paid the barber and got out"
Mr.. Schwab explained that he had
left his home in Loretta without a

Drummer WILL
OUTLINE PLANS
FOR MEMORIAL
Famous Architect to Give De-
tails For Bridge and
Granite Shaft

State officials, architects and en-
gineers will meet here Wednesday
for general conference with repre-
sentatives of the Pennsylvania Rail
road, the Harrisburg Railways Com
pany and other Harrisburg utilities
to discuss details of the Soldiers and
Sailors Memorial bridge for which
the Board of Public Grounds and
Buildings will open bids on Septem-
Der %. Since the hearing a few
days ago questions have arisen as to
location of piers and other matters
relative to the section passing over
the railroad and the Harrisburg
Railway has asked for a clearer un-
derstanding in regard to the ap-
proaches and as to temporary tracks
during the construction of the
bridge. 1t is possible that some dis
cussion of additional tracks on the
Hill section and on Herr street may
be taken up.
Arnold w. Drummer, the architect
in charge of the States Capitol Park
plans and j. E. Greiner, the bridge
engineer, will be here on Wednesday
to meet with the utility companies
engineers and also to address the
Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce
in regard to the citys memorial and
it's relation to the Memorial bridge.
At the same time it is probable
that some arrangement may be
made for start of work on streets
bounding the park which the city
is anxious to undertake so that it
can get its share of the operatio ks
under way. Governor William c.
Sproul has expressed himself as fav-
oring pushing of the project.
To Make Luncheon Speech
Mr.. Brunner will address the
Memorial Committee of 125 citizens

number of other soldiers who had
been wounded, although wounded
himself to such an extent, that he
later died from his injuries, Private
Francis X. Naughton, Sanitary De-
tachment of the 112th Infantry, has
resulted in his being awarded a dis
tinguished service cross. Announce

CURED on October /, of last year
when shell exploded while mess
was being served. The story is we'll
told in the citation, copy of which
follows:
For extraordinary heroism in ac-
tion in the Argonne Sector France,
October 1, 1918. While mess was
being served a shell exploded,
killing 8 men and wounding 20.
Private Naughton, although severely
wounded in the chest with shell
splinters, one leg blown nearly off,
and bleeding badly, refused help un-
til the others had been attended to.
Skilled in first aid, he instructed
others how to adjust a tourniquet
and rendered other assistance to the
wounded, finally permitting his own
wounds, which subsequently causesd
his death, to be attended after all
others were cared for.'
Private Naughton, at the time of
his death, was but slightly more than
21 years old. He enlisted in June
1917, with the Pennsylvania National
Guard. He was located for a time
at the Island after which he trained
at Camp Hancock, Ga, and sailed
for France with the Twenty eighth
Division early in 1918.

Permission to Come Back
Parliament Would Not
Grant
AUTHOR OF THE WAR
A Powerful Clique of Pan-Germans Is
Back of Attempt to Return
the Kaiser

BERLIN, May 81, (via Copen-
hagen)-Pan-German agitation foI
the return of the Kaiser family has
caused much alarm among the true
friends of the republic, all the more
because it is generally regarded as
an attempted resuscitation of the
spirit of Prussianism with reaction
airy plots against the republic in the
background.
The proposed petition to Parlia-
ment to permit the return .has not
been produced yet, but it is almost
certain it will be unsuccessful. Min
lister of the Interior Heine, speaking
to the correspondent said:
81 am thinking that the persons
who are arranging that petition can
not be fully informed about the Hoh-
enzollerns' intentions, for have good
reasons to believe that they do not in
tend to apply to the Parliament for
permission to return, but, even ii
they did, Parliament may be trusted
to deny permission. There is certain
-ly danger that the presence of the
Kaiser and Crown Prince here might
strengthen reaction, and cause the re-
publican government more of less SER
ious trouble, against which we must
guard by refusing to issue any such
invitation"
"It is said that a powerful clique OF
Pam Germans whose leaders fear hav-
ing to appear with Wilhelm as co-de-
PENDANTS have conspired to bring the
Hohenzollerns back to Germany, hop
ing that public sentiment may rise in
their favor and shield the Hohenzol-
lerns as well as their codefendants
against appearing in international
court" observed the correspondent.
"The German people," the minister
replied, "might shield man like Hin
denburg, whom all respect for his
answering devotion to duty, and pa
triotism, but would never do that for
Wilhelm, who on whatever grounds
is generally regarded as responsible
for the consequences. Neither Will
helm nor any of his slique can expect
the German people to raise hand in
their defense, and what little sympa>
thy the Hohenzollerns still have
among certain classes would disap-
pear quickly if they in any way ex-
erted political activity.

penditures,~
A resolution, approved by party
leaders, was introduced by Represen-
tative Graham, Illinois, calling for the
appointment by Speaker Gillett of a
special committee of Is members "to
investigate fully all contracts and
expenditures made by the war de-
partment or under its directions dur
ing the present war;" Early action on
the measure is planned by the Repub-
licans.
Although calling for appointment
of a special committee, party leaders
said that the resolution merely con-
templated enlargement of the stand
ing House committee on war depart
ment expenditures, consisting of four
Republicans and two Democrats and
headed by Mr Graham. Provision
for the larger committee, Floor Lead
er Mondell said, was made "because
there are a number of branches in
the department which may be deem
ed wise to examine separately"
through subcommittee.
"The purpose of the Investigations,
n G. ;v oil +ba onY,o N, ittanc thot will I'M
dertake work of that character" add
ed MI. Mondell, "is accurately stated
in the legislative program promulgat-
ed by the Republican conference at
the beginning of this Congress--to
inform the people of war expendi-
lures and serve the public interest"
The resolution was referred to the
rules committee, headed by Represen-
tatives Campbell, Kansas, who said he
anticipated it would be called to the
attention of his committee next
week.
Party leaders intimated that the
investigation might assume wider
scope than inquiry merely into the
war department. 1t was said that
the committee might later investigate
expenditures of the $100,000,000 war
fund given the President for discre-
tionary disposal, and also for an in
vestigation of the war risk insurance
bureau.
