New York. Sept. 13. The local
cfflces of the Fabre Line received no
word during the morning hours to-day
regarding their steamer SAINT Anna,
bound from New York for Italian
ports with more than 500 Italian re-
servists and large cargo of food
stuffs. which had been reported on fire
about $50 miles southeast from Hall
fax, \. S., in a wireless message re-
ceived at the latter point late last
night.
d. H. f. Jones, of the firm of James
w. Elwell & Co.. local agents of the
Fabre Line, said lie was at loss to
understand why Captain Francois
Pavey, of The SAINT Anna, had not
notified the Office here if his ship We're
actually on fire or in distress in any
way.
The message received at Halifax
stated the SAINT Anna was on fire, in
distress and needed assistance. Her
position was given as latitude 1929
north, longitude 1870 west. This is
approximately $50 miles southeast of
Halifax, and, as the SAINT Annals radio
equipment was not powerful, it was
thought the message had been relayed
by steamer much nearer Halifax
than the position given for the SAINT
Anna.
The SAINT Anna sailed from New
York on September for Naples,
Genoa and Marseilles with II first
class, "A second class and 1,70S steer
age passengers. With few exceptions
all of the steerage passengers were
italian reservists who had come to
New York from all parts of the United
States.

Plans to Enlarge Plant

South Bethlehem, Pa, Sept. 10

fact that the Bethlehem Steel Com

stories to its No. 2 machine shop,
which is now the largest in the coun-
try.
The steel company now has a con-
tract to furnish about 500 guns of var
rs calibre for the English and
0.000, 600 high explosive and shrapnel
shells. This week it received an order
for 100000 shells for the Russian

In every precinct in Harrisburg the
Republicans showed an enormous gain
and consequently there was a relative
falling off in both the Democratic and
the Washington parties. The latter
figure indicated more plainly than any
voice how the back to the part"
movement is gaining-has gained-in
impetus From registrars returns
most everybody of the Washington
crowd wants to go back to the Repub-
lican fold.
That Saturday the last of the three
registration days was to be heavy
one was indicated early Saturday.
The city voter who waited until late
in the evening to register had weary
time of it responding to telephone
calls.
If the registration is indicative at
all of what is bound to happen in No
vember, Harrisburg as we'll as Dau-
pllin county is due for another Splen-
did Republican victory all along the
line. If 55S more Republicans had
registered the total Republican enroll
ment in Harrisburg would have been
exactly three times the Democratic
vote. And the nonpartisan enrolment
more than offsets this; there were
! 607 who declined to state their affili-
atlons. That indicates pretty clearly
low 1ar the hepuDllCdnS ouJnuIlpeT
the Democrats.
All of the books from the city regis
trars were turned in by o'clock and
the County Commissioners clerks went
busily to work to compute the totals
in order that the exact number of bal
lots and specimen tickets might be
ascertained The commissioners sat
specially to-day to pay off the regis
trars. The city registration cost the
county in the neighborhood of $4,000
alone for registrars services. Each
one got $40. and there are 110.
What is true of the city registration
is true is a lesser degree perhaps in
the county. The enrolment in the
districts outside the city shows a total
of 1858. OF this number S,376 are
Republicans, 1908 are Democrats, S43
Washington, 323 Socialists. II Prohi-
bition, four Keystoners and two are
Independents. Just 1854 declined to
express a party affiliation.
Dauphin county can boast all told
in city and county of a total enroll
ment of 1871 Republicans. Then
too, there are 6.331 Democrats, 465
Socialists, 125 Prohibitionists, Key
stoners.
