housekeeper's position attained the de
gree of permanency was somewhat In
volved, two other members of the
Shaffer household were enlisted to aid
in the explanation. Statistics show
iliat for three years following the
death of his first wife George W.
Shaffer has been deeply concerned
ever the welfare of his father, Charles
Ash ford Shaffer, who last week
achieved the distinction of - elebrating
his one hundred and third birthday,
and his son. Helbon Shaffer, who is
2". Mr. Shaffer has passed success
fully through about fifty Newton sum*
nif-rs and winters.
Several weeks ago Mr. Shaffer, the
widower, decided the absence of a
woman in the household could be en
dured no longer. Into his letter to the
Pennsylvania postmaster he poured all
of his desires, not neglecting to admit
tl»at were she over 20 and under 50,
marriage with the advertiser for a
housekeeper was not entirely out of
t he prospects.
The- postmaster posted the letter in
Jtls office. Mrs. Anna May Wright, a
widow. 23. of Easton. read it.
Promptly she packed her grip, arrived
sit Xewton. and equally as promptly
was accepted and installed as house
keeper.
Several times since' then rumors
dealt with the forthcoming marriage
or Mrs. Wright and George Shaffer.
I'.oth principals smiled at the gossip
and at each other,
This morning Helbon Shaffer
strolled nonchalantly to the breakfast
tpble. but passed up his usual seat at
ilie tar end of the table and assumed
a position beside the chair usually
occupied by his father, which was con
• M)icuous by his proximity to that
vsually occupied by the housekeeper.
"We're married,' Pop," calmly an
nounced the young man.
"Well, I'll be swanned," admitted
the eldest of the masculine trio.
I suppose you will," vouchsafed the
middle-aged father-in-law, defeated
suitor and pleased father.

Operators Deny Shortage

By Associated Press
New Vork. Dec. 30. Anthracite
operators to-day denied reports that
p shortage of anthracite coal e.xists,
or that wholesale prices have been
advanced recently. Their statement,
here, explained that any diffi
culty consumers may have ex
perienced in the last few weeks in
obtaining anthracite has been caused
entirely by the unprecedented freight
congestion on all trunk line railroads
in the cast.
The statement said:
"Numerous reports have been cir
culated that there is a shortage of
coal and that the price Is
r ■ leasing at various points. As a
matter of fact, there is plenty of
anthracite above ground to meet all
demands and the only difficulty is
that of distribution.

THURSDAY EVENING, HXRRtSBORG ffijftt TELEGRAPH DECEMBER 30,1915.
TELEGRAPH FOLK
ANNUAL DINNfeR
More Than Hundred Eat
Mightily of Turkey and
Other Good Things
The Telegraph Family enjoyed its
annual holiday dinner last evening in
Chestnut Street Hall as the guests of
S. J. Stack pole, presidsent of The Tele
graph Printing Company. Considerably
more than a hundred sat down to the
prettily decorated tables, thanked their
stars that the "grip" had passed them
by so that they could be there, ate
mightily of turkey and other good
things and passed resolutions of sym
pathy for sundry members of the
Family who were laid up with the
most popular malady of the season.
Time was when* a private dining
room of one of the hotels was amply
large enough for a Telegraph Family
gathering, but in recent years the num
bers have grown so rapidly that last
night It was found necessary to engage
the banquet room of Chestnut Street
Hall for the purpose.
Mr. Stackpole presided and sad
dened the hearts of the galley boys
and others who had prepared to outdo
CktUQMy Depew by announcing at the
very beginning of the dinner that there
would be no speechmaking. The menu
cards bore the city flag, the national
colors and a picture of the host. Com
petent judges present pronounced them
fully up to the high standard required
by the Telegraph Printing Company of
all commercial printing. Not that
there was doubt for a moment on that
score. My goodness, no! There never
is any doubt about the quality of Tele
graph printing.
The second page bore in fac simile
the following greeting from Mr. Stack
pole:
Harrisburg, Pa., Dec. 29. 1915.
To the Telegraph
Family—every one:
As we gather once more arounu
tiie Family board and exchange the
felicitations of the season, may we
all feel a strengthening of the ties
which bind us happily together as
an association of workers.
Let n« earnestly resolve as we
approach the threshold of another
year to be ever more helpful one to
the other than ever before, and to
scatter along the pathway of life
the pearls of kind words and loving
deeds.
It is my sincere wish that every
member of the Family may experi
ence in tlie new year great happi
ness and prosnerity and everv good
thing.
Cordially '-ours.
K. J. STACKPOLE.
Favors and Presents
The dinner favors were in the form
of Christmas crackers and in addition
a table at one end of the hall was
piled high with mysterious packages,
which, it developed, contained a pres
ent for each guest in attendance. The
presents consisted of all manner of
noise-making instruments, rubber balls,
dolls, .lumping-jacks and other toys of
mirth-provoking nature.
During the dinner Mr. Stackpole
made a brief address, thanking the
Family for its gift of a growing holly
tree trimmed with cards bearing the
Christmas greetings of each man and
woman and boy and girl connected with
the Telegraph establishment and sent
to him a year ago when he was seri
ously ill. He said he was sorry that
his sickness had prevented a dinner
last year, but added that he had
arranged in the future that the holi
day feast should be held regularly
whether he colild be present or not.
He dwelt upon the loyalty of the Tele
graph Family as a whole and said that
the efficiency of the plant had been
increased thereby and its growth pro
moted.
After the dinner the Family danced
for a time and then adjourned to the
Majestic Theater for the closing show
of the evening. Altogether it was one
of the most delightful of the social
reunions which the Telegraph Family
periodically enjoys.

WOULD ARBITRATE
BORDER DISPUTES
[Continued From First Page.]
posal are so far being held as con
fidential between the State Depart
ment and the Latin-American chan
cellories here. Mr. Landing to-day
declined entirely to discuss It in any
phase and the diploiaais uniformly
declared they could not discuss a mat
ter which was in Its preliminary stage
and under consideration by their
home foreign offices.
Outlined Proposals
I It became known, however, that
| soon after Secretary Lansing delivered
1 his Pan-American unity speech be
i fore the scientific congress in which he
I advocated a Pan-American "one for
1 all and all for one" he began inviting
| the Latin-American representatives
jto the State Department two at a
■ time and outlining to them his pro
posal. A the same time, u is under
stood the secretary's public declara
tion which had attracted much favor
able attention among the Latin Am
ericans because of Its suggestion that
all the opinions among American na
tions should if necessary constitute a
united bulwark against any unjust
invasion or aggression against a
neighbor was discussed in some detail
and uniformly it Is understood the
Latin Americans expressed their ap
probation of Mr. Lansing's state
ments. The technical form in which
the new proposal was made was not
disclosed to-day but there are indica-
I tions that It took the usual form of a
i memorandum to the diplomats, and
j was In such official form as could be
: transmitted to their home govern-
I ments as the basis for action.
Would Preserve Peace
| One of the first elements of the
; proposal which has for one of its
j ultimate objects the welding of a
! thoroughly united America Is the pre
serving of peace on the American
continent. It is realized that the
chief menaces to such a peace are
boundary disputes and revolutionary
activity. It is pointed out that if all
boundary disputes are removed to the
realm of arbitration, and all the Pan
American nations bind themselves to
absolutely prohibit shipments of war
munitions to any other than estab
lished governments, peace among the
nations themselves would practically
be assured and the attention of all
the American nations could be de
voted to what Secretary Lansing ex
pressed in iiis speech as working out
their destinies.
Many of Mr. Lansing's declarations
to the Pan-Amcrican Congress took on
added significance to-day in the light,
of his proposals to the Latin-American
proposals.
"Within recent years," said he, "the
United States has found no occasion,
with the exception of the Venezuelan
'boundary Incident to remind Europe
! that the Monroe Doctrine continues
| unaltered a national policy in this re
jpublic. The republics of America are
no longer children in the great family
|of nations. They have attained ma
turity."
"With all earnestness, therefore, I
commend to you the thought of the
American republics, twenty-one sov
ereign and independent nations bound
together by faith and justice and firm
ly cemented by a sympathy which
knows no superior and no inferior, but
which recognizes only all equality and
fraternity."
Women Should bo Trained
Ida M. Tarbell told the Pan-Am
erican scientific congress to-day that
the education of a woman should be
based on the assumption that she will
marry.
"The woman as a rule comes to her
task without systematic training,"
said Miss Tarbell. "Parents gener
ally consent that when she marries
she can pick up what she needs to
know. The results are deplorable.
Training should be general and should
begin in the kindergarten and con
tinue through the schools. Nothing
else is going to lift the stigma that
now rests on housekeeping labor for
hire."
Toledo Mayor Says He'll
Stick to His Office Now
Until He Is Thrown Out
Toledo. 0., Dec. 30. Mayor Carl
H. Keller announced this morning his
intention of fighting to retain his office
after January 1, and to refuse to ad
mit the legality of the election of
Charles M. Mllroy, who was elected on
a plurality .of second choice votes
under the preferential system of vot-j
ing.
"1 had made, up my mind." said
Keller, "to leave this office like a
gentleman without protest. Now
that they have tried to club me into I
it. I'll stick until I'm thrown out."
The mayor's reference to clubbing
was in connection with the indict
ment returned to-day charging him
with accepting a bribe. He claims it
was brought by political enemies to
compel him to relinquish his office
without contesting the legality of
Mllroy's election.
Both Republican and
Democratic Clubs Elect
At the annual meeting of the East
End Republican Club in the rooms,

TRAMP OCCUPIES
TEACHER'S HOME
[Continued From first Page,]
A well-dressed fellow responded.
"What are you doing here?" the
professor asked the stranger. "I'm
here on a visit.," was the reply. "Why,
this is my home and that is my suit
you are wearing." the professor de
clared.
Finding himself "In wrong," the
tramp attempted to escape, but the
professor showed his athletic training
by locking the husky hobo in a closet
and stood guard while his wife tele
phoned for Sheriff Hackenberg, who
took the intruder in charge.
The tramp has likely occupied the
Stewart residence since the close of
Rucknell University for the Christmas
holidays, as upon investigation the
Stewarts found the pantry had been
depleted and the beds and other parts
of the house showed signs of hard
usage. The tramp had all the stoves
in the house fired up, the number of
dirty towels in the bathroom Indicated
that the stranger had taken a bath or
two, and everything else about the
premises proved that he had made
himself very much at home.
The tramp was completely fitted out
with Professor Stewart's clothing from
underwear, suit, shirts, collars, cufTo
and necktie. J
Surgeons Refuse to
Operate on Nose and
Throat Because of Grip
New York. Dec. 30.—Physicians and
surgeons were warned by the New
York Health Department to-day to
delay operations upon the nose and
throat until the epidemic of the grip
now prevailing is ended. Dr. D. Bry
son Delevan. at whose suggestion the
warning was issued, said that physi
cians learned during the great grip
epidemic of 1895 that nasal oper
ations could not be successfully per
formed when such an epidemic was
prevalent.
"When the grip prevails, any oper
j ation on the nose is apt to be follow
ied by an acute attack of Influenza,
• although up to the time of the oper
ation the patient may have shown no
[signs of any such trouble," said Dr.
I Delevan.
Dr. Samuel Z. Shope. ear, eye, nose
and throat specialist of this city, an
nounced when interviewed, that ever
since the epidemic of grip hit the city
he has been consistently refusing to
operate on nose and throat cases He
said that already this week he has
refused to operate in twenty-three
cases.
"The mucous membrane of the
nose and throat is the fort which re
pels the attacks of the grip germ and
when you operate and cut this mem
brane. you are putting breaches into
this fort and laying yourself open to
immediate attack."
Grip Tightens Its Hold,
Crippling Industries
The grip is tightening its hold on
1 larrtsburg. Department stores, the
telephone companies, and a number
of industries are working shorthanded
because the employes are home nurs
ing colds, fevers and chills.
New cases reported show a large
I number of women now 111, including
employes of the Bell Telephone Com
pany. Businessmen in Market street
report at least 160 employes off with
the grip.
To date, records at the office of
the local health board show only
three deaths from grip in ten days.
Dr. J. M. J. Raunick, health officer,
says they were people over CO years
of age. Five deaths resulted from
pneumonia.
Travelers Stop at
County's Marriage
Bureau For Licenses
To-day was "transients' day" at the
Dauphin county marriage license bu
reau and several of the couples who
called for the necessary wedding pa
pers stopped here en route for some
point or other. Incidentally, the cleri
cal force wondered a little as to
whether or not there might not have
been a romance or two in the day's
docket records.
Among the applicants were Willard
Diniock Hill, who said he is a farmer
by •occupation, but who is now living
in Xew York, and Miss Louise Blod
gett. who is an extension worker of
St. Louis. They were en route to Buf
falo. George TV. Grove, a 45-year-old
ice cream manufacturer of Williams
port. and pretty 22-year-old Ruby A.
McCoy, of the same city, constituted
another traveling couple. She gave
her occupation as a domestic. The
clerks scented a little church romance
in the application of Harold L. Rom
berger and Ellen P. Bechtel. of Eliz
abethville. The bride-to-be plays the
organ in the United Brethren Church
in that town.

but service to Philadelphia and other
eastern and southern points, was not
resumed until late in the day. It is
not believed that some pf the breaks
will be repaired until late this eve
ning or to-morrow.
Lines Kast Still Out
At the Bell Telephone Company
office, service north and west was re
ported In good shape, but practically
all lines east and south were still out
of service at noon.
According to officials as soon as
the trouble is removed on trunk lines,
the shorter circuits to near points
will be put in shapte and It is ex
pected that practically every connec
tion with the larger centers will be
in service before noon to-morrow.
At the Western Union Telegraph
Company, lines east and west were In
use. Communications north and
south were being regained slowly.
Delay was experienced on the
south and west lines of the Postal
Telegraph Company, but the northern
and eastern connections were normal
before noon, it was said.
The railroad companies experienced
little trouble and delay to-day, al
though minor breaks in signal wires
and bad switches kept repairmen
working in some places.
Trolley service on all lines in the
city and to suburban points was re
ported on schedule time during the
day, and with the weather partly
cloudy and no more rain or sleet,
little trouble is expected.
Bell Company's Troubles
S. B. Watts, local manager of the
Bell Telephone Company of Pennsyl
vania at noon to-day stated that tem
porary service was now established

the company has been unable to es
tablish temporary service with Lan
caster and York, but hopes to have
these lines working by to-night. There
were approximately 200 subscribers in
Harrisburg out of service this morn

been restored and Mr. Watts states
that a good portion of the remainder
will be cleared by evening.

AUSTRIAN DESTROYERS

3.9-lnch guns, six 11-pounders and two
torpedo tubes.
Russians Launch Drive
Although Petrograd remains silent
on the subject, the public Inclined to
believe the Russians are undertaking a
great offensive in Bukowina near the
Bessarablan border. Official Austrian
reports telling of attacks by dense
masses of Russian troops indicate that
an important battle is under way.
The fighting centers at a point near
Toporoutz. a small town just within
the border of Northern Bukowina, but
a simultaneous attack is being made
along an extended front reaching from
the Pruth to a position north of the
Dniester, a distance of about forty
miles. The latest advices state that
the Russian assault is being continued,
accompanied by an unusually heavy
bombardment.
Unofficial reports from the extreme
northern portion of the eastern front
state the Germans have made a seri
ous but futile attack in the region of
I.<ake Babit, whtle the Russians west
of Lake Kanker are threatening Mltau,
These opposing attacks create a deli
cate situation, as a successful advance
by either would endanger considerable
forces of the defeated opponent.
French Win in Vosges
Along the western front, except for
mining and aerial engagements on the
British lines, the chief fighting seems
to be confined to the Vosges. where,
in the region of Hartmans-Weilerkopf,
the French elalnt to have made a suc
cessful advance. Berlin officially mini
mizes this success, but does not deny
it wholly.
Nothing has happened to change the
Macedonian position, but It Is gen
erally believed that any advance into
Greek territory must be made by the
Bulgarians, the opinion being that the
Austro-Germans cannot spare enough
troops for a serious attempt against
Saloniki.
Domestic tension In England over
the compulsion question has been
greatly relieved. Speculation continues
concerning the method which is to be
adopted to reach eligible unmarried
men. a majority agreeing that the
Derby plan of attestation will be ex
tended for this purpose.
