Cow den had worked up on the subject during the last few months. This information was gathered to serve as a basis for any definite plans that might be prepared. Pcnnsy Uncnthusiastie The railroad official's letter isn't at all enthusiastic, however. In the first place Mr. McCaleb points out that, there is "no space for bridge piers -without crowding the track room." However, the super intendent adds, if it be necessary to make a more detailed plan in order to obtain a more accurate estimate of the cost, it might he advisable to draw the spans as long as possible. "But," concludes the letter, "wc do not wish to be understood as agreeing to the construction of -any piers or abutments on ou»- right of way." In answer to the suggestion that the act of 1901 provides authority for the company to assume a part of the cost of the bridge construction, Sir. McCaleb briefly says that the com pany considers the act of 1901 re pealed by tho act which created the Public Service Commission and that the company therefore is not bound to pay any part of the cost. To Select Engineer Commissioner Lynch made no other comment on the letter than to say that the city would now engage an engineer to prepare the plans in ac cordance with the ordinance that is now on the city books. An appropria tion of $1,500 has been provided for the purpose. Whether there will be a local en gineer or an out-of-town engineer or firm selected for the purpose is a matter of conjecture although it is understood that any one of three local men have been considered. Before the city can proceed a single step toward the erection of the bridge, the plans must be approved by the Public Service Commission of Penn sylvania.

Where Glmn Are Made Right, 34 North Third Street FRIDAY EVENING, HARFtISBTJRG TELEGRAPH APRIL 7, 1916. NEWS OF STEELTON COMMISSION PLAN SUCCESSFUL HERE Middletown Solves Recreation Problem; Urge Adoption of System Since the Municipal League of Steel ton lias gone upon record as favoring the creation of a park and playgrounds commission to handle the work inci dent to the establishment of an ade quate recreation system for the bor ough, much sentiment favoring such a step has developed in Steelton. At the next meeting of council, Mon day evening, the league will present a letter requesting the borough fathers to authorize the appointment of a commission of probably five members. As an example of how the commis sion management works out in the de velopment of a park or playgrounds system in boroughs, friends of recrea tion point to the record of the Middle town Park Commission. Established in 1907, when three prominent Middletown men requested council to recognize the park move ment. the commission at first had eight members. In thai year S4OO was raised by public subscription and used to beautify Municipal Park, a pretty tract of several acres along the banks of the picturesque Swatara creek. 1 Rach year attei this the commission did excellent work in transforming a tangled plot of almost useless land into one of the prettiest little play places in Central Pennsylvania. More than 100 benches and 50 tables were built and placed throughout the tract. Brush and briars were cleared away and a kitchen, toilets and pavilion I were built. Three Members Better In 1!> 14 the commission was cut down to three members because for a town , of the size such a body was found to ibe the most efficient. The members of ■ this commission are R. P. Raymond, ; chairman; W. P. Roop, secretary, and I Colin S. Few, superintendent. Under the new arrangement consid -1 erable more development work has i been done and to-day Municipal Park I is as pretty a recreation place as that of which any borough in Pennsylvania can boast. Middletown Favors Plan Asked this morning what he thought of the commission plan and how it worked out in Middletown, Colin S. I Few, superintendent of the commis ! sion, who has been the leader in the movement for parks at Middletown, said: "We have reasons to be very much pleased with the commission plan here. It has been successful in obtain- I ing for the borough abetter park than I we could have obtained In any other ! way and we have accomplished much work at little expense to the borough." Mr. Few further added that tinder ! the commission plan politics never flg i ured in Middletown's parks and there lias never been a single criticism of methods. .

RAUNICK URGES AID J)F PARENTS [Continued From First Page.] the restrictive measures adopted for all public institutions, no success will result unless parents keep the chil dren from entering other houses. "Let them get out and get plenty of fresh air, but keep them out of your neighbor's house," was his terse advice this morning. This afternoon the city health authorities met with the theatrical managers and discussed further measures to be adopted to keep children away from the movies. Dr. Raunick has asked parents to come to tho air of the city in checking the spread of the disease by keeping their children away from public places as much as possible. Don't give them permission to go to the movies, and keep them away from Sunday school if they are not over ten years of age.

BRUMBAUGH IN FIGHT TO FINISH [Continued Front First Page.] had decided to withdraw. This morning the Governor changed his mind and told friends in the State administration that he was not going to tolerate threats and expressed re sentment at what he said had been held up to him. The Governor had evidently been under considerable mental stress and shortly before noon is said to have told friends that he meant to fight it. out. The statement appeared soon after the usual hour for luncheon at the Executive Mansion. It reviewed in anticipation of attacks which tint Governor said had been threatened against him, the alleged transaction, which consisted of receipt of a check from David B. Oliver, former member of the State Board ot Education, | which the Governor says he regarded as personal and not political and which lie said lie did not put in his campaign contribution statement. The j proceeds he says he applied to person | al purposes after the election. Tension Relieved Issuance of the statement relieved the tension under which everyone connected with the State Government has labored for weeks. It is now- a plain case of fight, for control and political activity will be expected of everyone interested in the Governor's campaign beyond a doubt. Attorney General Francis Shunk Brown, who labored with the Gover nor to induce him to fight, declined to make any statement this after noon. Other men who have been leaders in the Governor's campaign were incUned to be very "cocky." The usual flood of gossip which always follows any startling development at the Capitol broke loose this afternoon but no one resigned. The Governor's office said there was nothing more to give out. It is understood that the leaders of the Brumbaugh campaign, including the Vares .and a number of men from interior and western counties, will meet at Atlantic City to-morrow to! outline the campaign which will bo! waged in all its bitterness. The Brumbaugh headquarters which ; bad been marking time and listing men who had declared for the Gov ernor resumed activity this afternoon ano put out what were termed "silll further evidence of Governor Brum baugh's popularity" and lists of men who are for the Governor in the hard coal field. It is rumored here this afternoon that Congressman Vare and others would be here before the end of the day. The Governor's Statement The Governor's statement follows Just at a time when thoughtful men were endeavoring to secure a reunited Republican party in Pennsylvania and when unselfish loyalty was needed to make pos sible a Republican victory there was instituted a campaign of slander and abuse directed at me personally which I resent so ab solutely that I shall tell the people of Pennsylvania of it and leave to their sense of decency and fair play the facts here set forth—• Before I left ffir Scranton on March sixteenth I was informed by my friend John S. Killing that he had been asked by phone to come to Washington to meet Sena tor Oliver on a matter of Im portance. Mr. Rilling with my approval went. 1 met Mr. Rilling the next day at 10:50 p. m. in the hotel in Philadelphia when I started to the 11:15 p. m. train for Pittsburgh. Walking to the train, Mr. Rilling informed me that when he reached Washing ton and met Senator Oliver the Senator locked his door and pro duced photographic reproduc tions (1) of a check dated the latter part of September 1914, drawn by Mr. David B. Oliver to me for one thousand dollars ($1,000), (2) of my endorsement on back of same, (3) of a tele gram 1 sent Mr. Oliver, and (4) of a letter following the telegram thanking Mr. Oliver for the check. It was intimated that unless I withdrew from the contest the whole thing would be given pub licity. The charge being that this was a campaign contribution which I did not report, in my ex pense account filed in November 1914, with the Secretary of the ('omnionwealth. 1 said to Mr. Rilling that I did not care how soon it was printed as i had a definite remembrance of the case and that it was known fully at the time by at least two persons in whom 1 had perfect confidence. I met Mr. Rilling again on the following Tuesday upon my re turn from Pittsburgh and we went more at length into the details of the matter,. At this time we were assured by liim that we could drop the matter as It would not be heard of again. In all this Mr. Rilling was only the invited participant and the gentleman he always is. Vl6lte<l by Newspapermen On Monday, April third, Mr. Spurgeon of the Public Ledger, wired and asked for an Interview with me. The next morning ac companied by Mr. Sterling, of the Public Ledger, he came to (he Mansion. We had luncheon and then in the presence of Mr. Ball these same papers were shown me and Mr. Ball. I gave these men a frank and full statement of the truth, whereupon they stated that they thought It a po litical attack solely and that the Ledger would not publish it un less it were to appear iu other papers in which case they wanted the privilege to print it first with such friendly comment as they felt the truth would warrant. They returned to the city, met Senator Oliver and have not yet published the matter. But I want it known. I will not con sciously allow any one to reflect upon my character and I have nothing in all this that I am not willing the people should know. Mr. David li. Oliver was one of my dearest friends. I still love him and cannot bring myself to think of him in any way other than as a gentleman of the high est characler. He is wealthy. He knew my financial condition. He also knew that T had declined pay from the Board of Education in Philadelphia while I was in the campaign. He sent me this check with a letter in which he ex pressly and definitely requested me to use it for my personal, not my political needs, and asking me not to have his name known or used in connection with it. The late Mr. Iliatt, then acting as my secretary, opened it and instead of turning it with other checks into the citizens' committee ac count to be expended on my cam paign he said—This is a personal gift and we cannot use it in the campaign. It was deposited in the Girard Trust ('ompany in my private account, independent of all election funds, and was kept there intact until after the elec tion and was then used solely for personal purpose. Puts It U|» to Voters I regarded Mr. Oliver as a father and wrote him as I'd write my father. That this should now be brought out as a means of co ercing me anil reflecting upon my honesty is strange indeed. The money was never used in any way in my campaign and is therefore not reported in my expense ac count. I will let the people judge the meaning of all this and 1 only ask wnat is fair and decent— Will Pennsylvania manliojid stand for such procedure? Yours truly, M. G. BRUMBAUGH. SPAIN WANTS EXPLANATION By Associated Press Madrid, April 6. via Paris, April 7. —The Spanish cabinet, has decided to instruct the umbnssador at Berlin to request from the German government an explanation of the sinking of the Spanish steamer Vigo and a defini tion of its policy with regard to the lights of neutrals on the seas.

URGES EVERYONE TO QUICKLY GET ON WATER WAGON Drink glass of hot water before breakfast to wash out poisons. To see the* tinge of healthy bloom in your face, to see your skin get clearer and clearer, to wake up with out a headache, backache, coated tongue or a nasty breath, in fact to feel your best, day in and day out, just try inside-bathing every morning for one week. Before breakfast each day drink a glass of real hot water with a tea spoonful of limestone phosphate in it as a harmless means of washing from '' the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the previous day's indigestible waste, sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and ~urlfying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. The action of hot water and limestone phosphate on an empty stomach is wonderfully In vigorating. It cleans out all thesour fermentations, gases and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast. A quarter pound of limestone phos phate will cost very little at the drug store, but is sufficient to demonstrate that just as soap and hot water cleanses, sweetens and freshens the sl'in, so hot water and limestone phos phate act on the blood and Internal organs. Those who are subject, to con stipation, bilious attacks, acid stom ach, rheumatic twinges, also those whose skin is sallow and complexion pallid, fire assured that one week of inside bathing will have them both looking and feeling better In every way.—Adv.
