THE VAN BROWNIES

The Van o Browne Trio surely
captured their audience last even.
ing. Not for long time has a
Holly audience been so thoroughly
interested. These young men are
virile lot. Van o. Browne, him
self, was a perfect dynamo of lat.
ent energy. One could feel it fair
ly blowing from him, calm,
steady, irresistible stream that
kept his audience on the qui vive
The Versatility of these young
fellows was truly remarkabIe.-in
songs, on the various musical in
struments, in acting, in legerde-
main they We're fully at home.
But it was especially in telep-
athy and crystal gazing that Van
Browne won his audience We have
never seen more unimpeachible ex-
periments along this line. There
seemed to be no room for decep-
tiOn. 1t was actually uncanny
Only the matterof-fact way in
which the performer went about
the affair saved it from charges
of Spiritnalism. If he had gone
into a trance and did what he did
it would have made first class
Seance He convinced the most
skeptical present that there is
something in SocalIed 'mind-read-
ing. All in all it was an enjoyable
evening.
The next number of the course,
which is very highly spoken of
occurs in about month. Do not
miss this final number-perhaps
the best in the series.

SITE OF OLD POW VOW
Pennsylvania Historian Claims Penn Did Not sign Treaty With Indians in City of Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, Jan. 16.-Penn treaty park, now surrounded by shipyards in the Kensington district of Phiiadel- phia, where William Penn is said to have signed his famous treaty with the Indians, is not the real site of the historical pow WOW, according to Dr Albert Cook Myers, Moylan, Pa, his torian, who is compiling the com plete works of William Penn. in a published report today, he said tha the treaty with the Indians was signed in Bucks county, Pa. IT miles from Philadelphia.
 The Betss Ross house, which stands in Arch street in a wholesale com- mercial district, and where the first American flag is supposed to have been made, is not authentic, accord ing to Dr. Myers. The Betsy Ross house, he said, he believes, was 'se- lected" by group of persons from New York, who may have seen com mercial asset in establishing a birth place for the flag. Betsy Ross lived somewhere i'll Arch street, he said. and the New Workers picked the pres ent site as the one where she is sup posed to have lived.
 The authenticity of the William Penn house in Fairmeunt park is al- so doubted by Dr, Myers. The two story brick building, in which Penn is believed to have lived, stood in the colonial section Of Philadelphia and was removed to Fairmont park and preserved Dr. Myers said there were no brick buildings in Philadelphia when Penn lived here.

Report of Controller Curtis for Third Quarter Gre ates Optimism in Govern ment Circles.

There will be no extra tax laid next year to meet deficiency appropriat- ions. those following municipal f. nances closely predicted today when the report of Comptroller Hanford l.. Curtis on the condition of city finances at the close Of the third quarter of the fiscal year was an- nounced.
 If it is not found necessary to enter the next fiscal with a deficiency, 1t will be the first time in several years that such condition has occurred.
 The school department, whose de- ficiency last year was the largest in many years, will go through this year without any deficit, it is now believed. The street department is without funds other than what remains of a s10,0no transfer made several weeks ago. and further transfer may be nec- essary to carry through the year.
 The entire street appropriation of s15a.619.65 has been spent as has the water appropriation of siSs,14S.2e. Payments on principal have been made in the amount of s3i5,e0o. Spe-

has acquired.
 Naturally no decision of any sort was taken by the committee, and fl was evident that many such days were before it's members-days of ex- position and inquiry which will not take definite shape in the way of re- suits for a considerable period.
 The committee has given up the idea, at first entertained, of appoint ing sub committees, because various of the delegates wished to serve on 10th the committees suggested.
 Dr Schacht, head of the German Reicl1sbank, when he comes to Paris he will not be asked for any plans of his own for reestablishing the Ger man currency. The purpose of bring ing him before the committe it is ex- plained, is only for the information of the committeeman.
 He will be questioned as to the ex- act present position of German money in all it's aspects.
 This is part of the preparation of the members minds for constructive work later. They have agreed in con- versation that their real effort must come when they undertake 10 recon struct the German administrative mechanism. Their intention is to de- wise a plan which, when applied, will restore German money appreciably, result in the payment of the govern ment's expenses out of the revenue, and create a productive commercial organism which will yield sufficient amount for the German government B home requirements and leave a mar gin for tho payment of reparations.
 The time and amount of the repar- ation payments. it Is forecast, would he wholly contingent upon the way the proposals work when they are applied. The prevailing idea is first to create what looks like a practical plan. Then the results will prove whether the plan is good one 10 leave intact or if it must be modified in the light of experience. The feel ing is that any purely cut and dried scheme cannot be imposed upon Ger many with any precise knowledge in advance as to its productiveness.
