GIPPLE 1251 MARKET STREET BELL PHONE 1259 REAL ESTATE WORK STARTED ON NEW BOAS STORE Old Landmark Being Razed to Provide Site For Big, Modern Building Razing of the old Gutilius property, 28 North Second street, one of the city's landmarks, has been started to provide a site for the new home of the jewelry business of C. Ross Boas, now located at 214-216 Market street. The contract for erection of the pro posed store has been awarded to W. S. Miller, a local builder, and work on the new structure will be pushed to an early completion. The proposed store of the Boas firm, when completed, will be one of the largest and most modern, Jewelry stores In Central Pennsylvania. The building will be of brick, concrete, steel .and terra cotta construction. It will be two stories high but so high will be the ceilings of each floor that the entire building will be higher than the average three-story structure. With a frontage of 25 feet on Second street, the building will have a depth of 70 feet. The front of the proposed store will be of an elaborate design. Around the entrance and the display wlndotvs there will be figures In genuine cast bronze instead of the copper sheeting or tin forms usually used. The inter ior will be in keeping with the elabor ateness of the front. On the first floor there will be one large display room for watches, small jewelry and silverware. The show cases will be of modern design and arranged to give the best display ef fects. An automatic elevator will carry customers to the second floor where another largo display room and work shop will be located. The floors will be of semlmezznalne. This second-floor display room will be devoted to the stock of clocks, china and larger articles of jewelry. Plans for the store were drawn by C. Howard Lloyd, a local architect. In the razing of the Gutelius home stead, another Harrisburg landmark gives way to the marching business improvement. For years this little two-story frame structure has been conspicuous by its presence between two larger business places. For a number of years the building was oc cupied by a notion store conducted by Miss Jennie Gutelius. The new store will be occupied en tirely by the jewelry business of the Boas firm which will move from its present location at 214-216 Market street just as soon as the new store is completed. Urges Planting of Flowers on All Vacant City Ground The planting of flowers and shrub bery on all the vacant ground in the city is urged by Backenstoss Bros., local real estate brokers, who offer free several plots of ground under their supervision for such purposes. Said a member of the firm to-day: "The Real Estate Brokers of Har risburg have under their supervision a vast amount of vacant ground on which the weeds are allowed to grow to a great height. This is not only unsightly and a detriment to the com munity, but it Is unhealthful and has caused our health authorities great annoyance in the past. Why not beautify these spots by granting per mission to the Civic Club, or kindred societies, to grow flowers thereon. For instance, lay the ground out in beds and allow the school children a certain number of feet on which to grow their favorite flower. It might be well to offer prizes for the pret tiest. beds. We are of the opinion that such an arrangement would make Harrisburg a veritable garden spot. This lirm is ready at any time to grant such permission on several large tracts of land In the city now under their control."

Shreiner Believes Harrisburg Real Estate Dae For Increase That real estate values in Harris burg are due for a brisk recovery, is the opinion of George A. Shreiner, a local builder and real estate man. Said Mr. Shreiner; real estate market has, during the past few months, passed the low water level. The average professional trader as well as the better informed layman is of the opinion that the low-priced real estate of a few months ago has gone and is not to return for some time, if it ever does come back. The underlying conditions are firm, and with a most promising outlook for good business. "The labor turmoil has been a dis quieting factor but as the questions causing strife between capital and la bor are not wholly based on matters of compensation, tbey should be dis posed of satisfactorily, without serious interference, thus leaving real estate to take a natural trend. There is at the present time a great demand for houses to rent and fortu nate, indeed, are the men securing vacant houses."

Sept. 30.—Charles h. Huber, vice-president and general manager of the and Wilkes- Barre Coal Company, was the onlv one of the big anthracite operators to be called bclore the commission named by Governor Brumbaugh to inquire into the increased cost of coal. Mr. Huber denied there was a com bination of anthracite interests that fixed the prices of coal. He said he was in absolute control of the prices fixed by his company and denied that he was controlled by any operators selling agencies or other interests. Several of the independent operators called before the commission said the reason for the increased cost in Phila delphia is that most of the coal is shipped to a definite consignee and a particular grade of coal is invariably demanded. It was also said by these smaller operators that New York is the genera) dumping ground for the anthracite fields, and that any sort and grade of coal can be disposed of there. The compensation law by forcing the purchaso of safety devices has Increased the cost of production 8 cents per ton, according to the op erators. The eight-hour work, it is alleged, has brought about an addi tional Increase amounting to 45 cents per ton. These increases in produc tion coat left no other alternative than to increase the cost to the consumer, t ho operators said. PARALYSIS 'AT TARRVTOWN Tarrytown, N. Y..

CLEAN FEDERAL BLDG. GRANITE Shrubbery to Be Planted Around Remodeled Post Office , ' Considerable progress Is now be ing made upon the remodeling of th* Federal building. This undertaking has been greatly delayed from time to time owing to changes of specifi cations, waiting for Increased appro-* priatlons and other things. It is expected that the addition will be un der roof within the next few weeks and the winter will be given over to completing the interior changes. Many persons have been asking whether the granite of the old build ing will be cleaned so as to conform with the new section and it is un derstood that this, of course, will be done. As the only Federal structure in the city it is not likely that the older part of the building will be al lowed to remain in its present State so far as the exterior appearance is concerned. Postmaster Sites stated to-day that provision will be made for shrubbery along the raised coping on the Locust and Court street sides of the prop erty. This will conform with the rest of the grounds and maintain the at tractive features of the landscape in Federal Square and the Capitol Park. It is understood that provision will bo made for the ornamental light ing around the building in harmony with the standards on the Third and Walnut street sides of the building.

MYSTERY OF SHAPSHOT STIRS COURTROOM [Continued from First Pa gel picture when discussing Miss Albright's snap shot of Mrs. Lenney and himself. He said he found the snap shot in a picture frame and understood that it hud been snapped of Miss Albright. From the fleeting glimpse that was had as it was passed around, somehow there seeir.ed to be something about it that was more than ordinarily at tractive. "As. for that picture that was shown yesterday," suggested Cunningham in the course of his story, "that doesn't mean anything. I've got another pic ture here. I'll give it to you"—he pulled it from his pocket. Not Evidence? "Never mind, never mind," hastily interposed Mr. Geyer, "that isn't in evidence." "How do we know it isn't?" sud denly interjected President. Judge Kunkel. ' Let us see it." And when Cunningham passed up the snap shot the court smiled broadly and passed It down to the attorneys. They all grinned and there was a quiet, but concerted crowding of other law yers within the bar railing. But Mr. Geyer grimly nut it in his pocket. Tlie Defense The cast) went to the Jury this after noon after both Mrs. Lenney and Cun ningham h.?d testified. Their stories seemed to interlock to aT. In effect it was that Cunningham, a railroader, had come home unexpectedly and found that his bed was being occupied by Mrs. Lenney. There was an under standing at the apartment house that Cunningham's room could be used by Mrs. lenney, who helped with the housework, when the railroader was away on business., Cunningham said he was just approaching his bed, un knowing that it had another occupant, when Lenney entered the room with the lighted match. Before the State Closed The State closed Its case against Mrs. Lenney and Cunningham shortly before the afternoon adjournment yes terday. The biggest crowd of the week filled No. 1 courtroom. Interest centered about the State's two pretty witnesses, Misses Ruth and Maude Albright, telephone operators, who occupied apartments on the floor where Cunningham's room was lo cated. It was on their story of how they had watched Mrs. Lenney go into that room that the State depended largely to Impress the jury. The courtroom listened rather breathlessly to the efforts of Attorney John R. Gever, of counsel for the State, as he figuratively took the Jury up the stairs of the darkened apart ment house with Lenney and Aaron Schneidman. a youthful "operative" of the White detective agency. It was about 3 o'clock one morning In June, according to Schneidman; he told how as Lei.ney and himself had suddenly stepped in Cunningham's room and lit matches they discovered the two de fendants.
