Six suits of clothes valued at about!
SIOO were taken from the merchant!
tailoring establishment of'.l. Maisano,
Fifth street, north of market, sime time

front door unlocked. A report was
ma le at the police station and Detee
tive Ibach is now investigating the
matter.
Aecor iing to Maisano, the store was I
securely locked last night when he left
for home. It is believed that entrance
[to the place was gained through the
transom, which is always keut dropped
some six or eight inches. This, it is
believed, was lowered further to allow
the passage of a per*on. On making his
e»« ape froin the building the thief took
an easier course by unlocking the front .

The suits of clothing had just been !

Lower Branch Also Puts Quietus on the
Measure Proposing to Establish Bu
reaus in Big Cities for the Collec

The House of Representatives rhis
morning took it stand against placing
further regulations on railroads when
the Roney bill, requiring locomotives to
carry headlights powerful enough to

The vote was 40 for and 127 against
the bill.
Mr. Honey said the measure was one
designed for safety on raiiroa Is, as it
gave the engineer the opportunity of
seeing danger ahead on the rails. Mr.
I Milliron. of Armstrong, pointed out the
j House s experience on the full crew
i bill, saying that a repealer would likely
appear next session for the Roney bill
and another tight would ensue.

Senate Leaders Agree With Governor
to Advance Money-Baising Bills
Governor Brumbaugh had a confer

Sproul. t row. Vare jnl McNichol, on
: revenue legislation.
The importance of devising some
■ means to obtain additional revenue

was discussed and it is understood that
the several revenue measures now in
committee will be brought out and I
rushed through.
Revenue raisers which will net»ss.-
000,000 annually were agreed upon, it
was later learned. The bills are tax
ing anthracite coal at the mines; tax
! ing transfers of stocks and bonds two
cents on every $100; providing that
■•■ unties shall pay the costs of primary '
elections, and the measure increasing
the automobile license fee 50 per cent.;
| over the present rate.
Two of these bills were defeated by
the Legislature and then reconsidered
and placed on the calendar.
The demands for money in the com- 1
ing two years will be greater than the

This Introduces Uncle Harry
SEE PAGE 3, EVERY TUESDAY AND FRIDAY
Listen, boys andygirls!
Have you ever puzzled your brains about the war and all that it means!
Have you ever tried to figure out all the mixed-tip things that are printed
every day in the newspapers about the big battles on land and ou sea in the
great struggle in Europef
Have you ever tried to understand for yourself what the war is all about!
Did you ever have it explained to you how a submarine, —the little boats
that flit along beneath the surface of the water and blow up great battleships,—
are run by the crews of real men who go with them down to the depths of
the ocean!
Have you ever wondered and wondered about things like that, that are
occurring every day in the news and making the world's history?
Have you e\er found that newspaper articles about all kinds of things
that are happening in the world every day are written in a way that makes it
hard sometimes even for grown-ups to understand them!
Have you ever wished that somebody who knows all about these things
would explain them to you in a way that w-ould make them clear and more
interesting to you?
Of course you have if you are real boys or girls with a real desire to know
about all the very interesting things that* are going on every day.
Now the Star-Independent is going to let you have your wish.
The Star-Independent has found a man who can tell you all about these
things in a way that will interest you.
We will call him "I'ncle Harry" just to let you know that he is your friend.
I ucle Harry likes boys and girls very much aud he just lo' es to talk to
them.
He is going to talk to them, —twice a week beginning to-day,—through the
columns of the Star-Independent.
His first talk is to-day,—you will find it on page 2, —and he is going to
give a talk very much like his talk of to-day on every Tuesday and Friday of
every week.
Don't fail to read these talks! You will like them.
Professor F. E. Dowues, City Superintendent of the Harrisburg Schools,
knows I'ncle Harry and thinks his talks are fine. Here is what Professor
Dowries says about them:
"It looks to me as though your 'Uncle Harry' talks ought to fill their
purpose."
That purpose is to interest you boys and girls in the really interesting
things that are going on.
Head them, boys and girls, and keep reading them, or you'll miss something
just as good as the movies!
