Commissioners Trying
to Beautify "Front Steps"
For Great Celebration
City Commissioner Bowman to-day
gave instructions to the BerryhtU
Nursery Company to proceed at once
with the planting on the plaza at the
Fi.mping«station. 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. Floyd Hop
kins, general manager of the great
municipal improvement celebration,
will get in personal touch with all
committee chairmen In charge of the
various activities to see Just what
progress each is making. It is possible
that another general round-up ses
sion of the celebration workers will be
held some time next week.
Circular letters were mailed by
Chairman A. E. Buchanan, of the
Merchants' committee to-day. Each
merchant is given an outline of the
program for Thursday and Friday
rights. Information Is also given re
garding the window display and dol
lar day features. Attention Is also

Street fighting in San Juan Bautista,
the capital of the State, and in Fron

the killing of General Colorado, the
Carranza governor, the chief of police
and the Secretary of State.
Many women and children were
killed In the street. The Carranza
officials remaining seized a boat at
Frontera and escaped to Vera Cruz.
According to reports, Tobasco is
making an effort to join the State of
Oaxaca In maintaining independence
of General Carranza. Oaxaca revolted

ognize General Carranza.
Americans arriving overland from
Oaxaca say that thousands of natives
are starving or have died as the result
of eating poisonous roots.

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. Snoddy and Aungst are mem
bers of the school board and active in
affairs that pertain to the welfare of
the borough, and among the most en
thusiastic of the property owners along
Main street who wish the best method
of improvement made with the least
possible delay. Having received the
councilmen's viewpoint and consulted
with other property owners along Main
street, they express themselves as per
fectly willing to abide by the wishes
of the mjority. The following is a
duplicate of their statement to be pre
sented to the council this evening:
Penbrook, Pa., Sept. 6, 1915.
To the President and Members of
Penbrook Borough Council:
We, the undersigned, do not wish
to he understood as opposing any
public improvement ill the bor
ough of Penbrook that meets with
the approval of a majority of the
property owners and the borough
officials. Therefore, to avoid pos
sible complications that may per
manently defeat the Improvement
which we all hope to attain even
though our method of accomplish
ing jt may differ, we respectfully
ask that our names »be withdrawn
from the petition o£ protest pre
sented to the council Friday even
ing, September 3, and allow our
names to remain on the original
petition favoring the paving of
• Main street with such material as
the property owners with the
greatest frontage on street may
specify, and by whatever method
the council deems most practical
after having been advised by com
petent engineers on road construc
tion.
8. O. SNODDY,
GEORGE M. AUNGST.
The committee was unable to get in
touch with VV. H. Wolf yesterday, but]
It is understood that he withheld his
approval for the present but directed a
letter to the council In which he will
state his position this evening. Mr.
Wolf is reported as favoring the re
tention of the original Telford foun
dation, which the councilmen say does
not meet with the State engineers' ap
proval.

DON'T KISS, JI'ST "PAT-TAT" W
Tap Her Lightly on the Cheek, You
Might Spread Disease.
Special to The Telegraph
Huntington, W. Va., Sept. 7.—Dr.
E.W. Grover, president of the Board
of Health here, has announced that
the ancient custom of kissing must
stop, because, he says, it spreads tu
berculosis and other diseases.
Dr. Grover advocates the "pat pat"
as a substitute. This method of greet
ing was originated in the Republic of
Dominica, where a campaign against
the kiss was waged with disastrous
results to Cupid.
To apply the "pat pat," the doctor
explains, a couple osculatorily Inclined
should approach each other within
handshaking distance, pat each other
lightly on the cheek and smile. Dr.
Grover says there Is too much kissing.
