were turned down. Most of them
were made on the grounds of agri-
culture. The board concluded its ses-
sion late yesterday afternoon and ad-
8 o'clock when 1t will meet again
and be prepared to sit until late FRI
day.
Sending Out Notices
To-day the clerks at the House
caucus rooms were busily engaged
in sending out the reports of the ses-
sion of the board. They sent out no
tices to all whose claims were allow
ed and also to those whose claims
were turned down. Clerk Robert
Free is certifying all the names OF
those men who refused to claim ex-
emption when examined by the local
boards and these naes will be re-
turned to their respective boards in
sufficient time to warrant the sending
away of the required quota on Oc-
tober 8.
An interesting claim, which shows
the present condition of help in the
financial district of upper Dauphin
county, was filed yesterday by the en-
tire directorate of the Williams
Valley bank for Louis c. Burlington,
of Elizabethville.
Mr. Burlington is assistant cashier
in the First National bank at Eliza
bethville. and is at present helping
at the Williamstown bank. The Will
Jamestown bank was forced to ask
help on account of the depletion OF
it's forces by the war. The first as
sistant cashier, Vincent /. Smith, is
yoeman in the United States Navy,
and is stationed at Newport, r. l.,
and Harry d. Edwards, the second
assistant is a first lieutenant in
Company G. Fourth Regiment, Ma
tienal Guards, and as a result the
working force of the bank is in bod
shape. Mr.. Buffington's services were
asked and he had just become ac-
he was called by the draft This
claim will be acted on at the meet
ing of the board tomorrow.
More Appeals to Wilson

ers of the loca ldistrict board and

ed with much interest especially by
the farmers of Dauphin county and
vicinity.

animation to-day and of this num-
ber only thirty eight showed up.

Hire a "Wife"
At Steelton to-day the board will
finish acting on all the claims that
have been made to the poaro py all
those examined and expect to secure
a sufficient number to send away on
October 8. In acting on the claims
the board found many interesting
things. Principally. was the method
of some of the colored claimants of
Steelton. These men by paying a
small sum of money secured
negress to sign their affidavits so that
they light claim a dependent wife.
The boar discovered these tricks
and when the men were brought be-
fore them, they acknowledged that
they thought 1t was alright and their
explanation wa saccepted although
their claims were denied.
