WORLD SERIES
BASEBALL HERE,
Plank and Tesreau to Battle
For Bethlehem Steel League
Flag at Cottage Hill

Talk about world series baseball!
What would you call the brand which
is to be displayed at Cottage Hill on
Saturday when Steelton and Bethle-
hem meet to battle for the Bethlehem
Steel League pennanr. Eddie Plank
opposed to jeff Tesreau should offer
as fine an exhibition of the national
pastime as any two fingers now in
captivity can put up, not barring the
big league stars. Posed in the Cot
tage Hill arena both of these men,
who have had post-season experience,
will pitch their very cleverest to win
for the rivalry in Schwab's League is
keen, and all eyes are set on these
clubs, now handcuffed in average. 1t
will be the highest class of baseball
to be seen anywhere, for nearly. the
whole roster of experts is made up
of graduates of major company.
Preparations were begun to-day by
the athletic committee for a mon
ster crowd. which will be entertained
prior to hostilitfes by the Steelton
band Owing to the trem endous in
terest in this decision victory will
not depend on one game, but after
Saturdays contest the next one comes
off at Bethlehem on September IL. So
closely are the teams matched that
most likely a third game will be
needed. and that will probably go to
Reading.

Judge BonniweN Says
Liquor Interests Are Not
Financing His Campaign
By Associated Press

Milford, Pa, Sept. 5. - Judge
Eugene C. Bonniwell, Democratic
candidate for Governor, to-day en-
tered a general denial of all the
charges contained in an attack made
upon him yesterday by A. Mitchell
Palmer, Democratic national chair
man, at the platform meeting of the
state committee.
Judge Bonniwell is spending a
brief vacation in this vicinity. After
learning of the charges by Mr.. Pal
mer that his nomination had come
from the office of Senator Penrose
and that John Sinnott. head of the
Wholesale Liquor Dealers Associa-
ton, is financing his campaign, Judge
Bonniwell said:
"I do not wish to make a formal
statement in reply to this attack at
the moment. 1 wish to digest the
statement and the objects behind it.
The statement that my campaign is
being financed by Mr.. Sinnott and
the liquor interests is unqualifiedly
false. The other statements are un-
true and 1 will take them up care
fully little later"

Aged Chaplain Gives Up
Post at County Home;
Served Nearly 20 Years

Chaplain at the Dauphin county
almshouse for almost twenty years,
the Rev. o. ]. Farling, of the
Church of God denomination, be-
cause of his advanced age. has ten
dered his resignation to the county
directors of the poor, effective Oc-
tober 27. 1918.
During the entire time he was
cha aplain the Rev. Mr.. Farling held
services every two weeks for the
scores of inmates there. No service
the minister could give was too
much trouble for him and many
times he visited the institution at
all hours of the night to pray at the
bedside of a dying inmate. He also
officiated at times at funerals when
there were no friends or relatives to
make the arrangements. He re-
ceived no fee kor his services at any
time other than the small sum set
aside by the poor board.
The Rev. Mr.. Farling began his
duties November 20. 1898. and has
been chaplain at the institution ever
since that date. He served under five
stewards. In his letter to the direc-
tors he commends them for their
work in the interests of the poor.
and also highly praises John w.
Early, the present steward, for his
kind treatment of the Slnfortunates
who are now being cared for there.

ASSESSORS ARE
DIRECTED TO FIX
JUST VALUATIONS
Commissioners See Increase
in County Revenues and
Lower Tax Rate

Real estate assessors in county dis
tricts were advised to-day at the
County Commissioners office to put
equitable valuations on all properties
in their respective localities in MAX
ing the triennial assessment. A num-
Der of the assessors also have charge
of registry of voter and called at
the Office to make returns. They
were furnished necessary blanks and
other supplies to make the assess
ment.
County officials. in speaking to the
assessors declared they are deter
mined to have the valuations. of all
properties in the county fixed on an
equitable basis. Returns with some
properties only assessed at one-half
the market value VIII not be ac-
cepted.
THE assessors are not asked to
make exhorbitant advances in prop
erty valuations" one of the officials
said. What is wanted is a fair esti-
mate of what a property would sell
for at forced sale. The result will
be an enormous increase in the total
valuation of county property; the
benefit of this move will be reduc-
ton in the county tax rate. Some
of the assessors are in doubt about
the results in the localities in so far
as school tax and other rates are to
be levied. Officials in charge of the
financial affairs in those districts will
readily see that with a fair and equi-
table assessment of all properties IT
will not be necessary to maintain
such high tax rates for school pur-
poses and other improvements"
In the city rapid progress is being
made in the completion of valuations
for the triennial assessment accord
ing to Assessor James c. Thompson
With his assistants. Mr.. Thompson
began work in the Third ward to-
day. The Fourth and Fourteenth
wards are the only two which are to
be visited.

CITY LAWMAKERS
WAIT ON HEALTH
BOARD IN HOUSING
Believe Health Officials Have
Power to Cope With
Situation

While no official action was taken.
City Commissioners at d conference
in Council Chamber last night
agreed that instead of passing an or
dinance providing a number of hous-
ing regulations the City Health
Bureau should include all necessary
restrictions in rules of the depart
ment and then present them to
Council for approval.
According to the Commissioners,
with a few exceptions, present rules
of the bureau give the health Off
cials broad powers in coping with
the housing troubles in Harrisburg,
and by adding a few regulations no
ordinance will be necessary as it is
possible for fines to be imposed for
their violation the same as for the
violation of any city law passed by
Council.
City Solicitor John E. Fox. Assist
ant E. Bruce Tayor and Health
officer j. NJ. ]. Raunick, attended
the meeting. During the course of
the discussion on the housing needs
of the city and necessary restrictions
the state housing law was read. One
of the Commissioners said that in
case drastic action was needed the
State Bureau of Housing had full
power to act.
After disposing of the housing
problem the Commissioners dis
scussed plans to provide an adequate
water supply for the Fourteenth
ward. Commissioner S. F. Hassler
said he hoped to have arrange
ments completed so that city water
could be furnished to the recently
added district before the close of the
year. A proposition has been sub
mitted for the purchase of the water
pipe of the Dauphin Consolidated
Water Company, but city officials
said they are planning to make a
different proposal to the company,
the nature of which they did not
disclose. officials this afternoon in
spected the Fourteenth ward system
and tested some of the pipes and
connections

Der IL is also the day on which many

Receptaclcs For Gifts
So that morning, each of the 49,

register is urged by Mercer B.

bundle of rubber with him and
place it in a receptacle placed out
side the registration houses.

Urge School Children to Help
But the registering men are not
the only ones who have a special
task laid out for them. Every school
child in the city is urged to gather
old rubber, ready for the drive next
week. The kiddos' big day will be
Saturday, September IA, and thou
sands of them will cast their rub
ber bundles on the triangle on the

"I wish the men who will register
September IL, would pay particular
attention to this request we're max
ing" said Mercer Tate to-day. Many
of them won't be called into the
army. But they can help the ones
who are going to fight by carrying
rubber with them when they go to

easy thing to do and 1t costs them
nothing at all, while it will do the

Registration in the various dis
tricts during the early part of the
day varied but in the majority of
cases the officials reported that only
a few voters signed up. They expect
ed larger numbers to register late

evening. In only few districts scat

the section is larger in proportion to
the voters in other localities.
Early in the day when the polling
places were first opened a number

statesman and former Cabinet officer.
and Joseph Gardner Bradley. of Clay,
West Virginia, a grandson, are
named as executors in the last will
which was probated to-day.
AS a trust fund was created few
years ago under which provision for
the distribution of a large part of
the estate to near relatives is made.
No estimate of the value of the en-
tire estate was given. In the will of
the ex-senator he mentions this
trust frequently in disposing of his
personal property and in announcing
that no further provision is neces-
sary for a number of relatives. There
are no public bequests made in the
will, much of which is devoted to
disposition of such property as the
furniture and silverware at the
homes in Donegal, Lochiel and this
city.
