W'hen the fire fighters got into the , park four fires were burning merrily i away, blazes in two places threatening big trees. They were extinguished by | the chemical tank on the Good Will ' truck before the supply gave out. Then a two-mile run back to Harrisburg to recharge the big forty-gallon tank was ' necessary. While this was going on Commission er Taylor aud a party ran through the park to the lake and extinguished an ! other blaze on the side of "crooked [hill." It was here that the need of a pony tank and shovel to throw earth on logs which were burning stubbornly was found necessary. This fire being conquered the party returned to find two fresh fires burning in the under,- : brush, evidently started by boys after ! the party had gone far into the park ! on an inspection trip. The last fire proved to be a stubborn 1 one. It had gotten inside a tree and was burning there like a furnace. Two ; pony chemical tanks had to be used by | the firemen to stop the flames, i After the trip Commissioner Taylor , said he would put a mounted policeman on to patrol the park. "The fires," he | said, "could not have been the result of an accident and I «kpect more of the same trouble." Fire Chief Kindler promised a small chemical tank for the park automobile. W"hile the party was in Wildwood an other fire was started by one on the northern point of Island Park. This was extinguished by employes at the filter plant, who effectively wielded shovels.

Brumbaugh—Measure Soon to Be Reported The child labor conference between Governor Brumbaugh ami the commit tee of manufacturers in the Bellevuo- Stratford hotel. Philadelphia, on Satur day, led to an agreement on "but one disputed point, that of continuation schools, which was originally ©[posed by the manufacturers as outlined in the Brumbaugh child iawr bill. The nianu-, facturers notified the Governor laai they had withdrawn all opposition to | these 9-hools, I>ut requested that a change be made in the law so that the! clause relating to continuation schools \ should net apply in districts where such schools.do uot exist. The manufacturers also asked that prosecutions for violation of the law J should be eonfined to sworn officers of the State instead of permitting any body to bring suit, and rhe request will be considered in committee. They also asked that children between 14 and 16 be permitted to work ten hours a <tay and fifty-four hours a week. As drfcwn now the bill provides for a nine-hou> day and a fifty-one hour week for all between 14 and lti, with eight hours deducted for school work. This matter will also be taken up in House com mittee. Governor Brnmbaugh -said he was pleased with the result of the confer ence, as is showed a disposition on the part of the manufacturers to yield in some things. The child labor will very likely be reported out of committee to morrow with .lie workmen's compensa tion bill. ITALY ISSUES DECREE FOR RIGID CENSORSHIP (IF NEWS Rome, 'March 28, 9.33 P.

TURKS DENY MASSACRES Say There Have Been No Disor4ers at Urumiah, But Nevertheless Send Troops at Uncle Sam's Bequest By Associated Press, Washington, March 29.—The Turk ish government denies there have been any disorders at Urumiah, Persia. Am bassador Morgenthau at Constantinople .cabled the State Department to-day that the Grand Vizier h*d so informed him on the strength of a report made to him by the Turkish war office. Mr. iMorgenttoau reported tthat fur ther instructions that order mu«t be maintained had 'been sent to Urumiaih at his'request and that regular Turkish troops were on their way to t>he scene. News dispatches from Tiflis and re- Iforts to the Presbyterian Board o£ For eign 'Missions in New York have told of atrooiitiea committed on Christiana at the AmetrifVu and French missions at, Urumitch by irregular Turkish troops and Kurds. In response to appeals for protection the State Department direct ed Ambassador Morgent'hau to ask the Porte to send troops. Secretary Bryan announced that new instructions by the Turkish gov ernment affecting foreign educational institutions in Turkey had been post poned until September, when the new school year begins. The instructions, announced last year, would have taken from the missionary colleges the ex emption from Turkish supervision that thev enjoyed. Secretary Brvan said Ambassador Morgeuthau, who had conferred with the heads of the insti tutions, reported that the situation was satisfactorily adjusted for the time being at least, by the postpone i inent. Samuel \V. Fleming, of this city, as sistant postmaster, to-day received a, letter from 'the Board of Presbyterian Foreign Missions in New York, saying that a letter had been received from tlio mission in Tabriz, Persia, dated Febru ary 1, a month later than Mr. Fleming had received a letter from his son-in-law, the Rev. Ho'bert M. Jjabaree, stating that ail of the missionaries in l'abrin were 'well and that the mission there i*d been made a refuge for several hundred Christian natives who were fleeing from the Turks. Tabriz is one. hundred miles from Uruniiah, the 3cene of the recent massacres of Christians. An Associated Press dispatch a few days ago indicated that Mr. babaree may have been at Uruiniah and may have been tjjere at the time of the disturbances. Mr. Fleming, however, thinks Mr. La'baree di 1 not leave Tabriz. , NEW HOTEL PLANS PREPARED Construction Work at Third and Wal nut Is Soon to Start The deal for the purchase of the.
