Al'TO HITS WOMAN' A woman who gave her name as | Mrs. Bird, but refused to give a street! address, was struck yesterday after-1 noon by an automobile driven by An- I son Bellehas, of the rm of Bellehas & j Co. Mrs. Bird stepped from the curb at Fourth and Dauphin streets to cross j Fourth street. MAY LIGHT CITY ' WITH WATER FUND [Continued From First Pago] that the opinion be printed for the' commissioners' individual eonsid- I eration, explained again that ho be- ! lieves the taxpayers should obtain the j I full benefit of the Water Department ; j earnings, but added that necessary ex- I 5 tensions to the reservoir, pumping sta- ; tions, etc., were a matter of the very j near future and that Council should ! give the problem of diverting the whole earnings to the lighting bill : serious consideration. Parking of automobiles and other j vehicles on Fourth street from Chest- j nut to Market is prohibited under pen- ; alty of $5, $lO and $25 fines for sue- I cessive offenses under an ordinance introduced by Commissioner W. 11. i Lynch. | Council unanimously extended a ! vote of thanks to the special commit- ! too headed by Spencer C. Gilbert for the excellent work that had been done in providing the emergency typhoid j convalescent hospital during the re- cent epidemic. Chairman Gilbert j thanks Council for its assistance and ' said a commendatory word about Dr. | J. M. J. Raunick, the city health 1 officer. Dr. Raunick reported that the i emergency hospital was closed on Sat- i urday, after having been in operation i fifty-six days; that 42 city cases, 22 county cases and 17 cases from other counties were cared for. Fixtures cost- i ing $1,157.31 wero provided and the j ' expenses, including salaries, etc., to- j ! taled f2.600, of which SI,OOO has been | paid. This leaves a deficit of about $1,600, but much of the paraphernalia 1 can be returned or sold, according to \ i Dr. Raunick, so that the deficit will I I likely be cut down to about SI,OOO. Poor Director Frank B. Snavely ap- i peared before Council to complain to | the commissioners about Park Super- | intendent Gross' failure to provide for | the removal of the stones from the \ almshouse meadow. Charge and counter charge of "bad faith" in car- j rying out the arrangements incident j to the removal of the stone were ex- i changed between Mr. Snavely and Mr. j ' j Gross and the incident closed when Mr. Gross promised to clear away the i stone by February 1. 'J? GEORGE HOHENSHILDT The quoit team of Camp 8 is still ahead, in the P. O. S. of A. Quoit ; League, and is holding their reputa- ! tion largely on the good pitching of the district president, George Hohen- shildt and George Mundorff. They won five straight games last week. Mr. Hohensliildt was captain of the team last season, and is an authority on quoits. Games to be played this week are as follows: Camp 505 at 477, December 13; Camp 716 at 522. December 14.

The refusal of the International League to abide by the decision of the baseball's su- preme tribunal, the National Commis- sion, in granting the Brooklyn Na- tional League club $9,000 in its claim against the defunct Newark club was the principal topic of consideration when the representations of the Na- tional and International Leagues and the American Association resumed their deliberations here to-day. The action of the International was re- garded as open defiance and, whatever the final outcome is certain to have a'll important bearing on the future re- lationship between the National Com- mission and tiio various leagues. Cold and Clear Weather to Follow Snowstorm Winter paid Harrisburg its first visit this year, arriving shortly before 5 o'clock this morning. More than an inch of snow fell during the morn- ing hours, following by clear skies shortly after noon. Much of the snow melted as it fell causing slushy streets and sidewalks, making walking difficult. Autolsfs and motormen on trolley cars also had trouble because of the slippery streets and wet rails.

Barney Dre.vfuss of Pittsburgh is still of the belief that a reorganization of the National Commission is needed to put the baseball game on the proper standard. Ho may not be able to prove this at the meeting of the Na- tional League, but expects to show that the time is here for something different in the way of protecting the national game. All reports regarding a baseball strike will be settled to-day. It is a safe bet there will be 110 strike. Neither players or magnates will permit con- ditions to reach that stage.

Manning, the city's landscape architectural expert. The park expert incidentally en- thusiastically boosted the plan of in- corporating at least $.">.000 in the city budget for 1917 to provide for the initial structure. The item of $5,000 has been incor- porated in the park departmental es- timates for the coming year. "While I know very iittle about the details, I can add my heartiest word of endorsement to the plan," declared Mr. Manning to-day. "1 will say this: I don't think these bathhouses or bath- ing beaches should be located along the river wall, but the suggestion to build a house and beach along the island shores impresses me as being just the ideal thing to do." Mr. Manning spent the greater part of the day with the Planning Commis- sion in inspecting the proposed re- arrangement of streets and the de- velopment plan for the section of country north of Division street. Visit Riverside Tn the driving snow this morning Mr. Manning, with President E. S. Herman, of the Planning Commission: F. Clark Cowden. the commission's engineer, and V. Grant Forrer. assist- ant park superintendent, visited River- side and the section of country north of it. Mr. Cowden had compiled data and drawings showing the proposed changes and these will be carefully studied by Mr. Manning and the Plan- ning Commission before final adoption of that section of the city's three-mile planning limit. At a meeting this afternoon of the entire commission this problem was again threshed out. The park expert to-day endorsed the ideas advanced vesterda- by A. W.

    The park expert incidentally en-thusiastically boosted the plan of in-corporating at least $.">.000 in the citybudget for 1917 to provide for theinitial structure.

    The item of $5,000 has been incor-porated in the park departmental es-timates for the coming year.

    "While I know very iittle about thedetails, I can add my heartiest wordof endorsement to the plan," declaredMr. Manning to-day. "1 will say this:I don't think these bathhouses or bath-ing beaches should be located alongthe river wall, but the suggestion tobuild a house and beach along theisland shores impresses me as beingjust the ideal thing to do."

    Mr. Manning spent the greater partof the day with the Planning Commis-sion in inspecting the proposed re-arrangement of streets and the de-velopment plan for the section ofcountry north of Division street.
