CHIEF SEXES CLASS COLORS
Confscates Three Balloons Steelton Ju-
niore Planned to Release

Steelton S chief of police was called
on last night to prevent the Juniors
from carrying out deep-laid plot to
float their colors above those of the
Seniors during the annual commence
ment exercises held in the Steelton
High School auditorium.
The colors of the Seniors were sus-
pended near the top of the stage. A
party of Juniors purchased three in,
fiated toy gas balloons, each about nine
inches in diameter, which were tied in
a cluster. To this cluster the colors
of the Juniors were attached, the whole
package being covered with white It's
sue paper to make it look like bou-
quet of flowers.
This package was given to a young
man, not Junior, to smuggle into the
High School building, which was sue
cessfully accomplished short time aft
er the program started.
The Seniors got wind of the plot,
however, and Chief ofPolice Longnaker
was instructed by Professor Charles S.
Davis to make search for the bal
looms. AS a result the gas bags were
confscated by Longnaker about one
minute before the time it was planned
to release them.

east as favorable to Germany with the
exception of the retreat from the San

The character of the lighting in
France and Belgium has not changed
materially. To-day's reports show that
severe engagements are in progress on
the western portion of the line but
aside from local successes the attempts
of each side is to dislodge the other
from established line of battle are prov
ing OF as little effect as has been the
case for months past.
Reports to London by way of The
Hague say Germanys answer to the
American note will be delivered to-
morrow. asking the United States
whether ammunition for the allies was
on board the Lusitania.
Italian troops are pushing steadily
into Austria, along the line running
north of the Gulf of Triest. Apparently
the Austrians have as yet offered no
serious resistance, although further
west there has been severe fighting. An
official statement from Rome announced
the occupation of the Austrian town of
Grade, and states that squadron of
Italian aeroplanes successfully attacked
the Triest-Nabresina railroad, probably
cutting the line. Additional territory
along the Tyrol frontier has been oc-
cupied.
Occupation of Urumiah, Northwest
ern Persia, by Russian forces is an
nounced by the Caucasian army staff.
Capture of the city was effected after
battles near Dilman and Bachkala.

Governor BARS CALLERS
while WORKING ON bills
Goes Into 'Seclusion While Studying
Measures Submitted by the Legisla-
ture-Believed Most of the Appro-
priations Will Stand

Action on bills now in the Gov
ernor S hands will not be announced be-
fore next week, the Governor now being
very busily engaged with them. These
include the workmen S compensation
series and the full crew repeater. The
workmen S bin will probably be ap.
proved, but the fate of the full crew
repeater is unknown as the Governor
has not indicated in any way what he
proposes to do with it. The fact that
he will have no hearings on appropria
tion bills will greatly facilitate the
work of disposing of them.
On Wednesday next Governor Brum-
baugh, Attorney General Brown and
Chairmen Woodward and Buckman. of
the House and Senate Appropriations
Committees. respectively, will take up
all of the four hundred appropriation
bills now in the Governor hands and
they will be disposed of rapidly.
The appropriations for the session
carry between $66,000,000 and $67.-
100000. and all of the bills were gone
over so carefully in committee, with
the Governor s knowledge, that it is
thought there will be very few, if any,
lteHlS Neloeu. ne UONerHuT was kept
informed on almost every appropriation
bill by Chairman Woodward and al
ready knows almost exactly what each
one carries, so that it will be matter
of but short time for him to dispose
of them. He has, however, requested
the presence of the two chairmen in
the event that there should be any bill
carrying vague provision, in which
case he would ask that it be explained
fully.
Chairman Woodward was here to-day
but left for Barnegat Bay to spend the
weekend There he will tabulate the
appropriation figures. Governor Brum-
baugh is so taken up with other bills
that he is practically inaccessible, and
will not come "out of seclusion' until
he has all of the bills off his hands.
