THE STAR SPANeLED BANNER
By Francis Scott Key-1s1D
Oh, say can you see, by the dawD's
early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the
twilight's last cleaning,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars
through the perilous fight
Ger the ramparts we watched were
so CALAMITY streaming?
And the rockets red glare,
The bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that
our flag was still there.
THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER
By Kate Blake-Is14)
Oh. say can you see, you who glory
in war,
All the wounded and dead of the
red battles reaping?
Can you listen unmoyed to their
agonized groans,
Hear the children who starve, and
the pale widow weepings
Henceforth let us swear
Sldll HUI III
Nor wars desolation wreck all that is
fair,
But the Star Spangled Banner, by
workers unfurled.
Shall give hope to the nations and
peace to the world.

Preacher Who Put Stereopticon in

age of 20, was pastor of Grace Meth

duced an innovation in church SER
vices by the use of the stereopticon,
and may thus be said to have been the
pioneer of the church motion pictures.

illustrated his talks with colored Bibli-
cal pictures hrown on a screen from
a magic lantern" drew large crowds.
After leaving here he went to Kan

a member of the staff of his uncle,
General Bowman, and later wrote a
book for boys called What a Boy Saw
in the Army" His latest work was
a volume on Gettysburg" the result
of a visit to Gettysburg last year and
of his own army experiences. He was
a nephew of Bishop Thomas Bow
man, who died at Orange, N. j., last
year at the age of 95.

Plan Blockade
of Germany's Port in
China If War Develops
By Associated Press

Pekin. July 31.-The British heet>to-
day deserted Wei-Hei-Wei and sailed
at midday with sealed orders, thus full
filling its long-standing orders. The
British officials considered the place
not worth defending.
Hongkong is to be the British naval
base in China and In case of war the
German possession of Tsing-Tau is to
be blockaded.
Wei-Hei-Wei had no Notifications,
while Tsing-Tau is fortified on both
the and and the sea sides. The Ger
mans believe that the Notifications
will afford them ample protection.
The British boats on leaving took
their defensive men with them.
The crews of the British rive gun
boats dismantled at Hankow yesterday
are to be taken on board the battle
ship Triumph, which hitherto had been
manned by only a nucleus crew.
The Austrian cruiser Kaiserine Eliz-
abeth, on which the guard from the
Austrian legation embarked a few days
ago, will not attempt the voyage home,
but will remain at Tsing-Tau.
The Italian gunboat Sebastiano Ca
boto also is sailing toward Tsing-Tau.
German bluejackets to-day disman-
tied the gunboat Vaterland al Hankow.

ALL STOCK BROKERS'
EXCHANGES HERE ARE
CLOSED DOWN ALSO
Follow Action of Markets in Other
Cities; "War Talk" Ram
pant in Town

All the stock brokers' exchanges in
this city followed the action of the
stock trading in other cities of the
country and closed down to-day be-
cause o fthe European crisis.
1T is true 1t was said at the head
quarters office of one the biggest
firms to-day, that we've closed down.
This is a direct result of the European
crisis. Not, however, that American
securities are in any danger, but we
have ceased trading in order to avoid
a possible flood of securities by people
who may become frightened. This,
of course, is not to be desired to say
the east.
The exchange is closed indefinitely
that is to say. no time has been fixed
for reopening. So,' he concluded,
any selling or buying of stocks that
is carried on now will be done by in
%dividuals not through the exchanges"
Much War Talk
Harrisburg to-day thus got it's first
actual taste of the possibilities of the
expected clash that may result in the
change of the map of Europe.
Banks and other business houses in
this city as well as in the towns in this
section, wre eager to learn what the
cessation of trading meant and many
of the war inquiries that set the Tele-
graphs telephones buzzing to-day,
were from banks and other institu-
| tons.
"War-talk' was the subject of gen-
eral discussion throughout the day and
the newspaper offices and bulletin
boards were the objects of as much at
tention as during those few days that
one Mr.. Huerta had been directed to
do some saluting-and didn't.

NIT for that was issued yesterday for
the construction of a 500, 900 ware
house at Tenth n Market streets to
be occupied by the Emerson-Branting-

The amount represented this year
falls below hat of 1913 by $1S5,6S0,

Late War News
Banking Situation in
London Is Discussed
by British Cabinet

London, July 31.-The banking sit
uation in London has become so alb
normal that it is understood that the
British Cabinet at its meeting to-day
discussed the possibility of taking
measures to prevent a possible panic.
The Bank of England was to-day
charging 10 per cent. for weekly ad-
Vances, an unprecedented rate.
This action was taken by the Bank
OF England in order to check the out
flow of gold.
1t is suggested in financial circles
that the next move possibly may be
the suspension of the bank act, which
regulates the issue of bank notes in
England.
While there had been little or no
excitement such as might have been
witnessed in other cities during a f.
nancial crises like hat which London
is going through, the scenes in the
city to-day We're unlike any since the
great Quincy Bank failure for $685.
0OO,O 0 in 1866, when the government
found it necessary to suspend the bank
act so that the Bank of England would
not be compelled to pay gold for its
notes.
During the Indian mutiny in 1857
the bank act also was suspended and
the rate rose to 10 per cent.
The main entrance to the Bank of
ElSIdHu was DeSleSeQ by holders OF
notes waiting to have them changed
into gold, and in the afternoon the
crowd became so great that the gold
laced officials formed them into lines.
Most of them were messengers from
the smaller banks or from business
houses, but occasionally there was a
white-aproned butcher boy rubbing
shoulders with a city magnate.
DFayS await gold
At the other frontage of the bank
dozens of two horse drays were drawn
up awaiting their turn to get into
the gate to be loaded with gold and
silver which the banks throughout
London were getting in exchange for
Bank of England notes held by them.
The street was ined with police
men, not so much in fear of a panic
as to prevent the purloining of the
valuable canvas bags which con-
tanned the much sought after cur
rency.
The opinion was general that the
Bank act would be suspended as it
was argued that when the gold once
got out of the hands of the bank
there was nothing to prevent it's being
SEN abroad.
There was no crowd at any other
banks but many depositors were
quietly Withdrawing their savings.
Fifty brokers informed the stock
exchange committee that they would
be compelled to default on account of
the postponement of the Paris settle
ment, and it is believed fifty more
would have gone to the wall if the
market a not been closed.

County to Allow S Per Cent
Abatement For Taxes
on Money at Interest

Five per cent. abatement on all taxes
on money at acknowledgements,
mortgages, etc. - will be allowed
to city holders If paid within sixty days
after 1t becomes due, July 1.
The County Commissioners decided
upon that action to-day, and the new
rule goes into effect with 1914 taxes.
The county at present allows 5 per
within sixty days and the money on
interest. or personal property tax" as
1T is sometimes called, will be an addi-
tional abatement. This is made pos
sible because of the fact that under the
recent act of Assembly the county re-
all the county taxes and none of
1t Is retained by the State. Heretofore
a fourth of 1t was kept by the State.

MALL|STER, BUILDER
Of CHICAGO ELEVATED.
SYSTEM, IS DEAD
Dies at Harrisburg Hospital; Direct
Descendant of John Harris;
Lived Life of RecIuse

Dickinson McAllister. aged 90 years
a descendant of John Harris, died at
the hospital early this morning.
Mr.. McAllister was the son of the
late Squire j. J.. McAllister, for many
years justice of the peace at Rock
vile, and was at M time president
and general manager of the Chicago
Elevated Railway Company.
Death was due to an acute attack
of Bright's disease, from which Mr..
McAllister had suffered for a long
time. He ven to the Harrisburg Hos
pital three days ago. One brother,
John, of Harrisburg, survives. The
funeral arrangements will be an
nounced later.
Dick McAllister for the past three
years was living a retired bachelors
life at his bungalow near the Reilly
farm at Fort Hunter. Previous to
taking up this abode, Mr.. McAllister
lived at the old McAllister homestead
at Rockville, along the river road.
A large part of Mr.. McAllister's life
was spent in and about Rockville and
Fort Hunter. He was educated in
the public schools at Rockville and
the Harrisburg Academy. Mr.. Meal
lister later went to New York city,
where he studied civil engineering un-
der the late William +. Skunk. After
success on many large contracts in
and about New York city, Mr.. Nc
Allister went to Chicago, where he
was placed in charge of the construc-
ton of the Chicago Elevated Railway
system.
This work vas handled in such a
capable tanner by MI. McAllister that
on it's completion he was made gen.
eral manager of the Elevated Com
pany. In 1900 he was elected presi-
dent of the company. Five years later
Mr.. McAllister resigned as president
and came East, where he has re-
manned ever since.
Mr.. McAllister's acquaintances were
numbered among the most prominent
railroad and construction engineers
in the United States. On his depart
ure from Chicago he was dined by the
Elevated Railway officials and was
presented with a book containing the
signatures of every official and every
employee of the company. This trophy,
and many others collected by Mr.. Nc
Allister, were among the attractive
features at the bungalow at Fort
Hunter.
Mr.. McAllister was an ardent hunter
and angler. His home contained many
specimens brought home from numer-
ous trips.

Newspapers tn Vienna
Not Allowed to Refer to
Occupation of Belgrade

Vienna, July 31.-The police au-
thorities have forbidden the publica-
ton of extra editions of the news
papers and ven the regular editions
have not been permitted to refer to
the occupation of Belgrade. which is
still not generally known.
The Austrian plan of campaign, it is
understood here. is to attack Servia
chiefly by way of Bosnia, while the
armies on the Danube, in the north,
simply occupy positions and remain
temporarily inactive. The course of
operations at the frontier is not known
in any way to the public and even
officers of the reserve say they have
been given no information.
