The Port OF Missing Men.

Scarcely a week passes without
news being conveyed to the world that
some man or woman has dropped out
of sight. They are recorded among
the missing and are rarely heard of
afterward. Sometimes it is because
they desire to sever all ties and to
seek new pastures. In such cases the
man or woman merely slips out of the
old life and into the new, and no one
can find a trace of them.

CAMPAIGN OPENS
AT MARYSVILLE
Republican Club Holds Rous-
ing Get-Together Meeting to
Outline Work in County

Marysville, Pa, Sept. 2.-Last even
ing the Marysville Republican Club
held rousing get-together meeting in
its club rooms in the f1atiron building.
Republican politicians, both district
and county, out-of-town and local
members swelled the size of the meet
ing.
The keynote of all the talks was op-
timism of a sweeping Republican vic
tory at the polls in November. Plans
were made to have all Republicans of
Marysville assessed and properly regis
tered in time to vote this Fall. The
local club is the leading Republican
organization in Perry county, and as
such is planning to have this cam
paign conducted throughout the entire
county, besides attending to it's i'm
mediate district.
Senator ]. Franklin Martin, of West
Fairview, candidate for reelection in
the Cumberland-Perry, Juniata- -Mifflin
district, addressed the club. He briefly
outlined his reasons for his objection
to the hunters license bill and some
bills, now in operation or planned, to
regulate fishing. Other out-of-town

STATE SURVEY OF
RIVERS URGED
Water Supply Commission
Issues Reasons For the
Complete Study

The State Water Supply Commits
sion in a statement issued to-day on
the policy which should be adopted by
the commonwealth of PENNSYLVANIA
for control of its streams urges that
there be made a general survey of the
river systems of the State and that Sc
rious study be given to framing of
supply and supervise the construction
and operation of works for that pur-
pose. 1t is likewise recommended
that the topographic survey of the
State, which is about one third COM
pleted, be finished in conjunction with
the United States government and be
used as a basis for engineering prob
lens.
1t is estimated that to cover the en-
tire State in q survey of water sys-
TENS, developing possibilities for flood
control, water supply. and water pow
er on each river system in Pennsyl-
Vania, would be done in less than five
years and at cost of $500, 600. 1t is
pointed out in the statement that in
some regions, notably on the Beaver
river, industries have been forced to
move because of limited water supply
and that in other regions repeated
floods have restricted growth of indus
tries and towns when experience in
other States and in Europe has shown
that the water can be conserved and
floods controlled.
An adequate policy for the con-
troll and regulation of the waters of
the State can not be formulated, ex-
cept insofar as present and probably
existing conditions are known and un-
derstood," says the report. The con-
ditions which are necessary for the
development of such a policy are:
First, a thorough knowledge of the
streams of the State, so that the prob
lens of control may be known; sec
ond. general plans for solving those
problems and third, an orderly legal
code, which will make practicable the
execution of plans when developed and
will insure control and supervision
over constructions affecting the river
systems"

Lebanon, Pa, Sept. 2. - Judge
Henry. of the Lebanon county court.
yesterday made a supplemental order
in the suit of DR.. Guido Hinkel, of
Freiburg, Germany, to break the will
of his mother, the late Rosalie Parant
Coleman, of Paris. She disinherited
him on account of the war. in which
he elected to serve the kaiser. This
order was made by Judge Henry be-
cause the German government does
not permit the taking of testimony be-
fore foreign consular officials in Ger
many.
The original order, to have DR.. Hin
kels aged father, Prince Guido Henc-
kel Won Donnersmark, of Berlin, testi-
fy before the American consul general
there as tothe identity of the contest
ant, DR.. Hinkel, is changed to conform
to the German governments ruling,
and Prince Donnersmark is to testify
in the German court. Control of a

suit.
