Judge A. o. Lane: T note with pleasure the growth and progress of the playground movement. The advantages of open air and enjoy able exercise, for the youth of the city, cannot be over estimated. We must remember that the girls and boys of the present day will soon have the destines of the na- tion, the state and the cities and the towns in their hands, and we should do all we reasonably can to see that they have sound minds in sound bodies. Physical health is a prerequisite to mental vigor and wholesome open air exercise is the largest factor in the attain ment of these essentials to true womanhOod and manhood
 George B. Ward: 'Tn years to come the playgrounds and their re- suits will be the city's pride.'
 James Weatherly: "Playgrounds and recreation centers in large cities have been found by experi- ence to be of great benefit to the young and to the working people. The bigger the city, the more they are needed and the more they are used by the people the greater the needs for systematic direction and control of such use by trained ex- perts. The movement. so far, in Birmingham has been emlnently successful, showing that the people understand and appreciate the movement as an educational and social factor in the city's develop ment.'

CHURCH IS NO LONGER
At ODDS WITH ITSELF
Kesher Israel VIII Inform Court
That Election Wound Is
Healed

Kesher Israel as a church is no
longer at odds with itself and in the
very near future the Dauphin county
court will be formally informed of
that fact.
The history of how the Jewish house
of worship was divided against itself
and how the matter got tangled up in
the law courts dates back several
months when an action was begun by
one section to restrain another section
from electing to membership certain
applicants. Violation of the constitu-
tion of the church was charged in
method of election.
After a hearing before the court it
was decided that the matter would be
settled by q regular election conducted
under the direction of Attorneys
Beidleman and Rosenberg and Brady
and Ziegler, counsel for the contend
ing factions. That election was held
last night and the issue was based up
on the candidacy of Ben Abramson
Ben was elected by 80 to "a vote and
then the opposition voted to elect the
other half dozen or more disputed
applicants to full membership by ac-
clamation Ell Goldstein is now pres
ident of the congregation; Wolf
Friedman, viCe-president; Meyer
Gross, treasurer, and A. Dublin is
secretary.

FOREIGNER TELLS
POLICE DEAD MAN
WAS HIT BY BRIDGE
Says He Met Death Accidentally
Near Lebanon; Held For
Further Inquiry

Following a complete statement Sat
urday night by Alexander Derkach ex-
planning how Michael Sodonsky. whose
dead body was found on the top of a
Reading freight car last Thursday, was
killed, Acting Coorner Rudolph X.
Spicer yesterday ordered the body
buried in Potter's field.
Derkach. who was seen jumping off
the car on which the dead body was
found, and who has been in Jail since
Thursday. had been telling different
stories. Saturday afternoon the man
told Captain of Police Joseph p.
Thompson that Sodonsky was struck
by bridge near Lebanon. This state
ment was later substantiated by Read
ing officers who had been making in
quiries
According to Derkach's story, he
and Sodonsky were mission workers
among Russian Jews. They left New
York for Middletown, but had only
money enough to pay their car fare
as far as Lebanon, where they boarded
a freight train. short distance west
of Lebanon there is q signal bridge.
Sodonsky was standing on the top of
the car when he was struck.
Derkach said their visit to Middle
town was for the purpose of conduct
ing mission meetings. He declared
Saturday that he denied all knowledge
of how his comrade met his death
through fear of being held by the
police. Derkach will be held for a
day or two pending further inquiries
as to the notes found in the dead
mans pockets.

Guarding and Housing
of Prisoners Will Be
Big Problem of War
Br .4ssociatcd Prci,

London, Aug. II, $50 a. m. - A
troublesome problem of the war is
likely to be the housing and guard
ing of prisoners. Already more than
5000 Germans have heen captured
before the battles have really begun.
Th Belgians are sending a large pro-
portion of these prisoners into France.
When the big fighting commences,
with at least 2,000,0 900 men engaged,
the number of prisoners probably will
run into vast and embarrassing totals
on both sides.
There will be exchanges of pris-
oners, but these are not always easy
to arrange. Another difficulty is an
ticipated in the matter of the. COM
missariat for unprecedentedly large
armies. The Germans are even now
confronted with this gigantic task.
The Brussels correspondent of the
Reuter- Telegraph Company says to-
days official communication of the
Belgian War Office is largely devoted
to anecdotes and unimportant Incl
dents. This is done evidently to sat
isfy the public demand for news with
out betraying any information re-
garding the movements of the troops.
For example," says the correspond
ent, "a story is going the rounds here
of soldier who has taken several
German prisoners. He is quoted in
the War Office statement as saying:
Noll L ldhe a Tllle WIN me now.
go out with a slice of bread and but
ter and they follow me into camp
"One of the prisoners told a Bel
gian officer, it is said, that the Ger
man soldiers were told that they must
go on or be shot. He added: They
forgot that we needed sleep occasion

Two Belgian aviators were COM
PEELED to land between the opposing
armies owing to engine trouble. Be-
fore repairs had been effected a party
of Uhlands came u pand the aviators
took to their heels, regaining the Bel
gian lines. Two days later it was as
certained that their aeroplane was
still at the same place, guarded by
the Uhlans. Thereupon, it is declared,
the airmen mounted a rapid fire gun
in an automobile and making a sud-
den attack upon the Germans, rescued
the airship and escaped unframed"

dispatch from Amsterdam which says
it is reported that Austrian troops in
Belgium are under the command of
Count Won Buelow, commender of the

New York's "High Cost
of Living" Committee
to Stop Speculation
By Associated rrcsl

New York, Aug. 17.-Plans to stop
speculation, which is said to have
much to do with the increasing price
of food were to be perfected to-day
at a meeting of the executive board
of the mayors committee of 1913 ap-
pointed last week to aid Federal and
county officials in their Investigations
of the causes of upward trend of the
cost of living.
Joseph Hartigan, city commissioner
of weights and measures, who is
working with the committee, planned
to present to the board a scheme in
operation among grocery and drug re-
tailers by which they form associa-
tons and purchase in large quanti-
ties for the member stores, thereby
obtaining marked reductions from the
usual middleman's prices. Commits
sioners Hartigan believes that uni
formally lower prices would result if
there were more of these associations
or cooperative stockbuying com
panies.

McCormick's Bulldozers
Pull Off Shabby Political
Trick That Is a Boomerang

Chambersburg, Pa, Aug. 17.-Frank-
lin county people who attended the
Path Valley reunion on Saturday are
indignant to-day over the manner in
which Vance c. Mccormick. Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor, be-
trayed the confidence of the commit
tee in charge by discussing politics
from the platform when the chairman
hao requested him not to do so. They
are angry also over the trickery of the
candidate and his friends in prevent
ing the speech of Senator E. e.
Beidleman, of Harrisburg, and the
whole plan of the Democratic nominee
TO make capital for himself has acted
as boomerang that will lose him
hundreds of votes in this county in
November.
Mccormick knew before he went to
the park that he intended to violate
the pledge of nonpartisanism that was
required OF the speakers at the out
ing and he knew also that If he turned
the meeting into a political gathering
the men who followed him. including
Senator Beidleman, would tell the
audience some unpleasant truths
about the "holier than thou" candi-
date.
So. through the instrumentality of
certain Democrats led bYDr. c. Leroy
Hartman, candidate for the post office
OIL CnamDerSburg and head of the
Democratic League, plot was laid
the night previous to bar Senator
Beidleman from the platform by bull
doing the chairman, and this was
pulled off successfully notwithstanding
that Senator BeidIeman was APP
preached when he reached the
grounds by the chairman and assigned

already bore his name as speaker
SHIDFiSinu Snnnph
McCormick's speech was a gem.
Those who know how he forced HIM
self on the Democratic ticket for
Mayor of Harrisburg, when he was
elected by the expenditure of some
$4,000 in the most corrupt election
Harrisburg has ever known, will smile
to learn from the lips of this same
Mccormick that he was "the popular
choice at that time. They will also
be glad to learn, in view of the fact
that Mccormick. Palmer and Presi-
dent Wilson dictated the present
Democratic ticket in PENNSYLVANIA,
that the day of two or three men
getting together in a back room and
selecting candidates is past" accord

Eubernatorlal nomination he said: 1T
Is no longer possible for a political
party to let two or three men go off
into room by themselves and select
candidates for u.s."

Wilson Will Send War
Tax Note to Congress
of Funds Are Needed
BY Associntcd Prcsr

Washington, d. c., Aug. 17.-Con-
slderatlon of the problem of raising
money TO offset losses in customs rev.
enues due to the outbreak of the Eu-
ropedn war continued to-day at the
White House. The President met
senator Simmons, chairman of the
nnance committee, and Representative
Underwood, chairman of the House
ways and means committee, and dis
cussed the question.
Earlier the President old callers
that he had not arrived at an opin-
ion as to the best means for raising
the necessary additional revenues. He
said the possibility of issuing Panama
Canal bonds to meet the expected de-
fciency had not been seriously con-
sldered by the Administration as yet.
The President Senator Simmons
and Representative Underwood agreed
that special tax probably would be
necessary, but no time for beginning
It's operations was settled on. When
Treasury officials conclude that addi-
tional funds are necessary the Presi-
dent will send special message to
Congress asking that a tax be levied.

Aofficial word from his government on
reports that Turkey had bought the

lieve that such reports were correct.
AS proof of Turkeys intention of

sion in Turkey, engaged before the

bought from Brazil.

that the voters had been responsible

didates. whom Mccormick loves to
term boss selected"
Big Crowd Filters
In view of what the big crowd knew
of Mccormick and the back room con-
ference at which he was nominated
the speech was funny and there were
smiles and titters all over the audience
when he concluded.
The strong-arm work of the Nc
Cormick henchmen was shown not
only when they shook their fists in
the face of the chairman of the meet
ing when he attempted to introduce
Senator Beidleman, but during the
period when a moving picture man
tried to make pictures of the speak
ers. Whenever he attempted to pho
tograph Senator Penrose this gang of
desperate politicians rushed between
the Senator and the camera. Finally
the exasperated operator climbed on
the grandstand and thus got a pic
ture of the Senator while theangry
gangsters stood off helplessly mutter-
ing their rage. 1t was the most dis
gustlng spectacle of political BULLDOG
ing Franklin county has ever seen and
illustrates the desperate ends to which
the Democratic candidates are resort
ing.
Senator Beidleman Speaks
Senator Beidleman did get chance
to speak, however, in the evening be-
fore the Montgomery House where
nearly a thousand people heard him.
And he told the crowd some whole
some truths about the Democratic
candidate.
He said that it was the practice
in order to detract the attention of
the public from their own shortcom-
ings. AS an instance he related the
attacks of Mccormick on the asses
sors of Harrisburg and Dauphin coun-
ty while the McCormicks continued to
hold property which, is assessed far
below its real value. He cited an in
stance of a plot along the River road,
Harrisburg, of So acres and another
of is acres assessed at 1900 an acre
and then showed how the McCormicks
had purchased one-fifth of an acre
adjoining for $1,175, or at the rate
of $4,000 an acre. This is a sample
of the fairness and honesty of this
man who cries so loudly for honesty
and fair play" said Senator Beidle-
man. IF he is all he claims he is
why does he not go to the assessors
and tell them to raise the valuation
to a fair figure?"
Senator Beidleman's address was
continually interrupted by applause
and whenever a street car passed the
crowd requested him to repeat parts
of the address that had been lost in
the noise.
