Howard Loses Command
as Result of Dinner
Special 70 The Teiegrofi

Washington, d. c., Jan. %. - An
echo of the Carabao banquet, at which
the administration Philippine policy
was ridiculed here last month. was
heard at the Navy Department to-day
when Secretary Daniels revoked an
order assigning Rear Admiral Thomas
B. Howard 10 command the Asiatic
fleet. succeeding Rear-Admiral Regi-
nald f Nicholson, Instead, Admiral
Howard will relieve Rear Admiral w.
G. Cowles, commanding the American
squadron off the Pacific Mexican
coast. and Admiral Cowles will take
command of the Asiatic fleet.
Admiral Howard was chairman of
the Carabao dinner committee and
with the other members, high army
and navy officers. was reprimanded at
the direction of President Wilson after
an investigation of the travesties and
songs which featured tho military So
ciety's banquet.
Under the circumstances we did
not want to send Admiral Howard to
the Philippines said Secretary Dan
ields to-day. But as we have every
confidence in him, we did not want to
give him a command that would in
any way appear to be a pun 'shment,
so we decided to send him to the Pa
cific Mexican squadron. This arrange
ment is entirely satisfactory to Ad-

on Government Owned
Railroad For Alaska
By Associated Press

Washington, Jan. 22.-The project
for a government owned and operated
railway in Alaska was up for vote in
the Senate to-day after nearly two
weeks of debate. BY unanimous con-
sent it has been agreed to begin the
roll call at 4 o'clock after Senators

their announced speeches on the bill,
and Senate leaders were confident 1t
would pass by an overwhelming nom
partisan vote.
The subject is yet in the first stages
of debate in the House, where Dele
gate Wickersham, of Alaska, has of
fered measure virtually the same as
the Chamberlain bill. Several weeks
may elapse before the House acts.
The Chamberlain bill, as amended
in committe, would authorize the
President to construct about a thou-
sand miles of railway at a cost not
to exceed s35.000.000 to connect some
point on the Pacific coast of Alaska
with the interior of the territory.

DEPLORADLE STATE
Of STREETS BOOST
FOR REPAIR PLANT
City Would Benefit by Erecting
Its Own Operating

YARDS OF PRIVATE" WORK
Yearly Report of Contractor
Walter Shows What
Was Done
YARDS OF PRIVATE" WORK

One of the more important of the
big municipal improvements that will
be made possible by the final passage
Tuesday of the 100000 bond issue
ordinance will be the city asphalt re-
pair plant. For this item $4,000 has
been voted.
The repair plant problem is doubly
important Just now for two reasons
practically the city's entire street area
is paved or to be paved, and the mis-
cradle condition of the citt's highways
so far as lack of repairing is con-
cerned was continual black eye to
Harrisburg throughout the admins
tration of ex-Highway Commissioner
Elmer E. Fritchey.
That better things are in view for
the coming season since the advent of
Commissioner Lynch goes without
saying Under his regime as High
way Commissioner the city's streets
were in splendid shape, and Mr..
Lynch, it is believed, will continue his
good work.
The city has let the street repair
work to Charles P. Walter and has
set aside yearly an appropriation of
S15.5O0 for the work. The unsatis-
factory condition of the city'S streets
has been such as to give ample
grounds for repeated inquiries by Won
dering citizens as to why more atten-
ttOll was IlOl given " repairing.
The deplorable condition of the as
phalted highways, the holes, the open
cracks. etc, were sources of much dis
satisfaction, and the Telegraph showed
by a series of photographs the exist
ing conditions. -
Much Private Work
That Contractor Waiter gave colf-
siderable attention to private" repair
work is shown by the annual report of
the street work for 1919 as filed in the
City Highway Department. In 1913
the contract work was begun May l 4

SCHWAB REPORTED
To HAVE HIS EYE ON
SPARROW'S POINT
Rumored That He Would Like to
Have the Steel Plant at
Tidewater
Special to The Telegraph

Baltimore, Nd, Jan. 22. There
have been well-defined rumors in the
local banking district for several days
that Charles Nj. Schwab, president Of
the Bethlehem Steel Company and one
of the foremost steel operatives in this
country, was a recent visitor to the
Maryland Steel Company's plant at
Sparrows Point. The report even fixes
his V it as having been made on last
Thursday and Friday when, 1t is fur
ther said, he made full examination
of the vast works at the Point. Off,
cials of the company deny the truth OF
the report.
1t is recalled that The Pennsylvania
Railroad, which has, perhaps, a con-
troll of the Pennsylvania Steel Com
pany, which in turn controls the
Maryland plant, will not be averse to
selling out these holdings If it can find
purchaser at a satisfactory price.
No one knows of this determination
better than Mr.. Schwab it is said, and
no one is better posted than he con-
corning the value such plant can be
made to his already extensive works
at Bethlehem.
1t is said by those best informed on
this trade and its needs that 1t is
doubtful if Mr.. Schwab would want
TO take over the entire holdings of the
railroad company and become the
owner of the Pennsylvania Steel plant
at Steelton, near Harrisburg. AS his
own plant is so contiguous to that and
is already in such shape as to supply
the needs 1t may be called on to meet,
these persons argue that he would not
want the interior works, though per-
fectly willing to take those situated
as near the coast as are those in Bal
timore.

Demand a Crossing

Plans for the erection of bridge
over the Pennsylvania Railroad tracks

toward the building of the much needed
structure in the upper end seem to have

Citizens of the West End are de-
manding some means of communication
between those sections on the west and
east sides of the Pennsylvania Rail-

cause of their extent. Riverside resi-
dents have asked for a subway at Lewis

TOO MUCH MACHINE
~-~vs ~

In striking contrast with the attitude Of the Alas ka Citizen @ of few weeks ago is the attempt which is now being made by the Garden is land. publication to put Marshal Er- win right with the voters of Tauaua. We refer particularly to an editor ial which appeared in the last issue of the Citizen .C?)s in support of the marshal's attempt to force his obnoxious primary pledge down the .throats of seI-rsspecting democrats.
 The argument presented by the Citizen @ is stupid; it is illogical and it is not based on facts. It is a weak defense of au unpopular move on the part of the local demo cratic machine,
 For instance, the Citizen l?) says that in the States, where the dir ect primary system has been adopt ed, there is Q similar precautiOn taken by law to prevent any but members from voting a party ticket, As a matter of fact, there is no similarity between the primary laws referred to and the Erwin primary pledge. which is objected to by the Times. In those states where ma chine politics have been partially f not entirely eliminated by progres- siye legislation, a voter, in order to participate in a primary election, is required simply to name the party with which he is affiliated. II he says he is a democrat, he is given a democratic ballot, and so on down the list. There is no pledge. for that sort of thing was done away with together with the machines in those states where the voters have asserted their rights.
 The pledge which Panama demo- crats will be required to sign be- fore casting their ballots at the forthcoming primary election did no originate with the democratic ceu- traI committee, as l.e Citizen l?D would have it's readers believe. It originated in the office of the Uu- Ited Stata0 marshal iu Fairbanks. and insofar as the Times has been able to ascertain, will be used ez- clusiveIy on the democratic voters of the Fourth division. This is the only division, apparently, with machine strong enough to enforce such a requirement.
 We suggest that Marshal Erwin give greater consideration to the rights of voters; they are entitled to square deal. and as for ob- jea,tng to the pledge requirement., they probably have @ good reason to suspect the motives of the mar saaI as he has to question their loyalty to the party.-Fairbauks Times.
