Balkan Situation Is Proving Troublesome to Great Britain and Her HARRISBURG dSKh TELEGRAPH LXXXIV— No. 241 TO FORM FOREST FIRE PATROL AT TUESDAY MEETING Big Timber Owners and Roy Scouts to Co-operate For Protection EXPECT STATE TO HELP City Forester Mueller Will Confer With Troops Next Monday Initial steps toward organizing the first forest fire patrol in Central Pennsylvania will be taken next Tues day evening in the offices of the city park department when City Forester Harry J. Mueller meets with the big Umber land owners of this section and representatives of the Boy Scouts. The proposed fire patrol •will be unique among organizations of its kind in that the after-school hours efforts of the Boy acouts will be devoted to patrol and actual tire fight ing work. Forester Mueller will confer with the various Boy Scout troops on Mon day when he will ask their co-opera tion. The proposed patrol will be formed along the lines suggested by the Are fighting bureau of the State Forestry Department and if the new assocla :ion can be launched, State aid will be obtainable on a fifty-fifty basis. The plan in brief is this: Owners of 100 acres or less of timber land in 'his vicinity will be required to pay 81.00 per year to keep up the organ zation, provide for patroling, etc.; jwners of more than a hundred acres ivill pay at the rate of a cent per acre. In addition to paying in their dues the limber owners and farmers living with n the timber zones will agree to co operate instantly and heartily to emergency calls and to maintain the patrol systems. The State will con tribute a sum similar to the amount that Is provided by the members of the forest Are protective association. The State pays for the work of fight ing fires. Forester Mueller's plan to interest the Bov Scouts has been followed suc cessfully in other cities of the country and he believes he can easily obtain the help of Harrisburg's Scouts. Each Scout will agree to devote a certain portion of bis after-school hours to patrol work and when fires actually require his services lie will be paid a certain sum per hour. 50 Tons of German Coal Tar Dyes Reach New York By Associated Press New York.

M'CALEB Big Republican Victory in Fall Proper Groundwork For 1916 CANDIDATES' RECEPTION Booster Meeting Held by West End Republican Club The West End Republican Club en tertained with a reception and lunch in honor of the Republican candidates to be voted for in November at the North Third street clubhouse last evening and heard a number of inter esting addresses, all of which were most optimistic from the standpoint of Republicanism. While the affair was purely a club function, the doors were open to all who cared to attend, and a large number of nonmembers were present. Harry Douglas, president of the club, w.as in the chair and introduced the following county candidates: Charles C. Cumbler and Dr. Henry M. Stine, candidates for county commis sioner; James K. Eentz, for recorder; William H. Houser, for register; Michael E. Stroup, for district attor ney; H. W r . Goujvh, for county con troller; Mark Mumina, for county treasurer: !•'. B. Snavely, of Hershey, and Fernando Eaudermilch, of Hali fax. for poor director. Several of the nonpartisan candi dates who are members of the club were also present. Mr. MrCaleh Speaks The first speaktr of the evening was W B. McCaleb, superintendent of the Philadelphia division of the Pennsyl vania Railroad, who is a member of the club and an ardent Republican. Mr. McCaleb said he saw nothing in thf way of a big Republican victory f<nd he said it was especially important that a large majority be rolled up for the ticket this Fall in order that a proper groundwork may be laid for the national campaign of next year. "We are living in an era of fatso prosperity," said Mr. McCaleb. "The Wilson administration has been fortu nate in that the war came along just in time to save it from the results of its own legislation. But. the war will 1 not last five years longer, and if the Democrats are continued in power for another term this country will be cer tain to suffer after the war just what the war saved us from during the pres ent period of Democratic supremacy. It is therefore important that we leave no stone unturned this year to insure \ictory next year." James Craig, Deputy Secretary of Internal Affairs, and William M. Har gest. Deputy Attorney General, spoke somewhat along the same line, adding a word each for the candidates to bo elected in November. The reception was one of the largest in the history of the club.

HARRISBURG, PA., THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 14, 1915. HERE'S A STORY OF THE FOUNTAIN WITHOUT A HOME Guieseppe Donato Carved It For M. S. Hershey, the Chocolate King NOW NOBODY WANTS IT Park Owner Wants to Give It Back; Sculptor Sues For $25,000 Instead Stripped of legal verbiage, phrase ology and -jxplanation this is just a story of a fountain without a home— unpaid for, unwanted, unsung. These are the bare facts: Eo. some five years ago Milton S. Hershey, the "chocolate king," asked Gulseppe Donato, of artistic fame and Philadelphia, to carve him a nice foun tain with big basins and daughters of Pan and so on cavorting about the edges. Mr. Hershey, it appears, want ed the piece for Hershey park. Gulseppe who is some sculptor, got out his chisels and hammers and things and went to work. . In the five years that followed, so the Dauphin county court was told In argument court yesterday, the "chocolate king" and Guieseppe ex changed a lot of views on the subject and then their lawyers took up the matter. If the legal correspondence was reduced to simple questions and answers the story could be summed up something like this: 1910, Mr. Hershey: "Mr. Guiseppe 1 Donato, make me a fountain. It must be some fountain." 1912. Mr. Donato: "Fountain is nearly ready. How about SSOOO on account?" 1913. Mr. Hershey: "Can't be done. Whole job was only to cost $3100." 1914. Mr. Donato: "We've made lots of pretty changes; chopped and sculped around the figures so that the daughters of Pan stand out in bold relief, etc. If check on account isn't forthcoming must keep fountain." 1915. Mr. Hershey: "Will bring ac tion in replevin for fountain." l.ater: Donato: "Go to it." Whereupon the statue was obtained from Donato by a writ of replevin. Then Donato's lawyers got real busy, i And the answer went to Hershey something like this. "Keep the foun | tain. We'll bring action in assumpsit for $25,000." Hershey: "Take your fountain." Donato: "Don't want it!" And in Dauphin county court yes terday afternoon counsel wrestled all afternoon as to wether t+re»-replevin writ should lie amended whereby Hershey could give back the fountain to avoid the $25,000 assumpsit suit. The court took the paper. Delay in the Sale of Penna.
