Rambo's Friends Hear
He May Be Renamed
For His Old Place

Notwithstanding the reports of the
appointment of this or that person to
the vacant position of Superintendent
of Public Grounds and Buildings there
has been a persistent rumor to-day
that Governor Brumbaugh might rein
state Samuel b. Rambo, who retired
from this important position on Mon
day. 1t is known that many of the
Governors warmest friends and sup
porterS feel that a mistake was made
in requesting the resignation of Mr..
Rambo in the midst of a bitter fac
tional controversy and it is also inti-
mated that there was considerable
misrepresentation to the Governor of
Mr.. Rambo's real attitude toward the
head of the administration.
The position of Superintendent of
Public Grounds and Buildings is so
extremely important and involves so
much technical knowledge of building
construction and manageme that
those who are familiar with Mr.. RAM
bo's qualifications believe that he
should be retained, if he will continue
to serve. At the large noonday
luncheon of the Chamber of Commerce
to-day Mr.. Rambo was told by many
of those present how much they re-
GREETED his retirement and the rumor
of his possible reinstatement has in
spired the hope that Governor Brum-
baugh will take this course, especially
in view of the fact that the technical
knowledge of Mr. Rambo is so neces-
sary in shaping up the many things
involved in the enlargement of the
Capitol Park zone and the probable
changes In the State House.

Americans All Liars
Declares ]. H. Mcfarland
in Washington Speech

Washington, Jan. 4.-The American
people are all liars, according to ].
Horace Mcfarland, of Harrisburg, Pa,
president of the American Civic Asso-
citation. In an address to-day before
the national parks conference Mr.. Nc
Farland said the national hymn proved
what liars the American people are.
love thy rocks and rills, thy
woods and tempted hills the hymn
runs, but we mine out the former and
we chop out the latter" said President
Mcfarland.
He estimated that the American
people use $4,000 years of time every
day in play, which costs them about
S11,0OO,000 every twenty-four hours.
To divert as much of this time and
money as possible toward the national
park development propaganda, should
be the big job, according to Mr.. Nc
Farland
Mr.. Mcfarland is president of the
Mt. Pleasant Press and secretary of
the Municipal League of Harrisburg.

men, can't pay 20 cents q gallon for

IF the farmers charge 20 cents

dent Cooper concluded.
Action of Producers
The producers at their meeting in
Linglestown last night voted unani-
mously to advance to 20 cents a gall
Ion on February /. The farmers claim
that milk sold at IS cents a gallon is
loss. Another meeting will be held
tonight in Mechanicsburg to discuss
the situation again. At the meeting
last night the need of a county farm
agent was pointed out by number of
the dairymen. No action was taken
in the open meeting on the question,
but many of the farmers present fav-
ored the plan.

Two important steps in the new
hotel proposition for Harrisburg were
taken yesterday afternoon. The stock
holders approved the financial ar
rangements for the taking over of the
site at Third and Walnut streets and
later the directors, after a long con-
terence with the architects and the
president of the United Hotels Com
pany, which will manage the Lotel
gave final approval to the plans.
FRANK A. Dudley, president of the
United Hotels Company, was present
during the discussion of the prelimin-
ary drawings with w. L. Stoddart, OF

designing of the building and it's ap-
pointments. Some revision was made

forts will be made to anticipate so fal

Mr.. Stoddart and Mr.. Essenweir
have had large experience in the de-
signing of hotels and other important
buildings and the owners as well az
the managers of the hotel are more
than pleased with the design and the
interior appointments. 1t will be

Wealthy Youth Under Surveil-
lance in Hotel; Acquaintance
Come Forward

philadelphia, Jan. 4.-Police efforts
in the search to find the murderer of
Maizie Colbert, artist model and for
mer manicurist. who was found beaten
and strangled in her apartment here
last Saturday night, were to-day di-
rected to learning the identity of a
man who was driven in a taxicab early
last Friday morning to the street cor
ner where the apartment house stands.
At the same time the authorities are
keeping under surveillance the wealthy
young man from the interior of Penn
sylvania who is known to have been q
friend of the young woman.
I'VE have eliminated no one from
the case" reiterated Captain of De-
tectives Tate.
Two public school teachers came
into the case to-day and are assisting
the police in trying to identify the
ta&icab passenger. A chauffeur some
days ago told the police that late on
Thursday night he drove a man and
two young women to Germantown, a
suburb, left the women at their home
and then brought the man in town to
the apartment house corner. The
chauffeur was not positive whether the
man entered the house. The teachers
have known the man for about a year
ana spent thursday evening with him
visiting hotel cafes. According to the
young women, he is connected with a
coal firm in or near Pittsburgh.
Feel He Is Innocent
The school teachers say they feel
sure that their friend has no connec-
ton with the case. He at all times
conducted himself as u gentleman,
said one of the young women. They
were surprised to learn that he had
failed to pay the taXicab bill, as he
disappeared around the street corner
as though he was going to enter the
apartment house. The chauffeur
waited for him many hours and then
failed to find his fare in the house.
The wealthy young man who is re-
naming at a hotel here under an
agreement with the police has not
been seen by anyone but close friends
and detectives. According to his
friends, he has a complete alibi.
Men acquaintance of the murdered
girl are still coming forward to tell
what they know about Miss Colbert
and to clear themselves of any con-
nection with the case. One of the
most prominent to appear and shed
himself of connection with the affairs
of the young woman was a man well
known in the city who was a star base
ball player in his college days.
The funeral of the murdered woman
was held to-day. 1t was said that the
expenses of the funeral were paid by
men who knew her well.

PLAN R. R. LAWS
REQUIRING LONG
STRIKE NOTICE
Proposed Legislation Would
Give President Military
Control

Washington, d. c., Jan. 4.-Railroad
legislation desired by President Will
son to supplement the Adamson law is
to be pressed in the House without
waiting for action by the Senate.
After conference with the Presi-
dent, and while the Senate committee
was continuing it's hearings on the
subject, representative Adamson,
chairman of the House commerce
committee, announced that within a
few days he would introduce and seek
the passage of bills designed to pre-
vent railroad employees from striking
without giving sixty days notice and
to empower the President to place
ued-up roads in the hands of military
authorities in case of public necessity.
1t had been understood that the
President wanted the railroad program
completed by amendments to a meas
ure now pending in the Senate Mr..
Adamson said, however, that he was
tired of waiting for the Senate to act.
They will run on with these hear
ings for I don't know how long" he
added, and l doubt if the members
know much more about the subject
when the hearings are over than they
do now"
To Prolong Committees Life
Mr.. Adamson also will press his pro-
posed special rule, now in the House
rules committee, for immediate con-
stderation of his resolution to extend
the life of the Newlands railway in
vestigation committee for one year.
The life of this committee will expire
next Monday unless it is extended. OBJ
lection by Representative Rayburn,
of Texas, blocked unanimous consent
for consideration of the resolution.
Vigorous opposition to the proposed
compulsory notice measure from or
ganized labor generally is anticipated.
1t was to fight such proposals that the
four railway brotherhoods and the
American Federation of Labor repre-
sentatives recently allied themselves
unoff1cially. They oppose all measures
forcing men to labor.
Brotherhood officials are expected
here within the next few days to tes-
tify before the Senate committee and
1t is expected that they then will in
augurate fight on the Adamson pro-
posals.
House leaders pointed out that pass
age of the Adamson bills by the House
would not interfere with the Senate
procedure. The Senate has before II
bill passed by the House at the last
session to enlarge the Interstate Com
merce Commission and any House
measures easily could be attached to
1t as amendments. Action on the en-
tire bill in conference then would be
prompt, it is argued

Signing as Fake"
CRITICISE STATE METHOD
Acquiring of Property in Capt.
tol Park Zone Discussed at
Transfer Hearing

One of the remonstrances against
the proposed transfer of Andrew
Schutzenbach's wholesale liquor license
from 400 Walnut street to $40 Verbeke
street was characterized this morning
in the Dauphin county court by
Charles II. Bergner. attorney for
Schutzenbach, as transparent fake"
THE whole things a transparent
fake" declared Mr.. Bergner, "and II
has been worked on the court time
and again"
Some of the signers to the remon-
STRANGE, as read off by Attorney II. b.
Saussaman, counsel for the remon-
strants, were Sheriff w w. Caldwell,
DR.. j. w. Ellenberger. John E. Gipple,
II. G. Ross, Harper w. Spong, Willard
Young, George L. Reed, E. A. Shaft
ner, Charles II. Kinter and E. +.
Rowe.
The Remonstrances
Attorney Bergner picked legal flaws
in the remonstrances in that many of
the signatures were written in inden-
teal handwriting, others were without
residences, still others were outside
the ward in which the wholesale liquor
man wishes to locate.
Three numerously signed remon-
strances were filed, one from the Sixth
ward, the proposed location of the
transferred liquor store, which bore
1872 signatures, 70 of whom were men
and the remaining 115 women; an
other containing 413 men and 342
women from city and county, and an
other containing SO names from the
city. A fourth petition, containing IL
signatures, was not accompanied by an
affidavit and this was not considered.
Attempt to Deceive Court
In arguing against the admission OF
all the remonstrances but the one from
the Sixth ward Mr.. Bergner declared
he couldn't see the purpose of intro
ducing such paper unless it was the
intention to deceive the court or for
newspaper publicity purposes. In pass
ing Mr.. Bergner Whacked the news
papers because they could confidently
be expected" to enlarge upon the fact
that so many had protested against the
transfer.
No Need for Liquor Store
All the remonstrances were based
on the fact that there is no necessity
for the location of the liquor store at
$40 Verbeke street and that the trans
fer would be detrimental to the public
good.
Attorney Bergner declared that Mr.
Schutzenbach has been ordered by the
State to vacate his property, which is
just on the edge of the Capitol Park
extension zone; that vain search had
been made throughout the town fol
