1915 BUILDING OUTLOOK
EXCEEDS OTHER YEARS
H. C. Wright Will Erect Handsome
Semi-Bungalows On Spruce Street
Near Sixth—Brickwork of Theatre
Front and Pine, Up to Second Story
The outlook for building operations
in the borough in 1915, are better than
it has been for several years. Borough
contr,jf»tors are having more inquiries
about the cost of erecting single and
double dwellings than for some time. So
far as known the largest individual
building plan announced, was mado
known by H. C. Wright, who this morn
ing stated he would soon begin the erec
tion of a number of double semi-bunga
low houses to front on Spruce street in*
the eleventh extension to the borough.
These buildings, when completed will
be neat and commodious and each pair
will be placed in the center of a sixtv
foot plot of ground, allowing plenty of
side room for lawn purposes.
The new theatre building being erect
ed by R. M. Freyf at Front and Pine
streets, is progressing slowly at present
on account of the inclement weather.
The brickwork has reached the second
storv and carpenters will soon lay the
joist for that story.

HARItISBTTRG STAR-INDEPENDENT, WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 3, 1915
SERVICE BOARD HIAKE-UP
RESTS WITH TBE GOVERNOR
Confirmation of Gaither, Particularly,
Is Reported to Depend on Dr.
Brumbaugh's Wishes—Conference
Saturday to Decide
'Senators who have takeu the pains
to make inquiries say that the con
firmation of some of Governor Tener's
appointments to the Public Service
Commissiou now rests with
Brumbaugh, and that if he says the
word the Senate Committee on Execu
tive Nominations will at once report
out the nam.'s of at least three of the
Commissioners for confirmation, these
three being Commissioners Pennypack
er, Brecht and Gaither.
On the confirmation of Pennypack
er and Brecht there seems to be no
question, but on tnat of Gaither it
seems, from what can be learned, that
the committee is almost equally divid
ed, Senators Crow, Sproul and Catliu
favoring (Jailher, with Senators lie-
Nichol, Kline and Snyder opposing him,
leaving the balance of power with Sen
ator Yare, who has said that he will
be guided by Governor Brumbaugh's
wishes in the matter. If the Governor
desires Gaither to be confirmed, Senator
Vare will vote for Gaither, and, if not,
he will vote against him.
Commissioner Wallace is said to have
sent in his resignation to Governor
Brumbaugh, which leaves Commission
ers Wright, Johnson and Tone as the
trio on whom the committee is unde
cided. Commissioner Wright has oppo
sition that is not apparent, and it is
said that there also is opposition to
Commissioner Johnson because of his
having made public a decision of the
Commissiou to the railroad companies
in the passenger rate case before the
announcement, was made to the com
plainants. Commissioner Tone is sup
posed to have opposition Because of his
former connection with the streot rail
way companies of Pittsburgh.
As yet nothing definite has been de
termined and the matter, it is rumored,
will be brought to head at a confer
ence to be held in Philadelphia on Sat
urday.

the kind that only Florida produces. Sometime Florida grapefruit is picked and shipped before it is ripe | ft

ter, Attorney General of New Bruns
wick, to be based on section 23 of
the Criminal Code. This suction is as
follows:
"Every one is guilty of an indict
able offense and liable to life imprison
ment who unlawfully, with intent to I
injure or endanger the safety of any 1
persons traveling or .-ping on any raii- i
way, injures or destroys any train,'
bridge or fence of said railway or any ]
portion thereof.''
Mr. Baxter ?aid that if Van Horn j
were brought to Canada and indicted I
he would lie tried in Charlotte county, !
N. B. The offense charged, he said, j
was cove>ed by an extension made in i
lflOO to the extradition treaty of 1889 ,
between Canada rii.rl the United States j
pronouncing a.-, extraditable any •' wil
ful and unlawful destruction or ob
struction of riilroads which endangers
human life."
Dynamiter Known in New York
New 'l ork, Feb. 3. —Werner Van]
Horn, who attempted to blow up the
international bridge over the St. Croix
river at Vanceboro, Me., early yester
day morning, had many acquaintances
among his countrymen in this city,
gained dHring his two months' stay
here.
According to friends here, Van Horn
was formerly a captain of pioneers in
the Bavarian army. It was also said
that he claimed to be the eldest son of
Count Karl Van Horn, former War
Minister of Bavaria and a general in
the Bavarian army.
Since leaving the Bavarian army sev
eral years ago, Van Horn spent some
| time in South America and Mexico,
I where he was . when the war started.
I He tried to find passage to Germany to
i rejoin his regiment and, failing, came
i to New York about two months ago.
I While here, it is said. Van Horn fre
! quently discussed reports that Canadian
1 troops had been transported across
American territory in Maine.
Busy Building Up a Case
Vanceboro, Mo., Feb. 3. —The Do
-1 minion authorities were busy to-day
1 building up a case to support thwir re
quest for the extradition of Werner
Van Horn who yesterday attempted the
destruction of ihe international bridge
over the St. Croix river.
Before noon a large party of secret
service officers arrived here from Mon
treal. Their business was to establish
that Van Horn lial deliberately caused
damage to n railroad and so commit
ted an offense which is extraditable un
der the treaty between the United
States and Canada. At the same time
the question whether Van Horn was a
criminal or pjlitical offender was to be
made the » object of exchanges between
Ottawa and Washington.
Regrets Slight Damage to Bridge
Van Horn, stiill claiming to be an
officer of the German army, and appear
ing ta feel secure in his position that
he ha i' properly committed an act of
war and »o could not be exltradited,
aiwaited events with composure. </"is
only regret, so far as expressed, is that
he succeeded in damaging the bridge
'but slightly. It has been stated that
he would appeal to the German embas
sy at Washington, but so far as known,!
he has made no move in this direction

charge has been preferred against him,
anil lie is detained only on the author

until an inquiry into the faets of his
ease can be made.
Warrant Ready for Emergency
It was explained that he could be
held in definitely unless a writ of
habeas corpus on his behalf was ob
tained. Van Horn has shown no dispo
sition to seek his liberty, but provision
has been made to forestall such pro
cedure. A local trial justice stands
ready to issue a warrant for the arrest
of the dynamiter on any one of sev
eral charges th-at have bc.-n suggested.
These include the illegal transportation
of dynamite and of causing damage in
this town, where the windows of some
buildings were broken bv the explosion. I
Trains Again Cross Bridge
P. R. Taylor, of St. John, N. 8., I

I cific railway, said to-day that he would |
send papers to Ottawa to-night which j
j would be forwarded later to Washing-!
i ton in connection with the Canadian
'government's application for Van
Horn's extradition. It was said to
day that Van .Horn had been stopping
at the Harritea hotel, Staten Island,
N. Y., for some weeks.
Temporary repairs to the bridge al

I cross it to-day, although the speed was
limited to six miles an hour.
LICENSE TRANSFER GRANTED j
Court Says Contention That There Isj
No Need For Hotel Can Be Made
Only at End of License Year
In permitting the liquor license of
'the hotel, 237-39 West Ann street,
I Middletown, to be transferred from j
John A. Haas to Harry White, Judges
I Kunkel and McCarrell late yesterday
| set forth that once a court of law has
j granted for one year a hotel liquor li-
I (?hise, the question of the necessity for
that license has been settled for that
year, and the court cannot reopen the
issue.
The court in effect announced the
absence of its authority to entertain a
hearing at which some three or four
hundred remonstrants, opposed to the
hotel, had proposed, without attacking
the character and fitness of the license
applicant, to show that the hotel "now
is not a necessity."
Harry B. Saussaman, counsel for the
remonstrants, said: "We opposed this
transfer now, because we thought if we
did not do so at this time and permit
ted the IK-ense to be transferred now, it
might prejudice our case at the regular
license court on February 19."
'"We don't see how you can preju
dice your case," began Judlge Kunkel.
"Besides, you do not permit the trans
fer. You have nothilug to do withthai
Any one may come in when application
is made for relicensing the hotel and
show, if he can, that there no loifger irfl
a necessity for the license. Licenses
are granted for one year and no assur
ance is given to any one that they will
! be granted for another year. Any on?!
who puts his money into the liquor busi
ness does at his own'risk."
The remojjstrance, opposing the
transfer of the license, will be filed in
I connection with the application for the j
new license, the court was informed,
and the case was closed.
