they should take on the question of a
warship Of an unrecognized power be-
Ing in this port. None was received
up to the time the Zaragosa passed
the barracks at s o'clock this morn
ing.
immigration authorities had not ex-
pected to inspect the Zaragosa on the
ground that she was a foreign war
ship of friendly power, but 1t was
reported from quarantine that three
aliens were aboard. Commissioner
Redfern then gave instructions for an
inspector to meet the Zaragosa when
she docked and to ascertain if any
attempt was being made to bring
aliens into this country unlawfully.
1t had been reported here that
Frenchman, an Italian and a Mexican
of considerable prominence were
aboard the ship.

St. Valentines Chief
Aid and Pretty Girl Are
Betrayed by Harrisburger

When City Clerk Charles A. Miller
opened one of his pile of letters yes
terday he thought for a moment that
he and St Valentine we're mixed up
tri1e as to dates. For, out OF the
envelope addressed simply to "City
Clerk, Harrisburg" dropped post
card picture of a pretty girl.
City office gossip has it that Mr..
Miller blushed a trihe and said
"Whew!" The clerical staff said "Ah
hah!' and "Oh, dear me-"
However it wasn't valentine after
all, although the story back of the
missive, in way, is a tale of ST. val
entine's chief-one of the tough little
stories of how the tiny winged archer
was probably betrayed.
With the picture was a pathetic
note from the original Mrs. Ada M.
Stein, of Lynn, Mass. Her maiden
name, she said, was Ada Greiner.
Quite evidently letter writing isn't
Mrs. STEMS long suit. She wrote to
the city clerk on the advice of the
priest in her parish with the hope of
learning something of the whereabouts
of one Lewis Stein,-whether he is
married, how many children he has
and so on. She believes she had been
married to Stein, she says, but he has
deserted her She has since learned
that he is a Hebrew and she wanted
Mr.. Miller to tell her where Stein had
been baptized, any other facts he
knew of STEMS religious faith and
whether he really has wife In Har-
risburg. She is pathetically anxious
to get in touch with STEMS wife-if
he is married. Mrs. Stein CD gives
her address as 50 North Commons.

picture to prove that she lives In

KNOW OF 62 OPEN HOUSES

Efforts to close every place of busi-
ness in the city on Sunday will be
made at once by the executive COM
mittee of the Civic Council of Harris
burg Churches. At the meeting of the
council last night sixty -four business
places were reported as violating the
blue laws" by Sunday selling.
The committee will not bring pros
ecutions at once, but every class or
business will be requested to arrive at
a common agreement on closing SO
that there will be no Inconvenience or
loss to any mans business.
In the report submitted last night
by Elmer S. Schilling, chairman OF
the Sunday closing committee, men
tion was made of drug stores, candy
stores, cigar stores and even grocery
stores that violate the law. Effort will
be made to close all drug stores eX-
cept for few hours when drugs alone
are to be sold. The other places are
to be closed down tight. If the bust
ness men cannot agree among them
selves to close, the county authori-
ties will be notified of the violations
Know of g. Houses
A list of siXty-two houses of ill
repute was read to the ministers by
Wilmer Crow. These houses are
known to be used for immoral pur-
poses. The ministers will try to close
these places most of which the COM
mittee reported were open despite the
disclosure of less than half of them by
the police department.
A committee will call upon the own
ers of the houses, notify them of the
character of the tenants, and put the
question to them, do you want to be
linked with such a business? 2" Pub
licity and prosecutions will follow. So
that any inmate of tf Je houses that
wants to lead better life may have
the opportunity, Captain Nelson of
the Salvation Amry, volunteered his
services in caring for any girls who
want to get away from the life.

Resolutions approving newspapers
that refuse to print liquor advertise
ments or fake medicine ads and call
ing such papers a credit to any COM
munity and of inestimable benefit were
adopted by the council. These resolu-
tions will be sent to every newspaper
in Pennsylvania.
The resolutions adopted are as fol-
lows:
"That as Christian minister's,
composing the general minister
ium of Harrisburg and vicinity,
we should lend the weight of i'm
6uence to the circulation of such
newspapers and magazines as
all things being equal-exclude
from the columns advertisements
or endorsements of intoxicants or
other demoraIizing matter.
Resolved: That we suggest to
all our pastors that the foregoing
resolution or a statement in har-
mony with it, be read in all our
pulpits at an early date, that the
families of our members may be
protected from the pernicious in
fuence of hurtful literature.
Resolved, That copies of these
resolutions be sent to the Harris
