MINIMUM COST IS $30,000
Chamber of Commerce and
City Council Arc Work
ing Together
City Council yesterday afternoon
unanimously approved a plan sug
gested by Arnold W. Brunner. the
noted architect in charge of the
Capitol Park developments, and rec
ommended by a committee of the
Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce
for a memorial to Harrisburg and
Dauphin county soldiers, sailors and
marines to be erected at the eastern
approach of the proposed memorial
bridge at State and Thirteenth
streets.
The memorial plaza and park
treatment will extend from Thir
teenth in State, almost to Fifteenth
street, and will cost a minimum
of $50,000, which the Chamber pro
poses to finance by means of public
subscriptions. The committee has
been at work on suggestions for a
memorial for many months and at
last put the matter up to Mr. Brun
ner, who suggested the type which :
the committee and council have ap
proved.
Of Enduring Granite
The base of the memorial will be j
of granite, as being more lasting j
than marble, and will be circular in !
form with a seat running around the
back to accommodate those who
may desire to rest after a trip over
the proposed bridge or to view the j
Capitol Park extension development,
which will lie in panoramic form
before the eye of the observer from j
that altitude. Around the rear of
this seat will be carved the names j
of famous battles in the war with i
Germany in which Pennsylvania
troops participated.
In the center will be a huge
bronze base, of dignified ornamental j
design, on which will be the proper j
inscriptions. This base will be sur- j
mounted by a steel flagpole, sixty
eight feet high, from which will I
constantly fly a huge American flag.
In the rear the present grassplot
will be transformed into a beauti
ful little formal park with stone
benches, attractive shrubbery ar
tistically arranged, ending in a stone
pillar in the rear. This will be near
ly two blocks in length.
Designed by Brunner
The whole idea was developed by
Mr. Brunner and is his suggestion
as the most appropriate way in
which the city can Join with the
State in adding a local memorial in
conjunction with the great memorial
bridge to be erected by the State.
He pointed out that it would be par
ticularly fitting in view of the fact
that the granite shaft to Jhe mem
ory of Civil War veterans is erected
at the western extremity of the' Ca
pitol development in State street, giv
ing the Commonwealth's bridge and
pylons the center and the city and
county World War memorial the
eastern end. The proposed design,
it is also noted by the architect,
will add a finishing touch to the j
Capitol Park improvements and
give the Allison Hill district a de
velopment in keeping with the fine*
residential district developed there.
Governor Approves
Governor Sproul and the members
of the State Board of Public
Grounds and Buildings were first
shown the sketches and details of
the plan and they most heartily ap- I
proved. The Governor intimated I
that he felt it only proper that the !
city and county memo.rial should be |
located near the State memorial and I
in conjunction with the wonderful
Civic Center which the Common
wealth is spending so much to ere- |
ate for Harrisburg.
Members of the City Planning
Commission to whom the plan was
submitted to-day heartily approved
The Chamber's committee in mak-'
ing public the sketches and outlin
ing the plan, desired to make clear
that it has been acting merely as a
clearing house for suggestions and
that the recommendation which it
makes to the city is not its own
thought but the result of careful
study by Mr. Brunner, who is one
of the noted architects of the coun
try. The committee feels that it
has been fortunate in procuring his
services in view of the importance
of making anything the city may do
along the line of beautificat'on to
harmonize with the State's Capitol
Park plans. Paul Johnston, chair
man; David E. Tracy, J. William
Bowman and Spencer C. Gilbert
constituting the Chamber's commit
tee, have held many meetings and
htave considered many plans but be
lieve by far the hest Is that here
with presented. The beauty of the
designed cannot be gathered from
a small picture and in order that the
people of the city may form a fair
and unbiased opinion of what is
proposed a large sketch of the de
sign In water color and detailed
drawnings of the various parts will
be placed on display In a downtown
window within the next few days.

THIEVES SECURE
SILVER THROUGH
OPEN WINDOW
Four Quarts of Unreplaceablc
Liquors Also Are
Taken
Silverware, highly prized and of
considerable value, as well as a
number of other articles, were
taken from the home of H. J. Wil
liams, 1717 State street, by rob
bers last evening, it was reported to
the Harrisburg police department
to-day. The exact value of the arti
cles taken from the Williams resi
dence could not be stated.
Included among the silverware
taken were one-half dozen knives
and forks in a folder; two dozen
tea spoons, one-half dozen large
table spoons, one-half dozen soup
spoons, four dozen bouillon spoons,
one-half dozen forks, four dozeh af
ter-dinner spoons, two dozen odd
spoons, bearing the names of dif
ferent towns and dates together with
one dozen fruit knives. Some of
the spoons bear initials.
A large basket was taken from the
pantry in which the silverware was
found, presumably to carry it and
the other articles taken away. In
addition were four quarte of vari
ous liquors, including sloe gin, port
wine and blackberry brandy, and one
dozen bananas were taken.
Entrance to the Williams resi
dence was gained through an un
locked pantry window on the first
floor. The window is "never lock
ed," it was reported to the police
to-day.
In practically every robbery in the
long string reported to police offi
cials within the past several weeks,
entrance has been gained through
unlocked windows of the first floor.
Little if any noise is made in this
manner and the intruders are able
to work entirely undisturbed, police
authorities say. Articles of minor
value have been taken by intruders
in the other cases, and this is the
first time that the booty has been
of any considerable value.
Ten dollars in cash, two $5 bills,
were stolen from the rooms of Mrs.
Ella Haupt, 430 South Thirteenth
street, early this morning. En
trance to the rooms of Mrs. Haupt,
located on the second floor, was
gained through an unlocked window
after climbing a pair of steps lead
ing from the rear yard. The money
was in a pocket of one of Mrs.
Haupt's dresses in a clothes closet.
Efforts were made during the
night to batter open the safe of
B. Abrams & Son, Junk dealers, 824
North Seventh street. After break
ing into the warehouse of the es
tablishment, the intruders passed
into the office and broke off the
combination knob" of the safe by
means of a huge sledge hammer.
Nothing was taken.

home to board. This morning when
Baum wqjit to the store he found
the cash register rifled and the en

that the enterprising young man
doesn't have to go to new countries
to find golden business opportunities.

big deal, "simply by offering a

fascinated by the possibilities of the

The stock of material Martin now
controls represents three years' nor
mal supply. He is reckoning on a |
j profit of about $5,000,000. Of that j

offer to sell to the general public
in 80-yard lengths and 100-yard
bales, but only SI,OOO worth of it

"Belfast people," said Martin,
"imagined they had the stuff be

part of this linen was actually manu
factured after the armistice, be
cause the Belfast mill owners re
fused to allow their contracts to
be canceled.
"They went on making linen by
millions of yards at 40 to 75 cents
a yard. Then they offered the gov
ernment seven cents a yard to take
it back. Their price later went up
to about 25 cents a yard, and it was
still hoped in view of the monopoly
to sell it to the public at three shill
ings. They could have re-equipped all

double the final Belfast offer.'

WILSON FINDS MASS
OF WORK AWAITING
HIM IN WASHINGTON
Official Business Piled Up :
After an Absence of Four
Months, and Speaking Tour
Must Be Delayed For Week
GERMAN GOVERNMENT
TO ACCEPT PEACE PACT
By Associated Press.
Washintgon, July 9.—President
Wilson returned to his desk to-day
after an absence of four months at
the Peace Conference, to find such
a mass of official business that it
probably will he two weeks before
he can start on his tour of the coun
try, speaking for the Peace Treaty
and the Dengue of Nations.
Plans for the trip have not yet
been completed, but it was said at
the White House that the Fresidoiit
would so time his schedule a* t*
reach the Pacific coast at the time
of the arrival there of the newly
created Pacific fleet.
Three big Army trucks loaded j
with trunks and boxes arrived at j
the White House before the offices
were opened. The boxes contained I
official papers and documents relat- |
ing to the peace negotiations. A |
large staff of clerks Immediately set |
to work to put the documents in ;
order.
Heady to Speak
President Wilson was represented
as being ready to place himself at
the disposal of the Senate Foreign
I Relations Committee or other com
mittees of Congress to answer any
1 questions concerning the Peace
| Treaty and the League of Nations,
! which he will present to the Senate
] to-morrow in person.
The President remained in bed
late to-day, resting after his trip
t home. Rear Admiral Cary T. Gray-
I son, his'personal physician, said the
President is in splendid health.
Going to his office shortly before
11 o'clock, the President summoned
Secretary Tumulty and they spent
some time mapping out a program
of work. Most pressing of the many
matters before the President were
the annual appropriation bills re
cently passed by Congress. In con
sidering the agricultural bill, the
Executive had before him many
requests that he veto the measure
because of the order repealing the
davlight saving law.
The President remained steadily
at work for several hours and was
not interrupted. At noon it was said
that none of the bills before him had
i been signed. It was expected, how-
I ever, thai his signature would he at
tached to a number of them before
the end of the day.

the Legislation
United States Senator Boies Pen

I Ing legislation with Governor Sproul

I the prompt approval of the Datx-
I Brady bills and the naming of a new

I deiphia within a day or so.
The Senator, who remained at the
I Executive Mansion until very late
last night, said that he had gone
I over legislative matters with the
Governor and that he was going to
| Washington later in the day to take
I up his senatorial duties.
While here Senator Penrose saw
most of the heads of departments
of the State government and spent
considerable time talking with Au
ditor General Charles A. Snyder, who
will have many appointments to
| make under the bills which it is
i expected the Governor will approve
| as part of the revenue raising pro
gram. The Senator also saw a num
ber of visitors this morning and
reiterated his satisfaction with the
work of the Legislature.

PEACE TERMS ARE
ACCEPTED
By Associated Press,
Paris, July 9.—The German j
National Assembly in Weimar has [
passed the resolution ratifying ]
the Peace Treaty, according to I
advices received here to-day.
The resolution reads:
"The Peace Treaty signed on J
June 2S, 1919, us well sis the j
protocol annexed and special I
agreements on military occupa- j
tion of the Rhineland are hereby |
ratified. This law becomes effec- J

Patriot Company Departs
From Combination Rate
Policy For Advertising
City commissioners and merchants
throughtout the city were somewhat
surprised at the bids submitted yes
terday by the Patriot Company for
city advertising at the councilmanic
meeting. Separate bids were sub
mitted for the morning and evening
publications permitting the choice
of either paper at half the combin
ation rate charged for publication
in both papers.
This is a radical departure from
the Patriot Company's generally un
derstood rule of requiring adver
tisers to pay a combination rate cov
ering publication in both morning
and evening editions, and refusing to
give them the option of using either
one or the other edition at a single
rate.

London, July 9. Mrs. Arthur
Kliot, better known as Mrs. Mabel
Louise Atherton, divorced wife of
I Colonel Thomas Atherton, was
I found shot this morning in her home
in London, according to the Evening
I Standard this afternoon.
Mrs. Eliot, who was a sister ot

Mrs. Eliot was Mabel Louise, the

Mrs. Atherton then sued Mr. Yarde-
