TAX RATE FOR 1919 IS STUDIED [Continued from First Page.] been manufactured for beverage since September last year. This will leave saloons and cafes only Yvines to-sell for three months before they are forced to close altogether. There fore it is thought that the licensed places in Dauphin county will think seriously before applying for 1919 licenses. One hundred and twenty-seven sa loons agil liquor dispensaries will go out of business in Dauphin county when the "bone dry law goes into effect. Fifty-seven of them are in Harrisburg. Strange as it may seem, the price of whisky has depreciated during the last few days, in spite of the re duced stocks. Fear of the almost prohibitive taxes, with an attendant anxiety to be rid of their stocks, on the part of the dealers, and re fusal of the people to pay the in flated prices, are thought to be re sponsible for the drop. Fcyv Kegrets Few regrets will mark the passing of the saloon, it js thought. Since the lifting of the Influenza ban on saloons three yveeks ugo, the liquor faucets have poured forth a con tinuous object lesson of intemper ance. During the ban, the work of the police department was decreased by more than half, the pawnbrokers were idle, and disorderlies in the streets was reduced to a fraction of what it had been. It Yvould be impossible t estimate the amount of criminology in Harris burg due to liquor. The annals of the police department showed that with the laying of a ban on sa loons, the number of arrests per day decreased from three dozen to three persons, over night. The police de partment, therefore, will welcome the prohibition with considerable ap proval. ttAIRRISBURG How Italian Park Will Look in the Near Future — —- - - *"•••• ••' •• ', ' ■ ■ 'J? ' V ' , ' ' v ;•• •* i ■ . ■ ' . ' * ygg CITY PLANS TO USE ITALIAN PARK [Continued from First Page.] mission was able to accomplish little looking toward the dedication of the land to the city free by the heirs until a topographical survey of the park and surrounding tract was made last winter by K. Clark Cow den, engineer for the commission, and the blueprints presented to the trustees of the estate. The president of the Fidelity Titist Company, who. with young Mr. McKee, is trustee for the estate, visited the city some time ago and-was much impressed with the plans of the com mission, which showed that the land las it lies is a liability rather than an I asset, but that both the city and the owners would be benetited if the city had tlie land. Mr. McKee, who is with the American army in France, is favorable to the transfer; and fol lowing the visit hero of the trustees' real estate expert yesterday the Planning Commission is in position | to announce that it will be in full j possession of the land within a few weeks, the indications are. It is not the purpose of tlie coin mission to urge tlie immediule de velopment of the plan, on account of labor shortage and the high cost of materials, but to ask Council to employ an expert, such as Mr. Fuertes. who designed the Wildwood I.ake project and the filter plant, to make plans for the lake to hold the waters of the big springs, and Air. Manning to complete liis outline for the parking of the area. When tliis is done the work will be undertaken Ms soon as the finances of the city will permit. Y. M. C. A. to Expand Its Religious Work This Week The Y. M. C. A. In Harrisb.urg will during this winter increase Its ef forts along religious lines, laist sea son. through men's meetings, Bible I classes for both men and boys, life problem discussion groups for boys, the annual "Father and Bon Week" observance and above ay the per sonal conferences with men and boys, the Central Association made genuine strides, according to those who should know, in advancing its program for men and boys. With the opening of men's meet ing series to-morrow comes the as surance that Harrisburg ifiay depend upon its Y. M. C. A. to continue its aggressive religious program. Boys' Bible classes will soon be started, according to plans being .completed j by the boys' work committee through its secretary, A. H. Dins more. The "National Father and Son Week," held for the tirst time last season and celebrated nationally during February, will be held this yea,r during the week of February 10 to 16. 1919. The local association will sponsor tlie movement locally on a somewhat broader scale thart a year ago, when numerous churches | observed the week. A most com pre- i hensive plan has been worked out for the national celebration of this week, dedicated to the chumship of father and son. Plans for the season of activity are now well under way. The re- j ligious work committee is scheduled to meet in tlie early future to plan ! for further announcements of the program. Ruling Made in York County Case The State Compensation Board lias ! ruled in the claim of Reno vs. J. 10. j Baker Company, York, that art em- i ploye who goes to a dangerous point jon a quarry track by direction of a foreman and is injured while arrang ing to secure material for the next day's work is entitled to compensa tion. In Baith vs. Aetna Chemical Company, a Blair county case, it is I found that a carpenter working tem porarily in an explosive plant and j sickened by inhaling chemical fumes | is entitled to compensation during his disability and that disability is cap&ble of proof. The hoard has held that men whose health became im paired as a result of permanent work in a chemical plant are not entitled to compensation. The hoard yein- j stated tlie compensation agreement in Coulson vs. Coulson, Hanover. In refusing compensation In Ktinin vs. Pennsylvania itailroud it is held that the claimant had no business in jumping u freight to go from his work for the company und that tlie fact that lie was going to his board ingliouse where tlie hours were post ed does not enter into the case.

M'ADOO RESIGNS AS CABINET OFFICER [Continued from First l'agc.] • Jx&s. ■' y WILLIAM G. McADOO of war to peace, which probably will include at least ttvo more Liberty Loans, and possibly also u further revision of the system of war taxa tion. Letters between President Wilson and Mr. Mc-Adop, made public with tile announcement of the resignation, give Mr. McAdoo's reasons foh leav ing the cabinet solely as a necessity for replenishing his personal fortune and express the President's deep re gret at losing his son-in-law from his ot'lieial Oimi y. It is entirely probable the Presi dent may fill separately the offices of secretary ef the Treasury and di rector general of railroads. There was nothing oflicial to-night on which to base a statement of who might be under consideration for secretary of the Treasury., On pre vious occasions when a successor to Mr. Me Adoo wus discussed John Skelton Wl'liams, comptroller of the currency, and W. P. O. Harding, governor of the Federal Reserve Board, have most generally been mentiorgsd. Paul Warburg, formerly a member of tlie reserve board, and a proinent New York banker, and Russell C. Leftingweli, assistant sec rotary of tlie Treasury, also are reck oned among tlie possibilities. President Wilson is not required to clioose the new director general of ruilroads from among the cabinet members, and it is possible that the place may go lo some one associated with Mr. McAdoo in the railroad ad ministration. If the place should go to some member of the cabinet. See-, retary Baker, of the War Depart ment, Postmaster General Burleson and Secretary Lane, of tlie Inferior Department, are likely to be con sidered. - . There was a probability that tlie directorship might have gone to Mr. Baker at the time the President de cided to give it to Mr. McAdoo. It was thought that Government opera tion of the railroads us a war meas ure was closely connected with the military program, but the President chose Mr. McAdoo because of Ins knowledge of transportation prob lems. i Postmaster General 1/urleson al ready is operating the telegraph, tele phone and eable lines under Govern ment control. Secretary Kane is in timately , versed in transportation problems, particularly railroads, and for years was a member of the Interstate Commerce Commission and at one time chairman. Walter D. Hlnes, assistant di rector'general of railroads, formerly a New York lawyer, and chaiyman of the board of the Santa J'"e, has been intimately connected with the developpient of Government opera tion, and is among those discussed in Washington to-night as a possible successor to Mr. McAdoo as director general. Mr. McAdoo leaves his manifold duties at the most important period in the history of the country utjd at a time when the experiment of gov ernment control of railroads enteru upon a fair test. With the President in Europe, Mr. McAdoo, under the Cabinet succession bill, would be the virtual head of the government. He therefore leaves the Cabinet at a most trying time. While rumors flew thick last night. Mr. McAdoo strenuously denied that he had resigned for any other reason than that given in hi£ letter, namely, his physical inability to continue the great strain and the necessity te build up li s private fortune. One story was that ho had resigned be cause of differences with the Presi dent ns to thp future policy of the railroads and that he took a Arm | stand against the President's trip to i Europe. < Keeps Itnjlroad Post Till .Tammry j Mr. McAdoo will retire as Secre- j I t:\ry of the Treasury upon the quail- I I tleation of his successor on December j ; 2. but lie remain at the head of I | the . railroad administration until j January 1, the date upon which he ! asked to bo relieved. Mr. McAdoo's letter of resignation i and President Wilson's letter of ac- I eeptance were made public, -Mr. Mc- ! Adoo's letter gives as the sole reason | for his retirement from public office [ the necessity of engaging in private | business in order to recoup his linun- I eial resources which, he says, have j been depleted during .the live years', and eight months of his otilcial serv i ice. While telling-the President that I i his health is good, Mr. McAdoo says I that he needs a rest from the strain j to which he has been subjected. |- After the announcement Mr. Mc- j Adoo said that lie contemplated tak- j ing a vacation for three months and ; then returning to professional life. ! probably resuming the practice of I law in New York. I 'linls I .King Cost Burdensome The announcement was made by ; I Mr. McAdoo personally to a group j | of newspaper men who had been tn | vited to his office. After discussing i 1 igicstions concerning government | I finance and government operation of j I railways, Mr. McAdoo told of his j j resignation. Orally he stressed that j i his sole reason for leaving official i | life was that given in his letter to tile !

The letter from the President i I accepting the resignation of Mr. Me- i I Adoo from the two offices ho holds I : is of the same cordial tenor as that j [of Mr. McAdoo and it is signed | "Gratefully and Affectionately Yours, ! | Woodrow Wilson." | Mr. McAdoo said he had no idea i whb liis successors might be and added that he would make no recom- ! mendations to the President. | Hegardless of the appointment to !I he Treasury post, it is considered j I improbable that there will be uftyj ! great change in future fiscal policies' | of the government, i As for the railroads the new di- j | rector general doubtless will have ! much to do with the formulation of I | policies fdr future management. Mr.! | McAdoo recently indieffted that he j | had planned to continue consolida- j j lions, - pooling, short hauling and j j other reforms looking to efficient | j operation, regardless of the fact that i the war emergency is over. Opposi- i | tion to this course now appears to: ,be developing and the issue of ! whether railroads are to remain ] permanently tinder government di- | i rection and even government owner- J j ship, or be returned shortly to their | . private owners is taking form. This j | issue is a principal legacy "which Mr. j j McAdoo will leave to his successor. Mr. McAdoo this morning found I his desk piled high with personal i j telegrams from friends throughout I j 1 lie country commenting on ids j ! resignation.

Political Significance Members of Congress and politi- j | clans generally are discussing the j political Significance of the resigna tion of William Gibbs McAdoo, who lj is regarded not only by Democrats, j but by Republicans, as the logical j candidate of the Democratic party ' for the Presidency in 1920. Mr. Mc-j I Adoo is believed to cherish a Presi- i | dential bee, and many stories are ' 'being told indicating this. His ox-j jtreme cordiality to certain visitors, I who told of strength for him in I various pacts of the country, wus | i recalled i>y senators and members of ! the House. j ,It has been generally accepted I here that Mr. McAdoo's chief rival j J for ,the Democratic nomination was : Secretary of War Newton D. Baker, j ! Mr. Baker, if is generally believed, j .Is much more the President's own j I type. He is considered to think j I like the "President, to be more in j sympathy with the President's radt- . j cal views and to be altogether the ! i man whom the President would ■ ' normally prefer to favor for the I | nomination were it not for the near- j er personal relationship of Mr. Mc-i j Adoo. ' • . McAdoo Mori" Popular In addition to having married the I j President's daughter, air. McAdoo ; iias borne much morn of the burden ' lof the administration than hus any j , other one man.

GERMAN OFFICER DEFENDS MURDER OF SUB VICTIMS Twenty More U-Boats Taken Over by British Admiral Ol'f Harwich ~ v By Associated Press I , Harwich, d'hig, Nov. 23. Com. manded chiefly by sublieutenants, twenty more German submarines were surrendered to Admiral Sir Reginald Tyrwliltt off Ilarwiclt yes terday morning, making a total of fifty-nine undersea boats thus far handed over. One U-boat sank dur ing Thursday night, otherwise twen ty-one would have been taken as Allied war prizes. One of the sub lieutenants affirmed that his senior officer did not come because he had been mentioned in the British press as a ma rkedi man. The U-boat which sank while on the way to Har wich was a victim of rough wcath er. The correspondent of the British wireless service with the British na val forces says that just before noon a cruiser came into sight, followed byt the German submarines and a German transport. The transfer took place in the harbor on account of the heavy sea running. The major ity of the submarines were large and nearly all were lifted with wire less equipment. When the Germans arrived it was noticeable the revolutionary element ; was decidedly present. Some of the | officers had removed the Prussian i eagles from their caps and replaced | them with a sort of red badge that I recognizes the authority of the Sail ors' and Soldiers' Council. There seemed to be little discipline among I the lot. The men took very little ! notice of anything their officers said jto them. One shoulted: "No officer I —no kaiser." j Some of the Germans were ex j ceedlngly anxious to air such Kng j lish as they possessed, while others suppressed their accomplishments in that direction with equal care. One | German officer, who was inclined to j be communicative, attached himself to the correspondent and said he i worked in London before the war. | He added: "I had an intimation, as many of us had, that we should be wanted in the summer of 1914, so I went back to Germany a month or two before war was declared. I was not in the subarine service at first but volunteered for it, and had a fair share of luck. You British say it was not fair fighting, but wo Ger mans believe that the end justifies the means. Then you complain that we shoot your men while they are in the water. Why not? The men might be saved and fight us another day. We should be fools to let them." All of the crew of one subma rine, with the exception of an off!-- cer, were intoxicated. CITY TO DRIFT INTO PROHIBITION [Continued from First Page.] alarm systems from North Court street to Briggs and Cow den streets, so that the poles and wires in the park extension zone can be re moved. ■ !•>' i City park department funds this | year were kept at a minimum and i only repairs and maintenance which I were absolutely necessary could bo | done. In other departments similar . j conditions existed, the budget only j containing funds for repairs and maintenance which were so essen tial that they could not* lie dropped. Want Salary Increase That salary increases, which sent (lie appropriation total thousands of dollars above the 1917 figures, arc again contemplated for some em ployes seems evident. To what ex tent these raises can be carried out will be one of the problems for the commissioners to solve. Another worry which may develop for the commissioners will ho the. asli collection contract. This year it is costing Ilamsburg $40,000 for semi-monthly collections until the end of the year. What the bids will be for the 1919 contract no one will venture to say, but it is estimated by some of the officials that the fig ures will be very much higher than j $40,000. Restrictions Removed From AH Construction It is thought that construction work I in this city will be given a great impetus with the announcement by Ernest T. Trigg, regional adviser, of the Resources arid Conversion sec tion of the War Industries Board, that all restrictions on construction projects of every kind hnvo been removed. It is understood that a number of building projects have never been undertaken because of the ban on the shipment of many necessary materials, but with the ban removed, they now may be under taken.
