Word reached the store of Bow man and Company yesterday that Santa has decided to make the jour ney front his North Pole home to the big Market street department store by airplane. The "ad" man at Bowman's saw a big chance for publicity stud he grabbed it right off the bat, just like a New York Giant catcher tak ing a foul tip. He sent a wireless right away to the good old saint to make Bow man's his headquarters while in the city, and Santa messaged back: "Glad to pny you a visit. My air plane will sail over your store some time between 2 and 3 o'clock, when 1 will drop my big red stack on your roof or just in front of the build ing. If you can find a place for me I will meet the boys and girls and maybe stay over for a few days as nearly all my year's work is done, the packages wrapped and only a little more scouting to do just be fore Christmas Eve." The "ad" man assured Santa that a room in the Santa Olaus castle, on the second floor, will be at his disposal as long as he cares to stay. "All right." replied Santa, "watch for me Saturday afternoon." CA M PAG MM DIES By Associated I'rcss Chicago, Dec. 19.

HARJRISBURG TELEGRAPH AGREEMENT WITH PACKERS ENDS ROW; [Continued from First Page.] packers, in ex parte hearings in I Washington and other cities which were sensational In their revelations , of financial manipulation by means of dummy directors, bearer war rants and other devices to conceal j the persons involved. Agreement Minding An injunction decree, to which the ' packers have acceded, will be enter- I ed in the Federal courts to make | ! the agreement binding. Under its ; j terms, the big five—-Swift, Armour, , I Morris, Wilson and Cudahy—have agreed: To sell under supervision of the j United Slates District Court, pre- I j ferably to the livestock producers • l and the public, all their holdings in I public stock yards To sell, under the same super- I ' vision, and in lilt# manner all their l I interests in stock yard railroads and terminals. I To sell, under the same super- , vision, and in like manner all their i interests in market newspapers. i Dispose of all their interest in ! j public cold storage warehouses ex- , | eept as necessary for their own • meat products. To forever dissociate themselves j with the retail meat business. Give Up "Sidelines" To forever dissociate themselves with all "unrelated lines," including wholesale groceries, fresh, canned, dried or salt fish, fresh, dried or canned vegetables, fresh, crushed, dried, evaporated or canned rruits, confectioneries, syrups, soda water fountains supplies, etc., molasses, honey, jams, jellies and preserves,' 1 ices, sauces, relishes, etc., coffee, I tea, cliocolate, cocoa, nuts, flour, sugar rice and cereals (with an ex ception to he noted), breads, wafers, crackers, biscuits, spaghetti, ver miohelli, macaroni, cigars, china, furniture, etc. To forever abandon the use of the branch houses, route cars and auto mobile trucks, comprising their dis tribution system, for any other than their own moat and dairy products. To perpetually submit to the jurisdiction of the United States District Courts under an injunction forbidding all the defendants from , directly or indirectly maintaining | any combination, or conspiracy with | each other or any other personal | or persons, or monopolizing or at- | tempting to monopolize, any food 1 products in the United States, or in- j dulgtng in any unfair and unlawful j practice. The decree further provides the I jurisdiction is perpetually retained by the courts for the purpose of taking: such other action, or adding , at the foot of the decree such other j relief, if any, that may become necessary or appropriate for the carrying out and enforcement of the * decrees or for the purpose of en- 1 tertaininsr at any time hereafter in j the application which the parties ' may make with respect to this de- ' croc. * Two Years to Comply Two years are given to comply ; with the decree, which affects eighty-seven corporations and forty nine individuals. "In general," said Attorney Gen- , eral Palmer's oflicial announcement ' last night, "this decree •prevents the I defendants from exercising any fur- , ther control over the marketing of i livestock. It forever prevents them | from any control over the retailing of meat products. It eliminates I them from the held of meat sub stitutes, with the exception of eggs, butter, poultry and cheese, which are left for future consideration and I appropriate action: and, therefore, j the price of meat is within the con- | trol of the people themselves. It ! places the conduct of these great ! aggregations of capital immediately iinder the eye of a Federal Court with reference to their business , practices. "But greater than all, it estab- , lishes the princple that no group of men, no matter how powerful, can ever attempt to control the food (able of the American people, or any J one of the necessities or component i parts o£ it. "The Department of Justice, hav- | ing in mind the necessities and in- j forests of the whole American peo- ' pie in this critical reconstruction I period, feels that by insisting upon this surrender on the part of pack ing interests it has accomplished j more for the American people than I could have been hoped for as the | result of a long drawn out legal i bottle." Packers Face Huge Task in Disposal of Their Diversified Activities H)/ Associated Prrss Chicago. Dec. 19.—Segregation or! disposal of commercial lines not di-' rectly allied with the meat and pro- I vision business of the five great pack- I ing companies, as agreed upon fie- i tween them and the United States At- j torney General, will involve reorgan ization of a huge industry with as sets of more than f 1,000.000.000. The agreement was regarded by the packers as marking an epoch in in dustry in tl'at for. the iirst time big business • bows to public ooinion recognizing it as one of the basic sun ports of commerce. The packers say that heretofore they have conducted their business upon economics and legality. They have been sure of their economics and equally certain of the legality of their htisii | :s methods, they say, and now they nave tulten account of the good will of the public. Many New Companion In diverting their lines not directly connected with the meat and provision business, many organizations with separate identities, involving millions of capital, are expected to come into being. Some of them already had ue gun the segregation process. In the reorganization the firm names of Armour & Companv, Swift & Company. Morris & Company, Wil son & Company and the Cudahy Pack ing Company are expected to be ab sent from the controlling boards of the corporations. The five packing companies will be restricted to meats and provisions in cluding butter, eggs, poultry and cheese. While prohibited under the agreement from owning stockyards, stockyards terminals and other 'inter ests not directly related to meats and provisions, they were not separated from ownership of refrigerator car lines, but the use of such cars was restricted to handling their meat busi ness. I To Tletnln By-Products Aocording to packers' represent®- I tives. soap, glue, cleansing powder and fertilizer manufacturing Is di-. rectly connected with meat business and will be retained.

Brard, who conies to thisl country as the special representative of the French government. When "l.a Petite Mademoiselle" as Madgeleine Brard is often called, came out onto the great Metropolitan Opera House stage, one late after noon last January, to rehearse a Kaint-Saens concerto, the following evening, a surprise was in store. The men were tired, after another rehearsal end shifted themselves rest lessly in their chairs when they saw tills little 15-year-old girl in a knee length frock and black ringlets down lier back come onto the platform. Mile. Brard sealed herself at the piano with all the calmness and self assurance of a mature artist. She played through the. long concerto with great brilliancy without a hitch or correction, extracting from it all the beauty of tone and color it con tained. These old and well seasoned musicians were amazed and delight ed. and as soon as she had finished every man stood up and applauded this little lady of France until she was embarrassed for the first time. • Membership in New Frat Is Based on Merit: By Associated Press Pittsburgh, Pa., Dec. 19.—An honor fraternity, to be known as the Delta Phi Alpha, has been organized in the school of life insurance salesmanship of the Carnegie Institute of Technol ogoy here, the first of-its kind in the country.
