Amusement" After telling of the
damage done by the cheap theater

that the church heartily cooperate
in every legitimate enterprise to Sc

DR.. Williams said it is good to form

that the ultimate escape of General

The German censor has passed dis

that the aim of the Austro- G German

lead to Bulgaria and Turkey.
IN view OF the commencement OF

big VOTE OUT
AT EARLY HOUR
City Councilmanic Contest
Leads in Attention; Sew
eral Sharp Local Fights

With contests for many nomina-
tions a heavy primary vote is being
polled to-day, The big fight for places
on the councilmanic ticket in Har-
risburg overbalanced all other con-
siderations in many of the wards. al
though the party places for which
there were more than one aspirant
attracted no little attention. There
were several particularly brisk local
nghts in the lower end of town and
in the Twelfth ward, where parti-
cularly heavy votes had been polled
up to 2 o'clock. Indications are that
on account of the heavy vote and
the many candidates returns will be
very late. The Superior Court con-
test, the only one of Statewide I'M
portance, received almost mo atten-
ton in many districts. Out over the
county the farmers were voting un-
usually early and in large numbers
last nights rain having made out
side work we'll nigh impossible, in
many localities.
Many Questions Asked
Telephones tangled all morning in
the county commissioners offices and
the clerks answered a thousand and
one questions.
In few places due to misunder-
standings supplies didn't reach the
districts on the minute and panicky
election officers had to be Strengthened
out.
As a rule very heavy vote is
rarely polled before noon as the aver
age Harrisburger waits until his lunch
or dinner hour to exercise his in
alienable right. To-day was an ex-
ception. BY noon an unusually heavy
vote had been polled. In some pre-
cincts fifty per cent of the electors
had cast their ballots by IL O'Clock.
Some anxious inquiries went into
the commissioners office relative to
the residence of late registrations.
Many a luckless individual who
hustled to get his name on the regis
tration books by petition on the last
day, discovered too late, that he had
qualified from precinct in which he
didn't live-that he had moved his
place OF residence since he had been
assessed.

Joint Primary Election
in Massachusetts To-day
By Associated Press

Boston, Mass, Sept. 21. = Heavy
clouds presased rain, which was con-
sidered likely TO have considerable
effect on the size of the vote in the
Joint primaries in this state to-day.
II was thought, however, that the in

paigns of candidates for Republican
and Democratic nominations would
bring larger number, of voters than
were able to participate only to the
extent of nominating a candidate for

signatures to nomination papers for
other offices.

to-day, the names of candidates of all

should be thrown out.

Cancer Deaths Increase

Philadelphia, Pa, Sept. II. -
Figures computed by the Cancer
Commission of the Medical Society
of Pennsylvania, and submitted at
the opening session here to-day OF
the siNty-tifth annual convention
of that body, show that the death
rate from cancer in Pennsylvania
is steadily increasing out of all
proportions with the increase in
population, and that immediate
action by health officials and the
medical profession is imperative.
Since 1906. the report of the
commission shows the deathrate
has increased 23 q per cent. Last
year the number of deaths from
cancerous growths totaled 5.197,
according to the report, and the
prediction is made that this year
the number will reach 5000.
