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.

Deplorable Conditions
in Penna. 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.
Grant Forrer, assistant park superin
tendent explained, hasn't cost the city
a cent except perhaps for the oc
casional man who might have been
employed for a brief period now and
then to assist in spreading the dirt.
The contractor which wanted the place
to dump the earth hauls it, using sev-
