Considerable of the shrubbery which will be used can be secured at the city nurseries and planting of the trees will come later in the autumn. Commissioner Bow man has given much personal at tention to this Improvement and has been the recipient of many congratu lations by reason of the artistic sur loundings of the pumping station. His force of employes arc quite as enthusiastic as the Commissioner him self and are co-operating with him in making the place a beauty spot for all who pass along the River Front.- City Commissioner Lynch, who is co-operating with the Chamber of Commerce committee in arranging that the public work under his charge is completed, if possible, before the big celebration has given orders that temporary electric lights shall be used at nights on the closing of the gap at Market street on the river wall. Elbridge Cowden. the engineer In charge of the work, has been pushing along with all possible speed and has had to overcome many difficulties by reason of the unprecedented stage of the water at this season of the year. Coffer dams have been used and Mr. Cowden feels now that It will be pos sible to complete the work before the celebration. Such fill as will be neces sary to close the space between the concrete stringers and the steps is being obtained from several sources. Commissioner Taylor, who is doing his utmost to have everything throughout the park system in fine shape for the celebration will in crease his force of men so as to place the slope along the River Front throughout Its entire length in pre sentable condition. Considerable damage was done to the planting dur ing the construction of the concrete work on the wall and the' steps and the heavy rains of the summer have still further aggravated the conditions, but Commissioner Taylor promises to make a personal inspection of the whole front and will fill in and grade and trim where ever necessary. In short, it is the purpose of the heads of all these departments to do their level best to make the "Front Steps of Harrisburg" as attractive as possible before the celebration. To day the employes of the Light & Power Company were busy installing the cables which will furnish current for the standard lights along the steps. It is the expectation of the company to have all this work com pleted before the celebration. Committee Chairmen Will Report on the Celebration Plans Beginning next week C.

HARRISBURG gjKKb TELEGRAPH 2 BEERS A DAY FOR I INTERNED GERMANS Harrisburg Party Learn How Sail ors on Eitei and Wilhelm Pass Their Time Mr. and Mrs. Howard C. Fry, of Paxtang, and Dr. Samuel Z. Shope. Mrs. Shope, and their son Pierce Shope, of Third street near North, have just returned from a two weeks' jaunt to Baltimore, Norfolk, Newport News. Boston and New York. The trip was notable ror several things, one of which was an inter view Dr. Shope had with Dr. Frederick Zolle, an eye specialist on the interned Prinz Eltel Friedrick, who had invited the doctor anu his party to visit the German vessel as his guests. Dr. Zolle explained to the Harris burgers that the German orticers and men, naturally enough, regret being in a position where they can no longer help their Fatherland, and that they one and all resent the offensive un neutral attitude of some of the Amer ican papers, pro-German as well as pro-ally. The Harrisburgers learned while in Norfolk thai the men by their excellent behavior, politeness and strict attention to the laws govern ing them as interned men, are winning the respect and love of everyone in that city with whom they come In contact. They pass their time in read ing, playing, exercising and listening to the music of the bands on each ship. They are great writers to the home folks and keep those near and dear to them well posted and in re turn receive bunches of letters and papers from home on every boat. Interned Men Are Kept Busy Shore leave is granted a certain number each watch lor periods of eight hours or more. But the Harris burgers noted that the men are kept quite busy drilling, keeping the boats clean, making shoes, clothes, bread, jce cream, pastry and so on. They have a piano, Yictrola, a monkey for a mascot on the jblitel. a moving picture outnt ana about everything under the sun that goes for comfort and conve nience. All the clothes to rthe men are made on the boats and the men are divided into squads such as machin ists, painters, carpenters, iron work ers,, sailors, barbers, shoemakers, deckhands, stewards and so on. The men drill daily despite the fact that they will see no more service and af ter each drill a speech Is made by the officers and its text is usually like this: "Do not get intoxicated while on shore leave. Respect American wo men, American institutions and Amer ican laws. Act so as to compel Am erican respect." Dr. Shope said this morning that the German sailors to a man insist that America does not come up to th* standards of Germany. Dr. Zolle. however, declared that he must take his hat off to American eye specialists, and inquired of Dr. S'lope after all the latest American discoveries in the science in which both are Interested. Dr. Zolle is now taking a special course on the eye at Johns Hopkins Univer sity so as to improve himself In his work during the period of Internment. "Two Boers" a Day C. J. Mains, head of the Virginia Advertising Service and an officer of the Norfolk Rotary Club, who enter tained the Harrisburgers—both Dr. Shope and Mr. Fry are active Rotarian Club members—during their stay in that city, said that, vast quantities of food tsuffs and bought by the marine purser of both the Rronprinz Wilhelm and tne Kltel from the Norfolk mer chants. The sailors are all 'hefty" eaters and they eacli drink an aver age of "two beers" a day aboard ship. They receive as pay, rorty-three pfen nig a day which is equal to about ten cents. Fry Mistaken For Governor Carey After the Harrisburgers had seen the sights of Norfolk and its environs, they went by boat to Boston where i they arrived in time to see the review I of the American fleet by the confer- 1 ence of Governors. There the party; had an amusing experience when j Howard Fry ww mistaken for Gover nor Joseph M. Carey of Wyoming. The big smiling fellow carried the joke right through the big banquet of gov ernors to which they were invited, and many a person went away from that feed with a picture of Mr. Fry's face pictured in their mind as that of the Wyoming chief executive. While in Boston the Harrisburgers visited the Old Constitution and while there Dr. Shope won the everlasting gratitude of the aged caretaker of the old dog of war by taking a foreign body out of his eye. "He promised to give me a chunk of the old vessel," laughed the doctor this morning, "but I've yet to see it." After the visit to Boston, the party returned home after a short stay in New York city. I "It's some pumpkins, this being a Rotarian," said Mr. Fry this morning. 1 ' The Rotary lads dined us and royal j ly entertained us wherever we went." jSnoddy and Aungst Favor Penbrook Road Improvement Two of the three men who request ed that their names be withdrawn from the paving petition in Penbrook have signed a request to permit their names to remain with those who favor the paving of Main street. S. G. Snoddy and George M. Aungst also re quest that this be published so they will not be misunderstood as being op posed to the proposed improvement. Messrs.
