No West Virginia Reorgani-

Satisfied.

(spec. Dispatch to West svirginian)
WASHINGTON, D. g., July 2s,-
1t is learned that Captain Francis
Phalls, of one of the military compan-
les at Fairmont, accompanied by sen.
ator Chiffon and Congressman Neely
had conference with Secretary Of
War Baker one day this week In ref.
erence to the reported intention Of
the West Virginia state authorities
to disband the First regiment Of the
National Guard OF that state.
1t has been learned that as result
OF that conference Secretary Baker
agreed to take no action concerning
the admission Of any West Virginia
troops into the Federal National
Guadd under the reorganization un.
I'll Senator Chiffon and Representatives
Neely, and probably officers OF the
First regiment have an pportunity to
be heard. -
Tho understanding Of the matter here
is that the officers Of the First regi-
ment, believing that they are to be
left out of the reorganization plans
In West Virginia, by the abolishment
OF their commands, are going to re-
sist such an attempt II It be made, to
the bitter end. They appear 70 have

SOUTH SIDE BRIDGE
REPAIRS UNDERWAY
Steel Was in Worse Condi.
tion Than 1t Was Ex-
pected to Be.

The condition of the old steel that
has been taken from the South Side
bridge shows that the structure was
in a more dangerous condition than
was originally supposed. Many Of the
old steel beams that supported the
sidewalk were found to be rusted en-.
tirely through and were only held In
place by the timbers that were nailed
TO their sides. When separated the
timbers these beams will not support
the weight Of a man without breaking
or bending.
Pine lumber is being used instead Of
oak In constructing the new sidewalks
that are being placed In the structure.
as 1t Is the opinion of the street com.
missioner that this hunger which is
saturated with pine pitch and resin
Will last probably as long as creosoted
wood.
The work Of replacing the sidewalks
probably will not be completed until
the last OF next week. Yesterday one
o fthe laborers employed on the work
slipped from the old steel beam on
which he WAS stapding and narrowly
missed the ninety foot fall to Coal
Run. BY pitching forward and catch
ing an adjoining beam he saved him
self. The work is somewhat retarded
b the enormous amount of splinters
the men get in their hands handling
the pine lumber. Two Of. the men did
not work this morning and stated that
they had remained at home to pick
out the splinters. The hot weather
causes their hands to become soft and
sweaty. thus being especially suscepti-
BILE Of picking up splinters.

URGE CITY TO ANNEX
WATER FRONT STRIP
Business Men Think Plan to
Take in Whole of Delaware
County Not Practical

A modification of Mayor Smiths pro-
poSal to annex Delaware County to Phila-
delphia is being urged by men prominent
in the Industrial and commercial life of
this city. The plan to annex the entire
county, 1t was shown last week, would not
meet the approval of its residents and for
this reason it is suggested by men who
have studied the question that instead Of
the entire county strip of land lying
directly along tho water front be taken
over by this city.
The Mayors reason for planning the
annexation, 1t is pointed out, was to de-
velop Phlladelphia's commercial advant-
ages through increasing the port facil-
tiles. To take over that part of Delaware
County lying along the Delaware River
business men say would serve the pur-
pose named by the Mayor almost as well
as the annexation of the entire county.
George w. Norris, former Director of
the Department of Wharves. Docks and
Ferries. expressed the belief that the resi-
dents of Delaware County would never
submit TO the annexation of the entire
county, The taking over OF the land di-
Tectly along the river however, Mr.. Norris
said, could be done with little opposition
and the cost would not be excessive as
the land now is largely marsh.
Andrew Wright Crawford, secretary Of
the Art Jury and City Parks Associa-
ton, was inclined to the view that annex
alton of the entire Delaware County was
irrelevant Il believe, however," he said,
"the boundaries OF Philadelphia should be
extended along the Delaware River TO in
clude Chester. or TO the northeastern
limits of that city, at least. How far they
should be carried into the interior of the
county is matter of expedieney."
The plan of annexing the entire county
instead OF part of il, however. met with
the approval of other Philadelphia busi-
ness men. Alba B. Johnson, president of
the Baldwin Locomotive Works. said that
he had discussed the project with the
Mayor some time before the plan was
made public and that personally he was
heartily In favor OF snch q move.
