R. KINNEY & CO., Inc. 19 and 21 North Fourth Street FRIDAY EVENING, but discussion buzzed in the hotel lobbies and elsewhere on themes of Presidential timber and the pre eminent qualifications of "favorite sons." The meeting: was presided over by Galen L. Tait, of Maryland, sec retary-treasurer of the organization. Chairman Hays, of the National Committee, made an address of welcome. Harmony was reported as a fea ture of the meeting. Together with reports from the states and de cisions upon ways and means fot campaigns in the states, more than passing notice was paid to the probable issues, national as well ■as local. Efforts by the opposition to make out a case of Republicans side stepping on the League of Nations question were met by with square statements in informal discussion following the lead of earlier state ments by Chairman Hays, who an nounced that answers to his broad cast queries had not touched to any great extent on the League. The substance of expressions of the State Committeemen was that they were for a League of Nations that would not result in the sur render of any portion of American sovereignty. "The. general trend of theygath ering," said one last night, "seemed to be that the Republican party would be satisfied to have an •Americanized' League of Nations. There was no official action taxen, but that was the sense of the meet ing. nevertheless. "Isn't that what the majority of the Republican Senators have been contending for throughout the long series of debates on the question?" Lowdon's Star Rising Shifts in the apparent strength of "booms" have been peculiar since the gathering of the clans. In the preliminary tryout General Leon ard Wood was easily the favorite. Wednesday, however, the stock of Senator Harding, of Ohio, went skyward, and the boomers from the Buckeye State were correspondingly elated. To-day the drift seemed further westward with the laurels seeming ly tilted towards Illinois and the brow of Governor Frank Lowden, of that State. Cheer feeling is prevalent among the Illinois delega tion, in consequence, although it Is recognized that surface Indications are by no means often final. 30 MORE CLERKS AT POST OFFICE Thirty additional men will be em ployed to aid the post office forces in the city to handle the Christmas mall Postmaster Ffank C.

Campaign Closes Wednesday The seal and bond campaign' will Bolsheviki Drive Denikine's Army Back 40 Miles on Long Front By Associated Press London, Thursday, Dec. 12. —Bol- shevik forces have again heavily at tacked the left flank of General Denikine's army and drivqn the lat ter's volunteers back to a depth of 30 or 40 miles along a front from three to four hundred miles long. The reds are within fifty miles of Kharkov and Poltava and are swinging around to the southeast of Kiev, which is also threatened from the northeast, according to news from South Russia. The situa tion gives rise to anxiety. On the Caucasus front, however, the Bolsheviki have been repulsed with heavy losses. Don Cossacks have also been successful in pushing back the reds. Fighting n the southern front has curiously revert ed to the type of the days of Water loo. The major portion of the bat tles are being waged by well trained mounted men.

Frick Will Made Before War Profits Doubled Estate Pittsburgh, Dec. 12. Henry Clay Frick, late steel magnate, art collect or and multimillionaire, made his will, disposing of some 1143,000,000 worth of property. In the early part of 1915, it was learned here to-day. With the benefit of four years' war profits, his properties have probably enhanced in value twice as much as when the will was made. Four or five months must elapse be fore the final inventory of the will 13 completed. Charles A. Snyder, audi tor general, said to-day. The Federal tax, which is to be col lected from the bequests, was found to be 25 per cent., which, by the terms of the will, must be deducted from the residuary estate. It is almost an assured fact now the bequests will bo reduced at least 50 per cent, al though the tax Is to be collected only from the net estate, that part of the estate not bequeathed to charity or to the public. Pennsylvania's tax wIM amount to approximately 35,000,000 it is aaid to day, while the Federal tax, according to a conservative estimate will be 115.000,000. Deaths and Funerals PAUL C.

Stories were told of the place of Houser and Lockman, on the south east corner of Market Square, adjoin ing the then noted hostelry of Wells Coverly. Ephraim M. Pollock's book store and a number of other places in and about the Square were the con gregating place of Rawn and friends at that time, he told. He recalled visits of Kossuth as well as Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, to Washington Tavern. Kos suth visited here on January 14, 1852, and set the fashion for slouch hats, himself wearing one decorated with a feather during his visit. Short sketches, too, were drawn of some of the well-known Harrisburg people of the time.
