Editor, StarIndependent.
Dear Sir-I am not resident nor
property holder in that portion of
Front street called "Hardserabble, 4"
but | was present for an hour or more
at the hearing held in the council
chamber of the court house on last
Friday.
The hearing was for the ostensible
purpose of finding out the values at
tached to the properties to be taken
over by the city of Harrisburg for the
purpose of identifying the river front.
| listened at that hearing to men who
were sworn, giving an estimate of
what they thought their property was
worth, and it seemed to me that the
people of that section were at de-
cided disadvantage.
The City Solicitor was there in the
interest of the city of Harrisburg to
determine, if possible, not only to Dust
these people from their homes, but to
get their houses at such rate as al
most might imply confiscation. Surely
where men have lived in homes. reared
their families in them. and become at
tached to them. they deserve some
consideration, and the viewers should
consider that most of them, at least
those who have not employed attor-
neys, are left defenselcss before the
City Solicitor.
As understand it, the wipiny out
of this place is for the benefit of the
entire city, and l have higher opin-
ion of the citizens of Harrisburg than
to believe they would justify the tax
ing of these properties without suf-
tieient remuneration to the owners to
purchase homes at least as good in
some other part of the city.
| heard lecture once by distiu-
guished parsonage on his travels
through Europe. He stated that in
Germany he passed a house of the
smallest possible dimensions, but over
the door were these words: "Klein
Gber Mein' (Little but Mine) The
houses of these people in Hardserab-
ble' are not as palatial as they might
be, but the owners have paid their
taxes for years on them. They have
observed the laws, and to my mind
they are entitled to the fullest con
sideration at the hands of what | be-
leve is fair-minded set of viewers
at least they so impressed me as a

THE SPOILERS"
Rex Beach's Masterpiece at the Regent
Next Week

The moving picture masterpiece,
The Spoilers, from Rex Beach S
book and featuring William Farnum,
will be at the Regent Monday. Tues
day and Wednesday, next week. "The
Spoilers" is thrilling, powerful and
picturesque Averile masterpiece, played
at Chestnut Street Opera House, Phila-
delphia, Pa, for two months at fifty
cents and dollar. The most wonder
fui story ever filmed. The same will be
at the Regent theatre two performances
at night and three during the day on
account of the length of time required
to show the piece complete. The pro-
duction was for eight weeks a record
breaker at Studebaker theatre, in Chi
eago.
1t is thrilling, red d-blooded story of
strong men battling for supremacy,
with all their power of mind and mus
ele-alert for every east of chance.
This picturesque, rugged romance of
Alaska has love story with splendid
imagination that grips and holds the
sympathies. 1.-The Spoilers presents
the most stubborn, strenuous and eXcit-
ing fight ever pictured-the acme of
realism. We see a whole town dyna-
mited and volcanic earthquake. 1t is

When the Superintendent of Police of Pittsburgh

Mrs. Pankhurst Observes Truce

Patriotic fervor draws thunderous
cheers in place of old time jeers,h is
the way London newspaper heads an
article on Mrs. Pankhurst as a popular
war orator. The paper itself is vio.
lently antisuffrage, but honors the war
truce which the suffragists announced
at the beginning of the conflict. 1t
was only a year ago when speech by
Mrs. Pankhurst was signal for q riot
if allowed to proceed at all. Now she
is described by reporter in these
words:
" A graceful, dignifed figure the suf
frage leader makes as she faces the au-
dience. Over a becoming black dress
she wears a black lace shawl; sus-
pended from thin gold chain in a
lorgnette which she does not use. The
Union Jack centered across curtain
of green forms the stage back,
ground"
Her women followers still send up
floral offerings to the stage, says the
reporter. In speaking, Mrs. Pankhurst
carefully avoids passion and invective,
but she presents her points clearly and
tellingly and with conviction. AT the
finish of her speech, young suffragists
sell postcard souvenirs for q patriotic
fund.

EFFECT OF RoTHscHILD's s DEATH

The death of Lord Rothschild, head of the English
branch of the Rothschilds, family whose vast
wealth can only be guessed at has not yet
caused any apparent disturbance in banking affairs
The great tnancier's business will no doubt go on
without the slightest interruption Dispatches
from London say that the death is regretted, but
that the markets are unaffected by it.
1t is not known just how much of the total Roths
child wealth in the possession of the late head
of the English branch, but whatever the amount
was, it was vast. The English government has
been dependent at times on Rothsehild gold, have
other European governments; yet the wealthy Lord
Rothschild dies and so far actual consequences
in financial circles concerned, he might well
bave been penniless cockney vagabond.
! The powerful fnancier himself is gone but he
has not taken his gold with him. That remains
invested as he left it. Other members of his family
will continue TO reinvest it and increase it in the
businesske way of all Rothschlds. A wealthy
man has left the world. but his place is Immediately
filed by some other competent tinancier of family
of fnancers. His wealth itself is undisturbed. 1t
has merely changed ownership.
The intermarrying of the Rothschilds for GEN.
tury has of course kept the accumulating wealth
in the family. There has been mental or physical
weakness apparent through the several generations
On the contrary when member of the family dies
successor is always ready to fill his place capaby
and to superintend judciously the steadily growing
fortune.
Lord Rothschild who died Wednesday was the
first man of Jewish faith to be elected to the British
Parliament, where he served from 1865 to 1885 In
the latter year he was made peer. He had all the
thrift of his predecessors, did his share in adding
TO his familys fortune and occupied the place of
of the worlds wealthiest men, Yet banking
affairs have been undisturbed by his death for the
simple reason that the Rothschds have the good
business sense to train the younger generation of
the family that the latter can take hold of the
vast business when the older generation pass out

have beneficial results. If the Pittsburgh police
men are really good vocalists they ought to make
successful reformers as well as captors.
BY arrestng wrongdoers and seeing to it that
the guilty ones safely lodged behind the bars,
the policemen be of only average usefulness.
If, however, after they have accomplished the inn
prisonment of the criminals they gather about the
cells and sweetly sing to the occupants, they can
exert their influence for good in marvellous way.
Adding insult to injury the scoffers may term
it, but such remark is entirely uncalled for.
There always persons who want to treat lightly
the most serious matters. They would not hesitate
to make faeetious comments even on the singing of
these solicitous Pittsburgh policemen to auditors
who are confined in cells and cannot get away. We
may expect any day now to encounter in so-called
funny columns somewhere poor pun on this matter
in its relation to Sing Sing.

TIN PLATE INDUSTRY REVlVES
Reduced Scale of Wages Responsible
for Improved Conditions
By Associated Press.

Pittsburgh, Pa, April 2.-Business is
reviving in the sheet and tin plate mills
throughout the country, according to
John Williams, president of the Anal
gamated Association Of Iron, Steel and
Tin Workers, who last night returned
from visit to number of mill towns
in the district. Very few plants, me
said, were working on war contracts.
the business being for domestic con.
sumers.
MIR. Williams credits this improved
condition to a revival which has been
coming slowly for months, but more
particularly to the acceptance by the
workmen of the reduced scale of wages
adopted last week. This, he said, per.
mits the independent manufacturer to
again go into the market for business
and many of them already have placed
their mills in operation.
