Sneering Reference to
Republican Candidate
Arouses Twelfth Warders

Nonpartisanship in municipal cam
paignS has become more or less of
a joke. Only the other evening an
alleged nonpartisan meeting was at
tended by Democrats exclusively and
II is a matter of frequent comment
that the Democratic machine in Har-
risburg and it's newspaper mouth
piece is constantly urging Demo-
cratic candidates as ideal nonparti-
san selections for the people. Ma
turally Republicans are resenting
this palpable partisan game, espe-
cially in the Twelfth ward, where
there is little contest between two
candidates. Democrat and a Re-
publican-for the short term in City
Council caused by the resignation Of
Samuel f. Dunkle. The Democrat
mer city chairman, and the Repub-
lican is John Marks, railroad ma
chinist, who is making a lively cam
paign. The commissioner selected
for the short term will have a part
in the important work of preparing
the annual budget.
A slight reference in the morning
organ of the Democratic boss to Mr..
Marks has made his friends so in
dignant that they have now taken
off their coats and rolled up their
sleeves in his support. They de-
clare that he has been for thirty
two years in the railroad service,
that he has been a foreman, that one
of his priced possessions is an ap-
prentice agreement when he began
his work at the old Foundry and
Machine Works on Allison's Hill un-
der NJ. f. Hershey and that sneering
comment upon his occupation as a
work distributor" will increase his
supporters.

the splendid success attending the
distribution OF the book. Nearly

some word or expression with which
the average reader is unfamiliar.
The meaning of such terms can
readily be had by turning to The
New Universities Dictionary as well
as that of many expressions which
have come into more common usage

become one vast battle-ground and
the high seas turned into a danger

contending powers.
In all there are twenty-five of
these supplementary dictionaries

KINGS BODY Is
EXHUMED AFTER
TWO CENTURIES
Autopsy Performed on Great
Warrior to Settle His
torical Point
By Associated Press

Stockholm, Sept. 13.-An autopsy
on King Charles MI. Sweden's
warrior king killed in battle almost
two hundred years ago, to determine
whether the shot through the tenn
pies, which caused his death, came
from the enemy's lines or from an
assassin among his own men, has
just been made here in an effort to
solve one of the mysteries of history.
If the bullet entered the right tenn
pie 1t would indicate that it came
from Fredrikshald fortress before
which the kings forces lay eRtrench-
ed, while a shot from the opposite
direction would show that IT was
fired by traitor in his own ranks.
The scientists who are conducting
the investigation have not yet an
nounced their conclusions and Will
not until they have made an effort
to fit together the pieces of bone
taken from the wound, but the indi-
cations are that the bullet entered
the right temple and came therefore
from the enemy. The wound on the
right side is comparatively small as
If made by an entering shot, while
the left temple was blown entirely
away and the left side of the skull
shattered as would be caused by the
missile as it emerged.
Laurel Wreath Intact
The kings body was examined i'll
the old Knights Church where it lay
in a simple coffin. 1t was covered
with linen shroud with the arms at
the side, the fingers meeting across
the waist, the hands encased in fad
ed yellow gloves. On the head was
laurel wreath placed there in Janu-
ary, 1719, the day he was buried.
Those who viewed the dead king
tenance still bearing through all the
years the look of leader of men.
Wound Examined
The wound, covered by patches of
linen, was found to consist of cleft
in the skull beginning at the left
corner of the left eye and extend
ing at angle of about 40 degrees up
ward to the right for about three
inches. A triangular piece of bone
loosened by the bullet, was still held
in place by the skin. 1t was marked
by a deep depression.
According to contemporary ac-
counts of the kings death, he entered
the trenches the evening of Decem-
Der IL, 171S, and went to a point op-
posite where the Danes had a bat
terry. With him were the engineer
who had planned the trenches and
Siquier. the kings d-de-camp. AS
Charles lay on the parapet of the
trench his hea dand shoulders expos
ed, an enemy cannon fired a load of
grapeshot and the king fell dead.
No question that grapeshot was
the cause of his death ever arose un-
til a year later when Siquier. while in
a delirium of fever, said that he had
murdered the king. When he recov-
cred he was Mortified at his rawlings
and denied until his death that he
had killed the king. He died in pow
erty. Noltaire, who Investigated the
affair, reached the conclusion that tho
fatal shot could not have been fred
by Siquier. The murder theory, how
ever, once started, has persisted
down to the present time.

DETERMINED TO
BREAK UP AUTO
LAW NFRACTIONS
Police Department Apt to
Surprise Offenders With
Arrests and Heavy Fines

Chief of Police Wetzei and the
other officers of the department are
determined to break up the constant
violations of the ordinance regulating
the operation OF automobiles. trucks
and motorcycles in Harrisburg. So
strong has become the public sentI-
ment against the constant infraction
of this regulation that the police de-
partment feels II has the backing of
the community. AS many as ten and
fifteen arrests have been made in a
single day recently and stiff fines and
reprimands are gradually having a
tendency to reduce the number of
offenses.
Chief Wetzel and his officers are
going to insist more and more upon
observance of the rules for vehicular
traffic in the city and some rank Of
tenders are likely to be surprised one
of these days with something more
than the usual reprimand and fine.
Also several speed fiends who are
known generally throughout Harris
burg are going to be painfully sur
prised one of these days unless they
get wise to what is in store for them.
CutOut Nuisance
The most serious complaints are
the result of the cutout nuisance.
Many of these offenders are motor
cyclists and it is understood a list of
names is being prepared so that there
may be general raid upon this class
of noisemakers presently.
Since the motorization of the fire
department there is also complaint
that returning from fires there is en-
tirely too much speeding and abso-
lutely no excuse for the use of the
cutouts on the big machines. 1t. is
contended by citizens generally that
the fire companies should set an ex-
ample in this respect inasmuch as
they represent directly the authority
of the municipality.

Much Fuel Wasted

The coal supply can be conserved
by more economical methods of firing.
by Sitting ashes. by watching the fur
mace door and by heating only the
ports of the house in use. To do this
is a public duty. II the householders
of the country save one ton out of
twelve. they will save ten million
tons of coal. The bureau of mines
states that many plants waste as
much as fifty per cent of the coal
they buy through unscientifc firing
and inadequate equipment.
The solution of the coal problem
lies largely with the American peo-
pie. The Government cannot save
coal for them; they must save it for
themselves. They must not rely
wholly upon price-fixing. nor upon
the already -overtaXed transportation
systems of the country. nor upon the
effort to increase shipment. nor upon
the apportionment of coal, nor upon
the enforcement of the law. All must
cooperate. The consumer of coal in
every house and factory can co.
operate most effectively by the econ
omies suggested

KEEP HOMES COOL
AND SAVE COAL,
NEW HOOVER PLAN
Asks Housekepers to Reduce
Temperatures at Least
Five Per Cent.
BY Associated Press

Washington. Sept. 13.-Through the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States, DR.. H. A. Garfield. fuel ad-
ministrator. has appealed to Ameri-
can business to assist in the conser-
walton of coal. DIR. Garfields appeal
appears to-day in the ofncial publica-
tion of the chamber as follows:
TT is the duty of every American
to save coal this winter. II every
family will save a ton of coal il
every industrial plant will save ten
per cent of the coal IL uses. which
ten per cent. it now wastes. the coal
problem will be largely solved. There
is plenty of coal in the ground but
there is a shortage of cars and of
labor at the mines.
IF every family will reduce the
temperature OF its house at least five
degrees, it will mean that millions
of tons of coal will be saved and the
health of. the nation will be improved.
This is not hardship; II is a health
measure, for most Americans live in
superheated houses.

AT YOUR DAT CROP

One Sumter county farmer who
has been marVelously successful in
his work advises the Times. Recorder
to warn the farmers against blowing
up their oats under the belief that
they were killed by the recent cold
weather.
This farmer states that on first I'M
vestigation he thought his oats were
dead, but that after the sun came
out for several days there was a no.
ticeable difference, which later
developed that at least 80 per cent.
of his planting had survived. The
farmer says that a so per cent. oat
crop from the original stand will net
almost as much as an oat crop plant.
ted at this time, as it would not be
as mature and strong.
This hint is given the farmers of
this section, so they can investigate
and determine the-best course. The
farmer who advises the Times-Re-
corder says that so per cent. cree
on the original planting is better than
the chances on a crop which is yet
to be planted, with the strong pos
sibility Of it being hupied in its
growth. Times Recorder.
