an acre to which we must get title
This has been partially promised, but
has not as yet been acquired. Yet this
small tract controls the passing of the
title (which title has been definitely
promised) or that piece of land upon
which nearly all of the heavy work of
road grading will be done. I mention
these farts to answer your question
concerning the legal status of these
lands. It is possible that were it de
sirable, some arrangement might be
made whereby the road construction
might lie started, but this would be
far from desirable.
The construction of this road will
constitute what Is known as light
grading, by which it is meant that the
excavations will be comparatively
shallow and the fills rntlier low, and
that the total yardage involved will be
HARRISBURG «£%& TELEGRAPH
relatively light. Your reference to the
grading of the Pennsylvania Railroad
freight sheds is an unfortunate com
parison. To anyone acquainted with
work of this character. It Is perfectly
clear that a steam shovel can work
rather easily and economically, mak
ing cuts of from ten to twenty feet,
even though the top three or four feet
of, the cut be frozen so as to require
blasting, or be soft from spring thaw
ing. It is also equally clear to him
that in shallow cuts where horses and
plows would be used, such work would
be highly tnipraetical. There is no
parallel between the two cases. But
In addition to the above points there
is the very important one that we
have embankments to make out of the
materials from these cuts—und neither
frozen lumps of earth nor a sticky clay
road could well be considered lit ma
terial to work with.
These (Ills must be made over
swampy ground, whose drainage alone
Is one of the problems of this road,
and a problem which we do not care
to solve until we can distinguish
springs and true swamp conditions
from what are simply boggy condi
tions due to spring thaws.
We expect to have this work done
by contract, because we believe that
it can be more economically done in
this way. To place this work under
contract, however, will require that
still more work be done. We have
been preparing these plans at such
times during the winter as opportuni
ties permitted, but had laid our plans
as above outlined, and have never de
sired to give the Impression that these
plans were complete.
I have tried to give you in some de
tail our plans for this year and our
reasons for not beginning the work at
this season. I wish to assure you that
I fully appreciate the conditions of
business and realize the widespread
want. Indeed I myself have worked
in the mills so long that I am probably
more familiar than the other members
with the , want existing—and which
I have trtcd to alleviate, as far as I
was able. Tet I cannot but feel that,
had I been the one to propose starting
the work in my department under
present weather conditions I would
have been pilloried far and wide as an
unscrupulous politician, who threw
common sense and honesty to the
winds in an effort to give some fa
vored henchman work at the citv's
expense—and this too by some of
your strongest supporters.
I am quite well aware that my re
fusal to start this work is being used
as politl.-aT capital by some, but I am
also convinced that the people of Har
risburg expect jne to act as a conscien
tious steward. This I intend to do
despite all efforts to misconstrue my
actions.
I trust that I have furnished in suf
fletont detail the informations which
you desire, but if there is anything
further which you desire in this mat
ter, I shall be most happy to furnish it.
Respectfully submitted,
M. HARVEY TAYLOR,
Superintendent of Parks and Public
Property.

JOHNSON FIGHT IS
NOW UNCERTAINTY
Colored Champion Unable to
Reach Juarez by March 6;
May Arrest Fugitive
Special to The Telegraph
El Paso, Texas, Feb. 23.—Virtual
postponement of the Jack Johnson-
Jess Wlllard boxing bout was admitted
late yesterday by Jack Curley, the pro
moter. It was believed that Johnson
could not arrive at Juarez, Mexico, on
the border here, from Havana by way
of any Mexican seaport by March 6.
Curley, however, declared that he
believed Johnson would arrive safely
at Juarez within a short time after
the original date; but he did not make
known how he would make his way
through the ports held by Carranza to
the. Villa lines. The Carranza officials
have announced their Intention of ar
resting Johnson on the ground that he
is a fugitivo from justice in the United
States.
Johnson cabled from Cuba to Cur
ley that if it were considered impos
sible to hold the light in Juarez the
bout, could be held in Havana. Cur
ley, however, declared that he would
not consent to this, since all matters
hail been arranged at Juarez.
Curley declared again that no other
boxer would be substituted for John
son. He said that Johnson would
need at least a week's training at
Juarez before the fight.
This week, with the time required
for Johnson's trip through Mexico,
even should he encounter no great
difficulty, would make it impossible
