8 REPUBLICANS DO NOT FAVOR FUSION Good Enough Men in Their Own Party For School Board, They Decide Following a oanvass of the Repub lican voters of the city during which it was ascertained that the rank and file is opposed to fusion on the School Beard ticket, the Republican city committee last evening declined the proposal of Democratic City Chair maii Morganthaler to enter into such an agreement. During the meeting it was brought out that no perfect fusion could be agreed upon in view of the fact that the proposed paroeltng out i of places would not take into consid- j eration the Prohibition or Socialist j parties, which always poll a consid- j ersble number of votes. It was also evident that the Republican commit teemen were considering the candl- | dtcies of A. Carson Stamm. Dr. C. E. I L. Keene and Robert A. Enders. who I yesterday announced themselves for ] the School Board. The general : opinion was that with three such inde- i pendent and representative candidates ! in the field the party had no reason to go to look elsewhere for nominees. Report of Committee The action of the committee was taken after the reading of the fol lowing report of the subcommittee ap pointed some time ago to ascertain sentiment for and against School Beard fusion: "Tour committee appointed to gel the sentiment of the voters and draw i up in accordance therewith an answer to the proposition of Mr. Morganthaler be*; leave to report. "We interviewed many good citi zens, principally of our own party, and practically all the committeemen, and with few exceptions all were opposed to the idea of fusion in the manner suggested. Many reasons were ad vanced for this opposition, some of which we embody in this report. "Under our system of government parties are necessary and party organ ization is absolutely essential to the best results for all the people. Unless the integrity of the Republican party is maintained by proper nominations, the party itself must decay and cease to be of any service to the people. Fusion means the breaking down of all party lines, and in our Judgment this would be disastrous to the Ameri can system of government. School Board Important "All good citizens will agree that the selection of candidates for the School Board is one of the most im portant matters which can engage the attention of party leaders and party organizations. Instead of a fusion ar rangement. however, it would be much better, as we view it. for all the po litical parties to present for the con sideration of the voters clean and capable candidates for the School Board so that the voters may deter mine for themselves the nominees most likely to discharge with satisfac tion to the public the important duties involved in the management of the" educational interests of Harrisburg. A wider preference would thus be pre sented to the voter and there would be opportunity for a more general ex pression of public sentiment. "The Republican party has never stood in the way of any feasible plan for civic improvement, political or otherwise, but has always been a party of progress and construction. "We respectfully recommend that the committee disapprove of the proposition advanced by Mr. Morgan thaler and that our chairman so notify him. sending him a copy of this re port." Oves Sends Reply This morning City Chairman Oves sent the following letter to Demo cratic Chairman Morganthaler. to gether with a copy of the subcommit tee's report: "As Indicated in my formal ac knowledgment of your recent letter proposing a fusion of all parties upon candidates for school director in Har risburg, the matter of final decision was left to the committee of which I am chairman at a meeting held Au gust 23, 1915. Tour proposition was not approved and the reasons there for are set forth in the report of the committee appointed for the purpose and herewith attached."

BERLIN IS SIEENF ON RUSSIAN CLAIMS Petrograd Advices Make It Appear Certain That Germans Met Severe Reverse By Associated Press London. Aug. 24, 11:49 a. m. —The latest details concerning the Riga naval battle have failed to clear up the situation. Petrograd advices make It appear certain that the Germans met with a severe reverse, although official Berlin reports remain silent concerning the Russian claims. The Russians now state that an additional cruiser must be added to those already reported sunk or put out of action. Whether the German battle cruiser attacked by a British submarine was sunk remains to be told, the official report from Petrograd having given no details beyond stating that she was torpedoed. Except for the report from the marine ministry at Paris concerning the sinking of a German patrol boat off Ostend, which is admitted by Ber lin, no official news has been received of the results of the allied bombard ment of German positions on the Bel gian coast. The Russian armies have not stop ped the Austro-German advance, a!-1 though they are compeling the central j power to fight for every step won. J Severe encounters continue before j Brest-Litovsk but the Baltic cam paign is making little progress, al though a decisive stroke there by Field Marshall Von Hindenburg has been long expected. On the western front, with the ex ception of an infantry attack which I is said to have won for the French some German trenches in the Vosges the warfare is marked by compara tively ineffectual artillery, bomb and mine combats.

Berlin Fails to Report on Operations at Riga; By Associated Press London, Aug. 24. —There is still no word from the German side regarding, the result of the operations in the > gulf of Riga. The German press ap- 1 pears to be maintaining complete si-j lence on the subject. The Russian reports refer to two] distinct affairs, one being the torpe-1 j doing of the battle cruiser Moltke or; a vessel of the Moltke type by a Brit- j ish submarine in the Baltic and the other to a German attempt to force the gulf of Riga, which, it is declared, ended disastrously for the Germans. From the information available it would appear that heavy vessels of 'neither side were engaged in the Riga operations which on the part of the Germans were in the nature of mine clearing work with a view to support ing an attempt to land troops at Per nau on the eastern short of the gulf, with the object of cutting communi cations with Petrograd. No date has been given by Petro grad for the sinking of the cruiser de scribed as the Moltke, but the naval correspondent of the Times assumes [that it was either Wednesday or I Thursday, when he says the Germans had managed to force an entrance into the gulf of Riga and when, uncertain of the defense being overcome they had moved a supporting force to that vicinity to prevent their ships inside : from being cut off.

IBUS PASS THROUGH HURRICANE Shelter More Than a Score of Per sons in Their Apartments in Gal veston During Flood Ralph E. Knouse, a former Tarris- I burger, now connected with the ! United State Department of Public ; Health, stationed at Galveston for the j last five months has written an Inter esting hut condensed account of his ! recent experiences to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ira P. Knouse. 218 North j Fifteenth street. Mr. Knouse Is a | pharmacist, and was formerly in th® | employ of C. M. Forney and Frank J. I Althouse. The letter was nearly a week com ing from the tlood city, and contains only a short list of the dangers and troubles Mr. Knouse and his wife have safely gone through. The hurricane had reached a velo city of 125 miles an hour by 4 o'clock last Tuesday morning and it had piled the gulf waters eight feet deep In the street in front of their apartments in the center of the city. The electricity was cut off first, and candles furnished the light for two sleepless nights. Just before the water supply stopped Mr. Knouse filled his bathtub, and just how long that single source of water supply had to suffice was not known when the letter was written. Fires Add io Terror Mr and Mrs. Knouse sheltered 24 people In their apartments, and all other families living in the center of the city above the street level took in numbers of homeless ones. Even halls and stairs, were crowded. Two large fires, which could not spread because of the downpour add ed to the excitement. Flying signs and branches broke many windows and spoiled the shelter of those in many buildings. Mr. Knouse and wife are both well and safe but he and all others who went through the storm marvel that there were not many more casualties. In a second letter dated Friday, August 20, Sir. Knouse writes that the soldiers and special police were then in charge of the situation and that the streets were rapidly being cleared of debris. He tells how the soldiers took charge of the town to prevent any pi ice boosting on the necessities of life. Prices were set by the com mandant in charge and any store that attempted to raise prices was taken over by the soldiers. The total number of dead from tha storm was estimated by Mr. Krouse to be about sixty. As many more were dead from shooting, he declared.
