Commissioner Taylor, Fire Chief Kin
dler and Good Will Firemen on
the Jump Yesterday Afternoon
Mcuated Policeman to Patrol Park
Added to the equipment of the au
, tomobile of the Superintendent of
Parks will be oue pony fire extinguish
er and one fire shovel and to the eom
i pletement of employes one mounted po
jliceman whose <Jutv it shall be to patrol
the forest reserve in Wild wood Park;
all because some fifty mischievous bovs
started seven tires in the underbrush
i yesterday afternoon that kept Superin
i tendent Taylor, Fire Chief Kindler and
a number of Good Will firemen on the
i jump.
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.

Verdi'g Secrecy. •
Verdi observed gresit secrecy con-
I ceriilng his operas, even to his busi
ness associates, and it is said that the
first Intimation his business managers,
the Hlcordis, received of the composi
tion of "Falstaff" was a toast offered
by Boito, who as supper one night,
when the publisher and his wife were
present, slyly glanced at Verdi aud
proposed ft health to the "fat knight,"
at which it seemed Verdi and Boito
had been working for months.

MANUFACTURERS APPROVE
CONTINUATION SCHOOLS
Yield a Point in Favor of the Child La
bor Bill As Framed by Governor!
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.

OLDEST PENBROOK CITIZEN
li DIES AFTER SHORT ILLNESS
Solomon Nisley, Resident of Borough
Twenty-seven Years and Promi
nent Farmer of This District, Suc
cumbed at Home This Morning
Penbrook, March 29.—Solomon Nis
ley, aged 89 years', the oldest resident
of this place, died early this morning
at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Hen
rietta Bauman, at Main and Curtin
streets. It is said Mr. Nisley, refused
to obey the doctor's orders, as he lik
ened himself to a worn out piece of
machinery, which could not be repaired.
Mr. Nisley had a wide acquaintance
over the country and up until Inst win
ter was actively engaged in mtdoor
work about his home. Although in ill
health during the past winter he was
jonly confined to his bed for the last
1 week.
He was born on a farm near Middle-
I town in 1825, and spent his early life
! there where he attended the district
I schools. In 1849 he married Catherine
j Paul, and for a few years following
I lived near Middletown. He then moved
I to a farm near New Cumberland, and
j later bought the farm near the Penn
| sylvania State Insane Hospital. He
: lived there for 32 years, after which
jh» moved to Fenbrook, where he has re
j sided for the last 27 years. \
| Surviving are the following children:
Mrs. William Hoofnagle, Mrs. Henri
etta Bauman. Mrs. B. Frank Ober, Mrs.

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. ,
