Message Will Treat Upon
Munitions Plants Fires
and Greater Preparedness
By Associated Press

Washington, Nov. 29.-President
Wilson's address to Congress next
week not only will treat upon greater
preparedness for the national defense
but will call the attention of Con-
gress to the explosions and fires in
American industrial plants.
The President intends to recommend
that the Sherman law be amended to
include severe penalties for such re-
straints of trade. Any division in the
ranks of American citizens whose
sympathies with the warning belliger-
ents may have led to excesses will be
emphatically condemned as un-Amer-
lean by the President.
In several recent speeches the Presi-
dent has spoken for America first
and called upon Americans to stand
united. That he considered the stu
alton of sufficient Importance to bring
to the attention of Congress, however
had not generally been raised. The
President is expected to refer to the
subject in his address in connection
with a general statement that the
United States can be really prepared
only IL all its citizens stand togtheI
and repel outside influences.

When Found in New York

Miss Frances Ramsey, 2 Evergreen

in New York, recognized the young
woman, and notified the police.
She was taken to the police station

risburg this evening.

the air saved DR.. Moffatt and his
daughter.
ReScueHs overcome
A number of persons responded to
the call for help and they were all
affected by the gas, which has no odor.
DR.. John E. Legge, who administered
restoratives, also was affected. DIR.
Moffatt was unable to hold service
yesterday. but is improving.
The furnace in the basement of the
house is heated with natural gas. An
investigation showed that the pipes
leading to the chimney had been
clogged with SCOT, preventing proper
combustion and driving the carbon
monoXide thus generated through the
floor and basement doorway to the
living rooms.
Almost a similar condition was
found in the parlor of the Elosser
home. it is stated. The couple were
seated near a gas stove. The room
was small and the doors were closed.
The flame on in full force with i'm
proper combustion, due to the chim-
ney being clogged. it is claimed. caused
the pair to be overcome in almost an
instant. The chimney in this case,
too. had been filled with SCOT.
In tests in the room small animals
were asphyxiated. and a chemical
analysis of the blood of Twigg and
Miss Elosser showed. it is claimed. un-
mistakable evidence of carbonmon-
oxide poisoning.

TAKE NEW STEPS
IN PARK PLAN
Municipal League Will Take
Up Matter of Acquiring
New Tract

Now that Steelton's borough council
has shown Il willingness to do all in
its power to help obtain a comprehen-
sive system of parks and Fairgrounds
for the borough, members of the Mu-
nicipal League are beginning to formu-
late plans for the next step in develop
ing the system mapped out by Warren
III, Manning, the Boston landscape
architect
At this evenings meeting of the
Municipal League c. s. Davis, chair
man of the park committee, will pre-
sent his annual report. in which he
will review the work done at the two
field day exercises last summer, and
will point out some of the things that
should be taken up soon by the league.
1t is the suggestion of Mr.. Davis
that the next move in the development
of Steelton's park system should be
aimed at the acquisition of the tract
OF land between the Luther r. Kelker
park apd the borough reservoir.
Would Enlarge System
This piece of ground would greatly
enlarge the park system by throwing
open to the public the big tract which
surrounds the reservoir. Then. too,
from the reservoir there is a ravine
| running down toward the county aims
house and touching a small wooded
tract near there suitable for park pur-
poses. If this ground were acquired
| by the borough it would connect
Kelker park with the new Cameron
driveway. part of the encircling drive
around the city of Harrisburg.
When Steelton's park extension ul-
| timately takes in these small tracts
and roads are built. tourists visiting
| Harrisburg who want to see the big
steel works at Steelton may motor
down past the plant and swing up
Swatara street to Kelker park. Then
they will be able to continue through
the shaded ravines and circle the en-
tire borough and come out at PaXtang
Park. or continue on through to Reser-
voir Park.

signed in full as wife of the accused

The resulting CONSERVATION was
great. but a kindly fate promptly
took the situation in hand. Acting
independently, as they did not know
one another, the five young men took
the poison PEN letters to William j.

There was no immediate relief for
the first conner, but when. three days
later. the second victim invaded Mt.

an asylum. Three of them were mailed
in the town where the asylum is To-

mailing just as many of these poison
