4 CAPITOL'HILL TO REORGANIZE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S DEPARTMENT Bill Now Being Drafted Under the Personal Supervision of Mr. Brown Is Said to Have the Backing of Governor Brumbaugh A bill is now being drafted under the personal supervision of Attorney General Brown, which is said to have the backing ot° Governor Brumbaugh, for the reorganization of the Attorney General's Department, which is intend ed to have one general legal force for the Commonwealth. At present the At torney General and three assistants comprise the State's legal foree, the salaries aggregating $35,000. But, out side of this, there is special legal help for various departments that cost the State in the neighborhood of SIOO,OOO in the past two years. These extra counsel are attached to t!he Dairy and Food, Health, Mining, Fish, Game. Education, Insurance and Other branches of the government. It is eontemplated, by creating a distinct legal staff, to provide the Attorney General with a force that will have charge of all legal matters of every branch of the government, oue that will devote its full time to the affairs of State instead of a few prescribed or •special duties. The reorganization was tirst suggested in the report of the Economy and Efficiency Commission by \Harry S. McDevktt, the chairman. Mrs. Johnson Burled The fuueral of Mrs. Charles Johnson, wife of Insurance Commissioner John son, took place this afternoon at Nor nstown. and out of respect to the head of the department the offices were I closed. The attaches sent a beautiful I floral tribute for the casket. After More Properties The Capitol Park Commission will meet to-morrow for the purpose of tak ing over some more properties in the tighth ward. The fact that the Hiekok property has been taken over has led a number of those who wehe holding j back to come to the front to listen to The Commission's proposition, and it is expected that there will be no difficulty hereafter in securing all of the remain ing properties. To Address Rot a nans < Governor Brumbaugh will this even ing address the big national gathering of Rotarians in Philadelphia. Want Better Light Th t » lighting system in some of the departments on Capital Hill have been found to be inadequate and in many ; eases desk lamps are required in order to get sufficient light to transact bu?i , ness. The* Auditor General's Depart ment is now engaged in installing a new system over the desks in the book-1 keepers' department which it is thought J will fill the nee? for good service. Pardon Seasons The reasous given for the pardon of , twelve applicants before the Board of. Pardons last week have been prepared I and after receiving the s.gna;ures of the members of the Board will be sent to the Governor for approval. The prisoners will then be released.

Coal That's Clean The condition of the coal when it is deposited in the bin has much to do with its burning qualities. The-methods employed in the Kellev yards insure the delivery of clean eoal. Every pound is screen ed before weighing—this means clean coal and honest weight. And then, when the weather permits, the load is sprinkled. Nothing but coal gets into your cellar. H. M. KELLEY & CO. 1 N. Third Street Tenth and State Streets VALUE OF SILK OUTPUT IN AMERICA GROWS RAPIDLY Jump* From 941,000,000 to «a 00,00©.- 000 In Thirty-FLR* TMM —lncreased Imports of Raw Material and Rapid Growth in Domestic Manufacture Washington, D. C., Feb. 23.—The silk manufacturers of the I'nited states in the .thirty-live years since. 1880 have increased the value of their output from $41,000,000 to upwards of $200,000,- 000, have consumed in that time about 450,000,000 pounds of raw material and have increased their proportion of the domestic consumption of silk goods from a little over onenhalf the total in 1880 to more than four-fifths iu 1910, the latest year eovered by the reports of tlie government. The tiscal year 1914 surpassed all previous years in the quautity of raw silk imported intX, this country, the total for that year, according to the figures of the Bureau of Foreign Do mestic Commerce, Department of Com merce, being 34.500,000 pounds, against 32.000,000 in 1913, 13,000.0U0 in 1900, 2,500,000 in ISBO and a half miHion in 1870. This rapid growth in imports of raw silk is reflected in the rapid expausion in the product of domestic silk manu facturing establishments, the value thereof rising steadilv from $12,000,- 000 in 1870 to $41,000,000 in 1880. $87,000,000 in 1890. $107,000,000 in 1900 and $197,000,000 in 1910. The importation of silk manufactures has been conversely affected and the value of silk goods imported last year, $35,- 4 55,000, is less than the total recorded thirty years ago, and substantially the same as that of sixty years ago. Japan supplies a large and increasing proportion of the raw silk consumed in American factories. Ten years ago she furnished more than half of the total, while last year her share was nearly three-fourths. Of the 12.631,000 jounds of raw silk imported in 191>4, 6.691,0u0 pounds were from Japan, 3,- 355.000 from China, and 2,095,000 from Italy. In 1914 there were import ed 28,500.000 pounds of raw silk iu skeins reeled from the cocoon or re reeled, exclusive of waste, and of this amount Japan's sfaare was 20,196.000 pounds against 5.927,000 from China, and 1,997.000 from Italy. It is inter esting to note that a considerable part of this increased importation ot' raw silk from Japan is paid for by Amer ican cotton. In 1904 we exported to Javan 23,000,000 pounds of raw cotton and in 1914 nearly 177,000,000 pounds. Of the $35,500,000 worth of silk manufactures imported in the lust fiscal year $12,232,000 worth, or more than one-third, consisted of fabrics woven iu the piece; $5,752,000 spun silk or seha; pe yarn; $4,246,000 wearing ap parel; $4,351,000 laces and about $3,- 000.000 each consisted of ribbons, and of plushes, velvets and other pile fabrics. In addition over $4,000,000 worth of artificial silks, mostly yarns and threads, for use in domestic fac tories. were imported. France supplied over one-half, Japan one-fourth, and Switzerland one-eighth of the silk fabrics imported. Of the silk laces and embroideries imported France furnished over three-fourths. Of the plushes and velvets imported we bought $1,712,000 from France and $1,056,000 from Germany out of a to tal of $3,025,000 last year. Switzer land ranks next to France in- the supply of ribbons, their respective shares being $1,136,000 and $1,830,000 out of a total of $3,112,000. The silk clothing imported into the United States is largely from-France, imports therefrom totaling $2,848,000. as compared with less than a half million dollars' worth from England or Japan, a quarter mil ; lion from Germany and about $109,000 1 from Switzerland. The customs revenues on imported j silk manufactures in the fiscal year j 1914 aggregated $16,704,000, equiva- \ lent to 4S per cent, ad valorem, against I $13,955,000, or 52 per cent, ad valorem ! in 1913. t'nder the present tariff law j the rich man's silks cost him more and' the poor map °s silks cost 'him less than formerly. The law changed the rate of duty from $3 per pound and upward on silk goods to 45 per cent, ad valorem. Thus a 32-ounce bolt of silk containing, say twenty yards, and worth $2 at the foreign port of shipment, which for merly paid $6 duty, now pays only 90 cents. • CAMPING CLI B CELEBRATES Oldest Organization of Its Kind Holds Annual Banquet Twenty-five members of the oldest camping club of the State, "The Ex plorers, '' which was organized forty four years ago at Ohaniiberaburg, held their annual banquet at the Colonial Country Club yesterday afternoon at 1 o 'clock.

GRAND OPERADROWNS THE RACFIIE AT THE OSPHEUM Omar Company Splendidly Renders Se lections From Verdi—Among Oth er Performers on Bill Is Bear on Roller Skates Ragtime is plentiful, as usual, on the bill which opened at the Orpheum yes terday, but the grand opera in the closing act completely drowns it. The musii which the Omar company pro vides is of the sort seldom heard by vaudeville patrons, but always enjoyed when it is heard, for it is the music of all time. The act is in four scenes, and selec tions are given from Verdi's "II Trov atore'' and "Rigolctto." Miss Kath leen Nordy, dramatic soprano, in the role of Leonora in the tower scene, has a wonderful voice, which blends well with that of H. C. Svlvers, tenor, as ilanrico. The closing seehe, with the splendidly harmonious singing of the principals and chorus is a finale of the sort which one wishes every Orpheum j show could provide, which arrangement is. of course, out of the question. Skating Bear a Novelty The skatiug bear is surely a novelty. The beast wears roller skates and keeps j on its hind feet very successfully. It j is graceful fur a bear, although its un- ! avoidable awkwardness is a pleasing \ part of the performance. Speaking about animal acYs, there ! i are Hoey and Lee, who persist in call- j | ing each other monkeys and do their : , best to act the parts. Their antics are !of the usual comedian variety. Their i I popular song parodies are good. The Wille brothers.do stunts in equi- j ; librium which are leally remarkable. !If anybody in the audience is not j forced to hold his breath at times; during the act, it must be some ir- j responsible fellow in the gallery who is himself out of harm's way and does not care what happens. Occupants of orchestra seats are very noticeably nervous during the performance. Milton Pollock and company, in "Speaking to Father." have the big comedy act of the bill; Harry and Eva Puck are pleasing in songs and dances. ! and Augusta Glose is a clever enter • tainer. even if most of the applause j does go to her accompanist, a most j skillful pianist. SECOND RAYMOND TALK To Speak on "Measuring Men" in Chestnut Street Hall ' The second of the three talks upon. | " Making Good in Business" will be de ! livered in the small Chestnut street au i ditorium to-night at 8 o'clock by Frank Jewel Raymond. It deals with " Meas ; uring Men," the following point's "being i analyzed: "Sizing l*p.'' "Oeating • Congenial Atmosphere,' "Dealing With i Different Types" and "Keeping Pace ' With Customer." Harrisburg business men who have heard Mr. Raymond deliver to-ni^ht's talk at national conventions in differ ent cities say it is unusually interesting and beneficial.

'' Heople these days are exercising better judgment in their selection of motor cars. They are far sighted. They are choosing their cars on the basis of the economy they will secure in the long run —which, after all, is the log ical way. "The difference of a few dollars in first cost between one ear and auothor is no longer the determining factor. Neither is the difference of a few dol lars one way or the other iu the cost of gasoline or oil during the course of the year. Even the slight saving Which one car may show over another in the item of tire expense no longer clinches the decision of a motor car buyer. "It is the saving |>ossible in repair expense that is the big, important sav ing. One way in which good design and good building evidence themselves is by cutting down repair expense. Ono reason why some cars are better than othoirs is because they do not roll up big repair bills. "So when 1 predict that this year will be remembered as a year of econ omy in the automobile industry, I do i not mean to imply that people will buy lower priced cars tluan they did before. First cost is only one phase of the question, and wise motor car buyers, when hesitating between two cars of almost equal price will buy the more expensive machine of the two providing that car can show better performance at a lower all-around cost of operation. "Economy in oil consumption is a still less important item, for the great est possible saving in oil expense is a negligible factor. '' Repair economy is the economy that counts. One repair bill may wipe out all the saving of a year in gasoline and oil. That is why motor car buyers to-day are casting their verdict in fa vor of cars that keep repair expense at a minimum. There are four that peo.ple these days look for when seeking motor car economy which is real motor car economy.—Adv. • BARRED FROM HOTELS Jack Johnson Not Welcomed by Ha- vana Bonifaces Havana, Feb. 23.—The unexpected appearance in Havana early yesterday of Jack Johnson, the negro heavy weight pugilist who is on his way to Mexico to fight Jess Willard in det'ensa of the world's heavyweight pugilistic championship, was followed by his equally unexpected disappearance from public view.
