URGE NEED OF 1 IREE COIIISSION Members of Municipal League Say That More Than a Forester Is Necessary FAVORFIGHT AGAINST SMOKE J. Horace McFarland Says He Is Ashamed of Condition of Trees in Harrisburg—Ail the Old Officers Are Re-elected Members of the Harrisburg Muuici pal League, in their thirteenth annual session in the Chamber of Commerce quarters in the KunkeP building, las: night, reviewed the municipal improve ments made in Harrisburg within the last ten or-more years; suggested 'he abolition oi the smoke nuisance and en dorsed the suggestion recently made to the l ity Commissioners in which the appointment of a commission for the caring ot' the city's shade trees was advocated. There is now pending be fore the City Commissioners au ordi nance providing for the creation of the post of city forester at a salary of SI,OOO, which, if passed, it is under stood, would result in the city not avail ing itself of the legal right to a Shade Tree Commission. Mayor Rova! and Commissioners Bowman, Gorgas, Lyneh and Tavlor were guests of the League at the meet ing. All the old officers were re-ciectcd for auotl\pr term, as follows: Presi <ient. Vance C. MeCorniick; vice presi dents, K Wallower and Henderson Gilbert: secretary, J. Horace McFar land; ;reisurer, j. Austin Brandt. Half a dozen speakers confined their remarks to the improvements already made :• m. 1 those in progress in this citv, and .1. V. \V. Keynders. vice president ot' the Pennsylvania Steei Company and a member of the iUeelton Council, impresse.l his hearers with a talk on the benetits Steelton has been der v in; ■since a tree commission was established in thai borough. UEberjsr Favors Commission Among the League members who ad vocated creating a tree commission in Harrisburg was Benjamin F. I'nvberser, formerly president of the old Select Council and now a member of the Cit\ Planning Commission. He compared such a plan to the tentative plans hi I by the old Cotincilmanic bodies at the time the question of paving streets on Allison Hill was originally discussed. Like the paving work, he said, the people mav not be unanimously in fa vor of the tree commission, but it w;ll be a matter of only a short time, he insisted, until they would be clamoring for it. -1. Horace McFarland, with lat tern sli les, pictured to his audience iu?t how Harrisburg V so-called shade trees are being butchered annually by "in competent trimmers.'' "As president of the American Civic Association I have been laughed at be cause of the terrible tree conditions in Harrisburg until I am ashamed," Mr. McFarland said. "A tree authority told me some time ago that there is not a healthy tree in the city. We Yriut our trees here to f.? the telegraph poles and there are many butchers who think that they can im prove on nature in the shape oft shade trees. Others we leave to rot and die. We certainly like trees, but we seem to like them Head. As to Forester's Salary "There is no serious objection to *he appointment of a city forester under the bill now before Council, but whv experiment? The forester should work uniler the direction of a regularly-ap pointed commission. Under the SI,OOO salary limit in the bill a broad and com petent expert could not be obtain?!." Mr. McFarland touched on the smoke nuisance and said that it is ob vious that the city must soon undertake to combat the clouds of black smoke pouring out from railroad and factory chimneys. Mr. McFarland spoke of the many BELGIANS WOUNDED DURING FIGHTING ON THE YSER ■'A-S' - * VEpun9B BELGIAN FISHERMEN WATCHING A BRITISH MONITOR OFF DUNE COUNTRY.

OYEFIAND BAND UNO GLEE CLUB IN BENEFIT CONCERT Their Services Offered by President Willys at Entertainment Which Netted $4,000 for Relief of Women and Children in Belgium The appeal of Brand Whitloek, Min ister to Belgium and former Mayor of Toledo, in behalf of the women, chil dren and other non-combatants 111 Bel gium, found instant and substantial re sponse in his home city. The Commerce Club immediately started a benefit mo\ement known as Whitloek Belgian Relief Fund. John X. Willys, president of the Willvs-Overlnnd Company, who was ap pointed chairman of tjie committee to ra.se funds, offered the services of the Overland Concert Band and the Over land tilpe Club for a benefit concert. Between $3,500 and 54,000 was raised at the concert which was given last Tuesday evening in Toledo, when the Overland organizations were assisted by Mrs. Albro Blodgett, soloist. A huge audience tilled the theatre in which the concert was given, the boxes having been auctioned off at big prices. In addition to the money netted by the sale of seats, a number of donations were recevied from Overland dealers throughout the country, who proved their sympathy with the cause by sub stantial contributions. The Overland Band has the' reputa tion of being one of the best industrial organizations of its kind in the coun try. It was organized five years ago bv Mr. Willys for the purpose of provid ing entertainment at various Overland functions throughout the year. It is one of tto> most prominent features in the movements continually being made by Mr. Willys to make life more worth the living for his employes. It has per formed for a number of public benefits, the latest of which is the one for the relief of the Belgians. To show his appreciation of the band s efforts, Mr. illys sent its HARRISBURG STAR-INDEPENDENT, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 28, 1914. members on two transcontinental con cert tours, in the course of which they played before audiences aggregating half n million people. The band is un der the leadership of Herr Gustav Koehler. who lias a national reputation as a director. The Overland Glee Club, composed of 75 male voices, is well known throughout Ohio as a musical organiza tion of much merit. The members of both the band and glee club are em ployes of the big Overland factory and maintain a strict amateur standing by refusing to accept extra remuneration for their services as musicians.

STEEL After First Fifteen Minutes Trading Lapsed Into Extreme Dullness, With Mixture of Gains and Losses —St. Paul Largest Single Deal By Aitociated Press. New York, Nov. 28.—The New York Stock Exchange resumed operations in a tentative way to day for the first time since July 30 last, when the for eign situation, alroady tense, caused the cessation of business of all the leading financial market* of the world. Trading was restricted to bonds for which, in all issues, minimum pricee were ostablisiied. All transactions were for cash and every effort was utade to exclude for eign selling. The attendance on the floor of the Exchange when the gong sounded at 10 o'clock was unusually large. The sound brought cheers from the brokers. Thereafter business went on in th» usual orderly fashion. Little Business at Outset There was little business at the out set of the session. The first transac tion recorded was the sale of five bonds of the U. S. Steel Corporation at 99 3-4, a decline of 1 1-4 from the closing price of July 30. The next transaction was j the sale of five bonds of distillers se curities 5s at 36, an advance of 3 1-2. Then followed the sale of a single Chesapeake and Ohio bond at a decline of 1-1-2 with later offerings of small amounts of such issues as Southern /*a cific convertibles, Ray Consolidated S's, St. Paul General Mortgage 4 l-2s and Northern Pacific 4s. These showed de clines ranging from a substantial frac tion in Southern Pacific to 3 7-8 points in Hay Consolidated. There wore oth er sales of Steel and Distillers aud the | issues already .named at declines from : the first recor.i<ed prices. The total amount of business for the first fifteen I minutes of the session was $123,000 par value. Largest Single Transaction The largest single transaction was ! the sale of twenty St. Paul general j mortgages 4 1-2 S at 3 decline of 2 1-4. | After the first fifteen minutes trad ing lapsed into extreme dullness, with a mixture of gains and losses. St. Paul convertibles 4 l-2s were up 1 1-2 while Southern Pacific convertibles 4s gained 3-4 and Central Leather 5s rose 1-2 per cent. U. S. Government issues bid j prices were down 1 to 2 points, with an actuul stile of registered 4s a de ! dine of 1 3-4. i Selling pressure about which there ' has been so much apprehension did not appear .luring the first hour, much to i the satisfaction of the financial dis trict. Instead many brokers said they had commissions to buy five or six bonds against every one thev had to sell. A sub-committee of three of the com mittee of five sat at tables close to the bond platform fpr the purpose of fix ing minimum prices for inactive bonds l or making any changes which might become necessary in the announced minimum quotations of active issues. Declines in Final Hour Declines were recorded in the final hour. Lorrilarl 5s and 7s falling 2 7-8 and 4 ."-S respectively while Southern' Railway 4s broke six points, Seaboard Air Line a ijustments 9 points and Wa bash first 5 1-4. Atchison general 4s ; dropped 11-4 and Erie Ueneral 4 l-2s 2 1-2. Minor recessions were made by Burlington Joint 4s and Heading 4s while Lake Shore Debentures of 1931 broke 1 7-8. The heavy losses sustained by sueh issues at Seaboard Southern Railway and Wabash indicated that the author ities of the Exchange hat virtually re moved all pi-ice restrictions in the more obscure bonds. Among the few additional gains wero Bethlehem Steel os, 1 3-8, American Telephone and Telegraph Convertible 1 1-8, New York Railways Adjust ment 3s, 2-18; Brooklyn Transit os, 1 1-4; Texas Company Convertibles 6s, 1 1-2, and Hook Island Collateral 4s, 1 3-8. The total business for the ses?ion i>.mn::uted to $641,000 par value, with Ja.OoO in government bonds. Frederick's War on Coffee In a manifesto issued bv Frederick the Oreat in 1779 the mighty monarch deplored "the increased consumption of coffee by my subjects and the amount of money that goes out of the country in consequence. Everybody is using coffee. This must no longer 'bo. My subjects must drink beer. His majesty was brought up on beer, and so were his ancestors. Innumerable battles have 'been fought and won by soldiers nourished on beer, and the King does not believe that coffee drink ing soldiers can be defended upon to and ure hardships or to conquer his enemies should another war occur." Coffee roasting was made a government monopoly, and a prohibitive price was charged for the 'berry. "Coffee smel-" lors" were appointed all over Prussia to check illicit roasting. Coffee was, therefore, ousted from popular favor.— London Chronicle. What's In a Name How we like to hypnotize ourselves with names! Take for example, the case of the muskrat, an animal of most ■clean feeding habits, whose fletfh is sweet, tender and of delicate flavor. In the winter months muskrat meat is in considerable demand in the mar kets of the 'Middle Atlantic States, but its sells 'best as ' * marsh rabbit' * or " water Squirrel." So, too, the students of the old Latin quarter in Paris when they expressed a miW doubt of the possibility of ra'bbit pie at so modest a price weYe reassured by the sugges tion that it might be the 'rabbit of the roofs.'' —-Youth's Companion.
