capital $20,000, was approved to-day.
No RebaUng.—An opinion to the
effect that no rebating or other pro
cedure which would give an advan
tage in writing insurance is permitted
■under the act of 1913 was given to
day to Insurance Commissioner O'Neil
by Deputy Attorney General Hargest.
It appears that a casualty company
desired to give its stockholders insur
ance at less rates than other policv
bolders holding that the clause "not
specified in the policy" could be in
voked. "If this proviso were con
strued to permit any rebates or agents*
commissions, earnings, profits or divi
dends to be given to any one insured,
provided it be specified in the policy
the whole intention of the act would
be nullified." says Mr. Hargest. "The
Intention of the Legislature was to
provide against all special induce
ments of every kind. It was not in
tended to permit inducements to be
given with impunity merely by insert
ing them In the policy contract, to one
Insured while denying the same in
ducements to another "

REAL ESTATE
WEAVER'S STORE
WILL MOVE SOON
City's Oldest Confestionery to
Seek New Location; Long
at Same Stand
When Weaver's Confectionery re
moves from its present location at 24
North Third street to a room now
being refitted at 29 North Second
street, it will mean the removal of
the oldest established business in
Third street.
Prior to and during the Civil War
there stood at the corner of Third
and Strawberry avenue a wagon
maker's shop owned by R. J. Flem
ing who in 1865 built the present Col
lege Block, at that time the most
imposing business building in the
city. The first business to occupy the
new structure was a confectionery
store started in 1566 by John Wise
who, after a short time was succeed
ed by Gardner and Sayford and they
conducted the store for about two
years when it was taken over by
Samuel M. Sayford himself.
In Mr. Sayford's employ was a
young man, John S. Weaver by name,
who was destined later on to be the
owner of the store. On January 21,
1873, Mr. Weaver formed a partner
ship with Alpheus T. Hubley, a young
drygoods clerk, under the name of
Weaver & Hubley and they continued
the business without change until the
death of Mr. Hubley on January 13,
1907 when Mr. Weaver purchased his
partner's entire interest from Mr.
Hubley's estate and after making sev
eral thousand dollars worth of im
provements, conducted the store until
the time of his death on March 17,
1915.
The business was then bought by
E. F. Weaver, a nephew of the for
mer owner, who admitted as a part
ner J. Gilbert Aldinger, continuing
urtder the name of Weaver's Confec
tionery.
Three generations of Harrisburg
! folks have bought their fancy cakes,
: pastry and confections from this old
I established store, the older people
I remembering the toothsome cakes
1 and dainties made by Louis Ebel, the
j head baker for more than twenty
I years. John P. Aldinger, the pres
i ont head baker was an apprentice of
! Mr. Ebel and has been in the employ
of the house for more than thirty
! years, and has at present two assist
jnnts in the bakery where the delicious
pies, cakes and pastry are made fresh
j every day for the many patrons of
j the place.
In addition to the new store in
Second street which •will be ready for
ocupancy in the course of a few
weeks a. branch store has been open
ed at 1720 North Third street to sup
ply the uptown trade with fresh
goods every morning.
Paul Voorhees to Build New
Residence at Bellevue Park
Plans have been completed for a
handsome residence for Paul Voor
hees, resident engineer for the Phila-
I delphia and Reading Railroad, to be
j erected at Bellevue Park.
Mr. Voorhees recently purchased a
! plot of ground in Chestnut street,
I near Twenty-second street. Bellevue
I Park, and the building plans have
been drawn by Architect M. I. Kast,
222 Market street.
The new home will be a two-and-a
half-story gay brick structure of
thoroughly modern construction. A
single-story brick garage will also be
erected in the rear of the new resi
dence.
Estimates are now being taken on
the work and it will be started short
ly.

creasing cost of food by placing an

Chicago Housewives Plan
to Combat Increases in
the Price of Foodstuffs
Chicago, Sept. 22.—Housewives of
Chicago were called upon to-day to
attend a mass meeting at which or
ganization will be perfected to fight
increases in the prices of foodstuffs.
The announcement that bread is
to be advanced from Ave to six cents
a loaf, resulted in the call for the
meeting. Miss Florence King, presi
dent of the Woman's Association of
Commerce, under whose auspices the
meeting is to be held, urged that
housewives boycott dealers or refuse
to purchase supplies wheh have been
advanced in price.
"Men are interested In buying and
selling for a profit. It is therefore
folly to expect them to take any
action," the call reads. "Women must
put a stop to unwarranted increases
and we alone can stop them."

Seven Defendants
Should you have been phoning an
order to Bowman's department store
about 2:30 o'clock this afternoon and
were suddenly cut off by the operator,
this will explain why.
Just at that time an employe of
the store lit a match and touched off
an oil-soaked cushion in the alley at
the rear of the big store. A second
later the trim little Miss at the in
formation bureau a few feet away
noticed the flames and called the
store's central operator.
Less than another second all con
nections on the exchange were rip
ped down and the girl at the switch
board busily "plugged" up sixteen
lines leading to as many phones on
tho six floors of the big building.
These lines reached as many members
of Bowman's volunteer fire squad.
As each man responded to the in
sistent telephone, the girl at the
switchboard in a cool voice informed,
"Fire, rear first floor."
A few seconds later, or just one
minute and a half after the lire was
lighted, ten big fire extingutsners were
rushed out into the rear alley by as
many member sof the fire squad. In
eight minutes sixteen members of the
squad made a circle around the spot
where a few second before a tire had
raged. The flames had been ex
tinguished by a stream from the ex
tinguisher carried by John Harder,
from the shipping department.
All this was the first test alarm
of Bowman's fire squad, organized to
protect the big store's patrons. It was
witnessed by Superintendent E. Z.
Gross and Chief Kindler of the City
Fire Department. Both officials were
much Impressed with the celerity in
which the firemen responded and the

was conquered.
