STATE FAIR PROJECT
FULLY EXPLAINED
[Continued From First Page]
W. J. STEWART
Originator of Keystone State Fair
Idea
of the fair idea, made a report and
the financial statement of the com
pany was submitted. J. William
Bowman presided.
Among the out-of-town speakers
were Lewis H. Myers, manager for
James L. Stewart, Pittsburgh; Col.
Jcmes Bennett, Greensburg; E. H.
Balr, Greensburg; Pierce Anderson, of
Graham-Burnham and Company,
Chicago, architects for the fair com
pany; A. P. Sandles, Ohio fair expert;
Israel H. Supplee, Bryn Mawr; J. C.
F. Groh, Chambersburg, and a num
ber of men prominent in financial af
fairs of Harrisburg. Of the Harris
burgers present were Edward Bailey,
the well-known banker; David E.
Tracy, president of the Harrisburg
Pipe and Pipe Bending Company; W.
B. McCaleb, superintendent of the
Philadelphia division of the Pennsyl
vania Railroad Company; J. C. Mot
ter. of the Mechanics Trust Company.
A. P. Sandles, who will be remem-
H bered as the man who brought the
* Ohio Corn Boys through Harrisburg
on their trip to Washington and other
cities and who was offered a place on
the Federal Farm Loan Board, made
a vigorous plea for the establishment
of a State Fair in Pennsylvania.
"Some men prefer to invest in 'Blue
Sky' far away, rather than give a
helping hand to a home proposition
that is reasonably sure to return a
profit " said he.
"Pennsylvania is a great and splen
did Commonwealth. It is a laggard
In State fair matters. It is the only
big State of the Union that does not
suppor*. a great State fair or exposi
tion.
"President McKinley in his Buffalo
Exposition speech, made on the day
ho was shot, said, 'Fairs and exposi
tions are the time-pieces which mark
the progress of nations.'
"The site selected for the Keystone
State Fair Is Ideal. It is located on
one of the world's greatest highways,
the Pennsylvania Railway. It fronts on
one of the most picturesque rivers of
America. A touch of the landscape
artist will make these grounds a won
der picture. Every foot of real estate
within a wide radius will have a
marvelous rising value.
"A capital city is a natural and
logical cross-roads of a State. A State
fair will make it more so. ' It's the

place where those who have something
to sell and those who have something
to buy meet and shake hands.
"A State fair is a battle ground of
breeds, speeds, and the products of
soil and toil. Contrast and com
parison are educational factors.
Fair and Speedway
"Thousands flock to county fairs. A
vast population is within easy reach
of the proposed Keystone State Fair.
"The world is crazy for speed and
red-blooded entertainment. Many
citizens of Pennsylvania annually at
tend the auto races of Indianapolis,
Pennsylvania has the ability to make
Indiana folks travel eastward.
"The Ohio State Fair has been a
money-maker. The City of Columbus
is taxed to its capacity to take care of
the crowds. Special trains from all
directions bring thousands to our
Capital City. Every buslnras ts stimu
lated and hundreds of thousands of
outside money is left in Columbus.
Trainloads of exhibits from every
where show to the public the progress
of the world. Forty acres of ma
chinery, several thousand pure bred
animals, products of farm and field,
brush and needle, contribute to make
up an exposition that compels a
tendency toward better things.
"Pennsylvania people go to Lexing
ton and elsewhere to see horse racing.
Home appreciation and home industry
are proper things to encourage.
"Gibbon, the historian, has said that
agriculture is the foundation of com
merce. Any enterprise that will en
courage better agriculture and better
lhestock is worthy the help and at
tention of all good citizens.
"Ham and eggs, bread and butter,
will always be fashionable.
"In the past fifteen years the popula
tion of the United States Increased 23
million. During this time the food
supply production did not increase a
pound or bushel. There is a red
light warning in these facts. The
high cost of living is no accident. Big
men must give attention. Increase
i yield of fields is a command.
"In Erie, Pa., the Chamber of Com
merce, this year, took hold of the
proposition of building an exposition
for Erie. It is now well under way.
Ar. exposition will be given this year.
Its success is assured.
"A State Fair for Pennsylvania must
be built on broad lines and by men
who have a vision of the future. Plant
the acorn and an oak will grow. Once
established, it will grow and endure.
It. will become a great educational
factor of your State. Those who blaze
the trail and become Its pioneers will
have won honor for themselves ana
builded better than they knew."
W. M. Stewart, speaking for the fair
association, said;
"Realizing tha strength of the banks
and business men of Harrisburg, why
should we allow this organization to
fall into the hands of a lot of pro
moting leeches and allow them to take
1 away from our stockholders that
which rightfully belongs to them. I
consider the hardest part of this work
| has been done, and if the good citizens
' of Harrisburg atnl Dauphin county will
put their shoulders to the wheel and
help to support this proposition as
they should Rnd through advertising
periodicals spread the news through
, out the State ol' Pennsylvania, it will
j be but a question of a short, time until
you will see looming up before you on
the Keystone State Fair site speedway
and State fair buildings.
"The company has been fortunate
in securing the services of such re
nowned architects as Graham, Burn
ham & Co., of Chicago, who, with a
I force of experienced designers, have
! designed and laid out plans for one of
the greatest speedway and fair propo
sitions of America.
"The contract for grading the entire
[ site has been let and the work started
j over two months ago with an equip
ment of three steam shovels, three,
locomotives, thirty cars and about
I twenty teams, with a large force of
! men. and at this time the work of
I grading the speedway Is about two-
I thirds finished, while bids are being
MAJOR SHUMBERGER
AND LT. COL. KEMPER
HAVE FINE
Reading from left to right, here are
the pictures of Lieutenant-Colonel!
James B. Kemper, of the Eighth Regi- '
ment, Pennsyl\ania Infantry, and
Major J. C. Rhumberger, of the new
quartermaster's department at Mount j
Gretna, snapped in front of the Tele
graph building on a brief visit to Har
risburg last Monday to attend the Ro- i
tary Club luncheon, both being mem- !
bers of that organization. "You can't
get it away from the Rotary Club,'' j
said President Fry when he introduced i
them, referring to the fact that it was
Shumberger's duty at Mount Gretna to j
turn the property of the Guard over to i
the national government and Kemper's
duty as a regular army man to receive I
it. It was largely due to the work of
these two, and especially the system
evolved by Kemper as chief mustering
officer, that Pennsylvania was the first!
taken for speedway, grandstands and
garages. At the same time the archi
tects are having the work of preparing j
plans for the buildings executed.
l > ro',perity for City
"This proposition, if carried out suc
cessfully (and there is no reason why'
it cannot be), will mean for Harris- j
burg great prosperity from the fact
that it will bring hundreds of thou
sands of people to Harrisburg who will :
spend hundreds of thousands of dol- |
lars, of which the bankers, business j
men and the people generally will
share in the good it will do the com
munity, as has been fully demon- :
strated by other speedways and State 1
fairs.
"It will be three years on the 10th
of next November since the work of j
securing a site for the Keystone State
F'air and Industrial Expos'tion was!
started, and no.v we are meeting with
the business men of Harrisburg to pre- i
sent to them our proposition and lay I
before them the progress made and
the financial condition of our com
pany, which we take great pleasure In
doing.
"Since our organization we have had j
two or three propositions laid before
our company from promoters. One of
the propositions made was follows:
They agreed to loan our company j
$700,000 upon the following terms and j
conditions, namely; if our company
has sold $200,000 of the company's
stock they would put tip $200,000, and |
as our salesmen were selling stock i
they would put up in equal propor-li
tions to the amount sold, and for their |
services they to receive $175,000 in j
cash and a bonus of $250,000 in stock. |
Only Knilorsement Needed
"1 did not agree in this, although I
understood some were in favor of it.
If a few of the best representative
people of Harrisburg will take the
management of this proposition and
place the Chamber of Commerce of
Harrisburg in a position to notify the
other Chmbers of Commerce through
out the state that the proposition is
rounded upon honest lines and is now
under careful, strict, conservative
management, and the Motor Club of
Harrisburg do likewise with the motor
clubs throughout the state, and our
banks placed in a position to answer
Inquiries from other banks throughout
the state in a satisfactory way, it will
not take our organization long to float
its full capitalization."
Dr. Seibcrt's Letter
A letter was read from Dr. W. L.
Selbert, of Steelton. as follows:
"I thank you very sincerely for the
kind invitation to attend a meeting to
be held in the interest of the Keystone
State Fair and Industrial Exposition
July 11.
"But I am uorry to decline the invi
tation, as my vacation occurs next two
weeks.
"However. I will add that it speaks
well for this great local enterprise
that the Chamber of Commerce takes
up the matter in a business manner.
"This enterprise means much more
for Harrisburg £,nd this locality around
Harrisburg than the community com
prehends.
"I fancy thousands of strangers will
gather here and remain for days once
the enterprise gets into operation and
in a way it will help to put Harrisburg
still more prominently on the map of
the United States."
W. E. Skinner, general manager of
the National Dairy Show Association,
sent a letter telling what is being done
In this line in New England. He said:
"The twenty-five men who came out
to Invite us hold our convention in the
East on their return journey pledged
the purchase price of 170 acres of land
upon which the buildings were to be
constructed for the purpose of holding
an annual agricultural and industrial
exposition, and in six weeks' time had
$690,000 subscribed practically by the
citizens of two communities to con
struct the equipment and finance the
work, and there is now in course of
erection a beautiful coliseum and ade
quate buildings for the housing of our
show this year as a starter. By 1917
they will have one of the show places
of the country—l mean by this one of
the beautiful exhibition grounds and
plants of the United States. Their
scheme Is wonderful and they are car
rying It through, making of it one of
the spots that tourists through New
England will all visit; and it seems to
me that the people of Pennsylvania,
under the present agricultural con
ditions of our country, owe to the
wealth-producing Interests of the State
that they have at some nlace wlthlh
the boundaries of the State a fair

regular army captain, but was ap

"I would not presume to intrude my
views as to the location for such a
plant, but I do not hesitate to endorse
the movement for an exhibition

Commonwealth, to be built at once, for
the holding of regular annua! fair

Mr. Anderson of Graham, Burnham
& Co., displayed a large map of the
fair site, showed the work already
done and said that the possibilities are
for the mosi beautiful fair and ex

To Create 2,000,000
H. P. Niagara Power Plant
Without Marring Falls
Ottawa, July 12. The develop
ment of 2,000,000 horsepower of elec
tric energy below Niagara Falls with
out disturbing the Horseshoe or the
American Falls, and the expenditure
of $100,000,000 In the work, are pro
posed In a scheme that has been sub
mitted to the Dominion Government
for approval.
The promoters are an incorporated
company, the Thomson-Porter Catar
act Company, headed by T. Kennard
Thomson and Peter A. Porter, two
Americans. They propose to place a
dam in the rapids below the falls to
raise the water 100 feet. Half the
power developed would go to Ontario
and the company would agree to sell
the Canadian half of the dam to Can
ada at the initial cost, plus a percent
age, and to make iln agreement as to
the charge to be made for power. The
government will appoint a committee
of engineers to look into the scheme.
WIFE MURDERER
EXPECTED TO DIE
[Continued From First Page]
o'clock yesterday afternoon at the
home of John O. Hughes, of 347 South
Thirteenth street, in the presence of
three women. Christley walked tnto
the kitchen of the Hushes home,
where Mrs. Christley, Mrs. Hughes
and her daughter, Verna Hughes, and
Mrs. Harriet Geiger, Mrs. Hughes'
mother, were sitting.
The Murder
According to their story, he stepped
toward his wife and as she retreated
screaming, he fired twice from a 32-
caliber revolver. As she sank to the
floor, Mr. Hughes rushed into the
house and Christley then shot him
self.
The police were summoned
and rushed Christley to the hospital.
His wife died almost instantly ami
the body was turned over by Coroner
Eckinger to Undertaker C. H. Mauk.
Just as Christley shot himself, his
10-year-old daughter, Evelyn Christ
ley. came Into the kitchen and saw her
father and mother lying on the floor
in pools of blood. The motive for the
tragedy, according to neighbors, was
groundless Jealousy. On Monday
Christley was ordered by the court to
pay his wife S7O a month for mainte
nance. She left him, about April 1
according to neighbors, and had been
staying with a brother.
Christley was delirious to-day at the
hospital, and no statement could be
obtained from him.
Christley was placed tn a straight
Jacket this morning because of his
mental condition. Last night District
Attorney Stroup attempted to get a
statement from him, when Christley
asked to have the attorney sent to
him. When Mr. Stroup called, how
ever. Christley was in a semiconscious
condition and delirious.
Mrs. Christley is survived by two
daughters, Marie and Evelyn, and a
son, Edward; her mother, Mrs. Mary
Thomas, of Leraoyne; three sisters,
Mrs. Agnes Deitrich, of Harrisburg;
Mrs. Lillian Linebaugh and Mrs. Min
nie Dunkelberger, both of New Cum
