Brush, along with Kaymond. This
record showed 'Bugs' had swallowed
forty-two beers and seven green oil
lons. Mr. Brush cross-examined
Kaymond, and after a long timo he
finally admitted that he might have
sipped the boors, but he was sure
ho had nothing to do with the on
ions. I almost lost my job for this
interview with Mr. Brush. Kaymond
was a persistent guy. One spring
xve were just arriving at Marlin.
•Bugs' wanted $509, and I told him
no advance money was to he had
that spring. He cut the request to
$260. I refused again. He asked for
$lOO. Again I refused. Then he
wanted $5O. $26. $lO und a $2 bill.
Finally when he saw I was obdurate,
he said. 'Gimme two bits for a shave,
will you?' And I don't think he got
even that. I never knew when Kay

Raymond always could bafflo Wag

Immediately I knew something was

Raymond had run out of tho Polo

his time, waiting for someone, in

Boxing Managers Keen

Harrisburg Is getting on the box-1
ing map. A missive has just been
received by the sporting editor from
something of Johnny Murray, the
sensational bantamweight who, the
other day, put away Franklo Clark
in two rounds. Frank (Doc) Bagley
suggests that as Harrisburg is on
the boxing drive It might be possi-'
ble to have Murray appear 111 the
Capitol City. He narrates:
"Murray in eight bouts in Phila
delphia, scored four knockouts and
in the other contests he handed out
unmerciful lacings to his opponents/

Herman is to appear against a
good man, not yet selected. An
other crowd drawer will be Rube

pression the last show. Rube,
native son, .and a tip-top lad,
very popular, had hard luck at
Lancaster last night, losing, ac
cording to the scribes, to Johnny
Viggi, of Philadelphia. Rube
will hook up again with Baldy
Brandt and these middlewelghts
are certain to be entertaining.
The program also includes an Al
toona favojfite, Dick Conlon, who
makes a noise like a goose but
usually trims his foe. This bill
promises action, for Baldy Brandt
made a. hit last meetftig in his
defeat of Globish and Bennet is
always good. While the Scliiff-
McCarren set-to should be spec
tacular.

Tonight's the Night
For Central High
and Camp Hill
A team which will probably play
permanently under the name of
Central High School, now called
the Infornials, will meet Camp Hill
Big Five to-night, over there. This
is a starter for bringing back uth
leticg to Central, declares Curl
Stoner, who is handling 'he In
formals, and everybody interested
in the city athletics will be glad
to hear it. Tech has been taking
up the whole stage and no one is
envious of lier, but Central High
should be prominent, too.
The athletes who will do battle
to-night in Central High's name
are Mlnnich , Robinson, Cahill,
Craiglow, Perrin and Koch. Five of
these players will start the game.
The contingent will have to exert,
themselves to the utmost in order
to wallop the Camp Hill tosaers,
who include a number of former
college stars.
It is expected that within the
course of a few days a captain will
be elected by the infornials. Joe
Minnich was captain of the senior
team and "Mel" McClintock led the
junior five. Now that the two com
binations havo gone together as
one a new leader will be named.
It will probably, be one of these
men.
The following will be included in
the Camp Hill Big Five lineup:
Higley, Sutton, Kurtz, Myers, Mun
nell and Fry.
HOUSE APPROVES
NAVAL PROGRAM
Votes 194 to 142 Favoring New
Thrcc-Ycar Building
Schedule
Washington, Feb. 12. —Adminis-
tration leaders in the House have
won their fight for a declaration by
Congress of a policy of naval ex
pansion unless limitation of world
armament is agreed upon at tho
peace conference. After a long de
bate yesterday, the House voted
194 to 142 to approve the new
three-year building program of ten
battleships and ten scout cruisers
and immediately afterwards adopt
ed the entire naval appropriation
bill.
The vote on the adoption of the
bill was 281 to 60. As finally ap
proved the measure carries a total
of $721,00,000 for the naval estab-
I lishnient during the next fiscal year,
I including $179,000,000 for the un-
I finished part of the first three-year
program adopted in 1916.
During tho day the House adopt
ed by a vote of 205 to 148 a reso
lution of the rules committee mak
ing the naval expansion policy leg
islation in order, thus overcoming
a parliamentary advantage gained
yesterday by Republican Leader
Mann, whose points of order against
the program had been sustained by
Representative Garret, of Tennessee,
Democrat, who was temporarily
presiding.
Representative Moore, of Penn
sylvania, said the question to be
decided was not whether the House
was for or against a large navy, but
whether it was for or against the
voople, who had to pay the bills,
while Representative Johnson, of
South Dakota, asserted that the time
had come for Congress to adopt
another declaration of independ
ence and Tree itself from the mas
tery of the President.
ARRESTED ON SUSPICION

years old Wedge stayed the limit,
but has decided that the pulpit and
the square circle, is the place for
him. After the boot he wrote: "Now
that boxing and physical culture
have completely cured me of tuber
culosis I am going back to the active
ministry of the church. I shall always
remain an enthusiastic booster of
boxing and believe boxing will be

NATIONS SOCIETY
MAKES PROGRESS,
SAYS PREMIER
| Lloyd George Expects That
Report Will Be Issued
Soon
London, Feb. 12.—Progress on the
formation of the Society of Na
tions was v'iry satisfactory. Pre
mier Lloyd George said in tho
House of Commons in discussing the
j work of the peace conference. He
; said he hoped that a report would
j be issued soon by the commission
appointed to consider responsibil
ity for the war and enemy out
rages.
The Premier, in answer to a
question, said that the British rep
resentatives, like tho others, would
sign the treaty of peace provision
ally and that the treaty would be
pi-esentod to Parliament for ratifi
cation. If the House of Commons
chose to repudiate it, the House
was all powerful.
The peace commission on in
demnities, the Premier said he
hoped, would issue its report .soon.
The Premier declared that the
conference had made progress be
yond the most sanguine anticipa
tions and that it was approaching
an agreement on most questions. It
would be a misfortune, he added, if
the peace conference deliberations
were discussed in any parliaments
before they were concluded.

THE modern way to load and screen

i Coal is hoisted to the screens by
electric power, after which the coal travels
over a large screen to remove dirt and goes
into our wagons ready for delivery.
The old way for screening coal required
the drivers to shovel coal by hand into a
screen and afterwards throw the rescreened
coal into his wagon. Hard work.

Mechanically screening and loading

we are enabled to secure better drivers.
