WORK Is BEING PUSHED

The two big ONCE building jobs Of

ors, are now practically ready for the
steel structural work. The Wilkins Build
ing. a ten-story structure, being erected
on the south side OF H street, between
Fifteenth street and Madison place, al
ready has the derrick in place for the
handling of the big steel girders and up
rights. The foundation work for the steel
uprights has been finished and the first
Of these will be in place before the week
IS over.
The new office and theater building on
the site of the old Riggs Hotel is not
far behind. Many of the big girders have
been hauled to the scene of their future
occupancy, and much of the foundation
work for the uprights has been COM
pleted.
The discovery some time ago of an un-
expected stream of water in the founda-
ton excavation of the Riggs Building
gave rise to a report that much extra
eXcavating was necessitated. This has
been denied at the local Office Of Wells
Bros, where it is said the stream was
not large enough to cause worry or to
necessitate any char ge in the footing re-
Quirements.

CITIZENS ATTACK
BAN Of COURT ON
ROLLER SKATING
Say Judge De Lacy's Order
Is big Mistake"
MAY ACT

Using such scathing terms as "il-
legal" unjust to children" and "a mis-
take" the Southeast Washington Citi-
zens' Association last night denounced
Judge William H. De Lacy, of the Ju-
venile Court, for his attempt to prevent
roller skating after dark and demanded
that he Immediately revoke his man
date" which was recently issued.
Chief among the critics of Judge De
Lacy was Allan Davis, principal Of
Business High School, and one of the
foremost child educators of the city
1t was he who demanded that the citi-
zens prevent the needless curtailing Of
childish play" and pointed out the fact
that Judge De Lacy had invaded private
rights when he attempted, through the
police, to enforce such an order.
ALLAN DAVIS LEADS ATTACK.
The question was introduced by Allan
Davis. principal of business High School.
who called the attention OF the associ-
alton to recent case before the ju-
veniIe tribunal in which Judge De Lacy
denounced the practice of skating after
dark. and told the young defendants to
herald it abroad among their fellow
playmatns that the police would be in
structed to arrest those who disobeyed
the mandate of the court.
I'VE believe that roller skating in the
District should be regulated" reads the
resolution. but we are opposed to the
suppression Of such a wholesome pas
time after dark"
Such an order AZ Judge De Lacy mas
issued" said Mr.. Davis. is unjust to
the children OF the city. The phase after
dark is what l object to. II gets dark

and recreation after being shut up in
the school roofs all day. To thus sup
press roller skating is an Illegal act l
think the children should be permitted
on skates until or o'clock in the
evening
Il have given this matter careful con-
Sderation. l have found that the allie
cations to the effect that roller skating
after dark has an immoral influence on
children are unfounded. have noticed
that il is not the skaters who smoke
while out at night, but the lOafers who
stand along the crowded skating courses
in various sections of our city. To thus
arbitrarily interfere with an innocent
pastime is not only unjust and unreas-

East Cherry Ridge, died suddenly
Friday last at 12:45 p. m. He had
not been well for one or two days
previously, but on the day of his
death seemed to be nearly recovered
His sickness was considered of a
trifiing nature. He assisted about
the house before dinner, and then
when the meal was ready ate as US
ual. A short time after dinner he
went into his bed room, stumbled,
and fell forward on his knees. His
people went to his assistance and
laid him on his bed, but he was
dead.
Augustus Dapper was born in Ger
many, Aug. 22, 1910. When he was
nine years of age he came with his
parents to the United States. AS a
boy he carried water on the coal
docks at Honesdale, and worked for
the Delaware & Hudson company,
for quite number of years. He
married Miss Elizabeth Sweitzer, of
Cherry Ridge, forty-nine years to a
day on the day previous to his death.
About forty years ago he bought a
farm near that of his father-in-law
in East Cherry Ridge. He moved
from Honesdale upon his farm, where
he has continuously resided.
The funeral was held on Monday
at / o'clock p. M, at the house, Rev.

n. E. HAUsE RETIREs.

After a service of nearly seven
teen years with the State, Nathan e.
Hause, chief clerk in the Depart
ment of the Auditor General, has
rendered his resignation and will re-
tire from that position on or about
the first of December.
Mr.. Hause has entered into a busi-
ness partnership with former Deputy
Attorney General Frederic w. Fleitz,
whose law offices are on the sixth
floor of the Telegraph building, for
the transaction of all kinds of busi-
ness pertaining to corporations in
their relations with the State.
Mr.. Hause came to Harrisburg IN
February, 1895, as messenger in the
State Library under the late DR.. Will
liam H. Egle, and was made cata-
loguer in the library under the ad-
ministration of DR.. George Edward
Reed. When e. B. Hardenbergh was
elected auditor general in 1901 he
selected Mr.. Hause as his chief clerk.
He has served continually in that i'm
portant and difficult position during
the administrations of Auditor Gen
erals Snyder, Young and Sisson, and
has thus seen about ten and one-half
years of active service in the busiest
department on the Chill" He has
been one of the most active men and

That few (office holders) die and
none resign" is disproved in the case
of Mr.. Hause. For more than a
year, in fact since B. X. Young re-
tired from the position of auditor
general, he has seriously been con-
sidering the advisability of making
this change and from several flatter-
ing offers he chose the association
with Mr.. Fleitz, giving up a lucra-
tive position in order to devote his
entire time and attention to corpora
ton business, particularly the settle
ment of State taxes.
Mr.. Hause is known beyond the
confines of the State as an expert in
State tax matters and has represent
ed Pennsylvania at several national
tax conferences. In the development
of the States system he has had a
notable share.
Both gentlemen are well known in
the business and social life of our
city. Mr.. Fleitz served as deputy
attorney general for ten years and
had charge of the trial of the nu-
merous tax cases referred to his de-
partment. He has had a law Office
in Harrisburg ever since his resig-
nation, two years ago, coming here
each week to give it personal atten-
ion.-Harrisburg Telegraph.

DEMOCRATS TO START
FIGHT IN COURT SOON

Harrisburg, Nov. 7.-TheSaction
of Walter e. Ritter, who was elected
chairman of the Democratic State
Committee by one of the factions at
the time of the annual meeting in
July, to secure a judicial test of the
right of George w. Guthrie, of Pitts
burgh, to act as State chairman, will
probably be started before the new
year.
At the headquarters of the Ritter
committee it is stated that papers
are now being prepared to make the
grounds for the test, but the officers
decline to state in what county it
will be brought.
Officers at Mr.. Guthrie's head
quarters say that the Ritter people
have nothing on which to make a
fight and that they had a clear ma
jority of the members of the State
Committee at the meeting which
elected Mr.. Guthrie.

of students of the school have gone
forth from his class room to places
of trust in every part of the world.
The institution will be carried ON un-
der the direction of Mrs. Buck, who
has been in actual charge of the
school since her husbands illness.

Buck taught in the public schools of
Lycoming county.

ing been engaged as an instructor
in Woods Business college, where,
for eight years, Mr.. Buck taught
every branch in business college
work. He was successful as a
teacher. With G.. F. Whittemore as
a partner, Mr.. Buck founded the
Scranton Business college in 1894.
The college was success from the
start. Mr.. Buck and Mr.. Whittemore
gave special attention to the school
and both taught, Mr.. Buck specialize
ing in mathematics, in which he was
uniformity successful. Mr.. Buck
purchased Mr.. Whittemores interest
in the school in 1904, and since that
date he has been sole proprietor. He
had associated with him in the con-
duct of the school men and women
thoroughly familiar with business
work.
He was a man of many friends, the
students of the business college re-
turning often to wish him well in
his efforts to accomplish good for
young men and young women who
enrolled in his school,
