HEADQUARTERS GOING away
Democratic State Committee After De-
cember 10, Will Be Housed Tn
Broad Street, Philadelphia

After being located in Harrisburg
for almost twenty years, the head
quarters of the Democratic State COM
mittee will be moved to Philadelphia
on December 10, when the quarters
here in the Spooner building, Market
square, will be closed.
The new headquarters will be at
147 South Broad street, Philadelphia,
and Robert T. keenan,, of Pittsburgh,
who was active in gathering finances
for the committee during the last cam
paign, will be in charge as resident
secretary. Roland S. Morris, Demo
cratic State chairman, who was in Har-
risburg yesterday arranging his eX-
pense account, made the announcement
of the removal.
Friends of Congressman A. Mitchell
Palmer, defeated Democratic eandi-
date for United States Senator, de-
clared in Philadelphia yesterday that
he probably will not be appointed to
any place under the Wilson admins
tration. 1t was alleged by them that
at present there is no job at the Presi-
dents disposal large enough for the
recent Democratic candidate for Sem
ator to accept, and that all talk about
one or another of the members of the
Cabinet resigning to make way for
him was foolish. He will continue as
Democratic national committeeman, it
was said.

CHICKEN Thieves IN town
and VICINITY ARE active
Two Pens Forced Open in Rear of
Penn Street, Highspire, Several
Nights Ago-one Man Captured in
Steelton Coop Last Night

Chicken stealing in the borough and
nearby towns, which has been rather
quiet ever since the wholesale arrest
of foreigners on South Third street,
last spring, is again being resumed ON
a small scale. Two eoops in the rear
of Penn street, Highspire, were enter
ed several nights ago. One was that of
john Matthias, who had taken the pre-
caution of removing his poultry to an
other place earlier in the evening. The
would-be robbers forced the lock on
both the chicken coop and the coal
house, but finding no poultry, they fill
ed their bags with coal and decamped,
leaving no trace.
Adjoining Matthias place Lewis
Sweigle owns flock of fine hens. His
coop was entered the same night as
Matthias but only two chickens were
taken, the robbers evidently being
frightened before being able to secure
more.
The nearest thing to a chicken rob-
berry recently in Steelton, occurred
last night when Tomo Ocsaneski was
captured in the pen of Marian Mi
hdIiO' Nho Ieolues at oo' IIeuellSh
street. The latter heard a commotion
in his coop and making an investiga-
tion with shotgun and a lantern car
ried by his son, the two located Tomo
erouched in one corner of the coop.
While the father covered the man with
his gun, the son secured the services
of Patrolman Wynn and Detective
Durnbaugh, who placed the intruder
under arrest.

URGES Lower License
fees FOR FOOD sellers
City Health Department Recommends
Reductions Ranging From 81 to $5
Asks for $51, ,5ss, of Which $780,
94S Is for Garbage Collection

Radical changes and reduction in the
rates of charges for milk, meat and
rood licenses are recommended in the
City Health Department Is annual esti-
mate, which was prepared at the
Boards meeting last evening. The
suggestions will be laid before the City
Commissioners within, a day or two,
or when they meet in extraordinary ses-
sion to prepare the annual budget. The
reductions range anywhere from 81 to
SO and will affect practically every
merchant and vender in the city.
1t was recommended that the license
fees for retail meat, milk, ice cream
and bake shops be reduced from IS to
81. A reduction of 50 in the license
fees collected from wholesale ice cream
dealers was also urged. This would
bring the fee down from $40 to $S. 1t
was also proposed to reduce the whole
sale meat and milk license fees from
$25 to $40.
The City Commission again will be
asked to provide Harrisburg with a
sanitary hospital where contagious dis
eases may be cared for. The bureau
says such hospital could accomplish a
vast amount of good by taking proper
care of smallpox, diphtheria and other
contagious diseases.
The budget estimate contains provi-
sion for a nurse at 5000 a year to fol-
low up contagious diseases and help
along other sanitary lines. A third
sanitary officer at salary of 5000 a
year is also wanted. There is too much
work for the two men now employed
by the department, it was said.
The budget asks for s51,53S, or
about the same amount of money the
bureau got last year. OF this sum,
however, $33,94S is to be used ex-
clusively for the collection of garbage
and ashes. The budget as outlined last
night follows:
Salary of health officer, $4,000; sal
ary of assistant health officer, $500;
salaries of three sanitary officers,
$2,700; salary of clerk and stenog
rapher, $500; salary for watchman at
municipal hospital, $3.50; Office rent,
$3.50; telephone bills, $3.50; disinfeet
ants, $1,000; salary contagious disease
nurse, 5000; contingent fund, $4,000;
garbage. S33,94S; three school inspect
ors. $3.50.
For the food inspection department
the budget for salary for two insnect-
ors, S1,S00; contingent fund, $500;
license tags. 500. For the plumbing
inspection department the recommenda-
tion is fer salary for one inspector,
$500 two examiners, S120; contin-
gent fund, $500. -

ARMY LIFE ENDLESS FROLIC
Lawyer For Divorced Wife of Iieiften-
ant Naylor Says It Caused
Her Downfall

Philadelphia, Dec. 3.-Lfe at Unit
ed States army posts was held up as a
continual round of loose conduct be-
fore the Superior Court here yesterday
afternoon when ngresSlman- elect
John R. X Scott, as counsel for the
divorced wife of Lieutenant Charles j..
Naylor, U s. A., of this city, appeal
ed for reversal of the findings of the
lower court, which awarded the divorce
to Lieutenant Naylor against the rec
ommendation of the master.
Mr.. Scott denounced Lieutenant
Naylor's charge of unfaithfulness, de-
elaring it was constructed "from the
most despicable work of hired spies in
providing paid for evidence
AS to the relations that preceded the
alleged episode of Mrs. Naylor and AL
len o Bryan, an army contractor, in a
New York hotel, Mr.. Scott said
"Who is to blame for those rela-
tions but this libellant himself. From
out of the West he took this unsophis-
ticated country girl, married her and
took her to various army posts, where
he was assigned. He introduced her to
a social life at these posts which was
a revelation to this innocent girl. No
conventions or the niceties of domestic
propriety prevailed in this army life.
The testimony heard before the
master showed it was common, pard-
enable practice for the officers to drink
to excess. Drunkenness seemed a part
of the posts social life. Army officers
kissed and were even more intimate
with each others wives. Pseudo love
notes were exchanged between the men
and women. There was no restraint to
this loose conduct. Drinking jousts,
lovemaking and indiscriminate kissing
passed unnoticed and unquestioned.
"It was in this vortex of such life
as this that this young woman was
hurled. She believed it was right that
She should participate, and followed
the examples set for her O'Bryan, a
young Southerner employed by an army
contractor, was also brought into as
ISOLATION with these conditions, and
following the example of the officers
joined in the wild debauehes He be-
came acquainted with Mrs Naylor, as
much neophyte as himself. He got
drunk with Naylor and the lieutenant
got drunk with him.
"True, he very foohshly wrote notes
to Mrs. Naylor which contained en-
dealing terms, but l say that, what
ever the conduct was between these
two, it was not indicative Of anything
more than conditions thrust upon Mrs.
Naylor. 1t pointed no way to what it
is charged happened later in New York
and cannot be considered seriously in
connection with the lieutenant s base
less accusations against his wife
Against this argument Z. P. Bliss
representa-. Lieutenant Naylor, de-
clared that Mrs. Naylor was not the
unsc2histicated girl pictured and that
during the years of their life at the
army posts, Mrs. Naylor became So
rhieticeted and both she and her hus-
band had been ostracized and went
from post to post because of their
loose conduct.
He maintained that the charge was
well established by the circumstances
of the visit of o O'Bryan and Mrs. Nay
lor to the New York hotel, the char
acter of which was well known.
