Uptown merchants are alive to condi tions and are doing their utmost to keep prices down to the lowest levels WEDNESDAY EVENING, pleted will make possible such recom mendations as will meet with popu lar support It is understood to be the sentiment of the board that in whatever is un dertaken, the success of the under taking will depend largely upon whether the Y. M. C. A. is given the financial and personal support of a sufficient number of citizens to permit of the expansion which is still in the process of crystallization in the minds of the members'of the board. In answer to criticism of the asso ciation, Charles A. Kunkel, president of the board of directors, issued the following statement: "In answer to a recent rather public criticism of the management of the Y. M. C. A., I think it is only fair to say that those that have been most closely identified with the work for a long period of time are thoroughly conscious of the association's short comings and of its restricted oppor tunity for service to the general pub lic. We feel, however, that in view of the limited public support the asso ciation has received that we have been doing as much as could reasonably be expected under the circumstances. The service has not in any way ap proached what we would have been glad to make it if the funds had been available, but we have no source of income other tha'n our membership dues and a few individual contributions and our efforts in behalf of the public must be measured by the public's sup port. "We will gladly welcome the co operation, assistance and support of any man or body of men who care to join us in promoting the interests of a Young Men's Christian Association in this community, but we do not think a fair-minded public can rea sonably criticise us for trying to keep Harrisburg tS6& TELEGRAPH the cost of our yearly service within our yearly income, nor for not attach ing too great importance to the advice of critics who have never been suf ficiently interested in this association to contribute either of their tVmc or money even to the slight extent of paying annual dues." CITY XMAS TREE IS BIGGEST EVER [Continued From First Page] up from the Harrlsburg Railways crew of linemen to get the tree loaded on wagons. It ought to be in Harris burg by this evening." "It's the biggest tree the city has ever had," chimed in President How ard C. Fry, of the Rotary Club, who was in the party. "We found it up in Clark's Valley on the tract belonging to David Hoff man. It is a handsome specimen, measuring sixteen inches in diameter across the stump. Mr. Musser has offered to pay all the bills incident to the purchase of the tree, the bringing of it to the city and setting it up in Market Square, as well as its removal, until he came to the rescue it looked very much as if there would be no Christmas tree." The Rev. Dr. George E. Hawes, pas tor of Market Square Presbyterian Church, will read the Christmas serv ice under the tree at 9.15 Sunday evening. The change from Saturday to Sunday evening has been made at the request of many church people, who thought the program should have the distinctly religious touch which the occasion merits and who believed the crowds attending would be quieter and more orderly on Sunday evening The program, which will include selections by the Municipal band and the Moorhead chorus in costume, will be completed at a meeting of those in charge late to-day. The tree is being brought to town under the supervision of David Cun ningham, superintendent of the Zart rnan Lumber Company, and will be wired at cost by the Harrisburg Light and Power Company, which will also lend the lamps free and provide the current without cost.

"I shall name one man to take charge as special deputy in Philadel phia and one In Pittsburgh," said the commissioner. "The bonds for the Union receivership will probably be $250,000 and for the Pension SIOO,OOO. We shall take charge and do the best we can for the policyholders. The~de partment's experienced men will be in charge and we will conserve every thing wo can." The commissioner is sending out 3,500 checks for payment of half a million dollars on losses and returned premiums in the defunct American Union Fire Insurance Company which went into the hands of receivers in 1913. This dividend is 50 per cent, and illustrates the policy of the de partment to conserve. A further divi dend of from 15 to 30 per cent, may be made depending on litigation in court. The department took charge of this company under the Tener act of 1911 and named one of its men to take charge. There were no receiver's fees under this system and it will be ap plied to the Pension and Union. Two Going at Once.

TO PREVENTABUSE OF CAR RECONSIGNMENT [Continued From First Page] industry, would be seriously affected unless exempted., The meeting was attended by representatives of the Interstate Commerce Commiasion and by G. W. Anderson, United States at torney at Boston, in charge of the gov ernment's inquiry into the high cost of living. The chief topic was a method under which abuse of the reconsignment privilege could be prevented. Infor mation gathered by the railroads and interstate commerce commission oili clals is said to indicate that specula tors in foodstuffs and other necessi ties, by abuse of the reconsignment privilege, have withdrawn cars from their normal uses for unwarrantably long periods, thus contrjbuting to the car shortage and indirectly to the higher cost of living. Under existing regulations it is pos sible for speculators to ship cars to their order, reconsign them upon de livery, to other destinations and con tinue the practice indefinitely, keep ing ears in transit awaiting favorable markets and virtually using the rail roads as warehouses instead of carriers. Thousands of cars are said thuS to have been made unavailable for legiti mate shipments of manufacturers and other producers. DECEMBER 20, 1916. mMk™& s so%mkmkm&m&m*mzs&kh Yessir!
