Reinforcements Rush
to Standards of Army
of Gen. Yudenitch

Stockholm, Thursday, Oct. 16.-
General Yudenitch, whose north
western Russian army is marching
on Petrograd, had been reinforced
by troops commanded by Prince
Peter Lieven and volunteers from
Archangel, who now form the van
guard of the advance on the former
Russian capital, according to a
Helsingfors dispatch to the Dag
bladt.
"a London dispatch received last
Saturday stated that Prince Lieven
was experimenting the co-ordina-
ton of forces commanded by Col.
Avaloff- f-Bermondt and General Won
der Goltz, which have been fighting
in and about Riga for several days.)
Esthonian forces are reported not
to have advanced materially, but
no further advances by the Russo
German troops along the southern
coast of the Gulf of Finland has
been made.
The defeat of the Bolsheviki be-
fore Petrograd is said to have been
due to lack of discipline, as they
have plenty of ammunition and
guns. The Bolshevik front has been
broken at several places and the
Soviet reserves are insufficient to
check the advance of the Yudenitch
forces.

Washington Hears
Both Petrograd and
KrOnstadt Taken
Bu Associated Press

Washington, Oct. IL Reports of
the capture of Petrograd and Kron-
stadt by Northwestern Russian forces
under General Yudenitch were receiv-
ed at the State Department to-day
from an American consular officer in
Sweden on the Finnish border. Con-
firmation of the reports had not been
received when the dispatch was sent
but it was said that they generally
were credited in Sweden.
Reports from Stockholm to-day
said the Bolsheviki were concentrat-
ing the bulk of their troops for a
decisive struggle with General Deni-
kine's cossack forces in the south
Denikines penetration west of Voro-
nezh and the fall of Kursk were re-
garded as threatening seriously the
central Soviet government at Mos
cow. At a recent Soviet meeting in
Petrograd, Chief Commissary Vini-
vaieff described the situation as OF
the utmost seriousness.
An official dispatch from Omsk
dated October IA. said that the whole
north Siberian army rested on the
Tobol river and that the other two
armies were an average of only five
miles from the same river. On the
Semiretche front Admiral Kolchak's
forces have advanced, capturing 5000
prisoners.

STATE TO PLAN
PARK TREATMENT
NEXT TUESDAY
Details For Building and
Landscaping to Be De-
cided at Once

Determination will be reached by
the State Board of Public Grounds
and Buildings next Tuesday as to
what work to undertake in the way
of new buildings in the Capitol Park
Improvement plan in addition to the
Memorial Bridge. The contract for
the bridge will be signed next week
and the contractor will present the
required bond and begin the pre-
liminary operations.
The Board will receive the de-
tailed plans for the new office build
ing and will decide when to ask for
bids and also what to do in regard
to the start of the granite terrace
and the changes on the boundary
streets. 1t is also probable that the
plans of the Harrisburg Railways
Company for it's new lines and also
of the Pennsylvania Railroad for
certain track changes will come
before the Board.
A committee of experts has been
making a study of the heat and
lighting system of the Capitol and
the present station in the basement
of the Capitol or to recommend the
construction of larger plant in the
vicinity of the park which can care
for the whole group and the en-
larged park. The latter proposition
is bound to come ultimately and the
main question is what to do in the
next few years.
Arnold w. Brunner the architect,
and ]. E. Greiner, the engineer, will
be here to consult with the board
and give their ideas in regard to
the winter program.

a famous old place. for it was there

he was afterwards elected.
The Rev. John George Loch who
was pastor of Zion Lutheran from
1915 to 1926. suggested one hundred
years ago that a school for all chill
dren be organized in order that they
might be taught the Bible. over 300
were enrolled within month, SO
popular was the idea, and soon the
entire State was dotted with Sunday
Schools which went hand in hand with
the church services. Hundreds of old
Harrisburg families have their names
enrolled among the first members of
those classes.

General Improvement
in Condition Of the
President Checked

Washington, Oct. IT. - While
President Wilson was feeling well
to-day, his physicians said the pros
tatic condition from which he had
been suffering for several days was
checking the general improvement
of the last two weeks.
The doctors issued the following
bulletin:
"12.25 p. m. White House, October
II, 1919:
1.-THE President passed a comfort
able night and is feeling well this
morning. His temperature, pulse
and respiration rates are normal.
The prostate condition is not as
satisfactory as yesterday and is
checking general improvement of the
last two weeks"
DIR. Grayson announced that he
had called in DR.. Hugh Young, of
Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore,
one of the foremost specialists in the
country on prostatic troubles. and
that he was expected at the White
House some time to-day. During
the morning the President was treat
ed by DR.. Fowler, a Washington
specialist, who was called in when
the President first suffered this
complication several days ago.
DR.. Young will make thorough
examination of the swelling of the
prostate gland to determine whether
an operation is necessary, DR.. Gray
son said.
The physician said the swelling of
the prostate gland, from which the
President had been free all day yes
terday and the night before, return

and caused some irritation.

SCHOOL BOARD
GIVES ITS SIDE
TO WAGE DISPUTE
Demands of Teachers Would
Throw District Into An
other Defeat

That the city school directors will
grant the increases which teachers
of the city claim is due them under
the original salary schedule in ad-
dition to the increases they re-
ceived through the provisions of the
Woodruff salary bill, was doubted
to-day by school officials.
Secretary D. d. Hammelbaugh ex-
planned that every teacherr on the
district payroll has had increases
in salary ranging from thirty-two
to 100 per cent. in the last five
years. They have all been listed
for the increases provided by the
Woodruff salary bill, but to pay
them the other increases also which
are provided in the salary schedule
is purely optional with the School
Board, he said. Tt would require
at least $4,000 to pay, the salary
and would create another deficit in
the school accounts next July, which
would probably mean that the pres
ent tax rate of thirteen and one-half
mills would be continued at least
for another year. Many of the
teachers also would receive more
pay than the maximum allowed, Mr.,
Hammelbaugh said
Double Increases
Last year all teachers entitled
to an increase under the salary
schedule, which was approved long
before the salary bill went before
the Legislature, received a double
increase. All teachers in the CITY
who had reached the maximum al
lowed by our salary schedule were
given increases of 500.
THE lowest increases in salary
in the last five years was thirtv-
two per cent, and the highest was
100 per cent. One teacher received
$3.50 in 1914. She receives $3.50
now, an increase of seventy-six per

MAKE EFFORTS
TO FRAME PACT
ON BARGAINING
Employers Would Not Be Re-
quired to Deal With Other
Than Own Employees
A SUBSTITUTE MEASURE
Provides Individual Establish
ments Shall Be Basis of
Relationship
By Associated Press

Washington, Oct. 17.-Represen-
tatives of capital in the National In
dustrial Conference continued their
efforts to-day to frame declaration
on collective bargaining to be of
fered as a substitute for the resolu-
ton presented yesterday by the COM
mittee of fifteen.
While acknowledging the right of
collective bargaining, the declaration
in it's tentative form provides that
the individual establishments shall
be the basis of relationship, and that
the employers shall not be required
to deal with others than their own
employees.
Hope was expressed by labor
delegates that Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Fe3era-
ton of Labor, who has been suffer-
ing from nervous exhaustion, will be
able to resume his place to-day as
leader of the labor delegation. Mr..
Gompers' temperature was normal
last night, his secretary reported. He
is very anxious to be back in the
conference room but his physician
has advised further rest.
while the representatives of capt.
tai were in session, the labor and
public groups marked time and con-
ference officials said they did not
know when the days sessions would
begin.
The public delegates indicated a
willingness to refer the entire ques-
ton of collective bargaining back to
the committee of fifteen, although
labor delegates expressed vigorous
opposition to further postponement
of the steel strike arbitration reso-
luton.

York, a public representative, who
