HEATED DEBATE IS
NOW GOING ON i!
BASEBALL CIRCLES
1t All Has to Do With Question
as to Whether Married Or
Unmarried Ball Players Are
the Best.
BY Frank C. Menke.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-There's a
heated debate going on just now in
baseball circles over this suh jet:
rs a married ball player OF more
value 20 a club than "a bachelor ball
player"
one faction-the welded faction
asserts loudly that the welded gent
is more valuable 10 the club while
another factiOn-the unwedded gents
take the opposite viewpoint It
looks like a deadlock
The welded fellow says that after
q ball player gets married he quits
frivoliEg and that the less frivOling
the better IL is for the ball club as a
whole. That faction asserts that after
ii bail player gets married ne becomes
steadier In his habits: he doesn't stay
out All night. or even half the night.
lie realizes that he has family re-
sponsibilities and that he must keep
working so as TO hold his job and
thus hSep the wolf from the door

ollie O'Mara. who shortstops for
the Brooklyn Docgers. and who is
spokesman for the bachelor gang. has
this TO say:

''As soon as a guy gets married he

past. He doesn't try the long shots
on bases that he did before he got

As soon as "a fellow gets married ne

at all other times he plays the love

INVESTIGATION At
GRADE CROSSINGS
Public Service Commissioners Will
Hear About Fatalities; Big
Inspection to Start

Orders were issued to-day by Chair
main Ainey, of the Public Service
Commission, for investigations and re-
ports on the grade crossing fatalities
in Middletown and Hummelstown. The
chairman will have the reports sub
mitted to the commission when 1t
meets Tuesday.
Chairman Ainey and Secretary
Miller of the Public Service Commits
sion will leave here tonight on a trip
of inspection of the grade crossing
situation in South Philadelphia, Eddy
stone and Chester. Applications are
pending for approval of grade cross
ings in Eddystone and Chester and
the inspection will cover the whole in
.dustrial district from South Philadel-
phia to Chester. A meeting with peo-
pie interested will be held in Phila-
delphia for discussion of ways ana
means to provide for gradual elmina-
ton of existing grade crossings and
of establishment of those needed for
future industries in such manner that
the public will be protected.
Conferences were held yesterday
with representative of the Philadel-
phia and Reading, Ligonier Valley and
Baltimore & Ohio railroads for the
purpose of discussing ways for re-
moval of grade crossings on the Lin
coin highway which is to be taken up
by the commission.

Title to Fleming
House Not Yet Held
by City Civic Club

Pending a decision from the Dau-
phin county court as to the ownership
of the new Civic Clubs headquarters
in the Fleming house in North Front
street, adjoining the pumping station,
it will not be possible for the energetic
organization of Harrisburg women to
proceed with their plans for the oc-
cupanCy of the handsome house with
the Italian garden.
Trouble over the title came when
the banking institution in New York
city which is acting as custodian of
the late Mrs. w. r. Fleming's estate,
declined to pass title to the Civic Club
Notwithstanding her bequest to the
Civic Club because of the fact that it
was not an incorporated association.
Since the question was raised how
ever. the Civic Club has taken out a
charter.
Recently some heirs of the residu-
airy estate of Mrs. Fleming have be-
come interested in the contest and are
hopeful that they may yet become
owners of the fine Harrisburg resi-
dence which the Civic Club hopes fin
ally to occupy. 1t is probable that the
Supreme Court will eventually have
to determine the whole matter mas
much as banking institutions hesitate
to pay out funds to unincorporated
bodies. President Judge Kunkel has
the case under consideration and will
probably hand down a decision on his
return from Port Deposit where he
is spending the summer with his fam
lily.
AS a result of the difficulties of the
Civic Club through its failure to take
out a charter the Wednesday Club,
another well-known organization, has
recently asked for charter.

NEW STATE law To
PROTECT PUBLIC
Commissioner Dixon Inaugurates
Medical Inspection of Hotel
and Restaurant Workers

Statewide enforcement of the act
to protect the patrons of hotels, res
'taurants, and eating houses, which
was passed by the last Legislature,
was begun to-day by DR.. Samuel G..
Dixon, Commissioner of Health. All
of the local boards of health in the
boroughs and cities have received
communication from DIR. Dixon en-
closing copies of this act and calling
upon them to instruct their health
officers to make regular inspection at
intervals of at least once month to
secure the strict observance of the
provisions.
The law prohibits the employment
of any individual in the capacity of
cook. waiter. chambermaid, kitchen
help or other house servant suffering
from trachoma- active tuberculosis OF
the lungs, open skin tuberculosis,
syphilis, gonorrhea, open external cam
GER, or BARRIERS itch. 1t requires that
the proprietors of all hotels, restaur-
ants, dining cars or public eating
places, shall institute. and maintain a
medical inspection of employees of this
class at intervals of at least twice a
year. for the purpose of excluding from
their employment persons found to
be suffering from any of these dis
eases. The law provides that between
the times of these regular inspections,
if notice is served on the owner or
manager of any such place by physi-
clans or by the health authorities that
an employe is suffering from any OF
these diseases, they shall be promptly
excluded from employment in the ca
pacity mentioned.
The law also requires the proper
cleansing of all dishes and eating and
drinking utensils. 1t prohibits the use
of public towels and common drinking
vessels.
Under the provisions of the law, the
person, firm or corporation violating
any of the provisions of the act, upon
conviction in a summary proceeding
before any justice of the peace or al
derman, If found guilty, is subject to
fine of not less than five dollars or
more than one hundred dollars. or inn
prisonment in the county jail for not
more than thirty days. or both, at the
discretion of the court.
When interviewed regarding this
subject, DIR. Dixon said: "Tlis ad-
mirable act of assembly gives the To-
cal health authorities and the travel
ing public an efficient means of pro-
tecting themselves against serious in
fections. which in the past have un-
fortunately been too common. While
railroads and the better class of hotels
have instituted an inspection service
for the protection of the public, there
has on the whole been a general dis
regard of the possibilities of wide
spread infection from the diseases
mentioned in this act owing to the
carelessness of employees and en-
ployers. The traveller and restaurant
patron, who of necessity support the
eating places and hotels, have a right
to be protected
The penalty clause attached to this
act makes 1t readily enforceable by the
local authorities and we feel confident
that it will result in a widespread i'm
provement of conditions in hotels and
reStaurantS'

GERMAN PLOTS HERE
PROVED, SAYS LONDON
Archibald, American Writer, Car
ried Dispatches to That
Effect, Is Report

London, Sept. 3.-The New York
Suns correspondent has every reason
for stating that the documents taken
from James F. ]. Archibald, the AM
erican magazine and newspaper writer
who was arrested here yesterday while
on his way to Germany. are of the
highest Importance, containing incon-
trovertible proof of the completely OF
certain German Embassy officials in
Washington in fomenting and organ
izing strikes and other unneutral acts
in the United States.
One document in particular may be
described as nothing less than an Off
cial report to a certain department OF
the German Government on these
topics, detailing the progress made
and the effect obtained.
While not in a position to give the
text of the document, The SUMS cor
respondent has good grounds to pre-
dict that in view of its Importance TO
the United States its contents will be
communicated to Washington.
In view of these revelations the
courtesy with which Archibald was
treated, he being subsequently released
and hurried from Falmouth across the
country to Ramsgate in order that ne
might rejoin the liner Rotterdam off
the Downs, where she is lying tenn
porarily, is the best indication of the
attitude of the British authorities to-
ward Americans.
Archibald's plea that he was acting
innocently not only is not believed but
is discredited by the documents found
on him. He asserted that he was sim
ply carrying letters of introduction to
various high German officials and was
unaware that there were any contra
band MESA ges" among them.
lol GY-Sf
ed in Falmouth he absolutely denied
carrying anything, but he made no
impression on the officers and he fin
ally gave up one letter from the Aus
trian Ambassador to the United States,
Mr.. Dumba, in which the latter re-
quested him to deliver documents en-
closed at the Austrian Legation at
The Hague, and If that was inconven-
lent to the Austrian Embassy at Ber-
lin. ~g@
One letter from Capt. Won Papen,
the military attache of the German
Embassy in Washington, thanked
Archibald for the offer to carry some
documents and wished him safe voy-
age and success. Archibalds record
has been known to the authorities
here for some time. His recent visit
to Germany and the articles which he
wrote are remembered on account of
their virulent anti British tenor.
The success which attended the ef-
fort of the authorities in catching
Archibald just as he was about to sail
for Germany is merely one of many
which have not been made public.
The care which is now taken by all
persons entering England is illustrated
by the case of the Suns correspondent
who was asked to declare on his word
of honor that he had no documents
for the enemy.
There is extreme likelihood that
Archibald will be relieved of his Am
erican passport to Holland. The au-
thorities here are wondering what
reception he will receive in Berlin
when he arrives minus the documents.

PARK IS
MAIN LINE FEATURE
Pennsylvania Railroad to Have An
other Attraction on Middle
Division

Work on what promises to be the
most attractive scenic park along the
entire Pennsylvania Railroad system
Upton on the Middle Division. II is
expected that the ornate beauty spot
will be completed before winter ar
rives.
Situated adjacent to the main line
passenger tracks, the new plot will
be plainly visible and passengers will
be afforded an excellent view of
pleasing bit of rustic beauty which
will doubtless arouse as much favor
able comment as the scenic features
of the famous Horseshoe Curve.
A force of workmen is now at work
removing underbrush and other
superfluous growths of small trees and
shrubbery. Grading has been about
completed.
Recently a large retaining wall
along a small brook which fits into
the scene and heightens the parks at
tractiveness, was built. Concrete
walks have been laid about the pro-
posed park which will include several
acres.
Flowers of various hues and kinds
will be planted during the next sew
eral days under the supervision of
Chief Gardner Emil EngeIman and
his assistants. Appropriate shrub
berry is to have a prominent place
in the new park and a number of
shade trees are to be planted.
AS the site is a natural beauty spot,
the company will have but little
work to do in creating a valuable and
desirable woodland recreation re-
sort. There will be no picnic
grounds or amusements on the site,
the Pennsy plans to preserve the
spot solely for it's splendid natural
attractions.
Upton is eleven miles east of AL
toona and five miles from Tyrone. Ac-
cess to the park will be only for in
spection according to one middle di-
vision official yesterday.

one stretch of about one hundred feet

stretches Immediately south of Divi-

ers of the properties not yet paved
will complete the sidewalk improve
ment before the municipal. celebra-
tion.
This sidewalk not only adds greatly
to the general appearance of the River
Front but also remedies the conditions
which were formerly serious owing to
the fact that pedestrians were COM
PEELED to use the asphalt roadway and
many narrow escapes from accidents
were recorded.
