Such moon and ice as the ardent

Will Help to Stir Up
Public Sentiment For
New High School Loan

d. l.. NJ. Raker, president of the
Harrisburg School of Commerce, gave
a dinner last evening at the Senate
Hotel to the committee which by his
invitation accompanied him on an in
spection of the Central High School
last week. Mr.. Raker was delegated
by the Harrisburg Rotary Club to the
duty of visitation and last evenings
dinner was to hear the views of MEM
bers of the committee, which were
transcribed by stenotype for future
reference.
The committee will report back to
the club urging that organization to
do everything possible to assist the
school board in stirring up sentiment
in behalf of the passage of u school
loan. IT was the consensus of opin-
ion, that while the committeeman hold
their own individual views as to loca-
tion and system of education for
new High School, the big thing is to
get the High School loan property be-
fore the public, letting less important
details take care Of themselves. The
committeeman all expressed the belief
that the present faculty is doing all
but that the handicap of inadequate
surroundings is too great to permit of
first class work, the only remedy be-
ing a new building.

BITTER DEBATE
ENDS IN VICTORY
FOR J. P. WHITE
Mother Jones Helps Miner
Leader Vote Down Inves-
tigation of Finances

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 20.-After a
long and bitter debate over a propo-
sition to investigate the financial at
fairs within the United Mine Workers
of America the administration of the
big union won a sweeping victory in
convention to-day when the delegates,
with comparatively few dissenting
votes. voted down q resolution to ap-
point a committee to conduct such a
scrutiny of the ORGANIZATIONS money
affairs
The result came with a sudden cli-
max when Mother" Mary Jones, more
than so years old, stepped on the plat
form and demanded that the belliger-
ent delegates bury the hatchet and
that Duncan Mcdonald and Adolph
Germer of Illinois. who had been lead
ing the fight on John p. White, presi-
dent of the organization, come to the
platform and shake hands with White.
Amid tumultuous enthusiasm the two
men went up on the stage and, with
out exchanging any greeting with the
leader of the miners, shook his hand.
When Germer and Mcdonald left
the platform there was a roar for the
previous question and a motion to that
effect carried. Then the motion was
put to nonconcur in the resolution
asking for the investigation and was
| carried.
The resolution to investigate padded
expense accounts and other financial
matters of the union, fathered by Ger
mer and vigorously supported by
Mcdonald and others, came up yes
terday. There were charges, counter
| charges, insinuations and intimations
fired back and forth in vigorous Ian
guage. Personalities figured to large
extent and there was a rehashing of
many incidents in the inner workings
of the organization. -.s-. ...
President White charged that the in
PRODUCTION of the resolution was an at
tempt to undermine the administration
to the discredit of the 100000 union
mine workers. Whites opponents de-
MED there was any ulterior motives,

Urges Paving of Way For

For Limitation Of Armament
BY Associated Press

Backed by its great wealth and re-
sources, and with an established naval
building program the United States
will be in a position at the close of
the European war to call an interna-
tional conference for limitation of ar
mament, Secretary Daniels declared
to-day before the House Naval Com
mittee. .-'-.-
IF these nations know that we are
rich enough and big enough and pre-
pared to build more dreadnaughts
than anybody else It will give us a
stronger voice. he said.
"I agree with you there" said Rep
resentative Butler whose questions
had brought out the secretary's state
ment, but as to one point. I would
wait until then and if they refused
our suggestion and kept on building, I
would borrow hundreds of millions Of
dollars and build twenty-four ships in
four years"
Where would you build them 2"
asked Secretary Daniels.
II would devote every facility in the
country to it," said Representative
Butler.

ORIGIN OF THE GIPsIEs

When the Gipsies first appeared in
England in the fifteenth century, the
name Gipsy was given to them by the
English people, who believed them to
have come from Egypt. The French,
by similar mistake, called them Bo-
hemians. But a careful study of this
race and especially of their language,
shows that they came originally from
India The Gypsy language is derived
from the Sanscrit as are the other
Aryan languages of India. A similar
error was made by the English when
they called distinctively American
bird turkey, under the impression
that it was an importation from the
Ottoman Empire. and by the French
when they called the same bird cog
d'Inde, believing that it came from In
