BRUMBAUGH He Will Be Inaugurated To-morrow as Governor of Pennsylvania automobile to be provided for him and the inaugural party, including the inau gural committee, will follow in other automobiles. The retiring Governor will leave at once for the Pennsylvania sta tion and take the train to Chicago. The inaugural party will traverse the route of parade, escorted by the Gover nor 's Troop, and on its arrival at the grand stand will alight and await the coming of the parade, which will start at onee, presumably about 1.15, or sooner, if possible, and will be reviewed as it marches up Third street on the way to Hamilton street. Plans for To-morrow Evening As the end of the procession passes the reviewing stand Governor Brum baugh, Lieutenant Governor McClain and the inaugural party will proceed to the Executive Mansion for luncheon. The procession, after passing over the route of parade, will be reviewed in Market (square by General E. DoV. Morrell. the Grand. Marshal, and staff. At S o'clock in the evening Governor Brumbaugh will hold a public reception at the capitol, in the House caucus room. The general public will be ad mitted, going in the main entrance, passing to the right to the caucus room door, thence' past the receiving party and out at the north door. Automo biles bearing those who wish to attend the reception will go to the south wing j door and the occupants will alight and tgo by that entrance to the House eau- Details of State police will be sta jtioned to keep the crowd in line and to ; preserve order, and no undue crowding will be permitted. After the reception Governor Brumbaugh will attend the inaugural ball at the Chestnut street hall, remaining for a short while to greet those present. Then he will go i to the Executive Mansion for the night. The Plan in Oase of Rain Cloudy and colder weather with a re mote prospect of rain is the forecast for ' to-morrow. A storm appeared in Ala | bama this morning and on the vagaries of that storm depends the weather for Inauguration Day in Harrisburg. Should its eour«e be northeastward there will be cloudy weather without rain, but ; should its direction be more nearly in a straight line north rain here will re sult. A high pressure area to the West has given the weather observers some hope that the storm will be pushed out Continued on Sevruth I'ase DR. BRUMBAUGH TO NAME HIS CABINET TO-NIGHT The general opinion on Capitol Hill this afternoon, based on what came from Philadelphia, was that the next Attorney General of Pennsylvania will be Francis Shunk Brown, of Philadel phia. Governor-elect Brumbaugh will announce his Cabinet appointments upon his arrival in this city to-night. Dr. Brumbaugh will -have to turn down 15 other applicants for the place, as he is said to have a list of sixteen attorneys, all of whom think they coiuld safely care for the State's legal affairs in the next four* years. Gossip still is rife over the make-up of the new Governor's Cabinet, aud no body professes to be able to make the guess as to its composition. There does not seem to be anything settled regarding the position of Sec retary of the Commonwealth, except that it is generally believed that Rob ert McAfee, the present secretary, will not be retained, and that same eastern man, or somebody from the Valley, will be taken. The political quid nuncs don't seem to be able to make a guess, and they are as much at sea as the tyros. It was said to-ilay that Alfred R. Houck, of Lebanon, at present chief of the Bureau of Statis'tics, applied for the place, and that Samuel I. Spyker, of Huntingdon, is looking longingly to ward it. Spyker was chairman of the Republican county committee and ar ranged the Huntingdon receptions for Dr. Brumbaugh. HARKISBURG. PA., MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 18, 1915—10 PAGES. IE CLUB KICKS BN PLACEII 111 Congressman Files Pro test Against Plan to Put His Marchers at Rear of Division CONFERENCE TO ADJUST ROW He Will Confer With Inaugural Com mittee Late To-day and It Is Likely His Men Will Be Given Place Im mediately Behind McNichol's Club When the Legislative Inaugural Com mittee arranged the second 5r Civic Di vision of the Inaugural parade it placed the Philadelphia Republican Club, known as the McXichol Club, at the head of the division, and the South Philadelphia Republican Club, known as the Vare Club, at the rear of the divis ion. These will be the two largest and most imposing civic clubs in line. Congressman Vare, of Philadelphia, was made marshal of the Civic Division as an honor to the South Philadel phians, and the committee thought it had arrived at a very happy solution of the question and that honors were even. However, Congressman Vare does not think so, and the old rivalry be tween the two clubs cropped out to-dav when he called up the committee and protested ."gainst his club being placed at the rear of the division. He wanted another place. In his mind the honor of being marshal does not compensate for the fact that his club has been placed at the rear of the division. It was accordingly agreed that the Congressman meet the inaugu ral committee late tHL< afternoon, on the arrival of the South Philadelphia organization,' and endeavor to have a rearrangement of the line. Vare wants his club to be at the head of the line Continued on Seventh t*nse SLIT CASE FOR TENER FROM ATTACHES OF HIS OFFICE The attaches of the Executive De partment gave Governor Tcuer a sur prise this morning when they walked into his private office in a body and presented to him a handsome suit case as a token of their esteem. Go\ernor Tener was much surprised when Executive Clerk James C. Dein inger. in a neat speech, handed him the gift. The Governor said that it was not necessary for his intimates to give him any thing to remember them by as he should always hold them in happv re membrance because of the pleasant re lations he has had with them. Later Quartermaster Sergeant Wil liam L. Hicks, and Color Sergeant Leo A. Luttringer, of Governor Toner's non commissioned military staff, called and presented him with the Governor's flag carried on all occasions in the past four years when the staff turned out with the Governor. This presentation is a pretty custom always observed as an honor to the retiring Governor. Gov ernor Tener was much impressed by the graceful courtesr. STATE. COUNTY AND CITY OFFICESTO CLOSE TO MORROW Inauguration day to-morrow will be a sort of semi-holiday in Harrisburg. and many institutions will close their doors. State, county and city offlces will be closed, many business houses are planning to close during the time for the parade and employes of the postoffiee will have a half-holiday. It is not, however, a legal holiday and banks will remain opjn. The city schools will be closed all day, the .School Board having so decid ed on Friday night. City offices will be closed, a resolution to that effect having been passed by the City Com missioners. The regular Tuesday meet ing of the City Commissioners has been postponed until Wednesday. Some of the downtown stores have agreed to the suggestion of the Harris burg Chamber of Commerce to close while the parade is passing. The sug gestion was that the stores close from 12.30 to 2.30 oclock. Th main postoffiee and the Hill and Maclav street stations will close at noon and remain closed until 7 o'clock. The regnlar morning deliveries anil collec tions of mail will be made and the us ual night collections will be made. I>R. BROIBUGH AND FAMILY WILL ARRIVE THIS EVENING Dr. Martin G.

LAW-MAKERS WILL HOLD BRIEF SESSION TO-NIGHT Chairmanships Are About Agreed on. but the Memberships of the Various Committees Will Hardly Be An nounced Before Wednesday Both Senate and House will hold short sessions to-night, the House meeting at i> o'clock and the Senate at a. It was expected that the pre siding o&cers of both houses would be ready to announce their committees, but that will be impossible, and the committees will hardly be ready before Wednesday morning, according to what the leaders say. This delay is occasioned by the scramble foi chairmanships. Two years ago a Committee on l oinmittees ar ranged for the committees, ootli as a whole and as to chairmansnips. There was a great deal of dissatisfaction in the House, but no delay. This year Speaker Ambler is selecting his commit tees with the aid of the Republican leaders in the House, subject to the revision by Dr Brumbaugh, and, as a matter of course, tthere is delay. The Senate wrangle this year was over the chairmanship of the Appropri ations Committee, but that was eventu ally settled by Senator Buckman, of Bucks, getting the plum, if a place full or' vexations and worries can be called a plum. In the House George W. Williams, of Tioga, will be chairman of the Law and Continued on Fourth I'nae. STATE COLLEGE CADETS COMING Glee Club, Too.

Scott, the colored patrol i man charged with murder growing out iof the fatal shooting on August 1, last, of Nathan Banks, colored, at 1119 Monroe street, this city, took the wit ness stand this morning in his own be half in a holdover session of criminal court conducted by .ludge S. J. M. 'McCarrell, and declared emphatically that he had no intention of shoot'ng Banks and that his revolver was dis charged by accident. A dozen or more character witnesses, mostly patrolmen and other persons connected with the city police depart ment, testified as to Scott's good repu tation both as a policeman and a civilian. Two dozen others, mostly business men of the city, counsel for the defense said, will be put on the stand this afternoon. It was the gen eral opinion in the Court >llouse that a verdict will be rendered by late aft ernoon or this evening. It was said at noon that an evening session of court will likely be held, if necessary, to wind up the case to-day, so that the judges and court attaches may attend the inaugural ceremonies to-morrow. Counsel for the defendant, in opening Scott's side of the case, asked the jury to acquit their client on the ground that the firing of the fatal shot was an accident. As an excuse for drawing the weapon, Scott said he did it "in the excitement of the moment and also in view of the fact that he knew Banks to be a bad character—a lawless eitizen of the Tenderloin." Hutchison Testifies for Scott Policemen, including Chief of Police Joseph 'B. Hutchison, Lieutenant J.

German forces occupied French posi tions near La Boisselle, and in the Argoune, and the Germans are still con testing a French advance near Pont- A-Motisson. The statement is as fol lows: ''ln the neighborhood of Nieuport yesterday there were artillery duels but nothing else. No attacking movements have been undertaken by the enemy in the last few days. British mines havo been washed ashore as several places on the coast. "At La Boisselle, northeast of Al bert, our troops who again had estab lished themselves in the church yard of l«i Boisselle and in the hamlet to the southwest, attacked the French with the bayonet and drove them from their po sitions. We took prisoner three officers and 100 men. Several French trenches have been captured in the Argonne for est. The French detachments occupy ing them were almost annihilated. The French attack on our positions to the northwest of Pont-a-Mousson, against a hill which is two kilometres (a mile and one-fifth) south of Veleey, advanced as far as our trenches. This fighting is still going on. "In the Vosges and in Upper Alsace a heavy snow storm and fogs have pre vailed, interfering with the fighting. "The situation in East Prussia has undergone no change. In Northern Po land the Russians attempted an advance across a branch of the river Wkra, near Radzanow, hut were repulsed. Nothing of importance has transpired in Polish Vistula."

We here later repulsed a counter attack and maintained all our gains. "In the Vosges there has been a heavy fall of snow. The enemy bom barded Thann, but without inflicting serious damage.''

ACTIVITY OF GERMANS ON THE VISTULA Kaiser's Forces Direct ing Their Efforts to Push Russians Be yond the River MAKE 6 ATTACKS SATURDAY NIGHT At Plock and Mlaw'a tho Germans Ap pear to Be ou the Defensive, Hav ing Been Slowly Pushed Back by the Russians Hetrogracl, Via London, Jan. 18, 5.05 A. M.—Recent developments in the vicinity of Warsaw appear to indi cate that the Germans are directing their efforts to push the Russians oe vond the east bank of the Vistula at the junction of that river with tho Pilicia. It is the opinion of a high military authority that, the Germans, with the co-operation of the Austrians, are seek ing to force their way through from tho vicinity of the upper Nida, where re cently hard fighting has been recorded. Holding a line of trenches and fortifica tions directly west of Warsaw, the Ger man activity for the past fifty hours has been around a big village between Sochai/.ew and Bolimow, where six at tacks in succession were made Satur day night. In the region of Plock and Mlawla the Germans appear to be on the de fensive. They Irive been slowly pushed back by the Russians, who are reported to be capturing new villages. Satur day, it is said, the Russians crossed tho river Skrwa, which outers the Vistula, a few miles below P.jck. Southward the Austrian* have forli • tied along the river Dunajec and are be sieging Tnrnow with heavy artillery. Their aim is believed to be to push eastward and relieve Przemysl. With all Bukowina in the hands of the Russians, only one puss, which is strongly fortified, prevents an invasion of Transylvania, Hungary. The reorganization of the Austrian army, through whieh an Austro-German element predominates on the eastern front, where formerly there was a large percentage of Slavs, is said to have worked a notable improvement in effi ciency. The Austrian Slavs are report ed to ha>e been sent to the French front. BERLIN PLACES LOSSES OF THE ALLIES AT 150,000 Berlin, Jan. IS.—An official state ment issued by the German War Office says: "About four weeks ago the order for a general attack which had been decided upon by the French authorities in December was given. The attempt ed attacks of the enemy in the western theatre were met by the necessary steps on our part. The enemy's attacks brought him no success worthy of men tion, whereas our troops north of Lia Basse, on the Aisne, and in the Argonne made very satisfactory progress. "The losses of the enemy during this period, counted by us, amount to 20,- 000 killed and about 17,860 prisoners. He will now known from experience that v together with the wounded his losses are in proportion of 1 to 4 apart from the number of sick and missing, the grand total being 150,000 men.
