COL YELLS WITH DELIGHT AT SHOW Roosevelt Acts Like Boy at Cir cus During Wild West Performance New York, Aug. 9. Colonel Roosevelt had the time of his life yes terday at Sheepshead Bay Speedway, where a series of Far West contests were staged. He mingled freely with cowboys and cowgirls, borrowed a Sombrero and rode upon a cowpony, snapped yarns with the old-time Westerners whom he met and said to the newspaper men present: "An extraordinary spectacle, by George! Typically American and wonderfully done! Tnese boys are not too proud to fight!" Yelling with delight, chuckling and cheering, his ardent personality reach ed out over the track and infield and spurred the contestants on to feats even more thrilling than usual. Like Boy at Circus At 5 o'clock he telephoned home to hold his dinner until 8 o'clock or later, that he was goh:g to stay until the finish. After the contests were over the Colonel, popped up on a pony, rode around, talked with the boys and didn't leave for home until 7.30. Like a boy at his first circus was the Colonel. Beside him sat Mrs. Luella Irwin Jones, who as Luella Irwin won at Cheyenne last year the title of champion lady relay rider of the world. "This is the greatest show of its kind I have ever eeen," said the Colonel afterward. "It is the real Western stuff, like the Cheyenne show, only much bigger and with more champions and better contestants. Ford Delegate Tells Wilson of Peace Efforts; Germany in Most Receptive Mood By Associates Press Washington, Aug. 9. Miss Emily G. Blach, the remaining American delegate to the Neutral Conference for Continuous Mediation established by Henry Ford, conferred with President Wilson to-day and told him of the efforts of the conference to arouse peace sentiment among the belligerent nations of Europe. She was not op timistic on the prospects for immedi ate peace but said negotiations might be started this Fall or winter. Miss Blach said Mr. Ford was hope ful of obtaining the services of Will iam J. Bryan on the conference at the conclusion of the presidential cam paign. Public opinion in Germany, she de clared, showed a stronger tendency toward peace than la any other bellig erent nation. "The terms each wll demand," she added "are not so far apart after all and are likely to be just about the same next year as this year." Will Tell President Wilson About County Controller H. W. Gough In his mail this morning County Controller H. W. Gough got a tip by postcard that President Wilson will get him If he doesn't watch out. The postal was from one Abram R. Brinser, one of the county's depend ents who regularly receives $3 weekly flfrom the poor board.

SECOND TRY AT SHIPPING BILL Administration Makes Another Attempt to Get Measure; Congress Wants to Quit By Associated Press Washington, Aug. 9. The second attempt of the administration to create a government shipping board to undertake rehabilitation of the Am erican Merchant Marine began in the Senate to-day under conditions in marked contrast to those which char acterized the hotly fought losing struggle in the last Congress. With Democrats united on the amended bill and no party revolt in prospect such as accomplished defeat of the bill before, interest in the issue was apathetic. Senator Simmons no tified his colleagues that he had little to say that had not been said before and that he would not regard it as a discourtesy if senators left the cham ber to attend other business. Wunt Early Adjournment Informal conferences of Republi cans and Democrats early in the day regarding the prospect of adjournment of Congress disclosed that Republicans were anxiou3 to dispose of the ship ping bill and all other pending legis lation as rapidly as possible. Senator Harding who will direct opposition to the shipping bill for the minority said he thought the bill should be dis posed of In less than a week. Senator Kern informed him that a sincere ef fort would be made to dispose of all pending business so that Congress might adjourn by September 1. Sen ator Harding explained that the Re publicans hoped that adjournment might be reached as early as August 26. The Republicans, he said, had no set program of procedure in con nection with the shipping bill and in his opinion there would be few long opposition speeches. Leaders of both sides ,it was disclosed, have been urged by campaign leaders to hasten adjournment and demands are pour ing into senators to get into the nat ional political fight as soon as pos sible. In urging the shipping bill Senator Simmons outlined the great need of the country for commercial preparedness hand in hand with mili tary preparedness. STRIKING~CARMEN STICK TO UNION [Continued From First Pago] present Jitney ordinance. Yesterday, the leaders said. 115 signers were ob tained in two hours, and during the next ten days more than 1,700 names will be solicited. The first petition was filed this afternoon with City Clerk Charles A. Miller. In case Council makes the changes asked for in the petition, the strikers nay, they will ot>tain jitneys, take out licenses, furnish bonds and establish a jitney service with routes and schedules to all parts of the city. Fifteen wives of striking carmen called at the office of Mayor Meals last night and remair.ed in conference with him for two hours. They then went to the offices of tlio Harisburg Railways Company in an effort to see President Musser, but were met by Superintend ent of Transportation Felix M. Davis. Between sobs the women told Mayor Meals of the conditions existing in their homes because of the long hours that their husbands worked. The women thanked the Mayor for receiv ing them and said that a larger dele gation will probably call upon him later. Strikers Parade To-night Chief of Police Zeil announced this morning that to-morrow will be the last day for unlicensed jitneys and that all drivers operating on Friday without licenses will be arrested. Strikers and sympathizers will parade to-night, forming at Front and Market btreeta, marching to Seventeenth, to Derry, to Thirteenth, to Market, to Market Square and dismiss. Five are Injured Five persons were injured shortly after midnight when the last car on the Vine street line crossed the Dock street bridge returning to the Square. Sympathizers hurled stones through the windows. Two of those Injured gave their names as Thomas Ryan and George W. Wood; and were taken to the Harisburg Hospital for treatment The pcllce are investigating. Organization of the Journeymen tailors will be started to-night at the offices of the State Federation of La bor by E. Jacobs, organizer for the national federation. To-morrow night big mass meetings will be held in Mar ket Square, at Second and Rupp streets, Highspirt, and at Union and Emaus streets, Middletown. Speakers will be strikers, strike leaders and labor organizers who are in the city. Vice-President J. J. Thorpe, of the striking carmen, declared this morn ing that the loyal union men have lost their former foeling of respect for the men who deserted the organization to return to work. "They are worse than strike-breakers," he averred. Moore Praises Thorpe The Telegraph has received the fol lowing letter with the request that it be published: To the Editor of the Telegraph: August Bth, .1916. It has come to my attention that the Mayorf of Harrisburg has stated that Mr. J. J. Thorpe, who is Vice- President of the Street Car Men's Union was not a resident of Pittsburgh and that he had been dishonest in his dealings with the traction workmen of Pittsburgh. Mr. Thorpe has been a resident of Pittsburgh for many years. Three years ago he was a candidate for Con gress on the Washington Party ticket, from the 31st Congressional district. I have not always agreed with him in everything he did, but I want to say that in my thirty-five years of ex perience in the newspaper business— as a reporter, editor and publisher, I hav come in contact with many men In the labor cause and I unhesitat ingly say that Mr. J. J. Thorpe is the most honest and competent man that I have ever met In my dealings with labor. Mr. Thorpe has been connected with the street car men's union in Pitts burgh for many years past and through his wise counsel and hard work, the trolley employes of Pitts burgh are thoroughly satisfied with conditions. "I £an unhesitaUngly say that Mr. Thorpe is above suspicion—unques- tionably—and it is a great pleasure for me to testify to his honesty and integrity. I think the Harrisburg trolley employes are very fortunate in having a man such as he is, con nected with their fight as he is ab solutely fair in his dealing with his associates and the people with whom he comes In contact. "If you will publish this letter, I will consider it a favor, Yours very truly, A. P. MOORE, Editor and Publisher, The Pittsburgh Leader.

Park Commissioner E. Z. Gross, it is understood, had only been awaiting the removal of the legal barrier by the State before proceeding. STATE APPROVES RIPRAP SCHEME [Continued From First Page] of the slope where necessary until the toe of the embankment is flush with the eastern edgci of the granolithic walk. From tho edge of the walk to a point about nine feet abo\te the face of the slope is to be sustained and strengthened by ripra,pping. Tons of stone for this purpose will be brought from the masses that are stored In the meadows at tho almshouse, stone that had been cut from the new parkway drive. The funds for this improvement, it is expected, will, of course, be taken from the park improvement loan and Commissioner E. Z. Gross will confer with City Solicitor Seitz within a day or two relative to shaping up the nec essary authority. The loan fund con tains sufficient balance to complete this permanent Improvement, as there is not enough on hand to build the proposed subway beneath the Phila delphia and Reading tracks east of the Almshouse lane even if the railroad company gives permission. The State's action this afternoon, of course, removes the final legal obstacle and Harrisburg Is anxiously and ex pectantly looking forward to an early start on the improvement. The commission also passed favor ably on the application to permit the Central Iron and Steel Company to straighten its line of cinder embank ment south of Iron alley for a distance of 3,000 feet along the river. The "fill" that will be use! will extend one to twenty feet in ptaxes into the stream. This will straighten out the irregulari ties and will preserve the uniformity of Jine.

Secretary Lane of the Interior De partment, will head the American commission, supported by Associate Justice Louis D. Brandeis, of the Su preme Court and a third commis sioner whose name will be announced later. Formal announcement that the United States and Mexican govern ment had reached an agreement for discussion of differences by a Joint commission was made by Acting Sec retary of State Polk. Await Acceptance Announcement of the appointment of the commission was delayed to-day only to await acceptance from the third man asked by President Wilson to serve. The Mexican members al ready have been designated, and Eliseo Arredondo, General Carranza's ambassador designate, has been au thorized to arrange with Acting Sec retary Polk details as to time and place of meeting. Mr. Arredondo called at the State Department during the day and gave further assurances of the willingness of the de facto government to have the scope of the commission's discus sions as broad as the United States desires. General Carranza prefers that withdrawal of American troops from Mexico and steps to prevent border troubles be taken up flrst but Mr. Arredondo said he would not ob ject to having other questions con sidered. It is regarded as probable that the meetings will be held at some resort on the New Jersey coast. Guardsmen in Better Health Than Regulars By Associated Press Washington, Aug. 9. National Guardsmen on the Mexican border are in far better health than the average youngster at home. War Department officials believe on the basis of the re ports. It was pointed out to-day that never in the history of extensive mili tary mobilizations has there been any such showing as that made for the week ended August 5, when, accord ing to the report of the army surgeons to General Scott, chief of staff, the sick rates of the militiamen was only 1.14 per thousand. This was far better than that of the regular troops where the sick rate was 2.45 per thousand. This fact Is ex plained by the surgeons as due to the long stay of the regulars in the South ern climate. STEELTOX PERSONALS Robert Vale, of Philadelphia, vis ited friends in the borough to-day.

Solon Barr, a noted tenor soloist and athlete of the borough followed with a horizontal bar act which almost took the breath from the audience. An equine act by Clark and Eckenrode in which hurdle jumping and a cake walk were the features, elicited rounds of applause. Michael Colbert, Frank Brashears and Sylvester Smothers, as clowns, had it all over such funmakers usually found In the large traveling circus. The headline act at the close of the circus performance consisted of acrobatic stunts by Runkle broth ers, aged 8 and 9 years respectively.

The two latter excelled any previous public efforts in their fun making proclivities. Several fine plantation songs were sung by the chorus composed of Messrs. Noll, Ludes, Purcell, the end men and the interlocutor under the direction of Dr. Gallagher, a new resident of the borough. The Minstrels were ably assisted by a string orchestra under direction of Frank Wieger, Jr. The circus and minstrel tents are pitched on the church grounds, while in Second street were placed booths for the sale of candy, jewelry, teddy bears, doll and cane racks and peanut stands.

I look for this new Legalist party in Mexico to be the redeemers of their country, and I think they are the ones to rule. There are the governors of northern Mexico and all are friendly to us. I believe they will get control without any trouble, and Wall Street is backing this party. I believe they will accede to our demands and we will withdraw Pershing and the thing will be settled."
