A Profitable Genie |
There's a Modern Genie that turns pianos, long silent, into Player
Pianos: living things of music, playing now the raggy trot and now a
time-honored classic. This modern genie is the adaptable player piano
action built by the Charles E. Bard and Company—an instrument which
converts the ordinary straight piano into a full 88-note player piano
without altering the case. Do you realise the unlimited field this genie
has in which to operate? Of the ten million pianos now in the United
1 States, six million are but seldom used. In this enormous field the mod
ern genie will prove effective and will protlt. The laborious method of I I
hand playing is becoming passe. This is the day of the Piano Player! I
THE INVESTMENT SECURE
Bard actions are favorably known throughout the Piano world. The
factory is now busy building player actions for piano manufacturers.
These actions will mean yearly contracts which alone will pay all over
head and operating expenses and still leave a nominal profit. But our
big field lays in the convertible actions —a field without competition.
OUR CONDITION
The factory building is erected and free of debt. All machinery is in
stalled and paid for. There Is no borrowed money—no outstanding
notes in the company. With one exception all bills, have been dis
counted. There is no indebtedness of any sort with the exception of
small current bills. But we need working capital, and here's your II
opportunity.
The company is now selling 400 shares of stock to create this working
capital. Common is at par, SSO. Preferred is at par, SSO. If you've
money to invest we can think of no better plan than to talk it over with
any of the following officers or directors. They're all men you know—
have known for years, and the industry is a Harrlsburg industry, located
right before you—always! May we send you our booklet, telling vou
of our plan, our plant and our prospects? It will interest you.

MORE LOCAI, OPTIONIBTB
Local option party pre-emption pa
pers were filed to-day for the Second
Representatives, Thirty-ninth Sena
torial and Twenty-seond Congressional
districts of Westmoreland county, and
for the Twelfth Representative and
Twenty-nine Congressional districts of
Allegheny.
LOCAL OPTION TO
BE DISCUSSED
Important Conference W T ill Be
Addressed by the Gover
nor Tomorrow Night
The plan and scope of the campaign
for the election of members of the
next Legislature pledged to local
option will be discussed to-morrow
evening at a conference to be held
in the Commonwealth Hotel, this city,
by men identified with the local option
movement In Philadelphia, Pittsburgh
and other cities. J. Denny O'Neil,
Dr. George W. Shelton, Dr. H. W. Tope
and others will be here and Governor
Brumbaugh will make an address.
The local option advocates have
lately been pre-empting the name and
are preparing to make their campaign
vigorously in every part of the State.
Preliminary work is said to have
shown brisk interest in the campaign
on the part of businessmen.
Edward aanp, of this city, who was
elected Republican Jury Commissioner
last Fall, to-day filed his papers to run
as a candidate for the Republican
nomination for the Legislature on an
avowed local option platform in the
Harrisburg city district. Mr. Dapp has
been backed by many prominent and
influential men.
Governor's Record Is
Refutation of Charges,
Headquarters Say
The Brumbaugh headquarters to
day gave out a statement in substance
as follows:
"Good deeds speak loudly for those
who perform them, and all the subter
fuges in the category of crooked poli
tics couldn't wipe out the warm regard
that right-minded citizens throughout
the State have for Governor Brum
baugh. Governor Brumbaugh's rec
ord is an open book. To read it is to
admire and to strive to emulate him.
Moreover, his record as Pennsylvania's
Executive is ineffacable. Mud thrown
by the opposition spatters into so
much ineffective dust."
Among the letters endorsing the
Brumbaugh candidacy given out by
the headquarters to-day are those from
F. B. Wonsetler, insurance man, Nor
ristown; C. M. Ritner. Carlisle; C. S.
Garman. cigar manufacturer, Denver,
and C\ A. McAnult.v, Blairsville. The
deluge of telegrams and letters con
tinues to pour in, says the statement.
GOVERNOR GETS
BIG OVATION
[Continued From First Page.]
I mented by the fact tlia* their assess
ments- constitute a part of the county
! assessments, and it may well be a
I matter of concern for you to determine
|to what extent local government
should be accorded to these boroughs
(to determine their own basis of as
sessment, in order that they may pro
■ vide adequate funds to care for their
streets, their sewers, their schools,
their water supply and the other es
sential things that make up a pros
perous, healthy community.
The Governor said that the various
iaspects of the right organization of a
'borough will necessarily be the sub-
Iject of detailed discussion by the gath
ering," and he asked the delegates to
give the new borough code, passed at
the last session of the Legislature, a
fair trial. Kinally he made a plea
that every citizen of every borough in
the State stand ready at all times to do
his part for the welfare of the com
munity when called on for public
duty.
The big audience cheered the Gover
nor to the echo when he concluded.
Commissioner Jackson was chair-
I man of the session this afternoon and
in opening the meeting he spoke of
| the work which the Department of
j Labor and Industry can do in assisting
the boroughs of Pennsylvania. He
| urged the co-operation of the boroughs
and the department and said that both
! would be benefited as a result.
When Governor Brumbaugh con
cluded his address, Commissioner
Jackson introduced Joseph W. Hunter,
tlrst deputy highway commissioner of
Pennsylvania, who talked of the re
lation of the borough and the highway
department and how the highways in
Pennsylvania can be improved by
both t-ae department and the boroughs
working together.
I Another speaker at the afternoon
i session was Nelson McVicker, mem
ber of the Legislature from Allegheny
county, who talked on the "Borough
Code and What It Means to the Bor
ough." Mr. McVicker helped frame
the borough code. The last speaker
this afternoon was E. A. Welmer, pres
ident of the Pennsylvania Building
Code Commission.
Delegates from boroughs in every
part of Pennsylvania registered at the
sessions to-day of the fifth annual con
vention of the' State Association of

SENATE WANTS
INVESTIGATION OF
STANDARD OIL
Adopts Resolution to Have Re
sults of Findings Since
Dissolution
By Associated Press
Washington, April 11. Without
debate the Senate to-day adopted a
resolution by Senator Kenyon. Re
publican, directing the Attorney Gen
eral if not incompatible with public'
interest to submit to the Senate all
reports of investigations made by the
department inlo the Standard Oil
Company since the Supreme Court '
decree of dissolution against that j
company and particularly any investi
gation in gasoline prices.
Dealers Face Bnin
Senator Kenyon read to the Senate,
resolutions adopted by the Western I
Oil Jobbers' Association, at St. Louis,
petitioning Congress to supplement
the Sherman law to make effective the
decree of dissolution against the
Standard Oil Company, and declaring
It to be the sense of the association
that the dissolution decree was a
failure.
A letter to Senator Kenyon from
counsel for the association declared
independent oil jobbers of the Mid
dle West would be driven out of bus
iness and faced financial ruin, unless
an end was brought to discriminatory
prices of gasoline dictated by the
Standard Oil Company.
Hanover, president, called the meel
.lng to order at 10.45 o'clock this
morning the hall was well filled.
Sessions will be held tills afternoon,
this evening and to-morrow morning
and afternoon and the convention will
conclude with a reception to the dele
gates by Governor Brumbaugh In the
Governor's reception room at the Capi
tol at 9 o'clock to-morrow night.
In opening the convention this
morning President Chrostwaite traced
the history of community building
from the beginning of the world and
pointed out how community improve
ments and developments run side by
side with civilization. He also talked
of the conditions of thoroughfares and
lighting and sanitation systems in the
cities of the ancients and compared
them with the systems of the present
day.
Need for Better System
Mr. Chrostwaite spoke of the forma
tion of boroughs in Pennsylvania and
of the great number of prosperous
communities in the State to-day. "The
history, growth and development of
the boroughs in Pennsylvania," he
said, "should make lis conscious of our
strength and our possibilities an<i of
our needs and necessities. It may be
safely said that boroughs have devel
oped in this Commonwealth in spite
of an obsolete, incomplete, chaotic,
cumbersome, inconsistent, incompre
hensible system of laws, and surely with
out any uniform or organized method
of judicial construction. We seek and
need no special favors: we are entitled
to none: but we do need, should have,
can have, and probably will have, that
elastic, breathing, self-conforming, un
hampered. healthful, easy-to-be-known
and quick-to-be-adapted system of
government which will give us in Its
fullness all our birthright due us
through the ages of community bulld
) ing." ' •
Population of 2,500,004)
Mr. Chrostwaite also gave some In
teresting figures pertaining to bor
oughs of the state. He said: "The
boroughs of this State have a popu
lation of close to two and one-half
millions. In the last ten years they
have gained in population about 46
per cent. This gain is about twice as
much as any other class of municipali
ties in the State and nearly four times
as much as the rural increase in popu
lation. There are 50 per cent, more
boroughs in the State entitled to be
; cities than there are cities in the State,
and the population of the boroughs
entitled to be cities is about three
fourths the population of the cities of
the .third class. Boroughs over 5,000
population have over 300,000 more
people than all the cities of the third
class. The population of the boroughs
is now greater than the whole popu
lation of the State when the general
borough act or 1851 was passed, yet
neither the Constitution nor the Legis
lature has seen fit to give these bor
oughs the iigiit of local home rule nor
has seen fit to pass any broad, gen
eral legislation during the past sixty
years. The population of the boroughs
of Pennsylvania exceed the population
of the Stales of Wyoming, North Da
kota, South Dakota, Nevada, Idaho,
Arizona. Utah, Oregon, New Mexico
and Alaska."
Offer Resolutions
At the conclusion of the opening
address the following- resolutions, of
fered respectively by John D. Meyer,
solicitor of Edge-wood borough, Alle
gheny county; G. F. Greine'r, secretary
and solicitor of Ridgway, Elk county,
and W. W. Hall, solicitor of West
Pittston, Luzerne county, were passed:
Resolved, That a committee of
throe be appointed to submit nomi
nations for officers of this association,
in accordance with the constitution to
be adopted, they to report at a session
of the association to be held ooni
day afternoon.
Resolved, That a committee of five
be appointed to prepare a constitution
for this association, they to report at
the session to be held on Wednesday
afternoon.
Resolved, That a committee on reso
lutions. consisting of five members, be
appointed, to whom all resolutions
shall be referred without debate, they
to report at to-morrow afternoon's
session, when debate thereon may be
had.
To-night's Speakers
The speakers at the session at 8
o'clock this evening will be J. Elmer
Saul, burgess of Norristown; Charles
F. Gettemy, director of the Bureau of
Statistics of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts: A. W. Powell. Auditor
General of Pennsylvania, and A. C.
Pleydell. secretary of the New York
Tax Reform Association.
The purpose of the whole conven
tion is to bring the boroughs of Penn
sylvania in closer contact with each
other and secure legislation which will
enable them to work on the same basis
and assist In their uplift. The call for
the convention was issued by Governor
Brumbaugh and arrangements for the
sessions were made by the Division of
Municipal Statistics and Information
of the Department of Labor and In
dustry.
Paul N. Furman, chief of the Bureau
of Statistics and Information of the
Department of and Industry,
was one of the speakers this afternoon
and after talking of the work of his
division said:
"The department is always willing
and anxious to take up, investigate
and render all helpful and possible aid
in the administration of your activi
ties, and it is absolutely necessary, In
order to do this promptly and effi
ciently, to have your co-operation.
"The division will be glad to take up
with any of the inunicipalilies of the
Commonwealth, or their officers, any
subject of administration and will fur
nish the information just as soon as it
can be gathered and properly tabu
lated. but this cannot be done without
your help,"

peculiarly difficult 1o operate in any i
numbers against Villa in the district!
where he is now fleeing.
The efficiency of the American
troops was highly praised by General

mander at Madera, now on a trip to
Juarez. He said Colonel Dodd han-I

The Arrieta brothers are said to be
fortifying the c ity of Durango, but for
what purpose has not been indicated. I
A plot of - wide dimensions, hatched
In El Paso and backed by the people
who are financing Felix Diaz in a I
movement against the de facto gov- j
ernment. of Mexico is believed by the ]
police to-day to have been unearthed j
by the arrest last night of fifteen Mex- j
leans accused of being implicated in j
the flight across the border of Gen- I
eral Ynez Salassar.
Agents of the Department of Justice
aided the police in making the ar
rests. most important of which were
General Marcelo Caraveo and Gen
eral Ignaclo Morelos Zaragoza, who
like Salazar were along the well
known and trusted of the late Vlc
torlano Huerta lieutenants.
The prisoners were questioned for
the better part of the night by the
police and secret service officials. This
story was pieced together from their
admissions and the authorities believe
they have discovered the essential de
tails of the plot.
Diaz Backers Dissatisfied
The backers of Diaz it Is said be
came dissatisfied because his own
military reputation was limited and
he had no man with his movement In
whose generalship the Mexican peo
ple had confidence. They were also
anxious to reinforce the Diaz cam
paign in Southern Mexico by a
similar insurrection In the northern
part of the republic. A soldier was
wanted of ability and Salazar was
selected. He was amply supplied with
funds and proceeded to organize his
followers from El Paso. Emissaries
were sent into Mexico to try out the
sentiments of various Carranza gar
risons and to stir up the people by
spreading reports that Carranza was
In the pay of the United States and
that General Pershing's expeditionary
force was really the advance guard
of an army of occupation. There has
been plenty of evidonce that such re
ports have been circulated in Juarez
and have caused a considerable Im
pression on the peons.
Bitterly Opposed to TJ. S.
Salazar's plans were not yet ripe
when he learned that he was in
danger of betrayal. He became alarm
ed and fled across the border on Sun
day accompanied, it is believed by
only a handful of his most trusted
adherents.
His exact plans at present, as well
as his whereabouts, are unknown but
the proclamation he left behind him,
coupled with statements made by men
who had known him well in El Paso,
leave little doubt that his attitude to
ward the United States is one of
determined and bitter hostilities.
I.incs Are In Danger
Tie is opposed to both Carranza and
I Villa, and is expected to attempt to
rally the Mexicans on a platform of
uncompromising opposition to this
; country with a demand for the im
mediate withdrawal of the American
'loops under the penalty of war with
Mexico.
Dispatches from Columbus which
told of extraordinary precautions
taken to guard the town last night
were accepted here as proof that the
American military authorities regard
the Salazar move as of grave im
portance. No one was willing to ven
ture a prediction as to what would
result if Saiazar made an attack on
the American lines of communication
but it was felt that the military pre
parations at Columbus showed that
the authorities believed such an
eventuality was not impossible.
Washington Credits Report
That Villa Has Succumbed
to Rigors of His Flight
By Associated Press
Washington. April 11. Unofficial
and unconfirmed reports that Villa is
dead reached the Carranza embassy
to-day and were given some degree of
credence by officials there.
The reports were represented as
having come from Queretaro, General
Carranza's provisional capital.
They were unsubstantiated by the
latest dispatches to the War and State
Departments. The reports of Villa's
recent injury, however, and the rigors
of his long and hurried (light in which
he has been variously reported as
being carried on a litter, on the
shoulders of his men or in a carriage
over the rough Mexican trails, gave
some color' to the possibility that the
bandit chieftain may have been un
able to survive the hardships of the
flight in his disabled condition.
Only 1,000 Troops in U. S.
Official estimates of the number of
troops in Mexico and on the border
available for an emergency were given
at the War Department to-day Gen
eral Scott, chief of staff, announced
that 18,565 troops now constitute the
border patrol.
General Pershing has about 12,000
men in Mexico, including those hold
ing his line of communication.
How greatly the mobile army has
been drawn upon for the Mexican
expedition and border service was also
disclosed by General Scott, lie esti
mated that only four thousand troops
remain in the United States, not en
gaged on the border.
Use "Gold" Grounds Over
and Over; Trooper Pays
Dollar For Cigaret
Pershing's Camp at the Front in
Mexico, April 8, by aeroplane and
motor truck to Columbus, N. M., April
10. Gold is the word which has
been adopted along this front to de
scribe coffee. A teaspoon of coffee
wljl buy more than a gold coin, and
the rich color of the coffee, enhanced
by its scarcity, has fixed the nickname
firmly for this campaign.
An officer at tills camp to-day, deal
ing out the day's coffee ration to a sol
dier, advised him to save his coffee
grounds for second boiling in case of
.temporary delay in the arrival of
new supply trains.
"I save mine," said the officer.
"How many times do you use the
same grounds?" he was asked.
"One set of grounds I used eleven
times," he replied. "The last few
times I was just drinking suggestion,
but it kept me happy."
Another officer offered one dollar
gold for a cup of well used coffee
grounds and his bid was refused.
Dollar For Cigaret
Tobacco is the only article which
has approached coffee in the exag
gerated value which this campaign has
placed on a few ordinarily common
place commodities. One soldier who
was "flush" with coffee, sold a tea
spoonful for three cigaret papers.
Reports coming from the southern
area of this front, where the swiftly
moving "point" of the American ex
pedition is penetrating new territory
faster than supplies can be forwarded
for the men. to-day brought new high

Trooper Lives Among: Vlllaistas
One negro trooper has discovered
that it is not necessary fatal to be left
alone in Villa territory. The trooper
for some reason, possibly as discipline,
was dismounted when on April 1 his
command ran into a party of Villa
soldiers concealed behind rocks at
Aguascalientes. north of Guerrero.
When the Villa men opened fire the
American troops went at them so fast
that the dismounted man was left
completely behind. When the chase
of the bandits had ended his comrades
were literally over the mountain and
miles away.
The trooper hunted a Mexican
farmhouse where he obtained a meal.
For two days he lived alone among
Mexicans in a community said to be
tilled with Villa's friends. On the
third days he was picked up by an
other command of the negro regiment
to which he belonged.
Mexico Will Have U. S.
Protectorate Is Prediction
Sfecial to the Telegraph
Washington, April 11. Professor
Albert Bushnell Hart, of Harvard
University, predicted in an address be
fore the Navy League of the United
States yesterday afternoon that within
five years Mexico will be a depend
ency of this country. He said:
"I should be willing to risk my
reputation, which I have not yet ac
quired as a political prophet, by say
ing that within five years the so
called republic of Mexico will be to
the United States in the same status
as the republic of Cuba, that is, that
it will be an independent republic un
der the benevolent superintendence of
the United States, that there will be
something resembling the Piatt
amendment."
COUNCIL'S FAULT IF
NYMPHS FAIL TO DANCE

man notified the city fathers that the
insurance premium on "Chocolate
King" Hershey's lovely gift to Hnr
risburg expires on April 24. The
policy calls for $20,000.
Council's "I jit tie Movement"
Mr. Neal suggested that the policy
be renewed for a year at a cost of
$230 and that if the statues were not
confined for a whole year, the city
could reclaim the difference.
Whereupon the Council of Pennsyl
vania's City Beautiful" started a
modern little dance all its own —it
side-stepped.
At the suggestion of Commissioner
Gorgas the city fathers lay the matter
over for a week.
In the meantime the commissioners
with the possible exception of Messrs.
Lynch and Gorgas, were willing to
make suggestions as to what should
be done about it. And here are some
of the chuckled suggestions for sav
ing the cost of insurance:
Store 'em in one of the new deten
tlcn cells at police headquarters.
Store 'em a-top of the concrete
cover of the Oak Knob reservoir.
Stand 'em up at the Twenty-first
street entrance to Reservoir until the
city can find funds to place the foun
tain at the site on the River Front
at'ithe foot of Locust street as chosen
by the "art commission."
Estimates as to the cost of placing
the splendid masterpiece of Donato
as made by the sculptor himself placed
the cost at $4,500. If it cost more
than that to erect a permanent foun
tain that would add to the beauty of
the water front, he promised to un
dergo the excess expense himself.
But, Council to-day sadly shook Its
head and declared that for the life
of it, it couldn't see where it could
dig up the $4,500.

EXPORT OF PAPER

printing out of the domestic, trade
that uncertain and prohibitive prices
are now the rule. Here are some ex
amples: .
One of the first elements of news
paper printing to feel the pressure of
war demands was the metal supply.
I-ead is produced chiefly in the United
States, but the foreign demand has
been far stronger than the domestic
market, and lead has jumped from
$4.25 per hundred weight before the
war to $7.25 this week.
The tin used in type metal is to a
great extent, under English control,
and is exported only with the permis
sion of the British Government. In
1914, block tin was quoted In New
York at an average price of S4O. To
day, limited quantities of the same
tin bring $55 in hundred-pound lots.
Antimony, the hardening constituent
of type metal, is also used in shrap
nel and in the asphyxiating gases used
by the belligerents. The most care
fully smelted varieties of this metal
came from Europe before the war, and
were quoted at $8 to $9 per hundred
weight. The present supply is being
Imported from the Far East, because
the European metal is unobtainable,
and is priced about $44.
Stereotype metal, leather belting,
printing rollers, «lue, wool blankets,
stereotype blankets, gum arable, wrap
ping paper, twine, soft coal and every
other item are up. Type founders'
supplies have advanced twenty per
cent, and news ink that sold in 1914
for SBO now costs SIOO.
