Down Town Park Will Be

THE Park Department will pro-

could for this section for some time."
he continued. Last fall we set out a
large number of trees there and most
of these are fiourishing. But we can
not plant grass and shrubbery until
we can procure ground to bring the
park up to a proper. level and to COW
er the cinder and Stag which was
used to fill up the bank to its present
level. Grass simply will not grow on
large areas of this park and little can
be done until we procure some hun
dreds of cubic yards OF earth. We
thought we had the difficulty solved
when the Harris Park school en-
largement was considered, but now
that this has been called off, we are
again unable to lay our hands on the
necessary fill. AS soon as we can get
the earth this park will be put into
shape. The people are entitled to IL
and the department wants to get the
work DONE"

Irregularity of Ash
Collections Fault of
Residents of Borough

Failure of borough residents to

cause of the holdup in the ash col

of the town no collections have been
made for several weeks, the high
way department reports. Until resi-
dents comply with the ruling of
Council providing for the separation
of refuse and ashes. the collections
will not improve, the official said.
Chairman Henderson said to-day he
would report to Council in monthly
session tonight the condition and
urge that some immediate action be
taken. Posters will be printed and
distributed over the borough, the Of
fetal said.

ENEMY ALIENS
CASES GO OVER
Important Decision Rendered
by the State Compensation
Board Regarding Claims

Twenty-six claims for compensa-
ton made by residents of Austria
Hungary for deaths of persons upon
whom they have been dependent and
who were killed in Pennsylvania in
dustries have been reinstated by the
State Compensation Board in an
opinion filed by Chairman Harry a.
Mackey in acting upon petitions
filed by A. Mitchell Palmer. custo-
dian of alien property for the United
States government. This action will
establish a precedent and where 1t
is impossible to obtain proof to pros
ecute the cases because of the war
they will be continued until the end
of the strife. This principle will
govern probably hundreds of cases
and mean that thousands of dollars
will have to be set aside for adjudica-
ton of such claims in the days when
the war is ended and communtca-
ton between the countries is re-es-
tablished.
The decision orders that Mr..
Palmer be substituted as claimant,
as he is the representative of the
enemy countries in such matters,
and that the records be returned to
new hearings and notify Mr.. Palmer.
1t is suggested that where claim
petition has been properly executed
in behalf of claimants by persons
having consular authority and the
averments are sufficient to raise a
prima facie dependency the proof
of which is impossible TO produce
because of the existing state of war.
then such cases on the application OF
the custodian of alien property
should be indefinitely postponed" 1t
is ordered that each case be deter
mined upon its own facts and the
RESP onsibility for prosecuting them
is now upon the custodian of alien
property. 1t Is stated in conclusion
that claim petitions which do not
contain definite statements as to de-
pendency will not be pros ecuted by
the custodian.
Some of the claim petitions were
filed by the Austro- Hungarian att
thorities and others by the Swedish
consular officers acting for subjects
of the empire and when hearings
came II was impossible - produce
proof. which led to the claims being
dismissed.
The opinion cites federal deci-
sions, including steamship cases
which have arisen since the war he
gan and holds that nonresident
aliens have no right or power to
prosecute claims during the war.

Won Rintelen's Plea
Was Refused by Gerard;
Proud of Lansing Edici

New York. June 10. - Speaking
yesterday at the formal dedication of
the new Eagle Hut of the Young
Mems Christian Association in Bry-
ant Park. James w. Gerard. former
ambassador to Germany, said:
How proud We were to read the
brave answer of Secretary of State
Lansing, when he dared the Germans
to make reprisals against our men, If
we should not releave Won Rintelen,
who abused our hospitality by blow
ing UP our ships and factories. If
the Germans commit reprisals on
our prisoners we will fry our Ger
man prisoners right here in Bryant
Park.
II am going to cell you something
/ have never told before. This man
Won Rintelen came to me in Berlin
and asked me to give him a safe
conduct to the United States. He
said he was coming here to do
charitable work for Belgium and
gave me his word as a gentleman
that he was coming here on a mis-
sion of mercy. I knew what he
was coming here for and 1 had so
little confidence in his word of honor
that I did not even transmit his re-
quest to the State Department. Won
Rintelen came here on a false pass
port. You know what kind of chari-
table work he did. We won't give
him back and we will keep every
traitor and spy here and give them
full penalty of the law.
This is a hard war, but it is not
as hard as it looks. You have heard
of the so-called gold Kaiser cup that
the Kaiser gave to an American az
prize in yacht race. The Kaiser
said it was made of gold, but Mar
shall Mccarthy found, in breaking it,
that 1t was made of pewter. That is
the sort of sport the Kaiser is. The
great military force of Germany Isl
like the Kaiser's gold cup. Break
that force only once and you will
find that 1t is made of pewter. Ger
many wants her place in the sun,
their Chancellor said. Before our
brave soldiers are through with the
Kaiser he will be in a place far
warmer than the sum-"

BOY SCOUTS TO
PRESENT PLAY
Eagle Troop Members to Give
Three,Act Comedy in
Auditorium

Final dress rehearsals for THE
Boy Scouts" a three-act comedy to
be given by Boy Scouts of No.
Eagle Patrol, in the High School Au-
ditorium on Saturday evening at SIG
o'clock, will be held the latter part
of this week under the direction OF
Prof. w. NJ. Harclerode.
The Scouts have been drilling fol
the play for two months under the
direction of Prof. Harclerode and
have developed into good actors. The
proceeds of the play will be devoted
to fund to be used in welfare work
in the borough. Some of the pro-
ceeds will be used this summer for
the annual camping trip. Charles
w, Mccoy is scoutmaster of this
troop. Seat sale will open at Ideal

Story of Play
The play, in three acts, tells the
story of a boy scout, Worth Leonard
who insists that the patrol make his
friend a member. This friend is a
selfish, rich boy who, no doubt,
would introduce questionable games

elected as a member. The other boys
OF the troop have a poor boy, Tony,
in mind and want to elect him. One
night, Worth Leonard's home is
burned to the ground and Tony saves
Worth's life at the risk of his own.
Yony is then nominated as tender
foot scout by Leonard in the last
act.
Much fun will be centered around
Nip and Tuck, two impersonators,
taken by William Messenger and
Charles Arnold. Floyd Watson is
sure to make hit as the lazy COL
ored janitor. Six little lone scouts
will play the part of Mrs. Water
melons children.
