Willie Richie is student enough of
boxing TO realize that fights improve
a mans ring technique. When no one
was looking Willie put on his gum
shoes and tip-toed into Philadelphia
and fought young Mr.. McAndrews'
Willie wanted TO have a fling at the
real thing before he met the british
foe. Ted Hyphenated Lewis, at the
B Garden.
Lewis has had plenty Of work re-
Gently. and Willie realized that he
should loosen up a trifie before engag-
/ ing in a contest with man OF ms
calibre. Willie said ne won easily, and
would have been willing to pay for the
exercise had not the promoters urged
him 10 take a little Christmas money
in return for his performance.
Just why Willie fights so little is
hard TO understand. He is good

Dispatches from Tommy Walsh's ia

Reported That Company Will Put
in Special Machinery at

That the pennsylvania Steel Com
pany is making preparations to install
machinery suitable for the manufac-
ture of shrapnel shells at the Steel
ton plant, is reported in well-inform-
ed circles to-day.
With the exception of few special
is well equipped for the manufacture
is well equipped TO rthe manufacture
of such material. Some of the best
steel manufactured in this country is
turned out here, and it is known that
the plant is now busy on large order
of projectile steel.
High officials of the company at
Steelton this morning, however, de-
clared that they did not know any
thing of the plan. If such an under
taking were being considered. they ex-
planned. the news would come from
Philadelphia.
With the entire battery of eight
open hearth furnaces in full blast
and the new rolling mills at the west
end of the plant in operation, indica-
tons point to a rapid increase in busi-
ness at Steelton. Within a short time
the capacity of the big plant will be
further increased by the blowing in
of No. and the new No. blast fur
naces.

.PENBROOK PAVING
At 4 STANDST|LL
Legal ENHANCEMENT May Hold Up
Improvements in
Suburb

AS the result of several legal tangles
brought before the Penbrook council
at the regular meeting last night by
I. K. Swartz, borough solicitor, plans
for the paving of Main street from
end to end with State aid are at a
standstill.
The borough solicitor unearthed an
old law. which, he claims, forbids the
levying of an assessment on abutting
property owners after road has once
been improved. He contends that the
highway was improved seventeen years
ago at the expense of the borough and
therefore abutting property owners are
not liable for the cost of the contem-
plated improvement.
The last Legislature passed law
providing one-third the cost of the
paving can be assessed against the
property holders regardless of former
improvements A copy of this law was
read by Borough Clerk Specie, but he
had no sooner finished than the bor-
ough solicitor jumped up and said that
the law had been pronounced uncon-
stitutional.
A special meeting of council will
be held as soon as additional in
formation on these two laws is pro-
cured.
Petitions are now being circulated
among the abutting property owners
and, while all have not been reached.
from present indications it is believed
that all but six will sign.

The silence of several weeks on the

that the crest of the ridge on the

troops, thus improving the British
position.
The situation at Warsaw shows no

circling movement continues. A Rus
Sanguinary fighting is still going on ON
the banks of the Narew, south of
Ostrolenka and that there have been
equally heavy engagements between
the Tistula and the Bug. Russian
troops before Ivangorod, southeast of
Warsaw, have withdrawn to more
concentrated positions" while on both
banks of the EieprZ they nave repuIsed
the enemy.
On the other hand an Austrian Off

merous supplies.
The relative inactivity on the west
ern front appears to have undergone
a sudden change. 4 dispatch from
Amsterdam reports heavy fighting on

jay s. Rupert, 22 North Fifteenth

two passengers, a man and a woman,
had narrow escape last night when
the bus hit q light standard at Front
and Division streets and plunged down
the embankment, a distance of fifteen
feet.
The light standard was broken off
and fell into Front street with a crash.
The passengers in the car, who were
ell route to Harrisburg from Rock
Vile. were badly frightened, but no
one was hurt. The steering gear of the
car was broken. Rupert and his pas
sengers came to the city by street car.
The car was brought to the shop this
afternoon.
Rupert says a bright light from
another car going north blinded him
and prevented his seeing the standard
when he tried to turn out of the way
of the other automobile.
When asked who his passengers
were he remarked: I'VE jitney drivers
don't have to give the names of our
passengers"
Rupert admits 1t was a lucky es-
cape and added: Unless they fix that
part of the road. there will be more
accidents of the same kind"

The suffragists of this State have

means a time for extra hard work for
the cause instead of pleasant times in

are making speaking tours or helping

Another is making cottage cheese for

woman sold the peas and strawberries
from her garden and turned the money
into the campaign fund.

MONEY IS FOUND FOR
EARLY COMPLETION
Of IMPROVEMENTS
Long Controversy Comes to End
When Councilman Lynch In
troduces Ordinance
NO REASON FOR DELAY
Taylor and Bowman Dig Up Bal
ances; Gorgas Makes
Statement

The long controversy over the COM
pletion of the River Front improvement
is at an end. The gap in the wall at
Market street will be finished within
a few weeks. This decision was
reached at a meeting of city council
this afternoon. The money necessary
for the work was found through the
efforts of Councilmen Taylor, Lynch
and Bowman.
When it had been clearly demon
strated that there is in the various
balances ample money with which 70
complete the work Mr.. Gorgas said
the only thing remaining was to get
up an ordinance covering the various
amounts and appropriating them to
the River Front project. Mr.. Lynch
responded by producing an ordinance
already draughted and when this was
corrected to make il agree with the
statement of the superintendent of
finance it was read for the first time
and will come up for final passage a
week hence.
Mr.. Taylor at to-day's meeting
brought out that there is on hand a
balance in the outstanding interest
fund of s2o,SS5.Ss. at least $4,000 of
which is available for use in COM
pleting the public Improvements held
up by the refusal OF Councilman
Gorgas to countersign warrants.
In this fund are $4,000 worth OF
city bonds, purchased out of surplus
funds. and these could be easily trans
ferred to the surplus water depart
ment fund by having Commissioner
Bowman purchase them out of the
money over and above the sum needed
by the water department. Indeed Mr..
Bowman is on record in his annual re-
port as urging Commissioner Gorgas
to invest the water surplus in perman-
ent securities that would yield the city
more than the two per cent. paid for
deposits. II is merely a matter OF
transferring the bonds from one de-
bartment to another.
Mr.. Gorgas' annual report shows
that after settling with the county for
the keep of prisoners there remains
in the fines and forfeitures fund a sur
plus of s1,0T1.26 and in the dog
license fund there is S44S.4S, while
there remains in the milk and meat
license fund S1.216.TS.
Superintendent Gorgas, according to
his report has reserved S6,941.20 for
State tax on city bonds, but according
to a recent decision not more than
half of this will be required. Some
time ago Mr.. Gorgas himself raised
the point that the city need not pay
State tax on municipal bonds held by
banks, trust companies etc, and in
this Auditor General Powell agreed,
