EIGHT ACRES ARE
CONVEYED FOR
POLICE BARRACKS
New Unit of State Constabu-
larry to Be Housed in
Herr Street

Trustees of the State Insane Hos
pital in this city have conveyed to the
State for erection of the barracks for
Troops Il, the new unit of the State
Police, eight and a third acres of the
farm attached to the institution. The
plan is to ask for bids for the building
of the barracks as soon as possible
and meanwhile enlistment of the men
for the new troop will be started and
it will probably be organized at a
temporary location to be leased near
this city.
The land conveyed lies along Herr
street between 18th and 21st and has
been farmed. 1t adjoins the State
Arsenal property and the new bar
racks will be a short distance from
the military storehouses. The city
parkway will go beside the barracks
following the line of the run and
making very pretty location.
The plan of the State Police de-
partment now is to enlist only men
ot overseas service in the troops and
the new troop will be of men who
have served in actual warfare.

When Mrs. May Heck, on parole
after conviction on a charge of be-

fore President Judge George Kun
kel to-day to report, a neighbor ap-
peared, who declared that the wo-
man was still annoying her.
These charges were made before

phatically. Judge, you don't think

There are a good many thoughts

kels answer. He then told Mrs.
Heck that while under suspended
sentence she had no right to dis
turb neighbor in any manner. re-
gardless of what the neighbors
might say to her.
You are in a different position
than those who complain about
you," he told her. You have been
convicted and are on probation and
must conduct yourself accordingly.
We understand this case thorough
ly and we are tired of having it
brought up again and again."
Mrs. Heck was ordered to pay
the costs of the prosecution and re-
port again in September. About

Run1orS Current in Paris
Vary Widely as to Treaty
By Associated Press.

Paris, June 20. - Widely con-
hicting rumors come from Weimar
concerning the German government.
A Copenhagen dispatch to the Ex-
change Telegraph says the signing
of the treaty is as certain as if the
signatures had already been put to
the document. Another report is
that the cabinet has resigned, but
will continue temporarily in office
until President Ebert has been able
to form new one. Still another re-
port is that the Germans have
asked for further extension of the
time limit within which to act on
the treaty. 1t is reported by way
of London that a poll of the various
parties in the Weimar assem- bly
seems to show that the peace terms
cannot fail to be accepted. The ma
jority Socialists. it is added, gave
a considerable majority in favor of
signing.

[Staff Correspondent of the Even-c
ing Public LEDGER
S" o A BIENNIAL visitor, often
for months at time during
a period covering a third of
a century, the changes that have
been wrought in Harrisburg within
the last two decades are striking and
beautiful. 1t is transformation rath-
er than change.
MY recollection of the city dates
from the Fourth of July, 1873, when
as lad l made an excursion trip
between midnights to and from the
state capital. The name loomed
large in my boyish fancy. My mem
ory recalls it now as a three-story-
brick-courtry town. The only really
nice homes were along the water
front; and some of them were moth

itecture or cleanliness of their fa-
cades.
THE sidewalks were of brick worn
into unSightly holes in frequent
places. The Susquehanna river side
was a precipitous and clayey bank,
with a fringe of driftwood along the
edge of the placid water that was in

out precedent, has just occurred
at Loreto, a celebrated resort of

high cost of living, and when
their claims were not granted
they stopped celebrating masses
and performing other religious
duties.
