PLANNING COMFORT STATION
Commissioner Lynch Says Sewers Are
Being Arranged for 1t

That the preliminaries are now being
arranged incident TO the construction
of the proposed public comfort station
IN Market square was announced to the
City Commissioners this afternoon when
William Il. Lynch, Commissioner of
Highways. submitted mis- annual report.
At his suggestion. Mr.. Lynch said, the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company low
cred its Second street sewer six feet
below the level contemplated in the
eompany's original plans and this will
connect with 12-ineh sewer sections
which are TO be constructed in Market
street and the square in connection
with the comfort station.
The Commissioner complained that
the business section now is without ade-
quate sewerage facilities and said that
the proposed new sewer sections will be
put down at least fifteen feet below the
street grade. This will protect tsore
owners against the possible flooding of
Easements, he said.
The Lynch report is a resume of the
work done by his department during
1914 and includes the construction of
new bridges, new paving, street grad
ing, sewers and bridge repairs. The
Front and Mulberry street subway is
completed, he says, with the exception
of the superstructure, and the Second
street subway is two--hirds finished.

AMBLER PICKED IN CAUCUS
WITHOUT ANY OPPOSITION

AS soon as Governor.elect Brum.
oaugh sent telegram to the contestino
candidates for Speaker of the House
yesterday afternoon, saying that he
would like them to desist from further
controversy ever the Speakership and
all turn in for Charles A. Amber, of
Montgomery. all signs of trouble in the
Republican camp began to disappear.
The four other contestants not only
got off the track for Amber, but aetu,
ally went into caucus last evening and
seconded his nomination.
1t was the beginning of most har.
monious evening, during which at nu-
merous times was mentioned the aphor-
ism that the Republican party in Penn
sylvsnia has again ''entered into its
own.
The only biz of cloud deuotins that
there may be trouble was in the SEN
ate Republican caucus, when Senator
Jim McNiehol, of Philadelphia, had
motion adopted that no business out
side of organization should be consid
cred by the Senate until after the in
auguraticn, which meant that none of
the appointments made by Governor
Tener during the recess would be con-
sidered until Governor Brumbaugh took
office.
ln the House caucus, after the Am
bier nomination, >resolution made
Thomas H. Garvin, Delaware, chief
clerk; William S. Leib, Sehuylkill, resi-
dent clerk, and Frank Morrison, Phila-
delphia, assistant to the chief clerk. A
slate committee of one from each Con-
gressional district, with Woodward, AL
legheny, at its head, was created, Mr..
Wildman, of Harrisburg, representing
this district. 1t will divide the pie.
The House Democ.atic caucus nomi.
mated John NJ. Flynn, of Elk, for
Speaker, while the Senate Democrats
paid the honor of President pro TEN.
nomination TO Senator Charles W.
Jones, of Lycoming.
The Senate Republican caucus named
Charles F. Kline, of Allegheny, for
President pro tenn; Herman l.. Kep-
hart, Fayette, chief clerk; w. Harry
Baker, Dauphin, secretary; Herman P.
Miller, Dauphin, Senate librarian, and
James r. Bagshaw, Delaware, sergeant
alarms. Then it adopted the McNichol
motion to hold up the Tener appoint
ments until after the Inauguration, and
adjourned.

Profits for County in 1914
The report for 1914 of Oscar G..
Wickersham, Recorder of Deeds and
Clerk of the Orphans Court Of Dau-
phin county, was filed with the auditor
this morning and shows the largess
volume of business ever transacted in
the Recorder S Office in one year. A
total of 5,1+9 instruments were re-
corded, which number exceeds any ooh-
er years business in the history o.
the Office, and consequently there was
a larger net revenue to the county than
in any preceding year.
The county's profits under Recorder
Wiekersham s management of the Office
for 1914 total sS,730.S2, which is
greater by more than one hundred dol
lars than in preceding years. The nes
profits to the county ranged from ST.
S92.51 in 1908 TO S3.5s3.12 in 1918.
The number OF instruments recorded
ranged from 4,6oS in 1908 10 5,1s1 in
1918.
The report shows further the total
receipts of the office during the year
were s15,S41.63. exclusive of So
I09.50, collected for the State as
taxes on instruments. This is a net
gain of sSs7.74 from the previous
year.

possible retention as patrolman and
If he says l made that remark, he is
telling what is not true"
The customary argument followed in
which both the Mayor and Commission
er Taylor charged the ether with play
ing politics. Taylor asserted the Mayor
eonhed what recommendation for police
jobs he made to Democratis and the
chief executive likewise charged that
the Republican Commissioners support
ed only Republicans.
Bowman called the Mayors atten-
tfon to the minutes of meetings of the
League Of the Cities of the Third class
in which it was stated that the Com
mission and not the Mayor "shall APP
point the police officers and while the
Mayor agreed that such an interpreta-

ed He then added that if ~ was to
dictate the appointments in either of
your departments, you would kick until

Commissioners Smoke and Smile
Unpleasant incidents were recalled
regarding former appointments in
which the Republicans and the Mayor
argued about who supported this and
that candidate, but it all blew away in
moment and it was buta question of
time until the Commission was sitting
as Board of Revision of Taxes and
laughing and smoking as before. The
cigars they were smoking eae heon-
tained a beautiful gold band. and
they had pleasant odor.
When the Commissioners were NOT ar.
guing on political issues they did some
real business. The Mayor offered an
ordinance increasing the salaries of the
chief and captain of police and that of
one of the city detectives. the increases
being in accordance with the 1915 ap.
preparation bill provisions, and Commits.
sioner Gorgas put in measure fixing
the salary of his chief clerk, Marion
Verbeke, at $1,000 year, an increase
of 500 a year.
The measure giving Commissioner
Taylor authority to prepare plans and
advertise for bids for the construction
of fire house for the Royal Fire Com.
pany also was introduced. These meas
ures all passed first reading. Ordi-
nanees passed finally included these:
Fixing the salaries of the employees of
the Water department; changing the
city water rates, and creating one new
police job.

WAR MOVIES ARE VIVID
Pictures Taken in Belgium Faithfully
Show Condition of Refugees

The moving pictures taken on Bel
gium battlehelds, now being shown at
tine Majestic theatre, are of interest
principally because of their novelty, and
largely, too, by reason of the scenes
which they present. They give audiences
vivid representations of life in Belgian
cities before and after German inva-
sions, and unlike sketches and written
accounts, they depend on no one g imag
ination, but present scenes just as the
faithful camera saw them.
The most impressive scene perhaps is
that of the flight of Belgian refugees
into Holland. At one point a tired
mother just as she came in range of
the camera, was relieved of the infant
she was carrying in her fight by kind
ly companion, and 50 we may assume
the little one was carried in turn by
the two women until out of reach of
flying shells.
Little incidents OF this sort are seat
tered throughout the four reels, and as
concrete examples of the distress of the
Belgians give better ideas perhaps of
the conditions in the stricken country
than can written accounts.
