Believed To Have Agreed
On A Whole Slate.

What is believed to have been &
Harrison-for-M Mayor meeting was hello
in the offices OF the cement plant in
the Himmclberger-Ha building
last night. William H. Harrison. who
returned yesterday from a trip
through the West, was present. There
we're about two-score of business and
professional men at the meeting and
all were there on special invitations.
A representative of The Tribune who
called to report the results of the
meeting, was asked to vacate. The
reporter was Just emerging from the
hall into the caucus chamber when
Judge Oscar A. knehanS discovered
him and whispered to w. H. Harrison.
Mr.. Harrison arose quickly and rush
ing to the reporter, said: Il beg
YOUR pardon; this is private meet
ing"
"Do you mean that | cannot re-
main" inquired the reporter. 'No
you cannot be present. replied Nr
Harrison.
The delegates to the meeting sat
in circle around the room. The re-
potter only got a glance into the
room and saw those seated on one
side of The office Among these were:
William H. Harrison, James A. Kin
der, Oscar 4. kichans, NJ F. Leming.
Harry l.. Albert. William c. Balm,
John J. Hunter, Arthur c. Bowman,
Charles w. Stehr, Joel r. Num- ard
Prof. w. W. Martin.
After the meeting adjourned, The
Tribune attempted to obtain state
ments from some of those present but
they either denied they had attended
the meeting, or We're nOncommittal.
The invitations were issued during
the afternoon, and most Of them were
delivered over the telephone. Teh in

tails that were to be taken up at the
but those invited were in
formed that the meeting was of a
political nature.
1t is generally believed that William
II. Harrison agreed to make the race
for Mayor and that two men were
chosen TO make the race for Commits
sioners, but The Tribune was unable
to have these conclusions confirmed
last night 1t is believed that Arthur
c. Bowman will be one of the candi
dates on the Harrison tocket, but no
nantes were suggested for the other
commissioner. 1t was reported last
night that Edward F. Regenhardt may
be induced to drop his aspirations for
Mayor and run for Commissioner.

dustries and all other manufacturing
plants were urged by the War Depart
ment today to strengthen the bar
riers against enemies bent on damage
or destruction by systematic inspect

1t is necessary to do this. the War
Department explained, because it will
help reduce the necessity for guards.
Troops, it was again announced, can
not be used for these purposes, be-
cause they are needed on the battle
lines and police work.

GEORGIA EARLE AT PALACE
HAS A MISSION IN LIFE

Miss Georgia Earle, who will pre-
sent her sketch Getting Acqua1nt
ed at the Palace the first half OF
next week, feels that she has a mis-
sion other than that of mere enter
tainment. Her sketch tells of bash
full swain who had dallied hfteen
years without coming to the pop
PIN point, and the means which
were finally taken to bring him
there. Letters which Miss Earle has
received from seven cities appear to
show that others than the reluctant
JOHN have been brought to the
same point by merely seeing the lit
tie sketch and the grateful brides
have written her to thank her for
playing there. One man admitted
he would not have taken his sweet
heart to see the sketch If he had
known what it was, but he is glad
he did. Another man proposed on
the way home from the theatre,
while the rest all came to time be-
fore the week was out. One chap
sent the program to the girl the next
day with a circle drawn round the
name of the sketch and the query
why not us?" Two men added
postscripts to their brides letters
saying they were glad they have beer
brought to the sticking point at last

any constructive skill. 1t would be
a sad reflection on the fame of the

School.
