I'm MIES Ml ST SELECT ROADS FOR STATE AID The responsibility of County Commis sioners in the question of State-aid for ; highway construction was made clear to-day by State Highway Commissioner Cunningham when he told a delegation from Seottilale, in Westmoreland coun ty. that the County Commissioners siiiiul i co-operate with the people in their county in selecting the most neces sary road for State-aid some counties, Commissioner Cunning ham explained, there are a dozen or more applications for State aid. The | funds available for this form of high- I way construction arc limited and there j fore it is necessary for the County i iCommissioners to consult with their ' constituents and to determine which I one. or which two. of the State aid ap- ; j plications shall be t ressed. Commis-! i sioner Cunningham declared that it is i unfair to the State Highway Depart ment for the County Commissioners, in I such cases, to put the burden of select-1 ! ing the application to be worked, on I the department.

SMALL TRACT PURCHASE DEFEATED IX THE HOUSE The House to-day defeated the Sones j Senate bill providing for the purchase of the small tract in York county fori the erection of a home for delinquent j boys, by a vote of 58 "ayes'' and 99 ■ ; "noes." Mr. Nisslev, of Dauphin county, bore the brunt of the debate for the; bill which was very spirited. The bill was called up from postponed calen- j , dar by Mr. Geiser. of Northampton, i and it was immediately attacked by . Mr. Wilson, of Philadelphia, who char acterized it as a vicious one in so j much as it required the commission, j priposei by bill, to purchase a certain j plot of ground. The bill, he said, provided that the | j plot be purchased if an agreement can 1 be reached whereby the purchase price lis not more than $75,000 and that the i around be taken by eminent domain if : it cannot be acquired at that price. Mr. Nisslev sav 1 it was a good bill, the only argument against it being that it might open the way for the commis sion to be unfair. This was taken up by Mr. Wilson, of Philadelphia, as be ing an argument against the bill. There was some discussion as to the need for t the proposed home and Mr. Baldwin, 1 of Delaware, said that neither the Glens Mills nor the Morganza homes are '' filled. The plot designated in the bill lies ; : four miles from York aiv !■ in on the line of the Northern Central railroad. . between Harrisburg and Baltimore, j The Hess resolution providing for | the appointment of a commission to in i vestigate teachers' pensions and draft ; bills, was passed. Mr. 'Maurer, of Berks, presented a petition, by request, asking ■ for the impeachment of Judge Bald ridge, of Blair county, base-.! on testi • monv taken before the Federal Indus ! trial Commission. The petition was re- I ferreil to the Judiciary General Commit- I tee, which will not act on it at this session of the General Assembly. The House at 1.30 o'clock took a reVess until 3.30 o'clock this aiter ■ noon. HARRISBURG STAR-INDEPENDENT, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 19, 1915. ROTARY CLUB IS- TOLD OF PLAN FOR LOCAL SCHOOLS Professor Koch, of Department of Pub lic Instruction of Pennsylvania, Lec tures on Advantages of Six-Year High School Arrangement In an' address at a dinner held last night by the Harrisburg Rotary Club, Professor Charles D. Koch, of the State Department of Public Instruction, told of the advantages of the plan now in operation in many cities of dividing public school training into six years of elementary and six years ot high school work, the latter divided into Junior High school and Senior High school. He expressed the opinion that in this city three buildings would' be needed to accommodate the students of a Ju nior High school, and pointed out that those would have to be suitably equipped with laboratories for first in structions in elementary sciences. He estimated that there would be 1.550 boys and girls in the Junior High school and 840 in the Senior. Professor Koch is consi .ered one of the best authorities on the six-year plan. He was selected to lecture on it at Schoolmen's week at the University of Pennsylvania recently. In intro ducing him, Dr. Samuel /.. Shope, chair man of the Educational Committee, made a plea to the members of the club to be more concerned about the edu cational interests of the city: "For some years you have been | paying taxes to be spent on educational j work, but I venture to wager that less j than ten per cent, of jou have beenj inside of a school room since the teach-1 ers and School Board graduatei you I just to get rid of you; or since you were permanently fired from school for insubordination, or clandestine love making or some other fiendish depreda-1 tion. "You ought to get around to the school at least two or three times a year to encourage the teacher, the "school authorities anvi the pupil by j showing that you are interested in see-; ing what you get out of those taxes. You would go fast enough if the school house was your factory, orchard, vine yard, cornfield, hennery, or pig sty. "Your actions seem to prove that you do not realize that children con stitute the one really important crop this countiv raises. '' All are uo doubt aware in some ■ vague way at least, of the fact that our school authorities are considerably ! hampered in our Central High school. At the meeting of this club two months; ago. it was admitted, by those in a po sition to know, that there is no pros- | pect of removing within the next ten I years this handicap to our boys and ' girls—this impediment to the advance- > ment of educational interests in this, i city. "With these unwelcome tidings' i ringiug in our ears, your educational j committee went to work to find a solu- 1 j tion to the problem now and believing) we h»ve foun'.i it we reported at the last meeting. Receiving the unanimous! I endorsement of the club and instruc-1 ■ tious to proceed with our investigations \ we come to you to-night prepared to I further enlighten you on the six-six I j plan." 2 VOTES SURE FOR CURFEW Republicans. However, Decline to Say How They Stand Toward Measure Errors in matters of form but not | of substance, contained in tire curfew I ordinance which is now pending before 1 the City Commissioners, make it nee j essary, it was sard 1 to-day, that the j measure be amended again at next Tuesday's meeting of the Commission, j I This means the ordinance cannot be \ considered on final passage before ! June 1. Mayor Royal yesterday announced at the Commission's meeting that he i will vote for the curfew ordinance. Fi ! nance Commissioner Gorgas formally announced to j lay that he, too, will vote for the measure. But one more vote | is needed to assure the passage of the ; bill. Some dependance is being placed in one of the Republican members for 1 that vote yet none of the majority j members would say publicly to-day how j he proposes to vote.

LATE WAR NEWS SUMMARY Continued Prom First Paso. of keeping Italy out of the war. Ev ery preparation for hostility has been made, the German and Austrian Am bassadors are ready to leave Rome and the Italian railroads have been placed under military control. It is said the final decision will be known quickly aft er Parliament meets to-morrow. Reconstruction of the British minis try apparently has been decided, al though it is believed the Unionist lead ers will seek the formal sanction of their followers at a party meeting be fore definite action is taken It Is as sumed in London that sweeping changes will be made in forming the coalition government. A dispatch from Mytilene says Brit ish troops have been landed by the al lies on the Asiatic side of the Darda nelles near the entrance to the straits. The Turks arc now said to possess an abundant supply of shells, after having been threatened for some time with a shortage. The British steamer Dumcree of 2,5(10 tons h&s been torpedoed in the English channel. Her crew was saved. Official announcement was made in London to-day that the allies are im proving daily their position on the Gallipoli peninsula. Their progress is slow, however, and the Turks are offer ing effective resistance. On the western front a lull has come after the heavy fighting of the last fortnight. Bad weather is interfering with military operations. The official French statement says there have been no new developments of consequence. GERMANY'S REPLY TO U.S. NOTEWILL PROBABLY REACH WASHINGTON IN 10 DAYS Washington, May 19.—Official in formation was received here to-day of Germany's reply to the American note will not be completed for at least a week and probably not reach Wash ington for at least ten days. It is now known with some definite- ! ness that Germany will indicate her | willingness to have her submarines act j toward all merchantmen just as de stroyers Or cruisers ami give ample time for passengers and crew to leave, provided merchantmen are unarmed or if passengers and contraband traffic are separated. That position is looked upon with some favor here, provided 't is suggested as a modus vivendi or temporary arrangement and does not | involve the relinquishment by the j United States of the tights of its citi- j zens to travel anywhere on the high j seas on enemy or belligerent unarmed ships. U. S. Will Insist on Demands There is an insistence ou the purt of the United States, however, that the principles of law and humanity ex pressed in its note must be recognized ' and admitted by Germany and that any intention to destroy American lives on the Lusitania must be disavowed. This the United States will stand firmly on the principles set forth in its note has been conveyed indirectly and inform ally to Germany since the communica tion itself left here. • Another factor in the situation j which is expected to be clarified in a day or two is that with respect to Great Britain over the embargoes pro claimed Toy the allies. Proposed Note for Britain. That a note has been in preparation on the subject and is practically com pleted is not known, but it is learned to-day that President Wilson probably will not make any move in that direc tion until Germany's reply is received. He is said to be unwilling to com j plicate the problem by new represen i tations aud is understood to believe that the issue between the United States anil Germany must be settled clearly on the questions presented in the note and that the United States should act without obligation and in its own way in the correspondence with Great Britain or other belligerents. ISAYS LUSITANIA'S VICTIMS . ! HAVE THEMSELVES TO BLAME Amsterdam, Via London, May 19. Captain Persias, writing in the Berlin "Tageblatt" regarding the United States and Germany, says: "If, in spite of the German Ad miralty's warning against entering the war zone, American citizens entrusted themselves to the Lusitania, the blame falls upon themselves and their govern ment. Can America guarantee that i neither guns nor ammunition were on board and, further, that a submarine, when emerging, was not exposed to be ing rammed by the Lusitania! If the answer is in the negative, as undoubt edly it must be, the American govern- ment. after calm deliberation, will un derstand it lias uo right to raise a pro test against the torpedoing of the Lusi tauia. "The German government, we ex pect, will have the firmness ta retract no step and should in this case be cer tain ot' the approval of the entire peo ple. We hope the lesson will be learned from the sinking of the Lusitania that 110 neutrals should entrust themselves to British ships or give them goods for tiansport." TO ADJUST MNGOFFRYE IN A GERMAN PRIZE COURT Washington, 'May 19. —Germany has sent to a prize court the case of the American sailing, ship, William I*. Frye, sunk in the "South Atlantic last January by the German auxiliary cruiser Priuz Eitel Friedrich, but it is understood that the German Admiralty took that action before it had received the American note insisting that the damages be adjusted directly through diplomatic negotiations in Washington. It is said by officials here that the reference of the case to a prize court will not necessarily prevent diplomatic • adjustment. The German government, ] it is said, probably finds it necessary, i under its legal methods, to develop cer- . tain facts through a prize court even j while negotiations may be in progress. As Germany has admitted in principle liability for the sinking of the Frye,; the State Department here will not feel concerned at this latest de- j velopmcnt. HOW U. S. CAN GKT GERMAN AID IN HUMANE WARFARE j Berlin, May 19.—The "Vossische 1 Zeitung" says: "If America succeeds in bringing it about, that the British merchant | vessels shall no longer sail under false | flags, that England shall cease arming . merchant vessels and that contraband i cargoes shall no longer be protected | by American passengers, then the Unit- j ed States will find Germany on her side in an endeavor to lead submarine war into more humane channels, "If America fails to influence Great Britain thus, the United States will j have to put up with submarine war, as 1 at present waged. She must take care I that her citizens enter as little into the ! naval war zone as they would into the | firing line near Arras, Lille or j Permysl. VERDICT OF WILFUL MURDER RETURNED AGAINST KAISER ; Ramsgate, Eng., May 19. —-A cor oner's jury to-day returned a verdict of j "wilful murder" Against Emperor Wil- 1 liam, in the case of John Smith, who l died as the result of shock following j injuries sustained in-the Zeppelin raid j on Monday. The coroner suggested that the jury ! fix the responsibility on the other per- I sons whom it regarded as being to j blame for war waged in this manner. German Commander Dies of Wounds London, May 19. —The Cairo corre- j spondent of the "Times" says he is iuformed that General Weber Pasha, j the German commander of the forts in ; the Dardanelles, has died of wounds. | Speyer Title Irrevocable London, May 19.—Sir Edgar Speyer j cannot divest himself of his baronetcy, which in his letter to Premier Asquith j he asked to have revoked. "Once aj baronet, always a baronet," said an j official of the College of Arms yester- | day. "Sir Edgar may cease to call himself a baronet, but he still remains j one, and, if he had any sons, the eldest | would succeed him all the same." Jesse McCarty to Be Burled at Dauphin (Special to the Star-Independent.) Dauphin, May 19. —Jesse McCarty, aged 85 years, formerly of Dauphin, died at Williamsport last evening of paralysis. The body will be brought here to-day to the home of Lewis Con rad.

Since the' arbitrators' fees I and the other costs of arbitration will run close to $7,000. the actual amount that will have to be found by the city 1 is placed by officials at about SIB,OOO in excess of the $12,000 balance. ; Whether the city will raise any (pies- j tion as to the size of the fees asked I by the three arbitrators could not be • learned to-dav. They each asked for I $1,500. City Has Borrowing Margin Finance Commissioner Gorgas point- ' ed out this morning that while no definite plans have been made for rais- | ing money to cover the SIB,OOO dc- j licit, there are at least two methods, J either of which could be adopted to j get the necessary money. One is to have the city confess judgment and j pay interest 011 the deibt to Oppornian ( until it can be paid from revenues in ' another year. a<nd the other is to issue : bonds as the city still has a borrowing j capacity. City Solicitor 80 it z his held that j since the city's indebtedness, aside j from that authorized by the voters, is about $600,000 less than the local j ! borrowing capacity of two per cent, of j ! the total realty valuation, the City , 1 Commissioners have the right to make loans up to $600,0'00, without obtain- j 1 ing the approval of a majority of the : electors. If there were any questions of doubt raised as to the legality of that plan, Mr. Gorgas also pointed out that to ad i just matters an amicable court proceed ' ing could be staged and the court de termine the mode of proeeedure. To , that end the Finance Commissioner, I the Mayor and the City Clerk, would refuse to affix their signatures to the j bonds and the City Commission could Icite them into court 011 a mandamus i and seek to compel them to sign the bonds. Arbitrators Decline to Talk ! The arbitrators, Joseph L. Shearer, Jr., Farley Gannett and Roy G. Cox. | declined to-day to discuss their report ami findings, suyitig they do not feel 1 that they are called upon for com | tnent. J. William Bowman, 1 one of the I mentibers of the Board of Public Works i said this morning that since he has not yet been officially notified of the arbitrators' decision he believes it would be unwise at this time to say more than t hat he was much surprised ' by the size of the aw.ird. The Public Works Board will discuss the award at | its regular meeting to-morrow evening. I U. S.
