FOREST PARK OPENS.

Forest Park, Chicago's coolest and
most attractive summer amusement
park, will throw open its gates on
Wednesday, May 20, for what prom.
ises to be tho most successful season
in its history. For weeks carpenters,
painters and mechanics of every kind
have been at work remodeling old
amusement devices and building new
ones for the amusement of the
crowds that will begin pouring
through the gates on the opening day.
The plans for the season include all
of the best of last seasons attractions
and score or more new ones, which
are sure to add to the already great
popularity of the great West Side
playground. While tho new attrac-
lions are far too numerous to mention
here, there are few that are Of un-
usual interest. Among them are The
Gump House, where Andy and Min
will entertain their friends, and
where Old Doc Yak and his 34S will
be on hand to tell the thrilling tale
of the recovery of his famous car.
Then there will be a vivid presenta-
ton of q sea battle, In which will be
shown the torpedoing of hospital
ship, the chase and subsequent sink
ing of the enemy submarine In wild
storm. Another feature of interest
will be Ballman's Ballet Review, in
which will be employed most at
tractive group of young women In
songs and dances, and which will be
free to all OF the parks patrons.
Their entertainment will be given In
the concert grove, through which q
long runway has been built from the
bandstand, which will be the stage
| from which they will work.
All Of the old rides and amusement
devices which proved popular last
season have been brightenend up and
improved and thoroughly tested as to
their safety and comfort and the
management is taking many steps to
add to the conveniences of the pa.
irons of the park.

The man of lesser wealth may sign

but both were repulsed. American
infantrymen went out of their

Details of the action were made

The enemy raided our trenches
at two points. The first attack was
tepulsed easily. In the second the
enemy was allowed to reacn our wire

was continued until the first enemy

RAILROAD RUMBLES
WHY PR. R. HAS
NO CHAIRMAN
Only State Residents Are on
Board of Directors; Near
General Offices

Reasons why the Pennsylvania
Railroad has never needed a chair
man, and other interesting facts,
were told yesterday by the financial
editor of the Philadelphia Press. He
says, in part:
When the Pennsylvania Railroad
was incorporated it was provided in
the charter that no person should be
eligible to serve as a member of the
board or directors unless he was a
citizen of the state of Pennsylvania,
which granted the charter. Owing
to this wise provision all directors
of the Pennsylvania Railroad are
within easy reach of the general Of
fees in Philadelphia and most of the
directors are residents of Philadel-
phia.
Being in such close touch with the
general offices, the business of a di-
rector of the Pennsylvania has al
ways been far more than perfume
tory. The directors are always
available for committee work and,
taking the group as a whole, it may
be said of them that they are al
ways 'on the job
In Close Touch
"The private offices of most of
these men are within walking dis
tance Of the Pennsylvania general of
fees. This is one reason why the
Pennsylvania board has never felt
the need of a chairman.
Members OF the Atchison board are
scattered over five states from Kans-
as to Massachusetts. The st. Paul
board is scattered over three states,
while the Union Pacific directors
come from five states and those of
the Southern Pacific from six states.
Many railroads of the West have
their chief offices in the city of New
York, far removed from the properties
over which the directors have con-
troll. The close touch of the Penn
| sylvania directors with the affairs OF
the road is one reason for the eff
cheney of that great organization and
it helps to account for the long and
| unbroken dividend record"
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-04-08

something which would be consider
ed unfortunate.
Now in the case of the Donate
statute there seems to be no ques-
ton as to the artistic value of these
dancing girls. Neither is there any
question that the fountain was not
designed for Harrisburg. 1t has no
relation to anything that is connect
ed with the life of Harrisburg. 1t
is inconceivable that the city itself
would ever purchase any such fig
ures or would Importantly place
them. They came to us, it is appar-
ent, through Mr.. Hershey's fnciden-
tai generosity. He was sore at hav-
ing to pay for the fountain, and not
desiring frequently to see it again,
avoided putting it on his own lawn
or presenting it to his own town. To
be perfectly frank, he just dumped
1t on Harrisburg because he did not
like it.
Donate Anxious
When Mr.. Donate, the sculptor,
came here, he was quite naturally
anxious to get for his own work the
place of utmost desirability from his
standpoint. AS a member of the
committee which was asked by the
! council to advise with him, 1 tried
to make plain that the city's rela-
tionship was too important to be
treated in the fashion in which he
was seemingly anxious to treat il. |
do not wonder that he could not see
TINS point of view. His consideration
OF the subject was wholly with rela-
ton to the placing of his own work.
1t had nothing whatever to do with
the state of Pennsylvania or with the
city of Harrisburg. When he was Of
fered quite desirable locations in
| Reservoir Park, he secuted them.
There was but one place suitable. as
he saw it, and that was at Front
and State streets.
Il believe that Harrisburg will be
doing full Justice to Mr.. Hershey's
incidental generosity and giving full
outlet to Mr.. Donates sculptural
achievement If 1t carefully places
this fountain somewhere in Reser-
voir Park where it can be not q ma
Jor object of attention, but an in
cident in beautiful landscape, as,
| for instance, should ii be permitted
to end vista, where it can be over
| looked and where in seats to be pro
vided, visitors to that park can con-
template it as they may see fit.
i sincerely trust the city fathers
will think straight in this matter.
and not be carried away by any sem
Etimental forgetfulness of the dignity
and achievements of Harrisburg"
