boys Association ever since it was
first suggested to them by their friend
and patron, the Rev. e. p. Robson,
a charter member of the Association.
At an enthusiastic meeting alst even
ing, which over one hundred mem
bers attended. the campaign for funds
was started with a cash contribution of
$50. The campaign will be earnestly
wa6ed by the newsboys, all of whom
have signifled their intention of going
after that new home in the best way
they know how.
Many have expressed a willingness
to help the boys get their home and
several of the newspapers in this city
and Philadelphia will give their sup
port in putting the project through.
There will in all probability be a gym
nasium, reading and lounglng rooms,
and dormitories where homeless
"newsies" can be given a good warm
bed and shelter. President Wagner
Hoffman will appoint committee. in
a few days, to look after building
plans.
New Years Eve the newsboys Will
be the guests of this newspaper at the
ushering in of the New Year at the
Majestic theater.

Awaiting Decision on
Civic Clubhouse Gift

In it's prettily bound year book for
1876. just issued. the Civic Club of
Harrisburg devotes considerable space
to the seventeenth annual report. The
report makes special reference to the
bequest to the club by Mrs. Virginia
Hammond Fleming of her residence,
612 North Front street, for use as a
clubhouse.
The gift made it necessary really to
incorporate the club and the necessary
charter was obtained from the Dau-
phin county courts. The fact, how
ever, that the club was not incor-
porated at the time it received the gift
involved a legal squabble, as the ad-
ministrator of Mrs. Fleming's estate
raised the question. The matter has
been threshed out in the Dauphin
county courts and both the admins
traitor and the club are patiently await
ing a decision from President Judge
Kunkel on the subject.

Captain of 'O5 Squad
SheVlin played football at Yale four
years, being captain during his last
year in 1906 when Yale had one of
the greatest teams in history. Since
the days when he wore a "Y" at Yale
Shevlin had always stood ready to
come TO the aid of his alma mater as
football adviser and coach. Last Fall
he struggled hard to whip the aggre-
cation into shape to meet Harvard and
the subsequent overwhelming defeat
preyed on his mind.
During the training he lost twelve
pounds. The rest did him good, but
because of business matters at home
he cut short his vacation and came
home still in somewhat weakened con-
dition.
All-Aromd Athlete
Mr.. SheVlin was 80 years old. He
is survived by a widow and two chill
dren. He was interested in a number
of st. Paul lumber concerns and was
a member of several Minneapolis and
st. Paul clubs.
Shevlin was an all-round star in
athletics, being identified with every
branch of sport. His greatest fame
came from prowess on the gridiron.
For four years he was picked for all
American end. During his career
Yale defeated Harvard four times and
Princeton three times.
on the Yale track team Shevlin also
shone as a star carrying "Y" in each.
He played on the baseball team in his
freshman year.
The will of Shevlin's father, who
died in 1912, gave the bulk of his es-
tate valued then at $1,500,OOO to Mr..
Shevlin and two sisters. Sometime
before his death the father desired to
abandon business and shift the details
to his son. He organized the Shevlin
Company as a holding company for the
Shevlin interests. In this the son and
two sisters, Mrs. David d. Tenney and
Mrs. George c. Beckwith became prin-
cipal stockholders.
In October, 1911, Mr.. Shevlin was
insured for 100000 in favor of the
Shevlin company. Recently he is said
to be have taken out a policy for ST.
100000, this and other policies, with
his business interests as beneficiary
are declared to bring his total insur-
ance to nearly two millions

with moral and social values because
1t won't be allowed to deal with any

comic to fail to appreciate. with the
examples of Belgium before our eyes,
that the real question which modern
peace-loving nations have to face is
not how the militaristic or war-like
spirit within their own borders will
affect these values but how failure
on their part to resist the militarism
of an unscrunulous neighbor will af-
feet them"

Mr. Roosevelt referred to medieval

fists.

politicians, by no means as well mean

pander to the desire common to most
men to live softly and easily and
avoid risks and effort. Timid and

There are of course persons who
believe force is immoral-that it is
immoral to resist wrongdoing by
force, he added, "T have never taken

Tess this kind of morality: and / do

If they are right in the theory then 1t

He had come In quietly, uuexpect-

Mayor Oscar B. Marx covered two
meetings, Wednesday night, In his
campaign In support of the street
car purchase plan. Both were In the
Polish district, out Chene-s;. An
impartial: observer would ray that
one meeting was fair success. and
the other bowling failure.
In Dem Polski, Chene-st. and For
est-ave., the mayor addressed about
700 men and few women. He was
well received and was stopped by
hand-clapping twice during his
speech. In the next stopping place.
Aurora hall, Chene-st. and Ferry.
ave., the mayor found only scatter
ing of voters. Many OF the seats
were empty. There were not more
than 60 people In the hall. There
might have been more just in front
OF It, where the bar is located.
Altogether. 1t was discouraging
meeting. Two members of the audi
ence were most deplorably drunk.
They shrieked in fendish glee when
The mayor said something he intend
ed to be serious. At other times
they INDUCED In a hand-clapping
carnival. both of them coming out
with high honors. The mayor final
ly became angered and shouted:
"Oh, know some us think they
