next ten days or two weeks. 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

cation of streets and other matters

Green, Third and Sixth streets, to
gether with changes of lines of these
and other highways affected by the

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.
