"The outlook for four or llvo years to

This concern employs about l."0 persons
nnd Is running night and day at full ca

to ,Kurope. South America nnd South
Africa. A large part of Its Kuropean
trade Is with Turkey and fJreceo.
Mr, Itodda says their business has been
steadily Improving, showing an Increase
of 13 to 10 per cent. In the last few years.
The largest clear manufactory In Lan
caster is that of S. It. Moss & Co. This
firm says the outlook Is sood, but it
cannot say whether It Is the result of
general prosperity throughout the coun
try or the indirect result of the Kuro
pean war. They employ about liyi per
sons, and nlways find some difficulty In
obtaining skilled labor. At picscnt they
are working' at full capacity.
J. J. Kvans. of the Armstrong Cork
Company, manufacturers .of linoleum,
says they nre running at about SO per

600 to 700 persons. Their output Is nil
for domestic consumption. Mr. Evans

NEW YEAR'S PARADE

"Rebels" Will Have No In

John H. Italzley, chairman of Councils'
New Vear's Committee, says there will be
a parade on the Hist ot the year If there
Is but "one club In line." Furthermore,
Mr. HaU.ey declares the whole trouble
nbi.ut the refusal of certain clubs to
march here in honor of King Momus.
going to Wilmington Instead, was that
"certain outsiders" have bought to tuin
the parade into n money-making propo
sition. The Federation of New Vear Associa
tions, composed of 3J clubs, voted to
march In Wilmington, which course, sonni
say. is duo to the fact that Councils re
fused to treat with them as a body, hut
continued tu do business only with Indi
vidual clubs.
Kiiizlei'H stand on the matter Is ex- i
plained by tho following statement he
gave out tbls afternoon:
You may say ihnt the parade ou
liroad stteet on Now Year's Pay will
be held If then' Is but one club In
linn although that condition will not
exls't. An investigation into the mat
ter will show that all of the morn
prominent clubs have already sig
nified their intention of taking part In
tho Broad street parade and I can
mention In this connection the A hlto
Caps. The Lobster, The 31. A. Hruder,
tim Silver Crown and a number of
uthers You ran go further than that
nnd say that the clubs are not making
any treubU- and that when the moment
arrives all of the mummerx will bo t
the starting point at the hour sched
uled to start the local parade.
"An effort H being made, howevel,
hy tome disgruntled, disappointed out
siders who sought to turn tho parade
Into it inone) -making proposition. Tho
proposition thc made tu the clubs
was not satisfactory to it number of
the. mummers, nnd when an effort
was made to force the matter the
most prominent, or. I might say, tho
dubs that are permanently estab
Ushed. absolutely refused to have any
thing to do with the proposition mid
withdrew. This Is true of the Lob
ster, White Caps and Owls, who left
at the one time. The Hruder Club and
the .Silver Crown t'lub have also de
clined to enter Into any agreement
with these parties. It Is absolutely
untrue to say that I have declined to
meet with the Federation of New Yenr
Clubs, for the season that beyond the
call of some Individual, who sought to
obtain my approval of t,ome advertis
ing kclieme, I never had any oltlclal
knowledge of such an organization. I
did know thnt some of the clubs were
holding meetings, but I was led to
believe that there were two separnto
organizations, und to avoid any
trouble, in the matter It was my In
tention to make a personal call at all
of the clubs. In pursuance of an an
nual custom, and to settle all griev
ances, whether real or Imaginary, us
I do every year."
Nineteen clubs already have received
permits for the parade of the shooters
In this city, but many of them are mem
bers of the federation. Pottsvllle will be
represented by the Marching Social Club,
a new organization. Sergeant Hurry

UNCLE SAM GIVES DAN

Miss Matilda Wundcrle Post
pones Wedding Because Sailor
Sweetheart Is Kept in Haiti
Itehlnd the announcement today of the
postponement of the marriage of Miss
Matilda Wunderle, of 2117 North Napa
street, to rjcorgo W. Unvls, nn assist
ant paymaster In tho fulled States Nnvy,
lies n story of Uncle Sam's Interference
with the plans of Cupid. With Its usual
contempt for things sentimental,
the
tinvernmont has prevented the wedding
bells from ringing for the ptesent to the
disappointment and deep chagrin of the
prospective bride and her attendants.
Miss Wunderle was to have married
Unvls on Thanksgiving Day. In fnct
every detail had been arranged, even to
tho last ribbon ou the dress of tho
smnllest flower girl. Hut the would-be
bridal party never expected that tho
absence of tho bridegroom rather nn
essential part for tho ceremonies would
upset their plans. It so happened, how
ever, that Pa vis, who was In Haiti, was
peremptorily ordered to remain ou duty
In that Island.
Davis Is n'petty officer on the Washing
ton, which was sent to Haiti to quell the
Insurrection there. In his Inst letter to
Miss Wunderle he Informed her that the
trouble was over, nnd that he would be
homo by the end of November to claim
her. Then came n cablegram, short nnd
I pathetic, saying that he must remain, per-
Imps until January, ah it result, the cere
mony has been postponed until that
month.
Miss Wunderle Is loath to set the exact
dnte for the wedding, lu view of Uncle
Sam's behavior.
To offset the gloomy view which nil con
cerned are taking of the situation, news
lias come, however, that the hrldegioom-to-be,
upon his arrival in this country In
January, will come Into possession f nn
estate, left hy a wealthy relative in Pitts
burgh, which will more than make up for
the delayed marriage ceremony,

BOTH HOUSES AFFECTED
I WASIIINCTON, Hoc. ;.-Foiir days be
fore the opening of Congress the init-
, lorlty putty Is facing the most serious
split In Us ranks since thn days ot
' drover Cleveland. It hns arisen over a
light between the so-called conservative
and radical elements, and affects both
branches. The team work which marked
I the movements of the Democratic iiut
J'Tity since the Wilson Administration
came Into power has entirely disappeared.
I Uory effort Is being mnde by the
lenders to forco a compromise. With thn
nemocr.itlc majority In tlio House nar
rowed down almost to the dlsappeailng
mark a very few disgruntled members
there could effectively block legislation.
And tho opponents of enormous expend!
tur'-s for military purposes In that body,
led by Majority Lender Kltcliln, were to
day rallying to their aid the rivers and
harbors and public buildings adherents
In an effort to block the preparedness
program right from the start.
Meanwhile, the Democratic majority in
the Senate, tnibslantlally Increased, was
close lo the rocks. The light to limit
ilebato lias .stirred the older inembein
greatly. Today they threaten to vole
with the ltcpubllcans and thus aid in
pievenlhig any organization of the upper
house under cloture rules.
A second cause or serious difference
was the light ngainwt tho re-election of
Senator Clarke, of Arkansas, as ptesident
pro tern., led hy Senators Iteed. of Mis
souri, nnd Chilton, of West Virglnln.
They have selected Senator I'omerene, of
:
Ohio, as their sland.iid-beaier. and to
ed only live additional votes to
the roll Is called In tho con
ference rrldny morning.
The cJotiue proposition will be taken
up this 'ifternnun when the conference
leconvenes. Senator Owen reported the
amendment which would permit any
member who believes filibuster wns in
progress to force n vote ending debate
within ts hours. The elder members op
posed this ru'.e. on the uround that n.
bare mnjorlty could override all opposition
i to drastic legislation, and Insisted that.
If any such rule Is to be adopted, n lo
1 thirds vote should be made necessary.
I With Speaker Clark here, the woik of

Dr. Moses Stenrn, "Lib. Sun Lnw" aj. 't
vocnle, whose Invitation to nccompny'W
Hie Henry Ford party on Its peacemak '
lug excursion wns rescinded, conferred -1
tills nflernnon with n lawyer. At th V
conclusion nt the conrcrenee he declared
no nnu n prima mcip case nnd wouM
enter suit ngnlnst the millionaire peace
maker If lie did not receive the nam! ,i
nltco Hint his Invitation held good. .-,
The doctor's notion wns due to a telv ,
gram ho received enrly today from Lewli .
P. Loehner, Mr. Ford's secretary, who..
Informal him that ho had not really been
Invited, ,
An the "doc" received his telegraph!
Invitation direct from Mr. Ford, ho g. . ,
norecl Mr, Lochner and sent the following. 4!
messngo lo Mr. Ford this afternoon:
Philadelphia, December J, ISIS, ...
Mr. Henry Ford,
Hotel Hlltmore, New Tork City, ,
I was somewhat surprised to recelv - ,'
n telegram from Louis P. Lochner, ,.
your secretary, staling that the In. -i
vltntlnn which
you sent mo by wire S
had been withdrawn.
As I wns In
structeii ny you to obtain my pass
port, which I have done, and nlao
made, other preparations. 1 bcllev
there must he some mistake. Picas
nnswer Immediately.
MOSES STEAFIN.
"I will give him until r. o'clock thli
afternoon." the Doctor said, "and should
not iccelve a reply I will enter suit
ngnlnst Mr. Ford Immediately. I think
Mr. Ford himself Is all ilnht, but ho II
surrounded by too many advisers."
Tho "doc" wants to know why ho v
win; Instructed to get n pussport If ho
w.-m not Invited. And If the Fold party ''I
Intended to luivo .some fun at bis expense "!
no mt'inaies mat nu win return the com
pllment.
In view of the text or his Invitation,
tho "doc" contends there could be no pos. -;
slblu misconstruction in u-.e matter, "i e
understand the English language probably,,,
as well as any member of the party," ho
sniu luuny. ,,
Ho look two or three tilps around lib
npaitment, ns If, to collect his thoughts. ,
Then, stopping abruptly, he added: "If f
these Instructions to me to get my p.153- '
port Immediately and tho dellmte details"'
about arrangements do not constitute an
Invitation, I would like to know what i
this Is.
And the doctor viewed the falling snow.
Ho pointed out In the message where he
wns reassured hy Mr. Ford that the Oacar ,.
II would positively sail. It looks as
though they wanted to be posl'lve that
I'd come, the doctor added. Mr Font
nlso assured me that further partb-ulars
would be sent later. -
"I do not propose to be used ns a foot-
ball by .Mr. Ford or bis secretnrj." said .
the doctor, and It Is poss tile that theyj
will Mind an opportunity to bring nboutj
pence here befoio they sail for for'lsn '-f
shores. tt
Doctor Kteiirn Is still going ahead w1th'.JJ
his piepurallons nud Intends going to
