FOX KILLER GETS BOUNTlES
Edward Knapp Is SO Richer Then He
Calculated He Would Be

When Edward Knapp, hunter, nailed
the pelts of two grey foxes, two red
foxes and two weasels against the
smoke house at his home in Dauphin
last winter, his intention was, he said
to-day. gust to see how many l would
get by spring time" Then he intend
ed disposing of them to fur dealer
Later it developed that his collection
was worth SIS more than he had orig
inally estimated.
Knapp, having learned Of the plan
to pay bounties for killing noxous
beasts, took the pelts before Squire
Richard NJ. Steckley, in Dauphn, this
morning and made affidavit that he
killed the animals that once wore them.
The squire, after cutting the ears from
the pelts, made out certificate.
Then Knapp took the next train and
came to Harrisburg. His claim for So
will be paid by the County Commission
ers next Wednesday. Nothing is al
lowed for killing red foxes. bounty
of So is allowed for each grey fox and

Governor SIGNS Bills;
Goes TO PHILADELP PHIA
One of the Measures He Approves Gives
Harrisburg and Dauphin County
Right to Build Joint Court House
and City Hall

Governor Brumbaugh left for Phila
delphia last night to pass the weekend,
and to-day planned to have confer
enee in the Bellevue-Stratford hotel
with manufacturers of Philadelphia on
the child labor bill. Before going the
Governor announced he had approved
the Jennings Uniform Partnership bill
which provides detailed definition of
the nature of partnership and code
governing the relation of partners to
each other and to those with whom they
may have dealings, the property rights
and liabilities of a partner, and the
method of dissolving partnership.
Approval also was given to the Kline
bill which provides that a city and coun-
ty may Jointly construct public build
ing to be used by both, which means
that should Harrisburg and Dauphin
county get together on new court
house project, to be used by both, the
law now sanctions such an agreement.
Other bills approved were as follows:
Backman bill, appropriating to the
State Highway Department for road
construction and maintenance $751;
771.42, being the unappropriated bal
ance of the automobile license funds
in the State treasury.
Jones bill, requiring public record
to be kept at the County Treasurer s
office of the names, addresses and of
flee hours of borough and township tax
collectors.
NGovernor Brumbaugh vetoed House
bill No. 213, validating certain city and
borough ordinances and contracts that
were not recorded in the manner re-
quired by law. The Governor says this
bill proposes by legislative enactment
to correct mistakes of certain officials.
He adds:
'It seems to me that the proper re.
course in all such cases lies with the
city and borough authorities employing
such officials. The courts are the cap
able instruments of correcting rather
than the General Assembly"

10 FUNDS FOR SEWAGE PLANT
That Reason Given By City Engineer
For City's Failure To Build It

Harrisburg has not complied with
the State Health Commissioner DR..
Samuel q. Dixon, to provide a sewage
disposal plant as a means of abol-
lshing the present system of "dump-
ing sewage into the Snsquehanna
river, because the city officials have
not yet finances at their command
with which to make the Improvement
so City Engineer Cowden said to-
day.
Plans for a disposal plant that
would entail cost of $1,000, 900 or
more, for years have been on file in
the office of the State health commits.
sioner, Mr.. Cowden said. He added
that the plans have been approved
by the State officials, upon the condi-
tion that certain amendments be made.
Those changes could be made in five
minutes, according to Cowden.
The original plan was to put the
disposal plant on an island, opposite
the city. The engineer suggested that
the city no doubt will get a renewal
of its State permit, under which it
can continue to deposit sewage in the
river until the disposal plant is
completed He added that in his
opinion the city officials acted wisely
i'm not going to big expense years
ago to build this disposal plant, say
ing it is his belief that in view of
many improvements made to sewage
systems within the last few years it
will be matter of only few years
until cheaper substitute may be OBJ
tanned for the costly disposal plant.

new ARGENTINE WARSHIP
IN COLLISION With BARGE
Big Battleship Runs Ashore After
Sinking the Smaller Craft-Floased
This Morning and Then Proceeds on
Journey Apparently Uninjured
By Associated Press.

Philadelphia, March 27.-The new
Argentine battleship Moreno, which
sailed from here yesterday for Hampton
Roads, collided last night with barge
off New Castle, Del, thirty miles down
the Delaware river, from this city. The
barge was sunk and the Moreno went
ashore where she remained fast until
$50 a. m to-day when she fioated The
Moreno proceeded down Delaware bay,
apparently uninjured, and is expected
to pass out to sea during the day.
The Moreno, which draws more wa
ter than any other battleship built on
the Delaware, anchored at Deep Water
Point yesterday waiting for high tide.
She got under way about sundown and
met the tug Mars towing string of
three coal barges in ballast from Boston
for Philadelphia. Bargemen declared to-
day that the. steering gear of the
Moreno was working badly with the re-
suit that the battleship and the barge
Enterprise collided. The Argentine ship
slowly swung around and despite the
efforts of her pilot, the big vessel went
ashore on Goose Island The Enterprise
had hole stove in her side and slowly
settled in the river until her deck was
submerged. The crew of the barge es-
capped and went aboard one of the other
barges.
Aid was summoned from Philadel-
phia during the night and several tugs
went to work on the Moreno on the ris-
ing tide early to-day. AS the battle
Ship was not hard aground on the mud
fats the tugs had no trouble in pulling
her off.
The battleshio Moreno is one of the
most powerful fighting ships afoat. She
was recently turned over to the Argen-
tine Republic and with a crew of 800
officers and men is on her way to Halnp-
ton Roads where a reception in honor of
the new ship will be held on board the
vessel. Later the Moreno will return to
Delaware bay where she will take on
additional coal and then steam for
South America.
