ELECTRIC ERA IS
JUST AT DAWN
So Says General Electric Ex-
pert to Rotary Club: J. S.
Musser Reads paper

1t was electrical day at the Rotary
to-day, and John b. Christie. OF the
Baker-Nader Company, who presided.
introduced n. ]. Mauger. of Pittsheld,
Mass, manager of the electric range
department of the General Electric
Company, present by invitation of Mr..
Kaltwasser. of the Harrisburg Light
and Power Co.. who was the principal
speaker. Mr.. Mauger said that the
electric range has now been made
cheap enough and good enough for
general usage and he predicted a sale
of 10000 in the United States next
year. He demonstrated the new de-
vices recently developed which make
general use of electricity for heating
purposes possible.
Mr.. Mauger was followed by John S.
Musser, of the Dauphin Electrical Sup
ply company, who read paper on
Just Supposin " that commercial
electricity should be blottcd out over

I'VE take things so as a. matter OF
course in this world, so by habit, that
the miracles which are going or
around us day by day don't mean any
more to us than sunrise. We don't
give them a thought; but for instance:
Suppose by some great catastrophe
of nature all electricity should cease
some night at the mystic hour oi
twelve, that the giant water wheels
and steam engines should continue tc
whirl the huge generators. but not ar

You would wait in vain for stree

the cars could not move an inch. A
hasty walk would take you over t

THAT a section of the Agrarians in

Government Asked if

By Associated Press

New York. Nov. 29.-The govern

whether it considered Captain Boy Ed
German naval attache. in the light OF
a conspirator with Hamburg Ameri-
can Line officials in dispatching relief
ships to German cruisers at sea early
in the war.
The demand was made and repeated
by William Rand. Jr., counsel for DR.
Karl Buenz and his three subordinate
officials, in the course of their trial
for alleged conspiracy in the United
States district court here.
THE government has taken no DO
sition in that matter replied Roger
E. Wood, assistant United States dis
trict attorney, in charge of the prose
cution, when pressed by Mr.. Rand for
the third time for a reply. 1--WE have
brought nobody's name into this case
unless it had to be brought in. All
that the government has wanted to dc
is to submit all the facts in the case
bearing on this indictment"

has closed the Danube to Russian
ships carrying supplies and ammuni-
ton to the Serbs and several Russian
men of war which had fled into the
harbor of Gruia had been disarmed,
and the crews, numbering SEQ, had
been interned.
This action is believed to mean sim
ply that Rumania is insisting on a
strict nuetrality pending the govern
ment's final decision on the war issue.
1t is practically certain that the King
favors the allies.

TO SEE NYMPHS
TEETER ON BASIN
Councilmen Think They Ought

City Council may take trip to

The question of the city's acceptance
of NJ. S. Hershey's gift of the fountain
following the loss of the S25,000 as
sumpsit which Donate brought against
him, will occupy the city commission
ers attention considerably to-mor-
row. The problem of where it is to
he placed is still being agitated, al
though it is very likely that the slopes
OF Reservoir park or the formal park
entrance at Reservoir and Twenty
first streets will be chosen.
Council thinks Giuseppe Donate
himself ought to have something to
say as to the best location and 1t is
probable that the commissioners will
not determine definitely until the
sculptor returns from Philadelphia.
lie is expected tomorrow or Wednes-
day.
Councilmen From Missouri
Some of the City Commissioners
would like to have look at the Statu-
airy. too; they admit il.
From what I've heard" smilingly
remarked one councilman this morn
ing, this group is very classy, and l
think Council ought to go down there
and look them-it-over.'
Aside from the statue. interest will
probably center about the jitney or
dinance and the measure authorizing
the preparation of plans and specifica-
tions for the new Walnut street bridge.
Most of the Councilmen think the jit-
neys should be regulated but they are
opposed to putting them out of busi-
ness entirely. Amendments provid-
ing for thorough regulation of the
'busses without making them quit
business will probably be introduced.
Jitneys and the Bridge
Data is being compiled to-day by the
city engineers office preparatory to
introducing the bridge ordinance. If
the measure can be got in shape in
time ii will be presented tomorrow by
Commissioner Bowman. Before the
whole matter can be submitted to the
public service commission for approval
plans and specifications will have to be
prepared. This is all the Bowman
measure will provide. That an eX-
pert will have TO be employed just as
was necessary in designing the Null
berry street viaduct is conceded.
Whether Commissioner Lynch will
authorize this himself or place the
whole matter under the jurisdiction of
a board of public works is question.
At best the preparation of plans and
specifications will entail a cost to the
city of at least $4,000, according to
city officials today.
Following the passage of the Bow
man ordinance. Council will have to
adopt another measure authorizing the
floating of the bonds. the setting aside
of money for the sinking funds. State
taxes, etc. If this is to be done next
year the 1916 budget will have to in
clude the sums necessary for the
new sinking funds. Council has very
little time to consider these matters
as the preparation of the budget will
be started within a few weeks.

In the illuminating lecture on Stew

Sir Arthur Pinero in 1908 before the
members of the Edinburgh PhiIo-

pence Coloured" are skilfully employed
to explain Stevenson's fiat failure as
