Crawford was employed in riveting • the metal sheeting forming the root ; over the casting shed. In doing this work he and another man stood on a scaffold supported by ropes fastened to the cone of the roof. When the section on wfrk'h the men were working had been completed, Crawford's companion descended from the scaffold, while the i former made preparations to change the ! swinging platform to another part of i the roof. It was while doing this that one end of the scaffold tilted, causing the man to fall forward and being unable to! grasp anything to which he could hold, his body plunged over the root' and to the ground, his head coming in con tact with a railway tracts \ hich had just been laid. He was picked up t>y fellow employes and conveyed to the local hospital, but was found" to be d?ad ' before that institution was reached. ' Crawford, with his wife and fou> children, resided at Market and Lumber : streets. Highspire. i Girl Fractures Collarbone Cora May Fry, aged 3 years, daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. William Fry.

FORESTER WOULD SPEND SIOO,OOO TO SI 60,000 OUT HASjn GOT A CENT Coatluued From First Pace. new forestry department, of necessity, is costing the City something and that expenses, for which no provision was made when the annual budget was pre pared at the beginning of the new year, are now making their appearance in the natural course of events. "How far will that $2,000 go?" laughingly remarked the Forester as he repeated a question that was put to him. "Oh, possibly I can find employ ment for three men for two or three months on that. "What amount of work could be done in those few months on that $2,- 000 appropriation?" was another question. "We would continue our work of cleaning up Front street park and l»ossiblv cover the section between Mulberry and State street this year. But I have expended SSOO already. My men were paid out of the park funds and I don't know whether Mr. Taylor will want that SSOO back for his department. If he does it will be a »ad day for the forestry bureau." Costs $5 to $8 per Tree Mr. Mueller compared himself, in his bureau's financial difficulties— much work and no money—to the penniless urchin who stands before the show window and, being unable to buy must be content merely with looking. The forester is eager to remove the poplar trees from the city. He argues that they lack beauty, are not good for shade, and by their fast spreading roots clog and damage sewers and break concrete sidewalks and cellar floors. He said that 20,000 of the 50,000 trees in Harrisburg arc* poplars and that to remove these would cost from 7 $5 to $8 a tree. Even at the minimunt price per tree, it would cost the city SIOO,OOO. But that is only part of the work Mr. Mueller would like to carry out—if he had the money. Several hundred dead or dying treei he said, must be removed sooner or later if the city wants to escape pav ing damages to persons and property, due to these trees falling over. Then there are several hundred letters on the forester's desk—all requests from Harrisburgers who want shade trees pruned and treated. And there is a whole lot more work the forester said he could mention, but he declined to do so, saying the sub ject is painful because he has no budget.
