In Statement German Ambassador
Resents Charges Made
Against Him
DID NOT BELIEVE HIMSELF
Declares Repetition of Statement
He Made in Washington
Is Necessary
By .Associated Press
New York, Sept. 11. Count Von
Bernstorff, the German ambassador,
emphatically denied to-day that he
had used or attempted to use James
F. J. Archibald, the American mes
senger of Dr. Constantin T. Dumba,
Austrian ambassador as a message
bearer to Berlin.
"In view of the repeated assertions
by several newspapers that 1 sent
messages to my government by Mr.
Archibald" said Count Von Bernstorff,
"I wish to state that I never gave Mr.
Archibald a single paper or anything
else. I thought I made this plain in
Washington, but feel repetition is now
needed.
"I did not attempt to use Mr. Archi
bald as a messenger because I did not
think it safe, and he certainly did not
prove safe."
Dr. Constantin T. Dumba, Austro-
Hungarian ambassador, left here to
day for his summer home at Lennox,
Mass.
Dr. Dumba was accompanied by his
secretary. Prince Zu Hohenlohe, who
waived aside newspapermen when
they attempted to interview the am
bassador.
Dr. Dumba spent several hours with
Count Von Bernstorff. the German
ambassador last night. At the con
clusion of this meeting both diplomats
declined to say anything regarding
President Wilson's action.

WOHED F1 BUILDER
HTECT FDD BID
KEYSTONE PRDJEET
Ernest R. Graham, of Graham,
Burnham & Co., Chicago, Is
in Charge
Ernest R. Graham, senior partner
of Graham, Burnham & Co., of Chi
cago, has undertaken the work of
preparing the plans and specifications
for all the buildings of the Keystone
State Fair and Exposition Company
on the site near Mlddletown as well
as the 2 -mile speedway for auto
mobiles.
Mr. Graham Is a man of world
wide reputation. Of him the magazine
Building Management, in a recent is
sue, said: "The name of E. K. Gra
ham, senior partner of Graham, Burn
ham & Co.. Chicago, as a speaker at
Atlanta is enough to bring every man
interested in skyscrapers to the con
vention. for his name for the past
twenty years has been a household
word in big buildings. The wonderful
organization of which he is the head
has built more big buildings than any
other firm of architects in the world.
The designer of the Equitable Build
ing, as almost everyone knows, is E.
R. Graham. Hardly a city in the en
tire United States does not boast of
one or more buildings built by the
Grahain-Burnham organization."
Ernest Robert Graham was born
at Lowell, Mich., August 22, 1868.
When the World's Fair was ready for
actual building operations D. H. Burn

enterprise as director of works,

The former President delivered two

Washington. D. C.. Sept. 11. The
note delivered to Ambassador Gerard
by the German Foreign Offlc, yester
day. which was believed to be a sup

be a note on the unsuccessful attempt
to torpedo the Cunarder Orduna, sev
eral weeks ago.
The note had not been received In
Washington early to-day and the State
Department had no information of its
whereabouts. In circles close to the
German Embassy, however, it was said
the note concerned the Orduna and
that when Its contents were known, it
probably wouifl be found that the Ger

justification for the attack on the liner.

HARRISBURG'S RIVER FRONT
PLAZA IS A BEAUTY SPOT
Commissioner Harry Bowman Pro vides For Comfort and Pleasure of
All the People—Trees and Flowers
Of all the attractive places about the
city and its picturesque environs, none
is going to be quite so artistic and in
viting as the spacious plaza at the
city's pumping station, foot of North
street. City Commissioner Bowman,
with the approval of his colleagues in
Council, has created a place which
will make every Harrisburger still
prouder of "the old home town." It
is a fine bit of constructive work, com
bining utility and beauty, inasmuch as
the high, panelled reinforced concrete
retaining wall, which rises from the
top of the "Front Steps of Harris
burg," protects the slope from the
encroachment of the river at high
stages and constitutes a retaining wall
for the wide open area of lawn and
shrubbery between the pumping sta
tion and the edge of the embank
ment.
BIG TURNOUT FOR
LIST REGISTRATION
Republicans Especially Numerous;
Register Today or Lose
Your Vote
Harrisburg voters early gave signs
of turning out in force to be registered
for the primary and general election
to-day. This is the last day to enter
names on the lists and the number
registered up to noon in the various
precincts was heavier than on the
last day in the gubernatorial cam
paign.
The last opportunity to register will
be from 7 to 10 p. m. to-night at the
polling places.
It will be difficult for any voter who
fails to register to-day to get on the
list. Only affidavits of absence from
the city or illness will be accepted.
The registrars will be required to
make their returns to the County
Commissioners on Monday.
Two to One
Many of the men active in registra
tion work declared to-day that to
night would have a very heavy regis
tration and that the usual eleventh
hour rush would be surpassed. Some
of the Republican workers said that
they were surprised at the Republi
can registration and were predicting
that the day's registration would be
about two to one in favor of the Re
publicans. It is believed by some men
who have been following events that
the registration in the city wculd
show the same proportion of Repub
licans as the enrollment in the county
which was a heart-breaker for the
Democrats and kickers.
Nonpartisan registration in the city
does not seem to be a popular thing
to-day and many of the voters who
registered that way last Fall were
frankly putting down their names as
Republicans.
It seems that the "back to the
party" movement is under way
stronger than ever and that there will
be mighty small comfort for the
Democratic bosses when the adding
machines in the County Commission
ers - office finish their work. Repub
lican workers "kidded" the Demo
crats most of the day about the
apathy in the party and occasionally
offered rewards for Washington party
registrations just to keep the Demo
crats from becoming too gloomy.

By Associated Press
London, Sept. 11.—Sir Claude Mac-

Japan, died here yesterday at the age
of 63 years.
Commissioner Bowman is being uni
versally commended by the people for
the keen interest and foresight that
led him to redeem this fine frontage
for the pleasure and enjoyment of all
the people.
This improvement has been under
way for several weeks, but is as yet
incomplete and not quite ready for
public use. Like the Charles River
basin at Riverside, Mass., the Harris
burg plaza will furnish an ideal place
for band concerts, the concrete roof
of the old pumping station, with Its
entrance between the Civic Club's
headquarters and the pumping station
from Front street at North, providing'
without one cent of expense a na
tural balcony with strong iron rail
