Installation of Filters Going Ahead
at a Number of the State's
Indutrial Plants
The Warren Chemical Products
Company, located at Russellburg,
Warren county, on the Conewango
creek, has installed one of the gravity
filters which the Pennsylvania De
partment of Fisheries is having In
stalled at the various manufacturing
establishments throughout the State.
This chemical company manufactures
. gun-cotton and is one of the largest
chemical companies in the western
• part of the State. There is much sul
phuric acid in the products of this
company, which if it gets into the
stream will destroy fish for many
miles. The system was installed about
three months ago an«T is open to any
one for inspection at any time.
This is a step forward in the efforts
of the Department of Fisheries to have
the pollution of the streams abated.
The Department has on file letters
from scores of manufacturing estab
lishments requesting copies of blue
prints of the gravity filter and as soon
as the blueprints are received, which
the Department expects will be within
the next two weeks, the wardens will
take up this matter of pollution, fur
nishing blueprints to all the manu
facturing establishments and have
them installed.
Many manufacturing concerns in
other States have written the Depart
ment requesting data and blueprints
of this filter, which will be furnished
when the proper time arrives.

"DADDY LONG LEGS" |
A CHARMING PLAY
Notable Cast With Renee Kelly
Presents Jean Webster's Story
in Excellent Manner
I If a clean, wholesome show pre
sented by a company that Is splendld
| ly well rounded, artistic and capable,
I has any attraction for this city; it is
'.safe to assert that the Orpheum will
| have two crowded houses to-day at
'the matinee and evening performances
! of "Daddy Long Legs,' a comedy from
I the story by Jean Webster. For
"Daddy Long Legs" is a play, the pur
| pose of which does not cease with en
j tertainment, but promotes as well a
i touch of sympathy for the unfortun
lates whom we all know,
j The play came first to the public as
a story, but was later dramatized by
, Henry Miller, and presented last year
; with Ruth Chatterton as Judy Abbott,
j the role carried in this company by
Renee Kelly, a most charming and
mischlevlous "Judy." Of course, the
play revolves around "Judy" who for
eighteen years has spent all of her
time in an orphan asylum, where life
to her was solid drudgery. She had
dreams of being as other girls, and one
day all of her dreams were realized
for an unknown benefactor promised
to send her to college. This benefac
tor was her "Daddy Long Legs" who
jin the play is Jervis Pendleton, who,
I on many occasions Judy saw and after
a while loved. Jervis loved her too,
and thereon, with the spice of com
plicated indentlties hangs the story of
the play.
The play was most admirably pre
sented by a company that was in every
way a capable one. One could not
wish for more in the acting of Miss
Kelly as "Judy," and Mr. Beasly as
Jervis Pendleton. Indeed it is unfair
to stop there in citing characters, for
every one of the company in their
respective roles was excellent. And
the play is so fresh and wholesome
that it is virtually a great privilege to
be able to attend its performances.
But one thing can be said against It
and that is the harsh tune given in
several instances by the use of the
name of the Diety at times when em
phasis for a line or two is sought.

Of the fetching song and dance skits
that elicited praise from Orpheum
goers, was the splendid act called "The

capable and pleasing players, Harry I
Richards and Bessie Kyle. That they
are to appear on the Majestic pro

will probably sound the most welcome
note that vaudeville devotees in Har- I
risburg have heard this season.
Miss Kyle is a stunning young wo
man, posessing a pleasing personality
and an exquisite voice. Her partner

THE GREAT RUBY AT COLONIAL
MONDAY AND TUESDAY
Adventure of the sort that makes
the blood leap, mystery that keeps
one guessing and romance that holds
interest Is to be seen in Lubin's big
five part feature photodrama, "The
Great Ruby" which is the feature
photoplay at the ever popular Colonial
Monday and Tuesday of the coming
week. How the thieves steal It from
a crown head, make their escape good
and how they are chased by the great
est decteives, furnsh many a thrill
and a chill that holds the audience in
j a grip of excitement from beginning
to end.
George Soifle Spencer and Octavia
Handworth appear in the leads while
a big- cast of one hundred are seen in
strong supporting parts. Wednesday j

feature of an unusually fine program.
Friday and Saturday the feature will

drama, "The Man Trail," a story of
the rugged north woods dealing with
the hardy people of the great Canadian
Northwest. In this feature, the favor- !

Further comments by men In the
public eye with reference to the mu
nicipal improvements and the big cele
bration commemorative of those im
provements will be of Interest to all
those who have a strong pride in their
city and Its record of achievement-
George F. Ross, who was secretary
of the general committee on improve
ments in 1901-2, reviews the last dec
ade and a half as follows:
"When I look back over the past
thirteen years and realize the great
■ stride this city has made in the way
• of public improvements, the con
. summation of which is to be cele
, brated in the near future, I rejoice
. that I had an humble part in the
initial campaign to better municipal
i conditions, the campaign of 1902,
■ when the million-dollar loan was
• ratified so handsomely by the voters
( of this city,
"Those of us who are old enough to
[ recall those "good old days' when we
. had muddy streets in wet weather and
• dusty ones in dry; when Paxton creek
■ was an open sewer, with its attendant
, odors; when the water we drank,
I after a flood, was pumped directly
i from the river into the reservoir and
was almost the consistency of mo
i lasses and a few shades lighter in
. color than ink; when the sewers along
, the River Front were a serious menace
to the health of the city, and when
the River Bank was a common dump
ing ground for all the discarded Junk
after the Spring and Fall houseclean
ings, find it quite difficult to believe
that no much could be accomplished
in so short a period as thirteen years.
Therefore. X think that every citizen
of Harrisburg is Justified In feeling
proud that so much has been done
and the manner In which it has been
done, for those upon whom the re
sponsibility devolved of directing the
work and of expending such large
sums of money performed their labors
, so faithfully and honestly that there
, never has been room for the faintest
suspicion of graft. To those gentle
men I take off my hat, and to the city
that may Justly lay claim to the title
'City Beautiful' 1 say Hail! and all
Hail!"
O. P. Beekley, who Is head of the
Eerryhill Nursery Company and a man
of authority on all matters pertaining
to "the city beautiful," in an enthusi
astic communication says;
" 'Yes, all these fine public improve
ments in Harrisburg have been going
on so steadily and beautifully that
even we who have worked on them
can scarcely realize what a lot of
things have happened and how the
city has developed.' This was the
voluntary and enthusiastic expression
of one of the workmen who has been
on the job almost since the beginning
of the work in 1901. I believe it could
a« truly bo the • expression of a very
large percentage of our good citizens.
"And even we who have been most
interested and observing need an occa
sional jolt to realize what has de
veloped under our very eyes. A few
weeks ago I walked the length of the
promenade fronting the city of Bos
ton along the Charles river! Why, I

Castle, was the most widely read book

Daughter of one of the stars of the
Parisian Demimonde, the heroine of
"The Secret Orchard" carries from
birth a hidden taint of character.
From a convent in which her mother,
who had died, placed her as a child
to escape the environment of her par
ent, the girl steps into the world
ignorant of her hidden weakness. In

Duke, had promised a home to a
motherless girl. When the ward of

Duchess but when the young woman

Murder Suspects Deny
Killing Allentown Youth
Special to The Telegraph
i Allentown, Pa., Sept. 11. Mrs.
Lefanus Lichtenwalner was the princi
, pal witness at the hearing yesterday
, of Frank and John Mack, who con
, fessed to robbing the body of her son,
. L. Harold Lichtenwalner, who was
found dead In a quarry in the western
end of the city three weeks ago.
They denied killing the youth, and
• Frank Mack said, when asked if he
had stolen young: Llchtenwalner's
watch, "Well, T took it, and that is all
there is to it." The other brother
[ owned up that he dealt with the pawn
brokers. Their excuses for robbing
• the body and selling the loot for only
sll was that they did not know of
. the SSO reward
Complications were added to the
mystery when the mother asked what
had become of the boy's diamond pin
and his cash. The Macks stoutly de
nied they had stolen either the pin or
the money. They were remanded to
i jail.
A woman who was formerly a do
mestic in the Lichtenwalner household
has informed the officers that she saw
the youth in Allentown at 5 o'clock
on the day the Macks say they found
his body in the quarry and robbed it.

Rough grading on the extension of

1 I ninety-second birthday anniversary at
his home in East Simpson street, re
i celving callers and congratulations.
same kind of a river walk we have in
Harrisburg—only our Susquehanna
river walk is infinitely more pic
turesque and a great deal more of It.
"On a recent New England motor
trip we passed through five capital
cities, all older and bigger than Har
risburg, but not one of them with as
good streets generally, none with
more picturesque parks, no better
drinking water, and none with so few
unsightly billboards, back alleys,
dumps, etc.
"I trust as we woke up in 1901 to
what we needed in Harrisburg we will
now wake up to what we have In Har
risburg and shout and boost for the
best old town In the Union as never
before."
Edward Bailey, the banker, said to
day:
"In justly congratulating ourselves
on the great advances made by Har
risburg In the last fourteen years we
must not forget that much remains to
be done to achieve our goal. We must
also remember that changes or re->
forms, to be permanent, must be sup
ported by a practically unanimous
public opinion. Care, too. Is necessary
that our taxes be not out of propor
tion to those of towns of comparative
size."
David Kaufman, owner of the big
new Kaufman store, says:
"It is a constant source of pleasure
to me to be an integral part of a pro
gressive community such as this city
has'grown to be. The spirit of activity
and push that has characterized Its
development during the last fourteen
years is well worthy of emulation
among cities all over the country.
Everybody and everything Is benefited
by the movement for municipal im
provement which has been in progress
since 1901 and which will be cele
brated in the big celebration the end
of this month."
J. W. Bowman, of Bowman & Co.,
member of the Board of Public Works,
believes that the keynote of Harris
burg's prosperity is contentments Mr.
Bowman writes:
"Results of fourteen years of earnest
endeavor appear at almost every
glance throughout the city and I be
lieve that conditions realized by those
improvements far exceed in true worth
the dreams of those who have labored
persistently and strenuously for the
fulfilment.
"As an industrial town Harrisburg
has remained practically free of labor
troubles, which can justly be accred
ited to its splendid natural surround
ings providing a diversity of means
for healthful recreation, wherebv the
old adage that 'Satan finds mischief
for idle hands to do' has not proven
applicable. A contentment of mind is
the prevailing result.
"The money expended on improving
these nalural advantages has enhanced
their value beyond measure, both In
beauty and employment, and I am
sure will be the means of attracting
more and more individuals and fami
lies to this city as years pass by.
"The coming celebration will not
only give unusual publicity, but will
serve as an inspiration for the further -
ment of local improvements."

Candidate For District Attorney
In 1911, the Logical Candidate For District Attorney This Year, 1915
For Republican Nomination
mmWas he not counted out four years ago
Bby failure to count double-crossed (and
therefore emphatic) votes for himself?
Did he not carry the People's contest into
Court? What became of those ballots?
As it was he lacked less than 70. Yes, he
paid more than SI2OO. Court costs in an
effort to have every vote cast for him
counted. He was determined that no
voter's ballot should be ignored and
thrown out; that no voter should be dis
franchised. He succeeded in showing
that more than 70 votes emphatically
marked for him had not been counted,
and notwithstanding but rather because
of that success he was compelled to pay
more than SI2OO. Court costs (S4OO his
own, voluntarily, and SBOO of M. E.
Stroup's, when compelled, Dec. 1914, by
order of Court only). He was deprived
of the office because 65 more such votes
were not found in the dilapidated and
broken ballot boxes. He now carries
this case to the People and asks for a
verdict of the People in his favor. Vote
