At the Arena
Up at the Arena. Third and Delaware
streets, they are going to mix automo
biles, accessories and vaudeville, the
Jlarrisburg Automobile Dealers' Asso
ciation finding in their midst as ex
hibitors three classy vaudeville stars
temporarily in the automobile business
because it is better than the stage.
They have not been able to get the
stars to go 011 before to-morrow, how
ever, but they 'have promised to give
two performances to-morrow and Thurs
day. For to-night the music furnished
by the harpist and violinist will be suf
ficient to entertain the visitors.
E. C. Hulin, a former minstrel man,
with his side partner, W. R. Lupton, of
the Keystone Lubricating Company,
will follow each other on the bill. Huhn
will do a blackface and Lupton a single
turn as a Scotchman in a regulation
suit—bare knees and all. Robert I.
Erliehman, of tl.e One-in-One Piston
Ring Company, will do a monologue as
a "Hebrew." All three were on a
similar bill at Bethlehem and their
fame preceded them to Harrisburg,
hence their engagement as vaudeville
stars.
The crowds at the Arena are grati
fying to the managers of the show, who
have been congratulated on all sides
•by the splendid showing of all types of
ears and accessories.
Both this and the show at Kelker

APPEALS TO RETAREHS TO
OPPOSE TRADING STAMPS
Harrisburg Cham bar of Commerce Asks
Merchants Throughout State to Join
in Ita Fight Against the Stickers—
No Active Lobby at State House
In its fight against trading stamps
and profit-sharing coupons in Pennsyl
vania the Harrisburg ChanVber of Com
merce is putting the question up to the
retailers ol' the State. No active lobby
will be maintained at the State house
where the fight will occur, but the tight
will 'be conducted back home by the
constituents of the mennbers of the
House and Senate.
No organized effort to legislate th-s
trading stamp business out of existence
has been made and the Harrisfburg
Chamber of Commerce is leading the
way by appealing to retailers through
the various commercial organizations in
the State.
The National Betail Drygoods Asso
ciation, which numbers among its -mem
bers the leading retail houses in all
cities of any prominance has 'been en
listed in the fight by the Harrisburg
Chamber of Commerce and a national
camnaign against profit-sharing coupons
•has been started.
The Harrisburg Chamber of Com
merce .feels that the manufacturer who
inserts the so-called profit-sharing cou
pons in his merchandise harms the legit
imate retailer since the price of the
goods to the retailer is advanced.
TENIHWARDERSISIST ON
MORE FIRL PROTECTION
Continued From Furat Pas*.
Medical Society is invited to attend
next week's meeting of the Commis
sion, or a'ny subsequent meeting, for
the purpose of diocussiag ways and
means of providing a municipal hos
pital. Mr. Lynch, author of the reso
lution, and Mayor Royal both express
ed fear that the whole plan would
have to be dropped for lack of funds.
City Richer Than Supposed
When Mayor Royal questioned the
regularity of the proposed plan of pay
ing the cost of repairing the smashed
up Friendship fire engine—$2,000
out of the city general fund, hereto
fore thought to have been absorbed
by the city's annual budget, Commis
sioner Gorgas gave a new estimate of
the city's prcbilble 191.5 receipts, say
ing they will be in the neighborhood
of $557,000. The budget calls for
$553,000, leaving an estimated bal
ance of $4,0*00, and the ordinance was
approved.
Action on the ordinance providing
for the payment of the $1.189.05 as
sessments against school property, in
cident to the grading of Hildrup, Nine
teenth and Chestnut streets, was post
poned for one week. The city has taken
exceptions to the decisions of the
viewers in those grading cases and the
Commissioners expressed fear that the
payment of the assessments would oe
an admission of liability and might
prejudice the city's side' in the pend
ing appeals. The City Solicitor will
be asked for advice on this point.
Ordinances passed finally provided
for the purchase of two street sprink
lers for the highway department and
also for the laying of a water pipe in
Carlisle street, from Holly to Derry.
The ordinance regulating tree trim
ming and planting and placing such
work under the supervision of City
Forester Mueller was introduced to-day
as were also measures providing for
the purchase of scales for the city mar-1
kets and paving Cumberland "street, |
from Fourteenth to Fifteenth. The speci-!
fixations prepared by C. Howard Lloyd
for the erection of the new Royal Fire ;
Company house, were approved.
Contracts Change Hands
The Commission sanctioned the trans
fer of contracts for building sewers in
Wiconisco, Reel, Fifth and Lexington
streets from W. F. Martin to the Cen
tral Construction and Supply Company.
Martin recently underwent an operation
in the Harrit'burg hospital for appen
dicitis and asked to 'be permitted to
assign the jobs. The contract price will
remain unchanged.
The SBSO bond of Jacob Weimer, con
tractor, who is to furnish 5,000 tons of
river coal to the City, was approved by
the Commission. The American Suretv
Company, of New York, is his surety.
Commissioner Bowman's award of half
a dozen water pipe jc'Js to Millard F.
Saul also was approved. The Commis
sion, by a vote of 4 to 1, approved tiie
lease, drawn up by Commissioner 'Bow
man, between the City and the Harris
burg Light and Power Company, provid
ing for the construction of the com
(pany's coal wharf on the Hargest
Island. The Mayor voted against the
measure, saying he though the Commis
sion's approval is superfluous since an
ordinance, passed several weeks ago,
authorized Bowman to execute the
lease.
SEEK JOBS W ITH JITNEY CO.
Men Who Would Be Chauffeurs Besiege
Officers of Proposed 'Bus Line
City Treasurer O. M. C'opelin and
Augustus Wildman, officers of the Jit
ney Transportation Company, which
proposes to operate' a jitney "bus lino
in teh city, went to York to-day to in
spent two types of 'buses, either of
which may be adopted for use in Har
risiburg. The first installment ordered
will be twenty 'buses, said Co>pelin, all
of which will be of eight-passenger ca
pacity.
The coaoh or body of the 'buses will
be constructed so that the passengers
will enter and alight from the front
in full view of the chauffeur. The
small "buses will be in charge of one
man, althougl the larger cars, which
may be bought if the business grows,*
likely will be manned with a driver and
a faretaker also. These larger type
cars have an entrance at the rear.
Officers of the company daily are be
ing besieged by men applying for chauf
efurs' positions. It is the plan now to
have the drivers work on eight or nine
hour shifts, so that about 40 or 50
chauffeurs will b3 employed on twenty
cars when the company starts business
about the middle of April, as it hopes
to do.
Advises Against Ink Solicitor
The Harri#>urg Chamber of Com
merce to-day jssued a word of advise
to its members calling on them to re
fuse to patronize solicitors for a firm
proposing getting out a business direc
tory of Harrisburg and to provide the
merchant with one providing the so
■jicitor is given an order for a quart ol'
iimk at sl, The chamber questions the
value of such a directory and points
out the fact that local dealers handle
the best grades of ink.
