ing, as q feature of the general
Pennsylvania conference on social
welfare February 13 and IA.
Mr.. Mcfarland is on the federal
committee on industrial housing and
thus was able to secure Mr.. Leland
for an address in Harrisburg. Mr..
Leland is a Boston architect of ma
tion-wide reputation, and began at
the beginning of the war to serve
the government as a dollar-a-year
man on the housing corporation. He

and had charge of the expenditure
of the $100,0O0,000 federal fund for
housing.
At the Z American Institute Of
Architects recently held in Boston,
he made an address, and proved him

will be of interest to all Harrisburg
ers who realize the/acuteness of the
city's housing problems.
The housing committee of the
Chamber will meet in the near future
to make arrangements for an active

MAJOR GLASPEY'S
DEATH VERIFIED
Wife Receives Official Con-
firmation of His Death and
Burial at Toul, France

Mrs. ReXford Milton Glaspey, of
Second and Forster streets, Yeceived
official confirmation from Adjutant
General Harris last evening of the
death of her husband, Major Glaspey,
aged 20 years. in base hospital No.
81, at Toul, France, of pneumonia.
He was buried with full military

from Brigadier General Edgar Rus
sell, chief surgical officer, A. e. F.,
telling of her husbands service for

nal Corps division. He was the only

In France, Major Glaspey did eX-
cellent work, having the honor of
installing the first common battery
switchboard of the world war. He
was superintendent of 100 square
miles of territory, never tiring of
work, so that when he was stricken
with influenza, lobar pneumonia soon
followed and his depleted strength
could not hold out.

wife, formerly Miss Mary Grater, of
this city, and little son, Rexford,
Glaspey, Jr., two and one-half years

1914 North Cameron street, about
$50 o'clock this morning.
The families are those of Mrs.
Elizabeth Stine, 1911 Julia street,
and Roland Shadow. 1918 Julia
street. They occupied part of a
frame row at the rear of the Her
man properties in North Cameron
street. All the properties are own
ed by Harry Herman, and his loss
is covered by insurance. A small
frame building at 1912 North Cam
eron, used as meeting place by
the Saints of Christ, Church of God,
colored congregation, also was
slightly damaged.
Mr.. Herman was at Market when
the fire occurred. Usually he keeps
horse and large number of chick
ems in the stable, but he took them
to market this morning. A buggy,
however, that was in the stable, was
burned.
A small boy playing with matches
in the rear of the stable started the
fire, it is thought. 1t was first dis
covered by Mrs. Slime, who occu-
pies the lower end of the Julia street
row, which adjoins the rear of the
sta BILE. She, with her sons, Charles.
Joseph and Howard Slime, were in
their house when the fire was. dis
covered. They managed to save
some of their household goods, but
the flames and water damaged the
contents of the house considerably.
Roy Meisenheimer, who lives next
to the Slime family in the Julia
street row, with Roland Shadon,
turned in the alarm.
Mr.. Herman is in the poultry and
grtNn grocery business, and also
buys up bottles. There was little
of value in the stable, but the crates
and boxes furnished ready fuel for
the flames, so that they spread con-
siderable before they were extin-
gliished. The firemen under the able
direction of John G. Kinder, chief,
devoted their efforts to saving the
adjoining frame properties in Julia
street.
