O'NEILL DID NOT GET PAY
ROurke Declares Tip Was Not Given
Salary in Full for 1915 as Hol-

PA STARTS DEALS FOR NEW MEN

Jack Holland In ST. Joseph has said
that the Western league paid Tip oNenl
his salary In full until January I. 1917,
upon Tips agreement to resign as presi-
dent OF the league and not make any
trouble. And now comes Pa Rourke of
Omaha and says Holland has It all
wrong Rourke declares Tip never had
a chance to get all his salary and didn't
get II. There Is suspicion current in
Omaha that Mr.. Holland is trying to
spool the boys OF Joetown.
According to Rourke, o'Neill found he
didn't have a leg to stand on especially
when the national association seated
Rourke as the representative OF the
league. and Tip slid out Of the affair as
easily as possible. The compromise with
Tip was all to the benefit OF the league,
says Rourke.
Rourke appears to be pleased with the
selection OF Frank G. Zehrung as pfesi-
dent OF the league II only met Zehring

The marriage license bill doubling the

literally "laughed to death" in the
House of Representatives this morning.
The measure fell by vote of 45 for

backed it because the clerical work of
preparing license papers had been dou-

Episcopalians Are Considering Plan to

A plan to invite President Wilson

servance ON May 10, II and IL of
the tenth anniversary of the forming of
the Harrisburg diocese of the Protest
ant Episcopal Church is being dis.

of the committee will soon be held at
the home of Bishop Darlington, 321
North Front street, when a definite de-
cision on the matter of guests will like

THE committee has not met formally
since last May, when the observance
of the anniversary was first suggested.
Recently members have been speaking
of plans and it is understood that
efforts will be made to have President
Wilson and Governor Whitman attend.
The Governor is personal friend of
Bishop Darlington.
The diocese of Harrisburg was
formed ten years ago, when the Rt.
Rev. James Henry Darlington was
elected as the first Bishop. The OBJ

Look who s here This is Billy. He
weighed 50 pounds when he was eight
months old, but he was getting too big
for his age, and his parents "banted "
him, and now, at ten months he weighs
only 75 pounds-accent on the
"only."
This picture shows him at three
months old, bright, happy, contented,
cheerful little-no, not little-but
chubby chap, willing to play with you
and sit up and take notice. That is,
he will sit up if you help him and will
hold him while he is sitting up. He is
the biggest baby ever seen in Harris
burg under one year old.
Billy's name is William Earl Ne
Carthy, and he is the second child of
Mr.. and Mrs. w. E. Mccarthy, of
115 Locust street. Billy was born in
Rochester, N. Y, and at his birth
weighed nine pounds, twelve ounces. He
began to take on weight almost imme.
diately, and every time his mother lift
ed hlm he had taken on a couple of
more pounds, so that she doesn't lift
him very much now.
1t takes strong man to lift Billy
the way babies are generally lifted.
When he had attained weight of 80
pounds, at eight months, by a system
of treatment, his weight was reduced to
67 pounds, but he soon began to pick

up again, and he now weighs rs. And
he has ten of the cunningest teeth you
ever saw. He shows them when he
laughs, and Billy does a good deal of
laughing, just like other fat and jolly
folks.
When a prize contest was started in
another city for the most popular baby,
Billy's picture was among those shown
and he walked off-no, he didn t walk
mposs.ble-he got the first prize of
$3.50. He also got diamond ring,
which he wears proudly ON his ring
finger, but it sinks into the fat so far
that you can hardly s. it.
Billy also has two other diamond
rings, taken as prizes, and more prize
cribs than he can rse, all given him.
An undershirt for 10-year-old boy is
tight fit on Billy.
All day long he lies and crows and
talks to himself-or tries to-and some
times he sings, but not often. His
great delight is to sit in a big chair
in the window and look out at the peo-
pie passing by, but very few get by
without stopping to admire the big, fat
rascal, who grins and has all kinds of
fun.
Prominent Harrisburg physicians who
have seen Billy say that he will con-
tinue to take on weight, and will, when
4 years old, be regular giant.
Now you know Billy Mccarthy.

hand TO- hand FIGHTING

Berlin, March 8, (by Wireless to Say

War Office to-day is dated March 3, and
reads as follows:
''Near st. Eloi, to the south Of
Ypres, the attack yesterday of two
English companies upon our lines was
repulsed after violent hand-to- hand
fight. At point near Peronne French
aircraft came down on account of motor
and the two men on board were
taken prisoners.
"The French attacks in the Cham
pagne district have been without any
degree of success. The French troops
have been once again driven back into
their positions, with heavy losses.
"To the northwest of Ville-Sur.
Tourbe German troops occupied 2oJ
yards of trenches. French advances in
the forest of Consenvoye and near Ally
and Apremont have been easily repulsed
Attacks made by our troops to the
northeast of Badenvillers again result
ed in our getting possession of consid-
cradle territory. The German front to
the northeast of Celles has advanced
during the last few days a distance of
eight kilometres Give miles). The
French have made vain attempts to re,
cover their losses of recent days.
"Near Grodno, in Russian Poland
the situation remains unchanged. To
the southeast of Augustowo a Russian
force endeavored to cross the river
Bobr, but it was driven back with
heavy losses, 1900 Russians being
taken prisoners. Other Russian attacks
in the country in the northeast OF
Grodno broke down in front of the
German lines. To the southwest of
Kolmo the Germans made advances. At
a point to the south of Kysziniec a van
guard of German troops was forced
back by the superior strength of the
enemy. To the northwest of Przas ,-sz

way and attempted an advance. Sew.
