PLAN APARTMENT
HOUSE DE LUXE
Du Pont and Associates Will
Build $4,000,000 Home
For Themselves
New York.—Apartments of a
luxury hitherto unknown, ranging
from suites of 28 rooms and 10 bath
rooms to the more common throe
room and bath variety, are called for
in the plans for a 16-story building
to cost J4,000,000, which will occupy
the entire block front between
Forty-ninth and Fiftieth streets on
the west side of Park avenue.
The property, which has been leas
ed for 21 years at an aggregate
rental of $2,000,000 by a syndicate
of buyers, including T. Coleman du
Pont, Dallas Hache Pratt, Benjamin
McAlpin, Arthur Coppel, B. B. Dun
ham and B. M. Boomer, will furnish
apartments for the buyers' personal
use. Whether rental of the remain
ing suites will be restricted to friends
has not been announced as yet.
Bouis Sherry, the noted restaura
teur, who a few months ago sold his
interest in the famous establishment
at Forty-fourth street and Fifth ave
nue, will act as caterer for those liv
ing in the building. He will run a
large restaurant on the ground floor,
for which ballrooms, diningrooms,
luncheon apd tea rooms and break
fast rooms arc also provided.
Modern as are the architectural
plajis for the structure, the eradica
tion of the servant problem through
the maintenance of a force of cooks,
butlers, maids, doormen, chamber
maids and valets by the house is a
. new departure that will be watch
ed with interest by hundreds of
families who have been unable to
keep their servants regardless of the
wages they might be willing to pay.
All worries about meals will be as
sumed by the large force that will
'work under Mr. Sherry's direction.
Breakfast in bed will be as simple
a matter under this arrangement as
in private homes.
No detail looking toward the com
fort and convenience of the oc
cupants of the building is overlooked
in the plans. All the men whose
money is going into the venture
have very distinct and practical
ideas of luxury and of what they will
want to satisfy their own desires.
Many members of the syndicate
have had large hotel interests at dif
ferent, times.
Cost of Living in
Odessa 300 Times
That Preceding War
Berwick, Eng.. Dec. 23. —The cost
of living in Odessa is about 300 times
more than before the war, says Miss
Bussell, sister of the local food con
troller, who has just returned from
that Russian city She lived there for
two and one-half years.
A pair of boots, she says, cost from
2,000 to 3,000 rubles—a year's sal
ary—and a dress was only to be had
at a similar ruinous figure. In Odes
sa the day before she left the Eng
lish pound was equivalent to 800
rubles instead of less than 10 as in
• pre-war days.
"The Bolsheviki," she explanied,
"are Communists and the principle
of the Communists is everything for
themselves and nothing for the rest.
The others they say have had their
turn, and they treat them with ruth
less cruelty. Bife for the educated
people is utterly impossible. Those
who have money are fast eating into
their capital; those who have not
are dying of starvation. That also
is an expensive business, for the cost
of coffins has reached a prohibitive
llgure."
U. S. to Put Stop
to Firing Over Line
Washington. Dec. 23. T T nless I
President Carranza and Francisco I
"Villa want the American forces on I
the border to take a hand in the
lighting between their respective
forces they would do well to keep
out of range of the Rio Grande.
This was made clear at the State
and War Departments when atten
tion was colled to the Mexico City
report that Villa has been located
in the Pino Mountains of Coaliuila,
near the Rio Grande.
It was recalled that when Villa
sacked Muzquiz on Tuesday of last
week, remaining in the town until
the following Saturday, he announc
ed that he was heading for the Pino
Mountains, where he would await
payment of ransom for two Ameri
cans and several well to do Mexicans
whom he Carried off. The Ameri
cans were subsequently released
without ransom.
When American troops crossed
the international bridge between El
Paso and Juarez on the night of
June 15-16, 1919, and smashed the
Villa force which attacked the
Juarez garrison and was firing
across the line, killing and wound
ing persons in El Paso, they made
short work of the rebels.
The same thing will be repeated
in the event that Carranzlstas and
Villistas get together again near the
border and send stray shots across.
The border patrol is alert to-day,
and additional forces will be moved
toward the Rio Grande at points
where the prospective fight between
the opposing Mexican forces is like
ly to come close to the international
line.
Nitti Plans Curb
on King's Power
ltome. Dee. 23.—Although the
Chamber of Deputies yesterday
voted confidence in the government
by the narrow margin of 242 tot 216,
Premier Nitti had aroused the en
thusiasm of the entire chamber be
fore the vote when he said:
"Nobody naed fear that Italy will
he nrawn inro new wars without the
will of the people and Parliament. At
the reopening of the chamber after
the Christmas recess I shall present
a bill modifying Article V of our
constitution, according to which the
king has the right to declare war,
conclude peace and negotiate treat
ies. My bill will propose, instead,
that only Parliament shall have the
power to declare war."
Jazz Band Craze

craze will last for at least five years.

TUESDAY EVENING,
TRADERS TAKE
SPIES' PLACES
Bankers, Merchants and Sales
men Fill Hotels at
the Hague
The "Hague, Dec. 23. —Trade con
ferences between bankers, merchants
and salesmen of the Entente coun
tries and central powers have suc
ceeded the mysterious gatherings
of spies in the hotels here and
at Amsterdam. The iron, steel, shoes,
ships and sealing wax of commerce
are the topics instead of the routes
of submarines, troop ships and food
ships.
Whatever may be the opinion in
America, or England, or France, re
garding resumption of business with
Germany and Austria, the represen
tatives of the business concerns of
those countries show nothing but a
keen desire for such trade at the
conferences here.
The other day, at one of the Hague
hotels the groups seated in the lobby,
engaged in earnest conversation on
trade subjects, included:
One English ship owner and di
rector of one of Germany's biggest

HARRISBURG %£&&& TELEGRAPH
SEES BUSINESSMAN
AS NEXT PRESIDENT
Samueel M. Vauclain Declares People Will Demand "Grim
Administralor;" Don't Want "Legislator"
t'hiladclphiu, 1 Dec. 23. —People
will demand that the next President
of the United States be a "grim ad
ministrator," not u "legislator," an
executive who will handle the Gov
ernment as a great public business
should be handled, according to
Samuel M. Vauclain. president of
the Baldwin Bocomotive Works.
"According to my point of view."
he soys, "we want an administrator.
By that 1 mean we have enough
legislation on the statute books now,
whut we need most is an executive
to properly administer affairs.
"The time has come when the
Government must* be handled as a
great public business. The proper
basis would be to conduct the Gov
ernment with a minimum overhead,
yet not to be nigardly, for the Gov
ernment must be in keeping with
the dignity of the Nation.
"Remember, the United States is
the one place on earth where the
poor man can live properly. This
is a poor man's country, and should
be kept a poor man's country.
Every effort of the chief executive
should be directed toward that end.
"The opportunity to-day for the
poor boy is greater than ever be
fore, und we should keep it so.
There ls .no country in the world like
this due —no country in the world
occupying our present position. All
we require is a good, wholesome,
clear-sighted administration. This
will benefit the plain people, and if
they benefit all will benefit.
"The country ut large cannot
prosper and benefit and be success
ful unless the plain people prosper
and are successful too.
"To conduct affairs of Government
as I have outlined will require
strength of character, foresighted
ness and grim executive ability. We
will find the right man somewhere.
1 don't believe the next President
will be chosen because of his po
litical reputation. I believe the peo
ple will demand a business admin
stration.
"We must not start out with the
idea that all the administrators of
this government are incompetent or
dishonest, but we do want for next
President a man wi}h strength and
determination, to serve the country
as an administrator rather than a
mere legislator."
Armed Men Patrol
Banking Districts
Over Philadelphia
Philadelphia, Dee. 23.— Extra pre
cautions are being taken in banks
nnd trust companies and in large
jewelry establishments in this city in
view of the large number of hold-ups
and other robberies committed re
cently.
Armed detectives patrol the bank
ing districts and special guards are
on duty in banking institutions. Ail
elaborate system of alarms has been
Installed.
Depositors at several local banks
in the last few days have noticed,
convenient to the hands of tellers,
business-like revolvers.
Th p weapons are part of a svstem
perfected recently in which electric
bells, automatic door-closing devices,
vault alarms and private guards play
an Important part.
While this city has witnessed nu
merous bold robberies in the last few
weeks, particularly in Jewelry stores,
tlie professional crooks have avoided
"gun work" in local banks.
According to private detectives en
gaged when the crime wave rose in
this city, the methods now in force
are so designed that escape becomes
almost impossible even if bandits get
into a bank and garner a small har
vest of currency.

Nearly every teller's "cage" is
equipped with alarm bells, operated
either by foot or hand. Even if a
