Taylor Thinks Mccormick
Asks Too Much For Land

City Commissioner NJ. Harvey Tay-
lor, superintendent of parks and pub
lie property this afternoon in Council
pointedly questioned the feasibility of
the city purchasing the Mccormick es-
tate site in South Harrisburg for an
asphalt repair plant at the price,
$3.50, authorized by the Lynch or
dinance.
Mr.. Taylor pointed out that the land
Is not, in his opinion, worth as much
as the ordinance provides. Further
more he questioned the reason for the
increase in price of the second offer
over what he said he understood was
the first figure.
Originally, said Mr.. Taylor, the fig
ure offered was $500. Before the
deal could be closed. however, he said
he understood that an agent had rails
ed the price to $3.50, and he did
not therefore, think the city should
pay for the agents commission.
Joseph Demma, $40 South Second
street, was appointed to succeed Will
helm j. Mehring, Jr., as police chauf-
feur by vote Of to 2, Mayor Royal
and Mr.. Gorgas voting against his
confirmation. Mayor Royal nominated

Taylor to Net $3.50 For
City For Temporary
Rental of Warehouse

Contractors who may want to build
temporary storage houses or sheds in
the River Front Park or on the island
during the construction of the new
Cumberland Valley bridge will have to
pay an annual rental of $3.50 to tho
city, restore the ground to it's orr
ginal condition after it has been used,
and file 5000 bond to protect the city,
according to an arrangement made to-
day by City Commissioner NJ. Harvey
Taylor, superintendent of parks and
public property.
Several contractors have already
written to Mr.. Taylor asking for tenn
porary space for a distance of 100 feet
north and south of the bridge in the
River Park and a distance of sixty
feet north and south on the island. Be-
cause of the fact that the bridge job
will mean work for hundreds of locel
men, Mr.. Taylor said he believes the
city should do all it can to accommo-
date the bridge contractors if the city
is properly protected.
The proposed warehouse locations
and sheds will not interfere with the
running track nor the lighthouses on
the island and "A watchman will be
maintained to safeguard the children
and the city property.

MERR|MAC SURVIVOR
IS FAST DECLINING
Aged Sailor, However, Observes
Anniversary by Telling of the
Famous Fight

| John Mcclellan, the 91-year-old sur
'vivor of the famous Confederate ram,
the Merrimac, is celebrating the SD
anniversary of the battle with the
Monitor very quietly to-day at the
County Almshouse, where he has been
an inmate since 1904. The battle oc-
Cured March 9. 1852.
John is getting feeble and short of
memory, and cannot recall many de-
tails of the fight in which he served as
a sailor in the crew of about 90 men.
He says there is one other of the
crew alive somewhere in Virginia
from whom he had letters until few
years ago. but other persons say Nc
Clellan is the sole survivor. John also
says he is 81 years old, but the files
of the poorhouse steward give his age
as 80 when he entered the institution
eleven years ago.
McCleland was born in Ireland and
served in an English regiment through
the Crimean War in 1854, being en-
gagged in many of the important en-
gagements. After the war he came to
America and joined an uncle in New
Orleans who was captain on a Missis-
sippi river steamboat. He worked as
la rousta bout on the river steamers and
as sailor on the Gulf of Mexico until
the outbreak of the Civil War.
He first enlisted with the Louisiana
Tigers and remained with them until
the launching of the Merrimac, on
which he remained until she was
beached and burned by tie crew after
the fight with the Monitor. After this,
Mcclellan reioined the Tigers and
served until the surrender of Lee.

priating 100000 for the erection of a

memorate the founding of the COM
mon school system of PENNSYLVANIA
This bill has failed in previous ses-
sions.
Senator Clark, Erie, introduced in
the Senate to-day a bill repeating the

Asked why he wanted the law re-
pealed. Senator Clark said:
Because it is a bad law bad in its
operation"

bill appropriatlng 100000 to carry
into effect the act of July 25, 1913
for the acquisition of toll bridges be-
tween Pennsylvania and New Jersey;

Suffrage Amendment
Comes Up in Senate
Next Monday Evening

The woman's suffrage amendment
passed second reading in the Senate
to-day. but not before Senator Crow,
of Fayette, unconsciously gave the suf-
fragists a scare. When the amend
ment was reached, Mr.. Crow moved
that it be placed on the postponed cal
endar. Senator Ware, Philadelphia,
was instantly on his feet inquiring the
object of the motion. Senator Crow
replied that he made the motion with
the purpose of amending the resoiu-
ton.
BY this time another senator had
reached Mr.. Crows side and after
whispering to him, Mr.. Crow arose and
said:
'I beg the Senate's pardon. I was
on the wrong BILL
The Senate laughed, the suffragists
breathed a deep sigh of relief, and the
antis, who had sat up to see what was
coming, settled back again in their
seats.
Owing to the expected absence of
several senators tomorrow when the
resolution was to have come up for
final action. the amendment will be
laid over until Monday night Advo-
Gates of woman suffrage predict that
the resolution will be passed finally
with votes to spare.

restriction along with a number of
others relative to food regulations, all

dent of public safety. The other
measures follow:
Prohibiting the exchange of bread

posing of the old product as fresh

to guard against.

ATTORNEY GENERAL
ON CONVENTION
Expressed Only Personal Views;
No Political Significance
Attached

Attorney General Francis Skunk
Brown to-day amplified his statement
of yesterday In which he gave his per-
sonal views as a lawyer of wide expert
ence in favor of q constitutional con-
vention. The Attorney General said
yesterday that he was presenting his
individual opinion and to-day rein
forced 1t by saying the State needed a
new constitution.
Mr.. Browns statement was as fol-
lows:
when suggested yesterday that
thought the time was ripe for a con-
vention I expressed my individual view
as a citizen and lawyer, and did not
assume to express the views of the
Governor. What little talk l have
had with him thereabout has been
casual and to declare the great and
in some cases insurmountable difficult
ty, because of the limitations of the
Constitution, of drafting laws which
the people need and are entitled to
have.
I'm the march of the States toward
the fulfilment of the hopes of our
fathers, who in their days were not
afraid to act, that there should ever
abide here a government of the peo-
pie, by the people and for the people,
we are woefully in the rear. We do
have a government of the people, but
we certainly do not and cannot in
this State, under the present Constitu-
ton, have one by and for them.
1T is a pity that a mere expression
of opinion of that which one thinks
would be helpful to our people should
be attributed to some political or 9TH
er Interior improper motive. l would
have a poor opinion indeed, OF the
citizenship of Pennsylvania if / be-
lieved that they were not capable OF
governing themselves. Other States
have adopted new Constitutions TO
meet their present day needs, and
their people are thriving and happy
in their possession, and all self-re-
specting Pennsylvanians should, at
least, cherish the confidence that the
Keystone State is at least of equal
strength with the other stones OF the
arch. In the family of Common
wealths which compose the nation, we
are considered eXemplars in many OF
the elements which go to make up an
ideal citizenship, but he is either blind
or Indifferent who does not know that
our Constitution is a garment we nave
long since outgrown, and has been
added to, and added to, piecemeal, and
If not a thing of shreads, made so by
the construction of the courts to ad-
Just it to our vital needs, it is at least
a thing of patches.
"I hope no one will be so unfair
as to attribute to me even the thought
of suggesting that which l did not
believe to be best for all. I have not
critically read the bill of Representa-
tive Roney, have not talked with him
about il, have taken no interest in
any movement to secure a convention,
but will, If the Legislature deems it
wise to call one, do all in my power
to assist to the adoption of a Constitu-
tion, which | believe to be absolutely
necessary, if Pennsylvania is to main
tain the position in the nation to
which. with her location, natural re-
sources and citizenship, she Is entitl-
ed"

question had originally been offered to
the city for $4,000, and that the
amount specified in the ordinance in
cluded the agents commission, which,
in his opinion, the city should not "ay.
Two ordinances passed finally. One
provided for an appropriation of $35
from the sewer tappage fund to pay
John f. Dare for overcharge. The
other ordinance provides for the lay
ing of a water pipe in Agate street
from Schuylkill to Columbia street.
The ordinance appropriating $4,000
for repairs to the Friendship steam
fire engine went over. Mr.. Taylor
stated that after an examination now
being made this amount might be re-
duced.
The contract awarded to Jacob
Weiner to furnish 5000 tons of river
coal to the city at 6S cents a ton was
approved.
The City Planning Commission sent
an approval to Council of the ordi-
nance providing for a municipal as
phalt plant. A petition from the Dau-
phin County Medical Society recon-
mended the erection of a modern mu-
nicipal hospital.
Two resolutions were presented, one
by Mr.. Gorgas providing for an ap-
preparation of .1S9 to pay for grad
critics. and the other, by Mr. Lynch,
for the appropriation of 81, 600 for the
purchase of a sprinkler and two street
sweepers.
An ordinance presented by Mr.. Bow
man provides for a siX-inch water pipe
in Carlisle street from Holly to Derry
street.
