VALLEY FORGE PARK
ALONG CAMP LINES
Will Resemble Spot When Wash
ington Was There If Bill Goes
Through

Valley Forge Park will take in all
of the original site of Washington's S
encampment il a bill which was intro
duced in the House to-day becomes n
law.
Samuel W. Pennypacker, when Gov
ernor induced the Legislature to pur-
chase several hundred acres. including
entertainments of the Continental
Army, and TO make State park of the
land, and on the commission he ap-
pointed DR.. Brumbaugh, who was then
superintendent of public schools in
Philadelphia.
Governor BrumbauCh takes an act
i've part on the commission, as does
alSo eN-GoVeruor PennypaCker. and it
is Governor Brumbaugh's desire TO see
the State acquire the whole original
camp site and make il a State park
during his administration.
The bill for the purpose of purchas-
ing more land and for the parks main
tenanCe was introduced by Samuel \.
Whitaker, from Chester county. 1t
contains provisions for the suitable
transfer of the 100000 arch now be-
ing built as a gift from the United
States government to the State of
pennsylvania. for the restoration of
the forts and redoubts as nearly as
possible to their original condition.
and for the erection of shelter houses
for visitors. planting of trees and other
improvements.
\ similar bill was introduced in the
last session ny the present Speaker of
the House, Charles y. Amber.

would have been waiting at the pier on
the far-away tip of Australia when
HIS ship came in.
Whether or not Harrisburg folks
will have an opportunity of seeing the
pretty heroine of that romance when
Sir Douglas appears at the Majestic,
February 9, as the guest of the Nat
ural History Society is doubtful: it is
quite likely that Lady Mawson will not
accompany her husband en- tour The
famous Australian explorer and scien-
tist will, by the way, be presented by
Governor Brumbaugh. The Governor
told a committee of the society which
waited upon him yesterday with the
request that he would be delighted at
the privilege.

clare policy and not surrender a
right.
Among the amendments up for con-
sderation by the caucus in an effort
to obtain the support of the Progress
sive Republicans without recommit-
ting the bill were those to eliminate
cabinet members from the proposed
shipping board and to give the board
absolute control over rates for trans
portation of cargoes by government
vessels. 1t was feared, however that
to win this support would require too
many important concessions. 1t was
said that while President Wilson
would not favor vital amendments he
would not object to minor changes to
meet the objections of opponents of
the measure.
Only Course Left
The only course that will save the
bill is the adoption of several amend
ments that are favored by Republican
Progressives, especially one safe
guarding the United States against
foreign complications through pur-
chase of the German and Austrian
vessels laid up in United States ports
The failure of the Administration
campaign for the passage of the ship
purchase bill was the hardest blow
President Wilson has yet received
from the Senate.
1t indicates the growing resentment
among many members of Congress
against executive domination AMI
what has been suspected
from the beginning, that a majority
of the Democrats in the Senate are
faint hearted in their support of this
measure.

cial election to choose a successor to
w. NJ. Brown, Congressman elect, who
died in New York Sunday. He was
elected to Congress from the Washing
ton -Beaver-Lawrence district last No
Nember, defeating DR.. Henry NJ. Tenn
pie, the incumbent, in the primary by
a majority not exceeding 900. Doctor
Temple, who ran on the Washington

Republican nomination for the va
cancy.
Doctor Temples name was placed
on the Republican ticket in the pri-
mary last May, although he made no
real fight for the nomination. He car
ried Warrington county on the Re-
publican ticket and came near winning
out as a Progressive against Brown
in the election.
Friends of Doctor Temple in the
Progressive party in Pennsylvania are
anxious to have him enter the Repub-

so. lie declined to say anything about

peals be taken by either side, it
would be legally permissible to
agree with the owners for them
to continue in the use OF said
properties until the final dctermi-
nation of the damages by a ver-
dict Of the jury in each case. In
this way the owners would havc-' :
the uninterrupted use OF ,h-ir
properties until the actual pay
ment of their compensation. and :
the city would save all interest
charges until that time.
Most Convenient For Owners
If an appeal should be taken to
a higher court, the agreement for
the owners to continue in possess
sion until final decision in lieu of
interest may be arranged. This
plan would cause the least incon-
venience to the owners and the
least expense to the city. On the
other hand, If the city desires to
remove the buildings at any time
before the final adjudication of
the damages, 1t can file its bond
and take possession Immediately
thereafter and interest at per
cent. would begin to run from the
date of the acceptance or approval
of the bond in each case.

Could Issue Bonds
Just now there are no funds avail
able by which the city could pay the
claims and it is probable that bonds
would have to be issued to cover the
expenditure. This, it is understood,
can be done without putting the ques-
ton up to the people by vote as the

to cover the contingency.
