PARIS, June 24.

The German delegation which will sign the Peace Treaty will arrive at Versailles on Friday morning, the French Foreign Office has been informed. It is thought probable in French circles that the signing of the Treaty will take place at 2 o'clock Friday afternoon. The signing of the Peace Treaty with Germany will take place on Friday afternoon, it is indicated in Paris advices to day. There is some doubt about the date, however, because of lack of word from Germany regarding her new representation at Versailles. Dr.

Haniel Von Haimhausen, who was named as plenipotentiary to sign the Treaty, has telegraphed his resignation to Weimar. Wilson Will Stay For Signing President Wilson has ordered the transport George Washington to be held ready at Brest Tor his departure for home. He has agreed, it said, to remain in Paris until the Treaty has been signed. Final arrangements for the ceremony are being made at Versailles by Premier Clemenceau, president of the Peace Conference, who has announced his intention to resign the premiership as soon as the Treaty is ratified. To Investigate Sinking of Fleet the Austrian Treatv was resumed by the representatives of the great rowers in Paris to day and their intention has referred the question of the sinking of the German ships in Scapa Flow to a commission for determination as to whether the armistice conditions were violated by the Germans' act.

Italy Maintains Attitude Tommaso Tittoni, the new foreign minister of Italy, will be the leading Italian delegate at the Peace Conference, according to advices from Rome. It is said that declarations that he has made do not reflect any disposition to recede rom the position taken by former Premier Orlando and Foreign Minister Sonnino as to Italian claims on the eastern shore of the Adriatic. eimar, June 24. Haniel Von Haimhausen, who was in Sunday designated as the German representative to sign the Treaty of Peace has telegraphed his resignation from Versailes, rather than attach his name to the instrument. The German delegation to sign the peace treaty probably will be named to day.

Before the National Assembly voted yesterday to sign the peace terms unconditionally, fiery appeals in opposition were made by the Democrats and Conservatives, but they apparently had little effect. When the vote was called all but a few members rose to signify their affirmation of the government's decision to sign. Gloom on Assembly Once the vote was taken, gloom appeared to descend upon the assembly. The most vigorous opponents of signing were speechless and seemed to accept the inevitable with resignation. Many wild rumors of what would happen when it became known the assembly had voted almost unanimously to accept the terms gained currency.

One that appeared to get most support was thrit all the officers of the German Army would resign if the government did not refuse to surrender German leaders, especially Field Marshal von Hin denburg and General Ludendorff and defy the Allies to seize the former emperor. In military and semimilitary circles a strong insistence has developed that the former emperor is innocent and that under no circumstances must he be placed on trial except in a neutral court. In some quarters the threat of the officers to resign was taken most (Continued on Pape 15) GERMANS BURN FRENCH FLAGS By Associated Press. Paris, June 24. Word of the burning of certain French bat tleflags by the Germans has been received here.

Peace Conference opinion is apparently unanimous that this is a distinct violation of the Peace Treaty, Inasmuch as that document stipulated that the flags should be returned to France by Germany. A commission probably will be appointed to consider taking action in the matter. Presumably the foregoing refers to French battleflags taken by the Germans in the War of 1870 71. Article 245 of the Peace Treaty, in the original draft, stipulated that within six months after the Treaty should take effect Germany must restore to France the trophies, works of art, carried from France by the German authorities the Franco Prussian War, "particularly the French flags taken in the course of the war of 1870 71.

The Council GERMAN PREMIER BREATHES SPITE IN FINAL WORDS Bauer Says Hope of Teutons Is That Peace Pact Re coil on Authors By Associated Press.

Berlin, June 24. Addressing the German National Assembly at Weimar yesterday in reference to the unconditional signature of the Peace Treaty, Gustav Bauer, Premier, said, that a "defeated nation was being violated, body and soul, to the horror of the world." "Let us sign," he continued, "but it is our hope to the last breath that this last attempt against our honor may one day recoil against its authors." Dr. Bauer added that he assumed the National Assembly still authorized the signature of the Treaty, upon which there were protests from the Rightists. Points to Burden Konstantine Fehrenbach, the President of the Assembly, then spoke briefly, saying that he hoped the people would unitedly undertake the great burdens imposed and commending "the unhappy fatherland to a merciful God." The sitting was suspended for an hour, after whlh it was announced that the party leaders had agreed to issue a proclamation stating that "the nation expects the army and navy, whose honor is chiefly affected the Treaty, to give an example of self denial and self sacrifice and to co operate in the rebuilding of the fatherland." Dauphin Judges Are Praised in the House For Work in State Cases Senate amendments to the judges' I salary increase bill were concurred in by the House to day after a lively debate over the provisions which it was declared would add more than $200,000 to the cost of the bench in Pennsylvania. The vote was 130 to 57.

Dauphin judges were highly praised during the debate. Mr. Alexander said that the Dauphin judges had to handle the greatest issues in the State courts and that because of their experience and superiority very few cases are appealed. The Delaware member said the work they did was deserving of recognition and that judges of the State were entitled to better salaries. ST.

"We have waited forty nine years for this exclaimed Premier Clemenceau as he opened the fateful dispatch announcing that Germany would sign the Treaty at the meeting of the Council of Three yesterday afternoon. "For forty nine years," he continued, "the mailed fist of the reitre (German trooper) who has governed Germany has menaced the world. Whether the man's name was Bismarck or William II, it was still the same reitre of the middle ages, surrounded by soldiery and drunk with pride. "Be careful; keep your powder dry.

The Senate this morning put its mark of approval on 2 per cent beer, when it passed 29 to 19 the Ramsey House bill, permitting the manufacture and sale of that product. The passage of the bill was marked by a heated debate, led by Senator Snyder, Blair, the "dry" leader in the Senate, who bitterly condemned the measure. The bill now goes to the Governor, who expressed his disapproval of the measure in a letter to Senator Eyre, which was read on the floor of the Senate.

Paris, June 24. Long months of strain during the peace negotiations and weeks of doubt whether Germany would accept the conditions offered or would invite by her refusal of them a further invasion of her country ended late yesterday when a note announcing Germany's unconditional acceptance was delivered to the Supreme Council of the Conference.

London, June 24. Profound distrust of Germany is the predominant note in London press comments on the German government's decision to sign the Treaty of Peace. It is contended the Germans proved themselves treacherous throughout the war, the latest instance being the sinking of their fleet in Scapa Flow, and, therefore, it would be premature to celebrate peace until the Treaty is actually signed. Even afterwards, it is said, the Allies mus be continually on guard until the last penalty is paid. "All evidence shows that the revolution has not changed, the German misconception of national honor," says one commander.

Party MISS ALICE PAUL WATCH YOUR STEP IN DANCING THE LIGHT FANTASTIC The Shimmy and the "Moonlight" Trots Are Barred, Says His Honor RULES FOR DANCE HALLS Lights Must Always Be Burning Brightly, Mayor Keister Says The "moonlight" dance, the "light fantastic" and other "light" dances will truly be in the light in this city hereafter by reason of regulations issued by Mayor Keister, chief censor of dancing establishments in this city, in accordance with recent enactments of the State Legislature. All halls must be. fully lighted at all times during 'the progress of a dance, the Mayor has ruled.

The "shimmy" seems doomed to oblivion as far as Harrisburg is concerned, by reason of the Mayor's censorship. And some other of the more recent innovations may share a similar fate for the Mayor has ruled that "dancers shall not be permitted by the proprietors to indulge in any dancing that may be construed as being at all improper." The New Regulations Included among other regulations are those which follow: "Ball rooms, dance halls and dancing academies shall be open for inspection by authorized officials at any time during which dances are in progress. "No smoking shall be permitted in the hall in which dancing is being held. It shall be permitted only in rooms reserved especially for that purpose. "Boys and girls under sixteen years of age shall be denied admission to the hall.

"The issurance of pass out checks shall not be issued to go out of the building. "The dance hall and retiringrooms shall be kept in a thoroughly sanitary condition at all times. They shall be cleaned after each evening's "Emergency exits, including their entries and stairways, shall be fully lighted during the entire progress of a dance. "Stairways shall not be blocked by chairs or tables used for any purpose, in such a manner as to make difficulty agress from the building. "Dancing shall not be allowed after 1 a.

except by special permit, when it must not continue after 2 a. m. Saturday night dances shall end not later than 12 o'clock. "Complaints of any violations ot any of the regulations should be reported at once at the Mayor's of fice." 25 to 50 Dogs Killed Each Month by Police With authority to kill unlicensed dogs members of the Harrisburg po lice force have performed good ser vice, according to an unofficial re port to day.

Complaints of stray dogs In Harris risburp have been quite rare, since the police department has been empowered to kill off the large number of dogs that formerly wandered the streets. By an act of the last session of the Legislature, the dog catcher passed into oblivion as far as cities such as Harrisburg are concerned, and police department authorized to take over, the duties. $300 ,000 Worth of Jewels Stolen at Hotel Biltmore By Associated Press.

STATE IS SEVENTH IN U.S. TO RATIFY WOMAN SUFFRAGE House Accepts Senate Resolution While Women Cheer Victory After 50 Years of Strenuous Political Work PARADES AND LUNCHEONS TO CELEBRA TE HA RD WON VICTOR Pennsylvania has endorsed woman suffrage. The women of the Keystone State to day received with mixed emotions news that the General Assembly had accepted the proposed amendment to the Federal Constitution, the seventh State to endorse it. The Capitol was thronged with hundreds of women from all walks of life who came from every corner of the Commonwealth to see that no kinks got into the driving chains that have been urging the Legislature to action.

Victory has come to the women after nearly a half century of effort in Pennsylvania. Several times victory has almost been within the grasp of the workers only to slip through their fln gers. Memoriable fights were made in the Legislatures of 1913 and 1915 when, in the face of strong opposition, for many men had not then the liberal ideas they have now, a proposed amendment to the State constitution was adopted. The women lost the ratification of this amendment by a small majority at the polls, although close to 400, 000 votes were cast in its favor. Alive With Workers The city was alive very early today with women workers.

They thronged the Penn Harris lobbies, they jammed the gallery and aisles of the hall of the House of Representatives and cheered the efforts of their friends. While the climax that comes in a hard battle which has to be won by a last minute rally was lacking, still the women plainly showed their elation when the clerk of the House announced that the Senate resolution had passed finally. While they were united in prais ir. Governor Sproul and the Legislature for their work they were not as a unit in their celebration. The workers are divided into two camps.
