CONFERENCES ON STATE'S AFFAIRS Various Boards and Commis sions Will Meet in Harris burg Next Week Important conferences on field day of State departments will be held here during the coming week in conjunc tion with the Welfare and Efficiency conference to lie inaugurated at the State Capitol on Tuesday under the .ioint auspices of the State government and the Engineers society. The Gov ernor will open the conference on Tuesday morning with an address on what the State is doing for betterment of living conditions and meetings wUI lie held for three days at which head's of departments, hoards and commis sions and prominent men will speak. During the, week there will be a «onferenee of all the game and fish wardens on their work and the for estrv forces will be brought in. The Public Service Commission will have its bureau chiefs meet and the min» inspectors will also be here. Tuesdav the State Board of Educa tion will meet to discuss normal school purchases. It is also expected to have a con ference of the Workmen's Compensa tion Board with the new references nnd the new Agricultural commission will have sittings. * Among the many men of State-wide and nation-wide celebrity, who will deliver addresses at the conference is Dr. J. T. Rothroek, of West Chester. An explorer of note, a botanist ot first class attainment, an engineer of ability, and a scholarly physician. Dr. Rothroek embodies the many-sided man. The subject of his address is •What Shall Pennsylvania Do With Its Waste I .and?" No man in the State is better qualified to speak on this subject. As the scientist who pre pared the first report on the forest < onditions of the State, as the first Commissioner of Forestry for Pennsyl vania. and later as a member of the Forestry Commission, he possesses unique and first-hand knowledge. Dr. Rothroek is widely known as the "Father of Pennsylvania Forestry and is unquestionably the original nnd pioneer conservationist. Anything he may have to tell the public about the treatment of the waste lands of Pennsylvania will be listened to. and we hope heeded. , The Pennsylvania Department or Forestry and the great State Forests of over a million acres of land are in a peculiar sense the product of his ef fort.: Thope in attendance at the conference are waiting with eagerness to hear his suggested solution of the vexing land problem. Tt is a matter of regret that every other Pennsyl vanian may not be able to attend the sessions. The messages which go out to the people from this Conference will be of lasting benefit. Baker Will Strive For South Sea Conquests Krwin G. Baker of Indianapolis, the .-antous transcontinental motorcycle W.-cord holder sailed from »an 1-ran cisco on the Sonoma November lb to spend the next five months ln Austra lia and the Islands of the South Pau " lie. riding an Indian motorcycle ana setting up new records for road runs. Chief among these runs probably will be a ride from end to endof Aus tralia. from Sidney to Melbourne, about 600 miles. The records now are held by the Douglas and Triumph, English machines, but when Baker starts on his run he will probably rule dav and night and put it through in the style that only one of his massive physique could. There is another run of 1.200 miles around Australia in which Baker proposes to get the rec- After Australia Baker will touch at Wellington, New Zealand, where there is a cross country run of 1,000 miles on the north island which he ts anx ious to tackle and when It is over with, he will make a run of 500 miles on the south island. On the way home he will put in at Honolulu and try out the Hawaiian roads. Among events in this vicinity a match race is likely between Baker and Lieutenant Hoffman of the United States Army, who is a cross country and endurance rider. Baker is due in this country again in April. His most recent performance ot note was the making of a new record from the Canadian to the Mexican line on the Pacific Coast, a distance of 1.655mi1es tin three days, nine hours "and 15 minutes. He will take with him the Indian Powerplus motor on which he made this record and one other Indian motor for emergencies. His time for 3,379 miles of the trans i-ontinental from San Diego to New Vork in 1914 was 11 days, 12 hours and 10 minutes. He has also won the Dpsert Derbv from El Paso to Phoe nix. Ariz., and is the winner of num . rotis other racing and endurance events in this country. Dodge Brothers Cars as Desert Stages Out in the Imperial Valley of Cali fornia a fleet of eighteen Dodge Brothers motor cars are used at stages. They are known as the "Pickwick stages," because of their starting at the Pickwick Theater. San Diego. Their route lies acress a portion of the California Desert and each car averages about 1,000 miles per week. '"--i' His makes of motor cars were tried out bv the Pickwick State Company, wnich operates the line. About six months ago the first Dodge Brothers ear was purchased and subjected to many tests on the route. The success was so striking that several more were nought and this number has beo« added to. until there are now eighteen in us' , and more are to be bought within a short time. According to Mr. Mayes, one of the iiroprietors of the company, the up keep on these cars has been remark ably light, and within a year he ex perts to operate D'odge Brothers cars only.

TWO GREAT CITIES IN TRAVELOGUE Famous Lecturer Will Show Scenes in London and Paris at Closing Show Frank Ft. Loberson. the world-wide traveler who has been taking .Harrls burg people to the most interesting places In the world via the picture route at the Chestnut Street Audi torium. closes his engagement to night. The travelogues have been rurviing for two weeks and a half, under auspices of the Harrisbui'i? Telegraph, and have afforded great pleasure and enjoyment to who have taken advantage of them. To-night's farewell subject is "Lon don and Paris"—a visit to two of the world's most fascinating cities, both of which have taken on a new interest since the beginning of the war. Mas sive old buildings, all of which have had their part in the making of Britain's history, the Tower of Lon don, Westminster Abbey and the Houses of Parliament will be visited on the screen. The Londoner at home his congested streets, his Strand, Piccadilly, his parks and his afliuse ment places will be shown. After whirling his tourists through Britain's great capital and pointing out the places which have been the objectives of the recent Zeppelin at tacks 011 the city, Roberson will jump the English Channel and finish his journey in the world's gayest and most interesting city—Paris—"Queen City of the Continent." The art galleries. l.atin Quarter, Montmartre, the cafes, boulevards and pleasure resorts which have made Paris the Mecca of tourists abroad will be pictured in the most realistic of colored views and motion pictures. The pictures in this travelogue have been . shown in no other. The Telegraph in bringing Sir. Ttoberson to Harrisburg had no mo tive in view but to provide a clean, wholesome and cheap amusement for its readers. Mr. Floberson Is recog nized as in the first ranks of his pro fession as a traveloguer, and his raanv trips through foreign lands give him a standing that otherwise could not be obtained. Tt was a good-will proposition entirely, and the Tele graph had no share in the receipts. It realized the value of the travelogues to the community and gave Its pub licity absolutely gratis that its readers might have the benefit of the reduced prices thus made possible. The engagement has been satisfac tory from all points of view. The people who saw the travelogues were impressed with the realism which surrounded the picture-tours, colored pictures and motion pictures were used in giving a realistic idea of the peoples of the various lands of the earth, their countries and worl;. These accompanied by a clear force ful talk by Mr. Roberson explaining the many things of interest and giv ing incidents of his own travels abroad heightened the interest which surrounded the pictures. The result is that Harrisburg people have been left with a wider knowledge of things generally. The admission prices which have prevailed during the engagement will continue to the end; 10 cents with the coupon on the first page of The Tele graph. or 25 cents for a seat in the reserved section, admission included. An added attraction at this evening's travelogue as at all others will be the music by Miss Sara Lemer and Charles Mackey on the violin and piano. Their program to-night will include French and British airs. Knight-Type Sleeve-Valve Motor to Be Demonstrated A most interesting feature in con nection with tlie Public Welfare and Engineering; Conference Is the lecture on the Knight type sleeve-valve motor to be delivered on Thursday evening, the 18th, in the lecture hall of the Engineers' Society Club. The motorists of Harrlsburg will be most particularly interested in this lec ture, for It will afford them an excel lent opportunity to become acquainted with the Knight type motor. The Knight type motor differs from the ordinary types now in use. In stead of clashing poppet valves, raised by blows from steel cams and seated by strong springs. It has sliding sleeve valves cyllndrically-shaped sleeves which glide silently up and down in a film of oil. between the cylinder wall and the piston. There are two of these sleeves in each cylinder, one working within the other. Each is raised and lowered by a connecting rod from an eccentric shaft. This eccentric shaft is operated from the crank shaft, the same as the camshaft in a poppet-valve motor. Ports In these sleeves register with each other and with the cylinder ports at proper Intervals, forming large and direct passages for intake and exhaust gases. « Simplicity of design is one of this motor's most outstanding character istics. There is a surprising absence of small parts. Springs, push rods, valve guides, adjusting nuts, and cams have been entirely eliminated. There Is no hammering. The action of all work ing parts is positive, smooth and reg ular. And because of this there is small chance for friction and wear 11. H. Mower, of The Willys-Overland Company. Toledo.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH A(*)USeM©Tr< "SADIE LOVE" IS SEEN AT ORPHEUM New Morosco Flay Is Cleverly Humorous and Has Excel lent Cast To attempt to write in detail what happened in "Sadie Love," the new Oliver Morosco lay, which has had but a few performances before mov ing into New York, is well-nigh im possible. Impossible because of a kaleidoscopic, giddy sequence of situ ations revolving around a half dozen people, some of whom are married, some of whom want to be married, and everyone who is married wanting a divorce so that they can marry some one else. "Sadie Love" is a comedy of three acts, the plot of which given less humor and a weaker cast would hard ly sustain a real interest through the length of the show. Thf play has a plot, alt hough it must be admitted a plot which gradually weakens. The cast which Mr. Morosco has provided does infinitely more to carry the piece i "across" than does the lines or the [story or the play. The beginning ot .the show promises well and lone looks forward to the coming acts with a genuine Interest. But gradually one realizes that nearly all of the effort has been expended in act one. That is, as far as the play is concerned. i One could not wish for a better cast. I Marjorie Kainbeau, as Sadie Love was las delightfully irresponsible as is pos sible. Married to one man she seeks to gain ground for a divorce by run ning away with another, only to find she loves number one, and when she has returned only to start the whole procedure all over again, Sadie Love keeps her audience in a constant state of knowing nothing at all. And Petro de Cordoba (whom, by the way, was the Torreador with Geraldine Farrar iin Carmen) as Prince Luigi Pallavi cini, the man whom Sadie Love mai'- I ried, played his part with all of the Italian fervor and impulse one could wish for. Me at least remained con stant to Sadie although the audience had many reasons to doubt it because of the positions in which he was placed. One other character, Comtesse De Mirabole. played by Batty Cattish, forms the triumvirate of importance in the.play. As a French woman Miss Callish was most pleasing and exact ing in her mannerisms. Playing the character who, even in a comedy, tries to steal another woman's husband has its drawbacks, but Miss Callish was equal in every way to her task. In every respect, the other charac ters tilled the parts assigned to them with a charm that could not help but win the audience. In fact the cast provided for "Sadie Love" is one which for balance, ability and person ality would be hard to duplicate. For "Sadie Love" it may be said, broadly speaking, that for one desiring entertainment of sparkling fun with a sprinkling of tensity that leaves one in a state of uncertainty, it can be highly endorsed. MAX ROBERTSON. THE STACK Miss Janis terminates her engage ment at the Cohan theater to-night. After a rest of a few weeks, she will rehearse one of the plays she has un der consideration with her manager, Mr. Dillingham. Kathleen Masdonell will be seen opposite Robert Hllltard in a new play, the author and title of which Cohan and Harris refuse to divulge. Grace George on Tuesday evening added the second play to her reper toire at the Playhouse in "The Liars." Miss George is playing repertoire this season, each play being given a month's performances.

COLLEGE \It;HT FOH "SADIE I.OVK" Oliver Morocco's romantic farce by Avery Hopwood opened a two days' en gagement last night at the Orpheum Theater to a fairly good house, and those who had the opportunity of wit nessing this new play were given a rent In th« way of tine acting by one of the tiest balanced casts ever seen here. " "Sadie !*ove" sparkles with spontaneous liumor and from the flrst act to the final curtain the piece is carried almost completely Ivy its bright lines and the superb acting of Miss Marjorie Ranibeau and Pedro de Cor doba. The football teams uf tfjp Get tysburg and Bucknell colleges will be the guests of the Orpheum management and the boxe* have been reserved for them.—Advertisement. "ME, HIM AND I" Of all the pretty girls that ever left Broadway to go on the road Hurtig and Seamon have enticed away the prettiest forty for their big musical comedy sensation, "Me, Him and I," which comes to the Orpheum next Sat urday, matinee and night. It would be a shame to let any but beauties wear such adorable costumes, and the re sult Is the stunningest chorus on the road. It Is a hard-working chorus, for there are no less than twentv musical numbers, and they are all 'big hits. "Me, Him and I" is Hurtig and Kea raon's pet show. The book is bv Wil lard Holcomb, the author of ' many Broadway succestes. and in fhls par ticular show he is said to have done his best work.—Advertisement. "THE RAVEN" AT THE COLO MA I. Henry B. Walthall, Essanay's emi nent player, and his splendid company, presenting "The Raven" at the Colo nial, is declared by critics to be the most fascinating phototragedy of the year, and Datrons of the Colonial are enjoying its presentation immensely. An artistic combination like the star ana players of this feature affords a treat that no admirer of delightful at tractions can afford to overlook. "The Raven" proved a tremendous card at the Colonial yesterday, and there are reasons to believe that this same suc cess will be duplicated to-day. Mr Walthall's natural!v emotional tem perament, coupled with his remarkable likeness to the famous poet, enhance the production wonderfully. He por trays this leading part, giving a mas terly Impersonation of Edgar Allen POP. moody poet of the early nineteenth century, whose life was a tragedv to the end.. The recent bubbling George Ade comedy called "Just Out of Col lege.' is scheduled to appear at the [Colonial on Monday and Tiiesduy.— Ad vertisement. , WHA T WOULD YOU HAD NINE SWEETHE Barney Williams Who Has That Many Right Here in Har- risburg, Wants to Know Barney Williams, a real man. right here in Harrisburg, not a story book hero, has nine sweethearts. Did you ever stop to think what you would do if you had nine sweethearts? Probably you haven't, for once in a \> hile when a fellow sets two on his bands at one time he is in hot enough water. But here's a case where a gay voung lover has nine. And what's he going to do? What would you do? Would you pick out the prettiest one and marry lier, shaking art the rest? Or would you marry the one with the most money and let the other eight be bridesmaids at your wedding? BUILDING RECORDS MAY BE SMASHED More Than Million and Quarter Dollars Put Into Houses So Far This Year Building operations for 1915 already represent an outlay in dollars and cents ol more than a million and a quarter and contractors and builders figure that Harrisburg will boast of a record twelve-month In the buildini; world if the present late Fall rush continues. \\ hile the present year is bound to be a record-breaker, it won't hold a candle to 1916 judging from present prospects, say the real estate dope stcrs. As a rule the year runs an average total outlay for building operations of a little more than a million dollars: the chances that the new year will be started away with a quarter of million dollar permit are mighty bright. No intimation as to when the Penn sylvania railroad will begin the erec tion of Its new freight stations south ot Mulberry street has been made public but it is generally expected that this job will be started early in 1916. And builders and contractors figure that the company will put from $200,000 to $250,000 into the struc tures. Many Small Homes Scores of smaller houses will be built during the early Spring, too, and many of the dwellings throughout the, city which are now in course of construction will he ready for occu pancy. This is especially true in the Thirteenth ward, in Bcllevue and at Riverside. In the Thirteenth ward, 11. A. Hippie will probably finish the erection of twenty modern, two-story bricks, half a dozen of which may be under roof before snow flies. The row which will till the north side ot Derry street between Twenty-sixth and Twenty-fifth streets will cost approxi mately $40,000. Contractors and real estate men are viewing with amazement, however, the remarkable showing of new buildings for 1915. Up to and including to-day's permits, the aggregate outlay amounts to $1,236,125. The total tor the first ten months of 1914 was $1,218,400. One of the biggest single permits of the month was issued to-day to Dr. B. T. Behney who expects to put up four two-story bricks in the south west corner of Emerald between Fourth and Orange streets. That per mit incidentally boosted the month's aggregate to date to $29,425. Bigger Ones Coming That total, by the way, means that the record of November a year ago will be mighty hard pushed for place as the total outlay for the Fall month was $34,000. Stevens Memorial church is figuring on beginning work on the $6,500 annex next month, too. When building operations of the last two months have been completed, Harrisburg can boast of some scores of mighty comfy new homes and some thing considerably* out of the ordinary in the way of modern garages, store and apartment houses and store houses. The biggest dwellinghouse operation attempted this Fall perhaps was the contract undertaken by Mr. Hippie. F. J. Heinley will spend $12,- 000 building half a dozen houses in Berryhlll street. W. C. Porr will put eight in Chestnut street at a cost of $16,000, and A. H. Shaffer will tinish his SIO,OOO storage garage in South Cameron street before the lirst of the new year. Mrs. Thaw Is Served With Divorce Papers By Associated Hrcss Pittsburgh, Nov. 13.—Evelyn Xes bit Thaw, passing through this city on a St. Louis train last night was serv ed with the papers in the divorce suit instituted in the local courts by Harry K.

The pa pers were pushed under the door, Deputy Sheriff Bradley, who had them in charge, saying the law had been complied with. Efforts had been made for two months to serve the di vorce papers on Mrs. Thaw. MAJESTIC VAUDEVILLE This is the day that "A Mile a Min ute" speeds away from the Majestic Theater, so vaudeville devotees who up to the present time have not viewed It, will want to hasten 'round to the Walnut street playhouse before it takes Its leave. And vaudeville patrons who saw the big feature during the first half of the week, will enjov it a second time, considering that an all new vaudeville bill is supporting it for the last half of the week.. "Barney Wil liams and Sweethearts," nine bright and breezy youthful players, present ing a musical comedy of novelty and originality, will be the stellar feature of the bill for the tirst half of next week. Chief of the bill for the last ill' will be Kins, the monkey with the human brain, who has .now fully re covered from his recent illness,' and who will be in town with his motor cycle and things just as he had been advertised several weeks ago.—Adver tisement.

Leonard Replogle Acquires Remaining 2-10,000 Shares For *14,600,000 Special to The Telegraph Philadelijhia, Nov. 13. —One of the largest stock deals ever transacted in this city was consummated yesterday when a syndicate headed by J. Leon ard Replogle purchased 2 40,000 share* of Cambria Steel Company stock front the Pennsylvania Company, a subsid iary of the Pennsylvania Railroad, at. a price estimated at $62.50 a share. It was said that the entire purchase price of $ 14,W00.000 would be paid In cash and that checks for $5,000,000 as lirst payment had already been deposited in various Philadelphia banks. This sale marks the complete sepa ration of the Pennsylvania Railroad from Cambria Steel. Considerable dramatic interest is at tached to Replogle's purchase because he started his business career as a water boy at tlie age of 11 in the Cam bria plant at Johnstown and rose from place to place until he became the president of the company. He resigned trom this post last March and sincu then he has been maneuvering so as to become a big stockholder in the com pany. it is understood that he ha* put his own fortune and all he could get from those whom he managed to interest in syndicate into the pool for the purchase of the shares. Although the full details of the ne gotiations preceding the sale are not known, it is understood that Replogle and Donner were rival bidders for the huge block of slock and that Replogle won only after many all-night and all day conferences with railroad official*, bankers and steel magnates. Mr. Keplogle. who is only 38 years old, by yesterday s purchase, becomes one of the youngest steel kings of the countrv. Neither Group llns Control The entrance of Replogle into the company as a big stockholder and no longer an employe creates what ap pears to be a rivalry of interests among the stockholders. Donner, who is supposed to be backed by Henry C. frick, controls the 1 12,000 shares ho recently purchased, besides whatever he had before, probably amounting in i shares. Replogle now has L 40.000 shares and probably some more he had bought in the open mar ket. There are 900.000 shares of Cam bria stock outstanding, so that neither* Donner nor Replogle has a majority. Much of the company's stock is heid by small inveslors, and thousands of shares have changed hands recently in the general rise of munitions se curities.
