NEW BEETLE IS
MENACING STATE
State Authorities Are Warn
ing Farmers and Others
Against Destructive Pest

Pennsylvania's ornamental and
fruit trees and shrubs are again
threatened by the invasion of new
imported and very destructive beetle
which has made it's appearance in
large numbers in New Jersey. The
beetles were brought to this country
from Japan in the soil about the
roots of Japanese iris purchased by
a New Jersey nursery, and Federal
and State authorities are now en-
gagged in the study of possibilities for
it's control and determination. An
area of about four square miles is
now infected
The beetle is somewhat similar in
habits to the common rose bug" or
beetle, but is larger with a coppery
green color and a row of white spots
along the side of the body. 1t de-
stroys the leaves and flowers of many
kind of ornamental and fruit trees
and shrubs. doing great damage to
roses. Besides being a strong flier
and a heavy feeder in the beetle
stage, 1t lives as grub on the roots
of grasses and other plants much

Two Boys Held on
Charge of Stealing

George Rice, aged Is, and Howard
Beck, aged IL, were held for juvenile
court Saturday afternoon when a
hearing was given before Alderman
Lands.
The Rice boy claimed that he was
not guilty of stealing from Clark s
drug store. He found the door open,
according to his story in court. and
was making an investigation When
found. His father and sister were in
court. An attorney represented the
family.
The Beck boy q lonesome little fig
ure, was all alone in court. He con-
fessed to having taken a box of
chewing gum from the Clark store,
but was sorry, because, he said, the
contents of the box was mouldy.
Both boys were held in the sum of
5000. The father of the Beck boy
came. for him following the trial and
took the little fellow home.

town, received his commission and
is now second lieutenant in the quar-
termaster's corp of the National
Army at Camp Meade; Stanley Liv-
ingstone, of Hummelstown, after
having been refused admission to
Fort Niagara, enlisted in Company
C, of the Eighth Regiment of Cham
bersburg, and is now sergeant in the
same company at Camp Hancock,
and w. B. Hoover, of Penbrook, is
first lieutenant at Camp Meade.
Rounding Them Up
The list sent. out by the Steelton
board is already in the hands of
the Steelton police and the rounding
up of the "slackers' began Satur-
day. This board recently published
another list of "slackers" which re-
suited in many of the men being
rounded up by the police.
Going to Clean Up
The board is having its troubles
outside of the "slackers." According
to information received at the
Steelton headquarters this morning
there is an employe of a grocery
store in Highspire who has the eX-
emption board of District / on his
list of enemies. This man has, ac-
cording to reports, been making very
many obnoxious remarks concerning
the personnel of the exemption
board. He says If the board does a
thing that he does not like he will
come himself personally and call to
account the gentleman that does 1T.
The cause of the remarks of this
resident Of Highspire, is a relative
who has been drafted. If the young
man is pronounced physically fit and
obliged to go to war the man from
Highspire intends to ST art things He
is, according ~ to reports, strong
pacifist, and will under no conditions
allow his relative to go to Camp
Meade. 1t is possible that the eX-
emption board will have the man ar
rested and brought before the courts
for attempting to interfere with the
working of the draft laws in the
First District.
Tonight the. Steelton board will
act upon exemption claims and will
endeavor to "clean up" the large
amount of work that has accumu-
lated since the second call was made.
1t is expected that it will act upon
all the exemption claims of the last
five hundred that were examined.
The PaXtang board to-day resumed
examination of the first fifty that
were called with the three hundred
summoned last week. examinations
will continue during the week at the
rate of fifty per day.
Appeal Board Meeting
The district appeal board resumed
session this morning in the House
caucus rooms at the Capitol, and
durins the day acted upon exemption
claims and appeals from the local
boards. 1t is the ambition of the dis
trict board to certify enough names
back to all the boards in this dis
trict in order to secure sufficient
men for the departure of the second
quota.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
EXEMPTION BOARD ERROR
o The Editor of the Telegraph:

To the Editor of the Telegraph:
The local exemption boards of this
district by the publication of their
Stacker List" in your columns on
Saturday evening committed an in
justice to two, at least. of the men
whose names appeared therein.
The very first name on the list was
that of Norman ]. Hellf, of Hummels-
town, who attended the training camp
at Fort Niagara, received his COM
mission and is now second lieutenant
in the Quartermasters' Corps of the
National Army, located now at Camp
Meade, Maryland.
The second name on the list was
that of Stanley M Livingston, for
merly employed at the Camp Curtin
Trust Company, and who lived at the
gardeners lodge at the Pennsylvania
State Insane Asylum. Mr.. Livingston
made application to the camp at Fort
Niagara and failing to be admitted,
Immediately after graduation from
the Wharton School enlisted in Com
pany c of the Eighth Infantry, at
Chambersburg, and has since been
promoted to sergeant in the same
company.
1t seems that the local boards could
have prevented an injustice to these
men and others on the same list had
tney taken q little trouble TO do so.
In the case of Mr.. Hellf when called
for examination, the board must have
been informed of his then where.
abouts for the papers stated at that
time he did not appear for the rea-
son that he was at the Fort Niagara
Camp. while as regards Mr.. Living
stcn, had they called on the Adjutant
General they could have found the
name. rank and date of enlistment of
every man in the National Guard at
that date.
trust that the Telegraph will cor
rect the impression that these and
certain others on the list as pub
lished are "slackers."

Economic Zoologist ]. G. Sanders
