of his friends, jokingly he afterward

work to-day. Soon after midnight he
was rescued by the crew of a street

ton in the strike district Pickets in

obscure path. His skull was frac-
tured by a brick, and he was other

CLEAN UP THE RIVER
DEMAND BOATMEN;
WANT ROCKS REMOVED
Water Craft Owners Ask For
Action; Wall Work Is Re-
sumed

"Clean Up the River" is the slogan
that is now heard from the boat clubs
and owners of river craft. who believe
that the approaching completion OF
the river dam demands the immediate
consideration of some means for clear,
ing the channel of dangerous rocks
and Instructions
While some little headway was
made in this direction last year, there
is still considerable to be done before
the river shall have been cleared OF
dangerous rocks. Many of these most
dangerous Instructions are around the
piers of the Harrisburg Bridge Com
pany, which will probably he requested
to remove the rocks before the dam
shall have been completed. 1t is eX-
pected that the work on the dam will
be finished within the next two months
and whatever is to be done about the
clearing of the river will have to be
taken up at once.
Some blasting will be necessary here
and there. but it is thought that most
OF the distractions can be removed
without serious difficulty
In the near future 1t is expected
that a general meeting of canoeists.
owners of motorboats and other craft
and prospective purchasers of boats
will be held for the purpose of organ
izing big city boat club, which will
set organized action on some plan to
clear the river, erect municipal boat
houses, etc.
Following a conference late yester-
day afternoon an amicable agreement
was reached over the dispute growing
out of the change of line on the river
wall in the vicinity of Muench street
and to-day the Sucker Brothers Con-
struction Company, the contractors,
resumed work at the point upon which
work had been stopped a few days ago.

place.
The Rev. w. A. Jones, d. D., presi-

convention is the music. A mass choir
under the direction of e. r. Chamber

several weeks in preparation for the

1t Is said that the chorus is one of the
greatest musical gatherings ever as
sembled in this place.

Allentown is in the contest for
the State convention in 1916. Harris
burg endeavorers are hustling with
the distribution of literature and claim
that they have captured the conven-

conventions should want to go to the
Capital City, which has ninety-two
churches. of all denominations, and
gives it religious prominence in Cen
trail Pennsylvania.
Four more societies, of the Harris
burg Union, making the total forty
six instead of forty-two, are in favor

they hold their business sessions.

Friedman May Not
Escape Prosecution
Special TO The Telegraph

Washington, ID. c.. July 8. - Moses
Friedman, who volunteered his resig-
nation as superintendent of the Car
Isle Indian school after an investiga-
tion by the special congressional com
mittee, is said here to be presupposing
too much in his statement in Philadel-
phia. In the first place. the Depart
ment of Justice has not satisfied itself
that the statute of limitation has run
on all of Mr.. Friedman's alleged acts
of misconduct and prosecution is still
imminent.
Mr.. Friedman sent his resignation
to Commissioner Sells three days after
the congressional committee had he
gun its inquiry into charges preferred
by the Indian Rights Association of
Philadelphia. All of the charges were
preferred by this association. In ac-
ceptng the resignation Commissioner
Sells said in a statement issued at the
time that it did not absolve the accus-
ed superintendent from any action
that might be taken by the Depart
ment of Justice.
Officials connected with the Indian
Bureau say the statement of Mr..
Friedman does not merit a repIv
However. Commissioner Sells said he
might have something to say to-mor-
row.
The commissioner smiled at the
suggestion that Mr. Friedman would
appeal to he President. He is not at
all disconnected by the statement of
the deposed superintendent In the
next few days he will go to Carlisle
on a tour of inspection and ATTEMPT
to reorganize the school.

MANNING WILL PLAN
COMPREHENSIVE PARK
SYSTEMAT STEEETON
Big Possibility of Joining Borough S
Tracts With Those of This
City ..

That Steelton. before many years,
will have a comprehensive public park
system, developed along lines similar
TO that of Harrisburg and laid out so
that they eventually may become a
part of the Harrisburg parks, is now
practically certain.
Plans are now being developed by
Warren Fl. Manning. the landscape
artist who planned the parks of the
city, for a system of parks for Steel
ton. AT recent meeting of the bor-
ough council committee from the
Municipal League requested that some
steps be taken towards the develop
mnet of the Luther r. Kelker park,
east of the borough. Councils refer
red the matter to the finance and high
way committees. These two commit
tees We're given the authority to Sc
cure the services of some landscape
architect to draw up plans and the
services of Warren II. Manning have
been secured, it was announced to-day
by Charles r. Holton, secretary to
council, this morning.
Mr.. Manning has already looked
over the kelker plot and also the plot
of ground surrounding the reservoir
at the end of Swatara street In this
latter tract there are about ten acres
of high ground that could be devel-
oped into a beautiful park. The Kel-
ker plot also contains ten acres and
lies close to the reservoir tract.
May Join Harrisburg System
1t is the plan of the joint committee
to have Mr.. Manning suggest plan
for developing these two tracts so that
they may ultimately be Joined into
single park. This proposed park will
join with the Harrisburg parks some
where near Paxtang by a driveway.
The committees in charge of the
project hope to be able to have the
plans drawn and everything in shape
so that the driveways may be marked
out and trees planted some time in
October

Unfair to Regard Democratic Party
and Senate as Enemies, He
Says
WANTS MIR. JONES CONFIRMED
Also Earnestly Hopes That MIR.
Warburg Will Reconsider
His Decision

washington, ID. c., July S.-Declar-
ing IL would be unfair to regard the
Democratic party as the enemy of big
or little business President Wilson to-
day gave out a statement in support
OF Paul Warburg, of New York, and
Thomas ID. Jones. of Chicago, his
nominees for the Federal Reserve
Board
President Wilson's statement fol-
lows:
1t would be. particularly unfair to
the Democratic party and to the SEN
ate itself to regard it as the enemy of
buslnes, big or little. / am sure that
II does not regard a man as an object
OF suspicion merely because he has
been connected with great business en-
terprises. 1t knows that the business
OF the country has been chiefly pro-
NOTED in recent years by enterprises or
EaniZed on a great scale and that the
vast majority of the men connected
with what we have come to call big
business are honest, incorruptble and
patriotic. The country may be GER
tam that 1t Is clear to members of the
Senate as it is clear to all thoughtful
men that those who have tried to
make big business what 1t ought to he
are the men to be encouraged and
honored whenever they respond with
out reserve to the call of public service.
Setting an Example
predict with the greatest con-
tidence that nothing done by the
Democratic majority of the Senate of
the United States will be of a sort to
throw suspicion upon such men. Mr..
Jones and Mr.. Warburg, in manifest
ing their Willingness to make personal
sacrifices and put their great expert
ence and ability at the service of the
government, without thought of per-
sonal advantage. in the organization of
great reform which promises to be
so serviceable to the nation, are set
ting an example of patriotism and of
public spirit which the whole country
admtres. 1t is the obvious business of
craftsmanship at this turning point in
our development to recognize ability
and character wherever It has been
displayed and unite every force for the
upbuilding of legitimate business along
the new lines which are now clearly
indicated for the future"
The President said to-day he
earnestly hoped Mr.. Warburg would
reconsider his decision not to accent
the nomination and that he was urging
him to do so. He expressed con-
fdence that Mr.. Jones would be con-
firmed.
