Furnished in Mahogany
The whole lower floor is furnished
with mahogany, as are all the cases
which, by the way. are now filled
with a new and magnificent stock
which will daZe the optics of the art
lover. For example, the cases on the
messanine floor, which opens above
with gallery effect, contain the last
importation of Minton china which
came from that ancient English
firm; Chelsea glass clocks which are
only on sale in a few places in this
country, egg shell china, of the most
previous kind and a wonderful COL
lection of bronZes.
The flooring throughout is made
of terrazo, and the border above IS
composed Of three types of marble,
one from Italy, another from Ver-
mont, a third from North Caroline.
1t is probably the only two-story
building in Harrisburg which is fur
nished with an electric elevator.

Election of Lykens Man
to Council Is Contested

Claiming the name of A. f. Hanna
had been mistakenly printed on the
election ballots for the West Ward,
Lykens, as a Socialist party candi-
date, and that because of the sixty
eight Socialist votes which he receiv-
ed he was elected to the borough
council, thirty-eight electors of the
ward to-day filed a petition with the
court to have the candidate show
why his election should be certified.
as it is alleged he has no legal claim
to the office. The petition was pre-
sented by Michael r. Stroup, and the
rule was made returnable December
II.
1t is stated that George w. Cook
and Isaac Zerby were the Socialist
nominees and that Cook resigned the
County Commissioners then putting
on the ballot Hanna's name, both as
Republican and Socialist candidate
with the result that he was elected
over ID. E. Trout. Democratic and

After an interview with George A.

Mrs. Lyman d. Gilbert, president of
the Harrisburg Red Cross Chapter,
announced that it will not be neces-
sary for the chapter to move it's
headquarters from 206 Walnut street,

tention was to vacate the rooms on
the first of the month, but through
the kindness of the state, a week S
extension has been granted the or
ganiZation.
I'VE are deeply grateful to the de-
partment for their kindness. They
were very kind in telling us that they
would cooperate with the Red Cross
to the fullest extent" said Mrs. Gill
bert.
The Eager school building will be
headquarters for packing and ship
ping and the hall of the Harrisburg

THE finest store between Chicago
and Philadelphia" is one of the COM
ments upon the new home of the
House of Bcas, oldest jewelers. and
silversmIths III Harrisburg, whose
establishment at 2S North Second
stI eet will be opened tomorrow af-
ternoon. The public will be admitted
promptly at o'clock and from then
on to closing time at night Charles
Ross Beas and his son, Charles K.
Boas, will be hosts to a multitude of
friends.
A pronounced sentiment associated
with this location will be felt by
many persons who knew and pa
tronized the little old shop so long
kept by the Misses Jennie and Ellen
Gutelius, who inherited the quaint
building, made of logs and covered
with weather board, which was
erected IN 1916. Previous to that,
in 1888, a dwelling had occupied the
spot built by Nicholas Lover, who
had secured the ground from a des-
cendant of John Harris. 1t is sin
Sularly appropriate that this land
mark should now be identified by so
solid and attractive a, structure as
the Boas store.
1T was the dream of my father
to erect building that would do
credit to his native CITY," explained
Mr.. Boas, mo matter whether It is
or is not a paying investment. He
felt it to be a civic duty"
The result cf this liberal determi-
nation can be comprehended now by
anybody who sees even the outside
of the Boas building where the eye
is attracted by the blazed terracotta
front with its bronze doors, bronze
marquise over the entrance, bronze
window frames and bases. The archi-
tect of this structure, c. Howard
Lloyd, made no mistake in following

WAY OF TRANsGREsSOR IS HARD.
Swindlers of South Carolinians Come
to Grief.

Boston, Mass. December 21:-
Robert H Duncan and his wife, who
it is alleged, cleaned up $4,000 in
swindles at Columbia and Spartan
burg, S C.. received Jail sentences
here today for using the mails to
defraud. Duncan. who was arrest
ed in Burlington, Vt. on Thanksgiv-
ing day, charged with using the
mails in a scheme to defraud cham
bers of commerce and others, was
sentenced to three years in the At
lanta penitentiary by Judge Morton
in the federal district court and his
wife, Marion, charged with the same
offense. was sentenced to a year and
a day in East Cambridge Jail. Both
pleaded guilty.
l, Mrs Duncan is an attractive wo-
man about 80 years of age, and was
dressed in the height of fashion.
She wept bitterly as she heard her
sentence pronounced. Later. in the
marshal's office, where she waited
her transfer to Jail, she broke down
completely, despite the efforts of
her husband to console her.
Duncan shouldered the blame en-
tirely. He told Judge Morton that
the scheme was his. that his wife's
part in it was purely mechanical and
that she acted under his direction
and against her will. He asked the
court to show all the mercy possible.
The scheme consisted of sending
letters to chambers of commerce,
stating that a representative of the
United Fruit Company would soon
visit them to look over cold storage
facilities. Mrs Duncan, under the
name of Mary Walker. would ap-
pear shortly thereafter and while

This provides for an excess OF
sl3, 900. but this will be absorbed
possibly by reflections of some of
the counties. 1t will be seen that
the figures are not excessive. All
present at the meeting marveled
how readily the two bridges could
be acquired if each county would
fall in and do its part in proportion
to the advantages to accrue. Mr.
SHELLS executive committee will
take these figures under revision
and then submit them to the chair
man of each of the county commit
tees and endeavor to get the whole
matter upon a working basis. The
Charleston delegation. consisting of
A V Smell. James w Martin, William
Gaillard and Wilson G Harvey, work
ed hard to bring about the results
which were obtained. The advo-
Gates of the Murray's landing had
to be reconciled and some of the
representatives were insistent that
the Pee Dee bridge matter be in
corporated in any consideration of
the Santee bridges. A patriotic
spirit prevailed, however, and con-
cessions were made on all sides, re-
sulting in action being taken which
will probably insure the construc-
ton of the two bridges within the
next year. The presence of State
Highway Engineer Murray was ap-
preciated as he furnished valuable
information. The absence of repre-
sentatives from Orangeburg and
Clarendon counties. which strongly
supported the Pinckney landing
bridge, was regretted, but their in
terests were cared for by the repre-
sentatives from Charleston and else
where, who worked unselfshly for
results, taking broad and compre-
hensive views on the whole matter.
