GERMAN PLOTS HERE
PROVED, SAYS LONDON
Archibald, American Writer, Car
ried Dispatches to That
Effect, Is Report
London, Sept. 3.—The New York
Bun's correspondent has every reason
for stating that the documents taken
from James F. J. Archibald, the Am
erican magazine and newspaper writer
who was arrested here yesterday while
on his way to Germany, are of the
highest Importance, containing incon
trovertible proof of the complicity of
certain German Embassy officials in
Washington in fomenting and organ
izing strikes and other unneutral acta
In the United States.
One document In particular may be
described as nothing less than an offi
cial report to a certain department of
the German Government on these
topics, detailing the progress made
and the effect obtained.
While not in a position to give* the
text of the document, The Sun's cor
respondent has good grounds to pre
dict that in view of its importance to
the United States its contents will be
communicated to Washington.
In view of these revelations the
courtesy with which Archibald was
treated, he being subsequently released
and hurried from Falmouth across the
country to Ramsgate in order that he
might rejoin the liner Rotterdam off
the Downs, where she is lying tem
porarily, is the best indication of the
attitude of the British authorities to
ward Americans.
Archibald's plea that he was acting
innocently not only is not believed hut
is discredited by the documents found
on him. He asserted that he was sim
ply carrying letters of introduction to
various high German officials and was
unaware that there were any "contra
band messages" among them.
When Archibald was first question
ed in Falmouth he absolutely denied
carrying anything, but he made no
Impression on the officers and he fin
ally gave up one letter from the Aus
trian Ambassador to the United States,
Mr. Dumba, in which the latter re
quested him to deliver documents en
closed at the Austrian Legation at
The Hague, and if that was inconven
ient to the Austrian Embassy at Ber
lin.
One letter from Capt. von Papen.
the military attache of the German
Embassy in Washington, thanked
Archibald for the offer to carry some
documents and wished him safe voy
age and success. Archibald's record
has been known to the authorities
here for some time. His recent visit
to Germany and the articles which he
wrote are remembered on account of
their virulent anti-British tenor.
The success which attended the ef
fort of the authorities in catching
Archibald just ns he was about to sail
for Germany is merely one of many
which have not been made public.
The care which is now taken by all
persons entering England is illustrated
by the case of the Sun's correspondent,
who was asked to declare on his word
of honor that he had no documents
for the enemy.
There is extreme likelihood that
Archibald will be relieved of his Am
erican passport to Holland. The au
thorities here are wondering what
reception he will receive in Berlin
when he arrives minus the documents.
DATO HAS NO RKPJ/V
Paris, Sept. 3, 2.20 P. M.—Premier
Dato. of Spain, stated to-day that his
government had received no reply
from Germany to its protest against
the sinking of the Spanish steamer
Isidore by a submarine except the
statement that Germany still lacks in
formation concerning the incident.

FRIDAY EVENING,
NEW STATE LAW TO
PROTECT PUBLIC
Commissioner Dixon Inaugurates
Medical Inspection of Hotel
and Restaurant Workers
I State-wide enforcement of the act
to protect, the patrons of hotels, res
taurants, and eating houses, which
I was passed by the last Legislature,
was begun to-day by Dr. Samuel G.
Dixon, Commissioner of Health. All
of the local boards of heajth In the
boroughs and cities have received a
communication from Dr. Dixon en
closing copies of this act and calling
upon them to instruct their health
officers to make a regular inspection at
intervals of at least once a month to
secure the strict observance of the
provisions.
The latv prohibits the employment
of any individual in the capacity of
cook, waiter, chambermaid, kitchen
help or other house servant suffering
from trachoma, active tuberculosis of
the lungs, open skin tuberculosis,
syphilis, gonorrhea, open external can
cer, or barber's Itch, it requires that
the proprietors of all hotels, restaur
ants, dining cars or public eating
places, shall institute, and maintain a
medical inspection of employes of this
class at intervals of at least twice a
year, for the purpose of excluding from
their employment persons found to
be suffering from any of these dis
eases. The law provides that between
the times of these regular inspections.
If notice Is served on the owner or
manager of any such place by physi
cians or by the health authorities that
an employe is suffering from any of
these diseases, they shall be promptly
excluded from employment in the ca
pacity mentioned.
The law also requires the proper
cleansing of all dishes and eating and
drinking utensils. It prohibits the use
of public towels and common drinking
vessels.
Under the provisions of the law, the
person, firm or corporation violating
any of the provisions of the act, upon
conviction in a summary proceeding
before any justice of the peace or al
derman, if found guilty, is subject to a
fine of not less than five dollars or
more than one hundred dollars, or im
prisonment in the county jail for not
more than thirty days, or both, at the
discretion of the court.
When interviewed regarding this
subject. Dr. Dixon said: "Tl.is ad
mirable act of assembly gives the lo
cal health authorities and the travel
ing public an efficient means of pro
tecting themselves against serious in
fections. which in the past have un
fortunately been too common. While
railroads and the better class of hotels
have instituted an inspection service
for the protection of the public, there
has on the whole been a general dis
regard of the possibilities of wide
spread infection from the diseases
mentioned in this act owing to the
carelessness of employes and em
ployers. The traveler and restaurant
patron, who of necessity support the
eating places and hotels, have a right
to be protected.
The penalty clause attached to this
act makes it readily enforceable by the
local authorities and we feel confident
that it will result in a wide-spread im
provement of conditions in hotels and
restaurants.'
Granolithic Sidewalk
Adds to the Beauty
of North Front St.
The granolithic sidewalk along the
entire eastern side of Front street
from Harris to Division street has
been completed with the exception of
one stretch of about one hundred feet
south of Emerald street and two short
stretches immediately south of Divi
sion street. It is expected that the
Gross estate and one or two other own
ers of the properties not yet paved
will complete the sidewalk improve
ment before the municipal celebra
tion.
This sidewalk not only adds greatly
to the general appearance of the River
Front, but also remedies the conditions
which were formerly serious owing to
the fact that pedestrians were com
pelled to use the asphalt roadway and
many narrow escapes from accidents
were recorded.

INVESTIGATION AT
GRADE CROSSINGS
Public Service Commissioners Will
Hear About Fatalities; Big
Inspection to Start
Orders were Issued to-day by Chair
main Ainey, of the Public Service
Commission, for Investigations and re
ports on the grade crossing fatalities
in Mlddletown and Hummelstown. The
chairman will have the reports sub
mitted to the commission when It
meets Tuesday.
Chairman Ainey and Secretary
Miller of the Public Service Commis
sion will leave here to-night on a trip
of inspection of the grade crossing
situation in South Philadelphia, Eddy

pending for approval of grade cross
ings in Eddvstone and Chester and
the Inspection will cover the whole in

ple interested will be held in Phila
delphia for discussion of ways ana
means to provide for gradual elimina
tion of existing grade crossings and i
of establishment of those needed for
future industries in such manner that
the puhlic will be protected.
Conferences were held yesterday

Title to Fleming
House Not Yet Held
by City Civic Club
Pending a decision from the Dau
phin county court as to the ownership
of the new Civic Club's headquarters
in the Fleming house In North Front
stret, adjoining the pumping station,
it will not be possible for the energetic
organization of Harrisburg women to
proceed with their plans for the oc
cupancy of the handsome house with
the Italian garden.
Trouble over the title came when
the banking institution in New York
city which is acting as custodian of
the late Mrs. W. R. Fleming's estate,
declined to pass title to the Civic Club
notwithstanding her bequest to the
Civic Club because of the fact that it
was not an incorporated association.
Since the question was raised how
ever, the Civic Club has taken out a
charter.
Recently some heirs of the residu
ary estate of Mrs. Fleming have be
come interested in the contest and are
hopeful that they may yet become
owners of the fine Harrisburg resi
dence which the Civic Club hopes fin
ally to occupy. It is probable that the
Supreme Court will eventually have
to determine the whole matter inas
much as banking institutions hesitate
to pay out funds to unincorporated
bodies. President Judge Kunkel has
the case under consideration and will
probably hand down a decision on his
return from Port Deposit where he
is spending the summer with his fam
ily.
As a result of the difficulties of the
Civic Club through its failure to take
out a charter the Wednesday Club,
another well-known organization, has
recently asked for a charter.
XO TRUTH IX REPORT STEIXER
IS IX3 GET OUT OF RACE
"There is absolutely no truth in it,"
said Charles C. Steiner when asked to
day concerning the report that he had
withdrawn from the race for city
commissioner. "I am in the race to
the end and from all the Information
I can gather I am going to be one of
the nominees," he continued.
"I shall hold myself free from per
sonal attack on any man who may be
interested in my defeat," said Robert
A. Enders, president of the West End
bank and former president of the
West End Improvement Association,
when asked to-day concerning the un
called for attacks of Democratic bosses
on Republicans who would not be led
into the so-called nonpartisan trap.
Mr. Enders has long been known as
a Republican of independent tenden
cies. So much so that he was sought
by the Democratic city chairman as a
fusion candidate for school director,
which he declined because he had al
ready accepted proffers of supports
from fellow Republicans.
Said Mr. Enders: "If my friends
should repose enough confidence in me
to elect me to the office of school di
rector, I would feel highly honored.
In return, I would try, to the best of
my ability, to give fair and honest ser
vice.
"Personally I am under obligations
to no one, only to the citizens, such
as becomes any fair-mtnded man.
"I shall hold myself free from per
sonal attack on any man who may be
interested in my defeat. I believe
the practice of trying to ride into of
fice by defaming the character or abil
ity of another is out of harmony with
all good thinking people. I want to
be elected or defeated on my own fit
ness or unfitness. The merit or wis
dom of my candidacy is now in the
hands of the electors and it must stand
or fall as they in their better judg
ment decree:"

NEW SHOW AT MAJESTIC
There's lovers of good music in every
town, there's probably more than the
average in Harrlsburg, and that's likely
the reason why the Wharry Lewis Four
are scoring the hit they are at the Ma
jestic these days. The quartet com
prises three pretty girls, one of them
a vocalist, one of them a virtuoso of the
'cello, and the other of the piano. The
fourth member of the little company is
Wharry Lewis, a violinist, who plays
this instrument with remarkable feeling
and technique. The act is well describ
ed on the program as being a "miniature
concert." In the twenty minutes it is
given It calls in a very interesting ar
rangement of classical airs, sprinkled
with a few popular songs to please
music lovers of the more modern type.
The act of the Wharry Lewis Four is
a musical treat and Is also a pleasing
sight act because of its artistic staging
and elaborate costuming. Of almost
equal popularity Is the rich comedy act
of Cantor and Lee, who Harrlsburg lias
smiled with on several occasions at the
Orpheum. Some more genuine laugh
ter is provoked by Cummins and Se
ham. celebrated eccentrics; Walter
Brower presents a novel comedy mono

cap dancers, complete the offering. New

At Rate He Is Going, Little 104 Mile Jaunt Will Be Nothing at All,
at All! Says Eat Less and Walk More
Dr. John H. Fager's annual birth

cess. Dr. Fager reached his home,
123 4 North Sixth street, last night af
ter a 61-mile tramp with the belief
that he could go another ten miles
and not feel any the worse for it.
He gave an interesting account of his
trip to many friends who were await
ing the arrival of Frank Weston's
rival.
Dr. Fager was accompanied as far
as Paxtang by Albert Goho, Sydney
Friedman and Fred Murray. Sydney
Friedman met Dr. Fager at Hummels
town and paced him home. Follow

gratulations of many friends. Dr.
Fager prepared the following article
on his hike for the exclusive use of
the Telegraph:
BY PR. JOHN H. FAGER
"At the age of seventy years Ralph
Waldo Emerson wrote a poem en
titled 'Terminus,' part of which is:
"It is time to be old,
To take in sail,
The god of bounds
Who sets the seas a shore,
Came to me in his fatal rounds,
And said, "No More." '
"Every year when preparing for my
birthday walk the protests of my
friends become more urgent, that I
should give up the custom. Their ar
guments run something like this:
'When a man reaches 60 years its
time for him to settle down and be
come a respectable old gentleman. He
should be careful of any exertion on
account of the failing heart and ar
teries. He should avoid draughts and
protect his feet from dampness. Age
is the time to use the rocking chair
and gradually rust out.
"Unfortunately nothing is said
about eating so this aged man gener
ally eats so much and does so little
In work and exercise, that he quickly
accumulates layers of fat, which is
disease, not only around his equator,
but also around his heart and other
organs. These men you see following
their stomachs around pointing their

"My cherished idea was well ex
pressed by a salesman who upon hear
ing my plan of birthday walking, ex
claimed: •
" 'Gee, that's great. When he's 104
years old he can walk to
in a day.'
"If aging men would know the buoy
ancy that comes with the careful
training that precedes a long walk,
many of them would gladly undertake
it.
"I think the possession of a bread
and butter appetite, the ability to run,
.lump, dance, sleeping without coax
ing, to be glad he is living, having en
thusiasm for everything, these things
pay one for hard work and denial. In
order to enjoy long walks you must
take gradually increasing walks, care
fully caring for your feet, watching
your eating and many more points.
But shouldn't one listen to his croak
ing friends? Certainly he should, so
often detahr doletoltonton tontonn
after due consideration I have decid
ed to abandon these long walks—until
the next time."
To Acquire Curly
Hair Over Night
(The Beauty Seeker.)
There's good news, indeed, in the an
nouncement that so simple a method
as applying plain liquid silmertne to
the hair will make it beautifully curly
and wavy over night. The hair dries
In lovely waves and ringlets that are
perfectly natural in appearance, and
there is nothing sticky, greasy or un
pleasant about it. The liquid, which is
of course quite harmless, also serves as
a splendid dressing for the hair, keep
ing it delightfully glossy and supple.
If one will procure a few ounces of
liquid silmerine from the druggist, she
will have enough to keep the hair in
curl for weeks. It should be applied at
night with a clean tooth brush. In the
morning the hair will be very prettily
waved, without having that burnt, life
less look acquired by using a heated
Iron.—Advertisement.
