Name Street I UK "} City State GRIEVING MOTHER WRITES TO LEARN IF SHE IS WIFE County Recorder Lentz Re ceives Heart-Aching Missive From Faraway Kansas AN'AS HUSBAND WEDDED ? AV'ilV. and Child Penniless— Asks For Marriage Bureau and Divorce Data \\ uy out in Chase, Kan., a sorrow - ins little woman is anxiously awaiting Ihe word from Harrisburg that will iell her whether or not she is really a deserted wife. Weeks of weary search for work to provide food and shelter for herself pml tiny baby long since has convinced her that she has been deserted; but she doesn't truly know whether she is a legally wedded wife. The message of hope will be sent by James 13. Eentz, recorder of deeds of Dauphin county. In his mail the other day Recorder l.entz got an appealing letter from the Kansas town front Mrs. Katie Eisen berger. She asked whether Mr. tantss • ould inform her if a marriage license liad been granted one "Edgar H. Eisenberger" any time before February 14, 1012, and whether, if this be true, ii divorce had been granted his wife or himself. The reason is written in a single line. "The Day" "I le came out here." wrote the young mother in far-away Kansas, "and won my heart, and on that day we were married." "That day" was February 14, 1912. "Since then we had been living hap pily until a man from the East stopped here and told me that Edgar had been married back there and had a wife and'child," went on the letter. "Only a year ago Edgar suddenly dis appeared. leaving me and my small baby penniless." Recorder Lentz promptly made a diligent search of the marriage license anrl divorce court records, but could lind no trace of any issue of license or any divorce proceedings in the name in question. The Chase letter is typical of the letters the recorder gets in most every mail. Not all, however, are stained with tears. Other letters Here is one that has kept that, offi cial guessing over since he received it. It came from "Mr. Michael Werb. 2345 AVntson street, Pittsburgh, Pa." _"1 understand." wrote Mr. Michael, "that there is a cousin of mine in there hunting for me and he says T am to I have some money. Please send me word if there is anything to it." "Well, we tried to help out Mr. Weri,," sighed the recorder, "but f must say it might have helped a little if Mr. Werb had given us a little more •ieflnlte information to work on. For instance, he might have mentioned the name of his cousin!" liere's another. This is from Look out Mountain, Tenn. The writer wants fjome information as to the marriage of "Jacob Hammaker or Haymaker" some vears back—during 1750 to 1772. "The exact data is very important," wrote the seeker of information, "as l.'.ion it hinges the eniestlon of my eli gibility to the Daughters of the Ameri can Revolution."

AWAIT OPENING OF CHARITY BALL j | Continued From First Page.] lised, Japanese lantern - lighted ex-I elusive supper room. The linal 'touches have been added | to the decorations of the big hall that j has been converted into a great Gar den of Japan. The score or more • youths and maidens who will illus-1 trate the passage of the years since j the days of antiquity in the Pageant; of Ptndnf, tried out their steps in I dress rehearsal last evening. The Music Miss Sara Lemer handled the big j orchestra in a way that gave tlie dancers some idea of what the music ! of the big event of the year is going; to lie. When the dancers had finished 1 their steps, youths and maids inolud-| ins Miss Katherine Noland, the in-{ structor. were willing to vote, un- j animously that they had never danced j to music with such "pep." Few details remain to be handled | to-day except to bank the checks and ; i asli that have already been received , i l>y' the finance committee. The maids 1 and nien-in-waiting for the retiring and coatrooms, respectively, will get; 'their final instructions from corps of i [captains this afternoon; the planning! of the dinner tables has been practi-j | '-ally finished: the thousand and one odd details for the Charity Ball have ' been completed.

At 10 o'clock.the general dancing; will begin and at the same time the supper room will be thrown open. J Two orchestras will play alternately | so that dancing may be continuous. , And sometime after 2 o'clock to-1 morrow morning the Charity Ball will , be history. Ex-Congressman Rupley Wins Out in Suit For Claim of S2OO on Note After less than two hours' delib- ' eration a January common pleas jury, last evening returned a verdict in the defendant's favor in the assumpsit ac tion which \V. S. Russel, Carlisle, brought agains tex-Congressman A. R. Rupley to recover S2OO for an "I O U" note. The jury this morning returned a sealed verdict. Mr. Russel claimed the S2OO was due from .Mr. Rupley on an unpaid "I O U". Mr. Rupley admitted having given the note, but said he offered it in return for a S2OO advance on his i fee to be. paid conditionally upon his I putting through some stock deals for! Mr. Russel. The stock deals were put through successfully, the ex-congress man contended, and he supposed he was to keep the S2OO and that the "1 O U" was to be returned to him or! destroyed. He forgot all about the note until Mr. Russel began his suit just one day before the expiration of the six-year statute of limitation. Trial of the action which grew out of Catherine Marshall's claim to the possession of about $2,000 worth of mortgages given as a deathbed gift occupied the attention of a jury in President Judge Kunkel's court most all day. The Central Trust Company, administrator of Catherine Finn's es tate. is disputing Miss Marshall's claim. The latter contends that Mrs. Finn handed her the valuable papers to keep just before death. The gifl, she said, was in recognition of faithful services. The testamentary cajacity of the dvinir woman is t.h« nn«#linn |by the trust company. The jury late j yesterday afternoon disposed of the suif for a note of S6O brought by Harry ' A. Tyson against A. M. Kaufman in a j horse deal, returning a full verdict for ! $64.76 for Tyson.

"This survey," said Mr. Palmer, j "was made by men who know the | buildings and who are thoroughly j trained in prevention and safety work, j t called it to the attention of Superin : t endent. Downes this morning and he ! assured me of the fullest co-operation jon the part of the Harrisburg School Board and its officials. I understand I immediate steps will be taken to cor ! red conditions." 1 In Williamsport where a similar .survey was made the school authori -1 ties carried out all the recommenda j tions and braced up fire drills, em- I ploying a special inspector of its own : to look after the matter. School Directors on Job President Stamm and all other di rectors were at the fires this morning and were active in directing the tire men to points where the best results could be had. Harry A. Boyer, who resides former president who resides in the Allison Hill district with Presi dent Stamm were the first to reach the Shimmell building. Later they went jto the Vernon building. First Fire Discovered by Railroaders in Shimmell Building j The fire at the Shimmell building j started in the rear basement in a wood | pile. Entrance was gained through a small trap door leading to the coal I bin. The door which was not locked 'was found open. The woodpile ad joins the coal bins. The flames btirn |od through to a small shed covered : with tar paper in which was stored | finished lumber. The flames were first, discovered by employes in the Philadelphia and , Heading Railway yards. The first, alarm was given by the engine , whistles. An alarm was sent in from ! Hox No. 64, Sixteenth and Berryhill streets at 2:10 a. m. When the flre -1 men arrived the rear of the building was in flames. Four streams of water were directed to the basement and two streams sent, through the building to prevent the spread of the flames. There was considerable smoke and the firemen had a stubborn blaze to fight. They worked for two hours be fore it was under control. The fire burned through a portion of the floor above but gained little headway. The firemen flooded the basement in their efforts to drown out the fire in the woodpile. This cut off the steam heat plant from serv ice. and extinguished the fire in the boilers. The Shimmell building is a fireproof structure, and very little smoke reached the second floor. A number of window glasses were broken leading to the basement and on the first floor. When William D. Fritz, the janitor arrived he made an examination of all the doors and found them locked. The only open ing was at the rear trapdoor on which there were no locks. After the water had been pumped out, the coalpile was examined, and foot marks were discovered, indicating that the firebug entered by way of the trapdoor to the coalpile, and after starting the fire returned through the trapdoor, climbing back over the coalpile. The damage here was small, and is estimated at between S4OO and S3OO.

Vernon Building Gutted; Fire Discovered Here 20 Minutes After First Tlie firemen were at work on the Shimmeil building only twenty min utes when the fire was discovered in the Vernon building. Persons running to the Shimmeil building noticed the flames in the basement, and an alarm was sent in from Box 342, Fifteenth and Derry streets at 2.30 a. m. This brought the upper district companies, and the Shamrock com pany from the Mill. The flames had gained considerable headway before the arrival of the firemen, and had burned through the first floor, and spread to the second floor. As at the Shimmeil building, there was evidence here that the blaze started In the basement in a wood pile. Word was sent to John C. Kind ler, f)re chief, who was/ at the first fire, and he ordered two of the com panies to the Vernon building, the other firemen getting into service af ter completing work in South Seven teenth street. Every effort possible was made to nave this building, but due to the fact that the flames had reached the roof, making a clean sweep over the north west portion of the building, the fire men had a hard fight. The desks and other furniture not fastened were removed from the first floor, enabling the firemen to get closer to the fire in the basement. The (lames, however, had spread the entire length of the basement and were shooting up on four sides of the building in a short time. The struc ture was gutted. The firemen worked until after 4 o'clock Ihis morning on this blaze. The damage to furniture and build ing is estimated at SIO,OOO. The walls are in good shape, and rebuilding will start at once. Alter the (ire an investi- Ration was made, and a cellar grate was found open. It is believed that entrance was gained through the open grate which leads to the woodpile. Until the water is pumped out and a thorough investigation made, the ex tent of the damage to the heating plant cannot be made. Janitor Discovers Blaze Just in Time at the Forney School Building On his return to the Forney building from the scene of the Vernon fire at 7 o'clock Edward Sheets, the janitor, sa'v smoke coming from the basement. He called to an acquaintance to tele phone for the Mount Pleasant com* pony and then started an investigation. Slieetz found the portion of the base ment used by the boys for a playroom and adjoining the toilets in flames. One partition in the toilet rooms was burned through ami the (lames were spreading along the floor above and i had reached the playroom. While the Mount Pleasant firemen were on their way to the Forney huildlng Mr. Sheets was busy with a small hydrant stream. Chemical streams made short work of the blaze and enabled a better in vestigation as to the origin of the Are than at the other building. The wood work showed signs of having been saturated with some liquid. An open grate was also found an this building. About the opening were found a number of burned matches which left a trail leading to the por tion of the basement where the flames had started. lAter it was found that one of the outside connections between the water pipes and tire service pipes running through the building had been cut of). Nearby telephones, It was found, were tampered with. A careful estimate of the damage to ills building was made and it is said . wiil require an expenditure of |30(l > make the necessary repairs. Bell Telephone officials said this aft ernoon that though the lines near th« Forney school building might have been tampered with, as the fire In* 5
