DRASTIC STEPS
ARE NECESSARY
FOR PROTECTION
Rowdyism and Contempt For
Park Regulations Cause
of Damage

Maintaining order in the parks
and parkways of the city is going to
be a serious proposition unless more
drastic steps are taken to prevent
the rowdyism and contempt for city
regulations which have resulted from
a too leniant attitude on the part of
those who have to do with the en-
forcement of law. Park Policemen
and officers of the regular force
complain that there is no use max
ing arrests when offenders are al
lowed to go with a reprimand
I'VE feel" said one of the patrol
men, that there is no backing up
of the officers in the performance
of their duties and that there is too
much recognition of certain class of
offenders at the expense of good
order and respect for law"
But worse than all else was the
outcome of a case in the quarter ses-
slons last week. Last September H.
A. Sears, a Civil War veteran and one
of the park policemen was assaulted
by Samuel Morgan in the Cameron
Parkway. According to the testi-
mony in court the officer found Nor
gan on a park bench drunk and
warning him of indecent exposure,
told him to move on. Morgan is al
legged to have cursed the officer and
followed this by kicking him. break
ing several ribs and injuring him in
ternally so that he is still more or
less incapacitated. While running
away after the assault Sears shot at
the defendant and wounded him in
the leg.
Man Is Acquitted
Subsequently on a warrant issued
at the request of the Department of
Parks Morgan was arrested in an
other town and brought back to Har-
risburg for trial. The case came be-
fore the jury last week and notwith-
standing the circumstances in the
testimony Morgan was acquitted and
the costs were divided between the
defendant and the Department of
Parks.
says Sears was one of the most ac-
tice men physically in the depart
ment and was known as an officer
who would perform his duty under
all circumstances. He stated to-day
that the outcome of the Sears case
would undoubtedly give other park
policemen more trouble, but that
now more than ever before the De-
partment would use every effort to
overcome a growing tendency to dis
order throughout the park system.
You can see just what such a
miscarriage of justice means" said
MIR. Forrer this morning. Every
loafer who gives us trouble in the
maintenance of order will feel en-
couraged to disregard the necessary
regulations. but we are going to
break up this thing without regard
to the escape of Morgan from ade-
quate punishment"
Inasmuch as the parks are the
Fairgrounds of the people and the
resorts of women and children, the
public is indignant over the failure
of the jury in the Morgan case.
Mayor Miller's attention will be call
ed to the conditions and his Cooper
alton will be asked in a real endea-
vor to maintain the best possible or
der in the parks and parkways.

President and Federal Trade
Commission to Decide on
Right Figure
BY associated Press

Washington, June 1S.-Secretary
Daniels has ordered coal and oil pro-
ducers to supply the enormous guam
titles needed by the navy at prices
to be fixed later by the President
when the Federal Trade Commission
has determined fair rate. The navy
will use 1,75O,OOO tons of coal and
5O,OOO,oOO barrels of oil purchased
under this application of the author
ity granted by Congress.
Similarly. steel for the entire navy
building program is being bought at
a rate fixed when Secretary Daniels
rejected the proposals of the steel
makers as too high.
Price Increased
Secretary Daniels said to-day that
the coal operators proposed to fur
nish navy coal at a rate OF S2.95 Il
ton at the mine. The navy has been
paying S2.SS a ton delivered. The
secretary directed the companies TO
ship Immediately, the orders being
prorated among the producers,
agreeing to pay a tentative price of
S2.S3 at the mines pending a report
from the Federal Trade Commission.
If the commission determines a high
er rate is justified because of in
creased cost of production, the de-
partment will equalize payments at
the rate fixed. If S2.33 is too high,
however, payments on future ship
ments will be curtailed to bring the
entire purchase at the commissions S
rate. The S2.33 rate is being ad-
Vanced by the government ''on ac-
count" at present.
Oil Jumps in Value
Oil quotations submitted, Mr.. Dan
iels said, ranged from S1.5S to S1.S6
a barrel, delivered at Port Arthur,
although the present rate is SO cents
barrel at that point. The depart
ment directed the producers to fill
its orders for 100000 barrels,
leaving the question of price to be
determined by the Trade Commits
sion.
The arrangement regarding steel
orders, the secretary said, leaves a
handsome profit" for the producers.
