' MAY ESTABLISH MUNICIPAL
HOSPITAL IK ALMSHOUSE
Plan Is Being Considered of Putting It
in Quarters Now Occupied aa. Tuber
cular Ward Whose Patients Would
Be Provided for Elsewhere
The abolition of tho tubercular ward
in the Dauphin counrty almshouse and
the transfer of its dozen patients to an
i institution where they can receive the
same if not better treatment, has 'been
suggested as a means of providing quar
ters at the Almshouse for the Muuicipal
I Hospital which is proposed by the Di
i rectors of the Poor us a place for the
f treatment of patients suffering with
I transmittible diseases.
Should the Poor Board decide to open
the Municipal Hospital in the almshouse
it will be the means of saving, pri
| marilv at least, the cost of constructing
] a hospital building. However it is esti
mated that the cost of building and
equipping a hospital would not exceed
| reports of similar institutions Which
| now are being operated in other cities.
Data obtained regarding the Jlu
! nieipal Hospital in Providence, R. T.,
| till rough a ! H a rrisibu rg girl who until re
cently was a nurse in that institution,
I shows that the initial cost of eoustruct
j ing and equipping the Providence hos
\ pital was but $22,052. However, that
i hospital is built 011 a larger scale than
1 would be necessary in Dauphin county
| since provision was made there for tak
i ing eare of a hundred or more patients
1 at one time.
1 During one year exactly t>l9 patients
| were enrolled in the Providence lios
! pital. The average stay of the patients
was thirty-five days while the average
| daily population was 71. The average
j cost was $1.52 per capita. This in
; cjuded the month of January and Feb
ruary when there were no patients in
the hospital and also included the cost
of new equipment purchased during the
vear.
The Directors of the Poor, it is ex
pected, will take some action toward
establishing a hospital in this county
I in their January meeting.
BUtLDiNC THOUGHT UNSAFE
Contactors' Witness Says He Would
Not Live in the House at
GO;s York Avenue
Tiie hearing in which Judge MtfCar
• rell is asked to make 'peremptory a
preliminary injunction restraining
Building Inspector James H. Grove
from razing the three-story brick prop
erty at UU3 York avenue, dragged along
to-day with the sixth witness ou the

i of the afternoon.
It is expected that the case will not

for a week or ten days. Thirty or more
' witnesses yet must be heard" and the
city will not open its ease before the
latter part of the week.
The York avenue, house belongs to
John Wagner, who is made a partv de

is alleged, by James J. Lynch and \V.

bulged several inches and it was con

contractors declare tliey were compelled
to "go ahead with the work and finish

Continued From Flrat Page*
vious to the southern extremity of the
wedge thrust by the Germans into the
French line,
Such confident claims have been
made by the allies during the last week
concerning the success of their new
movement against the German line that
the Berlin military authorities have is
sued a special statement to contradict
them. The French official statements,
in particular, have recorded a long se
ries of victories, including the destruc
tion of a number of Oerman batteries,
the capture of trenches and the rout of
| the German infantry attacks along al-
I most the whole line, tfhe German
! statements, however, have said that
there is little activity and to-day's an
; nouncement from Berlin characterizes
, the French report of December 12 con
-1 cerning the destruction of batteries
and capture of trenches as "'a pure
I invention."
The definite statement is made in
Rotterdam that the Germans have be
gun a retreat, falling back in Belgium
toward a prepared line further from the
coast. Official confirmation was lack
! ing, however.
It is announced in Berlin that the
Turkish cruiser Midirli, formerly the
German warship Breslau, has bombard
ed the Russian Black sea port of Seb
astopol, although with what effect is
not stated. The Sultan of Turkey, ad
dressing Parliament, asserted that Tur
key had been forced into the war by
the hostile acts of Russia, France and
; England.

GENERAL RISE IN STOCKS
IN OPEN TRADING SESSION
Participated lu by the So-called Inter
national Group, Most of These Issues
Making Conspicuous Gains Over
July 30 Prices
/?.ty Associated Press.
Wall Street, New York, 10.30 A. M.
—The first o-pen session of trading in
all the shares listed ou the Stock Ex
change began to-day with a further
general rise which was participated in
by t'he so-called international group,
including I nion Pacific, Southern Pa
cific, Canadian Pacific, Baltimore and
Ohio and IT.l T . S. Steel. Most of these
issues made conspicuous gains over July
;i() prices, particularly steel and Cana
dian Pacific. Steel was offered in largo
blocks and Southern Pacific also
changed hands in round amounts. The
balance of the list was inclined to re-
I sume its upward movement of the two
preceding sessions. Within the first fif
i teen minutes, however, it became ap
parent that offerings were in excess of
•demand and numerous substantial reces
sions set in with declines of 1 # to 3
points below yesterday's closing.
Business fell away during the first
hour and prices continued to sag. Be
fore the end of tile morning session
practically nothing remained of the
opening gains. Instead, declines of l'i
to almost four points from top figures
were general. Union Pacific was heav
iest of the high grade shares. Tiiere
were indications also of moderate sell
ing in steel. I'tiion Pacific and Balti
more and Ohio for foreign interests.
I Honda were less active and irregular.

IN COLLECTORSHIP RACE
Friends of Mr. Harris and Other Candi
dates Do Not Concede Warren
Van Dyke Will Get Plum
Despite the alleged "straight tip"
that Warren VauDyke, of Carbon coun
ty, secretary of the Democratic State
committee, is sure to get the appoint
ment as Internal Revenue Collector to
take charge of this revenue district
when Collector Fred C. Kirkendall as
sumes charge of the Hcranton district,
it is not at all certain that Mr. Van-
Dyke is to get the appointment, as the
friends of the other aspirants for the
place are still active and busy and do
not concede that the decision has beeu
reached.
The friends of George A. Harris, of
'McConnellsburg, are by no means let
ting up in their efforts to 'get the ap
pointment for him. .Three strong Dem
ocratic Congressmen are working in
Mr. Harris' interests, and this may ma
terially change the situation. Congress
men Derhem, of the Seventeenth dis
trict, in which Mr. Harris resides; War
ren Worfh Bailey, of the Nineteenth
district, and Wood X. Carr, of the
Twenty-third district, are roported ali
to have declared for Mr. Harris.
Warren VanDyke, who is favored by
some, but not all, of the leaders, is re
ferred to as having resided in this dis
trict tint a *hort time, coming here
from Cartoon county, the home otl
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
James I. Ulakslee, who is backing Tiint
The friends of Dr. M. M. Dougherty,
of Cumberland, are just as sanguiJa
of his chances, but his opponents s*y
that Dougherty was a last hour convert
for McCormick and should not I>e con
sidered, while many Democratic lead
ers of Cumberland county have endorsed
Harris.
T. Kittera VanDyke, of Harrisfourg,
has txxoii very active in presenting his
claims to the State leaders, and it is
said that he has strong backing. The
Dauphin County and Harris'burg City
Democratic committees who arc said to
be back of 'Howard W. Jones, trea.nurer
of the county committee and president
of the Central Democratic Club, have
not in the least relaxed their efforts to
secure the appointment for him.
