It is understood he will plead guilty in court next week, for which he was held in default of SI,OOO bail. With the exception of one ward robe trunk, the six suit cases, seven trunks and other baggage was all stolen from the Adams Express Com pany. This was discovered to-day when damage claims for lost trunks and other packages, in possession of the Adams Express Company were carefully scrutinized. Ailain- Express (Jockls The office stationery, pencils, etc.. were taken from express company offices. The trunks and suit, cases were removed from trucks left stand ing in the Pennsylvania railroad sta tion shed. Every article found in Randeli's possession tallied with the list of claims filed with the express company officials. The total value Was estimated at $2,000. One claim was for a seal/skin coat valued at SSOO, and was in one of the sample trunks stolen by Handell. flakes Confession Randell made a complete confes sion last night to Captain Barclay of the Pennsy police department. He claimed it was his first olTense and said that several other employes helped him get away with the trunks but he could not tell the names of the employes and was unable lo identify them last night. He also con fessed to taking several typewriters and other office furniture and sta tionery from 'the Pennsylvania rail road offices in the station building. His first theft was a slick piece of work. I" ; was in the employment bureau office for examination on the day he started to work for the Penn sylvania Railroad Company in the baggage department.

SHIPPERS PLAN MOTOR ROUTE Merchants and Manufacturers to Discuss Auto Lines 't his Evening : I A meeting of Harrisburg mer chants and manufacturers, who are receivers and shippers of package freight to and from Philadelphia and I New York, to discuss the advisa bility of a motor truck delivery sys | torn, will be held in the Chamber of | Commerce rooms to-night at S : o'clock. A representative gathering of receivers and shippers has been I assured by answers to the notices of : the meeting sent out during the. i v.'c ok by the Chamber. The purpose of the mooting is to ! discuss means for inaugurating a j Vnotor truck line between Harrisburg I and New York, as the railroad con gestion has become such that ship- I pers of medium weight packages are I finding freight conditions are seri ously impairing their business. Ow ing to the fact that the government has placed embargoes on so many lines, merchants and manufactur ers in Harrisburg, as in other cities, .•re having difliculty in shipping ami receiving their freight. The idea of shippinct by motor truck was devised | by members of the Chamber of Com merce, who feel that the project will | be a success if enough men are Sn- J terested. i The roads, while not so good for . motor shipments now, will improve in the spring and summer, and the j shippers and' receivers feel that the , project should be started at once. It has been pointed out that between New York and Philadelphia, a dis tance of ninety-four miles, motor truck freight deliveries are used ex tensively, and with success. It is felt by businessmen in this city, that if the motor truck routes be tween New York and Philadelphia are successful, there is no reason why the project cannot be accom complished here. Where the motor truck freight systems have been tried out, it has been found that the cost of delivery is about equal to the cost by rail road, and under the present condi tions, much more certain. With the advent of warm weather and bet ter highway conditions, the cost may be less, and the speed of freight shipments by motor* route quicker. HO 1,1 HAVFI.i: The police nabbed two men to-day who were arraigned afterward at the police station hearing, accused of raffling off turkeys at Moses' place, 662 Broad street.

When asked to explain how she had retained her marvelous girlish beauty she replied: That she had alwavs practiced one of the oldest French Beauty Secrets—A secret which for years was jealously guarded by the Court Ladies of Napoleon the First It consists of laying a warm cloth on the face each night before retiring for about one minute and then when the cloth Is removed, a generous amount of ordinary am-o-nlzed cocoa cream should be applied over the entire face and neck, massage it gently Into the skin with the finger tips for about two minutes, then wipe off the sur- Elus with a soft, dry cloth.

Kvery act on tho Majestic program met with approval last night, the au dience enjoying one of the best bills offered in weeks. Tho first two of ferings were the weakest on the bill, but the last three more than made up for any uninteresting part of those two acts. Miss Catherine Powell gives a series of origin: 1 dance conceptions in the opening number, including a "Spanish Eccentrique," and a "Dance of the Choruses." While these are en joyable late arrivals, prevent many from fully appreciating Miss Powell as their attention is diverted too fre quently. Hay Conlin, if comedy ven triloquist, has the ordinary : kit and was not recalled. The comedy. "Why Worry," a series of troubles at home because of I "mother-in-law," started the merri ment of the, evening. The company of three presenting this skit is suc cessful in pleasing, and the act was generously applauded. A cornet solo, irombone duet and a trio of trom bones and a cornet are the music'.l offerings of the O'Gorman Sisters. It took plenty of applause to persuade these three to give an encore of some of the old-time songs and patriotic airs, and the encore brought even more applause for them. The opera comique, "An Arabian Night," is far better than most of the kind presented here. Two of the four leading entertainers have good voices and the chorus is not the mediocre collection of girls, such as has been seen recently in similar productions. "Come, l*ove, to Me." a melodious waltz song, and "He's Uot to Have the Girls," by the Hajah and chorus, also used for the finale, are the two best musical numbers. The costumes of, the chorus' and the comedy tricks of the detective in the cast are the pleasing features. MAX ROBERTSON.
