MORE THAN 1,2OO
WEST END FOLKS
OBJECT TO HOTEL
Eleventh Ward Residents Up
in Arms Against NATIONAL
Transfer
HOLD HEARING FRIDAY
Residential Section, Many Chill
dren, Proximity to School
and FirehouSe Are Reasons

More than 1900 residents OF the
Eleventh ward have protested to the
Dauphin County Courts against the
proposed transfer of the National Ho-
tel LIQUOR license to 1902 North Fourth
street
The hearing on the petition TO trans
fer the privilege had been fixed for 10
o'clock Wednesday morning, but at
the request of counsel this morning
President Judge Kunkel permitted a
postponement to 10 O'Clock Friday
morning
Frederick w. Ebel, proprietor of the
Nauohal Hotel, is compelled to move
his business because of the rapid ex-
tension of the Capitol Park zone. The
National stands at Fourth and State
streets
Three petitions have been filed
against the location of the licensed
place in the Eleventh ward one con-
tanning lG4 names, another with ia
names and an unusually large one
with LOLA signatures. a total of l 1892
protesting voices
In addition to objecting to the trans
fer on the grounds that the location
OF the hotel in the Eleventh ward is
unnecessary and that it is detrimental
to the public good, the remonstrants
further protest because the section in
question is purely residential, con-
tanning many homes and many chill
dren, and that the proposed location
ls In too near proximity to the RELY
Hose frehouse and the Cameron school
building"
ON several occasions during the last
year or two Eighth ward hotels have
tried unsuccessfllN to locate their bust
ness in either the Eleventh or Twelfth

Jersey Is Predicted;
Election Tomorrow
BY associated Press

Newark. N. j., Oct. 1S.-The first
great eastern fight on the far-fung
battle line of woman suffrage is to-
day only "a hours away. At six
o'clock tomorrow morning the polls
throughout the State of New Jersey
will be thrown open to determine at n
special election whether votes for
women" banners will be planted vic
toriously thereafter upon the Atlantic
seaboard.
Two weeks from tomorrow the
three other eastern States of New
York, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts
likewise will decide whether they will
join their twelve western sister States
in giving women the ballot.
President Wilson's declaration for
suffrage, reinforced by a thorough and
vigorous campaign waged by organ

suffrage leaders to carry the day for
woman suffrage in his home State of
New Jersey. Their victory is sure and
by comfortable margin, they state.

FOR COUNTY RECORDER,
c. ALBERT FRITCHEY.

Only Fritchey's name is mentioned.
Every otner one of the Democratic
candidates is ignored.
The banner appeared for the first
time to-day and there was immediate
ly u howl of protect from the candi-
dates who are left out in the cold.
Preparations were at once started to
compel the club either to take down
that banner or replace 1t with one
bearing the names of all the Democra-
tic candidates.
At the clubhouse nobody would ac-
cept responsibility for the banner. II
had been put up under orders" 1t was
said
Irate nominees for the other offices
have long entertained suspicion that
they were being sold out by the fu-
sion bosses in favor OF Danner and
Ehy, the especial faVorites of Vice
county Chairman Rubendall, but they
thought that Fritchey was also among
those who were to be given the go
by at the hands of the Democratic
fusion gang.
They cannot bring themselves to be-
lieve even yet that the Democratic
z kosses are really for Fritchey Some
- them look upon the banner as mere
ly another clever Frltchey trick, but
all of them admit that they are very
much at sea and the bosses and the
indiscrimlnatelY,
why one might think that Albert
Fritchey Is the only Democrat on the
ticket to Judge by that banner" said
an angry candidate this morning, "A
lot OF good IT does to be II loyal DEM

couple OF years ago admitted he was
Il Republican can step in and get the
support of the bosses, who are Will
ling to let the other real Democrats
go down to defeat II they only car

pay to be a turncoat in this county"
Republicans also are wondering just
how FritcheY managed to pull the
banner over on his fellow Democrats
1t Is shown in Republican circles thai
the Mccormick faction OF the Demo.
Gratis is only lukeWarm for Frltchey

he could boost himself back into the

On the other hand 1t Is known thai
the management of the Central clui

LEARNS TO FORGE
NAME OF DR.. BY
HOSPITAL SLIPS
Orderly Charged With Getting
Money Under Signature of
DR.. Gross
CHECK CASHED TWICE
Cleverly Executed, Only One
Letter Being Defective,
Say Police

Charged with forging the name OF
DR., H. f. Gross, 1912 North Sixth
street, on a check for $40, in August,
Lawrence Lillis, was arrested this
morning and held under $500 bail for
a hearing by Alderman A. NJ. Lands
of the Sixth Ward.
Lillis, it is said, is a good imitator
of handwriting, particularly sigma
lures. He was employed us an ORDERLY
in the Polytechnic Hospital until about
two months ago when it is alleged;
the check was forged.
Before that time he had been work
ing there for a year, and almost daily
handled the records, and admission
cards, signed by the physicians on the
hospital staff Here, the police pe-
lieve, he practiced copying DIR. Gross
signature until he mastered it, Then
he forged the check, it is alleged.
The check is dated August %, 1915
and was cashed to d. Rhoads, N
grocer at Second and Calder streets,
according to the authorities Mr..
Rhoads later presenting it at "a local
bank wheer it again passed without
question, it is said.
The alleged fraud was not discovered
until DR.. Gross looked over his ac-
count. A warrant was sworn out, but
Lillis could not at first be located. on
Saturday night, the authorities heard
that Lillis was in the city and this
morning he was arrested by Constable
Bertron A. Wells
When Liiiis was brought before
Alderman Lands he confessed that he
had committed the crime and was
| committed to Jail in default of $500
| bail for a hearing, which was held this
afternoon. Lillis was held for court
or the charge. When asked why he
had forged the check, Lillis said that
he was having hard luck and needed

Pennsylvania Steel Co.
Transfer Will Likely Be
Made Next Wednesday
Stccinl To The Tclccrnhh

Philadelphia, Oct 1S.-Actual trans
fer of the Pennsylvania Steel Com
pahy TO Charles NJ. Schwab will be
made next Wednesday, according to
reliable information received yester-
day. On this day directors of the
Reading Company and the Reading
Iron Company will meet and formally
approve the action of e. 4. Stotesbury
in arranging the terms of sale. Then,
it is said, they will affiX the rubber
stamp" tothe contract whereby the
Pennsylvania Steel stock held by the
Reading Iron Company will pas to the
Bethlehem interests for $5,0S5, 900.
With the acquisition fthe Pennsyl-
Vania Steel the Bethlehem Steel Cor
poration now becomes the greatest in
dependent steel concern in the coun-
try, second in output only to the Unit
ed States Steel Corporation. Its pro-
duction will aggregate more than e.
000,0 900 tons of pig iron annually and
its ore properties, already large, will
be tremendously increased through
the addition of the Cuban ore lands
which come with the Pennsylvania.
Tese ohres are extremely valuable in
the manufacture of certain grades of
steelf on account of the high per-
centage of nickel contents.
The Pennsylvania Steel Company 1t
is understood, will be operated inde-
pendently as in the past. On this
basis there probably will be no di-
rect merger of the two properties,
which will relieve the Bethlehem
from arranging the intricate matters
of converting or guaranteeing the var
ious bond obligations o fthe company
The vigorous Schwab management
will be int. 'oduced in the operation of
the acquired property, it is said, and
the several plants will be used in
supplementary capacity to the Beth
lehem organization.

Made by New Machines
at Penna. Steel Plant

tured at Steelton was made at the new
forge shop of the Pennsylvania Steel
Company to-day. Only the rough cas-

yesterday. One of the big motors
which will be used to furnish power
in this shop was tested out yesterday.
At the pesent time, it is believed. no
