Committee to Take Pill
grimage to Dauphin
Mountains To-mor-
row Afternoon
ROBERT HOY TO
HEAD EXPEDITION
Tree VIII Come From Bayard Tract
in Clark's Valley Where Last
Years Tree Came From-Mayor
Royal to Be One of Party

The stately pine, or towering
spruce, that will be the central attrac
tion in Harrisburg's municipal Christ
mas celebration will be picked from its
fellows atop the Dauphin mountains on
the Bayard tract near Clark s Valley
tomorrow afternoon, if the plans now
made by the tree committee are ear
ried out.
Chairman Robert w. Hoy has planned
that his committee, which includes
Mayor Royal, Charles NJ. Kaltwasser
and Henderson Gilbert, and as many
other members of the general commit
tee as possible, take the pilgrimage to
the mountains to inspect the trees and
pick out the one best suited for the
Harrisburg celebration.
Last years tree was picked from
the Bayard tract, not very deep into
the mountains. 1t stood alone on the
banks of a small mountain stream, but
this year it will be more difficult task
as the party must needs go deeply into
the heart of the timberland for the
beauty A short sally was made last
year but nothing attracted the eyes of
the committee as the one selected from
its lonely spot along the creek. There
fore this visit will be mountain climb.
ing expedition of no mean effort.
The tree will be cut down on the
spot and made ready for the transpor-
tation to Harrisburg on one of Bayard s
big hay wagons. Six horses will convey
it to Front and Market streets, where
employees of the Harrisburg Light and
Power Company will erect it in place
Other arrangements for the celebra-
tion are progressing finely and plans
are being formed to place more lights
than last year on the municipal tree.
The bigger the tree the more lights
will be necessary and the committee
is bound to pick the biggest tree on
the ountainS-provided, of course, it
is a Christmas tree and its transporta-
tion to this city will not entail an en-
gineering problem.

Money to Be Refunded
MYSTERY In BIG LOAN THEFT
Police Looking f5r Information on
Which to Base Additional Arrests
By Associated Pre-!

Boston, Dec. 4.-The police to-day
we're busily engaged in an effort to OBJ
tain information upon which to base
possible additional arrests in connection
with the theft of large sums of money
from the Collateral Loan Company,
known as the largest loan brokerage
concern in the country.
The investigation of the company s
affairs is said to have disclosed losses
through tbefts not connected with the
methods alleged to have been used by
William Cobb, who has just resigned as
president of the company and who was
arr ested last night, charged with the
embezzlement of sS6, 900.
The police believe that jewelry in
large quantities pledged with the com
pany has been taken from its vaults
and repledged, with a resultant loss to
the concern of about $2S,000. Cobb
spent last night in Jail in default of
$4,000 bonds.
The uneovering of an additional
shortage of 100000, bringing the total
alleged discrepancy up to $134, 900.
was announced to-day by J. p. Ken
nedy, the city,s representative ON the
company's directorate.

Permission to use the Day building
at North and Fifth streets for school
purposes after the close of the present
school year, the building having been
purchased by the State of Pennsylvania
in the plan of park extension, the Har-
risburg School Board will be called on

pils for the opening of the school year
which begins next September
City Superintendent Downes has
recommended to the Finance committee
of the board that the pupils of that
building, which are all colored, be
moved to the Wickersham building at
Cowden and Briggs streets, and that
the white pupils in the latter building
be transferred to the Willard building
at State and Myrtle streets and to the
Eager building at Walnut and River
streets. The Finance committee s
recommendation will go to the board
at its meeting tonight. There will be
no crowding as a result of this change.
according to Superintendent Downes.
The board tonight will open bids on

genius; when you can't divorce your
self from the idea that you are doing

spend at your work seems intermina

woefully Short whensall the sky seems
to possess leaden hue; when every
thing irritates you like salt on an open

CRATES on your nerves; when the food
you eat disagrees with you
Straighten up and take an inventory
of yourself. Maybe it is with you that
the fault lies. Perhaps the rest of the
world is but mirror. Don t imagine
you are carrying the world on your

PASSING OF FAMOUS HOTEL
Landmark Closes Its Doors as Proprie-
tors Go to Wall
u AsSOciufsJ Dress

New York, Dec. f.-Smith & Me-
Nell's restaurant and hotel, landmark
for sixty years on Washington and
Greenwich streets and known by thou
sands of travellers when the only en-
trance to New York was by ferry, made
an assignment yesterday and may be
compelled to close its doors forever.
The restaurant was started by Hen.
rv Smith and Thomas R. Mcneil in
1S49 in a basement room, emerging g
above the surface of the street several
years later in part of the present
quarters. Smith died in 1891, but Me
Nell continued daily at the place until
three years ago. when he retired, at
the age of SO, to his ranch at Ventura,
California. He was more than once a
millionaire, and to the end he continued
the same homely methods of business
that had marked the partnership. For
years under that organization the serv-
ants had been paid nightly and when
the share of the house had been set
aside the partners themselves divided
what remained.
