CANDIDATES FOR
CITY OFFICES
HOLDING FIRE
Number May Depend Upon]
Legislature's Desire to
Lengthen Terms
ROYAL DENIES A RUMOR
Says l ie Has Not Joined Ranks
of Men Seeking to Be
Mayor
Political leaders in the city are
remarking: about the lack of early
candidates for City Council, as usu
ally in the spring: before a municipal
election there are at least a dozen
who are circulating cards to announce
themselves.
According to a city .fficial who
has been in close touch with council
manic affairs the action of the leg
islature on an amendment to the
Clark act lengthening the terms of
council men to four years will end
the delay of the candidates.
Many of them, it is said, are rot
willing to make any stdtement until
they know whether the terms of the
City Commissioners will be made four
years instead of two. In case the
term is not increased it is said that
the number of candidates will not be
large.
Com* in Cicld
Four candidates have already been
mentioned in the Mayoralty light.
Two of them have announced them
selves. Mayor It. 1,. Keisler and Com
missioner E. Z. Gross. It is said that
Alderman George A. Hovertor may
enter the field, also, and that if lie
does decide to do so, many men
prominent in the Republican part.-,
will support him. Alderman John 11.
Shaner also has been mentioned as a
likely candidate.
Ex-Mayor John K. Royal to-day
denied the report that lie had an
nounced himself as a candidate for
the office again. "1 don't know who
started the rumor," he told some rf
his friends. "Every day I am stopped
on the street about half a dozen times
and asked about it. 1 havn't consid
ered the fall campaign at .ill."
Friends of the former mayor, liow-
I ever, declared that they will endeav
or to get him on the ticket and that
leaders of the Democratic party will
support hitn. They said they may re
plies! him to become a candidate for
tlie office.
It is expected that Commissioners
S. F. Hassler, W. H. Lynch and C. YV.
Burtnett, the three other members of
council, will be candidates for re
election. In former councllmanic
contests there have been at least
twenty on the ticket for nomination
tit the primary election. Whether
there will be as many this voir if the
term is not lengthened i doubtful but
with four-year terms leaders said
they believe a larger number than in
former years will enter th" iel 1.
Fruit Damage Caused
by Cold Wave Probably
Small, Says Farm Agent
That the temperature did not drop
low enough to harm the fruit trees
of Dauphin and surrounding coun
ties, is the opinion expressed to-day
by H. G. Niesley, Dauphin county
farm agent. High winds, he said,
lessened the influence of the drop in
the mercury and no damage is be
lieved to have resulted during the
cold snap.
Blossoms are dropping from peach
and some other trees and the small
fruits have formed. So, unless the
fruit turns black it is impossible at
this time to tell if any damage has
resulted to the cells of the young
fruit, Mr. Niesley explained*
The lowest point registered to
day was 23 degrees, reached this
morning between 5 and 6 o'clock.
This is five degrees warmer than
was expected, while the wind was
moving on an average of about eight
miles faster than had been fore
cast. 'i'nese influences did inucli to
prevent any great damage,
Buds that have survived thus far
are not expected to be harmed any
more during this cold snap. The
mercury had started on its upward
clintb and the lowest temperature
expected is 3 5 degrees. The winds
will be fairly high and will prevent
any damage.
Reports received at the Capitol
from the Southern Pennsylvania
I'Vuit belt indicate that the cold
snap has not done much damage
to the trees, but that early veg
etables have been hard hit while
many flowers and similar plants Just
set out have probably .been killed.
The loss of young tomato and sim
ilar plants will be extensive all over
the State.
State Zoologist Sanders said to-day
t hat it would not be safe to set out
the more tender vegetable plants
until May 10.

Striking Painters Offer
to Arbitrate Demands
For New Wage Scale

"We are ready and veiling to
jmeet and arrange for a compromise
with the Master Painters 'Association
at any time," President H. C. Kutz,
of the Painters, Decorators and Pa
[ perhangers Union, No. 411, said this
i morning in discussing the strike de

i to 62% cents in the painters' wuges.
[ "We have had no communication
! from the Master Painters. There
committee was supposed to be in
I attendance at our regular meeting
last night but no one turned up."
The regular meeting of the union
was held last night with a large por
tion of the membership in attend
ance. Routine business was dis
cussed and it was decided to continue
the strike until the Master Painters
accede to the demands of the work
men. or at least make an offer for
arbitration. Several members were
admitted, and all affairs are In pros
perous condition, it was reported.
Italy thus becomes a question of
good judgment and President Wil
son and Premiers Lloyd George and
Clemeneeau unitedly concluded that
to give Fiume to Italy would be un
just to the new republics cast of the
Adriatic ,us Fiume. is ttie only port
on the eastern side of the Adriatic
which can be serviceable as a sea
entrance to Jugo-Slavia and adjoin
ing countries.
Italian llcslrc Uppermost
"The Italian claims is based oil
Italian desire, not on any right other
than the claim that as its people are
Italian they should become a part
of Italy as they were a hundred years
ago. But to gratify this desire now
would be manifestly to wrong oth
ers and thus maintain a sore spot
on the Adriatic which would cause
constant irritation. Italy, with Ven
ice and Trieste, can live happily and
independently without Fiume, while
the young republics oil the east of
the Adriatic could not have a free
life without access directly to the
world by water."

troversy over the government's

day. Secretary Redfleld telegraphed
Director General Nines asking that
the representatives of the railroad
administration be instructed to con
fer anew with the Industrial Board
of the Department of Commerce, and

At the same time, Chairman Peek
of the Industrial Board, made pub
lic a communication he had sent to
Mr. Nines calling on him to submit
facts and figures to prove that steel
prices agreed to by the board were
too high, and declining to urge steel
manufacturers to reduce prices
"merely upon the railroad adminis
tration's request."

Secretariat of American Legation Says
Formal Withdrawal of Latin Delegates
Has Not Been Recorded at Board
WILSON TELLS ENVOY IT IS HIS
RIGHT TO CONSULT HOME PEOPLE
By Associated Press,
Paris, April 26.—The Peace Conference lias been severely
shaken by the Italian crisis, and the extent to which its work will
be affected is receiving the anxious attention of the delegates. The
American storm has broken and the air has cleared in that quar
ter, but in other quarters a less optimistic view is taken, the feel
ing being that an element of confusion has been introduced which
will result in more or less delay at the moment the German dele
gates are arriving.
The conference is watching with
intense interest the result of to-days
developments in Rome, where Pre
mier Orlando arrived this morning
and where the events of the day are
expected to disclose whether the
hopes of reconcilation can be rea
lized.
Hostile Crowds Parade
Reports received here from the
American embassy in Home are
somewhat ominous us to the general
slate of public feeling there, as
crowds have been parading the
streets crying, "down witli the 'Amer
icans and down with the English"
and "Viva Sonnino,' the foreign
minister who outdid Premier Orlando
in pressing the extreme demands
made by Italy under llio secret
treaty of London.
These reports arc particularly dis
turbing, ns tlie Amcican and British
delegation to the Peace conference
are said to have had reason to be
lieve that Premier Orlando might
adopt a course before the Italian
parliament which would lead to an
amicable adjustment. Premier Lloyd

the result would he brought about.

fears that the Italian prime minis
ter's conciliatory uttitinle may be
swept away in an outburst of feeling
by the populace which will insist
upon demands far beyond those the
council of the powers or President
Wilson will feel themselves able to

It has just developed that the Brit

formulated a plan for giving Italy
certain of the Dalmatian islands
which would have assured Italy con

to the Italian representatives und

In French and Italian circles the
situution is regarded us serious, and
some quarters even represent it as
desperate, but this extreme view is
not generally held.
Several of the committees met late
yesterduy with the Italian members
present. The secretariat of the Amer

been received of the withdrawal of
Italian participation. Pending formal
action, no break in relations would
