Urged That Second Dock
Shall Be Placed at Foot of
Broad Street or Somewhere
in That Locality

Above are two etchinGs showing
the coal dock on the river wall at
Paxton street. This is concrete
wharf scheme where large quantities
of coal will be delivered from the
river operations. 1t is now proposed
to put another such wharf from n
point south of the Market street bridge
northward almost to the bridge at
Walnut street. There is much opposi-
ton to this plan since it seems to be
entirely unnecessary and will spoil the
general wall treatment in the center
of the city.
1t is alleged that some provision in
the John Harris grant makes neces-
sary the keeping open of a wharf at
this point. but 1t is urged by those
who regret the installation of another
wharf so close to the one at Paxton
street that 1t will be an easy matter
to overcome the provision of the Har-
ris grant by simple driveway to the
river without the unsightly dock
scheme.
1t is stated that if the necessity
exists for a second coal dock ii should
be placed at the foot of Broad street
or elsewhere in that locality owing
to the large amount of coal that is de-
livered from the river at that point.

7. R. WILL AGAIN HAVE
HIS HAT IN THE RING
Colonel, Speaking French, Told
That in Pennsylvania
He Is Dutch

New Orleans. La, Sept. 9.-During
his tour through the sugar belt district
of Louisiana yesterday Theodore
Roosevelt practically announced that
he will be a candidate for the presi-
dency.
His pronunciamento was made at a
conference of Bull Moose leaders at
New Iberia. There it had been de-
cided in a stormy convention to choose
John Nj. Parker as the Progressive
candidate for Governor. Colonel
Roosevelt said:
We will need John NJ. Parker to
run with me as our vice presidential
nominee. Had I been elected before
he would have been the first man
called to my Cabinet"
Throughout the sugar belt Colonel
Roosevelt was introduced as our next
President" He made more than a
dozen talks and one set speech. In all
of them he attacked the tariff on
sugar, raped the Republicans and
criticised the Democrats.
Through a part of the district he
rode white horse at the head of 200
Rough Riders. At several of his stops
Colonel Roosevelt noticed that the ma
jority of his audience as composed of
French. He then tried to make his
speech in French, but admitted that
his handling of the language was
rotten"
Mes amis." the Colonel would
shout. "Je regret due ie no parle pas
bien lie Francais.'
The crowd would shout back "Vive
Monsieur Roosevelt! Monsieur the
next President"
At his New Iberia meeting the
Colonel had to divide the time with a
big Frenchman who insisted on being
heard. This is what the Colonel had
to listen to:
"Yas, thta iss all right. Monsieur
talks to us now in French and is glad
to be one of us; him, yes. We are
his amis and he wants us to vote for
him. yes. Back up there in Pennsyl-
vania, up there in the North-how
about that, heh? Don't he suppose we
know he tell the PENNSYLVANIA Dutch
the same thing. heh? He was proud
up there of his Dutch ancestry yes

that here. no. Maybe the war is the
reason, heh?"

will be made daily with many extra
daring stunts in the air.
The race entries are large this year
and the racetrack is in fine condition.
A new system of sprinkling, the only
one of its kind in Pennsylvania, has
been installed.
The displays of machinery and au-
tomobiles are larger this year than
ever before and there is also a large
display of wagons and buggies. The
exhibition hall is a sight worth all the
year have run into thousands. Some
of the fruit displayed is of the
choicest kind.
The display of quilts. spreads, pill
