Windmill Plant
The Dauphin County Democratic
League burst into the political arena
last night as the latest protest against
bossism in the Democracy of Pennsyl
vania and created consternation in the
ranks of the McCormick followers by
a ringing endorsement of his rival for
the Democratic nomination for gover
nor, Michael J. Ryan. The organiza
tion is said to be the prelude to the
opening of headquarters for Ryan in
tills city and the forerunner of a
movement to have the Philadelphian
come to make a speech in the home
city of his rival.
The meeting was held in the Bolton
House and the machine Democrats
did not become aware of it until it
nas in full swing and it was too late
TO "plant" someone in the sessions.
McCormick men to-day displayed con
siderable irritation in talking about
the league, taking It as an effort to
belittle the former mayor of Harris
burg in his native city, but the more
even tempered among them jeered at
the organization, saying that if the
men active in promoting it were not
more successful in getting results with
funds and organization at their com
mand than they were on a certain
delegate election day "not so many
years ago, the league would not
amount to much.
Means Business, They Say
Men Identified with the league an
nounced last night and to-day that
many names were being enrolled as
members and that the great interest
being shown in the new organization
n'ae what was making the McCormick
men bite themselves. One man said,
"I think the formation of this or
ganization with the active Democrats
In it, pretty effectually disproves the
«'laim of the noisy machinists that
Ryan has no footing here. Unless 1
miss my guess the young man will
have a tussle in his home city," An
other said: "This organization is to
be.a protest against Democratic boss
ism at its fountain head. It means
business."
The meeting was held in the his
toric old Democratic hotel, the Bol
ton, and Alderman George D. Her
bert, of the Eleventh ward, who is a
Democrat who would get pen paraly
sis If he tried to vote for a Republl-I
can, presided. Then, very much to
the subsequent pain of the machine
men the following temporary officers
were elected: President, A. W. Hart
man: secretary, George M. Deiker;
treasurer, ex-City Chairman Christian
Nauss.
Democratic Regular?
Among the names of those form
ing the membership are B. F. Meyers,
ex-Mayor John A. Fritchey, Dr. C.
Albert Fritchey, national delegate to
the Baltimore convention; Milton H.
Plank, candidate for Congress; Milton
G. Robinson, of the railroad train
men's legislative committee; William
K. Meyers, former division chairman,
and former County Commissioner Wil
liam W. Wallower, and a lot of others.
The following resolution indorsing j
Michael J. Ryan for governor was'
adopted unanimously:
"The signs are auspicious for Dem
•fratic victory in Pennsylvania. Irre
concilable differences among the Re
publicans make the future of that
party hopeless. The failure of the
Roosevelt party to meet the require
ments of the times offers no remedy
from that source. These are the
greater reasons why Democrats shou'd
select their best man to lead to the
victory that is plainly In view.
"We recognize in Michael J. Rvan
Rn ideal leader in this emergency.

' New Jersey Man Asked Wilson to
Drop His Name, But Was
Met With Refusal
By Associated Press
Washington, D. C., April 4.—lnter
| est in legislation on the Senate side of
i the Capitol lagged to-day while sena
! tors discussed the attitude of nine of
their number who are in open re-
I volt against meetings behind closed
I doors except for consideration of for
| eign relations. The revolt, led by
Senator LaFollette, came last night
during a heated executive session In
which the Senate by a vote of 36 to
27 confirmed the nomination of Win
thrc M. Daniels as a member of th<j
Interstate Commerce Commission.
With Senators LaFollette, Cummins,
Kenyon, Norris, Bristow, Clapp, Jones,
Gronna and Poindexter promising to
talk publicly and freely about all do
mestic matters considered in executive
session in future, it was conceded that
virtually nothing could be accom
plished by closing the Senate's doors
to the public and the press. There i
was much speculation as to whether
the senators would hold to their posl- I
tion, and whether an effort to ma-1
terially alter the rules would result.
It was understood that no one con
templated an attempt to have the
senators disciplined for violating the
rules of secrecy.
Daniels Closes Contest
The confirmation of Mr. Daniels
closed a contest that had occupied , the
Senate for four days and which was
marked by one of the bitterest de
bates ever heard in the upper house
of Congress. Opponents of confirma
tion objected to Mr. Daniels' views on
the valuation of public utility prop
erty as demonstrated in the decision
of the New Jersey Public Utility
mission of which he was chairman, in
the Passaic gas rate case. They claim
ed that the gas company's property
warf over-valued and that a man,
whose ideas led him to join in such a
decision should not be placed upon
the Interstate Commerce Commission
particularly at this time when the
commission is beginning a valuation
of the country's railroads.
Confirmation of Daniels, after the:
notable three days' Senate fight, was,
followed to-day by the revelation that
Mr. Daniels asked President Wilson;
to withdraw his name and thus stop |
the contest, which ho believed to be >
embarrassing the President, and that]
Mr. Wilson refused.
BATHS FOR LEGISLATORS

and as the marchers swung onward
they lifted their voices together in

SOCIETY REIDY FOR
BIG EASTER FESTIVAL
Distinguished New York Singers
Will Feature Production of
"Elijah"
J. FRED WOLLE LEADER
One of America's Foremost Direc
tors Admirably Fills Place of
Dr. Gilchrist
Distinguished New York singers will
feature the Easter music festival of
the Harrisburg Choral Society in the
Majestic Theater April 14, when Men
delssohn's oratorio, "Elijah" will be
produced. Those who will appear In
this event include Miss Marie Stod
dart, soprano; Miss Brenda Macrae,
contralto; Roy Williams Steele, tenor;
and James Stanley, baritone.
The Russian symphony orchestra
which will play for the production of
"Elijah" in the evening, in the after
noon of the same day will appear in
a symphony concert. The afternoon
program will be further augmented
by the appearance of Bernard Alt
schuler, violincelllst.
In thus arranging for a supptuous
musical offering the choral society is
celebrating the nineteenth year of its
existence. The society was organized
in January, 1895, and has continued
as Harrisburg's leading musical or
ganization since that time. For many
years the late Rev. Dr. George S.
Chambers, pastor of Pine Street Pres
byterian Church, was its able and
energetic president. To him in large
measure the people of Harrisburg
owe the existence of the Choral So
ciety. He organized it, laid out the
scope of its work and, with the aid
of many who are still helping to carry
on its work, secured the man who for
eighteen years was its able conductor,
Dr. W. W. Gilchrist, of Philadelphia,
Until he left the city, David E. Crozier,
now of Germantown, was the accom
panist.
Wolle Gilchrist's Successor
Dr. Gilchrist was annually elected
the society's conductor, until this year,
when on account of a nervous break
down he had to give up the work.
In looking about for a conductor who
could size up to Dr. Gilchrist's ability
;and hold the organization together.
I the society decided upon and elected
jas its conductor Dr. J. Fred Wolle, of
| Bethlehem. Dr. Wolle is known over
jail America as a most competent mu
sician and conductor, but he has prob
jably gained his greatest renown as
conductor of the famous Bach Festi
j val Choir of Bethlehem to hear which
I people travel from all over the United
j States and even from abroad. Dr.
Wolle is a man of most pleasing and
attractive personality and his enthu-
I siasm and energy are contagious.
| Tickets can be had from any mem
j tier of the society, at the Sigler's mu
i sic store, 30 North Second street, and
the Central book store, 329 Market
i street.

Engagement
\HUERTA WON'T ADM
TORREON HAS FALLEN
Escape of Torreon Force Is
Problematical; Rifles and
Machine Guns Arrive
By Associated Puss
Juarez, Mex., April 4. —General Vil
la left Torreon yesterday afternoon to
take charge of his troops at San Per
ro where they are reported to have
fought an engagement with the fed
erals who evacuated Torreon Thurs
day. This information was given out
officially last night and it was added'
that the rebels were attempting an
enveloping movement It was said
that the battle was continnlng.
Mexico City, April 4.—The federal
government still obstinately denied to
day the capture of Torreon by the
rebels. It was assumed in many quar
ters, however, that General Huerta
and his ministers were not In Ignor
ance of the fate of that city.
It was suggested that the withhold
ing of the news from the public waa
based on psychological rather than on
military grounds. It was pointed out
by serious-minded people here that
the temperairent of the Mexican
populace was such that news of a dis
aster like the fall of Torreon might
easily rtart an avalanche of public
opinion against the administration
which would thus find Itself seriously
embarrassed at a most critical mo
ment of its career.

An Experiment For
Dealers
Nothing like proving things for
yourself, Mr. Dealer.
Suppose you determine for
! yourself whether it really pays
1 to push goods that are advertised
in your home newspapers
Take an equal number of ad
vertised goods and of goods
which are not advertised and
display them on the counters.
Do nothing to push one
against the other, but keep care
-1 ful note of the sales and the In
quiries.
I See If you do not find that the
largest percentage of calls is
for the articles with which the
newspaper readers of your town
are familiar.
Once you have proved this to
your own satisfaction, no one
will have to urge you to co-op
erate with the manufacturers
who are helping you to make
customers for your store.
The Bureau of Advertising,
American Newspaper Publishers
Association, World Building.
New York, will be glad to hear
from maufacturers and distribut
ers interested In newspaper ad
vertising.
