"So confident, are we that business
will improve," said Mr. Beardsley,
"that we will soon open a factory in
Newark. X. J., twice the capacity of
our New York factory. In Newark we
will have a siding along the Pennsyl

goods into this State in carload lots.
"Under the management of William

the Pennsylvania division, our business
has increased so greatly in Pennsyl
vania that we had to do something to
increase our facilities." went on Mr.
Beardsley. "From present indications
our volume of Pennsylvania business
will become much larger during the
ensuing year.

A Brumbaugh Kuinor
During the morning a rumor fot
around that Dr. Brumbaugh was com
ing to the city to take a hand for the
selection of Ambler, but no one
would stand sponsor for it, although
it was admitted about the Ambler
headquarters that if It beearnt? neces
sary the Governor-elect probably
would drop in, but emphasis was
placed on the point that it was not
necessary and would not be. Soino
of the rivals of Ambler said they
would like to see the Doctor and talk
it over.
"T have a good chance and I don't
propose to be bowled out," said Mr.
Baldwin, "if the Doctor comes I will
be glad to sen him."
Mr. Williams, who has been asked
to present a local option bill and who
was active for civil service and con
servation legislation last session, said
that he was a candidate and proposed
to remain.
Mr. Habgood remarked that he
stood by his statement and so did Mr.
Wilson.
Dauphin Men For Ambler
Messrs. Wlldman, Swartz, Nissley
and Young, the four Dauphin county
Republican members, visited the
headquarters of the candidates and,
then went in and gave Mr.- Ambler
assurance that they would be for him
In the caucus. Other candidates said
they did not expect Dauphin support.
Tt is said that Cumberland and Leb
anon members wilt he for Ambler, but
there is no statement on their stand.
Mr. Ambler was l»usv meeting mem
bers of the House and was in a very
cheerful frame of mind. Mr. Baldwin
was inclined to be belloclse, but said
that lie had plenty of friends who
were busy.

recommended to council by Burgess
Fred Wltffield In his annual report this
morning. The appointment of an ad
ditional patrolman to fill the existing
vacancy in the force will also be
urged.
Burgess Wig; field's recommendation •
is on« of the most far-reaching and
progressive plans for securing' the in
creased police protection demanded by ,
the taxpayers recently .
The. burgess explains in his report
that three patrolmen cover the entire
town at night und that during the past •
year there lias been an average of one j
beat unpatrolled for 280 days. lie
further explains that there are great
demands on the force for special police j
protection at oelebrattuns of various
kinds and that wfien this protection is
granted the entire borough is often 1
without any patrolmen on their regu-j
lar beats.
While he will make no recomnien- '
dation as to the pay these special
officers would receive, it is understood
that they would be paid only when
actually,on duty.

START EVANGELISTIC CAMPAIGN
The Rev. C. E. Hilles, who will con
duct a three weeks' evangelistic carn
paign in Highspire, delivered his first
sermon in the United Brethren
Church last evening. The church was
crowded.
R. P. HABGOOD
Candidate for Speaker of the House
peared to be disturbing: ft good many
Of the members elect unci they l'allod
to pet much to assuage' their anxiety
out. of the smiling Mr. Ambler or from
any of tlie other candidates for tlie
nomination. There were many whis
pered conferences in the headquarter*,
which, by tiie way, were interestingly
located. Air. Baldwin was In the room
whence the Alter light was directed
two years ago and Mr. Wilson had the
headquarters of Senator Penrose in
bygone days. ' Mr. Ambler and Mr.
Williams had rooms used by .John K.
K. Scott when he made his light last
session and Mr. Habg-tod was in a
suite close to tho Commonwealth small j
parlor where so many tilings have
happened.
One of the stories was that thei
allies, as the. anti-Ambler men wi re
culled, would issue a defiance and that
they would Insist on the naming of a
committee on committees to select the
I>l;:cos. as was done la.st year to clip
the wings of Speaker Alter and which !
was much appreciated by him, inci
dentally. No.one seemed to want to
father the story and the Ambler peo
ple laughed, at it.
Ais to Appropriations
Another story was that the Alle
j glien.v members, who were belligerent
< lust night over Ambler, would be for
I hi.ll provided they got the chairman
| ships of appropriations, health and I
sanitation and law and order. Lacka
wanna also appeared with a boom for
Fred C\ Ehrhardt. senior member of
the Republican side and of the appro
priations committee, for the appro
priation chairmanship, and friends of
E. R. Cox, of Philadelphia, were boom
ing him. All these and many more
were carried on the breenes.
Some of the anti-local option men
were inclined to be warlike because
Ambler is a local optionipt like Dr.
Brumbaugh, but they pulled in their
horns this afternoon. Alter was a
< local optlonfst and Williams is a pro
nounced advocate of local option.
State Chairman Crow, who got In
! last night, reasoned with Baldwin for
I a time to-day and saw many other
men of prominonce. Senator W. C.
