Venison Big Item on
Menu of Charitable
Institutions Tomorrow

If you happen to be a patient or
an inmate of any Harrisburg charit-
able institution tomorrow you will
live high. Venison is to be one of the
big items on the Christmas bill of fare
and venison, you know, is out of sea-
son, and much more exclusive, oh very
much more exclusive than mere, ordi-
nary turkey. For once the charities
have it all over" the folks who live
at home.
Three of the buck deer at PaXtang
park were slain yesterday upon order
of President Frank b. Musser, of the
Harrisburg Railways Company, and
the meat distributed among the vari-
Gus charitable institutions of the city.
Nay. do not pity the bucks who
were sent to the slaughter house. They
were no gentle, timid animals. On the
other hand they weer bad lot. They
fought each other all over the place
at PaXtang, broke down the fences and
wouldn't let the does have a bite until
they had eaten their fill. So it was
decided to turn them into fresh meat,
and as the deer season in Pennsylva-
MIA has come to an end State per-
NIT was necessary. Some of the di-
rectors offered to buy the meat, but
Mr.. Musser decided it should go to
the unfortunates of the city for their
Christmas dinner.

All records for Christmas traffic in
the city were broken yesterday and
to-day, Gripping all branches of train

and causing the biggest rush in recent
years at the Harrisburg Post Offfe and
express company offices.
Trains arriving in the city, in many
instances were several hours late, due
partly to unfavorable weather condi-
tions. Railroad officials made every
effort to-day to aet back to schedule
time despite tie Christmas rush,

vania Railroad yards, and Adams
Express Company platforms, every
inch of space was filled with articles.
Every available truck was kept in mo-
ton all day moving the packages
about as they were sorted for the diff
ferent trains.
At the Harrisburg Post Office, both
yesterday and to-day, new records
were established for handling mail.
Extra employees, trucks and wagons
were kept in service all day.

If there's a boy or girl in Harris

year, it will not be the fault of hum
dreds of kind men and women in the
city and vicinity who have been spend
ing days in preparing to make the sea-

Much of the work of caring for the
hundreds of needy children is being
done through the Associated Aid So
cieties, but churches, businessmen,
secret organizations and many indi-
viduals have interested themselves in
providing Christmas cheer for needy
families.
Donations are being received by the
Associated Aid Societies from thirty
organizations and several hundred
private individuals. Others are ar
ranging to entertain boys and girls at
dinners and Christmas parties.
Clothing, coal and other necessities
are being furnished in many homes as
Christmas gifts, and in some instances
arrangements are being made to care
for destitute families during the re-
mainder of the winter.

CITY BATHHOUSE
ITEM IS HANGING
IN THE BALANCE
$4,000 Item in Grave Danger;
Expected Cut in Tax Rate
Certain

Council will reduce the city tax
rate from nine and half to nine mills
for the ensuing year, as had been con-
fidently expected when it became
known that some of the surplus funds
of the water department were to be
diverted to the general revenue fund.
But at that the question of whether
or not the $1,000 item for a municipal
bathhouse and bathing beach is to be
provided for is in doubt.
Unless the Greater Harrisburg Navy
and other river enthusiasts rally and
and rally quickly to the defense of the
item, the possibilities for obtaining
recognition of the demands of thou
sands of river lovers will go by the
board.
City Commissioner w. II. Lynch
frankly admitted to-day that he is op-
posed to the item although he said he
is for the reduction of the tax rate.
Couldn't it be possible, since money
is being taken from the water surplus.
to include an additional $1,000 for the
bathhouse?" he was asked.
Don't see how" said he. "The
revenue even with the water money
means that we've got to cut twenty
thousand from our budget as 1t isl"

If the rush of business at the Dau-

against Recorder James E. Lentz,
Cupid and Santa Claus of running the
bureau in cahoots. Mr.. Lentz would
have probably pleaded guilty for near

for the pre-Christmas rush. Not that
the recorder couldn't handle them all,

force busy writing out the licenses at
the rate of one every five minutes.

had been issued and from all appear

Lest the diffident, blushing, shyly

decorative scheme in keeping with
the season. About the offices great
pink papier mache bells-Christmas

about it-were hung and from these
festoons of laurel were strung.
But that wasn't all that gave the
offices a Christmas touch, bless you.

EIGHT-HOUR DAY
Arbitration Board Allows Men,

Cents an Hour More; Asked
10 or IL Cents

New York, Dec. 23.-The eight-hour

tion Board in a decision to-day in the

. cents per hour for both foremen and

advance of 10 to IL cents. They had
demanded also time and half pay for
overtime work instead of the pro rata
basis fixed by the board.
While all six arbitrators signed the
award, James B. Connors and w. A.
Titus. representing the switchmen, dis
sented as to the scent increase. to the
denial of time and a half for overtime
and to the award giving overtime at
the pro rata rate.
Thirteen Eastern Roads

railroad representatives, dissented to
the award of the eight-hour day.
Charles B. Howry was chairman of
the board and jeremiah jerks was the
sixth member.
The award affects thirteen eastern
railroads.
Much emphasis has been laid upon
the fact that the hours of work of the
switchmen are often long" says a
statement by Arbitrators Howry and
jerks attached to the award. AL
though the standard work day has
been ten hours, frequently the men
have worked from eleven to twelve
and sometimes even longer"
