PEKIN MYSTERIES 'STREET CUR MEN HEAR
ORPHEUM 811111 OF PUBLIC REGIUTII
jimmie, Why Don't You Kiss the
Pretty Little Lady ? Whole
Bill's a Corker
They make your eyes bulge: they
make you hold your breath: they make
you wonder how it's done—those Chi- !
nese magicians, jugglers, balancers, !
acrobats at the Orpheum this week.
Pekin Mysteries are mysteries in- ,
deed. Those Chinamen are about as :
" lever a set as have ever thrilled and 1
mystified a first niglit audience. Their :
magic is of a different sort; and so is:
their acrobatic and juggling. One of
the most pleasing things of the whole
act is the way those Orientals smile.
They seemed so pleased with the crowd
that the crowd couldn't have been dis
pleased with the performers had it
tried.
Possibly the act that ranks second
to the Pekin Mysteries this week is a
singing and dancing offering by Jim
mie Casson and Betty Bond.
Hut. Jimmie. why don't you kiss the
pretty little lady at the end of that
crooney love song?
Jimmie and Betty both have voices
of exquisite quality, both are good to
lbok upon, and both could have flirted
all evening without anybody's becom
ing anything but jealous.
A Bright Little Skit
One of the brightest little skits that
has been nt the Locust street vaude
ville house in weeks is "The Squarer."
featuring J. C. Nugent, who wrote the
sketch himself, and Julie York. Spar
kling repartee makes the piece most
entertaining.
Henry the Holland Dutch
comedian, with his prologues, epi
logues and fool acting, is just as amus
ing as ever. Cameron and Gaylord, in
ten minutes of tomfoolery, made you
laugh in spite of yourself. Xana, who
is billed as a dancer, is really a bare
back rider out of her realm. Twisto,
a lean, lank, limber soul, does many
new things in the contortion line.
There's not a dull act.

Emory R. Johnson Says Antago
nism Between People and
Companies Is Passing
The importance of public utility
companies giving the public a. fair
(leal and safeguarding the good will ot
| their pat'ons was emphasized by
C. 1.. 8. Tngley, of St. David's, presi
dent of the Pennsylvania Street Rail-
I way association, in his address open
ling the annual convention of the as
sociation here to-day. Practically
! every trolley line in the State was
Represented at the meeting.
Emory R. Johnson, public service
icommissioner, was the chief speaker,
;and in the course of his address said:
."The former antagonistic relationship
j between the electric railwav com
jpanies and the public is fortunately
j changing tfofr one of mutual under
standing. The obligations of the ser- ,
. vice companies to the public and the!
j duty of the public toward the com-'
J panics are coming to be clearly rec
ognized and to be defined more and
j more clearly by municipal ordinances
and State legislation." Dr. Johnson
urged that public officials and com
pany officials should do their utmost
Ito bring about a permanent basis of
mutual confidence. He said that pub
lic service companies can secure the
| confidence of the public "provided the
{companies adhere to methods of
i flnancierinf and management that
square with approved moral stand
ards: provided the companies keep the
; public fully and accurately informed
; regarding the affairs of the corpora
tions that serve the public, and pro
ivided that the service rendered is ade
quate and efficient."
Dr. Johnson said that good service
iis fundamental and all important as
, sential to the success of the, company
! and necessary to secure public ap
; provai. The welfare of the inunici
jpality and the electric railway coin-
I pany afe linked together and the
; State's larger interests demand that
jthe State shall supplement municipal
.regulation of public utilities. He said
)in closing that most public service
I companies do welcome intelligent pub-
I lie regulation. •

SCHWAB WILL NOT
! BUILD SUBMARINES
Steel Man Signifies Intention of
Following President Wil
son's Advice
Sferial to The Telegraph
Washington. D. <\, Dec. B.—Charles
jM. Schwab has definitely ileoideil that
! his lirni shall not huild submarines
j for uny belliKcrent country for de
livery during the war in Europe.
Definite announcement to this effect,
'coupled with the statement that Mr.
.Schwab had "submitted to the Presi
dent's views of the subject," was is
sued at the State |Department late yes
terday afternoon by Secretary Bryan.
Previous reports had been that the
submarines were to be delivered to a
European belligerent in parts only.
it was the first official confirmation
of reports that Mr. Schwab had ar
• ranged for the construction, presum
ably by the Fore River Shipbuilding
• 'ompany, of twenty submarines for
one of the European belligerents.
| Equally interesting, if not more im
portant. from an international point
of view, is the statement made by
Secretary Bryan at the same time that
President Wilson had instructed the
Secretary of State to inform Mr.
Schwab that his statements to officials
of the government "only confirmed the
President in the opinion previously
formed that the submarines should
not be built."
Carranza Is Reported
to Be Under Arrest For
Taking Sum of Money
El Paso. Texas. Dec. S.—A telegram

General Venustiano Carranza. first
chief of the Constitutionalists, had
been placed under arrest by Generals
Blanco and Gonzales in Vera Cruz on
the reported charse of taking a large
sum of money from the customs house
without authority. The sum is re
ported to be more than $50,000,000
and is said to have been sent to the
border by the first chief.
General Ornelas, 'the Villa com
mander at Juarez, announced to-day
that a strong force of Villa soldiers
soon would be sent against the troops
of General Jose Ynez Salazar, former
federal leader, who has started a new
revolution in Central Chihuahua.
To Erect Electric
Cross in Market Street
Before the end of the week a big
electrically lighted red cross will be

of the Square in observance of the
1914 Christmas seal sale. The cross,
which will be picked out with scores
of red-bulbed lights, will be raised by
the .Harrisburg l.ight and Power Com
pany. The same plan was followed
out last season and when the 1914 seal
campaign was inaugurated John Fox
Weiss, chairman of the general com
mittee, asked the utility company if
the same emblem could again be
erected.
Three days will be set apart es
pecially for the sale of the seals in the
public schools, December 16, 17 and
IS having befjn decided upon for the
purpose. Oh liecember 15 the Boy-
Scouts will serve as messengers to
carry the seals around to the different
buildings. Dr. C. R. Phillips, chair
man of the subcommittee on school
distribution, said that at least 60.000
will be put out in the schools this year.

ting ?570 for the Red Cross Christmas
seal fund.

COUNCIL TO CONSIDER
BUDGET THURSDAY
Skeleton Measure Will Likely Be
Presented at Next Week's
Session
City Council will begin the prepara
tion of the 191.1 budget ordinance at
a special meeting Thursday afternoon.
j The departmental estimates will be
.submitted and pruned as much as pos
sible and the figures will then be in
corporated in a skeleton measure to
be submitted on first reading at next
Tuesday's regular meeting.
Some idea of the expenditures of the
departments were given in Council
this afternoon, although the figures
are all subject to change. Commis
sioner M. Harvey Taylor, superintend
ent of parks and public property, said
his estimate for Ihe fire department
will be $40,196. Included in this will
be the $7,500 for a new firehouse for
the Royal Company. For parks $34.-
108.75 will be asked, including SI,OOO
for the salary of the city forester and
SIOO for equipment. Only $632 for
maintenance is asked for the new
lights. Commissioner Taylor also in
cludes in his budget the necessary ap
pjropriation for the stand lights along
the river wall.
Commissioner W. 11. Lynch, streets
and public improvements, could not
say what his budget would probably
total, although it is believjed that he
may ask for $117,000. practically
what would have been required for
the present year had twelve instead
of nine months' expenditures been
provided for.
Commissioner W. 1.. Gorgas. super
intendent of finance and accounts, has
not yet prepared his budget, but this
will run ahead of this year in view of
the fact, that interest and sinking
funds for twelve instead of nine
months must be provided. The Water
Department appropriation for 1915,
according to Commissioner H. E. Bow
man's tentative figures, will total
$122,236.83. For 1914 it was $138.-
700.98. The estimates for the health'
and sanitation bureau will be about
$11,930.
Mayor Want* More Cops
Mayor Royal's budget will total
$69,215. The Mayor among other
thinks asks for S3OO additional salary
for Col. Joseph B. Hutchison, chief
of police, making his salary SI,BOO.
The Mayor says he doesn't consider
the establishment of a detective bu
reau and captaincy necessary at this
time and doesn't recommend this. He
does ask for an increase in salary for
the detective who conducts the Bertil
lon bureau. Detective Joseph Ibach
is now in charge of the work and his
salary is S9O a month; the Mayor's
recommendation Is that this salary be
raised to SIOO. He asks for one addi
tional policeman, the traffic officer al
ready provided by Council, and five
more patrolmen if the city can afford
it. The Mayor also asks for SSOO for
the installation of a city scales in the
market houses and SI,OOO for an auto
mobile runabout for the sealer. About
$l4O is also asked for the framing of
the pictures of seventeen Mayors who
served the city since 1860.
City Clerk Miller's department asks
$4,634.50; the sealer of weights and
measures, $3,600, and the printing de
partment, $5,600. The law depart
ment wants $8,586.64, including dam
ages for the recent South Front street
park condemnation cases.
Council authorized the city solicitor
to file bonds to cover prospective
damages incident to the taking over
of unacquired park land from Kelker
street northward, so the treatment of
the river embankment may be pro
ceeded with.
The food inspection ordinance was
amended to revise the fixed rates for
different license fees.

WIRE TROUBLE FROM
STORM STILL FELT
Heavy Rains Broke Long Drought
and Puts End to Factory
Shutdowns
Storms in the east which paralyzed
telephone and telegraph business and
eliminated several Jersey coast towns
from communication with the outside
world are passing off the North At
lantic Coast.
Outside of wire trouble, llarrisburg
got off with about two inches of pre
cipitation. which Included snow and
sleet. Trains to and from Harrisburg
to-day were all on schedule time. Up
to late this afternoon wire trouble was
still reported. There was but one wire
for telephone service and the Western
Union Telegraph Company transacted
business with one wire and by relays
to various cities.
Gus Catherman, manager of the
Western Union, was of the opinion
that the trouble would all be over by
this evening.
Weather forecasts for Harrisburg
and vicinity to-day were favorable for
milder weather. Snow flurries are a
probability during the night, but no
further rain is in sight.
Philadelphia, Dec. B.—Although the
northeast gale which raged along the
Atlantic seaboard for three days
caused thousands of dollars' worth of
damage .the deluge of rain which ac
companied it has decisively broken the
long drought, which in some sections
of Eastern Pennsylvania, Southern
N«W Jersey and Delaware had become
serious.
In several counties of this state
streams and wells had dried up and
in many Instances it was necessary for
the farmers to haul water for their
stock from a distance, while in some
cases Water was brought In by the
railroads In tank cars.
Scores of mills and factories had
either shut down or were running on
part time owing to the shortage of
water and in the coal regions op
erations at many collieries had been
suspended for the same reason.
$75,000 Graft Fund For
Two U. S. Senators Is
Charge Made in Mexico
New York. Dec. B.—A dispatch to
the New York World from Mexico City
sent from the capital on December 2
by messenger to Galveston. Texas,
whence it was wired to this city, states
that correspondence and records found
in the Mexican national treasury after
Carranza and his troops lied the capi
tal indicate that Carranza paid $75,000
in gold to two United States senators,
unnamed, for their influence in bring
ing about the evacuation of Vera Cruz.
The books of the treasury contain
entries showing that this sum was paid
out for such purpose about a week be
fore November 23. when General
Funston led his forces out of Vera
Cruz by order of the War Department
at Washington.
Search revealed that the money had
been transmitted by Carranza's order
to Rafael Zubaran. chief of the Car
ranzista junta In Washington. Further
investigat. on developed that appar
ently Zubaran had informed Carranza
that it was necessary to employ finan
cial stimulus that sufficient pressure
should be put on President Wilson to
present him from receding from his
expressed determination to withdraw
the troops November 23.
It is doubted in Mexico City that the
money was ever paid to senators, as
alleged, although treasury employes
who were connected with the Car
i rana administration insist that the
money was cabled to Zubaran.

| "The Quality Store*' "^3
A Twenty years ago this store began business. Our aim from the AH
" beginning has been to serve the public conscientiously. To try in »||
& every instance to give the best values possible in return for the
" customer's money. It has never been a question with us how we MI
A could, best sell cheap merchandise, but how wo could sell good Ml
reliable goods at lower prices than our competitors. 11l
f We are glad to know that our ideals have been realized. We
▲ know that we have established a reputation for goods of quality Ml

Many people who were among our first customers are among our Ml
3£ most valued patrons to-day. Goods we sold years ago have proved HI
™ their worth with time and every sale has proved satisfactory jj
4 to the customer. 9U
We feel that we have proved that we are worthy of your confl- Jj
k dence. At this time when everybody desires to exchange the com

a that the presents exchanged should be good, or offense will be given t
▼ where compliment is intended. Ml
4 Ooods in our line make ideal presents. The gTeat difficulty for 11
those who are not expert is to distinguish the genuine from the fjj
A inferior. You must depend to a great extent on the reputation of Jj
the dealer. If you come to us you get not only what you intend to ■

War Results in Boom
For Shipping Industry
All Over Great Britain
By .Issoi-iatcd Press
London, Nov. 26 (Correspondence
of the Associated Press). —The war
has resulted in a boom for the shipping
industry of Great Britain, and no
where has this been felt more than
in London. The port of London has
never been busier, and a notice just
posted by the Association of Master
Lightermen appeals to ship owners
and manufacturers to do all in their
[power to secure the prompt discharge
of cargoes as a measure of relief for
the unusual congestion of traffic.
As for foodstuffs, the present re
serve stock is live times larger than
it was at this time last year. Of
grain there are 130,000 tons now afloat
for London. A consignment of 250,-
000 bags of flour, sent as a gift from
Canada several weeks ago, is still in
the dock warehouses, presumably lie
lug held as part of the reserve supply
for the troops.
The supply of meats and tea is not
as large as had been planned. The
supply of tea apparently was affected
by the activity of the German cruiser
Emden in the Far East. With this
menace removed heavy arrivals are
expected shortly. One full shipload
of 4,000 tons, which arrived Novem
ber 20, was the largest cargo of tea
ever sent here from China.
The shortage of "lumber, which was
noted during the early part of the
war, has been remedied by the ar
rival of vast quantities from the Baltic
and Archangel.
