Killed Two Does, Charge
Against Mt. Alto Man

One of the most dastardly viola
tions of the game laws in Pennsylva-
mia yet noted by the Pennsylvania
State Game Commission, was unearthed
Saturday, according to two State game
protectors Charles &. Baum, of this
city, and w. c. Bowman of Lemoyne,
who arrested b. +. Carbaugh, a farm
er residing near Mt. Alto. Carbaugh
was taken before Justice of the Peace
Small at Mt. Alto and held under 5000
bail for a hearing next Saturday.
The charges brought against Car
baught included the killing of deer
out of season, killing two does and
having Venison in possession illegally.
Baum was notified the latter part of
last week that two dead does had been
found on Carbaugh's property and
that the hind quarters had been re-
moved. The protector began an in
Nestigation and when he went to Car
baugh's house he detected the odor
of cooking Venison. He accused Car
baugh and then the man admitted
that he killed a doe. A search of the
house was made and then smoked
meat from the second doe was discov-
cred. One of the does would have
given birth to a fawn within a few
days and the other would have had
two offsprings. The farmer who found

Bought by Harry Hess

Ownership of the Swab building.
Thirteenth and Market streets, one of
the big store room and office buildings
of the Hill, changed hands Saturday
afternoon when Harry Hess bought
the structure from the Allison Hill
Trust company. The consideration
was not made public, but Mr.. Hess ad-
mitted that his present building at
1854 Market street in which he now
conducts a cigar store and pool room,
and two smaller properties in the rear
in Thomas street, were included in the
deal
While the Swab building is well
known as a business center, it is lust
as widely known by hundreds of
younger folks for the famous dance
hall that is located on the top floor
Mr.. Hess says he hasn't decided what
disposition will be made OF the top
floor. The cigar store will be moved
into the corner store room now oc-
cupied by E. f. Deichler. Mr.. Deich-
Ter expects 10 retire from business
The Columbia Electric company will
move to 1858 Market street, and Will
liam d. Bartolet will remove from
1858 to the location now occupied by
Mr.. Hess. The Hill post office and ].
G. Schaeffer. who conducts q coffee
and tea store. will remain in the Swab

Gone is "Minnie-Ha-Ha'', gone is the
one-year-old shot" more familiarly
known as small pig, gone are the
pianos and organs and automobiles
and carriages and kittens, gone is the
fine $40 overcoat which the owner
never intended should be sold; gone, in
short, are all the thousands of bar
gains. the mere transfer of which with
out middleman expense netted a clean
Tour thousand dollars for the Harris
burg Hospital at the big three-day
rummage sale which closed Saturday
night at 10 o'clock.
The money has been turned over,
together with whatever may accrue
from the disposition of odds and ends
that were not .auctioned off at the
roundup Saturday night, to the Wom-
ans Aid Society of the hospital which
buys all the household materials and
accessories and pays the salary of the
directress of nurses.
At o'clock sharp on the last even
ing the auctioning sale began, and con-
tinued steadily for two hours, while
the busy criers used up their willing
lungs in long-sustained persuasiveness.
Little "Rummage," the live pig which
had been all "dolled up" for the occa-
sion, was quickly sold for $19, while
the little bronze Indian maiden in her
canoe brought $3S. The total amount
received for the day was about 81, 900,
which just equaled the previous days
sales.
Sale Most Successful
Without question the "rummage
sale" was the most successfully man
aged and profitable of the kind that
harrisburg has ever seen. The hearty
cooperation of all who were able to
cooperate gave powerful momentum
to the three day campaign which will
considerably tighten the burden of the
hospital The support of merchants,
businessmen and private citizens was
unstinted and like mantle the spirit
of giving spread over every operation
in connection with the sale. TO the
many ladies and girls who spent them
selves in their untiring efforts to make
big sales in the interest of the hos
pital must go the credit of carrying
out successfully and we'll a task to
which they were unaccustomed, while
the executive committee, acting in the
capacity of commanders-in-c chief,
reached the pinnacle of efficiency and
dispatch in the course of the sale.
Their appreciation, above printed, of
the kindly assistance of the public, as
classified, gives the clearest indication
of the universality with which the pur-
pose and performance of the rummage
activities appeal to Harrisburgers.

BRUMBAUGH WILL
FILE HIS PAPERS
Capitol Expects the Governor
TO Throw Hat Into Ring
Tomorrow

The nominating petitions for the
delegates-at-large and their alter
nates-at-large in the interest of Gov
ernor Brumbaugh will be filed to-
morrow according to Attorney General
Brown, who said that a few of the pa
pers were yet to come In. Mr.. Brown
declined to take seriously the sug-
gestion that Mayor Thomas p. Smith
of Philadelphia, would not run for
delegate.
The Governors own nominating
petition is due tonight or tomorrow
in spite of rumors that his name will
not go in. The Henry Ford petitions
have not appeared up to date
Considerable interest has been
aroused by the presence of so many
men more or less in sympathy with
the Roosevelt movement on the Brum-
baugh papers. This is being freely
commented upon and while admins
tration officials say that talk of the
Governor not running and declaring for
Roosevelt is not well founded, there
are many who profess to see some un-
derground connection.
The Philadelphia Inquirer to-day
prints the following dispatch from
Pittsburgh: Party harmony but not
through Governor Brumbaugh, is in
sight in Pittsburgh and Allegheny
county as a result of Sunday confer
ences here to clean up final details on
delegates to the Republican national
convention in June in Chicago. The
outlook is that there will be national

Brumbaugh people. These four are

trict; Alexander p. Moore. in the
Thirty-frst. and Myles Bryan and John
A. Bell, in the Thirty Reports
continued to-day that Frank J. Lana
han, Editor Moore's running mate in
the Thirty-flrst, may retire, which
would leave eX-Mayor William A.
Magee, leader of the Governors forces
here, unopposed. Magee is pledged to
Brumbaugh. II Magee should win. he
would be the one delegate out of eight
elected from this county pledged to
Brumbaugh. Seven of this county's
eight delegates to the national conven-
tion will be uninstructed. Either f. p.
Dougless, George Films running mate
in the Thirtieth district. or r. ]. Black,
pledged to Brumbaugh, may withdraw,
eliminating fight there. Republican
leaders. seeking harmony and united
party in November, are leaving no
stone unturned TO eliminate friction.
1t is agreed the Allegheny county dele
cation will vote at Chicago for a Penn
sylvanian. but this will be Knox in
stead of Brumbaugh. and, IL the Penn
sylvanian is eliminated. then for a man

Cinder For Track
Four carloads of cinder were re-
ceiVed Saturday for use on the cinder
track on the island Fairgrounds. This
will be used to construct the "cross-
over" Just north OF the Cumberland
Valley bridge so as to convert the track
| from a quarter to a sixth of a mile
distance; the high water has left the
ground soggy, however, which pre-
vents early work on this job. The de-
posits and silt and mud have caused
some trouble.
Wild flowers are already blooming
in Wildwood and thousands of people
tramped through that section yester-
day. The blood-root is especially at
tractive-so attractive in fact that the
park officials to-day issued a word of
warning against the indiscriminate
pulling of the flowers by the roots.
The paths and the road to the breast
of the dam are in excellent condition.
The road beyond the dam will be
opened for traffic again as soon as
the new culvert over the gully beyond
Spring creek is completed. Work was
begun on this job to-day.
In Wildwood
If Wildwood and the Cameron
parkway were pretty with flowers yes
terday the River Front went these
recreation places just one better-the
embankments were masses of yellow
bloom, the Spring greeting of the
golden glow.
Work on the Cameron parkway and
fha RI ft,a t1,a
east is progressing rapidly and with
fair weather, the highway should be
finished within few weeks. The plans
for the subway under the Philadel-
phia and Reading tracks are still in
the hands of the company's engineers
for approval but bids will be asked for
this work as soon as the drawings are
returned. The park department has
planned to build a limestone and con-
crete bridge across Spring creek near
the springhouse in PaXtang.

Harrisburg Railways Company will
make the necessary grade changes in
North Second street incident to the
paving of the section from Emerald
