IRREGULAR CHANGES
LIMITED IN SCOPE
Steamship Issues Show Continuance of Pressure Steel
and Prominent Coppers Slightly Lower; Rails Dull
But In the Main Higher

New York, July "a (Wall Street, -
The irregular changes recorded at the
opening of to-day's market were linn
tied to fractions in important stocks,
the steamship issues showing a con-
tinuation of yesterdays pressure.
United States Steel and prominent
coppers were slightly lower. but oils
improved on the better trade pros
poets. Such specialties as Mailing
preferred. Linseed, American Tobac-
co and Industrial Alcohol rose 1 to
pointS, and Cuban American Sugar
gained 8. Rails were dull but mainly
higher for Pacifics and coalers.
Steamship shares yielded l to
points and some of the motors a
point before buying of steels and
other industrials caused a general
readjustment of prices. The Har-
vester issues gained from to Az
points, Bethlehem Steel a point and
United States Steel rebounded from
l21A to 1872 Is. Cuban-American
Sugar increased it's gain to IN
points and rails threw off their early
sluggishness, transcontinentals and
grangers showing average advances
of a point. Metals were hesitant,
but minor specialties, including fer
tilizers, disclaimers and Enamel
ing. were strong. Steadiness ruled in
the bond list, the Liberty issue SELL
ing at 99.45 to 99.4S.

City Officials to Confer
With Riverside Committee
on Proposed Annexation

Commissioner Gross to-day was
authorized by City Council to ar
range for a conference in the near
future between city officials and res
idents of Riverside to further the
plans preliminary to annexing Riv-
erside to Harrisburg. The princ'-
pal question which is delaying the
annexation plans is whether or not
the city shall pay $4,000 or $4,000
for a private sewer in Riverside.
Other less vital questions involve
the city's taking over the Riverside
school and the water system in
Riverside. The Commissioners have
hopes, they said, that these matters
can be arranged to facilitate the an
nexation before next winter.

DRIVE TO PUT.
CITY IN LEAD
Captain Harrell Starting Cam
paign to Aid Postmasters
Get Recruits


Captain Harrell this morning
started an active campaign to place
Harrisburg first in the list of cities
for the number OF recruits secured
by postmasters. In list issued yes
terday by the War Department, At
lanta, Ga, held first place. "Will
you help to put Harrisburg first?' is
the introduction of a circular letter
that is being sent to every postmas-
ter in the Harrisburg district.
Since Captain Harrell has taken
charge of the local station he has
never missed an opportunity, no
matter how small, to secure recruits.
Postmasters in small towns difficult
OF access to men in the uniform of a
regular, have proved to be a great
aid in the securing or recruits. AL
though men in Uniform are used for
recruiting whenever possible, post
masters have been able to do better
| service than other men not in uni
form. This morning c. w. Ruben
dall, postmaster at Millersburg, and
j. K. Hancock, postmaster at Will
Jamestown, brought a squad of re-
cruits to the station and report many
more expected enlistments before
the names of the eligibles are posted
at their respective towns.
Captain Harrell is having dupli-
cate copies made of a letter sent by
Blairsville recruit from Columbus,
Ohio, where he was sent from the
local station. The young man tells
how his preconceiyed ideas of mill
tary life were changed after he be-
came accustomed to the routine of
the work. Instead of the iron-ha
snobs he had believed army officers
to be he found them not only officers
but gentlemen in every sense of the
word. The hard and fast rules that
he had feared, he discovered to be
nothing more than obedience to only
those whose judgment could not
be questioned.
Want Infantry Men
Men at the office have been busy
during the last few weeks persuad-
ing others to enlist in the infantry of
their physique meet the requirements
for fighting men. While vacancies
exist in the ambulance and medical
corps, men are shown the advan-
tages of being a foot soldier. Men
who stand in constant danger when
in active service yet at the same time
are the men who take "a fighting

STATE BOARD CAN
NOT ALTER DRAFT
QUOTAS, SWEENEY
Registration Official Replies
to Query About District
AllotmentS

THE State Registration Board has
no authority to change any of the
district quotas without explicit direc-
tions from Washington to do So" was
Colonel Sweeney's reply to a query as
to whether or not Congressman Co.'S
tello's request would be granted for
a reduction of the quota of his dis
trict.
Congressman Costello came to Har-
risburg from Philadelphia yesterday
with the assertion that his district
had responded more generously TO
the call for volunteers than surround
ing districts but that the others were
reaping advantages therefrom by rea-
son of the fact that the enlistment
credits were applied to the city as a
whole, instead of to the individual
districts in the parceling out of dis
trict quotas. He asked that his dis
trict be given full credit for the num-
Der of its enlistments. which would
have reduced to some degree the
draft quota required of 1t.
Explains AIIotmens
"Washingtons Interpretation of the
law" said Colonel Sweeney. is that
the district quotas shall be reckoned
on the basis of credits in counties
and in cities over 10000 population.
If one ward in a city or one borough
or township in a county has sent
more men to the military service than
another the fact is unknown to us.
Washington gave us the credits by
counties and cities and then instruct
ed to reckon district quotas on that
basis in proportion to registration,
1V,1 h hnx haN n
voice in the Interpretation of the law
as to credits. That is solely up TO
Washington and any change in cred
its must be ordered by Washington.
The State Registration Boards do not
interpret the law. Their duty is to
administer it as ordered by WASH
ington."
Both the district boards of Cumber-
land county will meet at Carlisle to
examine those selected for the Ma
tional army. The members of the
boards are: District No. 1-Dr. Har-
vey Basehore, West Fairview; Jacob

Denies Stacker Report
Harvey T. Smith. deputy United
States marshal denied to-day the re-
port that Franklin county has 1000
slackers. men of draft age who failed
TO register. The report was issued
after the registration lists were COM
pared with the county's military roll,
Mr.. Smith said, and while there are
1000 more names on the county roll
than on the registration schedule, he
said the deficiency is due to deaths.
Implications, antique methods of talk
ing the county enrolment and enroll
ment of men without the age limit.
Investigations have been made, he
said, showing that there are not more
than one hundred suspected slackers
in the county. Those have not been
verified, as were the other 1900 anc
they too may be found to be errone-

lect with six per cent. interests, debts
estimated at 120,000,000 crowns.
Failure to pay is stated to be pen
allied by sale of property at ridicu-
lous auction figures which allows
the invaders to make immensely
profitable purchases of large stocks
of goods. In addition many shops
nave been pillaged and trade has
fallen off at least one-half.
By such arbitrary measures to-
ward our merchants and by means
OF this legalized pillage, the military
authorities have attempted to ruin
our trade" the note says. Austrian
and German firms will take the
places of the ruined Serbians and
will so bring about the denationali-
zation of Serbian commerce"
Plumber Buildings
All private houses abandoned by
their owners, including the royal
palaces, are stated to have been
plundered under theory that thev
were "unowned property" because
the owner was absent. The national
and the ethnographical museums are
reported to have been completely
ransacked by the Austrians; the ma
tional library, the university library
of Nish, and the library of the school
OF theology at Prizzen by the Bull
garians. Books, manuscripts, and
art works were stated to have been
carried away as booty.
The Bulgarians," it is stated
have plundered to such an extent
and with such effrontery as to be
unexampled in modern warfare"
