ABERCROMBIE, Directors. SIGN FAR EAST PEACE TREATY [Continued From First Page] directed against Russia. Russia will take part in no arrangement or po litical combination directed against Japan. "Second ln case the territorial rights or special interests in the Far East of one of the contracting parties which are recognized by the other con tracting parties are menaced, Japan and Russia will consult with each other on measures to adopt with a view to supporting or extending terri tory." To a question from the Associated Press representative aa to what effect the alliance would have upon the open door and the integrity of China, the foreign office replied: "The convention is effectually an emphasis upon and an extension of the Anglo-Japanese alliance based upon the territorial integrity of China, whose open door and integrity are not endangered. American trade and in terests are In nowise affected." The foreign ofP.ce denied affirmations in Japanese newspapers that the con vention contained secret clauses, de claring that while the summary given out was the substance of the conven tion, it also was virtually the text of that document. The accord, which is virtually an alliance, is regarded here as of his toric importance as concerns the future developments of the Far East and world politics generally. It ends a long period of hostility between the two empires which culminated in the Russo-Japaneßo war and strengthens the position of Japan as a first class power. Now that Japan and Russia are pooling their interests In the Far East they will free themselves from the necessity of regarding each other as possible enemies in the future and from the maintenance or large bodies of troops on their respective frontiers. The impression in Toklo is that the convention ts framed to meet attempts at the extension of German influence in the Far East, believed to be unde sirable, while the hands of both pow ers are strengthened In dealing with the situation in China. Englishmen and Frenchmen claim that the second will check efforts at German aggrandizement after the war and prevent China becoming the cause of a new International turmoil. The Japanese are elated over the conclusion of the convention and the signing of the document will be com memorated at a ministerial banquet and probably by a popular lantern procession. The newspapers welcome the ex tension of Japanese influence In the Orient. WORKING FOR PEACE Berlin, July 7, via London.—Numer ous scientists, industrialists and rep resentatives of commerce and agri culture have formed a German na tional commission under the chair manship of Prince Von Wedel, says the Koelnische Zeitung with the aim of "awakening a uniform understand ing of the German people" for an hon orable conclusion of peace which shall guarantee a secured future empire." In doing this, says the Koelnische Zeitung, all one-sidedness Is to be avoided. BANK STATEMENTS.

Hospitals Deplorable conditions exist In 70 per cent, of the hospitals in this State; there are startling instances of mismanagement, a woeful neglect of patients, but there is going to be a cleaning up, and the men who force the issue will not be popular, but they are/going ahead with the work, Dr. John M. Baldy, president of the med ical bureau of education and licensure, told the members of the compensation board at their meeting held here yes terday . Dr. Francis D. Patterson, chief of the division of hygiene and engineer ing, said that 50 per cent, of the frac tures reduced by the medical fratern ity of this country represent botched jobs. Dr. J. B. McAllster, president of the Pennsylvania State Medical So ciety, confessed that there are many doctors holding certificates who are not fitted to practice their profession. Representatives of Insurance com panies made complaint that they are being robbed by the physicians and surgeons called in to treat injured workmen. Doctors Baldy, Patterson and Mc- Allster all ventured the observation that the medical profession is volun tarily "cleaning house." and the mem bers who decline to cultivate proper ethical standards are due for some surprises. CARNIVAL COMPANIES NOT EXEMPT FROM TAXATION Carnival companies and other traveling shows brought to a locality by a fraternal organization are not exempt from the tax Imposed by the act of 1913 upon tent shows and other itinerant exhibitions. Deputy Attorney General William M. Hargest has so construed the law for Auditor General A. W. Powell. A carnival company showing in tsyette county claimed tax exemption because it had been brought there by the local Loyal Order of Moose on a percentage basis. "The carnival company is not do n&ting its services to charity," says the opinion. "It is receiving pay by securing a percentage of the receipts. There is no charity of any kind so far as the carnival company is con cerned, whatever may be said of the object of the organization which em ploys the carnival company." FAVOR CLOSING" ON SATURDAYS [Continued From First Page] bert presided as chairman of the com mittee which had been appointed by the Chamber to ascertain the opinions of the merchants In regard to the change. The committee consisted of the chairman, W. H. Bennethum, Jr., David Kaufman, X. H. Doutrich, John C. Soutter and George W. Bogar. A light luncheon of sandwiches and ginger ale was served by the Cham ber. Those in attendance were almost unanimously in favor of making the change, namely to convert Friday into Saturday and make a real holiday of the last day of the week. There are still a very few of the merchants who are uncertain as to the wisdom of making the change, and the matter was discussed from every angle, both the effect on the buyer and the seller being given careful consideration. Dives, Pomeroy & Stewart, Kaufman's and Bowman's, the three largest de partment stores in the city, are heart ily in favor of the plan, as are the big majority of furniture, clothing, music and other stores. Before taking definite action on the proposition an attempt will be made to assure concerted action so that the closing will be general and none of the stores remain open on Saturday afternoons. It Is expected that a final conclu sion will be reached within the next few days so that if It be decided to remain open Friday nights and close at 1 o'clock on Saturdays the action will take effect for. next week, JULY 7, 1916. Closing of Paxtang Subway Cuts Off New Parkway Drive Outlet By officially closing its Paxtang sub way to the new parkway drive the Harrisburg Railways Company to-day practically turned the new drive from Cameron's extension to the spring house in Paxtang Park into a "dead end." Automobiles or other pleasure vehicles will be required to turn in the roadway and retrace their routes. The subway is the traction company's right of way and is not adaptable to general traffic purpose.!. The situation, in the opinion of city officials, emphasizes the importance of speedy and definite action on the part of the Philadelphia and Heading rail road authorities relative to the con struction of the proposed subway on the driveway route. When the sub way is finished the way through to Derry street and Incidentally from Cameron street on the east to Reser voir Park will be uninterrupted. The suggestion that some sort of a circular end to the present driveway be constructed temporarily at the end of the road at Paxtang for the con venience of the traffic has also been suggested. City Obtains 2,200 Yards of "Fill" For New River Park Area Without Cost Increased park area along the River Front Is assured before the end of the present season by the effective system of tilling:, grading and planting that is now being carried out by the park department on the 'flats" between Walnut and Mulbery streets, between the eastern edge of the river wall and the toe of the embankment. For the last few weeks the park department has been hauling earth from the excavations of St. Lawrence German Catholic Church site in State street. The first supply exceeded 1700 yards and yesterday the department was notified that an additional 500 yards would be provided. As soon as the grading is completed, the level stretches will be sown with grass seed. The big lot of "fill" material, as V.
