HOW ABOUT THAT
RIVER BOATHOUSE?
'llardscrabblc' Possibilities and
Approach of Spring Set
Canoeists Thinking
SOMK PRIVATE PLANS
Plaee to Store Hundreds of
('.raft Essential; Municipal
Pavilion Advocated
Recent discussion in City Council of
th< "I lardscrabble" problem com
bined with the neur approach of open
canoeing season has set the hundreds
of canoeists throughout Harrisburg
pondering—the question, storage and
re ntal facilities (luring the coming:
summer.
That there is need for a boathouse
commodious enough to accommodate
the several hundred light water craft
goes without saying, and the possibili
ties of eliminating "Hardserabble" has
revived the talk of erecting a munici
pal boathouse.
iJolli Commissioner Bowman and
cx-Cominlsioner Taylor had plans in
view for constructing a permanent
municipally-owned or controlled boat
house along the Uiver Wall at "Hard
scrabble"' when the section should be
formally condemned and taken over
by the cily. No definite action, how
ever, was ever taken.
During (lie last few weeks several
drawings for private boathouses have
been prepared, including a set by
George Heist, a South 1 larrisburg man,
«ind another by the Engineers' Society
of Pennsylvania. Whether any pri
vate concessionaire would have the
right to occupy Kiver Wall space for
this purpose should the matter lie car
ried into the courts, is considered a
legal problem that might involve a
•wide discussion. Canoeists, however,
have had m> tip from either A. P.
Dintaman nor Harry .1. Berrier, the
two big boat pavilion owners of
"Hardserabble," relative to removal,
and this has served thus far to ease
the minds of scores of youths who had
been wondering what they might have
to do for a place to keep their canoes.

MAUSOLEUM AT
PAXTANG PLANNED
Will Be Possible to Entomb
Several Hundred Under Co
operative Burial Plan
J An important and distinctive move
ment along the line of civic improve
ment for this city is now well under!
way, and it is practically assured that
within a short time Harrisburg will I
boast of one of the finest memorial
. mausoleums to be found in this coun- |
■ try. For several years the directors
lof Pax tang Cemetery have been in
vestigating mausoleums, their con- j
struction and general desirability, j
Their experience as cemetery men has
led them to believe that a great ma- i
jority of the people have a horror of j
i earth burial, but they realized that I
but very few have been able to pro- !
j vide other means because of the ex
cessive cost attending the construction |
of private tombs, in order to make
mausoleum entombment possible for ,
those who desire it, it is proposed to j
| erect under a co-operative plan of |
l construction and endowment a beau- |
tiful mausoleum in which several hun- |
dred persons may be entombed and '
tlie remains cared for under the most j
j highly sanitary and scientilic method |
i possible.
The building planned for Paxtang
j will be constructed entirely of gran- ]
ite, 'marble, bronze at'd concrete rein- |
forced with steel, in design the build- :
ing will be of Doric architecture, sim
ple, massive and stately, it is stated
that tlie cost of entombment underj
this co-operative plan will be little, or
no more, than for ordinary earth bur-I
fal. After the building is completed,
it will be tidowed in a sufficient sum j
to insure its perpetual care and main- !
; tenance.
It is interesting to learn that within |
| the past eight years more than three i
Hundred of these mausoleums have I
been ercted throughout the United I
States and Caniida: therefore, Harris-j
burg is not the first city to take up |
this new method of entombment, but
the plans would indicate that the j
building planned for I larrisburg will !
i be one of the best yet constructed and
situated, as it will be, in one of the j
best locations in Paxtang, commanding |
I a beautiful view of the t countryside,
' it will be an ornament to the eeme- i
j tery, a tribute to the civic spirit of j
the people of Harrisburg and an ever- i
lasting monument to the memory of I
those who sleep within its portals.

WAITING FOITBABY,

1 he preferred to have her die of ex- |
j haustion rather than to kill her out- j
i right—and because she proved to be
able to withstand hardship better than
J his own men he promised he would j
I release her after he had sacked Co- j
j lumbus. He also agreed to give her I
j SIOO gold and a permit to travel un-I
molested throughout any part of the I
j Villa territory.
Fxpeets Outside Aid
"Villa only talked to me twice," Mrs.
Wright said. "1 avoided talking with
him because he would have thought f
! admired him, and would have forced
mo to accompany him. He told his
| officers how he would wipe out the
| town of ('olumbus and then when the
| United States tried to invade Mexican
j territory, Germany and Japan would
I step in to interfere. Villa believed this
firmly. 1 have overheard him make
such remarks from time to time,
j Whether some agents of these two
| countries are making him believe this,
j or whether it is an idea which came
to him, I do not know. Hut be is con-
I Vlnced that he will lie assisted in the
) fight tie has started,
j "How 1 wanted to escape to tell the
i people of Columbus about the attack,
j Hut I was watched all the time. The |
first night 1 was allowed to sleep in j
j an abandoned adobe house which was |
prepared for me. About thirty sad
! dies were piled in front of the door.!
The guards slept with t'lieir heads to !
[the door and their feet to a fire just I
beyond.
Tries to Kscape
j "I lay down, but not to sleep. About j
midnight 1 heard the snoring of the
| Mexican guards. I peeked through the !
■ opening of the saddles and spied j
i Villa's charger, a splendid steed, about
! fifty feet from the hut. One by one
t I removed the saddles and stepped
; over the sleeping forms until I reached ]
| the horse.
"The horse was tangled in liis rope. !
, 1 began to untangle the horse and j
then one of the Mexicans turned over,
i lie saw something was wrong. I stood |
' behind the horse Hut the horse re- 1
fused to stand still and it kept me busy I
keeping behind the animal. Finally
thi' guard came out to where the horse j
was.
"What are you doing here?" he j
: asked.
"Untangling the horse." 1 replied. |
Then he finished the task 1 started. !
1 longed for a hatpin, a dagger, a 1
penknife, anything to kill the man. 1 j
could have shot him. had I had a gun. '
1 But if 1 could have killed him I would i
have escaped, since none of the other I
horses could have overtaken me. 1 j
returned to the hut. From then on I j
was watched constantly until I was re- :
leased at Columbus."
