4 INVESTIGATORS BELIEVE FIREBUG CAUSED 7 BLAZES State Fire Marshals Investigat ing School Fires Discover New Clues Seven Incendiary fires within a year in a district less than a half mile long and four blocks wide is causing the police and State Fire Marshal's De partment much concern. Efforts are being made to place the seven torches in the hands of one man or one gang of men. Investigations thus far in connec tion with the tires at the Shimmell, Vernon and Forney school buildings have brought no results. This morn ing it became known that an attempt had been made to burn the Forney school at two places. The newest evi dence was discovered in the row of toilets in the boys' side of the cellar. There a quantity of charred waste was found. This had burned itself out be fore it had a chant'" to ignite the woodwork. A track of the Philadel phia and Reading railroad runs a half block away from the school and it may be possible that the waste was taken from the journal boxes of some freight cars. Greasy fingerprints were found to-day on the window and win dow sash through which entrance to the building was gained. Woman In Case? There is some supposition, too, that a man and a woman njay be impli cated in the fires but all efforts to sub stantiate this theory thus far have failed. It was learned, too, that be sides the two men seen loitering about the Vernon building Wednesday night, a* man and a woman with an automo bile were also seen. An automobile, carrying a man and a woman were also seen near the Shimmell building the night of the lire. That the real aim of the firebugs was the destruc tion of the Vernon building is the belief of investigators now. • They point out that any person familiar with the building would know that a fire started In the woodpile would not lead to the destruction of the build ing. They say the fire there was only intended to get the fire companies of the district in action at some other point so that the fire in the Vernon school would be given a chance to grow. Their belief continues that the fire at the Forney was intended to take some of the companies away from the Vernon building but that at that place the plan of the firebugs miscarried. Within a year, between Fourteenth and Eighteenth streets and between Market .street and the Heading "cut,'' four other unexplained fires have oc curred. Om was at Holl Bros.' manu facturing plant, another at John E. Dare's coal elevator and two attempts were made to destroy the warehouse of the Oliver Chilled Plow Works. No arrests have been made. BURLESQUE ATT ORPHEUM OBSCENE [Continued From First Page.] that information had been made by him against the theater management and said: "If there has been any in formation. I know nothing about it." Surprise was expressed at Windsor's denial of the responsibility for mak ing the information, in view of Ho verter's statement that, it was the de tective who brought the complaint. Mayor E. S. Meals this afternoon was called on the telephone and asked if the information against the theater people was in line with his announced policy for a clean city. Mayor Meals said: "I know nothing about the charges. If Detective Windsor has made the in formation. he lias done so because of a violation of the law. One of my pur poses in establishing the bureau of de tectives was to place the work of keep ing the city clean in one department. Detective Windsor is carrying out his instructions." Asked if it was the intention to stop burlesque shows. Mayor Meals said: "We will stop no shows that come within the law. That matter is with the hureau of detectives. We want clean shows, and If a production is found otherwise, the head of that de partment knows what to do." Hetrick and Geistwhite Renew Former Partnership Lawrence A. Hetrick who was for merly associated with George W. Geistwhite in merchant tailoring, has again joined forces with Mr. Geist white and the new firm with an old clientele has resumed business at 19 South Fourth street. Since retiring from the firm two years ago, the busi ness was continued by Mr. Geistwhito at 22 South Fourth street until the recent fire destroyed the building then owned by Mr. Hetrick. Tem porary quarters were secured at 23 South Fourth street, but the new store at the corner of Fourth and Black berry is one of the best lighted stores in the city and is equipped with the most modern glass cases which are stocked with the latest in fabrics for the Spring styles. Mr. Hetrick was for twelve years as sociated with the Baltimore One-Price Clothing Store, six years as manager and a. member of the firm until he retired ten years ago to go into busi ness for himself. Mr. Geistwhite, Who was an associate in the same store, joined Mr. Hetrick and for eight years the two conducted the merchant tailoring establishment in South Fourth street. Both men are there fore well known to the men of Harris burg and their years of experience in tailoring makes a desirable combina tion which should prove a valuable asset. Splnsterhood Often a Girl's Own Fault "It is often the girl's fault that she does not get married," says a young man In the December issue of the Womans' Home Companion, who gives his opinion of the modern young woman as his reason for remaining single. "She'd expect me to keep up the same pace," he says. "She'd expect to live in the style her parents can afford, to dress and live as well as any of her neighbors. The same Impulse which makes the girl of to-day demand the same sort of attention from a man that her richer girl friends receive will keep her poor husband's nose on the grind stone. once she lands him. I tell you it's the extravagant demands of the girl herself that frighten off the man. Mind you, I do not say there are not exceptions. But group the girls, and you see the attitude which frightens off the man of moderate means, or moderate salary, or a position as yet insecure." .\nilA\Gl.\G THADK TRIP Plans for the annual trade excursion of the Harrlsburg Chamber of Com merce were further advanced to-day at Altoona.

SATURDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG tfjjftl TELEGRAPH JANUARY 22, 1916 ONE COMMITTEE ON HIGH SCHOOL Board of Control Adopts Presi dent Stamm's Suggestion For Problem's Solution ACCEPT CHAMBER'S OFFER \V hole Directorate Plan Dropped; Boyer Makes Be port on Burned Schools Harrisburg's new high school prob lem is a step nearer solution. The School Board at its regular meeting yesterday afternoon unani mously adopted President A. Carson Stamm's suggestion for the appoint ment of a single committee of five directors to seek such information and advice on the question as can be ob tained. This committee will incor porate its recommendations as to site, type of structure, cost and ways and means of raising the funds in a com prehensive report to the directorate. The board also accepted the offer of assistance from the Chamber of Com merce which, recently named a com mittee for the purpose, including Wil liam Jennings. Arthur D. Bacon, AVil liam M. Donaldson, Francis J. Hall and E. A. HefHetlnger. New Committee Soon President Stamm intimated that the new high school committee will be named in the very near future. The directorate's committee will be em powered to seek the advice of all ex perienced citizens. Other organizations were urged to follow the Chamber of Commerce's lead, as the board will want all possible help in this matter. Director Werner rather favored the enlarging of the committee to include the whole board of nine directors. Di rector Houtz endorsed this plan, too, but the directorate, after considerable discussion, dropped the full board idea as being too unwieldy. Boyer Busy Man The mysterious fires in three school buildings which had set the city by the ears during the last few days were dls- ; cussed yesterday and the directorate took definite steps to insure the new Shimmell building for $24,000. State Officials Report Removal of waste paper and inflam mable material from basements and storerooms where their presence might endanger the structure, the need of hand rails on some stairways, guards for switchboards and machinery were among the minor suggestions made to the board by the State inspectors. Fire I drills were recommended. The directorate will follow the rec ommendation of President Stamm and Secretary Hatnmclbaugh that the School Board take out State work- j men's compensation insurance because it is SSO to SIOO cheaper than the dis trict's own liability insurance would be. Combine Colored Xiglit Schools The colored night schools in the Calder and Wickershain buildings will be combined into a single school, to be taught by John P. Scott. Miss Edna Bowers was voted SIOO for serving as athletic director for the girls of Cen tral high school. The death of Miss Ethel Hall, a teacher In the (lamp Cur tin building, created a vacancy which was filled by the selection of Miss Ruth Partheniore. The board formally ap pointed Miss Nora M. Koons, Plain field, N. J. .and Harry K. Balsbaugh, Palmyra, as the instructors for the continuation schools. Permission was given the Christ Lutheran Sunday School to use the auditorium of the Shimmell building for an entertain ment February 22. This is the first time the auditorium was used for such a purpose. BALKANS LEAD IN WAR INTEREST [Continued From First Page.] to admit that there has been any break in the negotiations.

There is discussion in Germany of a separate peace between Germany and Belgium and a London dispatch quotes an influential Frankfort news paper as suggesting that Belgium ought not to wait too long before tak ing up the subject, as Belgium, whicb until now had been considered as an object of exchange by the German chancellor, would come to be consid ered a good prize.

JAPAN PLANNING NAVAL EXPANSION Will Build Superdreadnaught, Two Cruisers, One Destroyer and Three Submarines Tokio Jan. 17. — (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) —One super dreadnaught, two cruisers, one de stroyer, three submarines and two special service ships constitute the program of naval building; for Japan for the coming year. Admiral Kato, minister for marine, explained the naval expansion project before the budget committee of the Diet yester day in response to an interpellation. The battleship will be about the same type as the Fuso and Yamashiro, which was recently launched, and will carry twelve 14-inch guns and six teen 61inch guns. The two cruisers will have a speed of 28 knots. They will probably be in the nature of light scout ships. Their armament has not yet been decided. The submarines will have a displacement of seven hundred tons each, a speed of 18 knots on the surface and 10 knots in the water and will carry one gun. Admiral Kato expressed the opinion that the war in Europe would not necessitate any considerable alteration in the naval armament of the great powers. He fully recognized, he said, the effectiveness of aircraft and sub marines as weapons of offense as dem onstrated in the present bar, but he believed that these facts hardly af fected the position of the battleship as an engine of war. If the Kaiser's warships dared not venture from their own sheltered waters it was because of the powerful British squadrons awaiting them outside. The absence of any great naval engagement in Eu rope must be ascribed to the very great difference between the British and German navies. As for submarines, however, actively they might work their activities were they confined within certain limits and they could hardly be expected to place the great battleships hors tie combat. The minister said that equipment was now being provided on ships aaginst air attacks. He was confident that the dreadnaught remained the basic unit of great navies. Prefer It-Inch (>uns The admiral further said that in deciding the armaments for new bat tleships the naval authorities pre ferred the twelve 14-inch guns prin ciple to the eight 15-inch of the Brit j ish and German navies because they deemed the former more advantageous 'than the latter from the viewpoint of naval tactics. Furthermore the au thorities believed that there would occur no change in the shape and size of warships and naval guns in the near future. The minister's remarks brought out the fact that Japan's eventual program includes the estab lishment of a first line fleet of eight battleships and eight great battle cruisers. Admiral Kato was asked particu larly by K. Kobayashi, a member of the committee, as to the comparative strength of the Japanese navy and those of Great Britain. Germany and the United States. The member also wanted to know whether the naval authorities were confident of victory in case of war —for instance, in case of war with the United States, lie asked what plan the navy had in case the United States attacked Ja pan with her naval strength twice that of the Japanese navy. To this Admiral Kato replied that figures do not always decide the issue of a bat- 1 I tie. He is quoted as having added: ["lf the American navy invades Japan we have only to encounter it with the best tactics and art of warfare, to the last vessel and last man, meanwhile relying on the dignity of the august emperor and the strong support of a sixty millions nation. Tills is the decision of our navy in such an even tuality." Simultaneous with the opening of the Diet has come a sweeping change in the personnel of the navy. Espe cially noteworthy is the appointment of Vice Admiral Yashiro, ex-minister of the navy, to be commander-in chief of the second squadron; Vice Admiral Nawa as commander-in-chief of Maizuru naval station; Vice Admi ral Murakami as commander-in-chief of tlie third squadron; Vice Admiral Yamaya, who commanded the Japa nese squadron to the southern isles during the war operations last year, as vice chief of the naval board of command; and the transfer of Vice Admiral Takarabe from commander ship of the third squadron to the com mand of the secondary naval station at Port Arthur. Since resigning as minister of ma rine, Vice Admiral Yashiro, who won the applause of the public as leader of the navy cleansing in connection with the naval scandal of last year has been leading a secluded life in a suburb of Kioto devoting himself to the study of Buddhistic philosophy. Ills appointment to the new post to gether with his restoration to active service has attracted much appro val. The changes are generally regarded in Toklo as indicating a commence ment of waning of the Influence of men of Satwma extraction. The great leaders in the navy have always come from Satsuma province, hence the army power had come to be known as Satsuma. TARIFF BIG ISSUE ] IN 1916 CAMPAIGN J [Continued From First I'ajto.] t ers and our industries." It should be adequate, he held, to carry Its full share of the cost of national defense imd general enoiißli to protect the country from what will follow the war. j When the Governor was asked what I he thought would follow the war he said: "First, there will be a cessation of war orders, and, secondly, the great masses of products of a returning in dustrialism in Europe will llood our markets and menace our prosperity." The Governor asserted that the quick creation of a merchant marine, by subventions if necessary, was essen tial to national preparedness because trade opportunities were great. The Governor has lons been an advocate of development of trade with South America and in talking about it he said: "The time to get a commanding place in trade with the great countries to the south of us is now. We must act now to get it and to hold it when the time of stress comes. The time to hold it is coming and the tariff will then support our new and enlarged I markets. This is plain national wis dom and Republican duty." In talking about the campaign the Governor made this statement about Republicanism and the young man: "The Republican party lias been a party of constructive achievements. It has done things in a commanding way. It has given hope and help to the mil lions of young toilers in this country. The party is steadfastly the advocate of a higher wage and better living con ditions for the toilers. It insists that the larger good guaranteed to ouri people shall not be menaced by free! competition with foreign products made under lower standards of living than we have in the United States. This Is (lie essence of a protective tariff. We believe as did Alexander Hamilton at the outset that this re public, resting its destiny upon the will of the people, must guarantee by a protective tariff such economic con ditions as will enable us to realize here the high type of citizenry requisite to the demands our form of government exacts of its people. It is a construct ive and advancing policy that should catch the hearts and fix the minds of young men, who. more than others, should have patriotic concern for tli® advancing welfare of the country. They, longer than others, will person ally benefit by this Republican policy, t and they most of all can contribute in this way to the country's industrial permanency and supremacy. "The Republican party has fostered and promoted education for all the people. It has enacted all the sub stantially good legislation. State and national, in the educational advance of the country. Its appeal should rest fundamentally upon its campaigns for protection and education. These are the young man's problems. These must also have the central ideas of commercial advance, better transpor tation both by sea and land, the uni versalizing of the best in our social, economic and civil life—a genuine and practical Americanism which takes seriously tbe fundamental ideas of a democracy. "Unless the humblest is helped to the best and made to be at liis best, we have failed in our national pro gram of service. The Republican party stands now. as it did a generation ago, for these things. Whatever may ! have been its temporary conflicts | within, it must now arise a chastened, | cleansed and courageous party, thrill ! ing with patriotic purpose, and stand ing four-square for all that makes for efficiency at home and for respect 1 abroad. To this service—the service lof clean, capable and conscientious , nen —it invites and welcomes the virile voung manhood of the nation, con fident that its dominant purposes can be given unreservedly the best service young men can bring to their country | and its people."

Officers and members of the freight er's crew said that, so far as they knew, no explosion preceded the fire, but they were unable to offer an ex planation of how the blaze originated In a hold which, they said, contained only structural steel and railway ma terial. When asked if there was any evidence Indicating the Are had been of Incendiary origin the officers said "it was too soon to make an Invest 1- gation" and declined to comment upon the unusual features of the blase. Norton. Lilly & Co.. agents for the Sygna. later stated that the freighter did not carry any munitions or highly | Inflamable material, the cargo consist ing chiefly of steel, railway car parts and wire. Origin Mystifies Members of the Sygma's crew who covered the hatch of the forehold yes terday said there was no indication of fire when the freighter sailed and that it was early yesterday evening before one of the watch saw smoke seeping from around the hatch. The cover was hurriedly taken off and while no flames could be seen a great quantity of smoke rose from the hold. The cap tain and officers were mystified con rwninar thn origin of the liloze and It ' was decided to put back at once. Owing to the tightly packed mass of steel beneath the decks, the crew of the fireboat found much difficulty in lighting the blaze In attempting to enter the hold. It was impossible to locate the center of the fire or to learn the nature of the material that was burning and for that reason the tire boat continued to pour steam into the hold for several hours. The Sygna will be docked, partly unloaded and thoroughly examined to determine the cause of the blaze. SJteel rails and various formd of structural steel were said to be In the bottom of i the hold, while on top of this material was a large amount of railway sup plies, chiefly steel car parts, for as sembling in Russia. It could not be learned whether the vessel had any I munitions aboard. The fire on Jhe Sygna is the latest of | a long series of tires and explosions which have occurred on vessels shortly after they sailed from this and other American ports with munitions or sup spiles for the allies. In numerous cases it has been found that the fires were caused by incendiary bombs or fuses, but several of the cases have gone un explained, at least so far as the public has been concerned.
