are taking precautions against a
stampede.
So that there may be no snap judg-
ment in the convention, no sudden
stampede as a result of the shouting
and flag waving of professional cheer
ing squads the Republican leaders in
the various States are taking pains to
havo elected as delegates only men of
the highest type, men who will realize
their responsibility to the Nation and
refuse to be swept off their feet in
the excitement of a moment.
Delegates High Glass Men
The prediction was made by mem
bers of the Senate who have taken
part in recent conferences of the sup
porters of various candidates that the
Republican National Convention to be
held in Chicago early in June would
be made up of men who would weigh
the qualifications of the candidates
and refuse to be stampeded.
1t is admitted that no precaution
can be taken against a deadlock 1t
Is conceded further by the supporters
of the various candidates that none
of those in the field will have sufficient
delegates to insure nomination on the
first ballot. According to one of the
members OF the Senate the following
program is being followed by Colonel
Roosevelt:
Efforts to elect delegates pledged
to Colonel Roosevelt are being dis
couraged. He would prefer not to
have any fight made in his behalf at
the present time"
Justice Hughes, ii was stated upon
his authority. will make the race for
the Presidency if the Republican con-
vention should issue a unanimous call
for his services. He is understood to
20 1,n L. l.,
full duty In refusing to permit the use
of his name as a candidate; in re-
fusing to raise a finger to aid those
who are working for his nomination; :;
in making II plain that he is not am
bilious for the nomination, and would
prefer to stay on the Supreme Court
bench. But il the convention should
nominate him, the nomination coming
to him without the slightest effort on
his part, but in the nature of a call
from the public. his friends now be-
lieve it to be absolutely certain that
he will run.
The knowledge that Justice Hughes
would not refuse a unanimous call has
reached Colonel Roosevelt, and the
latter is now quietly working to dis
courage tne further use Of Hughes as
stalking horse for the Roosevelt
movement. Previously some of the
Roosevelt men were agitating the
Hughes movement in the belief that
Hughes delegates would turn to Roose-
welt when they became convinced that
the Supreme Court justice could not
be drafted.
Many of the other candidates be-
! lieve that In case there is a deadlock
in the convention it will be a choice
between Roosevelt and Hughes. They
are now dividing territory with a view
to controlling the convention against
both Hughes and Roosevelt and
swinging it to one of their own num-
! Der after the first few ballots. There
is renewed talk of dark horses" but
among themselves the members OF
the Senate who are themselves candi-
dates for the Presidency admit that
unless they can bring about the nomi-
nation of one OF their own number,
either Roosevelt or Hughes will carry
off the prize.

An Easy Way to
Increase Weight
Good Advice For Thin Folks

The trouble with most thin folks who
wish TO gain weight is that they insist
on drugging their stomach or stuffing
it with greasy foods; rubbing on use
less flesh creams" or following some
foolish physical culture stunt while the
real cause of thnness goes untouched.
You cannot get fat until your digestive
tract assimilates the food you cat.
There is a preparation known TO re-
which seemingly embodies the missing
elements needed by the digestive or
gans to help them convert food into
rich, fat-laden blood This modern
treatment is called Sargol and mas been
termed the greatest of flesh builders.
Sargol aims through regenera tiOn, re-
construction powers to coax the stom-
ach and intestines TO literally soak up
the fattening elements OF your food and
pass them into the blood, where they
are carried to the starved, broHen-down
cells and tissues of your body. You can
readily picture what result this amaz-
ing transformation should produce as
with increased weight the cheeks I'LL
out, hollows about neck shoulders and
bust disappear and from 10 to 20 pounds
body. Sargol is absolutely harmless in
expensive, efficient. q. \. Gorgas and
other leading druggists of this vicinity
have il and will refund your money
IL you are not satisfied, per the
guarantee found in every package.
NOTE:-Surgol is recommended only
as a flesh builder and while excellent
results IN cases of nervous Indigestion
etc, have been reported care should be
taken about using it unless a gain OF
weight is desired.

public property, and while Mr.. Gross
smilingly declined to discuss the pos
sibilities of Gipple's retention perma-
nently as the head of the forestry
bureau, 1t is understood that his ap-
pointment permanently is only mat
ter of time.
Gipple is a local High School boy
and a graduate of Pennsylvania State
College. His experience covers sew
eral years of practical forestry work
and he is considered one of the best
men in this line of work in this sec
ton of the State. His appointment
becomes effective Immediately.
Shreiner Re-appointed
Council also confirmed unanim ously
Park Commissioner Gross reappoint-
ment of George A. Shreiner as a
member of the City Planning Com
mission for a term of five years. This
becomes effective April Is.
Aside from acting on the appoint
ments of Gipple and Shreiner, the
only other important matter before
Council to-day was Mayor Ezra S.
Meals first quarterly report of the
conduct of the police department.
The report included a summary of the
work that has been done by the police
department, including the traffic bu-
reau and the bureau of detectives,
during the last three months, a de-
tailed table of the fines and forfeitures
and a simple but complete statement
of the work that has been done.
The recommendation of Commis-
sioner w. II. Lynch to award the
contract for a new two-ton REQ truck
to the Harrisburg Automobile Com
pany at its bid of S2,225 was ap-
proved.
New Ordinances
New ordinances introduced included
the following:
BY Mr.. Bowman: Placing water
pipes in Market street, Twenty-first to
eastern city line; in Twenty second

were deserted. The local militia COM
pany, which had been called out to
aid the police, then returned to the
armory. No arrests were made. Sew
eral persons were injured by flying
missiles but no one was seriously
injured.
Objected to Sectarian Talk
The cause of the riot was the OBJ
lection of many residents to the grant
ing by the city government of a per-
NIT to Thomas A. Leyden of Somer-
willie, to deliver an address in the City
Hall on sectarian questions, particu-
larly regarding State appropriations
for sectarian schools.
An immense crowd formed about
the building and became so threaten
ing that the meeting was abandoned.
The crowds then began throwing
stones at windows in the City Hall
while portions of the mob went to
other parts of the city and attacked
the residences of persons who had as
sisted in arranging for Leyden's ad-
dress.
The local militia company, sum-
moned by Mayor Bartlett, surrounded
the City Hall, cleared nearby streets
and kept the mob at bay The crowd
then gradually dispersed.

36l Arrests and $4O7
in Fines, Costs, ETC., Is
Police Departments Work

Just 361 arrests, $407.70 in police
and aldermen's court fines and costs,
forfeitures, and sS16.79 for court dis
charge cases, a total of S724.49 rep
resents the results of the activities of
Mayor Ezra S. Meals police depart
ment during the first quarter of 1916,
according to the mayors first quar-
terly report to City Council to-day.
Quarterly reports, as Mayor Meals
announced sometime ago. will be
made regularly and the city commits
sioners to-day highly commended the
statement which gave them for the
first time a complete official account
ing of the police departments work.
The creation of a bureau of de-
tectives," says Chief of Police Zeil,
with a superintendent as the head
of this department has been a for
ward movement in the interest of eff
cheney. The placing of this bureau
under separate direction not only has
increased the efficiency of this branch
of the service but has left the chief
of police free TO devote his entire time
to general police work. which is in
creasing rapidly" Chief Zeil refers to
the excellent results that have been
obtained by the establishment of the
traffic squad under Captain Joseph P.
Thompson.
The tabulation of arrests, etc,
shows that 90 were made in January,
1873 in February and 13S in March:
800 wagon and 437 ambulance calls
were made. For the quarter the police
court fines, costs and forfeitures
totaled SS01.15 and from the alder
men s106.55. January court cases
and discharges netted S316.79 all of
which was turned into the city treas
ury. superintendent Windsor's re-
port goes into detail as to the disposi-
tion of the cases handled by the de-
tectiye bureau.
