Proclamation
Welcome. 1919.
The entrance of this New Year j
la a momentous event. It brings j
with it peace and prosperity after I
a fffng. period of bloody struggle. !
It also is accompanied by myriad J
obligations which must be ful- j
! filled.
i Many of Harrisburg's sons j
have made the supreme sacrifice
' 'on the battlefields of France. ■
Their loss Is keenly felt by all. j
However, more than the mere |
shcddlr g of tears and the wear
ing of widow weeds is necessary. '
They call upon us. the livlns. to ;
complete the noble work which !
! they have begun.
! At this minute the wise men
i from all corners of the world, re
i gardless of creed, race or color,
j are assembling in Europe for the
J purpose of framing a peace which
| will shape the future of mankind,
the happiness of human beings
and the progress of civilization.
It remains for us, the citizens '
of Harrisburg, to strive to our ut
most for the purpose of making
this city a better place in which j
to live. We owe this to our sons j
I who have given their all so that
the world might be a better plpce
of abode.
During the past year every in
dustrial plant In the city has ex
perienced unequaled prosperity.
Business was far in excess of any 1
j precedent. This condition will
continue. All avenues of , labor
and business are crowded with or
ders. There will be work for all
who desire it.
Therefore. 1. Daniel L. Keister.
Mayor of this more than patriotic
community, take this opportunity
to wish all a happy and prosper
ous New Year.
WAYWARD HUBBY
CAUSESTROUBLE
| Creates Farcical Situations in
"Parlor, Bedrom and
Bath"
Did you marry your husband be
cause of his supposed reputation for
being popular with the fair sex?
Maybe he is getting Into the same
situation as hubby in "Parlor, Bed
room and Bath." played at the Or
■ pheum last night and billed for to
day.
Some of the action in this comedy
may be a bit forced but it is enjoy
able and sure to bring a broad smile,
then a chuckle and then a continu
; ous gale of laughter, all because
hubby's friend insists he continue
in the role of the husband who is not
. true to his wife while all the time
i there was never a more devoted
. lover to his wife than this very man.
He writes letters to himself, his
, friends mixes him up in some social
: gossip and altogether he has the
time of his life keeping up the
! "bluff" just to make his wife happy
because she wants a man whom
every other woman admires but can
not win.
The first act serves an amusing
explanatory part to develop the op
portunity for the hilarity which fol
lows when the scene shifts to a par
lor. bedroom and bath at a wayside
t inn. Here is where the faithful hus-
I band, pretending he is fond of wo
men in general, makes love to an
other married one, a divorcee and a
, breezy young woman who writes so
cial gossip. He is forgiven at last
and his wife is no longer anxious
to have him enjoying flirtations with
other fair women. t

Former Secretary of War Is ;
Named Receiver bv Court
I
in Night Appointment
By Associated Press
Now York. Jan. I.—LJndley M.
Garrison, former Secretary of War,
was appointed receiver for fhe !
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company ;
and its subsidarles by Judge Mayer
in federal court last night upon ap
plication of the Westinghouse Elec
tric Company, which has a large
claim against the corporation for
sup'plies furnished it.
Col. Timothy S. Williams, presi
dent of the B. R.-T., issued a state
went tn which ho said the corpora- I
tion dtd not oppose the receivership
for it felt its interests "would be
subserved by a temporary receiver
ship."
"The immediate requirements
were for meeting January 1 obliga
tions for about $2,000,000," he
said, "and this could have been ob- j
taincd, but to complete the con- |
struction and equipment work now!
under contract, and to provide for
additional expenditures for similar
purposes during the coming year,
will require the raising of many mil
| lions more, and the general situa- I
tion affecting street railroads, with I
their stationary fares and rising!
costs, bad injured their credit and j
made impossible up to the present |
[ time provision for the investment of |
fresh capital."
Charges that the Brooklyn Rapid !
Transit Company employed "spies" j
and that agents of the company used '
b ackjacks in efforts to prevent!
unionization of the compahy's em- '
ployes. were made by witnesses at a )
hearing before Carlton Ogburn, ex-1
aminer for the National War iJabor I
Board of complaint filed by dis
! charged employes.
The traction company was repre- i
sented at the hearing by M. B. Hoff- j
man. an attorney. He announced !
the company did not recognize t'fil* |
War Labor Board's authority to i
take up the employe question and \
; that he was-present merely to "give;
j the examiner all the information he
desired." The company's contention, i
he said, is that the War Labor
Board's authority ceased with the '
actual termination of hostilities.
