SATURDAY EVENING,
COPELIN DEFENDS SELF;
SHARPLY RAPS CRITICS
[Continued From First Pago]
from the banks on the Water Depart
ment monthly balances, but that the
interest money was credited for busi
ness reasons to the city general fund
instead of to the water fund. As to
the variance in the average rate of
interest paid on the monthly balances
from less than 1 to nearly 2 per cent.,
Copelin gives reasons which Commis
sioner Uorgas to-day corroborated.
The letter from ex-Treasurer Copelln
is as follows:
" have Just within the last ten min
utes received a clipping from the Har
risburg Star-Independent relative to
the report of the company which
audited my accounts and the action
taken by the City Commisslohers
thereon. The tone of this article is
distinctly unfriendly and insinuates
that there has been something crooked
in my office. It is unnecessary for
me to say to you that this is untrue.
"There are two things mentioned by
the newspaper which you probably are
conversant with and can clear up with
out any help from me, but I will re
fresh your mind about them, anyway.
The paper states that prior to 1913
the city received no interest on the
cash in the water fund. In all the
years that I was City Treasurer, up
until, the last one or two years, or,
maybe three years, the interest on the
water department funds was credited,
along with the interest on other city
money, to the city general fund, and
this fact is well known to most, if not
all. city officials.
"It is known to City Clerk Miller,
City Solicitor Seitz and former City
Controller Gough, I am sure; and in
poor George Kennedy's time when he
was water commissioner it was a con
stant joke between him and the other
city officials that instead of giving his
department credit with interest on its
own money we turned the money over
to the city, which needed money more
than the Water Department. Ido not
know whether or not you changed the
method of crediting this interest within
the last couple of years, but at any
rate the city's money during my ad
ministration, whether belonging to the
Water Department, was all bulked so
far a-< bank deposits were concerned
and kept separate only on our books,
and all interest credited direct to the
'city general' fund.
"The other matter to which I take
serious exception is the question as to
the amount of interest collected and
its variation from less than 1 per cent,
to nearly 2 per cent. The interest
which I collected from the banks was
invariably paid by checks and the dis
position of the checks can be verified
by the banks themselves and by the
interest accounts.
"The biggest fool objection which I
note was made was that some can
celed bonds were destroyed and some
were not. It was our custom to destroy
all bonds after they were canceled and
so recorded in my office and in the
office of the City Controller and Com
missioner of Finance and Accounts,
and if some were not destroyed I
would suggest the easiest method of
correcting this omission would be to
destroy them.
"J understand from the auditors' re
port that there are some canceled
bonds missing, only a year or two old,
that, is, canceled only a year or two
ago. Inasmuch as these bonds are
marked canceled both on my books
and on yours, and, no doubt, were
canceled both in my office and in yours,
the matter is of no consequence, but
since a city official took over all the
documents belonging to my office, he
should be in a better position than I
to explain what became of them.
"I just want to say in conclusion
that I am making no excuses for the
conduct of my office, but that 'I am
getting tired of having insinuations
made that I have been stealing from
the city, and when I get back there
wfll be some explanations in order.
''You -may make this letter as public
as you want; read it in Council if you
like, or give it to the newspapers if
you like; I am only concerned that the
facts may be fresh in your memory.
"I forgot to finish about the vari
ation of the interest collected from
the banks. This was caused by the
action of the Sinking Fund Commis
sioners; and, later, during your time,
the llayor, the Commissioner of Ac
counts and Finance and the Treas
urer. During recent years it was im
possible to sell the Harrisburg city 4
j per cent, bonds at par and accrued in
terest as required by Council without
some special concessions to the banks.
"Other cities, such as Philadelphia,
New York, Boston and others, were
forced to pay 4 % per cent, and 5 per
cent, for their money. We, in Harris
burg, were atfle to sell our 4 per cent,
bonds by allowing the Harrisburg
banks, who bought the bonds, to keep
the-money on deposit without paying
interest for certain specified periods,
agreed upon by the Sinking Fund
Commissioners and the banks. I will
trust you to look after these matters
during my absence and look after my
interests as far as possible."
YOUNG FOLKS AT CORXROAST
Special to the Telegraph
Lemoyne, Pa., Aug. 26.—0n Thurs

TO SHOW FOREST FIRE
The Stat* Department of Forestry
has completed arrangements with the
Vitagraph Company of America for the
release of the moving picture of a for
est fire, taken in May on the Mont Alto
State Forest. It will be released in two
reels, and will have its first private
showing at the Victoria Theater, at 10
o'clock Wednesday evening.
SCHOOL BEGINS
AUGUST 28th
Day and Evening Sessions
The Office Training School, Kauf
man Building, 4 S. Market Square,
will begin the Fall Term next Mon
day, August 28th, in both Day School
and Night School.
From one hundred and fifty to two
hundred young people will discover
this year that the management of this
school has been talking to them for
their advantage. They will enter the
school, stay for a few months and
acquire, the training which will even
tually place them in high-salaried of
fice positions.
In the teaching of pupils, it is the
aim of The Office Training School to
give each pupil such a mastery of the
basic principles of the subject he or
she is studying that nervousness can
not be felt in regard to that subject
for the simple reason that it is so thor
oughly well mastered.
A student drilled on this plan has a
wonderful competitive advantage, as
probably nine-tenths of positions lost
are lost through nervousness not per
mitting the otherwise capable appli
cant from making the demonstration
he or she should, and of which they
are quite capable.—Advertisement.

ceeded in penetrating them.
Subsequently they were driven out,
Paris declares.
I'nablc to Make Gains
This attack followed quickly upon
an assault by the Germans on the
' point of the St. Mihiel salient, south
j east of Verdun, which the French re
| pelled by a counter attack, and was
1 carried out simultaneously with at
tacks in the region of Verdun itself
and along the Somme front.
The point selected for the Verdun
offensive was betw'een Fleury and
Thiaumont, where the French scored
their recent advance. The Germans,
although they subjected the French
lines to a heavy bombardment, were
unable to make any gain, according to
Paris.
. On the Somme the German counter
thrust was directed at Hill 121, near
Maurepas, past which village the
French have hammered their way in
the attempt to envelop Clery and clear
the road north of the river to Peronne.
This attack also was repulsed, the
Paris bulletin declares.
Much Activity in Balkans
Military activity is developing in the
Balkans.
Sofia reports an important victory
over the Serbians on the Bulgarian
right wing and announces that on the
other flank the Bulgarians have
reached the Greek Aegean coast.
Balkan political developments are be
ing followed with intense interest, par
ticularly the attitude of Rumania,
Difpatches to-day indicate further
military preparations by this kingdom,
including an increase of the extraor
dinary credit for the army by
200.000,000 francs.
Vienna claims the checking of Rus
sian attempts to advance in the Car
pathians toward the Hungarian bor
der, but Petrograd asserts that further
gains in this region has been made by
the Russians.

L rate according to officials.
the school board in session yesterday
afternoon.
To Issue $1,190,000 Bonds
The entire expense of the change Is
to be provided for by a bond issue of
$1,190,000 if the board adopts the
committee proposition. The bond is
sue will be submitted to the voters at
the November election.
The recommendations for the ex
penditure of the 11,190,000 to provide
adequate high school facilities'in the
city, were made by A.- Carson Stamm,
president of the board, and F. E.
Downes, city superintendent of
schools, after a careful study of the
recommendations in the Van Sickle
report. The plan, if carried out ac
cording to the Van Sickle report, will
meet the needs of high school condi
tions in the city for the next ten
years. It provides for the adoption of
the junior high school system in the
city, with one in the West End, one
centrally located, and one on Allison
Hill.
In the West End dirt?rlct. the plan
calls for an addition to the Camp Cur
tin school to be used for the junior
high school there.
Junior Schools Co-Ed
The Junior high schools will be co
educational aiid two grammar grades
and the first year of the high school
course will be included. The boys'
high school and the girls' high school
will be use to accommodate 1,000 pu
pils each in the three upper classes
of that course.
The report of Dr. Downes and Pres
ident Stamm included a sketch of
both the surveys of the experts, Dr.
James H. Van Sickle of Springfield,
Mass., and Dr. Henry Snyder, of Jer
sey City.
Dr. Van Sickle in his report urges
that the new girls' building contain
complete and modern equipment for
every need. As the report of Dr. Sny
der only provided for high school
needs until 1918. while the report of
Dr. Van Sickle is applicable for needs
until 1926, the latter was used large
ly to base the recommendations upon
for board action.
In discussing the co-educational
policy and the junior high school ques
tion, it was shown that throughout the
country the junior high schools are
being Introduced with success, and
that the only way to form a practical
solution of the high school problem in
Harrisburg will be to separate the
boys and girls in the last thrfee years
of their course.
To Meet "Citizens' Committee''
The introduction of Latin into the
course at the Technical high school,
Should the new system be adopted, Will
probably be provided for. The reoony
mendations of President Stamm and
Superintendent Downes having been
adopted by the high school committee
will be considered next Thursday aft
ernoon at 3 o'clock, at a meeting with
a "citizens' committee" composed of
A. D. Bacon, W. M. Donaldson, Fran
cis J. Hall. E. Heffelfinger and Wil
liam Jennings.
The necessity for immediate action
was pointed out, and it was explained,
will not require an Increase in the
present school tax rate. Every need
of both grade and high schools in the
city was carefully worked out, and the
adoption of the Van Sickle plan and
the passage of the loan will also help
grade school conditions. At present
there are no vacant rooms in any
building in Allison Hill, and unless
the high school plan is adopted, a new
grade school will he needed there
within a short. Only eight rooms are
vacant in the West End and these will
soon be filled, which will mean an
other grade school for that section.
Junior high schools, however, will
remove this necessity as the present
building will be used for six grades
only, instead of eight—the present sys
tem. The other two grades will be in
cluded in the junior high school
course. This will relieve crowded
conditions in the entire city for years,
and in the opinion of school experts
will be the best solution to present
conditions.
