SECOND TRY AT
SHIPPING BILL
Administration Makes Another
Attempt to Get Measure;
Congress Wants to Quit
By Associated PRESS

Washington, Aug. 8. - The second
attempt of the administration to
create a government shipping board
to undertake rehabilitation of the Am
erican Merchant Marine began in the
Senate to-day under conditions in
acterized the hotly fought losing
struggle in the last Congress.
With Democrats united on the
amended bill and no party revolt in
prospect such as accomplished defeat
of the bill before, interest in the issue
was apathetic. Senator Simmons no.
titled his colleagues that he had little
to say that had not been said before
and that he would not regard it as a
discourtesy if senators left the cham
Der to attend other business.
Want Early Adjournment
Informal conferences of Republi-
cans and Democrats early in the day
regarding the prospect of adjournment
of Congress disclosed that Republicans
ping bill and all other pending legis-
lation as rapidly as possible. Senator
Harding who will direct opposition to
the shipping bill for the minority said
he thought the bin should be dis
posed of in less than a week. Senator
Kern informed him that a sincere ef-
fort would be made to dispose of all
pending business so that Congress
might adjourn by September l. Sem
ator Harding explained that the Re-
publicanS hoped that adjournment
might be reached as early as August
26. The Republicans, he said, had
no set program of procedure in con-
nection with the shipping bill and in
his opinion there would be few long
opposition speeches. Leaders of both
sides lit was disclosed, have been
urged by campaign leaders to hasten
adjournment and demands are pour
ing into senators to get into the nat
ional political fight as soon as pos
sible. In urging the shipping bill
Senator Simmons outlined the great
need of the country for commercial
preparedness hand in hand with mill
tary preparedness.

Guardsmen in Better
Health Than Regulars
BY Associated Press

Washington, Aug. 8. - National
Guardsmen on the Mexican border are
in far better health than the average
youngster at home. War Department
officials believe on the basis Of the re-
ports. 1t was pointed out to-day that
never in the history OF extensive mill
tary mobilizations has there been any
such showing as that made for the
week ended August 8. when, accord
ing to the report of the army surgeons
to General Scott, chief of staff, the
sick rates of the militiamen was only
LA per thousand.
This was far better than that of the
regular troops where the sick rate was
2.45 per thousand. This fact is ex-
planned by the surgeons as due to the
long stay of the regulars in the South
ern climate.

of the slope where necessary until the
toe of the embankment is flush with
the eastern edge of the granolithic
walk. From the edge of the walk to a
point about nine feet above the face
of the slope is to be sustained and
strengthened by riprapping. Tons of
stone for this purpose will be brought
from the masses that are stored in the
meadows at the almshouse, stone that
had been cut from the new parkway
drive.
The funds for this improvement, it
is expected, will, of course, be taken
from the park improvement loan and
Commissioner z. z. Gross will confer
with City Solicitor Seitz within a day
or two relative to shaping up the nee
essary authority. The loan fund con-
tains sufficient balance to complete
this permanent improvement, as there
is not enough on hand to build the
proposed subway beneath the Phila-
delphia and Reading tracks east of the
Almshouse lane even If the railroad
company gives permission.
The States action this afternoon, of
course, removes the final legal obstacle
and Harrisburg is anxiously and ex-
pectantly looking forward to an early
start on the improvement.
The commission also passed favor
ably on the application to permit the
Central Iron and Steel Company to
straighten it's line of cinder embank.
ment south of Iron alley for distance
of 5000 feet along the river. The "fll'
that will be use1 will extend one to
twenty feet in places into the stream.
This will straighten out the irregulari-
ties and will preserve the uniformity
of line.

BIG BLOCK PARTY
DRAWING CROWDS
Borough's Prominent Citizens
Perform Antics to Raise
Money For Church

Selecting the name block party
for what is really a street carnival,
proved to be no misnomer on the part
of the committee in charge of the
greatest local street affair ever at
tempted for on the opening last eve
ming, one whole block, including both
sides of North Second street between
Conestoga and Jefferson streets, was
overfowing with people and hundreds
moro were compelled to find room in
the yard at the rear of st. James
Catholic Church, for whose benefit the
block party" was originated.
The show was opened with a superb
concert by the Steelton pand, after
which all the various units of the
carnival became busy centers, each
vieing with the other to outdo it in
taking in the coin.
Murphy Wins Honor
This honor was won by Ringmaster
Murphy, whose wit and sarcasm con-
stantly kept the big sixty-foot round
top ten filled with patrons, each
anxious to witness the marvellous show
and one ring circus. The performance
here opened with a grand entry led
by the circus band of eight pieces.
Solon Barr, a noted tenor soloist
and athlete of the borough followed
with a horizontal bar act which almost
took the breath from the audience

clowns, had it all over such funmakers
usually found in the large travelling
circus. The headline act at the close
of the circus performance consisted
of acrobatic stunts by Runkle broth
ers, aged and 8 years respectively
These youths were especial favorites
with the large audience and received
hearty applause.
The freak show, in charge of An

as the bearded lady" "veiled beauty, -

Cusack Good Performer
Matty Cusack, as interlocutor of the
Georgia Minstrels, another big attrac-
ton, revealed hitherto unknown his
trionic abilities and the dialogues be-
tween he, Mike Daylor and George
Martin, end men, kept the patrons OF
the minstrel show in continuous up
roar. The two latter excelled any
previous public efforts in their fun
making proclivities.
Several fine plantation songs were
sung by the chorus composed OF
Messrs. Noll, Ludes, Purcell, the end
men and the interlocutor under the
direction of DR.. Gallagher, a new
resident of the borough. The Minstrels
were ably assisted by string orchestra
under direction of Frank Wieger, Jr.
The circus and minstrel tents are
pitched on the church grounds, while
in Second street were placed booths
for the sale of candy jewelry, teddy
bears, doll and cane racks and peanut
stands. One Of the pleasant features
of the evening was the serving OF tea
at a Japanese teatable, placed in front
of the residence of Dennis Crowley
The block party will be continued
at least two more evenings, with some
new features each evening.
