HOPE TO PROVIDE DISEASE HOSPIT'L NEAR ALMSHOUSE The County Commissioners spent considerable time this morning making- plans for work next Summer, and about levying a tax rate which will provide enough funds to make improvements. None of the Commissioners, however, would predict what the tax rate will be. It must be levied before February 15. The Commissioners did say, however, that the hope to provide a sanitary or municipal contagious disease hospital at the Almshouse this year.

They asked Walter G. Kochel, the Almshouse steward, to gather them sdme tlata about tha building facilities near the poor house. It is proposed to erect a concrete building along plans which will permit erecting additions whenever needed. One plan is to place the building back of the Almshouse, but close enough that heat and food could be supplied from the county home. The Commissioners also touched a bit on the new Courthouse question this morning.

Some city officials volunteered the opinion that Court street, from Market to Walnut, should be widened. That would necessitate cutting down the width of the Courthouse and also the jail yard, The Commissioners have said that they intend to widen the street along the Courthouse and this morning they said they agree to cuj: four feet off the jail yard and give it to the side for street and sidewalk purposes "provided the city pays the cost of moving the jail wall." The discussion was entirely informal and did not get ny further. The City and County Commissioners will get together on Wednesday to discuss the plans for rebuldtng the Courthouse.

McCarrell Gives Jones 4 to 8 Years Revoking Previous 16-Year Term Not less than four and not more than eight years at separate and solitary confinement and hard labor in the Eastern Penitentiary was tha sentence Judge McCarrell imposed this afternoon on Wesley ones, the young desperado who committed so many thefts In tha city during the late Fall and early Winter.

In so doing the Judge revoked a previous sentence of from sixteen to twenty-four yeara which sentence tha Court said waa defective because the law does not provide a pen term for toting- a loaded pistol. Jones was sentenced in six felonious entry and robbery oases and a pistol- toting charge was left hanging oyer hia head to await bis discharge from the penitentiary.

Powtiower, 414 Harris street. A Forster street resident stated that the heat supply was not only inadequate yesterday, but all of the past week, and that complaint to the company brought various excuses which did very little good. With the present low temperature prevailing, it is heat and not excuses-that will keep the public warm end comfortable, he said. Grand Jury's Suggestion Amuses County Officers Changing the nam of the Dauphin County Almshouse to County Home or County House, aa suggested In the report of the January Grand Jury, seemed to amuse gome county officials who discussed the matter at the Courthouse this morning. The County Commissioners unofficially exreased the thought that tbe name cannot be changed except by a special act of assembly.

The existing lawa adopt tha appellation, they said of County Toor House. In the ofllce of the Director.yof the Poor, who are the official custodians of the Almshouse, it waa said that tha nam is neither "County Home," "County House" nor "County Foor House." The Poor Board's official seal styles It the "House of Employment," and the seal also says, "Incorporated March 28, 1808." J. William Baylea, th directors' chief clerk, made light of that this morning and then laughingly said, but that won't stop persons from calling it "Almshouse or Poor House."

"The size of this annual agricultural exposition is entirely limited to the size of the halls available and the housing facilities offered by the city," the secretary said. "The show this year is twice as large as It was last year, and it could be made twice as large again next year with the necessary exhibition buildings and housing facilities. "National organizations have been after us to hold our annual farm shows in connection with national exposition. Harrisburg is the logical location for this annual exposition, but it will require the earnest efforts and backing of all the city's business men to keep: the show hare, for Pitts-urgh, in particular, with its enormous buildings and great hotel facilities, is endeavoring to secure the show for 1920." Secretary Rasmussen spoke of the national importance of agriculture. "The agriculture of a country is the basis of the economic life and no country in the history of the world has been prosperous without a prosperous agriculture," he said.

The secretary then shows how food and clothing, the two fundamentals of life, and the basis of all industry, are directly dependent upon agriculture, and how, agriculture must be classed as one of the leading industries. He pointed out that the steel industry, the railroads and all the great industries are basically dependent upon the two essentials food and clothing and therefore, dependent upon agriculture for their very exist-anee. FRIGID IN COURT, BUSINESS STOPS When Judffes Kunkel and McCar-rell went on the bench for the opening of court this morning the thermometer near the bench registered fifty-six degrees. They remained standing during the formal opening by the court crior and doubtless observed that most all the men in the. room, lawyers, jurors, witnesses and litigants were wearing overcoats.

As the Judges took their seats each looked at the other. A lawyer presented a brief petition. A second attorney offered a motion and a third was about to offer a petition when the Judges again looked at one another. Judge Kunkel then turned to the court crier. "Adjourn the court until this afternoon at 2 o'clock," he commanded.

Then the Judges left the bench and went back to chambers where it was several degrees warmer than the courtroom. The breakdown at the Bteam heat plant last night was blamed for the cold courtroom. The Courthouse heating plant was put into operation this morning and by mid-afternoon the building began to warm up. REDS THREATEN LIFE OF PALMER From Fope One dynamiting hia house, the bureau as signed one of Its most skillful operatives to guard the attorney general. This man now-ps everywhere with no matter how short the distance.

On trips 'which take Palmer out of Washington other operatives are as signed to the gQard when necessary- Meanwhile still other agents' of the investigation bureau are continually engaged in hunting down the-senders of the threatening letter which now overflow a large tile in the investigation bureau. I 1IUT9) Are Uimtgned "These letters have been sent from practically every big city in the country." said Scott. "Occasionally a. name i signed, presumably a false one, but most of the letters are without signature. One, received from a writer who aigned a woman name, read in part: 'Our brother gladly gave his life in a worthy oawise.

He failed. Yoa must be removed. You'll hear from us This was a reference to the dyna miter who blew himself to bibs laxt Summer while trying to assassinate Palmer In his home. Another letter, aent more receutiy from Halttmore, read: "Our mutual position is pretr clear. What nan been done by so far is only a warning that theap are friends of popular liberties still living, only now we are getting into the tight and you will have a chance to see what liberty loving people can do." Threats Are Nnmeroua Ietter decorated with bla-ck hand and red ink intended to represent blood are obviously from cranks and get little serious attention from th Justice officials unless they are very nnusual.
