CONVENTION Fresh From Grief-Stricken Home, Former President Is Chief Figure at Meeting By Associated Press Convention Hall, Saratoga .Springs, X. V., July 18.—Patriotism and a genuine expression of heartfelt sym pathy for the saddened family of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, which had just given a beloved son and brother to the cause for which his country is lighting, was the feature of to-day's opening session of the Republican state convention. Fresh from a grief-stricken home. Colonel Roosevelt, laying aside per sonal feeling, was the principal speaker on the day's program. Con sequently, the rival factions declared a temporary truce in their struggle for partisan supremacy and gave the daj over to a rousing reception to the bereaved father and to enthusi astic patriotic, demonstrations. A plea for party unity in this time of war, an unqualified indorsement of the war record •of Governor Charles S. Whitman and a declara tion that his administration has been "clean, efficient and utterly without scandal," and a most elo quent enunciation of patriotic prin ciples. marked the "keynote" ad dress to-day of former Representa ti\e J. Sloat Fassett, temporary chairman of the Republican state convention. Mr. Fassett said the Re publican party had stood sol'dly be hind President Wilson in his war policies and that Republican repre sentatives and Senators "have sup ported the President and the ad ministration better than the mem bers of his party." After cordially welcoming the newly-enfranchised women into Re publican ranks, Mr. Fassett, in part, said: "We have a right to be proud of the record of our parly in Washing ton. Our representatives have sup ported the President and the admin istration better than his own parly supported him. Our Republi cans representing us have illustrated that the war is bigger than any party. After all, we are of one com mon mind on the great underlying principles. We differ only in minor matters in the manner of applying the accepted principles." front of about 25 miles, and made progress at. certain points of between a mile and a half and two miles, the war office announced to-day. The situation on the Marne and Cham paign fronts is unchanged. Early in the movement prisoners take in the advance began com ing in. The northern point of the front of attack is Fontenow. nearly a mile north of the river Aisne. In the fighting on the front of the German offensive, the French last night stopped the Germans in the face of violent attacks which the enemy launched, southwest of Nan teuil-la-Fosse, between the Marne and Rheims. On the front beyond Rheims, east of the Vesle river, an attack by German guard units was completely repulsed. French Make Progress London. July 18.—News received in London indicates the attack start ed by the French this morning on the front between Chateau Thierry and Soissons is on a considerable scale. The attack was believed to be making good progress. Advices this afternoon said the Germans made no further attacks east of Rheims and that the French at various points on the front had regained ground. The French, che report states have recaptured Montvoison, south of the Marne, at the point where the Ger mans had advanced furthest toward Epernay and Chene-la-Reine, to the west, and took as well the heights west of those villages, overlooking the Marne. The Germans are reported to have made slight progress north of St. Agnan, in the district to the south west of Dormans, below the Marne, but their progress here has been slow. The maximum penetration of the French lines since July J 5 is six miles, according to the latest re ports. I.ondon, July 18—In fighting north of the Marne the Italians have re taken the village of Clairizet, two miles northeast of Bligny, the advices add.

The mill and machinery, with the exception of the boiler, are la total loss. Large piles of lumber nearby were saved. JUDGE KUNKEL'S THREE DECISIONS ARE AFFIRMED Supreme Court Overrules Ap peals Taken From Dau phin County Three decisions by President Judge | George Kunkel, two in Important i state tax cases and a third in a mandamus action, were affirmed by the State Supreme Court. In each of the tax cases the order of the higher court was given in one sen tence as follows: "This judgment is affirmed on the opinion of the learn ed court below directing it to be en tered," while in the mandamus ac tion the appeal was dismissed at the cost of the appellant. One of the appeals was in the case of Commonwealth vs Semet-Solvay Company, in Judge Kunkel ruled that the company was liable for state tax on money deposited in banks outside the state and also for fun/is which were received in payment for work done in other states. The company contended it could not be taxed for these amounts but Judge Kunkel's decision to the contrary was affirmed. The second tax case was Common wealth vs. Harrisburg Light and Power Company. Judge Kunkel in this case handed down an opinion *.:iat the company was not taxable for funds received in furnishing steam bent but only for money received in jts electrical business. Upon appeal by the state the Supreme Court af firmed the decision given here. In the third action, a mandamus proceeding by the borough council of Gettysburg against the State High way Commissioner, the attempt was made to compel the state to repair a road in the borough of Gettysburg which was formerly a turnpike and had been bought by the state. Judge Kunkel's decision in the case was that the State Highway Commission er, under present laws, was not com peted to have the road repaired in the borough limits. His order re fusing a writ of mandamus against the Highway Commissioner was af firmed and the appeal dismissed by the higher court. Window Boxes Bloom in Attractive Fashion Not since the Telegraph building was lirst decorated several years ago with window boxes front the lirst floor to the seventh, has the floral picture been quite so attractive as this year. Many persons have stop ped to admire the beautiful flowers and vines and it is a pleasure to the Telegraph management to feel that this feature is so generally appre ciated. The blooming plants art particularly pleasing at this time and we -shall be glad to have all the friends of this newspaper enjoy them while at their best. "Work or Fight" Order Sends Loafers to Work West Fnirview, July 18.—Constable Albert J. Shaull stated to-day that it was not necessary to make any ar rests on the new "work or fight" or ' der as ten idlers or loafers which made this town their home, went to work without a word after they had been notified of the new order. Con stable Shaull said he was compelled to threaten to place two of the num ber in the borough lockup. This threat brought the right result, as all the men went to work. HIGH SCHOOL CARNIVAL Ivemoyne, July 18.—The Lemoyne High School Association is making plans for a street carnival to be held some time next month. Preliminary arrangements are in charge of a gen eral committee appointed at a recent meeting. The affair will be somewhat similar to the Red Cross event held here recently and will be held In Hummel avenue. Committees for the various branches of work will be ap pointed later. WEDNESDAY HALF HOLIDAY West Fairvlew, July 18.—Wednes day being a half-holiday, all the-lo cal stores were closed yesterday. Re cently the merchants of the borough in a joint meeting decided to close the stores on Wednesday instead of Thursday, as had been the custom heretofore. All merchants have been joining in the move and the half holiday period will expire late in the summer.

USE ROAD AS SPEEDWAY West Fairview, Pa., July 18.— Since repairs to Second street and the state road through the borough have been completed. Constable Albert J. Shaull reports that the street is be ing used for a speedway by some automobile drivers. Up to this time Constable Shaull said that no arrests have been made, but if the practice continues arrests will be made in wholesale lots, as was the case last summer. Several owners have been notified about speeding but none i arrested. * HAIWRIBBtTRG TELEGRAPH INSPECTION PARTY FINDS BAD CONDITION [Continued from First I'agc.] as a whole Harrisburg people well may be proud o ftheir city. But there are sorespots that must be healed; there is evil that must be corrected. There are districts in Harrisburg, where living conditions are bad beyond description. Bad is too mild an adjective; horrible is the term. Dr. Raunick ns Escort Yesterday Dr. Raunick, city health officer, who has been urging for years the adoption of a model hous ing code, accompanied a Telegraph ropresentatfve > it-rough several of the worst localities. What they saw fairly sickened the little party. The found rooms without win dows. halls that never see the light of day. cellars full of water, houses without cellars, families housed in one and two tiny rooms unfit for human habitation, sewers that have been stopped up for weeks, build ings made largely of scraps of wood and tin gathered from the public dumps, whole groups of houses with only an outside hydrant and no run ning water inside; "apartments" over stables and over garages in which gasoline is stored, and filth beyond description. The party found families with fairly good incomes living in sur roundings that by comparison would make Hogan's Alley look like a Paris boulevard; not that all of them want to live that way, but he cause they are comparative new comers and can find no houses in Harrisburg for rent within their means. Rents for these shacks are ns high as they ought to be for good houses, in many cases, and one of the evils, encountered in this re spect is subleasing, the owner per mitting an agent to lease the build ing for a reasonable sum and then renting it out by the room at figures beyond belief. Ten dollars a month for a single room with one window, no light, no water and only outside toilet, is not the highest rental en countered by any manner of means. Near Heart of Town The first stop was made in Cow den street, just north of Strawberry where there are several run-dowri disreputable appearing "apartment" houses. An intelligent colored man who said he had resided in the Eighth ward for many years, told l lie investigators that he lived on Ihe top floor of No. 16 Cowden stieet, which is Un attic room with sloping roof ventilated with one small window. "I pay $lO a month for my room, with a bed, a bureau and a chair thrown in," he explained "The place is dirty and unfit for human habitation, but I have no p,^e .S lse , to BO ' 1 eat m >' meals with the family for whom I work, others who live in even worse rooms than I, without air in summer or heat in winter, do their cooking in their rooms on oil stoves. Ten dol lars for a single robm of the kind is pretty high; don't you think so? The house is owned by a Steelton man and sublet by a woman who lives in Steelton." The sumo man piloted the inspec tors to Strawberry street, just around the corner, where conditions are even worse. These buildings are old and reconstructed so as to Rive a maximum number of rooms with out regard to light, air or privacy. A family may have as many rooms as it can afford. Here the health officers were shown toilets that had been stopped up for several weeks and water in cellars that reached at times halfway from floor to ceil ing. The place was like a pigpen although the interiors of some of the rooms showed efforts on the part of the colored people who live there to keep them as clean as the sur roundings will permit. The apart ments are dark and dingy and the halls without light. The steps are narrow and shaky and glass in the few windows that exists is in many cases smashed. "Rotten," said Or. Raunick. as he inspected conditions, "but much better than when we got after them six months ago." Many families live in these houses under conditions b<}und to result in disease, immorality and crime of all sorts. In Capitol Street Strange as it may seem, one of the worst housing conditions in the city exists in Capitol street right in the heart of a district surrounded by fine types of houses occupied by prosperous people who have com plained again and again with no re sults against a continuance of the nuisance. The four-story brick house at 802 Capitol street has been transformed into what its owner designates as an ' apartment house." It looks as though it might be a relic of the San Francisco earthquake so far as the interior is concerned. It was once a high-class residence. It is well built and capable of £>eing trans formed into a really desirable dwell ing place. At present it is unsani tary, dark, filthy and run on the basis of the most profit for the least outlay. The plaster is dropping from the walls, the floors of the halls are grimy, the backyard is a litter of plaster-covered bricks and pools of stagnant water and there is no light within at night save that which leaks in from far-off street lamps. Whole families live in one room each and they use a common kitchen in the basement. The garbage must be carried out through the build ing. because the thrifty owner has erected a garage across the whole of the rear yard. And for these palatial quarters the renters are charged as much as $lO each per month per room, although a few apartments" may be had to rless Several hundred dollars judiciously expended would transform the place. Cortditions are so bad here that even with houses as few as at present not ail the "apartments" are filled. Two old tumble-down houses next door are even in worse condition. They will fall down shortly if they are not torn away. Another "Apartment" House Army Auxiliaries Play Great Part In Halting German Drive Carrier Pigeons Bear Messages Advising Staff of Enemy Movements; Huns Hurled Against Fire of Machine Guns By Press On tile French Front in France, July 18.—One of the principal ele ments which worked toward bring ing the German offensive to a halt was the splendid co-operation of the transport and information serv ices. In Champagne, lorry drivers passed four days and nights without a moment's repose in hurrying troops from one section of the line to another, wherever most needed, and conveying tens of thousands of men, often under heavy fire. The role of the carrier pigeon proved most important in the Cham pagne fighting where the French ad vance posts were often cut off from the main body and possessed only this means of communicating. The birds constantly brought back mes sages keeping the staff Informed con FRENCH GENERAL THRILLS TROOPS ON EVE OF BATTLE Stand Firm, Have but One Thought, Kill Until They Cry Enough—Gauraud On the French Front in France, Wednesday, July 17.—1n stirring phrases, imploring them to stand firm, General H. J. E. Gauraud, in command of the French and Ameri can troops east of Rheims and in Champagne, appealed to his men before the German offensive began. In an order issued to his soldiers, he said: "We may be attacked at any mo ment. You all feel that a defensive battle never has been engaged in under more favorable conditions. You were warned and are on guard i with powerful reinforcements of in-] i'antry and artillery. You will tight on the ground you have transformed by your hard work into redoubtable fortresses which are invincible if the passages are properly guarded. "The bombardment will be ter rible, but you will stand it without weakening. The assault will be vio lent, i.. clouds of smoke, dust, gas, but your position and armament are formidable. Urges But One Thought "In your breasts beat free men's brave, strong hearts. Nobody will look behind nor recede a pace. Each of you will have one thought—to kill and kill many until they cry enough. "B'or this reason your general says you will break this assault, and it will be broken gloriously." Conditions in Hay alley back of the Verbeke street markethouse are greatly improved as a result of health department efforts and also because one of the "apartment houses" of that district fell down last winter and the tenants perforce had to move out. The inspectors found a force of workmen trying lo put this old three-story structure back into shape for habitation. How it ever got past the building inspec tor nobody knows. The walls are bulging and there is a great gap in the wall on one side. The work men pottered about timidly, fearing the thing woultf collapse on them while making repairs. "What do they intend to do with that?" asked Dr. Raunick. "Make an apartment house out of it," said a nearby resident. "Looks pretty bad," said the Doc- 1 tor. "Yes," was the reply, "but Great Guns you ought to see the inside." The inspectors declined to inves tigate further. This structure bears a stone in the front wall reading "John ITsau, M. D„ Built A. D., 1881." Over Stables Rapidly running through the bad quarter along Capitol and Marion streets north of Verbeke street the worst conditions were found in the rear of 1419 and 1421 Marion street, where four "apartments," renting at $4 a month each and each consist ing of one room occupied by one family, had been constructed over a horse stable. These are approached by an outside gallery, rickety and unsafe, to which shaky steps lead up. They have little light but plenty of nir—both from the stable below and through the numerous cracks. There are no chimneys and one toilet. A single outside hydrant supplies water for these and nearby houses. The "apartments" are scarcely fit for chicken coops and not much larger. In case of fire the occupants would be caught like rats in a trap. Another "apartment house" at 1419 Capitol streejt is of much bet ter variety and has electric light in the halls. It is fairly clean but the sewers are badly constructed and out of order most of the winter, while a barrel of oil stored in the vestibule has soaked the floor and invites fire. Rooms rent from $7 to $9 a month, without heat or light. The old Seventh ward deserves a whole chapter of its own. Here the houses were for the most part owned or rented by self-respecting, prosperous people, ttifore the re moval of the old Eighth ward shacks caused un influx of people from that district. Quite a few very good houses still exist and there are many fine people scattered through out this whole district who resent the slum Conditions being forced into their neighborhoods. These conditions are especially bad in the lower part where property owners have been compelled to sacrifice their homes and get out or put up with a state of affairs that is well nigh intolerable. It is pitiable to see the effort many of those who have remained try to make to have their homes attractive while grasp ing landlords on all sides huddle many families into one house and let the dwellings go to pot. In Sayford street one property in the rear of a store room has been reconstructed and enlarged by the addition of flimsily constructed little rooms made largely of material that looks as though it had been gath ered from dumps and here whole families are quartered at $8 to $lO i a month for two to three rooms. The roofs leak so that tubs have to be I kept in constant readiness, the plaster is dropping and the walls lack paper. Children are sick con i stantly here, and little wonder. "I'm ready to go elsewhere if I can find a place I can afford," said one of the men coming home for dinner. Outside drainage condjtions are tor rible and the whole situation ! enough to turn even a good think ; ing citizen into a criminal or an i anarchist. These are >ut samples. There are scores and hundreds as bad and worse. cerning the movements of the Ger mans. Aim Spares Comrades In one instance a pigeon brought a request that the French artillery open fire on a position occupieQ by their own comrades, because the Germans were surrounding them in dense masses. The gunners com plied. mowing lanes in the German waves. Their wonderful accuracy of aim spared their comrades, many of whom afterward were able to make their way back. The admittedly enormous losses of the Germans during the crossing of the Marne must have been fully equaled in the Champagne sector, where their assaulting waves hurled themselves vainly against deep bar riers of barbed wire under the Are of hundreds of machine guns.
