In conclusion I would say to you who do not know me, that I was born and resided on a farm near Berrysburg, Dauphin County, until. I was about twenty years of age.

WHOLE JURY LITTLE TOO HEAVY FOR BOX rContinued from First Page.] wood, settled himself more comfort ably and grinned genially. The Dauphin juror is about 23 years old, is an inch or so over six feet and weighs 365 pounds. The lirst case called in June crimi nal court today occupied nearly all morning and grew out of the question of who owned the music books of the Verdi Italian band. Francesco Cirri lo, one leader of the Verdi, quit that musical organization and went over to the Royal Italian band, a bitter rival. When he left he took with him a tot of the blank music books of the Verdi band, so Its members allege. A part of Francesco's job was to have not only lead their band, but to fill up the music books with regular band music. The bandmaster's troubles were air ed in No. 1 court room before Presi dent Judge Kunkei, while in No. 2 court. Michael Slebani was on trial before Judge McCarrell charged with stealing an old-fashioned watch from John Garrett.

The statement is. in part as follows: "This bill is a step in the carrying out of a comprehensive plan, based on humane and economic principles, for the mental, moral and physical betterment of the Commonwealth's criminals. It contemplates a saving to the taxpayers of the sixty-seven coun ties of the State of upwards of one third of A million dollars annually, now levied upon them for maintaining the inmates of the present eastern and western penitentiaries. Even with the most efficient and humane manage ment, it has been Impossible to make enlightened provision for the prisoners in the old penitentiaries in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. Room was lacking and to secure this in such congested surroundings, where land is held at prohibitive prices, was out of the ques tion. The merging of the two old penitentiaries into a great central in stitution in the center of the Common wealth, in surroundings such as there exist, will make it possible to preserve the moral and physical health of the inmates and to maintain a prison sys tem by which many of the men will be reclaimed and converted into-use ful citizens. Not even the most dili gent efforts of the most high-minded management are of much effect In such quarters as those to which the penitentiaries have been limited. The prisoners are crowded together in close confinement, physically contaminated by their environment and morally con taminated by one another. The pres ent bill looks to the correction of these conditions. The great advantage to the Commonwealth will be more and more apparent as the plan is worked out. To maintain separate peniten tiaries where so excellent an oppor tunity is presented to combine them would be a manifest error." The statement also says that while the consolidation may militate against visiting of prisoners by relatives living in distant parts of the State, this should have no weight against the ad vantages which will accrue to the in mates through the new location. It is pointed out that the physical health of the prisoner should he the first consideration. The statement also sets forth that the new site contains 5252 acres, of which 3,000 acres are arable with big stone deposits and op portunity for brickmaking, farming orchard and other work. It is said that '"from a business standpoint it would be a financial mistake not to combine the two prisons." Water supply and other features are also pointed out and it Is stated that the sale of the present peniten tiaries would produce a fund far in excess of what would be required for the construction of the single insti tution. CHCAGO CAR STRIKE GREATEST IN HISTORY [Continued from First Pace.] was announced, and in many of the suburban districts there will be but one delivery a day until another sys tem is perfected. It was understood that the dozen or more street cars carrying the mails from the post office to the substations in various parts of the city would be operated as usual. Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, superintend ent of public schools, asserted that attempts would be made to continue the schools without interruption, al though the problem of transporting 7,000 teachers gave grave concern. Banquet halls, sample rooms and even the roofs of the large downtown hotels have been converted into sleep ing quarters for nearly 15,000 persons who will be obliged to live near their places of business during the strike. The demand for cots to be placed in office buildings was exceedingly brisk. Thousands of persons have planned to sleep In their offices. Managers of theaters within the business district announced that they would close unless the strike was speedily settled. Baseball at the Na tional I-eague Park, the only Chicago club now on the home grounds, prob ably will be postponed after to-day's game. The closing of some of the big sum mer parks in the outlying districts was regarded as certain. ASK COST TO WIDEN MARKET ST. SUBWAY [Continued from First Page.] final action on the new Walnut street bridge ordinance. The proposed viaduct Mr. Taylor says is intended primarily to relieve traffic conditions between the central and Hill sections of the city and this improvement he believes could he Just as readily and more economically brought about by the widening of the subway. To just what width the subway could be widened Mr. Taylor says can not be determined until Council has some definite information on the cost Including the possible claims for dam ages, and before any further steps in solving the problem can be taken data on the subject will have to be ob tained from the city ingineer. The i resolution will ask that this be fur-l nished as early as possible. PENNSY MAY FILL OLD STEELTON CANAL [Continued on Png« 7.] sumably along Front street, Steelton. Additional strength to this rumor, which is believed to have originated from the presence of railroad engi neers in the vicinity of the old canal, is given by the fact that the Penn sylvania Steel Company has already commenced erection of a huge stand pipe at Front and Swatara streets. The old canal Is now used as a reservoir by the steel company and its use by the railroad company would mean the abandonment of at least a large part of the stream for this pur pose. And this Is Just what it Is be lieved the new standpipe would mean. Already the foundation of the pipe has been completed. It will be a huge sheet steel affair towering into the air 125 feet. It will have a diameter of 22 feet. At the steel company's offices this morning it was said that the pipe would supply water to the new blast furnace and the lower ond of the works No notice, however, has yet been given by the railroad company to vacate the canal, it was said. That the Pennsy has long contem plated just such a move as this has been known for a long time in Steel ton. It is made necessary, men who are in close touch with transportation problems say, by the increasing traffic from the steel works. At the present time freight cars are shifted off the main line into the Steelton yards in the West Side. The rumored arrange ment would relieve the main line from all this traffic. According to to-day's rumor, the new move would mean the abandon ment of the present passenger and freight station in Steelton. Few trains now stop there and the move would not work any hardship. The Pennsy already owns several properties in North Front street above Franklin and in Christian street be tween Trewick and Conestoga streets. Either of these two sites have been talked of as the location of the new station which it is said will be built.

The Pacing of 50 Years The orator of the day, Myer Ka batchnick was then Introduced by Exalted Ruler Benjamin W. Demming. Following reference to the Constitu tion of the United States and calling upon all citizens to obey its mandates, the speaker commended Governor Martin G. Brumbaugh for his humani tarian efforts in providing compensa tion for workingmen, and recommend ing pensions in all branches of indus try, the speaker concluded as fol lows: "This doctrine that human life shall be conserved, coupled with the broad advantages of education now prevail ing, will foster a spirit of love of coun try and contentment under this great republic that will be one of Its great est assets, in peace or in war. "In peaee the nation will be de veloped to Its highest capacity, going forward to unquestioned leadership in industry, commerce, wealth, enlight enment, justice and the pleasure of living. "In time of war, patriotism will be keyed to the highest pitch through love of home, and country, and fellow citizens, a spirit that will know no defeat.". An Interesting feature of the clos ing ritualistic exercises was the build ing of a floral liberty bell by the of ficers of Harrisburg Lodge. This bell when completed, was three feet six inches in heighth. It was made of 1,285 cut flowers, including 600 red roses as the base of the bell. White lilies formed the centej - and blue cen tuera the t<*p. The crosspiece to which the bell was attached was made of evergreens, and included thirteen stars, the number in the first United States flag.
