OVERHEAD WIRES
OF CITY ARE
COMING DOW N
Line of Poles East in Walnut
Street From River Will
Be Removed

Removal of the overhead wires
of the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company on the line of
poles from the river to Penbrook eX-
tending east in Walnut street, will
be started on Thursday, City Elec-
trician Clark E. Diehl said to-day
AS soon as the wires are removed,
the poles, each one more than 60
feet high, will be taken down.
During the last few weeks the
company replaced the overhead lines
in conduits underground and as a
result about 100 poles are no longer
needed. A few city wires on the
poles will be removed at the same
Mr.. Diehl said.
With the announcement of the
plan of the Western Union Com
pany that it will place its entire
wire system underground in the
city, thus permitting the removal of
all overhead wires and poles, num-
bering more than 200, the total
number of poles which will come
down in the city before next Janu-
ary will be more than 900.
The Western Union Company will
place conduits and cables under
ground from the city line at the
COuilS dlIlSllOiSS, west III GdAJCHl
street to River, to Mulberry, to
Third, to the company office in
North Third street. This will per-
nit the removal of poles in Derry
street to the city line, downtown
streets, and in North Seventh to
Maclay streets.
Gable lines replacing overhead
systems of the Harrisburg Light anu
Power Company have been stretched
in practically the entire business
section and connections will be made
soon with the result that several
hundred poles used by that cor
poration can be taken down.
City overhead lines for the police
and fire alarm system extending
north in Court street from Null
berry to State are to be replaced by
cables, and a few poles in Walnut
street also are to be removed.
According to Mr.. Diehl, much of
this work will be done during the
late summer and early fall and all
the overhead systems should be
removed by December, and many
more of the city streets will be
beautified by the improvement, he
said.

CLUB TO OPEN
FOR COLORED
WAR VETERANS
New Organization Fostered
by War Camp Commun-
ity Service

The Harrisburg Colored Soldiers
Club. which is being established
through efforts of the War Camp
Community Service to better care for
the needs of colored soldiers of the
city and community, will be form
ally opened tomorrow evening. A
special program has been arranged
for presentation in the newly-fur-
nished rooms of the organization in
the Wickersham School Building.
Briggs and Cowden streets, starting
at S.30 o'clock.
The program tomorrow evening
will be in charge of Lieut.. E. A.
Romero. He has been in this city
directing activities Of the organiza-
ton as it concerns colored people of
the city for the past several months
and will have charge of the new
club.
Robert A. Enders, president of
the Harrisburg school board, will be
the principal speaker at tomorrow
evenings program. Other promin-
ent citizens are expected to be in
cluded on this program, which will
include other important features.
The new club is made up of two
commodious rooms. which have been
we'll fitted up for the purpose. One
room has been fitted up with pool
table, tables for cards. checkers and
other games. The other room will
serve as a reading room, where
writing materials will be provided
and where the men will be able to
entertain their guests.
These rooms will be available for
use until about September l, when
they will have to be turned back to
the school board to be gotten into
shape for the fall term of school.
They have been rendered available
for use through efforts of colored
citizens of the city working in con-
junction with the War Camp Com
munity Service.
The present club comes into eX-
istence to meet a big need in the
city, according to Lieutenant Ro-
nero. Shortly after the establish
ment of the War Camp Community
Service in this city, another club
was established in South Second
street for the needs of the colored
men. This club was not sufficiently
centrally located and was ordered
closed because of the little real need
that it was able to furnish.
Activities of the new organization
will soon be in full swing. Mrs. AL
Ian Brooks, of Brooklyn, is expected
to arrive in this city, and Will be
engaged in colored girls work, ac-
cording to an announcement made
to-day. Efforts will be made to
arouse a community spirit among
the people, which will continue to
work good results even after the
War Camp Community Service ceases
to function. The efforts now look to
the end of the establishment of a
community center.

MOTHERS FUND
NOT BIG ENOUGH
TO ASSIST ALI.
Pension Only For Those in
Dire Straits, Says the
Committee

Plans for using the appropriation
in this county will be made to-mor-
row at a meeting of the board of di-
rectors of the Dauphin County Moth
ers' Association to be held at Red
Cross Headquarters.
Yesterday the Dauphin County
Commissioners provided S6,2SS16 as
the countys share toward the fund
for the year ending June l, 1920. \
similar amount has been appropriate
ed by the State for expenditure here.
According to Mrs. Lyman d. Gill
bert, president of the association,
much aid can be furnished with the
amount which is available, but it
is much below the needs at present.
Because of this fact the directors
have decided that aid is to be given
only to the families who are in the
greatest need. In the upper end of
the county there are a number of
families who must be cared for be-
cause of the many men who died
during the inluenZa epidemic.
The highest amount paid to
widow with one child is $12; with
two children, $50; three children,
$26, and So for each additional child.
The money provided for the present
fiscal year is almost double the ap-
preparation for the last one, ending
June /. 1919, but it was only a period
of five months.
Officers of the Association are
Mrs. Gilbert. president: Mrs. Mercer
b. Tate, secretary, and Mrs. David
E. Tracy, treasurer. Members OF the
board of directors are the officers
and Mrs. David Kaufman. this city;
Mrs. John H. Lehr, Lykens, Mrs.
Robert NJ Rutherford, Steelton. and
Mrs. d. =. Dietrick, Middletown.

ELLIOTT-FISHER MEN
GET DOWN TO WORK
After Night of Entertainment Delegates From All Parts of
the Globe Hear Speakers Outline Business Methods

from $50 to $50, four baseball
games at Island Park and a dance
in the evening is the program for
tomorrow.
Last Nights Fun
The Penn-Harrls grill was packed
last night to overfiowing with the
liveliest crowd of statesmen that ever
came to Harrisburg. They called
it smoker on the Elliott-Fisher
convention program, but it turned
out to be a musicale unequaled for
variety at any similar previous af-
fair.
The doors of the grill were thrown
open to the happy family of sales
men at 8 o'clock and Immediately
a seven-piece jazz orchestra peeled
forth loud, jingling crashes and
someone began to sing. A sales
man named Coffman, of the COM
pany's San Francisco office, sud
denly shed his coat and collar and
commenced to dance. His asso-
ciates were delighted to find that
they had an unheralded eX-profes-
sional in their midst. A spontaneous
chap from Los Angeles followed with
a shimmie dance all his own.
One Hundred Voices
Sales Manager Spahr led the
CnOruS OF over tnree hun0reQ voices.
They sang several numbers on the
Elliott Fisher convention songbooks
and almost before the last of these
songs was finished P. T. Shade, of
New York, was singing solo. The
Penn-Harris orchestra and quartet
then came on to vary the music.
The program was arranged so
that the statesmen were not permit
ted to get used to any one brand
of music before another tuned up.
The jazz orchestra played a fast
one while one of it's number sang
and danced on a round-top table.
Mr.. Buch, of the local Elliott
I1sher factory organization, gave
one of his anti-booze recitations and
Jimmie" Fitzpatrick, of the general
office, tuned his violin to accom-
pany a fair young soprano.
Just before the windup, two mu-
sical artists from the Wilmer and
vincent circuit sang and guitared
their way into the grill and enter
tanned for short round.
Everyone stood up and closed the
smoker with song to President P.
d. Wagner
Yesterdays program was devoted
chiefly to an inspection of the plant
in South Cameron street. One hun
dred photographs of members of
the convention were taken and
more than 1000 feet of movie film
were made of the men as they
allghted from the cars or moved
about the busy manufacturing CEN
ter.

BAKER MOTOR COMPANY
REPORTS GOOD BUSINESS

Henry L. Baker of the Baker Motor
company says that the prospects for
the sale of automobiles and the actual
sales that have taken place, are the
greatest they have ever been in this
part of the country. 1t Is not ques-
ton OF how many cars a dealer can
SELL, but rather of how many he can
get to sell. There is an actual short
age of 100000 new cars in America
Today. AS an example, the Baker
Motor company has had orders in for
i've carloads of cars since last Feb
ruary for immediate shipment at that
time and have just now received word
ol the shipment of two of these car
loads.

". S. c. DROPS TWO
GAMES TO UNIVERSITY
Ragged Playing and Loose Fielding
in Ninth Comes Too Late

The U. ow w. nine doubled the
score on Coach Boilers aggregation
last Friday in the first of two
game series. Score, to 4.
This game was apparently a repe-
tition of the first o. A. C. game, the
nine innings collecting the sum of
nine errors for w. S. c. Our boys
seemed unable to get together and
had an off day that happens to any
team.
"Busher' Lewis, States pitcher,
tossed an alright game and was de-
serving of far better support than he
received and had the team played as
consistently throughout the entire
game as when they rallied in the
ninth, it would have been a different
story.

close score of 3 too. The game was
only after a hard fight and by the
close and we'll played throughout,
both teams tightening up after the
medley OF errors in Fridays game.
w. S. C.s infield went on the field
to win and played fast and practical
ly air-tight. Loren, at shortstop, and
Rocky at second, won the fielding
honors for the invaders. DOC"
sent a strong team against the vic
tors, but the university's hitting was
too much for Cook, who had very
little on the ball.
