Harrisburg, Pa. 1 ' I HARRISBUTiG TELEGRAPH NEWS OF S SECOND MURDER IN TWO WEEKS Unknown Negro Shoots La borer and Escapes Under Very Nose of Police I Steelton's second murder within a | month was committed last evening wtien an unknown negro shot and > killed George Banks, a colored la ! borer, near Cumbler's Quarries. Although it was only 8 o'clock in the evening, tho hour when the en tire police forco is supposed to be on duty, the murderer, in the recent j crime, made his escape. The other fatal shooting affair oc | curred early on the morning of August ! 10, at 55 2 Iron alley, when Charles Brown was shot by William Jackson, who escaped and has not been appre ; hended. Brown died the following day at 4 o'clock in the afternoon at the Harrlsburg Hospital where he was j removed for treatment. Shortly after the shooting of Banks | last evening, he was removed to the i Emergency Hospital, Swatara street, | where lie died within one hour after i the tragedy occurred. According to the story told by a man who accom | panied Banks when the latter was 1 shot, the two men had just climbed | the hill leading to the railroad track j at the overhead bridge, when, look ing ahead, they noticed a man stand j ing. On approaching the stranger, jthe two men were told to hold up ; their hands, as the stranger wanted I their money. Banks' companion quickly complied jwith the order, but Banks reached one hand back toward his hip pocket and before he could withdraw It, the stranger fired a shot which entered ; the body of Banks between the third ( and fourth ribs four inches from the I hreast bone, pierced his liver, and passed out of the bodv in the back. When the shot was fired, both men fell to the ground, but the injured j man's companion rolled down the I steep bank for some distance. The i gun wielder then made his escape without attempting to rob the two men. | The only, description given the po lice of the man who committed the crime was that he was colored and wore a pair of blue overalls. Banks' companion is being detained by the police for a further investigation. Ready For Festival. —A festival for the benefit of the Side Fire Com pany will be held to-morrow evening.

A number of special features have been arranged for the Sunday School session. Japan Students Strike Against Their Teachers Tokio, Sept. 8. Strikes of pupils igainst their teachers constitute a fea ture of modern Japan which is giving the educational authorities consider ible concern. Previously peaceful re volts of students were confined to the medical schools, but latterly it has :xtended to the middle schools which correspond to the high schools of the t'nited States. The Strikes are usually lue to the pupils' objection to the 'ransfer of a favorite teacher or to 'heir dislike of a new teacher. Ordi larily the Incident is closed up by the emporary suspension of the students. This makes them surrender as they 'ear dismissal which would ruin their •areers In business or professional Ife. A recent strike occurred in Taka >ka. northern Japan, where all the "ourth and fifth year students number ng more than 200 went on a strike ecause they were not satisfied with f he head master. Another recent incident in the pub ic schools was the dismissal of a mid -Ile school teacher owing to his alleg -d dissemination of dangerous thought imong the pupils. It is alleged that he teacher, an instructor in commer •ial school, in the course of a lecture expressed admiration for a historic icrsonage, Taira-no-Masakado. who nade an attempt to overthrow the Im >ertal Throne. When the dismissal was innounced the principal of the school ent in his resignation on the ground hat he was Jointly responsible for ,vhat had been done by his subordi nate HAVE PLAN FOR DREDGING CANAL Bethlehem Steel Company Of ficials Scheme For Deepening Channel Officials of the local steel plant have worked out a plan whereby the mud and culm washed into the old canal will be successfully stopped. It con sist s of a suction dredge and a series of troughs made of one-Inch rough boards, extending from the railroad crossing over the canal at the Cumbler eßtate quarries to the Merchant Hill bridge. The dredge will be stationed at the eastern end of the borough, where the mud will be sucked out of the canal; steam pressure is used to force the mud through the pipe, which will be six inches in diameter. Water, mixed with mud, starts flowing through the pipe toward the bridge, depositing it along the bottom of the trough. When the mud attains a depth of sev eral inches in the trough it is then removed by laborers, when more is pumped into the trough. Frior to the installation of the new plan the mud was removed by labor ers, who shoveled it on a flat boat, lati-r unloaded on a flat car and taken away. The foundation for a new paint shop has been placed at the south end of the bridge and construction depart ment building. This addition will be attached to the main paint shop.

"Meat Prices Will Not Come Down" is the cheerful news that comes from the Department of Agri culture. Meat prices will not worry the man or woman who knows that a Shredded Wheat Biscuit will supply more real body - building nutriment than beefsteak or eggs and at much less cost. Shredded Wheat remains the same price, the same high quality, supplying all « the nutriment a man needs for a half day's work. Two shredded wheat biscuits with peaches and cream or other fruits make a complete, nourishing meal at a cost of not over five cents. Made at Niagara Falls, N. Y. North China Dally News of Shanghai is typical of the English expressions: "America obviously intends to have a big: fleet. What, when it is ready, does she intend to do with it? Presum ably we shall get an answer when wo know what 'undiluted Americanism' means." BANK STATEMENT
