MISSJANE ADDAMSPREDICTS
U. S. WILL NOT ENTER WAR
j Berlin. Via London, May 21.—Miss j
Jaue Addams has arrived in this city to i
present to the Foreijn Office resolutions j
| adopted at the women's peace confer '
jenee held recently at The Hague. She I
j expects to have a conference with For-!
! eign Minister Gagow before Sunday and j
■ possibly to see Chancellor Von Beth !
. mann-Hollweg as well. She lunehed !
! yesterday with United States Ambassa
dor Gerard, who, it 's understood, will
assist her in an unofficial capacity.
Miss Addams will go next to Vienna
and then to Berne and Paris upon the
;sam« mission. She expressed the belief
; tq-day that there need be no fear of
i serious eventualities between the Unit- !■
! ed States and Germany,
i "President Wilson and Secretary
| Bryan both are firmly opposed to war, f 'l
| she said. "It seems as though t'ho j
whole world has gone crazy. There
must be some little spot left where rea- 1
| son will rule."
I While under normal conditions unoffi- I
| i ial visits of women to foreigu govern-!
, ments in the interests of "peace not;
, only are fruitless, but are considered:
| foolish, the present plan, Miss Addams'l
! declared, is meeting with a reasonable
measure of success.
fIIWERICANPHYSICIfINS ARE
EACER TO SERVE AUSTRIA
Washington, May 21.—Unverified!'
press reports from Vienna that Austria- 1

geons and would pay six or seven dol
i lars a day have brought a flood of let
ters to the Austro-Hnngarian embassy 1
from physicians all over the United 1
| States, offering their services.
Most of the letters carefully in
t quired as to the honorarium, but others
j merely indicate a willingness to depart
j at once if the offer of transportation
I and expenses is included.
As the embassy officials have had
no official news on the subject, they are
j telling the applicants to apply to Vi
enna.
Jap Emperor Hopes for Harmony
Tokio, 'May 21.—Emperor Yoshihito,
who formally opened the Diet yester
day, in thi presence of princes and am
bassadors, expressed the hope that de
liberations would be conducted in a
spirit of harmony that would assist in
bringing about the passage of needed
laws. There are indications that Bome
opposition will develop to the govern
ment's Chinese policy.

j started Wednesday, when, instead of
j holding the twice weekly exercises for
I both sessions, the entire student bodv
j turned out in the auditorium between
| 12.30 and 12.45 o'clock. The only
: objection to the new plan was that a
few of the students claimed that it
made them late for dinner.
Senior class day will be held this
year for the first time since 1910 in the
i school auditorium some time between
! June 11 and commencement day. In
!the meantime committees will be ap
pointed to make arrangements for the

mon and the Rev. Henry W. A. Hanson,

RAISE DOUBTS OF SUICIDE
Autopsy of Young Beauty May Support
Another Theory
Allentown, May 21.—The funeral
of pretty Margaret Matthewson, 2£
years old, found dead, supposedly a
suicide, last Sunday, was Halted by aa
order from the Coroner and District
Attorney for an autoppy.
She was found dead at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. William Berry man, in
South Allentown, and a bottle of
poison was discovered in the orchard.
After the body had been removed to
the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Thomas Mitthewaon, North Catasau
qtia, Dr. John Schneller, the family
physician,, declared he could not dis
cover any trace of poison and made
such hints at foul play that her par
ents reported to the authorities.
Coroner Ooheen has empaneled a
jury which will hear evidence in the
Court House this evening. It is said
if the testimony should support the
suspicions of the authorities there will
be sensational developments.

One of the most largely attended re
ceptions ever given by the students of

ple in attendance. Every shop and
laboratory was in full swing and as the
students applied themselves to their
tasks large processions of spectators
stood hy and watched thorn. A number
of students who were not at work over
the bench and forge made themselves
useful as guides.
As the curious body of spectators en
tered the building the first attraction to
greet them was a concert, given in the
main auditorium hy the Tech orchestra
under the direction of G. W. Updegrove
and the leadership of David Heffei
tinger. Among the interested observ
ers present was Prof. Howard G. Dib
ble, the new principal of Central High

BIRD S OWN BURGLAR ALARM
Flicker, Pecking Insects, Starts Music
It Likes ■
York, Pa., May 21.—A mischievous
flicker has taken a fancy to sounding
the burglar alarm over the First Na
| tional bank in Wrightsville. The first
| few times the bird indulged its odd
j whim the false alarm attracted a stir
I in the neighborhood.
It is suggested that an insect on
' the surface of the bright gong mav
i have been pecked up by the strong
\ beaked bird, and thus its knowledge of
j the musical qualities of the bell was
j acquired.
The flicker being of the woodpecker
family, its rapid tattoo exactly imitates
the manner in which the gong would
<be sounded by the electrie tapper.

GOOD WAY TO DO BUSINESS
H. C. Kennedy Sells Reliable Remedy

When one can buy gold dollars for
fifty cents, it is a good time to pur
chase.
Tn ordering a 50c bottle of Dr. How
ard's celebrated remedy for constipa
tion and dyspepsia at 25 cents, H. C.
Kennedy is giving one of the greatest
trade chances ever offered to the people
of Harrisburg.
Even though offered at half-price for
introductory purposes the remedy is sold
under a guarantee to cure or the money
will be refunded.
If food does not digest well, if there
is gas or pain in the stomach, if the
tongue is coated and the breath bad, if
there is constipation and straining, Dr.
Howard's remedy should help you. If
it does not, you have Druggist H. C.
Kennedy's personal guarantee to return
your money.
Dr. Howard's remedy gives quick re
lief in constipation, dyspepsia and all
liver troubles.
These are strong statements, but
H. C. Kennedy is giving his customers
a chance to prove their truth at just,
half the regular price—sixty doses for
25 cents. If they are not found true,
all you have to do is to ask for your
money.—Adv.
