Frank B. Wickersham, assistant
the exception of few years when
he was a member of the House of
Representatives announced to-day
that he will retire from the position
of prosecuting attorney for the Com
monwealth, with the close of his
present term, which ends next Janu-
ary.
Mr.. Wickersham is one of the best
known members of the Dauphin
county bar. For years he has resided
in Steelton, and has been borough
solicitor for thirty years. AS AS
sistant District Attorney he has been
in the service of the county for
twenty years, handling court cases
with four District Attorneys of the
county.
Mr.. Wickersham began his work
as d Prosecuting Attorney in 1897,
with the late Meade d. Detweiler,
then District Attorney. In 1899, he
became assistant to Albert Millar,
an uncle of Albert Millar, one of
| the Representatives from Harris
] burg at the last session of the Leg
J iSlature.
Member of Legislature
SIX years later Mr.. WlckerSham
| became assistant to John Fox Weiss,
who was the next District Attorney.
He prosecuted cases with Mr.. Weiss
| for three years, and then was elected
a member of the Legislature, attend
ing the sessions of 1905, 1906 and
1907. At the expiration of Mr.
! Weiss term, Michael E. Stroup, the
present District Attorney. was
elected, and he named MIR. Wicker
sham an assistant, after the latter
had not appeared as a Prosecuting
Attorney for a lapse of about foul
years while in the House of Repre-.
sentatives. Since 1912, however, he
has served as an assistant continu'
ously.
A feature of Mr.. Wickersham'
long service is the number of mur.
der cases he has handled, either
for the prosecution or in defense
Probably no other attorney in the
county bar has appeared in more
cases as counsel on one or the Other
side in homicide trials.

Weiss was District Attorney Mr.

AMERICANS LIKE

Rome, Monday, Aug. 11.-Pro-
fessor Luigi Luzzatti, former
Premier, has received thousands
of letters from America which
demonstrate the love of Ameri-
cans" for taking chance" This
avalanche of correspondence,
which the aged statesman showed
the correspondent tonight, was
filled with checks for amounts
varying from 81 to 500, the ag-
gregate running up into the thou
sands. The letters implored the
former Premier to reserve tick
cts in the gigantic international
lottery which the letters assert
ed he is conducting to pay the
cost of the war.
THE proposal for an interna-
tional lottery was widely pub
lished in the French press" he
said. such scheme was
shown me by an Italian some
months ago, but am not .denti-
ud with it. In fact, at the time
that I was interviewed regarding
the plan l strongly disapproved
of it. I hope Americans will for
give my inability to satisfy their

100000 NEEDED
TO EXTEND CITY'S
SEWER SYTSEM
Harrisburg's Growth Said to
Be Hindered by Lack of
Drainage

Commissioner w. H. Lynch to-day
asked other members of City Coun-
Gil to approve an ordinance asking
the voters to approve a 100000 loan
for new sewers.
In his statement Mr.. Lynch asks
that trunk sewers be constructed
in Sham"kin street, and along the
state Hospital grounds, in addition
to the large one to be extended along
Spring creek.
The ordinance providing for a vote
on the loan probably will be passed
finally in week or two. The ques-
tion whether the city's Indebtedness
isto be increased for these import
ant sanitary improvements will be
submitted TO the voters in November.
Mr.. Lynch's statement to Council
follows in part:
Lynch's Statement
I'VE have the fact before us that
because of it's rapid growth, there are
many parts of this city where it is
impossible, without additional main
sewers to drain many houses now
constructed using pits, and this con-
dition prevents the building of HON s
in most desirable sections, which
homes are at present so badly needed.
1t is unnecessary to say that cess
pools are very expensive to maintain,
and very annoying and insanitary.
Because of the topography of this
city with its outlying hills, it is i'm
possible to further extend the pres
ent sewers. and new conduits should
Le constructed, reaching through low =
lands the locations spoken of above.
Spring creek sanitary sewer
should be extended eastwardly
along the creek from Nineteenth
street to near the almshouse, and then

Bu Associated Press.

Washington. Aug. II. - Living
problems continue to absorb much
of the attention of Congress. Fed
eral supervision of the issuance OF
stocks and certificates has been pro-
posed in the Senate and the cold
storage regulation suggested by
President Wilson is before the
House agricultural committee.
While Congress went ahead with
consideration of various bills and
suggestions for legislative relief At
torney General Palmer continued
negotiations with representatives of
his department of state, city and
county agents throughout the coun-
try for cooperation to bring about
lower prices for the necessities OF
life.
Retail Dealers Feel Pinch
Coincident with the announcement
by the War Department that prices
of surplus Army food would be re-
adjusted from time to time to con-
form to reductions in the retail mar
ket on similar commodities, which
was taken here as an indication that
retail dealers already were begin
ming to feel the effects of the Gov
ernmeEt's action in placing the vast
quantities of stores on the market,
! it was announced last night that the
War Department also would offer TO
the public two million surplus blan-
kets. These include practically all
grades and range in price from Sc
for the best all-wocl to S1.25 for
| reclaimed cotton blankets.
Sale and distribution of the blan-
kets will be conducted through post
office and municipal channels on the
same plan that foodstuffs are be-
ing handled.
Garretson Makes Charges
A. B. Garretson, former head of
| the Order OF Railway Conductors,
| told the House Interstate Comm
Committee to-day that operating Of
| ficials in charge of railroads during
! Government control were aCtuated
by the one desire of demonstrating
that Government ownership was not
best for the country.
Exactly the same operating force
that built up great surplus before
the war created this big deficit,
Garretson said.
There could be no real test as
to Government operation so long as
the future disposition of the roads
had not been determined. Every
effort was made to convince the
people that private management
was best.
when the railroad official praises
he turns his face to Wall street, bu
once it is demonstrated, for instance
that management in future will cen
ter in Washington, l am sure he will
serve the Government as earnestl!

Long in Courts
Much litigation followed. APP
peals from the wards of the viewers,
court trials, appeals from verdicts
and the courts decision about legal
points, all ended recently when the
State Supreme Court. the highest
judicial body in the State, passed on
the legal points involved with the
taking of the properties.
The only remaining action will be
the payment of the amounts awarded
as damages, so far as the property
owners themselves are concerned, to
be followed necessarily by the raz-
ing of the buildings and the park
development.
After five years of delays and legal
battles the owners in many instances
want the city to end the whole
question by paying over the money.
The municipality has bonded itself
to do this, and one of the property
owners said that he is planning to
go before the court in the fall and
ask to have the money paid to him,
or the ban removed from his prop
erty.
