V/ in The present crane for high colors' denotes an all white season is the I prediction of many fashion authorities ; and already the vogue of white foot- I wear is established for the Spring sea- i son. One of the smartest boots in 1 white kid is shown at the Walk-Over | Boot Shop. 226 Market street in a last of exceptional beauty. It is cut j very high with a wide curve at the lop giving it an appearance entirely j different from the boots of last season while its grace and beauty make if distinctively charming. A special; tinish In the sole gives it especially i good wearing qualities which are in- J valuable in a boot that must be fre- ! quently cleaned. HARMONY In planning for the spring renova- ; tion one naturally thinks first of the appearance of the hall or reception j room, for it is important that the! treatment of the hall be not only hos- j pitable. dignified and gracious but also ! in perfect harmony with the rest of I the house. With so many factors to be considered the choice of an ap- • propriate wall covering might be did- ! cult, but at the A. B. Tack Wall Paper | Shop, 1216 North Third street, so many correct designs are shown tliat it is easy to select Just the right one. For instance I saw there a beautiful paper in an indistinct foliage design in soft neutral tones, which would adapt Itself admirably to the artistic treatment of the hall. 432 MARKET STREET STE C I A L S FOR THURSDAY, MARCH 8-17 FRESH 1 ' HAMBURG STEAK Mb. 1 LttC FANCY 1 A n CHUCK ROAST•! lb.

THE BABY'S IJMOUSINE There are automobile shows every year, why not baby-carriage shows? Perhaps it is because the display of Blocli baby-coaches and go-carts at the Goldsmith Store, North Martlet Square, Is so complete that It leaves nothing to be desired and the name Bloeh is In itself a guarantee of the excellence of any pex-ambulator so labeled. The Goldsmith Store offers some especially pretty models in gondola coaches. Paramount Pullman sleepers, some with the new military hoods, finished in either gray, white or Ivory enamel, and equipped with the most modern devices for insuring the safety and the comfort of the "precious wee thing" it carries. QUALITY AND PRICE We are so used to thinking of the Studebaker Grocery Store (Mr. George Barnes) Second street at the crossing of State, as a store of quality, that vc fail to realize sometimes that we often get there products of highest qualify at especially low prices. They olTer a special brand of cotfee at 32c a pound which is known as the Stude baker Special, and if you have not yet tried it you will want to test It, for it is not only superior to the ordinary 32c coflee, but even better in flavor and strength than many coffees sell ing at 35c and 40c. Studebakers also make a special rate of 10 lbs. for a saving, which the careful house keeper will take advantage of, in these days of high prices.

NEXT CONGRESS MAY BE FREE OF PARTY LINES Big Parties Will Get Together to Prevent Filibusters From Gaining Control Washington. March 7. Bi-parti san organization of the Incoming House, with Champ Clark as speaker and the committee memberships and patronage equally divided, is being discussed by Democratic and Repub lican leaders as a possibility In the event the live independent members hold up public business in the next Session by attempting to dictate how the House shall be organized. The independents thus far have de clined to align themsolves with either of the big parties and have held sev eral secret caucuses. If they vote as a unit, as it now appears they may, they can delay business In the House just as long as party lines are maintained. At least neither Democrat nor Repub licans will have more than 215 party I members, and 218 are required to elect a speaker, except by special agree | incut. No Party Lines In case of a deadlock, many Demo crats and Republicans believe it would be their patriotic duty in the face of an international crisis to break down party lines regardless of political for tunes. The desire of the House to keep its record clear of any charge of tying President Wilson's hands as the Senate did is expected to play a big part in converting members to the bi partisan proposal. It is a House boast that a large mapority of its member ship always has stood behind the President In the many crises of the last three years. Virtually every leader of Importance on either side has been sounded for his views on the bi-partisan plan, and no vigorous opponent of it as a last resort has been found. Republican Leader Mann is quoted as saying re cently at a dinner to retiring New York members of the House that he had rather see bi-partisanship of the House than to see it controlled by a small band of "filibusters." Republicans to Help Some Republicans who have been arguing that their party should not as sume control of the House with a big preparedness debt facing them greet the bi-partisan plan very heartily. They insist that in such unusual times as the preesnt it would be only fair for both parties to share equally the bar gain of making a debt that was con tracted on insistence of both parties. Discussion of bi-partisan plans to be put forward in an emergency does not mean, however, that the majority of either party is preparing to desert Its light for control of the House. Each side is hopeful that a majority or all of the five independents will be converted to its cause. Democrats learned with pleasure to day that contrary to precedents in New York, Governor Whitman prob ably soon will '■call a special election for the selection of a successor to the late Representative Conry, Democrat, who came from a strong Tammany district.

BURNS MEN STUDY SHIRK MYSTERY Dcleclivcs to Aid Lebanon Au thorities in Clearing Up Attorney's Death Lebanon, Pa., March 7. —Bprns de tectives are here to aid District At torney Adams, in his investigation of the death of Howard C. Shirk, bank president i.nd leader of the county bar, who was found shot to death on the third floor of his office building last Wednesday. It is understood that * Burns operative has gone to New 1 ork to trace the movements of a former resident of this city, who is known to have held Shirk responsible for large (inancial losses. With District Attorney Adams hold ing to the theory that Shirk was mur dered, and the Coroner, Dr. John Light, insisting that the banker end ed his life, little light was thrown upon the mystery to-day. It developed', however, that "there will be no in quest and it was also said it would be practically impossible tb exhume the body of Shirk for further examina tion because it was placed In a bur glar-proof casket, which could be opened only by the use of dynamite. Frank S. Becker, vice-president of the Lebanon National Bank, of which Shirk was the president, said yester day that no search had been made for Shirk's will. He also announced that the death of Shirk would have no ef fect upon the consummation of the $6,000,000 steel merger which he had engineered for account of the Ameri can Iron and Steel Company, the Lackawanna Steel Company and the Bethlehem Steel Company. Becker, asked to-day if the ldenti catlon of the pistol with which Shirk was killed as the bank property con vinced him that Shirk was a suicide, replied that he was at. sea as to the solution of the mystetry. "Circumstances," he said, "point to murder; circumstances also point to suicide. I do not know what to be lieve. I am awaiting developments."

M.^ of that belief now as she was on Sunday and, in fact, uccording to re ports here, employed the detectives who are now working upon the case. The police maintain Shirk ended hi* life, it apparently is impossible to convince them c H any other possibil ity. Mayor Sprang to-day declared the police reported to him that they could find nothing to substantiate the murder theory, notwithstanding the facts which have been made public by Mrs. Shirk in reference to the po sition of the body, the two bullets and the two pools of blood. The Mayor declared he had Inform ed the police they should do every thing possible to aid Mr. Adams, and he asserted that no official of tlio county would be powerful enough to block the District Attorney's Investi gation. Because of the conflict between the officials Mr. Adams Is hampered In his investigation. Ho is tied up in criminal court this week and there fore cannot take personal charge of the Investigation. The Coroner has announced he sees no reason to change the certificate of death which was is sued giving suicide as the cause. The police are Inactive and therefore, un less some startling evidence Is dis covered by the detectives employed, there probably will be no develop ments . until Adams lias opportunity to take personal charge of the case. Dr. E. H. Gingrich, who perform ed the autopsy, still holds to the the ory of murder, and has even gone so far as to intimate that gunmen may have been sent here to murder Shirk. This, however, is considered far-fetch ed by Mrs. Shirk's friends. George M. Harry leaves to-morrow for a week's stay in New York. While there he will be the guest of John K. Tenet*. Miss Nancy E.
