E. Z. Wallowor, president: William T. Hlldrup, Jr., vice-president: Ed ward I>. McColgln, secretary: War wick M. Ogelsby, treasurer; Edward Bailey, J. William Bowman. Hender son Gilbert, Edwin S. Herman, Wil liam Jennings, E. J. Stackpole, A. C. Stain m, David E. Tracy and Samuel Kunlcel. "After an extended competition, W. L. Stoddart, of New York City, who has had large experience In hotel designing, was selected as architect, in collaboration with Messrs. Esen weln & Johnson, of Buffalo. Plans and specifications were made for a hotel contemplating structural steel, when bids wefe requested from prominent contractors. "The extreme difficulty In securing deliveries and rapid Increase In prtce of labor and materials, created acute conditions In the building trade early in the present year. Instead of an estimated cost of $600,000 or $650,000 for the building, the bids received were $1,200,000 and above. "Radical measures were necessary Lo secure the hotel and keep Its cost vrlthln the flnnnelnl limits ot the compnnyi suggestions Were made to delay the project fotf several years, or until prices and conditions were more nomial. This was regarded as fatal to the enterprise. The urgent necessity of the city, accentuated by the conversion of the Commonwealth hotel lntb an office building, placed an additional responsibility on the directors of the hotel company. Afc.iin it was believed that a delay of sov eral years would destroy thfe Intltla tivo and enthusiasm of thKcitlisens, and that It would be not impossible to again revive the pro ject if delayed. Tl>o architects were brought Into consultation with the directors nnd Instructed to revise their plans and again secure bids. "An Important change In the plans was the substitution of reinforced concrete for structural steel! the as sembly hall was omitted for tho pres ent, and other changes made In the plans and specifications, with a view to reduction In cost. Messrs. Nelson & Lewln, of Chicago, who had Just secured the contract for the new 400-room, reinforced concrete hotel In Washington, and thoroughly fa miliar with this type of construction, were the successful bidders. Their bid was SBOB,OOO, with a reduction of $52,000 for the omission of the power plant, a satisfactory contract having been made with the Power Company for heat, light and power; thus making the cost of the building $756,000, within the limits of ability to construct on the part of the hotel company, although about SIOO,OOO in excess of tho or iginal' estimated cost under normal conditions. "The board of directors felt grati fied that they were able to carry out their plans and make possible the construction of the much-needed hotel. The changes made by the architects to reduce the cost from the first prohibitive bids are not of such nature as to interfere with the harmony, beauty and efficiency ot tho building. The plans and specifi cations are of such modern and ad vanced type that the Penn-Harris will be decidedly the latest word in hotel architecture and superior to any in the state, outside of Pitts burgh and Philadelphia. It will be necessary to secure SIOO,OOO addi tional capital to that originally sub ' - r I: fPi|Rr' fiARRISBURG TELEGKXPBC scribed, but your directors confi dently expert to secure this addi tional amount when needed. Company Protected "The necessary contract and bond for the protection of the company was prepared by tho attorney of the company, J, E. B. Cunningham, which also protects the company from loss as a result of the accident to the contractors by which the ad joining building collapsed and fell into the cellar excavation. "Before the plans and specifica tions were prepared and adopted, ef forts were made to secure a lessee for the hotel. In order that the building might be constructed with A view to economical operation, In accordance with the views of the operating com pany. A satisfactory lease or con tract Was made with Frank A. Dud ley, president of the United Hotels Company, successfully operating first-class hotels, among which are the following: \ * The Ten Eyck, Albany, N. Y.: the Utlca, Utica, N. Y.i the Tutwller, Birmingham, Ala.; tho Jefferson, Peoria, 111.; the Robfert Treat, New ark, N. J.; the Seneca, Bochester, N. Y.; the Onondaga, Syracuse, N. Y.; the Lawrence, Erie, Pa.; Boyal Con naught, Ontario; the Nonotuek, Hol yoke, Mass.; the Devonshire, Toron to, Canada; the Bancroft, Worcester, Mass. "The terms of lease comprehend thr, payment to tho stockholders of the Harrlsburg Hotel Company of 6 per cent, per annum for the first Ave years, If earned, with a minimum of 4 per cent.; and seven per cent, defi nite, per annum, after live years. In addition the hotel company will re ceive 49 per cent, of the not earningß art the operating company. This lease is considered a most favorable and exceptional one In the Interest of tho stockholders of this oompany. The lease also provides that the operating Company shall pay all charges, in cluding Insurance, taxes and main tenance, so that the rental Will be net to the Harrlsburg Hotel Com pany. "To carry out the provisions of the lease an operating company was formed with a capital of $400,000, fifty-one per cent, of which will bo owned and held by tho United Hotels Company, and forty-nine per cent., without cost for same, will be owned by the HarrlsburK Hotel Company and held in tho treasury, the earn ings of whjch will accure to and add to the earnings from the leaso of the building. The United Hotels Com pany will furnish $50,000 for work ing capital to tho operating company (tho Penn-Harrls) which will be represented by preferred stock and take precedence ns to earnings of the operating company. The furnish ing of the hotel will be at the ex pense of the Harrisburg Hotel Com pany, not to exceed $160,000 and will be also a charge as rental against the operating company. "The estimated cost of the build ing and site (the latter costing $230,- 000) will be about $1,050,000, which, with the cost of furnishing will make a total of about $1,200,000. The orig inal plan, as later carried out, was to raise $500,000 by the issue of five per cent, bonds. A very satisfactory arrangement was made with the Commonwealth Trust Company, by which it takes the entire issue at par, less one per cent, for handling the bonds, thus placing the entire amount to the credit and at the dis posal of the company. Due notice was given the stockholders, who con vened and authorized the issue of the bonds and the performance of necessary measures In connection with the loan. The necessary mort gage was prepared and approved by thp board of directors, embodying the terms ofproposal of the Com monwealth Trust Company. The au thorized capital stock of the com pany was also increased from $600,- 000 to $750,000. "The depth of excavation and the rock encountered caused some delay In the preliminary progress of the work, after the contract was exe cuted. Messrs. Nelson & Lewin, however, have now a well-perfected organization, and rapid progress is being made. The second story, which includes the lobby, longue, dining room and kitchen is being "poured" this week. The contractors plan to complete one story each week, and unless weather conditions are very severe, expect the building to be un der roof early in January. While the building proper will be reinforced concrete, the outside will be of tapes try brick, with recessed Joints. The first three stories will be granite. Tho design will be of pleasing effect and it is to be hoped vflil meet the approval of the stockholders. The work of construction of an eleven story concrete building, the framing of tho floors and columns, and the pouring of the concrete will prove in teresting to the stockholders who make a visit of Inspection from time to time. , "Any information desired will be gladly afforded at any time by the officers and directors." POOR BOARD BAD HUNTING GROUND [Continued from First Page.] badly snarled condition and it Is said the retiring clerk was so woefully out of touch with his own account ing "system" that he was ready and willing to accept the balance struck by the county controller and made little effort to reach a balance for himself. The incoming Republican direc tors found hundreds of heads of cabbage frozen and wasted in the gardens adjoining the county home, eertaip of the apartments filthy be yond description, much meat ut terly spoiled, sickening odors per vading the place and the morale of the Inmates very bad indeed. Radi cal reforms were instituted and it is beyond the understanding of Re publicans why the Democratic bosses should be stirring up this | stench against, their own party. Pass Is Popular Charles E. Pass, the Republican candidate for prothonotary, Is the man under attack and he has such a big lead over his Democratic op ponent that tho object in centering the campaign on him is difficult to see. Pass was elected poor director bv the largest majority ever given a candidate for the office up to that time and he is well known all over the county, being one of the county's most popular public speakers. His friends predict that he will carry both city and county by majorities that will approach his big vote for poor director. The Republican contest Is going well all over the county. The can didates are making a quiet canvass this week and are meeting with pledges of support everywhere. In the city the councilmanlc con test is livening up, with the Demo crats playing both ends of the Re publican wing against the middle in an effort to elect a council as friendly as possible to the Demo cratic bosses, and calling both Repub publican candidates for Mayor, Al derman Hoverter and Daniel L. Keister hard names. Running true to form the subsidized organ of the local bosslets dubs both Republicans unflK material for Mayor, but Re publicans and voters at large have grown so used to this sort of cam paigning that it Is making little headway. BRIDAL BOOTHS AWAIT SOLDIERS Willing to Pay Nice Sum to Say "I Do" by Long Distance New York, Nov. I.—Four privates at Camp Mills will be married by long distance telephone as soon as they can arrange to have their pros pective brides got the licenses. They will pay telephone fees ranging from sls to $25 for each three minutes of ceremony, and each carries from SIO,OOO to $20,000 life Insurance which he wants the only girl to have in case of casualties. The four soldiers, each Ignorant of the Intention of the others, entered the office of Town Clerk Franklin Gilbert at Hempstead Village yester day within an hour of each other. Tho first arrival was a ranch owner from Kansas. "Understand you can get married over the telephone hero," the Kansas remarked. "Heard about Lieuten ant Taylor marrying a (.eorgia girl that way. My trouble's worse, though. Was to have married my girl on the afternoon of the day I was ordered away. Had everything all fixed when 1 learned we must leave and she couldn't get ready in time." Another prospective bridegroom was from San Francisco. He Is in the Engineer Corps, and said he didn't mind oaying $25 to say, "Hel lo, Frisco" If his girl would answei* the call. The other two were from Louisiana and Minnesota, and all are eager to get the ceremony performed before they start for France. The young men left the Town Clerk's office to begin negotlaUons by telegraph. As soon as they are notified that the licenses are ready they will walk Into their bridal tele phone booths. Asked for names, the soldiers replied, "Nothing doing until after marriage."

Every denomination in the city as well as every church was represented, the program being ar ranged by the Harrlsburg Ministerial Association. "Luther: liberty and Loyalty," was the keynote of the evening. Pro fessor John Duncan Spaeth of Princeton, who took this slogan as his subject, saying: Like the shot of the minutemen at Lexington," he asserted, "so the hammerblows of the Saxon monk on the church door at Wittenberg, were destined to be heard and are heard, by all tlie world."
