Between the hack of the row and the fence there was not more than seven feet of space, and in each of these diminutive yards was an out house. A narrow alley, possibly less than three feet, runs along the rear of the row. The other side of the alley is formed by u house, so that from the rear of the row of houses FRIDAY EVENING. HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH APRIL 16, 1915. on the far side of the alley there is a distance of only ten feet, and within this are outhouses which, it is said. In summer become very offensive. Sir. Ihlder believes that the city should enact legislation whereby the owner of the row of houses could be com pelled to purchase the house on the far side of the or passageway and extend the yards over that space. Instances of this kind are numerous in the Sixth, Seventh, Eighth and Ninth wards. Houses Too Close In one Sixth ward tenement a man and his wife and four children occupy two rooms on the top floor and pay $0 a month. In another nearby section Mr. Ihlder found four rooms over a warehouse and these four rooms were occupied by four families, who each paid $4 a month for them. Entrance to the rooms is made by means of a fllfrht of stairs on the outside. These and many other conditions similar were found to-day, and when Mr. Ihlder makes his official report ho promises to offer suggestions whereby families can live in better quarters if the city lawmakers and citizens sup port a housing movement for llarrls burg. Mr. Ihlder has not confined his visits to the sections of the city where there are many poor persons, but he has also traveled to the parts where some of the finest houses have been constructed or are in tbe course of construction. He says that the hous ing conditions there are also bad, that tlie houses, in many oases, are built too close together, and that there is not enough breathing space between them. Hold Conference At noon to-day Mr. Ihlder met the board of directors of the Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce at luncheon at the Harrisburg Club. The housing ex pert told of his surveys and methods followed in other cities. At 3 o'clock this afternoon, in a talk to the county and city officials at the Courthouse. Mr. Ihlder told of the necessity for immediate action to bring about better housing conditions. He urged the city officials to get busy on an ordinance and invited all officials to hear his final report to the public to-night. Everybody is invited to the audi torium of the Harrisburg Public Library to-night at 8 o'clock. Mr. Ihlder will make his complete report and recommendations.

WILL THREESTEEL COMPANIES MERGE? [Continued from First Page.] poration. The new combination, the story has it, would be controlled by the Schwab-Frick interests. In part the North American says: "Along with the activity in Cambria Steel yesterday ftiere was heard in a few quarters sometimes favored with early information ruinor of a deal such as was hinted at Tuesday. The story is interesting and also entirely possible of coming true, but It should be clearly understood that at this writ ing it lacks any real confirmation. Men wtih imaginations seize upon the thought. Charles M. Schwab is one of those who has imagination, and, act ing upon it, has coined it into gold. "The feeling has taken hold of not a few in the financial world that the government suit for dissolution of the Steel Corporation will be decided by the lower court in favor of the de Special Values in Summer Shoes, Oxfords and pumps at $1.98 & $2.48 Saturday 20th Century Shoe Co. 7 South Market Square "SHOES THAT WEAR" 11 fendant, and that the Wilson adminis tration will not carry an appeal if the corporation shall agree to divest Itself of its transportation lines and par ticularly of the Tennessee Coal and Iron property. This working out, the problem would be to find a buyer for the Tennessee property. "Such purchaser might be provided in the shape of another steel com bination second only in strength to the Steel Corporation. Humor has it that .lust such a combination is in the imaginations of Charles M. Schwab and Henry C. Frlck, and that, it is quite possible that they will join forces and weld together a greater Beth lehem Steel Corporation with Mr. Schwab as the directing head. "Thus the story runs. It looks to a taking over of the Cambria Steel from the Pennsylvania Railroad and other owning interests; of the Pennsylvania Steel, just made over by a $10,000,000 plant investment, from the Pennsyl vania Railroad and Reading Company interests, and of the present Beth lehem Steel, putting these three great independent steel concerns of the state under one control and management and bringing into the combination the Tennessee Coal and Iron, to be taken over from the Steel Corporation. "Schwab and Frlck are now the rul ing men in the two most important of these four iron and steel properties. There has been a strong accumulation of Bethlehem Steel common during recent weeks, as is quite definitely re ported for account of the Frick inter ests. The Frick party holds the bulk of the Cambria Steel stock not owned by the Pennsylvania Company, and has been several times anxious to buy that majority holding. To sell their holdings of steel stocks the railroads want cash. "The Frick-Schwab interests work ing together could easily arrange pur chase upon such terms with credit facilities large, as they now arc, and then could sell the acquired stocks to a new company and take its securi ties in payment. It was suggested yesterday by a well-known banker that in such a deal Bethlehem Steel common might very easily be taken at an appraised value of $l5O per share and Cambria Steel on the same percentage basis, which would be $75 per share, or about its shown book value. No figure was mentioned for Pennsylvania Steel. It was urged that no legal obstacle to such a deal would be likely to be encountered." Vice-President J. V. W. Reynders and other officials of the Pennsylvania Steel Company at Steelton this morn ing declined to comment on the story from Philadelphia concerning a ru mored merger of Xiree steel com panies.
