The decision of the school directors to take over about live acres of a tri angular section along the lines oi the old Sixth street, which will com prise a small purk on the proposed school grounds was another Import ant step In the whole transaction. A representative of the McKea- Graham estate heirs was here 1' rl day and a payment of $5,000 was made on the purchase price of the school site. At the same time final agreements were reached on the lo cation of streets and other matters Incident to the Important Improve ment projects. There seems to be no doubt that there is entire agree ment now on every important point affecting the owners, the city and the school district and that every thing will be finally determined as outlined through the legal transfers not later than December 20. • Within a week the topographical map of the Fourteenth ward, pre pared by City Engineer M.

"The topographical map will es tablish the street lines officially in the Fourteenth ward when it is ap proved by City Council," according to Mr. Cowden. "All the proposed highway changes recommended by the City Planning Commission in connection with the Italian Park de velopment have been made. "This includes widening Second, Green, Third and Sixth streets, to gether with changes of lines of these and other highways affected by the proposed gift to the city of the park area " ... v.- "Green street on the map will be widened to 120 feet and when it is approved this highway will extend at that width from a point south of Division street to the northern city limits and beyond as it has already been laid out in the territory just I north of the Fourteenth ward and those plans have been approved by the Planning Commission."

GOVERNOR WILL BE A SPEAKER Appearance Before Republi can National Committee to Be Important Move Appearance of Governor William C. Sproul before the Republican na tional committee at Washington on Wednesday is being awaited with much interest by men in politics. He is regarded as the business execu tive among the governors now and will be heard with close attention. The Philadelphia press in its Washington letter has this'to say about the meeting and the Gover nor: "The greatest honor is to be accorded Governor Sproul, mention ed in the Presidential possibility by the invitation extended by the Re publican national committee to ad dress the committeemen here next Wednesday. Mr. Sproul intends to speak his mind without stint upon questions before the country, and what he will say will be reud with interest by the country. At present lie is at Hot Springs, Va. Word comes here that he has carefully thought out his speech. Generally it will deal with business conditions and taxation and will plead with the Republicans to act promptly in ob taining peace." The Governor Is expected to be a candidate for national delegate-at large along with the mayors of two big citie3. There will be eight dele gates-at-large and Senator Boies Penrose will be chairman of the delegation. Ex-Representative Harry B. Scott, of Center county, who was here re cently, is to be a candidate for Re publican national delegate from the Twenty-first district. A. H. GafT ney, of Kane, will be the other can didate backed by the Republican organization. A. I*. IVrley, of Williamsport. is to be a candidate for national dele gate in that section and the Phila delphia Inquirer says that Highway Commissioner Lewis S. Sadler may be a candidate from this district. Tlic Slovenian Workmen's Benefit Association, of Johnstown, has re plied to the action of the Attorney General requiring it to show cause why its charter should not be chang ed or revoked because of a provision barring strike breakers from bene fits by stating that a strike breaker becomes an extra hazardous risk. This ingenious answer will bring the matter to an issue and the Attorney General will press for revocation or change of the charter on the ground that it is un-American and that the association has no right to forfeit the rights of any member because he chooses to work. The Dauphin coun ty court will be petitioned to fix an early date for argument. At a hearing before Commissioner John W. Reed to-day the Lancaster Oxford and Southern Railroad, op erating in southern Lancaster coun ty, agreed to resume operation of its road to the extent of one train a day until the application for disso lution of the company is approved. The company had stopped operations without securing approval of the commission. The State Teachers' Retirement Board has been Informed in an opin ion by the Attorney General that "deductions should not be made from the salary of a person entering upon public school employment at an age which precludes a superannu ation retirement." More notices of advance in na tural gas rates have been tiled with the Public Service Commission, the T. W. Phillips Gas and Oil Company, having given notice of increase in industrial rates in Allegheny, Arm strong, Butler, Clarion, Indiana, Jef ferson and Westmoreland counties. The Kittaning Telephone Company filed notice of an increase in rates. Tech's Championship Team Guest of Rotary Club at Luncheon The members of the Technical j High School football team, which won the championship of the Unit ed States by defeating Portland, Me., at Island Park, Saturday aft ernoon, were guests of the Harris burg Rotary Club at luncheon in the Penn-Harris Hotel at noon to day, together with members of the school board, school officials, Dr. Charles B. Fager, principal of Tech; Prof. P. L. Grubb, Paul Smith, the coach, and other membes of the : faculty. The luncheon was sevred in the. | ballroom of the hotel, which was decorated in the high school col ors, cards containing the scores showing that not a point had been scored against Tech this year and on the tables were properly in scribed footballs, tokens of the team's vctories. President G. M. Steinmetz in troduced Dr. C. K. L. Keene, vice president of the school board, as the presiding officer, and among the other speakers were Dr . Fager, Coach Smith, Prof. Grubb, Captain Frank, Manager Snyder, Carl Beck, Tony Wilsbach, "Bud" Lingle and other members of the team. College songs were sung, and the Rotarians Indulged in a few songs, amoqg them the following, to the tune of "Where Has My Little Dog Gone: "Oh where, oh where Has Borland's goat gone, Oh where, oh where did he stray? He was captured by Tech, And they've put him on ice, And that's where he's likely to stay." The boys who spoke for their team showed that they are orators as well as players, and even the joke of a 'fake" birthday cake, pre sented by Frank Davenport, which was not nearly so good as it iooked, provided a subject for a swift come back from the captain of the team. Only $25,000,000 to the Family and Others in Frick Will Pittsburgh, Dec. B.—Henry Clay Frick's will gives to his family $25,- 000,000 out of an estate valued by H. C.
