the use by non-employes of the Penn

"It has been brought t.o our atten

roads; May Have to Turn
Down Business
New York, Nov. 17.—Railroad men
iu this city view the freight congestion j
n and around New York with con
cern. The situation is growing more
jerious every day and at present there
s no relief in sight. It will take |
mndreds of ships to carry away the I
>xports that are now sidetracked and '
perating men do not know where
no ships are coming from.
Thousands of cars are stalled within I
i distance of 300 miles of New York, i
It was learned to-day that between 600 .
and 700 freight cars, loaded with'
locomotive parts consigned to Russia, |
are Included in the line-up. One road |
leading to Pittsburgh has between 7,-
000 and 10,000 filled cars blocked, all)
•he freight in this lot being consigned
o New York for export.
A problem which is facing the rail
-oads is the loss which must be in
curred if the freight cars can not be
■iade to move to their destination.
Freight cpnsigned to domestic points
accumulates demurrage charges if not
taken off the cars within a limited
time. There is no demurrage charge I
for export freight, however, and ship- I
>ers are permitted to unload at will, i
rhe railroads, naturally, reduce their j
arning capacity when thousands ot
ars are held out of service. In ad
lition, they face the losses which
•vould result from a general car short-
MTQ.
The president of one of the big
roads said to-day that the
'reight congestion was the worst
vhicli he could recall. His company
'iad not yet been forced to turn down
uisiness. he said, but such a course
night follow if ships were not found
to relieve the situation.

MANNING SAYS STATE
AND CITY SHOULD JOIN
TContinued from First Page]

development scheme was the keynote
of Mr. Manning's talk.
Capitol the Pivotal Point
"In closing," said the speaker, "X
want to call attention to the absolute
necessity of a closer co-operation be
tween the olficials of Harrisburg and
the officials of the State in the develop
ment of this, the State Capital City.
"It is undoKbtedlythe. desire of every
public-spirited citizen of this State, to
tiave the Capital City rival in beauty
any other in the United States. With
the earnest co-operation of all parties
Interested this can be brought about.
Tito natural conditions surrounding
the cU-v. the far-sighted city plan of
John Harris and hi# associates, the
actual roalizHtlon of a park and traf
fic road system making the e'reuit of
the city and the acquirement of the
River Front for public reservation and
possibly broadening the street as re
quired, the fixing of a. constant water
level in the great river basin opposite
the city, the monumental bridges and
shore lines which are being establish
ed, are making this Capital City of
Pennsylvania a much more notably
beautiful city than its people are
ready to admit.
The "City Bountiful"
"The people only need to go on at
the same rate in years to come in co
operation with the State," concluded
the landscape architect, "to make it
so fine that it will be the objective
point of many Americans as well as
European visitors who are looking for
a City Beautiful.
With the aid of nearly a hundred
stereoptieon slides Mr. Manning show
ed by maps and pictures how Harris
burg can be beautified and developed
as the objective point in the years to
come of the thousands who must nec
essarily travel the main highways lead
ing down through the mountain and
river valleys of Pennsylvania from
New England and New York to the
Middle and Southern Atlantic States.
Always he kept emphatically before
his audience the Importance of har
monious work of city and State au
thorities in the broadening of the
streets, the laying out of the parks and
parkways, and the construction of
radial roads leading from the city to
the north, east, s:outh and west, with
the imposing edifice of the Statehouse
ns the prominent point of interest in
the whole scheme.
Mr. Manning dwelt with especial
emphasis on the proposed plan of
Capitol Park Extension and flashed a
map on the screen illustrating the
method of treatment. This showed
Walnut and North streets widened to
a hundred feet, and converging by
broad curves into a hundred-foot
wide subway at State street.
"The problem of the Capital Park
is to my mind very largely a question
of securing the greatest utility a« well
as the greatest beauty from the open
space thus provided," said the speaker.
| "It will be the great 'State civic cen
ter,* " he continued, "and about it will
be grouped the various departmental
I buildings. Provision should also be
made for a great open-air forum prop
erly arranged for the convenience of an
audience in order that this State at its
outdoor Inaugural ceremonies will not
be compelled to erect temporary make
shift structures for the accommoda
tion of officials and public as are pro
vided at the National Capitol in Wash
ington."
State Street
One of the great entrance ways to
the city from the east will be over
State street. City and State should
work together in such a way, declared
Mr. Manning as to allow the tourist
an unobstructed view of the Capitol
building. The Incoming visitor should
get his first grand uninterrupted view
when he leaches the "red barn" at
the junction of State and Walnut
streets, Just west of Penbrook's boun
aries. Construction of a monument on
the site of the barn and the removal
of the soldiers' monument from State
and Second to the River Park at the
end of State street were suggested.
A great new terminal station to be
constructed by the Pennsylvania rail
road in such way a* to allow an un
obstructed view of the Statehouse
across the park stretches from the
waiting rooms was another suggested
possibility.
State street throughout its length,
because of Its peculiar relation to the
Capitol, was given especial attention.
In years to come, Mr. Manning said,
Harrisburg might do well to erect a
great monumental bridge across the
Susquehanna at State street. Easy

Some Suggestions
Widening of the present main ar
teries leading across the Market Street
Bridge through Lemoyne; the acquire
ment of sufficient ground on the Cum
berland shores to permit the construc
tion of broad roadways to correspond
with the drive along Front street; the
acquiring by joint county or State ac
tion of enough land on either side of
the highways through the river gaps
above Harrisburg to permit the wid
ening of the thoroughfares, the ac
quiring of Fort Washington: co-oper
ation of city and State in maintaining
such uniformity of building line as to
prevent a restricted view of the capitoi
building from points across the river
—these are only a few more of the
park expert's suggestions for further
development of the "City Beautiful"
scheme.
Scores of other State Capitols and
their surroundings were pictured to
emphasize what Harrisburg should
work to accomplish or avoid in the
beautification of the City with relation
to the Statehouse. Open vistas
through properly planted trees should
be provided wherever possible.
Harrisburg and Europe
Maps and pictures of parkway de
velopment and pleasure road con
struction in various cities of America
and Europe were displayed for com
parative purposes. Special attention
was given to the need of planning for
the ever-increasing travel of autc
tourists.
Some views of the water fronts ol
other cities of the world as compared
with the "front steps of Harrisburg"
were included in Mr. Manning's reper
toire. He used the splendid stretch "I
curving steps to show how utility and
beauty had been combined by Harris
burg in turning the protective wall for
the river interceptor into a 3-mile
promenade throughout the length ol
the city.
The park expert Incidentally paid a
tribute to the public spirit of Harris
burg's citizens. Reference to the Har
risburg method of acquiring hundreds
of acres of park land through gift ot
at nominal cost to complete the park
way offered the opportunity.
Harrisburg I.cads
"All this." declared Mr. Manning,
"is largely due to the public spirit of
the citizens of Harrisburg. That kind
of spirit, by tiie way, should be de
veloped throughout the State and you
will find that men of equally broad
views in other parts of Pennsylvania
will be Just as ready to co-operate in
the same way. The State might <l'J
well to encourage this spirit, particu
larly in acquiring the additional strip"
of land where highways should be
broadened."
The only other talk of the eveniufl
session was delivered by Charles 13.
Meek, of New York City, who talked
on "Fire Prevention." Governot
Brumbaugh was unable to attend be
cause of a press of other engagements.
