Washington Doubts.
Sincerity Of Proposals
BY Associdfcd Press

Washington, Dec. 27.-The condi-
lions. surrounding Count Czernin s
proposals for basis of peace caused
officials here to feel some apprehen-
sion for their sincerity. There is a
great disposition to feel that the OBJ
Ject of the German. plenipotentiaries
is simply to protract the negotiations
as long as possible without any ex-
pectation of an immediate peace
agreement with the double purpose
of leading the German people to be-
lieve their government really is de-
sirous of making peace, and of gain
ing time for the further strengthen
ing of the German lines in the west.
One condition regarded as i'm
possible for the present at least is
that the adherence of all belliger-
ents must be secured to the peace
the Germans are trying to make
with Russia before it can become ef-
fective, This is accompanied by a
demand for the return of the Ger
man colonies now in the possession
of Russia's allies.

GOVERNMENTAL
PROVIDE FUNDS
FOR EQUIPMENT
Large Sum Will Be Available
For Rolling Stock to Re-
lieve Congestion in Roads
By associated Press

Washington, Dec. 27.-One of the
first acts of the government in be-
ginning operation of railroads will
be to reduce large salaries now paid
to the railway executives and in
crease in some measure the wages of
the railway workers.
Securities to be issued while the
government is in control will be at
interest rates not less than 4 per
cent. and the issues will be made
under joint authority of the direc-
tor general and the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
President Wilson, when he OUT
lined the governments plans in his
forthcoming address to Congress,
will ask that the government be en-
powered to buy any quantity of new
railroad securities. All earnings
over and above an amount to be
agreed upon will go to the govern
ment.
Congress will ask also to appro-
pirate a large fund-probably two
hundred million dollars-for the i'm
mediate supply of rolling stock to
handle the flood of traffic which has
swamped the roads.
The director general will have au-
thority to decide whether the gov
ernment shall also assume operation

ADVOCATES CASH
AND CARRY PLAN
FOR GROCERIES
Food Administrator McCor-
mick Takes Up Matter
With Dealers

Cash and Carry" signs soon will
be posted all over Harrisburg If
Donald Mccormick, food admiuis-
traitor for Dauphin county, succeeds
in making arrangements with the
Harrisburg Grocers' Association.
Mr. Mccormick is seeking to have
all grocers reduce their deliveries to
the minimum. Cooperation with
the dealers by the consumers will
it is believed, so far reduce the
overhead. expenses that great saw
ings may be effected
Probably half a dozen stores have
already taken up the cash and
carry plan. but it now probably will
involve every establishment, big and
little. Many grocers have volun-
teered their favor of the plan. They
say it will save motor car service,
salary of a driver, telephone ex-
penses, wrapping paper and sun
dry other items which now total up
to a surprisingly big amount Fur
thermore, it will = eliminate the
charge system and save the firms
On bookkeeping.
Mr.. Mccormick said this morning
that Harrisburg should not look
upon this system as q. hardship. 1t
falls on all alike, and there is no
disgrace in going home even with
your arms full of purchases because
the nation demands it.

budget committee last night gave as
surance that ashes will be collected

pal departments the tax rate will be
increased from nine to ten mills and
the domestic water rates from a min
imum of $4 to Sc. with proportionate
increases for, manufacturers.
This statement was given during
the session at which representative

confronting the commissioners
Bids for ash collections will prob
ably be advertised for within the
next week or two it was said and
provision for the expense will he
made in the budget ordinance which

ing tomorrow night. An executive

Last Of Christmas Mail
Cleared From POstoffice

More than 100000 pieces of first
class mail passed through the Harris
burg postoffice in the four days prior
to Christmas. The Christmas rush
was Unprecedented. 126 loads of par
cells post being delivered in the four
days. One wagon continuously col
lected from the stations at several of
the big stores, working from
O'Clock in the morning to in the
evening. Another wagon was collect
ing continuously for twelve hours
each day. About $500 parcels and
1000 insured parcels were sent
through the main post office during
the four-day Christmas rush. In ad-
dition to this, the mail at the Hill a Id
Maclay street stations was very
heavy. The number of special deiiv-
cry letters during the four days. re-
ceived and delivered was 1898. Other
incoming mail was so heavy that the
mailing room of the new post office
building was used during the rush.
The newly remodeled post office
building will be open for occupancy
February 1, the contractor, Augustus
Wildman. announced. The Federal
Court is scheduled to meet here jan
uary IA. and the contractors are en-
dcavoring to get the rooms i'll good

Masons Plan Service
Badges For Men in Army

The Grand Masonic Lodge of
Pennsylvania is planning to give
each member of the lodge who is
called into government service
a gold recognition badge to be worn
on a conspicuous part of the uni
form. Each member will receive a
special emblem, with his name and
the familiar compass and square in
scribed on it. The local lodges of
Masons. will probably present their
members with these badges.
Should he be found by another
Mason lying on a field of battle and
needing care or medical attention the
badge would be a sufficient demand
for that fraternal help which all
members are pledged to give.
1t is planned to present the recog-
milton badges to most of the enlisted
Masons prior to their departure for
the other side. In all probability
the badges will be pinned on their
breasts by high officials of the or
der.

Careless Enlisted Men
Classed as DeIinuuents

Enlistment of registered men and
their failure to officially notify local
draft boards means that a number of
men now in the service will be mark
ed as delinquents and placed in the
first draft division for failure to re-
turn their questionnaires. members
of the three city boards said to-day.
1t was said that a large number OF
men have thus enlisted.
Parents who wish to avoid the
odium of having enlisted sons class
ed as delinquents, may take the mat
ter up with the boards by subm lttins
proof of enlistment. it was said. Un
less this is done within the seven-day
time limit, exemption board members
must, it was said, class the men as
slackers.

CHRNTLEY IS
SENTENCED TO
ELECTRIC CHAIR
Wife Murderer Loses Fight
For Life in County Courts;
Says He Was Crazy

John o. Christley, convicted of
first degree murder on a charge of
shooting his wife to death before his
children, was refused a new trial to-
day by the Dauphin county, court,
and the death sentence was imposed
by Judge S. ]. NJ. McCarrell.
The motion for a retrial was based
on the contention that the court err
red in ruling out evidence to show
insanity among cousins. This was
argued several weeks ago, and to-
day Judge McCarrell read the opin-
ion of the court from the bench, in
which this contention was over
ruled.
Before giving the sentence Christ
ley was asked if he had anything to
say. He was standing at the time
and was staring at the floor. He
leaned forward slightly and the court
repeated the question. Christley
then made his only statement in pub
lie since he was arrested a year ago
in July. While he had spoken to
counsel during court trial he had
not been put on the stand.
well, / don't think that L was in
responsible condition of mind at
the time the crime was committed"
Christley began, speaking in q low
tone. 81 do not remember anything
about the crime at all. L have no
cognizance of this crime at all, and
l don't know anything about it, and

second time within month that
Mexican raiders have been followed
across the border. Movements of the
American troops were unknown by
Colonel George T. Langhorne, COM

was impossible for the pursuing
forces to get in connection with head
quarters until they had chased the
bandits out of the rocky country
where they sought refuge Tuesday

and two MeXicans.

Bread Cards Unnecessary

Paris, Dec. 27.-The issuance of
bread cards, which was to have been
made on January 1, will not be car
ried out. The minister of provisions,
Victor Borel, made this announce
ment to day. Appreciable results nave
been obtained by voluntary rationing,
he added, and if further effort were
made it would be unnecessary to is
sue bread cards.
Restrictions in the consumption of
bread have been applied since Decem-
ber 90 to hotels and restaurants, re-
sulting in a saving of twenty per
cent.
