Mackey in the case of Mary Stifure, of M*Kees Hocks, against the Standard Steel Car Co., of; Pittsburgh. The board will grant com mutation only in "exceptionally meri- I torious cases," says Mr. Mackey. The petitioner has been paid com pensation at the rate of $6,015 cover ing a period of fifteen years, the bene fits being for herself and three small ihildren and the decision says that the widow desires to have one sum paid to her instead of substantial semi tnrnthly payments. "It seems to thet board that it will be well to protect her as against herself by refusing her ' petition," says the decision. "It will only be in rare cases that we can wisely exercise this discretion by grant ing such petitions. It is a great temp tation to a widow or any beneficiary: under this law to ask that the compen- | sation payments be commuted to pres. 1 ent value and paid in a lump sum. j We think, however, in a great major-! Ity of these cases these petitions are j ill advised and a real wrong would be ' 3one to the petitioners if we granted their prayers." The opinion says that the act pro vides for payments so as to relieve de pendents of real want and continues "In the majority pt these cases the de pendents have been unaccustomed to the use of money in bulk and the sud den acquisition of a considerable sum might readily lead to its unwise ex penditure or to Us unfortunate invest ment. The widow might terminate her dependency by remarrying and then the money would probably be spent without regard to the rights or best Interests of the children." "As a general rule," continues the opinion, "we are opposed to granting such petitions to alien citizens who ,-mgb your TEETH —are Pyorrhea and decay.

The injured are Mrs. i Alphus B. Smith, aged 61, of Stumps j town, small laceration above the left eye and internal injuries, condition serious; Alphus B. Smith, aged 61, her husband, small cut above the eye; Miss j Mary Sprout, aged 17, 1621 Hunter avenue, bruises of the body, and Tony Camello, aged 18, 144 South Third ftreet, bruises of the body. Mr. and Mrs. Smith left their home at Stumpstown, three miles below Me- I chanicsburg, last evening wtih a load | of produce to sell at one of the local i markets. The Smiths had reached the Harrisburg side of the bridge when Camello, driving a motorcycle, on the rear ot which sat Miss Sprout, coming | the same direction, crashed into the ' wagon. Mr. and Mrs. Smith were taken to ! the Harrisburg Hospital; Camello and j Miss Sprout walked to the institution. Camello and Miss Sprout were return | ing from a ride to Carlisle. Mrs. Smith, Miss Sprout and Camello were | placed in wards. Treasure Hunting Fleet Puts in For Alterations By Associated Press j Newport News, Va„ July 19.

The treas ure hunters will start operations with in a week, it was said. The Merida lies in 200 feet of water 55 miles off the Virginia capes. NEW NAVY LOOKS TO HARDSCRABBLE Permanent Organization of River Enthusiasts Awaiting Court Decision Organization Monday evening of the city s big "navy" of canoeists, motor boat men and other river enthusiasts has revived with a vengeance the gen eral demand among water sportsmen for municipal boathouses and bathing beaches. "Our numbers are growing daily and the needs in th« way of boathouse and bathhouse facilities are growing pro portionately," as one river enthusiast put it, "and I believe the City Council men are beginning to appreciate this. (, ertainly they must think of some way of providing suitable quarters for hous ing our boats after 'Hardscrabble' is eliminated. Recognition in Budget "From what I can gather from their statements yesterday in the Telegraph, a majority of them favor permanent recognition of the river 'basin' possi bilities via the annual budget. "Furthermore, the 'Hardscrabble' problem is nearing solution. The Dau phin county courts are considering the legal phases now and of course every body realizes that the decision can be expected most any day. Certainly none is awaiting the court's opinion more eagerly than the river sportsmen, un less, of course, it be the resident of Hardscabble' who is wondering what he shall do—whether he shall look about for another residence or whether he shall take a chance and wait." That the "Hardscrabble" site is the logical place for the location of a municipal boathouse or boathouses is the opinion of many river sportsmen. "When the Cars Are Running" "The site," said one canoeist last evening; ' is pretty nearly qentral, if one considers the growth of the sub urbs. It can readily be reached by trolley—when the cars are running, that is—and the water. I think, is just Ithat1 that v l c 'nity for the launching or the bo^ts. At the gathering of the water en thusiasts Monday evening the question of municipal boat and bathing facili ties were subjects of many an infor mal discussion before and after the business meeting. Incidentally some ideas as to type and location were ex changed. One expressed the opinion that there should be several municipal boathouses. located for the most part in the "Hardscrabble" district if pos sible. and constructed in such a way that the roofs would not project above the level of the park In order that the view from the street be not obstructed. The Municipal Boathouse Erection of several boathouses, In his opinion, would provide a chance to organize boat clubs for the houses and thus increase the spirit of rivalry. Another enthusiast suggested that one of the larger dwellings which are in the condemned "Hardscrabble" sec tion might be renovated by the city in such a way as to offer ample facilities at comparatively little expense and without loss of much time. Still an other opinion advanced was for the construction of a spacious municipal boathouse with ample runways, plenty of lockers and boat racks, a big room or hall for boat club meetings, and so on. and with ample space on the roof for observation and recreation. The City is Ready That the city will proceed with the filing of bonds against the condemned properties just as soon as the Dauphin county courts hand down the "Hard scrabble" opinion is generally under stood in municipal circles. That will mean, of course, that raz ing of the buildings will be started as soon as the bonds are approved and City Commissioner W. H. Lynch, It is understood, is to go ahead with the removal of the buildings. The. city, however, has planned to turn over all the material from the buildings, in cluding lumber, bricks, stone, etc., to the owners who want it. with the un '"•rstanding that they move it away.

Sen ator Penrose attempted to have print ed as a Congressional document, at public expense, the series of advertise ments which the Bethlehem Steel Company has printed in opposition to the Government Armor Plate bill. "They're instructive," argued Sena tor Penrose. "Let the Steel Company pay for the printing from the profits they've made from government armor contracts for two decades," objected Senator Reed, of Missouri. "They are so enlightening that I shall read them into the Congressional Record," said Senator Penrose, after Senator Reed had formally invoked Senate rules to prevent the printing of the advertisements as a separate document. Senatpr Penrose pointed to a pile of the ads on his desk. He will read them into the record as part of a speech against the bill. Senator Taggart, of Indiana, broke the apparently solid Democratic ranks for the bill. He asked Senator Swan son. in charge of tne bill, if it had been proved the government could manufacture more cheaply than the private firms. If not, he said-, he op posed the proposea 111,000,000 ap propriation. Senator Swanson said naval experts favored the government plant. On a point of order discussion was post poned after Senator Oliver had given notice of an amendment to strike the armor plant from the bill. Expect Early Settlement of Pittsburgh Coal Strike Pittsburgh, Ju)y 19. Settlement of the strike of six thousand bitumin ous coal miners in the Allegheny and Kisklminitas valleys Is expected late to-day when representatives -of the United Mine Workers of America con fer with members of the Pittsburgh Coal Operators' Association. Other scattering strikes but of smaller proportions in district No. 5 are expected to be ended as soon as John L. Lewis, chairman of the In ternational Board Committee returns to Pittsburgh within a day or two. Before starting for Kentucky last night Mr. Lewis said he did not ex pect any more trouble in the Pitts burgh territory because of the accept ance by the miners of the New York ecale. HAY CROP GOES TO HIGHEST FIGURES j . | Immense Yield Is Reported From All Sections of the Key stone Commonwealth One of the finest hay crops that has ever been harvested in Pennsylvania is now being placed away by the State's farmers, and from figures collected by the Bureau of Statistics of the De partment of Agriculture, it is estimat ed at 4,703,400 tons. Last year the estimated hay crop in Pennsylvania was 3,558,000 tons at an average of 1.18 tons to an acre but the condi tions during the past winter and this Spring have been so favorable to the growing of clover and timothy that this average per acre has increased to 1.56 tons to an acre which is decidedly above the ten year average mark. The hay crop in all sections of the State is a big one, only six counties reporting below the average of 100 per cent. These counties are Greene, Juni ata, Montour, Northampton. Northum berland and Snyder and the margin below the average crop is very low. The expected large increase in the acreage planted to potatoes on Key stone State fa/-ms this season has not materialized according to figures gath ered throughout the State. Instead of an increase tnere has been noted a de crease of about three per cent, or I 8,000 acres. The condition of potatoes on July 1 was about 90 per cent, of the average and this indicates a total production in the State of about 18,030,812 bush els this year as com-pared with 20,- 502,000 bushels a year ago. Last year the average production per acre was 75 bushels, but this year, according to present conditions, this average will be reduced to about 68 bushels an acre. These figures may be Increased with the August reports when more detail ed figures upon actual crops can be se cured. Owing to the high price ob tained for potatoes last Fall and win ter it was expected that the acreage would be largely increased, but the wet weather and condition of the ground at planting time made condi tions so unfavorable that the results expected were not obtained. The large crop of Iruit during June reduced the prospects of the apple and peach crops in the State considerably, but from present indications there will be an ample apple crop while the peach crop while only a trifle more than half of 4ast year should produce some exceptional fruit. According to figures gathered by the department the peach crop will be about fifty-five per cent, of a normal yield throughout the State. There aro some counties where very few peaches will be picked from the trees and others where the production is almost up to the normal. Two Amendments Likely to Cause Trouble in Naval Bill Washington, July 15. The hardest fought provisions of the naval bill had been approved when the Senate took up the measure again to-day. Adop tion of the increased building pro gram, left two amendments thought likely to bring determined opposition. One would have the Federal Trade Commisson investigate the armor plate situation, before /he government builds a plant and the other would prohibit use of a United States war ship in Latin-American waters from collecting money due a private indi vidual. ROTARIAXS FORttET BUSINESS By Associated Press Cincinnati, July IS.

POLAND THRIVING UNDER GERMANS Secretary of Interior Says Fields of Standing Grain and Herds of Cows Are Seen By Associated Press Berlin, July 1». —* By Wireless Warm commendation of the work done in Russian Poland by the Germans dur ing the period of occupation was given by Dr. Karl Helffrich, secretary of the Interior, and the Imperial Vice Chan cellor to-day on his return from a visit to that country. Dr. Helffrich, who recounted the im pressions of his visit to a member of the Overseas News Agency staff, con trasted the condition of the country under Russian rule with the state of affairs there to-day. In the time of peace, before the outbreak of the war, the Russians had neglected the coun try, said Dr. Helffrich. Then came the period of hostilities, wniclj devastated the land. Under these conditions the Germans took up their work, which the Vice Chancellor Insisted has been accomplished with a Success which could find few parallels in history. Regiment Gives Horse* The retreating Russians, Dr. Helffrich pointed out, had burned villages and towns and destroyed the harvests. The Germans first built roads through the devastated territory and supplied cat tle and seeds to the inhabitants, with the result that now one frequently could see 'ierds of a hundred or more cattle, while fields of standing grain were on all sides. He cited an instance of aid given the Inhabitants by the Ger mans, the farmers of oni district be ing left the horses of two regiments for field work on orders given by Gen eral Ludendorflf. Dr. Helffrich said he found schools everywhere, now even at places where none were maintained when the Rus sians ruled the country. The University of Warsaw, where lectures were given in the Polish tongue, had a large num ber of students. Jetva Well Treated All nationalities. Dr. Helffrich said, were given equal recognition with the white Russians and Lithuanians. Ter rible suffering existed among the Jews when the Germans arrived, the Vice Chancellor declared, and in most towns they had been excluded from the schools bv the Russians. The Germans, he add ed. introduced self-government In the country for the first time, and admitted Jewish representatives to the govern mental bodies.
