STREAM TO CREST TOMORROW

All Susquehanna food records for
July are expected to be broken to-
morrow. when the river is likely to
crest at a 13-foot stage. according to
Fcrecaster e. r. Domain, of the United
States Weather Bureau.
The next highest record was made
in 1902, when the river went to S.5
feet. The unusually heavy rains of
yesterday and throughout the last
week are responsible for the extraor-
d;nary condition of the stream in mid
summer.
The State Water Supply Commission
has been busy during the last forty
eight hours sending out warning of
the approaching floods to all manufac-
tUrers. businessmen and agriculturists
who are likely to suffer loss in the case
of high water catching them unawares.
Warn Contractors
The Grayce Construction Company,
which is building the new Cumberland
Valley Railroad bridge across the river
at the foot of Mulberry street, was
warned last night of an approaching
10-foot food for Saturday morning,
with the probability of higher water if
the West Branch continued to rise.

tons of war munitions on board after
an explosion which may have been

DENY NEW CHANGES
IN |NTERNAT|ONALS
President Fogarty Says Circuit
Will Remain as at Present
Rest of Season

President Thomas A. Fogarty, of the
ball club. who is the direct representa-
tive of the International League in
this city, emphatically denied the pub
lished report that there would be fur
ther changes in the league circuit dur
ing the 1915 playing season.
Rumors of changes were given out
in statement by President McCulloch,
of the Pittsburgh Federals, early in
the week.
There will absolutely be no changes
in the International League circuit
during the 1918 playing season." de-
clared Mr. Fogarty this morning "The
report emanating from McCulloch, of
the Pittsburgh Federals, is absolutely
ridiculous.
Everyone knows the Buffalo Inter
national League club has the Federals
on their back in that city and 1t is only
question of a short time until the
Feds will be forced to seek another
city.
"The situation in Newark is des-
perate and latest advices from that
place indicate a speedy retreat from
Newark. The International League
club owners to man are perfectly
satisfied with their respective local
conditions and are determined to see
the fight go to finish.
The attendance at Harrisburg has
been particularly gratifying and proves
that Harrisburg fans are keen to .ap.
preciate a good ball club"
When Manager Eddie Zimmerman,
Of the local club. was interviewed he
denied the statement attributed to him
regarding a shift of other International
League clubs and termed It piece Of
cheap publicity on the part of the
Feds.

TWAS A WET CAMP

Flood of Waters Made Gretna Sea

This Morning
Special to The Telegraph

Mt. Gretna. Pa, July 9.-With in
formal ceremonies owing to the soggy
condition of the parade grounds and
the mass of work facing the soldiers,
Camp Major General John w. Schall,
which will be the scene of the annual
tour of duty of the First, Third and
Fourth Brigades, n. G. p, for the
this morning at o'clock with the
raising of the flag to the music of
patriotic airs by the band. The exer-
cises were held in front of the head
quarters of Major General C. Bow
Dougherty.
More ceremonies were held at the
headquarters of both General Charles
Clement and General C. T. O'Neill, of
the Third and Fourth Brigades.
The men found a very uninviting
camp facing them when they detrained
last evening. The heavy deluge of
rain had converted roads and gullies
into raging torrents which overflowed
the sites of tents. The flood of wa
ters made the place a sea of mud.
The Second Infantry succeeded in
raising mess tents and 1t was there
the men spent the night. The First
Infantry occupied shelter tents, but
early this morning unloaded their
Camp equipment and erected the regu-
lar tents.
The question of water supply for
the First Brigade is causing consid-
cradle concern because the contrac-
tors have not succeeded in completing
their contract to run lines into camp
Water for the details were carried this
morning in tanks but it is believed the
line will be finished by tomorrow
morning when the First Brigade COM
mands reach here.

Think Park Bench Suicide
May Be a BaItimOrean

Coroner Jacob Eclxinger has asked
the authorities of Baltimore to assist
in trying to establish the identity of
the unknown man who committed sui
eide on park bench in this city some
time Wednesday night. A money or
der stub in his pocket has been traced
to Baltimore and baggage believed to
be his has been found at Camden sta
tion. Baltimore.
There is absolutely no truth in
statement published to-day to the
effect that the man had been identified
as a thief. Some effort was made to
connect the suicide with robberies in
the West End. but 1t failed, as there
appeared to be no semblance between
the dead man and the thief.

''TeIl Mother Not to Worry" Con-
cludes Note Police Think
Suicide Wrote

July 8. 1915.
"When this is found l will he
drowned. Tell mother not to

worry. Good-by. William"
Written on one side of a folded
paper drinking cup, this note was
found at five o'clock this morning by
a man on his way to work.
The drinking cup was lying on a
bench in River park near Front and
South streets, and only short distance
from the bench on which an un-
identified suicide was found early on
Thursday morning with bullet hole
in his head and one in his body, Just
over his heart.
Fond mothers will probably be
anxious until their williams" return
safely this evening and the police are
waiting to hear at any moment that a
body was seen floating down the river.
The authorities however do not be-
lieve that the suicide lying in the
morgue at G. H. Mauk's, Sixth and
Kelker streets, is the man who wrote
the note of this morning, because of
the initials "E. F." engraved on a
silver watch found on the clothing of
the dead man.
The note which was given to Police
man Kepford was turned over to Cap
tain Thompson. The man who found
it went to work and the police did
not get his name.
