Fair, Cool Weather
to Continue Some Hours

The weather will continue fair
and cool in Harrisburg tomorrow
at least, Forecaster e. r. Domain,
of the Harrisburg Weather Bureau,
says.
The mercury dropped rapidly after
the thunderstorm of yesterday af-
ternoon and continued low through
out the night. The lowest tempera-
ture recorded during the night was
II degrees, but it is expected to go
as low as 6S tonight, Mr.. Domain
says. The excess in temperature
yesterday was degrees.
One heat prostration was reported
yesterday but the victim, Rueben
Dixon, 2SS Indian alley, is reported
to be in good condition to-day.
Some slight damage resulted from
the storm which came later in the
afternoon to reduce the tempera-
ture.
The cooler weather of to-day and
that predicted for tomorrow is
quite welcome to city ice dealers.
All were predicting a considerable
shortage in the city If the hot
weather, such as was experienced
yesterday and Sunday, continued.
The supply stored up for late sum-
mer use has been drawn on more
than usual thus far and a period
of cool weather will do much to
avert a serious shortage, dealers
say,

Sensational Turn Given Penn
Bank Developments by
announcement

Philadelphia, July 20. Investi-
cations by the State and county in
to the collapse of the North Penn
Bank at Twenty ninth and Dau-
phin streets, took new and sensa-
tional turn yesterday, when it was
revealed that District Attorney Ro-
tan's detectives are busy with certain
information that may lead to two
additional arrests in the wrecking
of the institution.
No hint is given as to the identity
of the men now under strict sur
veillance, nor will James T. Cortel-
you, chief of the county detectives,
give any inkling as to the line of in
quiry which is being pursued.
Ralph T. Meyer. the cashier ac-
cused of running the bank. is at
liberty under s25,000 bail, and is
due to appear at the Central Police
Court late to-day for n hearing. 1t
is believed, however that the CASH

tinuance, or will waive the hearing
and let the matter so directly to

Japan Will Give China
Control of Part Of Shantung,
Jap Diplomat Declares

Washington, July 29.-Mr. De-
buchi, counselor of the japanese
Embassy, in charge in the absence
of Viscount Ishii, conferred at the
State Department with Secretary
Lansing.
So far as is known. no formal
request has been made upon tho
Japanese Embassy by the admins
tration to issue any statement re-
gsrding the Japanese purposes as to
Shantung, but Mr.. Debuchi was will.
ing to discuss the subject with the
Associated Press, with the distinct
understanding, however, that he
was expressing his own personal
views.
In answer to a question as to
what was to be the final disposition
OF the Japanese troops in Shantung,
MIR. Debuchi replied:
Japan has firmly determined to
restore to China her sovereignty
over the leased territory of kiao-
Chau, which sovereignty was con-
terred upon Germany in accordance
with the stipul ltions of tho treaty
petw cen China and Japan in 1908.
Japan is not only prepared to re-
store that property to China, but
also is ready to open negotiations
TO that end with China as soon as
possible"

Hoover Furniture Co. ,
Remodels Storerooms

The Hoover Furniture Company,
1415-19 North Second street, who
for the past month or more have
been doing extensive remodeling and
altering of their storerooms, en-
pect to have everything completed
and in readiness for the opening of
their big August Furniture Sale
which starts Friday morning.
The remodeling of the storerooms
was quite extensive, completely
changing the appearance of the ex-
terror and interior of what was for
merly the three rooms used for the
display of their goods. These three
rooms have been thrown into one
large room. The decorations and
lighting effects are very pretty and
are in keeping with modern furni-
ture stores in the larger cities. Large
plate glass windows in the front
give a view of the entire interior
to passersby.
The second and third floors have
also been changed, with a STAIR
way on the northern side of the
building. On the first floor, a room
has been particularly fitted up for
the demonstration of Detroit Vapor
stoves and Sterling Electric Washers
for which the Hoover Company are
the Central Pennsylvania distribu-
tors.

AFFRAYS OWE INITIATIVE
EQUALLY TO BOTH SIDES

The various affrays owed their
initiative about equally to the two
races. although the Caucasians
seemed to be the prime aggressors,
the Africans starting their assaults
more as counteroffensives. Most of
the white rioters were young men.
Slow to Dispcrse
The police devoted much of their
activity to clearing the streets Of
negroes and many of the fatalities
resulted from the recalcitrancy OF
the negroes against the order to dis
perse. In one crowd at Thirty-hlth
street and State street, former AL
derman De Priest, n negro, was
with a crowd of negroes ordered to
scatter. They refused, despite the
pleading of the former alderman
and two negro police sergeants, and
the officers fired into the assem-
bly,, killing four and barely missing
De Priest.
A police captain in the black belt
ascribed the trouble to the hood
lumism of negroes who came TO
Chicago during the last two years
to make up the shortage in labor
caused by the war. He said his eX-
perience showed that the Older resi-
dents sanely refrained from such
clashes, having become accustomed
to the freedom allowed to negroes
without turning it into license.
Hospitals Filled
During the night hospitals in the
region became filled and doctors
were all overworked caring for the
injured. A negro corpse was taken
into the establishment of a white
undertaken and soon crowd
81 att nAly
News of this spread and thereafter
dead negroes would not be accepte
by white mortuaries.
When the streets had been clear
ed in the negro section, the more
persistent rioters marched down
town and sought outnegroes at their
work. The police in these instances
did not offer protection to the
blacks. One band entered restau-
rant across the street from City
Hall, wrecked part of the furnish
ings, dragged a porter from the
kitchen and beat him unconscious
with q five-gallon bottle. After
wards several bluecoats arrived and
dispersed the crowd.
Governor Makes Appeal
Governor Lowden, before turning
back to help stop the riots, tele-
graphed the following appeal:
II appeal to all citizens. white
and colored. to obey the law. There
are no wrongs committed by either
race that cannot be better redressed
through the orderly processes of law
than by mob violence.
THE entire power of the State
will be used to restore order and
punish those guilty of lawlessness.
1t is time for all good citizens, white
or colored, to aid the authorities in
every way possible to uphold the
law"
Blacks OvcrtalScn
A flying squadron" of negroes
mounted a touring car and riding al
full speed through the section sent
a volley of shots at q group OF
whites. One white woman was in
jured but not fatally. The negroes
were overtaken after a long chase
and placed under arrest.
Shortly afterward a mob of sew
eral hundred negroes formed al
Thirty-fifth street and began stonins

Turks Deliberately
Destroyed Armenians

Berlin, July 29.-What is de-
scribed as the truth about the
Armenian massacres" is revealed 20
the German public by the Tageblatt
which prints extracts of a book
based upon diplomatic documents
which the foreign ministry commits
stoned Johanna Lepsius to write.
The writer shows that the Turk
ish committee of union and prog
ress deliberately decided to realize
national ideas by assimilating or de-
stroying the Armenians, who IN
Turkey number about 1,S50,000. He
describes the arrest and massacre
of 500 Armenian leaders in April,
1915, and how the previous so-called
Armenian rising was provoked as q
pretext for young Turk schemes
Lepsius repudiates the charge that
Germany favored the crimes or that
German officials melted the Turks
to commit them, saying the German
embassy was impotent.
