Is V. Grant Forrer. formerly super

his old job under Edward Z. Gross,
commissioner-elect
That report was revived in city
circles to-day following the attendance
by Mr. Gross at the special session of
Council yesterday. The jitney ordi
nance was whipped into shape and
Sir. Gross was there as the guest of
the councilmen. Mayor-elect E. S.

other occasions.
Commissioner-elect Gross declared
emphatically to-day that he had given
no thought as yet to the probable per- ]
sonnel of his department except the I
retention of Miss Anna Cubison as •
clerk. He has asked Miss Cubison to |
stay.
The fire chief's position is agitating
city circles some, too, and it is said
that Edward Halbert, present assist-'

missioner Gorgas, R. K. Splcer and
Fire Chief John C. Klndler are among]
those spoken of.
Snow or Rain Coming;
Wildwood Not Yet Safe
Skaters will have little chance of j
trying their steel on wildwood, ac- i
cording to the local weather man.
Snow or rain, with little change in
temperature, is expected to reach the

last until to-morrow. At present a
thin coating of Ice has formed on
Wildwood bake, but the City Park
Department does not think it safe.
Nearby streams and ponds with a
little rpore tha# a foot of water in
them have frozen over. The river is
not expected to close up at this point,
although it is moving slowly, and slush
ice is blocking at several places near
the bridges and along shore.

Folk
Dear old Santa Claus. the venerable
resident of the North Pole, who for
hundreds of years has been spreading
Christmas cheer among the boys and
girls of the world, made a preliminary
visit to Harrisburg early this morning
and in a big book which he carried
recorded the names of the good chil

towns.
Santa made a visit to the Harris
burg post office early to-day and lifted
a number of letters which were re
ceived during the past few days. As
he opened them one after another the
smile on his face broadened and then
he chuckled. "Some of these boys
and girls In Harrisburg asked for
queer things, but I guess I'll be able to
deliver all they want."
Suddenly the grand old man's face
changed. To a Telegraph reporter he
remarked: "A letter like this one is all

Yaqul Indians are now on the war

Militia Guard Now Has
Hopewell Situation in Hand
Hopewell. Ya.. Dec. 11. —That the
few stores remaining in Hopewell will
not be permitted 'to charge exorbitant
prices for provisions was made plain
yesterday when Major Bowles, com
manding the militia guard in the
burned district, conferred with Judge
Lawrence Perry, of the circuit court.
It was announced that any store
, charging more than the customary
prices for provisions would be seized
and operated by the militia.
Major Bowles said that he could
easily handle the situation with 100
men. One company from Newport
News was ordered back to its home
station last night and Major Bright
returned to Richmond, taking with
I him 170 troops from the three Rich
i mond companies. This leaves Major
Bowles with about 150 soldiers to
guard the burned district.!'
The Du Pont company and the Nor
folk and Western Railroad Company
offered their co-operation in the relief
movement. The railway's offer of free
i transportation to Petersburg to those
' without funds was accepted by hun
[ dreds. Chief of Police Cotton said
that the situation was well in hand.
gone to-morrow, while we have behind
us a string of unbrken success. Mr.
Holmes has been sought by more peo
ple than any other person on earth,
perhaps, and has created intense in
terest wherever he has appeared, and
by his ability as a past master in the
art of deception, sucessfully baffled
thousands of people for days and
days."
Mr. Holmes will make himself thor
oughly at home while in this city.
He will mingle freely with the people,
for he is a sociable fellow and comes
to Harrisburg purely and simply
for a good time.
He will call upon the businessmen,
talk to the police officers and tell
these gentlemen the exact time of his
visit, what he said to them, etc., and
under no circumstances will he make
a misstatement.
The money will be given to some
one before the man of mystery leaves
the city. Those are a few of the
things Sherlock Holmes, Jr., will do
while in this city, but there is no tell
ing all this eccentric gentleman will
do, and there is but. one way to find
out and that is by keeping close watch
on the Telegraph as this paper will
each day have a detailed story writ
ten by Sherlock Holmes, Jr., himself.

SPEECH CLOTHED
PEACE LONGING
Newspapers Express the Belief
That Behind Talk Is Desire
to End the War
By Associated Press
Paris, Dec. 11, 5 A. M.—Paris news
papers express the opinion that behind
the outspoken remarks of Dr. Von
Bethmann-Hollweg, German chan
cellor, in his address to the Reichstag,
may be perceived a desire for peace
"Germany's plan is evident," says
Gabriel Hanotaux, former foreign
minister in the Figaro. "While the
chancellor rattles the saber and pro
claims Germany's undiminished
strength and determination to win,
the Socialists are put up to feel the
ground for peace proposals through
their international connections in neu
tral countries."
The Matin asserts the chancellor,
notwithstanding his great ability has
failed to hide the truth concerning
Germany's straits.
In the Petit Journal, Stephen
Plchon, former foreign minister, draws
the conclusion from the chancellor's
speech that botti sides are equally de
termined to continue the struggle.
TAKE SAME ATTITUDE
London, Dec. 11. —The London
morning newspapers, continuing the
discussion editorially of the jfebate in
the German Reichstag Thursday,
mostly express the conviction that it
is a symptom of German longing for
I peace and that the fact that the

I is a concession to the popular feel

THIRD STEAMER
IS HELD UP BY
FRENCH CRUISER
San Juan From New Orleans to
Porto Rico Stopped and
Searched For Germans
TWO ARE TAKEN OFF
Vessel Flies American Flag;
Serious Consequences
May Follow
By slssocicttd Press
New York, Dec. 11, —The steamship
San Junn of the New York and Porto
Rico Dine was l:oM up and searched
by a French cruiser while the steamer
was bound from New Orleans to Kan
Juan, Porto Rico, according: to a mes
sage received by the line to-day. Two
second class passengers were removed.
The San Juan flies the American flag-
The San Juan is the third vessel of
this line to have been held up within
the last five days, the Coamo and
Carolina having been searched off
Porto Rico this week.
The passengers removed from the
San Juan were William Ounthevodt
and Fritsch Lothar, both said to bo
residents of New Orleans. The Sail
Juan left New Orleans Saturday and
arrived at San Juan to-day.
A message from the San Juan to
the local office did not give the exact
location where the steamer was
searched or the name of the French
cruiser, but it is believed the Sail
