Presidents Reply to
Pope's Peace Proposal
May Not Be Favorable

Washington. Aug. 81. = Rarely has
in the highest official circles than
exists to-day in regard to the Presi-
dents probable answer to the Pope's
proposal He is receiving definitely
advisers, and each of the opposing
groups is confident that its advice will
be followed. Those who advocate re-
lection of the note are absolutely GER
tain that the Presidents answer will
be unfavorable to further negotiations
or move by the Pope. They will not
even admit that there is the slightest
possibility of a favorable reply. They
continue to argue that the position
which the President took at the en-
trance of the United States into the
war makes rejection of the Popes pro-
posal inevitable.

about to return to his own office
when the cashier was called from
the room.
Within a few feet of the young
mans hand were two great packs of
$40 bills, held in place by rubber
bands. A quick glance convinced
Shoemaker that he was not OBJ
served, and acting upon the impulse
of the moment he slipped a part of
the bills from one stack. Jamming
them into a pocket he returned to
his room, and placed the money in
a drawer of his desk, covering the
bills with large envelope, he said
in the confession.
Only once did he leave the desk
that morning, and that afternoon,
after making certain that no one was
present to see, he slipped the money
into his pockets. During the after
noon a bookkeeper remarked to him
that the account was about $4,000
short, but attributed the shortage to
an error made by the adding ma
chine.
Always Trusted
During all the years that Shoe
maker has been in the office of the
Pipe Bending works, he has uorn on
trusted with large responsibilities,
and until he yielded to temptation a
month ago, he has always proven
faithful to his charge. That the alb
sence of family ties and the influence
of fair face have been factors in
his undoing there can be no doubt.
Shoemaker had never been a drink
ing man in the ordinary sense of the
term, and the only time that he was
Intoxicated, according to his confess
sion, was when he desired to rid him
self of the money secreted in the
| cellar of the house.
When questioned about Shoe
makers life, his employers stated
that they had reposed every conf
dence in the young man. They knew
| that he was not married, they said,
and despite some apparent irregu-
| larities in his mode of living, they
| considered him absolutely trust
worthy.
At the Dauphin county Jail, Shoe
be regarding Mrs. Conrad, that she
should be kept out of the affair as
much as possible.
Small Hope of Recovery
The authorities entertain little
hopes of recovering the lost bills,
which to the average man would
mean a small fortune. At the point
| described by Shoemaker the c''-"Hnt
| Is swift, and 1t is probable that the
precious package now lies at the bot

this place.
Unless the original bills are re-

Steelton Precinct Is
Having Difficult Time
Finding Polling Place

Third Ward, Steelton, are worried
these days, not about the war. but
about the appointment of Judge OF
elections. and the finding of a poll
ing place.
Dame Fortune hasn't been smiling
so kindly on the voting district in
the lower end borough. Recently
the polling place at 1852 Main street
was destroyed by fire. But the worst
came later when John Husic, a Dem
ocrat. and judge of elections. removed
from the precinct. Husic and
Charles III. Rider are the only two
registered Democrats in the precinct.
Rider is already an officeholder as
he was elected assessor. The law
requires that when the court appoints
successor in n county voting dis
trict, he must be of the same party
as the person whose place he takes.
What is worrying the voters now is
can be named Judge of elections.

Buys Second Farm


After a time the farm was dis
posed of, and the couple returned to
this city, but the lure of the land
again called to the young man, and
he purchased another farm near the
city. Shoemaker and Mrs. Conrad
lived there until April of this year,
according to the confession, when
they came to Harrisburg and rented
an apartment or rooming house at
S1S North Second street. The change
was made necessary through losing
the farm by fire.
Although Shoemaker was earning
a good salary and received a bonus
of almost $4,000 per year. he went
into debt for furniture when he re-
turned to this place, the confession
said.
