>.mills ground and also to cross the rail
road tracks."
In compiling his parkway plans Mr.
Manning said he considered subways
|in lieu of railroad grade crossings and
because of that a stibwav will be needed
at Cameron street to carry the road be
neath a section of tracks, running par
allel with Cameron street in the direc
tion of Steelton.
Railroad anil Steel company officials
agree that Mr. Manning's plan to run
the parkway beneath the railroad eul
, verts is not an unwise one. It was au
thoritatively estimated to-day, how
ever. that to build this connecting
I stretch of parkway will mean an ex
pense of upward of $40,000 or $50,-
000. The subway question, of course.
,is an expensive proposition and Mr.
(Manning said a price of SIO,OOO an

"That is the difficult question,"
I said Mr. Manning. "To get that land

Mr. Manning terminated his Harris

TRIES TO HAVE PART OF
CIRCUS BROI'OHTTO HOUSE
The elephants and things in the big
circus jiara le this morning did not halt
the House of Representatives in its
mail rush to clean up the caleudar. Al
though more than a majority of the
members climbed onto the window
ledges to see the parade. Speaker Am
bler would listen to no motion for a
recess and the roll calls on bills went
monotinouslv on, while the bands on
the outside were blaring.
While the parade was passing down
Fourth street each window on that
side of the was speedily filled,
members attaining the dizzv heights
by use of a step ladder, which was
carried from one window to the other
as soon as the capacity of one window
ledge was exhausted.
After the Highlander baud passed,
a motion for a recess was made only
to be ruled out of order by Speaker
Ambler. When the parade had passed
the members went back to their seats,
but not to work immediately, for one
of them brought an orange colored
balloon which was made to float over
the heads of the members.
Mr. Barnet, of York, attempted to
have some fun by introducing a reso
lution that would cause the circus peo
ple to display the donkey and the ele
phaut on the floor of the House, the
view front the windows of this spec
tacle being unsatisfactory. This a!so
was ruled out.
SECURE FIRST ACCOUNT
OF EUROPEAN WAR TO-DAY
Many Copies on Sale at Star-Independ
ent Office —Tells of First Six
Months of Struggle Between Many
Nations
Today marks the opening of the
Star-Independent's grand distribution
of the leading account, in book form,
or' the first six months of the war, a
volume which covers every detail of the
great European conflagration as it will
be set down on the pages of authorita
tive histories.
It is divorced entirely from partisan
ship and deals only with the cold facts,
bringing out the great underlying
causes of the struggle in the seeting
caldron of war-mad Europe.
The "Nations at War" is replete
with artual photographs of the mon
archs and their advisers, cities invaded,
great battles with their strategies,
tragedies and comedies, maps and
charts marking the localities; monu
ments of past victorious armies and
sidelights and local color on the civilian
non-eoinbatants. as well as a hundred
and one other details of interest and
importance. These pictures are a real
istic story in themselves, recording, as
they do, each event in regular order.
An interesting map gives a compre
hensive idea of the racial distribution
in the Austra-Hungarian monarchy, the
sections occupied bv the Germans. Aus
triatiß. Hungarians. Magyars and other
subjects of the empire, and also maps
showing the Teutonic- dreams of a pan-
Germanic empire, as well as the Rus
sians' aspiration to domain.
Splendid pictures of the Zeppelins,
aeroplanes, submarines, siege guns and
other devices representing the highest
achievement of scientific progress in
the art of military destruction, as shown
in this wonderful book represent the
labor and ofttimes the risk of life by
the artists who procured them, and they
will be accounted accurate and price
less by all who secure the book.
The text by Willis J. Abbot, to-day
recognized as one of the highest au
thorities and an author of renown, is
handled in a masterly manner, as evi
denced by his famous books, "Panama
and the Canal," "The Story of Our
Army." "The Story of Our Xavy"
and other valuable works which occupy
the shelves of our foremost scholars.
The story is a narration of facts with
never a variation front the straight line
of veracity and neutrality.
The Star-Independent urges its
readers to take advantage of the
presentation offer which is open to
day, the distribution being undertaken
oniv in the public interest, and the
small presentation expense of 98 cents
represents but a fraction of the worth
of the elaborate volume. Adv.*

Pekin. China, May 6, 5.15 P. M.—
The ultimatum of Japan to China
reached the Japanese legation to-day.
It probably was presented to the Chi
nese government this afternoon.
General Flight of Japanese
Mukden, via Pekin, MJV 6.—The
Japanese consular orders issued May 3
resulted in a general flight of Japan
ese from Mukden the following day.
The value of a gold yen increased thir

and railway officials now have left the
city.
AH classes of Chinese viewed the
exodns with stolid indiffereuce not in
sulting or molesting in any way per
sons leaving the city. Although the
natives are deeply perturbed the city
remains absolutely quiet.
Japanese troops occupy strategic
positions in Mukden while Chinese sol

position to the south of the city. Many
of the residents in that district are
coming north.
Barracks Prepared For Siege
Hankow, via Pekin, May 6.—The
Japanese barracks here have been pre

LATE WIIRIEWS SUMMARY
Continued From l-'lmt Cage.
that the Austrian: and Germans took
one position il'ter another from the
Russians.
The German invasion of the Baltic
provinces of Russia, which is regarded
lightly in Petrograd, is said in Berlin
to be an important movement, under
the personal direction of Field Mar
shal Von Hindenburg. His aim is be
lieved to be the capture of Libau and
Riga, which would enable him to harass
Russua communications with Petro
grad.
In Belgium further gains have been
made by the Germans. The official
French statement concedes that the
Germans won positions on the disputed
hill No. 00 near Yypres, and that the
British were able to retake only part
of them. Sharp fighting is in progress
elsewhere along the western front, but
apparently with no decided changes.
Two British vessels—a schooner
~nrf a trawler—also were sunk by
shells fired by a submarine. The c»*ws
were permitted to leave their ships and
escaped.
Reports of consistent progress on the
part of the allied forces at the Darda
nelles were contradicted in an official
statement to-day from the Turkish War
Office. It was said the troops which
landed on G-allipoli peninsula were in a
precarious condition, being encircled by
Turkish forces and unable to advance.
The statement was made that only two
points on the peninsula—Seddul Bahr
and Avi Burnu—were held by the al
lies.
Dispatches from French and British
sources said further success had been
won by the allies. An attack by Turks
on the encampment at Krlthia resulted
disastrously for them, according to these
advices, the Turks having left 1,300
dead behind them after their repulse.
A British correspondent asserted that
the tip of the peninsula and the entire
western side were under control of the
allies.
Rome, Vienna and Berlin advices in
dicated that a crisis had come in the
negotiations between Italy and Aus
tria. In Rome, where it had been felt
of late that war was inevitable, there
has been a sudden revival of hope of
a peaceful settlement owing to the fact
that Austria is said to have realized
the necessity of making substantial ter
ritorial concessions. Vienna regarded as
significant a visit of the Italian Am
bassador to the Austro-Hungarian For
eign Minister, although the outcome
was not disclosed. A Berlin newspa
per said Italy's participation in the
war must be regarded as not unlikely.
Claims were made in Petrograd that
the victory of the Russian army of the
Caucasus over the Turks announced
yesterday was an important and de
cisive one. A force of 30,000 Turks
which attacked the Russians In the
Dilman Khori region was said to have
been repulsed with heavy lo.tses and
compelled to retire in disorder.
Still another neutral steamer has
been sunk in the North sea, although
whether by a mine or torpedo has not
been established. The Danish vessel
Cathay, from Denmark for China, was
blown up, but her passengers and crew,
numbering forty-three, escaped.
A PORTABLE WARDKOBE
Harry A. Roat, Jr., of This City, Is
Inventor of Ingenious Device
A portable wardrobe has been patent
ed by IHarrv A. Boat, Jr., of this city,
especially designed for travelers and
providing, when in place, protection for
various garments. The application was
filed at tie patent office July 16, 1914,
anil the patent granted April 27, last.
The deriee is an ingenious one; keep
ing garments from dust and preventing
thetn from being < reased. A 'hat rack
and coat hangers are included in the
wardro>be, which can be set up easily,
according to given directions.
The witnesses to the patent are 6yl
vanus W. Zerby and Charles IP. Taylor.
SAYS DECISIVE POINT IS
REACHED IN NEGOTIATIONS
BETWEEN VIENNA AND ROME
Berlin, Via London, May 6. —A pes
simistic view of the Italian situation
is taken by the semi-official "Lokal An
zeiger" in its evening edition it re
ports that negotiations hetwesn Vienna
and Rome have reached a decisive point
and continues:
"The seriousness of the situation is
ÜB'ieniahle and we shall do well, de
spite thv fact that the possibility of an
understanding is not yet excluded, to
reckon on the arrival of momentous
new* from Home. The king and his
ministers it is true remained at the
capital to-day so that IVAnnuszio was
the undisputed hero of the day at Ge
noa but they did that only in order to
devote their undivided attention to the
last stage of the negotiations.
It still is possible that new pro
posals have been sent from Vienna in
ihe past few days and crossed 011 the
way the statement of the Italian gov
ernment to Vienna. This may lead to
further conversations but even these,
in the present situation, would demand
speedy treatment so one needs to arm
himself with patience for only a few
days more. We can await in calmness
Italy's decision."'
DESCRIBES FIGHT IN WHICH
ALLIED FORCES SUCCEEDED
IN LANDINC IN CALLIPOLI
liondon. Mar 6. —The Dardanelles
correspondent of the "Chronicle" has
sent the following under date of 4i ,r 'l
•'During the early fighting the Turk
ish positions ran from the crest above
Maides to the crest above Bogbali. Ttie
allies' t'orees were aloug the shore at
the mouth of the valley and occupying'
the Zasmnk valley.
"The allies then extended their
positions along the northern ridge,
whereupon the Turks' position on the
southern ridge became extremely dan
gerous because it was commanded by
the fire bothi from warships and landing
forces. On April 28, the point of in
terest was the southern tip of the pen
iusula where forces were landed in
-\lorto Hay and North of Gaba. During
the forenoon these troops occupied the
district extending a distance of about
a mile and a half from the point of the
peninsula.
"At Midday allied batteries began
a general advance. The Turks replied
from positions a mile from Krithia
which the guns of the fleet had set
atir* earlier in the day. Just north of
this village is Achibaba peak, seven
hundred feet high, which dominates the
region and is the chief obstacle to the
allied advance. The Turks retreated
gradually in that direction from (heir
positions in the southern part of the
peninsula. These movements were
easily followed from the sea especially
by clouds of dust thrown up by moving
batteries, and later the artillery duel
was plainly observed.
"Before evening the allies had
stretched their line across the penin
sula. showing an advance of another
mile and a half, while the Turkish
forces had retreated to the outskirts
of blazing Krithia. By nightfall the
town was virtually in the hands of the
allies and the fleeting was shelling
Achibaba preparatory to an attack
upon the positions there. The same
afternoon there was activity also in the
northern position below Gaba Tepeh.
Evidently good progress was made in
throwing the force across the peninsula
there with the object of commanding
the narrows from the heights above.
At this time a firm footing has been

men: 'Strike and we'll go with you.'
But the trainmen didn't strike with
them. If every a man was guilty of
high treason against hits fellows, it is
W. G. bee. He is the cause of suicides,
great loss of property and the break
ing np of homes.''
Lee to Have Chance to Reply
Commissioner Aishton urged that
I<ee have an opportunity to answer the
charge if he decided. Chairman Walsh
saiil the testimony would be sent to
Mr. Lee.
8. C. Long, general manager of the
Pennsylvania, reiterated statements on
the Pennsylvania's labor policy to
ward laibor made yesterday by Vice
President Atterburv.
Long's Statement About Strike
iMr. Long gave a detailed history of
labor troubles covering many years. Six
hundred trainmen who struck in 1914
never were taken back to work. The
railroad brotherhoods, he said, did not
authorize the strike.
On the s'hofOTen's strike, led bv
Pierce, he submitted a detailed report
concluding with this statement:
"Prom an observation of the occur
rence* in connection with this entire
trouble, it is evident they arose from
the persona] ambition of W. IH. Pierce
dent of that offered his
would be the head rather than from any
actual differences between the company
a«d its employes.''
Pierce As an Organizer
Concerning Pierce, the Pennsylva
nia Company also submitted through
Long, a statement saving fierce, for
merly connected with'the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Firemen and Knginemen
as a national organizer, after unsuc
cessful efforts to 'be elected vice presi
dent of that oTganiaztion, offered his
services to the railroad to handle legis
lative matters.
"Failing to secure this position," it
said, " he immediately started to organ
ise all classes of employes under an or
ganization called the ' BroPherhoi&d of
ftailwav Employes. His efforts, while
directed particularly against the Penn
sylvania, were not confined exelusivelv
to the employes of that company but
extended to other companies."
Summer Rival "Jitneys"
To care for the enormous crowd*
that went to the circus to-d'ay the Har
rieburg Railways Company ran an ad
ditional number of the car's to the show
grounds, the most of them being sum
mer cars which appeared for the first
time this season. The "jitney" "buses
also did a big business, while" a number
of truck owners fitted their trucks for
passenger transportation jjurposes.

LOCH IEL ROW NO MORE
Buildings Being Torn Down and the
Lumber Removed to Steelton
Lochic] Row, located in the south end
of Harrisburg, and for the past fifteen
or twenty years a menace to the police,
will be known in the future only in an
historical sense, for work has alreadv
begun on razing it.
The row was built at the time of Mia
erection of the Lochiel iron mills in"
1566. At that time it was a respect
able place, tenanted 'by steel workers,',
but when Ihe mills were moved the-,
place 'became inhabited by foreigners'
and ucgroes and drunken brawls took
the place of respectability.
The row was recently purchased by
Jonas Reiat, a real estate dealer, who,?
on Monday, started razing the build
ings. With the lumber from the build
ings it. is said IMr. 'Reint will'erect a
similar row in .Steelton.
