PLANS TO BEAT BORERS
Park Commissioner Will Have Bands
Put on City's Trees.

With twelve hundred feet of cotton
batting and paper and gallons of
Syrup the Topeka park force will
start out tomorrow morning to fool the
borer family.
About the first warm day in the
spring Mr.. and Mrs. Borcr. who have
been living at the base of some elm
or maple tree through the winter,
talk the matter over and decide it is
time to move to the summer home in
their tree and begin raising a family.
Mr. Borer looks Mrs. Borer over and
discovers that she has no wings After
a family consultation it is decided
that Mr. Borer is to use wings and fly
up but that Mrs. Borer will have to
pursue a slower method of locomotion
and climb up the bark.
Before the Borer family reach that
stage in their plans for me summer
the city park men plan to be on the
Job. They plan to provide a nice lit
tie trap for MIS-. Borer which will not
only impede her progress but make a
prisoner Of her and eventually starve
her to death. That is the idea in plac-
ing the bands around the trees to pre-
vent Mrs. Borer from climbing to the
upper reaches and beginning to raise
her family. The fact that Mr.. Borer
is successful in reaching the branches
of the tree makes no difference He is
the least deadly of the species. In
fact he is harmless.
The park men will place bands
around the trees in Central, Chesney,
City, Garfield, and all tie other parks
in the city but will not bother Gage
park. Gage IS far enough from the
city that birds are plentiful--the kind
Of birds that makes short work of Dor
ers and other pests. Commissioner w.
i. Porter tooay purchased twenty
five rolls of the cotton and paper
used in banding the trees and each roll
contains fifty feet The SYRUP used

GRIP AND NEURASTHENIA

There is form of neurasthenia that
follows the grip. Doctors call it 'post-
grippaP' neurasthenia. One of the
foremost medical authorities OF New
York city in lecture in the interna-
tional clinics, said:
Broadly speaking, every victim of
the grip will suffer from post-grippal
neurasthenia also. Lowering OF ner-
vous tone with increased irritability is
the most striking effect of the disease,
languor of mind and body, disturbed,
itful sleep and vague pains in the head
and elsewhere. The treatment calls
for rest and tonic.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills, a non-alco-
holic tonic, are particularly suited for
building up the blood and strengthen
ing the nerves after an attack OF the
grip. The rich, red blood expels the
lingering germs from the system and
transforms respondent grip victims in
to cheerful, healthy, happy men and
women.
If you have had the grip get box
of DR.. Williams Pink Pills now from
the nearest drug store and begin the
treatment at once.
On request we will send you free
pamphlet, Building Up the Blood"
which contains a chapter on the grip.

RAILROADERS EXPLAIN THEIR
SIDE OF SATURDAYS FRACAs

Following their hearing Saturday
afternoon at police headquarters f.
V. Kelley and Thomas Coen, Sunbury,
two of the three men arrested at
Fourth and Market streets on charges
of yelling epithets at passing trolley
crews, explained their side or the case
through the Telegraph:
"Mr. Coen, Morgan Bostin and my
self" explained Mr.. Kelley, are en-
ployed by the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company's pipe fitting crew and we
were waiting between trans. We had
eaten some breakfast at a Market
street lunchroom and after breakfast
we were sitting on the steps of Marks
Store until train time. Tnen the de-
putty who eventually arrested us, came
up and told us to move on. We did
so but I suppose we didn't move fast
enough. Anyway he arrested us, and
took us to police headquarters.
That's all we've got to say. We
only want to get what we consider
are the facts in the case, correctly be-
fore the public. We might be reprt-
manded by the company for interfer-
ing in this trouble and possibly
jeopardize our jobs. We don't want
this to happen because we feel we
were positively not to blame"

fered a reward of $1,000 for the arrest
of the person and who is taking an
active part in the search, scores of
citizens have volunteered their services
for personal aid.
A mass meeting to express an
opinion of the bomb outrage" was
called to-day for next Wednesday.
Several clues are being followed with
great activity. A reward of 81 900 has
been offered by the brother of one of
the victims.
May Have Used Clock Device
Experts retained by the police have
arrived at the conclusion, it is said,
that the bomb had, as its principal
ingredient nitrotuluol.
This substance, they say was COM
pressed into a length of cast steel pipe
which, judging from the fragments
picked UP in the area of destruction,
must have been from a foot to fifteen
inches long and from six to eight
inches in diameter. Such a bomb, it Is
stated, could have been fired by time
arrangement affixed to an ordinary
alarm clock.

was arrested Saturday when he made

meet and adjust this situation without
a strike this condition that is now here
in Harrisburg would never have occur
red. But their position was we have
nothing to arbitrate with you men,
Claim Right to Organize
I'VE feel that we have the right and
just right to organize according to
the laws OF this country; this we have
done for the purpose of bettering our
conditions.
"At our meeting held on Sunday af-
ternoon it was reported that some of
the little officials o fthe company were
going around to the mems homes and
telling them that the men were going
to return to work on Monday or Tues
day morning. Our members are on to
the trick of this company and will not
pay any attention o'such lies as that,
they have a committee elected to
do their business for them, and when
the Division tells the men to return to
work they will and not before that
time.
1T appears to us that the business
people of this city could use sufficient
influence to bring about a settlement,
we would advise that the Merchants
appoint a committee to wait upon both
parties and then they will soon find
where this whole trouble lies. We
deny the published report that both
sides are inconsiderate this is true of
one side but not ours.
For the company to say it will
deal with the its employees on next
Wednesday afternoon is preposterous.
Such a meeting would simply be a
waste of time because any committee
that would meet President Musser
would be a committee representing
the union strikers and them alone.
Also we feel that we have
as much right to have man on our
committee to represent us as Mr.. Mus
ser has to have an attorney sit by his
side and advise him on all mat
ters. But we have been denied this
right Is this fair to us?
Complaint Against Strike Breakers
Strike breakers are permitted to
run over railroad crossing without the
conductor tagging the motormen, had
we done such things we would have
at once been taken off and discharged,
also the strike breakers are permitted
to sit on their stools coming around
Fourth and Market street; we were
not even allowed the use of stools.
They are permitted to sit inside the
cars and smoke, while we would have
been discharged at once for such an
offense. How much consideration did
we get, and how much are you getting
from this company?
There have been complaints about
the jitney service being inadequate.
So has the street car service for years
past, why did not some of the news
papers complain about that? The
people were packed into street cars
like sardines in a box. We also under
stand that there is being great pres
sure used to get the jitneys taken off
the streets. We do not believe there
true for we do not believe that there
is any city or State official who would
compel the public to ride upon cars
that are being operated by strike
breakers; men who are brought into
the city for the purpose of defeating
men who have been working upon the
street cars here for great number of
years, men who are honest and good
citizens of our city. We ask the pub
lie to be our friends"
