Hundreds Attend Funeral
Services Of Mr.. Pennypacker;
Bishop Darlington in Charge

Philadelphia, Sept. 5. - Hundreds of
persons in all walks of life attended
the funeral services of former Governor
Samuel w. Pennypacker in historic
Old Christ Church here this afternoon.
Bishop Darlington, of Harrisburg, as
sisted by the Rev. DIR. Louis c. Wash
burn. rector of Old Christ Church, and
the Rev. DIR. Stockett, rector of ST.
James on the Perkiomen, where Mr..
Pennypacker attended. offic .ated. Gov
ernor Brumbaugh and former Governors
John X. Tener, Federal and city officials
and prominent representatives of So
cieties and other organizations with
which the dead Governor had been ac-
lively identified, acted as honorary pail
bearers. Following the services the
body was taken to Phoenixville, Pa, fol
burial.
According to an announcement made
yesterday, Mr.. Pennypacker wrote b
history of his life, from the days of his
youth up to the time he left the EXecu,
tain to have wide interest among por-
ticians and historians, because it deals
freely and frankly with State and ma
tional issues and, perhaps, touches up
on that epochal period of the Capitol
graft investigation.
This autobiography was completed
some months ago. 1t was Mr.. Penny
packers intention to supplement 1t
With chapters dealing with Statecraft
and the law, but death stayed his hama.
AS 1t stands it most likely will be a
cause of his active participation In pov
litical and historical affairs of Pennsyl-
yania. The autobiography will be pub
lished

JAP RELATIONS
ARE UNCHANGED
Assures L. S. That Alliance Is
Not Affected by Crisis
in the East
By Associated Press

Toxic, Sept 3. Japan has off,
cially assured the United States that
the alliance recently made by Russia
and Japan will not affect the status
quo in the Far East.
The Russo J56 6ahese convention was
signed at Petrograd July 8. The
japanese Foreign Office in reply to a
question from The Associated Press
after the treaty had been signed as to
what effect the alliance would hsse
upon the open door and the integrity
of China stated:
THE convention is effectual an
emphasis upon and an extension of
an Anglo Japanese alliance, baseo
upon the territorial integrity of
China, whose open door and integrity
are not in danger. American trade
and interests are in no wise affected"
The Foreign Office denied affirma-
tions in Japanese newspapers that
the convention contained secret
clauses.
On August Reuters Telegram
Company, Limited, announced in Lon
don that it had learned that after the
conclusion of the Russo-Japanese
convention a separate agreement was
reached under which Russia sold to
Japan the southern half of the Har-
bin -Changhun railway In Manchuria.
The additional agreement, it was said,
also recognized Japan's rights on the
Sungari river between Kirin and
Petuna, in Manchuria, thus settling a
question pending since the signing of
the Portsmouth treaty.

POSTAL CLERKS
HAVE GRIEVANCE
Government Far More Con-
siderate of Railroad Men
Than of Own Employees

A meeting of the New York and
Pittsburgh Association, an organiza-
tion of railway postal clerks who run
on the line of the p. r. r. between
New York and Pittsburgh is in ses-
sion this afternoon at their clubroom
in North Fourth street. These men
begin their tours of duty at Harris
burg, as well as finish them. on their
start-out they go to New York, run
ming straight through to Pittsburgh
on their second day, and from Pitts
burgh to Harrisburg on the third day
For period of thirty years, or since
the first Cleveland administration, the
men on this postal route have been
running thus, with a working period
of six days and a similar period off
duty for rest, study and in consider
alton of overtime and owing to the
strenuousness of the eXacting duties
required of the men while on duty.
Hardship 10 Men
Under the present administration
-his method of running has been
changed and at one period of the
month now they are required to run
R twelvs days out of fourteen, or four
of these days each man doing four
railroad divisions. while the p r. r.
company has one man to each divis-
ion or four men get paid for doing
what one postal clerk is required to
do. In other words on those days the
railroad man, allowing for the return
trip, averages only 220 miles, while
the postal clerk MAKES 440.
The Inter State Commerce Com
mission has made the maximum rail-
road day on passenger trains 155
miles, yet the postal men in the en-
ploy of the government are required
to make an average of 172 miles per
day for every day in the year, or 203
miles on every weekday. This is one
Of the matters with which this meet
ing had7to do. The government en-
ployes expect the government to be
as fair with them as it requires the
railroads to be with their employees
and insist that if 1856 miles is the
maximum for passenger traffic en-
ployes II should also be the maximum
for postal employees who run the same
| lines.
When the present method of run
nlng was instituted, about year and
half ago. the number of crews run
ming on this line was reduced from
six to five, with the result that it has
become burden. During this period
the extra saving to the department
has been from 100000 to $4,000, and
the extra work performed by each
man approximately worth $3.50. for
which they receive absolutely moth
ing. Charged up against this, some
of the employees say, is a record OF
at least four cases OF mental derange-
ment>and two or three nervous break
downs.
May Move Men
It is reported now that a prominent
onicial of the Post Office Department
has recommended that a change be
made in the runs, thus heading the
men out of New York and Pittsburgh,
instead of at Harrisburg, where SO
per cent reside and where the great
majority own their own homes n
this is done it will mean eventually
the loss of over two hundred families
and their purchasing power to this
city, and this matter is vital enough
to concern the attention of members
of the Chamber of Commerce, say the
clerks.

heavy loses on both sides. Last night
the Germans launched a number of
vigorous counter attacks but the
French War Office reports they were
beaten with heavy losses to the at
tackers. The battle is being carried

Unorganized Railroaders

Chicago. Sept. 5. - Employees of the

the four brotherhoods, are to make a
determined fight upon the Adamson
eight-hour law, according to Robert
T. Frazier, an employe of the Nash
Vile, Chattanooga and st. Louis Rail-
road here to-day He claimed to have
secured many signers to petition to
Congress protesting against the law.
Mr.. Frazier will leave for Pittsburgh
to-day and following a visit to Phila-

Congress. He claims the new law

100000 other railroad employees.

Diplomats Keep Careful

Out of Troop Clash

Washington, Sept. 5. - Close watch
is being maintained by diplomatic
officials here over the newly threaten
ed crisis between Japan and China
growing out of the recent clash of the
two nations troops at Cheng Chiatun.
Considerable fear is felt that the
rights of the United States in China
may be affected in view of confidential
reports that Japan has made other
demands than those published yester-
day in dispatches from Peking, and
that the secret negotiations threaten
Chinese rule throughout Inner Mon
golia.

Even superlatives are inadequate to
describe the beautiful panorama
spread before those who viewed it
from the Front Steps of the city in
the afternoon. The river never was
more attractive. The deep blues of
the distant mountains formed semi
circle about the scene, matching the
cloudless skies in hue and sharply con-
trasting with. the dark green's of low
lands and islands and the lighter
blues and greens of the water, rippled
and shining beneath the gentle buffet
ing of a cool Septem Der breeze. The
long line of gaily decorated floats
that formed one border of the racing
course from the Walnut street bridge
north, the silent progress of innumer-
able canoes, the chug-chugging of the
motorboats and the brilliant hues of
gowns and coats in the great grand
stand of the steps where thousands
gathered to view the scheduled events,
all combined to make a picture of
charming detail and magnificent pro-
portions. The evening pageant, with
its flood of illuminations, its electric
fountain, it's fireworks, its illuminated
boat parade and its countless canoes
fitting about like giant fireflies on the
surface of the stream, was even more
beautiful. In time this great spectacle
is bound to become one of the big
holiday attractions of PENNSYLVANIA
and few other cities anywhere can
boast of fete that in any sense ap-
proaches it.
Presidents Statement
In a statement to-day regarding the
Kipona and its relation to the Susque-
hanna river basin, the president of the
Greater Harrisburg Navy, E. j. Stack
pole said
Again the value of community
cooperation has been demon
strated in the first annual Kipona.
Enthusiasm, tireless energy. civic
pride, constructive effort and
above and beyond all else a fine
appreciation of the value of the
river basin as a practical and
esthetic asset of the city were the
outstanding factors in the success
of the big event.
This river carnival is going to
be for Harrisburg what the Mardi
Gras is for New Orleans, the
Yelled Prophets for st. Louis and
the Gasparilla for Tampa. 1t will

If the ghost of old Kishacoquillas,

must have been a most surprised

Should he have taken a seat midst
the shadows on the hill over by Fort
Washington and let his eyes rest on
the long curve of the Susquehanna

have been a feeling of awe that
gripped him.

term that the old shade could find to
describe his feelings as he watched
