She was cut with a razor by her husband. Charles Dixon, a month ago. Her condition to-day was said to be serious. Mrs. Dixon told her story to District Attorney Stroup in the presence of her husband. Witnesses present were Miss Clara Miller, stenographer: Colonel Joseph B. Hutchison, and Detective John Murnane. The wife said her husband quarreled with her because! she asked for money. That he cut at her several times with a razor, but aid not know she had been cut until she saw the blood on her dress. Then she fainted and was taken to the Har rlsburg hospital.

CftJUUSBURG telegraph : TAYLOR REGRETS THE MANNING 'CHALLENGE' (Continued from First Pa*?.] unfortunate that the opinion of tho city's landscape .arcntteci who mapped out Harrlsburg's park development and beautlrlcatlon scheme, should have dif fcrred with that of the Patriot owners. It appears that February 12 one of the officers of the Patriot wrote the architect for his views on the subject and the latter aijswered February 25. Copies of thia letter were sent Mr. Taylor and E. S. Herman, president of the Planning Commission, according to Mr. Taylor. The park expert sug gested t hat the letter be not released for publication until the park commis sioner obtained consent of Mr. Herman and II B. McCortnlck. who wrote for the opinion. Mr. Herman is in Flor ida. but the commissioner of parks said he obtained assurance that he might make public Mr. Manning's views. The commissioner of parks, of course, asked Mr. McCormick whether or not the people of the city might not he given the benefit of the expert opin ion on the coat wharf problem. This was last Saturday. The Patriot this morning printed the Manning letter together with the "challenge" of Vance C. McCormick. president of the Patriot. In the "challenge'' Mr. Mc- Cormick took decided exception to Mr. Manning's opinion. Mr. Taylor's Statement Commissioner Taylor this morning said: "That the views of the city's land scape architectural expert did not coincide with the opinions of two of our private citizens, Mr. McCormick. secretary-treasurer of the Patriot, and his brother, Vance C. McCormick. is unfortunate, but alas true. However. lam more than delighted.at the Pat riot's thoughtfulness in eventually de ciding to make public the views of Mr. Manning on a matter of interest to the public. "Mr. H. B. McCormick wrote the park expert under date of February 12 on the coal wharf question, and the latter answered under date of Febru ary 25. Incidentally Mr. Manning mailed Mr. E. S. Herman, president of th? City Planning Commission and my self. copies of the letter. Mr. Her man. however, is in Florida. Puzzled at Delay "Naturally I rather expected to see something about this opinion in the Patriot. When time passed and noth ing appeared, I called up the secre tary-treasurer of the Patriot and ask ed when the public might expect to ob tain some idea of Mr. Manning's opin ion through the columns of his paper. "Mr. McCormick declared he wasn't a bit pleased with the park expert's views, but asked me to refrain from acquainting the people of Harrisburs on the subject until he had consulted with his brother, Vance. "To-day 1 saw in the Patriot the opinion of Mr. Manning in full, to gether with that of Mr. Vance C. Mc- Cormick. president of the Patriot company, also in full. He who reads may readily see that the Messrs. Mc- Cormick were quite evidentlv sur prised. even hurt, at Mr. Manning's attitude in presuming to differ with them. Patriot Meant to Be Fair "Just what motive actuated the Pat riot in withholding the Manning let ter until I called attention to its ap parent oversight, shall we sav? I can't understand. Possibly it remem bered the caption at the top of its editorial page, which, I believe, is generally understood to indicate the newspaper's policy. This states among other things: 'lt will be just and fair to all men.' "Doubtless," observed Commission er Taylor in conclusion, "It thought to be just to Mr. Manning by withhold ing from the people his views on the problem because his opinion did not agree with that of the Patriot's own ers. "It's really too had. isn't it?" Park Expert Manning's opinion fol lows: Mr. Manning's Ix»tter Boston. Mass.. Feb. 25. 1915. Mr. Henry B. McCormick, Bergner Building. Harrisburg. Pa.: Dear Mr. McCormick—l have just returned to my office from the South after my Harrisburg visit, during which I received your note of February 12. I called at the Patriot office as you requested and talked with one of the reporters, but was not able to see the managing editor, who was out at the time. I l*ve written hint stating that I shall make It a point to see him the next time I am there, because I am anxious, as I know you all are. to do everything that can be done to advance the interests of the city, and want the co-operation of the Patriot. Interests of Greater Number I did not feel justified when I was in Harrisburg in giving an opinion for or against either site. I gave your reporter my reasons for and agaist both sites. I must admit, however, that after think ing the whole matter over it does seem to me. after having gone into the matter thoroughly with all parties interested, that the in terests of the greater number of people would be conserved if all handling of coal could be provided for on the island (where the filtra tion plant is) in an Inoffensive manner, because so many more people use and are likely to use Front street shore and bluff top walks, and because there are so many people living on Front street than ever will live on the island who are likely to be annoyed bv the clatter, the dust and the in evitable untidiness of the coal wharf. I'nattractive Alternative One of the principal objections to the proposition is that only a part of the coal handling by this arrangement Will be transferred to the island, about one-third as near as I can make out, and that some of the wharves along Front street will still be maintained for this purpose. If the plant is put on the island, however, it may be come so obviously advantageous to the city that action may later i be taken to transfer all such work to that point. An alternative to this island ! coal handling proposition that was presented by the company seemed to me a very unattractive I one. Their alternative was a floating barge with derricks and hoisting apparatus and bins that j could be landed along the shores of Front street and that would be j floated up and down tho river. Such a structure could not be made as architecturally attracthe j as 1 believe a structure on the irland can be made, and It would l>c likely to interfere much more with nie recreation uses of the basin. Factor Not to Be Ignored I felt that the 100,000 tons of coal an<) the 20.000 to 30.000 tons of sand that were taken from the basin yearly were too important a commercial factor for the city of Harrisburg to be ignored, it is certain that all this material can not be handled at any point below the dam. 1 might say that the picture in the Patriot of the coal handling olont did not renresent what I have in mind for t'<e treatment of the plant on the island. This is o personal letter, cony of which I an< sending to . Mr. Taylor and Mr. Herman, with the request that it not be published without their approval. Vours very truly, (signed) WARREN H. MANNING. - ;' ! : : r ■ ■ -yl / ■ i ; . _' V; The Life Experiences of a Family of Traction Experts Are Embodied in The Morton Tractor IJ When you buy a Morton Truck or Tractor you buy something more than a mere motor-propelled vehicle of the ordinary type. Back "of the finest materials that can be put into a modern motor vehicle, are the years of study and experience of an entire family of traction experts who have devoted their life to producing traction and motor-propelled machinery. <J As designers and experimental experts for several of the largest machinerv corporations in the world, father and sons have invented and perfected self-pro pelled machinery that are famous in every country on the globe. Consequently,, when they market a truck or tractor under their own name, backed by ample local capital and experienced machinery manufacturers, you are assured "of a product that is equal to the best ih its price class. When your transportation problems demand something more rapid, powerful and economical than old "Dobbin," but just as faithful and trustworthy in its performance, the following specifications of high-grade mechanical merit com bined with the "Morton" experience should be ample assurance that you make no mistake in choosing a Morton motor vehicle.
