Means a Loss in
Taxation
senting the as-
ward for the pro
posed Capitol Park extension zone.
J. Harry Stroup of the County
Commissioners' office to-day compiled
a. list of the properties affected and
totaled the amount of the assessed
valuation represented. These proper
ties were sold In 1913 and naturally
the taxes cannot be collected for the
present year.
In actual revenue the loss will not
amount to a very great deal on the
four mill basis. All told approxi
mately $671.60 will be lost to the
county coffers. The property values
range from SIOO to $5,000.
Argue Phone Tax Case. —•Ai|ument
was heard this morning by President
Kunkel on the equity proceed
ing instituted by the Cumberland
Valley Telephone Co. against the city
to restrain it from collecting taxes on
the Walnut street building since 1903.
The company bases its claim for ex
emption on the ground that the Su
preme Court recently held that the
telephone company wasn't liable for
the part of the building used by a
foreign corporation. The city con
tended that the case Is not one in point
In that the building was leased to
other companies. The court took the
papers. The amount involved is $3,-
213.03.
Collecting Paving Bills.—More than
a hundred bills representing $1,500 or
more have been sent out by Commis
sioner W. H. Lynch of the department
of streets and public improvements
to property owners for paving torn
up in front of their properties to
make the necessary pipe and plumb
ing connections.
Harrisburg Still the Mecca,—City
Clerk Joseph A. Schmidt, Allentown,
called upon City Clerk Miller to-day
and discussed a plan to establish a
bureau of information in the city
clerk's office at Allentown. Mr.
Schmidt said his plan was to have ar
rangements made whereby taxpayers
could call at the city clerk's office
any time for any sort of city informa
tion. He will go to Altoona before
returning home.
Permit to Bnlld "Movie."—Charles
D. Handshaw took out a building per
mit to-day to build a two-story mov
ing picture theater at the southwest
corner of Logan and Harris streets.
The theater will be placed on the lirst
floor and it is probable that the sec
ond floor will be used as a dance hall,
The structure will cost $7,000.
To Remodel "Daddy" Bell's Toy
Shop. —Among the building permits
Issued to-day was one to Clara Bell,
daughter of "Daddy" Bell, the old toy
shop keeper, who died several years
ago. and probably one of the most
widely known storekeepers among the
children of twenty-five years ago.
The house to be remodeled includes a
drug store and an adjoining store
room that had been used for the toy
shop.
To Build on Opera House Site? —
Once again there was brief, but real
excitement 'round about the old Grand
opera site at Third and Walnut streets
this morning when the Harrisburg
Advertising Company got official per
mission from the city "to build." The
excitement died away when it was
learned that the improvement was to
be only a bill board.
To Quit Cleaning Windows.—Feb
ruary 9 at 10 o'clock was fixed by
President Judge Kunkel to-day for a
hearing In the injunction proceeding
to restrain Max Gerstenblath from
cleaning windows as a business. The
action was brought by Hymen Kerd
man who claimed that he bought Max
out on May 9, 1911, for S3OO, but that
afterward despite the sales agreement
to the contrary, Max started up in the
window cleaning business himself.
Won't Raise Dock St. Bridge.—Un
less the Public Service Commission I
should object it Is Improbable that
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
will raise the grade of the roadway
of the new Dock street bridge over
the railroad tracks. A raise of sev
eral feet had been contemplated in
order to protect crews on passing
trains from bumping their heads
against the bridge. The change would
have involved thousands of dollars of
expense and the city insisted that the
company should do this. After a
conference with city officials the com
pany practically decided not to at
tempt the change unless ordered to.
Big Sewer Ordinance to Go in.—■
Within a week or two City Engineer
Cowden will present to council the

Dr. Aked's Utterances Are
Questioned by Churchmen
By Associated Press
San Francisco, Cal., Feb. 4. When
the Rev. Charles F. Aked, formerly
pastor of the Fifth Avenue Baptist
Church. New York, and friend of John
D. Rockefeller, takes the chair, Febru
ary 13 next, as president of the Church
Federation of San Francisco and ex
officio, as chairman of the executive
committee of the federation, he will be
called to rule on a communication from
the Presbyterian Ministers' Associa
tion, of the San Francisco Bay cities,
asking for his resignation because or
utterances from the pulpit of the First
Congregational Church last Sunday.
The Presbyterians may withdraw if Dr.
Aked does not.
Dr. Aked said he would not support
the doctrine of the miraculous concep
tion and birth of Christ. "My conclu
sion upon this question," he announced,
"is that the faith of Mark and John and
James and Paul is good enough for
me. It is good enough for any Chris
tlon. These men say nothing about
Jesus having come Into the world In a
miraculous way. I prefer to stand with
them.
"What do we mean by saying Ho was
dlvineT It is a question of quantity
and not of quality. There is divlnty In
us, but so much more in Him that I
prefer to call Him divine. Perhaps it
would be better to speak of the illvlne
nsss of man and the divinty of Christ."

Douglas and Nogales.
Whether every shipment of arms

been the case in exceptions to the joint

Raising of Embargo
on Arms by Wilson
Is Badly Received
Mexico City, Feb. 4.—The raising
of the embargo on arms by the United
States brought down columns of news
paper malediction on the head of
President Wilson to-day. The city,
however, gave no evidences of hos
tility toward American residents. The
patrols in the streets were doubled
during the night as a precaution, but
to-day there was no sign of appre
hension on the part of the Mexican
authorities that disorders would occur.
President Wilson's determination to
give both factions in Mexico liberty
to obtain war material from the
United States will not cause President

two evenings, and a large portion of
the congregations have stayed for the
after-meetings. The meetings open each
evening with a song service led by a

POLISHTIfINISTE
GIVES FINE RECITAL
Mme. Szumowska and Miss Mil
dred Faas Presented by the
Wednesday Club
One of the finest artists' concerts
Harrisburg has ever had was that of
last evening at Fahnestock Hall, the
Wednesday Club presenting Mme. An
toinette Szumowska, the celebrated
Polish pianlste, and Miss Mildred Faas
in recital. Mrs. Carl Willis Davis,
president of the club, introduced the
musicians amid hearty applause. The
stage settings were of palms and Kll
lurney roses.
Mme. Saumowka, who Is famous
abroad for her wonderful technique
and impersonations, was a student of
Paderewskl. Chopin is her favorite
composer and his works are those she
most delights in playing.
Mme. Szumowka won immediate
favor with her audience by her open
ing numbers, showing to the fullest
extent her remarkable technique and
musical conception. The etude by
Chopin was played magnificently, with
delicacy and charm and groat inter
pretative ability. The Liszt rhap
sodie, her closing number, most diffi
cult, though popular, was given with
a brilliancy and artistic Interpretation
that proved Mme. Szumowka a vir
tuoso of assured technique and a mu
sician of artistic insight. Graciously
responding to encores, she played
"The Music Box," by Liadoff, In
charming fashion. A large bouquet
of violets and a sheaf of Killarney
roses were given the pianlste from the
audience.
Notwithstanding all this, Mme. Szu
mowska declares that last evening's
audience was the coldest she ever ap
peared before, the lack of inspiration
being necessarily noticeable in some
numbers.
Miss Mildred Faas, of Philadelphia,
the soprano soloist, is known In New
England as favorably as in her home
city. She has studied abroad, spend
ing much time at Berlin. With a most
engaging personality, a fresh and
beautiful voice, flexible and covering
a wide range, Miss Faas was most
appealing to her adience. Her dra
matic ability was greatest in "Alone
Upon the Housetops" and the singular,
haunting cadences in "A Song of In
dia" was a delight, as the real eastern
question was brought forth. As an
encore she sang Cadman's "Land of
.he Sky Blue Water."
Each number of Miss Faas' was
well chosen and exceptionally well
sung and she was presented with a
sheaf of Klllarney roses.
Her accompanlist was Miss Ruth
Swope Conkling, of the Wednesday
Club.
While in the city Mme. Szumowksa
vas the guest of her former pupil,
Miss Laura R. Appel, at 1103 North
Second street. Miss Faas was the
?uest of Miss Olive Elizabeth Jamison
ind Mrs. Frank Bell.

hold-overs or those who will remain
lias been prepared, the Commissioners
say, and it is doubtful if those who
are to go, those who are to remain,
and who those are to be appointed
will be determined until after a con
ference after the passage of the reso
lution next Monday.
All the Councilmen are expected to
| attend the conference and thus it Is
hoped to thresh out the question of
appointments once and for all time,
and so get the city government under
way without a hitch.
Commissioners Lynch and Taylor
said to-day that they had no idea of
what were to be considered in tho
way of changes in the police or any
other departments. The qualifications
of the men will be judged by the com
mission, they said, und the question
of past service would, of course, figure
In the qualltlcatlons. "Efficiency will
be the kenote," said the two com
missioners.
The impression in city circles is that
the Board of Public Works' organ
ization will not be disturbed and that
few if any important changes will be
made in the Streets and Public Im
provements Department. The City
Engineer's office isnot effected by the
resolution. When asked if changes
were contemplated, as far as the
street sweeping gangs, Commissioner
Lynch said he doubted if the resolu
tion would apply there, as these men
were only hired for short periods of
time.
Fire Chief Kindler, it is said, may
be retained, although Commissioner
Taylor smilingly declined to be quoted
on the subject. He had a similar an
swer to a question as to V. Grant
Forrer's retention as park superin
tendent. Assistant Fire Chief Spicer
is to be effected by the change, how
ever. Colonel Joseph B. Hutchison is
not to be disturbed as Chief of Police,
and it is understood that the commis
sioners never even had such a thing in
mind.
1 Silence was golden to-day with
Mayor John K. Royal when asked if
he had anything to say regarding the
Lynch resolution. The Mayor will not
offer an ordinance for more patrol
, men at present.
FIXE DRIVER
Wallace Brothers, liverymen and
contractors for carrying the malls,
' were fined $lO by Alderman Muray, last
night, for driving a lamo horse. Samuel
Cunkle, Society for the Prevention of
i Cruelty to Aanlmals officer, brought the
charge. Ho said he took two long
whips from the driver.
