MANY FOREIGN
BORN REGISTER
Registrars Have Little Diff
Guilty in Getting Information
From These Residents

Indications that Steelton with 40
per cent. of it's population foreign
born will have 100 per cent. regis
tration roll were reported by regis
trars in practically every district.
Long before noon many of the
men between the ages of 81 and 81
years, inclusive, appeared before the
registrars and answred the questions
which the government requires. In
the First precinct of the First ward
$50 had been registered oy noon.
Interpreters who volunteered their
services were a big help in the en-
rollment of the foreign population.
Many of the Southern negroes who
have bene brought here to work in
the local mills also claimed Steelton
as their residence and registered in
tn proper precincts.
Department Heads Help
In order that there would not be
rush at the registration places at
noon or after the works close this
evening, employees of the steel works
were dismissed individually by de-
partment superintendents during the
day.
At first it was believed by regis
trars that much difficulty would be
experienced in registering the for
eigners, but up until noon the volun-
teer interpreters were not kept very
busy, as nearly all were able to
read and write well enough to regis
ter. Ledaers of many or the foreign
organizations and societies instructed
their men how to register.
About fifty members of the Croa-
tian Sokol will march to the Half
Way House to register In the First
precinct of the First ward this even
ing. About 90 per cent. of this or
ganization, which is one of the
strongest foreign societies in the bor-
ough, is of registration age.
In compliance with the request of
President T. ]. Nelley, of council,
acting in the absence of Burgess
Wigfield, all bars and many pool
room and other public places were
closed to-day. There was no dis
order and the town took on the
appearance of a holiday.

the expense of being called out for
disturbances and at the same time
engaged in valuable patrol work, es-
pecially in rural districts. 1t seems
that very few States have taken the
pains to get ready for the time when
the Guardsmen are in federal serV-
ice and Pennsylvania will soon have
n Reserve Militia, created by act of
assembly to take the place of the
Guard for the war and also to sup
plement the State police or the Home
Defense and Protection organizations
when called upon.
New York State authorities have
obtained complete data about the
State police and inquiries have been
made lately by Ohio, Iowa, Kansas
and Maine as to the cost of the force
and the place they fill. Letters have
also come from other States as to the
Reserve Militia idea.
The bill to create the three regi-
ments of Reserve Militia and a
squadron of cavalry will soon be in
the Governors hands. The organiza
tions will be located where there are
armory facilities.
Receipts Fall Off-The State rev.
enue from automobile licenses dur
ing May was S234,09S or S16,294 less

However, the receipts for the four
previous months were away ahead.

Beitler, field secretary of the Defense

on. State Commissioner of Health,
has asked the city of Williamsport
to provide plans for treatment of all
municipal sewage emptying into the
Susquehanna and other streams and

New Tax Law Outlook-The Penn
sylvania direct inheritance tax bill,
which it is hoped will supply at least
S5,000.000 a year additional revenue
to the State and go a long way to-
ward the meeting of the increase in
appropriations. will be on final pas
sage stage when the State Senate
meets tomorrow night, and if passed
will so to the House for concurrence
Under the provisions of the law il
would become operative al once. 1t
has been drawn after consideration OF
the collateral Inheritance tax law and
study of the direct laws in other
states and with reference to the diff

more money for the State.
