Prank M. Waring, soloist and chor
ister is assisting the Rev. John H.
Daugherty, the pastor, in revival work
in the Ridge Avenue Methodist Episco
pal Church, singing each night and
leading the large chorus choir.
Mr. Waring has an excellent voice
and his solo, work is very pleasing. As
a chorister lie has few superiors in
this city. He believes that revival
singing should be dignified and spirit

and humorous remarks to attract at

Mr. Waring is really a business man
and could employ all his energies in
that direction, but he chose to use his
musical talents for the salvation of
souls. He gives considerable of his
time to this work, and at' a financial
loss to himself.
Mr. Waring will sing to-night and
lead the chorus choir In the Ridge

preach on "The Unpardonable Sin."

M. Clyde Kelly, the enfant terrible of
the Progressives who insists on run
ning as a candidate for Governor.
Kelly is being boomed by a select
of Allegheny countians and by
men from Lancaster and a few other
places, but the elder statesmen shake
their heads at the pranks of the boy,
as they term him, and will endeavor
to admonish him to accept second
place on the ticket.
When the council meets it is fhe
plan to call upon the leaders to tell
iri an Impersonal manner .lust how
they find sentiment and this is ex
pected to present such a mass of sen
timent for as the candidate that
Kelly will be forced to lie down. If he
does not abandon his aspirations he
will be told that he can make his
tight alone and that the plain people
are for Lewis and Plnchot. Then Lex
N. Mitchell, of Punxsutawney, the
chairman of the conference, will be
put forward for Lieutenant-Governor.
The rest of the ticket will be Major
I. B. Brown, of Corry, for Secretary
of Internal Affairs, and possibly
ex-Judge James M. Galbreßth, of But

nonpartisan ballot for Supreme Judge.
Just who will be boomed for the Su

day.
Wilhelm a Possibility
The coming of William Wilhelm, of
Pottsville, who started the fuss against
the Flinn-V'an Valkenburg domination
at the conference, was awaited with
some anxiety, but Wilhelm appeared
mild when he walked in at noon and
asked what was doing. Prominent
Bull Moosers say that Wilhelm will
not fight Lewis, but he is an uncertain
quantity and may start something.
State Chairman A. Nevin Detrich
said that the conference was to hear
reports on sentiment, not to draft bills,
and denied that it was the intention
to back track on the liquor issue. The
officers of the conference, members of
legislative and executive committees,
chairmen of groups and leaders gen
erally are the constituents of the con
ference, according to Detrich.
Kelly Meek as » Lamb
The conference was started as soon
as William Fllnn arrived and Con
gressman Kelly went into the meet
ing as meek as a lamb. In addition
to Kelly, there were present Con
gressmen Rupley./Lewis, Walters and
Hulings. Lewis who was talked of
for Lieutenant Governor did not seem
to be much impressed with any
chances for it. The idea prevails that
it will be a western man for second
place.
Wilhelm did not manifest any signs
of a disturbance and it was rumored
that he might be given favorable men
tion for the Superior Court nomina
tion.
Dean Lewis and. Pinchot were the
center of an admiring group for half
an hour before the conference. Pin
chot will remain over night to at

Conservation Commission to-morrow.
Flinn refused to talk about the
Situation, saying those at the confer

Were all talking Lewis.
State Treasurer Young is said to
have told friends he did not care to

Minister of Finance
Will Return to Mexico
Paris, Feb. 5. —Adolfo De ha Lama,
who in January resigned his position
as Mexican Minister of Finance as a
protest against Provisional President
Huerta's decree suspending the pay
ment of interest on the Mexican na
tional debt, decided to-day to return
to Mexico to Serve again as Minister
of Finance. He will leave Paris for
New York, on February 11, accompa
nied by Salvador Echegaray, an offi

ment.
Provisional President Huerta, after
De La Lama's resignation, sent him a
long friendly cablegram expressing his
confidence and reliance upon Senor
De La Lama and urging him to con
tinue as Minister Finance.
Senora De La Lama with her five
sons will remain at Lausanne, Switzer
land, where two of the boys arc at
school.
The interest due in April on the
Mexican debt is said to be already in
hand. It amounts to $750,000. Senor
De La Lama has also begun negotia

July interest payments.

PROPERTY OWNERS
TO PITfOB PR
[Continued From First Page]
of paving the full width of Front
street above Maclay may cause some
surprise In view of the recent decision
of President Judge Kunkel in the
WhitehaJl street case. In that instance
the court held that the abutting prop
erty owners were liable for the paving
to the middle of the highway only.
The fact that Reservoir Park extended
along the opposite side, the courtheld,
placed the park side of the street in
the nonassessable class because it
abutted on city or public property.
The residents of Front street above
Maclay took the same view and fig
ured that they would be liable for the
cost of but half of the paving. Council
after a conference with City Solicitor
Seitz held differently and decided to
make the assessments, and, if nedes
sary, to take the matter into court for
a final settlement. The city's conten
tion Is that the street was opened to
low water mark and that therefore
the abutting property owner is liable
for the full width because there is no
other owner on the other side.
Iti Front street below Maclay a
different situation exists.
Between Maclay and Kelkcr
With a few exceptions the abutting
property owners have failed to even
give the city the use of the land front
ing upon their property on the west
ern side of the street for park pur
poses.
Now the cost of the paving assess
ment is to be charged against the
abutting property owners "or the city
of Harrisburg" pending the settling of
the whole Question. The city's position
in this phase of the problem is that
the property on the west side of the
street is really still owned by the
abutting property owncr<—that he
never gave it to the city in fee simple,
but merely for "park purposes." In
effect this is like a lease. Basing its
contention on that ground, the city
feels it may charge for the full width
paving until the properties on the
western side of the street are given
over to the city outright.
At any rate the abutting property
owners will be on the defensive when
the levy of the assessment is made,
and if the accounts aren't squared,
liens will be tiled—and the city will
proceed to take the property in issue.
In only one instance. can the city
hardly proceed. This is Henry Schude
madge, who paid for the paving for
the full width of the street.

can be done, the conference of the
councllmen to decide on the appoint
ments—reappointees and new ap
pointees—will probably be held before
Tuesday's meeting.
The new plan that was talked of to
day is Intended only to give those city
office holders who are to lose their
Jobs a little more time to look about
for another one.
Time Will Not Be Cliaiigeil
The time upon which the change
becomes effective will not be changed.
Under the present circumstances, how
ever, the resolution cannot be passed
until next Tuesday's meeting, Feb
ruary 10. The new appointments, con
sequently, could not be presented, un
der the original plan, until the fol
lowing Tuesday, February 17. Should,
under the rules of Council, the ap
pointments lie over a week. Council
therefore would not act finally on
them until the following week, Feb
ruary 24.
And on March 1. Just a week later,
the blow would fall. *
"Of course," said one city official
to-day, "by that time those who are to
go would know pretty nearly what
was going to happen anyway. Still,
they would know definitely under this
new plan suggested. And the suspense
would be over. However, aa I under
stand, this Is only a suggestion, and
f don't know whether It will be favor
ably considered or not."
In municipal circles and wherever
Mayor Royal's bitter partisanship is
understood his criticism of his Repub
lican colleagues in City Council for
their support of the resolution to re
organize the municipal forces without
further delay Is exciting nothing but
ridicule. He was quoted yesterday as
having made this statement:
"The resolution is directed
against the Police department,
attempting to run that depart
ment over which they have no
control. It is done In this way
to overcome criticism for the way
they have acted in regard to the
police, and they have been sub
jected to a great deal of criticism
too. It is manifestly unfair—this
attempt to place men In the de
partment over which I am the
head."
This statement caused considerable
comment to-day among those who are
tn miliar with the provisions of the
('lark act creating the commission
form of government. They call atten
tion to this paragraph in section ti of
the law:
"The Council may also designate
from the force the chief and other
officers, who shall l>e subject to the
direction and control of the Council,
and shall serve as such officers until
their successors be duly designated
and qualified."
This paragraph is Interpreted as an
effective answer to Mayor Royal's
complaint that he is the boss of the
Police Department and the Repub
licans are doing things to him.
