Young, who, with the State's Chief Executive and I Superintendent S. B. Rambo, repre sented the Board of Public Grounds and Buildings: Spencer C. Gilbert and Samuel Kunkel, Capitol Park Exten sion Commission: President E. S. Her ' man. Secretary B. F. Umberger, George A. Shreiner and Francis Jordan Hall, representing the City Planning Com : mission; William B. Ball, private sec retary to the Governor, and ex-Post | master E. J. Stackpole. Governor Brumbaugh and his asso ciates in the State Government have definite and fixed opinions upon how the old and new sections of the park should be treated. They believe that the problem is one for the considera tion of the State and the city and all have been impressed with the energy and initiative of the city in this mat * ter. Powell Opposes Walnut St. Bridge Auditor General Powell, who is a member of the Board of Public Grounds and Buildings, on the eve of his departure for Pittsburgh to partici pate in the mustering out of the Tenth Regiment, of which he is Adjutant, said that he would make an effort to ] be here for the conference and hoped ( to be present. Continuing Auditor General Powell said: "I am very much opposed to the building of an overhead bridge at i Walnut street of such a nature as to ! shut oft the view from passing trains ;on the Reading and Pennsylvania Railroad lines. I believe that the ; park should be so constructed that all street cars could pass over what Is ' now Fourth street or be routed by way of the fringe of the park adjoin j ing the railroad." Extension of Capitol? General Powell also expressed the j view that the growth of the State will require an extension of the Capitol or the building of separate units to house |the new bureaus and departments and | provide for the growth of the old. "My own opinion," he continued, "is | that this could best be done by ex tending the main floor of the two wings across Fourth street toward the ! railroad, making what is now State street a portico or court." He said these were details to be worked out by the employment of expert architects (and landscape designers. He express ed the thought that the three bodies which met to-day should act Jointly "with a patriotic desire for the im provement of the State Capitol and ' the Capitol City." Brumbaugh and Young Interi-Med Governor Brumbaugh and State Treasurer Young have also given earnest study to the problems in ' volved. They also are strongly op ' posed to the proposed Walnut street bridge and will do everything within their power to prevent its erection. The conference to-day Is expected to result In definite action looking to the employment of H landscape architect 'who will submit a plan that will meet ' with the approval of the Legislature, i'i'hls plan will involve the widening of ; Walnut, Third and North streets so j as to give proper perspective and pro jvlde ample space for the frequent : ceremonial occasions on Capitol Hill. It has been (suggested that instead of the present sidewalks provision 1 for pedestrians be made along North, ! Third and Walnut street* under the trees of the park fit the top of the short terrace leading to the streets, i Tor Instance, the present brick side wall: in Third streot could be elimin i at'.'d and thus give the narrow street ja considerable width, the terrace be : Ing supported by a short coping from j Walnut to North streets. This ar | rangement would also save most of the important treee. Use State Students' Data An a result of the survey of the whole area of the Capitol Perk by students of the State College, tho conference to-day was able to make in Intimate study of tho whole proposition. A gineral rogradlng of I ihe eld Capitol Perk will be necessary ! to conform to the newer section be tween tho Pennsylvania Railroad and j*br> Cap'ltol. Just how the trolley i lines will be arranged Is a matter to which the conference gave con ■ aideration. but whloh will hit finally . - v < ■ - " c • ' ' ' - • HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH! worked out by the landscape architect who shall be selected. One suggestion is that the cars be run through a cut along Fourth street so that there will be no obstruction of the view between the Capitoi and the railroad lines. Another proposition is to provide for street railway lines through the park near the railroad right of way. Two Approaches to Bridge Whether the State will favor a sub way at State street or an ornamental viaduct with two approaches, one on North and the other on Walnut street is still undetermined. A number of those who once favored the subway plan are now disposed to look with favor upon the viaduct as a more satisfactory scheme to accommodate the traffic of the Allison Hill district. However, these are all matters to be finally worked out in further con sideration of the problem. PLEASURE FIRST! Y'UNDERSTAND ME [Continued Prom First Page] missed your chance, for the chieftains of Harrisburg's police are scheduled to return this evening. So beware, Mr. Burglarman, even though they haven't caught you yet, "you understand*me," they know who you are, and they're hoping to get you sometime. And when they catch you, prepare for the wrath of a pent-up detective and po lice force. Alas! A GrieTous Error As it has always been the policy of this newspaper to tell the truth, It must apologize both to the defective bureau and the Harrisburg public. Two days ago a statement was printed that there have been three score of robberies in the city since June. The Telegraph to-day learns from a very reliable source of information that it was mistaken and here retracts that statement and makes this correction -—tJiere have been 112 robberies. Investigating robberies is a big job, "you understand me," but assurance is given at police headquarters that they've all been investigated, and the guilty parties are even suspected. On top of all this, comes the intima tion that the burglars are thoroughly acquainted with the worKings of the night force of the department and know when the officers in various dis tricts call in from the patrol boxes. Burglars Have Inside Tips? It is stated on good authority that if one of the detectives is assigned to watch in a certain section of the city, it is an absolute certainty that no rob beries will be committed in that vi cinity while the sleuth is on duty. On one occasion an officer was detailed to one section of the city. Later, it is said, another matter turned up and he was removed. Shortly afterward a number of burglaries were committed in that vicinity. Similar coincidences which have oc curred recently are furnishing officials much food for thought, and hints of investigations are in the air. Officials in the present administration have adopted a number of new systems in handling traffic, and in detailing po lice. One of them, in speaking of the sit uation. declared that the best and most intelligent men on the force, who could give the detective bureau the best assistance, are detailed for traffic duty, are on day assignments during the entire year. That the night force should be composed of the same kind of men, and also in creased. was the solution offered by this official. Wetzel at a Disadvantage When Chief of Police Wetzel, re ceived his promotion from lieutenancy ho stepped Into official control of the police force, when it was admitted even at headquarters, to lack organi zation. Improvements have been made and the chief set about to straighten out the difficulties and re move the contention between uniform ed men and detectives. Working at a disadvantage because of tho state of affairs when he tock over the reigns, he Is spending much of his time try ing to get results. Tho chief has open ly hinted that something 13 needed or perhaps not needed—and that once ho gots permission from Mayor Meals I there wIU be some big changes. BAYONNE LIKE AN ARMED CAMP [Continued From First Page] 100 policemen were stationed in a tire enginehouso guarding the plants from attack while a other police men and 75 deputy sheriffs held possession of the main police head quarters. 12,000 Men Idle There were no signs of a cessation of the labor war which caused the clash yesterday of police and strikers in which one woman spectator was shot and killed and fifteen or twenty strikers were wounded. This fight occurred, according to the police, when the strikers interfered with the firemen attempting to fight a blaze. Despite the disorder which prevail ed all yesterday, with mobs attacking a railroad station and police head quarters, the city and State author ities decided there was no need of call ing out the National Guard. About 12,000 men have .quit work in various plants at Constable Hook and virtually have besieged the police in headquarters and fire stations. The police were able to move about the city only in groups, generally making sallies in automobiles and returning immediately to suppress minor out breaks. RIVER FRONT IS UNEQUALED FOR BEAUTY [Continued From First Page] the lower walk went along the river's edge for a greater part of the 'steps." It was just at sunset and Mr. Knox was delighted with the River Front. "This city has certainly progressed. I recall coming here when I was first, elected to the Senate and I greatly ad mired the River Front then," said he. "But since you have improved the riverside I do not know of any river front in the world that equals this. The treatment is unique and it is most attractive. Your people ought to cover the slope between the lower walk and the top of the bank with shrubbery so that there will be some thing in bloom all the time. The river here Is beautiful. Its Islands and the mountains form a splendid picture and you have every reason to be proud of your situation. Mr. Knox was entertained at dinner at the Harrisburg club by Mr. Woods, a few persona) friends of the Secre tary of the Commonwealth being in vited to meet him. This morning Mr. Woods accompanied Mr. Knox and Colonel Strayer to Greensburg byway of the Cumberland Valley. Mr. Knox said that ne looked for ward to his visit here on the twenty fifth when he will deliver an address. $1,100,000 SHELL CONTRACT LOADED [Continued From First Pane] •— 'there were three lower bidders, but the Navy Department investigated the conditions at tho other plants and concluded that they were not In po sition to get steel and make deliv eries. Inasmuch as the Harrisburg Pipe and Pipe Bending company manufacturers its own steel and has a fine reputation the contract was plac ed here. This order will require about ten months to complete in connection with other contracts now on hand and about the first of January the force will be considerably increased. Owing to existing contracts work on the order cannot be 3tartcd before the first of the year.
