GAIETY MARKS
BIG BALLROOM
Hundreds Attend
First Banquet
of Season

Brilliant, diverting, home-like,
and altogether democratic was
the historic gathering last night
to celebrate the opening of the
Penn-Harris Hotel, marking a
distinct epoch in the life OF the
city and introducing a new, uncom-
in the Capital of Pennsylvania. So
keen and zestful was the apprecia-
ton of the more than 400 repre-
sentative citizens, men and women,
that they felt duly grateful when
Mayor Kcister, IN his response, told
how Senator Penrose some years
since was responsible for the state
government being retained here
when others would have moved it.
Decidedly, the most fascinating
time Harrisburg ever saw" was the
consensus of sentiment, when IL
o'clock banged and the lights DIM
med III the spacious ballroom to give
place to myriad sparklerS which
cracked and scintillated like a whole
flock of planets making up time i'll
the celestial sphere. The keynote
was TO eliminate selfconsciousness
Danish fear and depression and have
a general rejoicing in the return of
peace, winning of the war and in
the good fortune associated with the
coming of n regular hotel.
Plenty of Enthusiasm
The scheme of entertainment in
some measure guided itself and va
riety jetted so lively that Mercer B.
Tate. sailing about with red bon
net and streamers. confessed that
though he had handled II thousand
parades in his day this affair was
past him. Certainly, the hotel
management should be credited
with keeping the moments from get

Council Holds Up Vote on
Mayor Keister's APP

Because members of Council can
not agree upon the appointment of
woman as police matron, Mayor
Daniel L. Keister said to-day he will
ask the civil service board to con-
duct examinations again in order to
get additional names for the eligible
l::t.
1t has been known in city official
circles for months that the commits
sioners. could not vote unanimously
on an appointment from the present
eligible list. First names on the list
are Mrs. Edith f. Bergstresser, 317
Walnut street, and Miss Clara Mona
smith, 1906 Hunter street. The sal
AIRY is $3.50 year.
At the special meeting of Council
held August 8, Mayor Keister recon-
mended the appointment of Mrs.
Bergstresser. Before a vote was talk

moved and seconded the appoint
ment should be delayed one week.
Since that time no other action was
taken in Council.

also. The other Commissioners, how

More than $4,000 damage 10 stock
and fixtures in the Globe clothing
store, S22-324 Market street, was
caused by the first fire of the New

Benjamin Strouse. proprietor of
the store, and owner of the four
story building in which it is situat-
ed. is unable to state the origin of
the fife. FIe declared that in the
portion of the e'lar where it had its
inception, the firms waste paper is
baled and the fire might have
been started from the heating pipes
in that part of the cellar.
The efficiency of the firemcn in
confining the flames to the cellar was
the subject of much commentator
by Mr.. Strouse. They fought the fire
from $50 until 4 o'clock, when it
was finally under control.
The fire was first discovered bX

Patrolman Lowery made the ar
rest He declared that he did not
tell Hurley why he was arrested, but
on the way to the police headquar-
ters, Hurley said:
What have you arrested me for?

Paris. Jan. President Wilson
arrived in Paris last night. He spent
New Years Day resting. Tonight
he leaves for Italy. The President
expressed himself as exceedingly
pleased with his reception and the
conferences he had in England.
There seems to be no doubt that
many questions were settled in the
conferences held with Premier Lloyd
George. The conviction is expressed
! here that there is not likely to be
any serious differences on the issues
to be determined upon at the COM
ing peace congress so far as Great
Britain and America is concerned.
! There is a mutual understanding on
| the great problem of insuring the
worlds peace.
Regards Speech as Rejoinder
The speech OF President Wilson
against the balance, of power, de-
livered at Manchester on Monday
is regarded in high American quar-
ters here as direct srejoinderd to, the
speech of the French premier Gle
menceau in the Chamber of Depu-
, tlSS III "illNli lHc iSiNil lSducI ue-
clared his support of the balance
of power idea and his purpose to
make it his guiding thought in the
peace negotiations.
Whether il was intended to be so
it is not known, but the Presidents
, speech, coming within twenty-four
hours after that of the premier, has
led TO a contrast between the two
declarations as sharply defining two
! opposing viewpoints on the subject
! of balance of power among the ma
tions.

| speech on Sunday night now is avail.
