NINTH SNOW OF YEAR HITS CITY [Continued from First Page.] yesterday was over the Gulf of Mexico. Instead of continuing east it swerved to the northeast, thus enveloping the Atlantic coast states. In the southern states the storm is in the form of rain. Mr. Domain said that if the storm continues north it will continue late into the night. If it shifts east, as he expects, the storm will be over by early after noon. Cold Weather Coming Near zero weather is reported to be in the wake of the storm.

MA DCUOOISTS Boys Have Great Winter C. A. The Y. M. C. quarters offer many unusual opportunities to boys to improve their bodies and have just plain "fun." In one of the pictures the younger boys are seen in their "gym" suits. Another shows them intent upon an evening entertainment, motion pictures regularly shown the lads. The thiftl photograph gives an idea of the rooms devoted to games and reading matter suitable for youths. The "Boys' 'Division" f tho Young Men's Christian Association, a departure at the Harrisburg Cen tral Y. M. C. A., has already proved its worth. More than a hundred boys are already enjoying member ship in this division. The boys, who in recent years have -had no privi leges aside from attending an occa sional gymnasium class, now have their own social rooms with game tables and reading matter-—just the same as the men have those features. Two rooms on the second floor of the building have been litted up with a cue-roque table, a baby size pocket billiard table, checkers, other small games, magazines and books. These quarters make most pleasant rooms for the boys. The younger boys are assigned certain periods for the use of the rooms, while at other times they are for the use of boys above the sixteen-year ago. Hours are so scheduled as to give all boys an opportunity. Adjoining the boys social rooms is the office of the secretary in charge of work for boys. Activities will be provided for all ages of boys and younger men. A class for boys as young as ten years will be organized as soon as suffi cient number of youngsters have been enrolled. Parents of boys of this age are already making appli cation for admission of their small boys into this group. Members of this class, while too young to be long to the Y. M. C. A. boys' division, will be members of the premember ship or "prep" club and as such will be given recreational gymna- WEBER NAMED TO SUCCEED OVES [Continued from lliyt Page.] Mr. Weber has been in the city treasurer's office since May, 1909, when he was given a position there by ex-City Treasurer Owen M. Cope lin. When Mr. Oves was elected city treasurer by Council in 1916 he made Mr. Weber his chief clerk. Mr. Weber said to-day he will make no changes in the office and when the big rush of water tax and city tax payments begins will employ additional clerkß. It was reported In councilmanic circles to-day that Joshua W. Swartz was to be given the post.

New Water Charges Commissioner Lynch Introduced an ordinance authorizing him to purchase two additional combina tion street sweepers and sprinklers at a cost of SB3O. Mr. Lynch said tho sweepers are a necessity because of the labor shortage. Commissioner Hasßler introduced the ordinance increasing the city water rates. The rates to domestic consumers are advanced from $4 to $6, minimum cliaTge, and ten cents for each additional 100 cubic feet over the minimum amount allowed. Manufacturing water rates are In creased two cents on each thousand sium training on each Saturday morning throughout the school year. Emphasis in the boys' work pro gram of the association, is laid on activities lor boys of twelve to eigh teen years. The whole aim of the program provided is that of pro viding all sorts of events and con tests calculated to keep the fellows busy and to develop character. Out door hikes and camping trips in sea-1 son, constructive gymnasium class-1 es and groups for Bible study, to gether with properly directed social hours form part of the means of at taining this end. While the boys' work of the Har risburg Central Association has only been opened within the past four months, a great deal has already been done toward organizing the work and laying a solid foundation for future events. Seven boys' so cials have been held, a reception to all boy scouts and one for all con tinuation school boys have been on the program, three boys' gymnasium classes are meeting regularly, seven teen delegates attended the state conference for older boys at Berwick and under the leadership of the r.ssociation Harrisburg boys have subscribed $2,000 toward the war work fund of the Y.

The manufac turing rate in the new ordinance ranges from ten cents a thousand gallons when less than 10,000 gal lons Is used daily, to four and one half cents, a thousand for 200,000 gallons or more daily. The old rates ranged from eight to three and one fourth cents. Last January Commis sioner Lynch introduced an ordi nance elitninating low rates to con sumers using more than 200,000 gal lons daily. This provision was passed. Charges for hydrants, spe cial rates for persons using water from neighbor's supply, and other similar items are unchanged. Rates for building construction work re. main the same. | To Help Coal Sufferers Mayor Keister had a motion passed which will permit him to use S2OO from *the police contingent fund to pay for hiring wagons to de liver coal to families who must have a supplyirof fuel because of illness or other emergency.

Large supplies of coal were moving freely to eastern householders and trans-At lantic shipping interests today as the result of the fuel administration closing order but clearing of the rail road congestion still was hampered by unfavorable weather conditions. With manufacturing plants east of the Mississippi facing the fifth day of the shut-down and reports hero indicating that the first heatless Mon day had been strictly observed, Fuel Administrator Gartield declined to say whether an extension of the clos ing period would be necessary. "We will not cross that bridge until we come to it," Dr. Gartield said, "there will still be the nine re maining Monday holidays. Results of the operations of the closing order have been fully up to our expecta tions insofar as the weather per mitted." Officials who recently sought a railroad embargo on general freight as a means of relieving congestion, declared again that this step would have to bo taken or non-essentials denied transportation if the freight tangle is to be straightened out. Director General McAdoo declined to order the embargo it was learned, despite its recommendation by the war conference board. Y. M. C. A.

Germany should not take any territory from the Russian empire and might give back Alsace-Lorraine to France, Max imilian Harden declared in Die Sunkft. He said: "He who wishes to take away Poland, Courland, Lithu ania, Esthonla and Livonia from the Russian empire makes of this empire a mortal enemy, for Russia will not always have Leninistic feeling. These countries would bring us no advan tage. A Slavic strain through Ger many would endanger the life of the country, not merely the life of East Prussia." With regard to Alsace-Lorraine Harr Harden writes: "Neither Premier Lloyd George nor President Wilson believes Germany is willing to surrender Alsace-Lorraine to France at the present moment, but what about Germany's attitude two or three years after peace is signed, where there can be consultation with the people? It was a mistake to take possession of Alsace Lorraine. Must we always carry this burdensome in heritance of our forefathers?" PEACE FIGHT LOOMS BIG IN AUSTRIA [Continued from First Page.] influencing the Brest-Litovsk negoti ations. i The fact that the Austrian government permitted full reports of the-meeting between the lnhnr lead ers and the ministry to leave the country is considered significant. Dr. Von Seydler indicated no less ening of the demands on Russia and a German newspaper reports that unless the Russians accept the offer of the Central Powers the peace ne gotiations will be broken off. The conferences at Brest-Lltovsk have been suspended until January 29, as Foreign Minister Trotzky, head of the Russian delegation, has gone to Pe trograd for consultation with his government. Almost complete military inactivity persists on the fronts In France and j Italy. On the' Macedonian front, Bul garian troops have attacked the French positions west of the Vardar heavily. The efforts came after vio lent preparation and the Bulgarians were able to enter French trenches at only one point, from which they were thrown out immediately by Greek troops. A serious break in the en tente line west of the Vardar might have important results. Berlin re ports Bulgarian successes In patrol engagements. British political circles are discuss ing the resignation from the war cabinet of Sir Edward Carson, leader of the Ulster Unionists, on account of the Irish situation. It has been expected that the Irish convention, which has been discussing plans for home rule in Ireland, would make its report shortly.

Federal Reserve Board Emphasizes Need of War Time Economies in U. S. By Associated Press ' Washington, Jan. 22. —Effect of credit expansion on the general rise of prices, and the part the American people can play counteracting In flation by wartime economies, were omphaslzod to-day by the Federal Reserve Board in its annual report to Congress. Explaining that even though credit expansion is not entirely responsible for increase in prices, the board says, "It regards it as one of its most Im portant duties to prevent, as far as practicable, expansion of banking credit from running an uncontrolled course. "Goods and credit," Bays the re port, "must be saved the utterest of our ability in order to check the up ward movement of prices and in or der to free foF the use of the govern ment the goods and savings required for the winning of the war." The present condition of a greatly expanded currency will be improved, the board believes, "arf the public performs Its duty of absorbing the government loans out of savings." Before the third Liberty Loan, the report adds. Federal Reserve Banks must reduce thelf investments to strengthen reserves and avoid furth er expansion that has accompanied the last two Liberty Loans. The board does, not say specifically how it pro poses to do this.

The murder of the former 'ministers has created a feeling of protest and revulsion among the BolsheVik officials, who are anxious to prevent the situation from getting beyond their control. The PetrogrAd Council of Work men's and Soldiers' Delegates has adoptod a resolution of the most strict censure of the murderers, de claring It never could approve of summary justice and that no crimes had been committed by those killed. The resolution urged all soldiers to search for the murderers. A. I. Shingaroff, minister of finance In the Kerensky cabinet, and Profes sor F. F. Kohoshklne, state con troller under Kerensky, were mur dered In their beds last night in the Marine Hospital. M. Shingaroff and Professor Ko lioshkine were removed recently to the hospital from the Fortress of St. Peter and St. Paul because of Ill ness. A dozen armed men entered the hospital and demanded that they be shown the beds of the former ministers. Professor Kohoshklne was killed as he slept, two bullets being fired. M. Shingaroff wakened and protest ed. Six bullets were fired Into his body. The assassins then left the hospital. M. Shingaroff and M. Kokoshkinn were arrested by the Bolsheviki last month, notwithstanding the fact that they had been elected delegates to the Constltutent Assembly and nom inally were Immune from arrest. They were prominent members of the Constitutional Democratic (ca det) party, which Is opposed bitterly by the Bolsheviki as representative of the bourgeoisie. M. Shingaroff, an expert on Rus sian land, financial and military questions, was considered by many the ablest members of Kerensky's cabinet. Ho served as minister of aKriculture in the Lvoff cabinet, which preceded that of Kerensky, and in 1916 was a member of the Duma delegation that visited Eng land, France and Italy. He prac ticed medicine before entering ppli tlcs.
