TAX RATE FOR
1919 IS STUDIED

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.

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.

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 !
President —the depletion of his per- i
' sonat resources through "the very 1
| burdensome cost of living in Wash- |
| ington." which necessitated that lie,!
j return to privnle life to retrieve hisl
j personal fortunes for the sake of his 1
I family, lie spoke in glowing terms i
i of Ills admiration for President Wil- (
i son and the cordial relations between I
I them. 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.
(iocs on liisjM-ctioii Trip
' To-night lie plans to leave for an j
inspection trip of southern railroads, !
| arranged more than a week ago. j
He will tie in Atlanta to-morrow j
'land later will go through Florida I
j and to New Orleans, returning to ,
| Washington before President Wilson j
■sails for Europe.
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. His personal popu- j
I larity, not only" throughout the ad-I
| ministration, but on Capftol HUI. I
| and, it is generally believed in Wash- i
j ington, throughout the country. Is j
I much greater than that of the Sec
[ retary of War. He is generally |
| credited with having more force and |
: determination. It is-known that he |
| did much to force Mr. Wilson's bund :
' in the declaration of war.
Certainly the political leaders of
the party seem to have warmed to
the McAdoo/candldncy much more
than to the Baker boom.

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

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.
