ERIE'S MAYOR QUITE CONFIDENT Declares That Neither He Nor Stauffer Will Lose Their Offices This Year Harrisfourg, March 2. "If the people of Erie' thought they could get rid of me by crawling In under the flaps of the second class city tent they were mistaken," said Mayor Mile3 B. Kitta, of Erie, today, when told that lie presentative Whitehouse, of Schuylkill county, had introduced a I ill which will prevent both Reading rnd Erie from leaving the classification of cities of the third class. The Whitehouse bill provides that cities of the second class shall comprise those with a population ranging from 125,000 to 1,000,000. The present law makes the minimum 100,000.

SOME DONT LIKE HIM. "I don't care much about that bill," ald Kltts, "because I'll still he the mayor if Erie becomes a second class Lity. Furthermore, Stauffer will remain mayor of Reading if that city ets into the second class. There are some people over there who want to get rid of Stauffer, they tell me. lUifthey cant no, matter what class he city la.

If Erie I became a second class city the con oil would go overboard, but not Mayor Miles Kitts. ONLY WAY TO LOSE THEM. "Same with Reading. The Reading councllmcn vould eay 'adios!" to their' Jobs, but not Mayor Stauffer. The only way they can get rid of us is to enact more legislation, declaring that when a third class city goes into second class tityship the office of mayor becomes vacant.

And they won't do that." The bill Changing the classification of second class cities, as to, population, was not unexpected, but it had been looked for from an Erie member of the house. Instead is was given by some or.c to 'Whitehouse, of Schuylkill county. WHY GPROUL DELAYS. Agitation on the part of Reading people to get action on the issuance of a charter to that city when it passed the 100,000 now required of cities of the second class was. unavailing.

Many delegations came to see Governor Rproul, and the' execu tive was in receipt of a bale of letters. But he delayed action because, close friends said, he was not certain what the legislature would do "It may be that the minimum for second clafis cities will be changed before the close of the session," was the statement of a friend of the gov ernor three weeks ago. that event it would be untimely for the governor to take action at this period." NO DOUBT AS TO READING. Erie's claim to second class, classi fication was disputed in Harrisburg, but Reading actually had the re quired population. The annexations wiTetoy Erie passed the 100,000 mark were made after the announcement of the census totals from Washington.

The Whitehouse bill, it is said, is to be rushed through the house and senate. Word from Reading today was that advocates of a new classification for the city would demand a hearing of the house committee on municipal corporations, 60 that they might present reasons why the hill should be unfavorably reported. Erie will have advocates for and against the change. THEY FEEL CONFIDENT. Mayor Kitts, however, isn't really interested; and he says Mayor Stauffer isn't, either.

"Third class or second class," said Kltts. "It's all the same to me. I'll still be the mayor." NEW FASHIONS AT K. E. OPENING The big Kline.

WW, RECEIVES 616 LEGACY $80,000 Goes to an Allentown Institution by Will of David Kuehn Allentown, March 2. The Good Shepherd Home, a local institution. organized some years ago for' the care of old people and crippled and orphan children, will receive the bulk of the estate of the late David Kuehn, a retired truck farmer of this city, who died nearly two years He feft cash and property amounting to more than $75,000, and most of this will go, upon the death of Hhe widow, who is now 86 years of age to the home. The chances are that the bequests will be largely increas ed by reason of the gain in the value of the real estate' which is in the growing section of the city.

i He had many peculiarities, which cropped out in. a marked degree in the disposition of his valuable estate. In the original will he bequeathed $1,000 each to the foreign mission board, home mission board, church extension board and the Tressler Orphans' Home of the General Synod of the Lutheran church; $3,000 to the Lutheran Orphans' Home, at Topton, and $500 to the Lutheran Theologlal Seminary, at Gettysburg, leaving the remainder to relatives and friends upon the death of. the widow, REVOKED OTHER. BEQUESTS.

In a series of five codicils, the first executed within six months of the date of the original will and the others following in close order, he, however, revoked all the charitable bequests, and either ellnilnated en. tlrely or reduced those to the individual legatees, directing that all these go to the Good Shepherd Home after the death of his wife. "In his report, Auditor Kistler naively remarked that the testator changed the list of his beneficiaries so often that little or nothing was left of the original will upon which to base distribution of the funds in the hands of Franklin T. L. Keiter and William H.

Wieder, the executors of the estate. ONLY A FEW OTHERS. When, however, the auditor had completed his task of straightening out the tangle, he found that Kuehn had made available upon his death only a few absolute bequests, which included $3,600 to his wife and $300 to two cemetery associations, the widow to have the income for life. Immediately upon her death, $200 is payable' each to Emma and Clayton' Mohr and Edwin H. Wieder; 60 cents each to Jonas' I.

Smith and neighbors, and $1,000 each to Dr. L. C. Ashcraft and Miss Minnie Lenker, both of Philadelphia, 'respectively his attending physician, and In this distribution the Good Shepherd Home is also to receive $12,400, representing bequests formerly given to other charities and individuals, but later revoked. In another schedule Auditor Kist ler distributes various sums ranging from $500 to $2,600 and aggregating more' than $21,000, bequeathed to fourteen relatives and friends of Kuehn, but only as life estates, the principal to go to the Good Shepherd Home as rapidly as the legatees die off.

The residuary estate is also to go to the same institution and it is predicted that by the time the home has received all that is due it, the aggregate amount will total more than $80,000. NO CONTEST OF WILL. Although the many changes made in the original text of the will have caused much speculation among friends of the various benevolences, no contest will be made, although the reasons for the many changes of mind on the, part of Kuehn will remain a mystery. brown, gives this suit a decidedly Par lsien style.
