Dying Woman Accuses
Husband of Stabbing
An antemortem statement was
made to-day by Mrs. Jane Dixon, who
is in a serious condition at the Har
risl.urg hospital. 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.
Dixon did not deny the cutting, but
he had been drinking, and knew
nothing about the quarrel. He has
retained Robert Stucker as his at
torney. It is probable that an appli
cation will be made to the court for
Dixon's release on bail.

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.

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.
