WEED OUT MEN
AT FIT. NIAGARA
Twenty-Five Student Officers
Dropped in Week; Others
Are to Go

Fort Niagara, n. Y, June IL
During the past week twenty-five
student officers were dismissed from
the camp for one cause or another.
The majority of these were let out
because of physical disability. The
confidential board has done nothing
as yet regarding the dismissal of the
mentally incompetents. 1t is likely
that these men will be selected dur
ing the coming week so that when
the student officers start on their sec
ond course, on June Is, there will be
no further deletions.
The surgeons were able to make
but few examinations this week. To-
day more than a hundred were ex-
amined, and it is said several of these
were found physically unfit and will
be recommended for dismissal. The
total number of men released since
camp opened is now fifty-two.
Colonel Samuel Miller, the post
commandant, has received orders
from the War Department directing
that on June Is his camp shall COM
prise ten companies, nine companies
of infantry and one troop of cavalary.
The cavalry, the order stated, shall
continue training as infantrymen.
The members of the troop will not be
supplied with mounts. The troop of
cavalry will be broken up, the men,
bers joining either the infantry or
artillery companies.

to prosecute the war.
John S. Musser, team captain, re-
ported that he had sold $2.25O in bonds
since the close of the campaign, and
Frank c. Sites, postmaster, also a
team captain, told of the patriotic ef-
forts of two foreign-born members of
his team, Edward Moesline and Peter
Magaro. and their success in selling
bonds in the foreign quarters. The
post office force. he said. had come
forward nobly, 1875 out of the force of
$50 having subscribed.
V. w. Kenny told of two extremes
encountered in rounds, the first a man
who, before war was declared, had
been condemning the President for not
getting into it and telling everybody
how anxious he was to take off his
coat and fight" and who refused to
buy a bond to help support the Presi-
dent now the country is in. The other
was an old colored woman who volun-
tarily subscribed 500, agreeing to pay
81 a week for a year. I'm 'goin to
another washing" she said. "and
that's how I'm going to get money to
pay my debt to the union"
MIR. LecOq Reports
Mr.. .Becoq, in charge of the bond
salesmen. was highly complimented by
President Buchanan for his part in
helping Edison J. Hockenbury stage
the campaign, particularly in the sur
rounding towns. where the bond sales
men did such splendid work. Mr..
Lecoq was Mr.. Hockenbury' right
hand man.
Mr. LeCoq reported that Dauphin

sylvania that has oversubscribed it's
allotment up to this time and that in
the New York district the only city
that has more than it's allotment sub
scribed is Rye, and Harrisburg has
done better than it. Mr.. Lecoq paid
a high compliment to the ability and
energy of the bond statesmen, and said
their work was illustrated by the fact
that little Millersburg alone has sub
scribed 100000.
Mr.. Stackpole interrupted to remark
that E. Hoyt Weston. one of Mr.
Lecoq's lieutenants in the campaign,
had just been appointed captain in
the quartermaster's department of the
officers reserve corps of the United
States army, which announcement was
received with cheers.
Mr.. Lecoq thanked the Rotarians
for their part in the name of Edison j.
Hockenbury. a member of the club,
who, after arranging the campaign
here, was summoned to Milwaukee, to
put on a big Red Cross campaign
along similar lines.
In tabulating the returns of the
Liberty Loan subscriptions at the
Board of Trade meeting on Saturday
an error was made in the report of
the executive committee, which
should have been $101,S5 instead of
S101,7S0, which made the grand to-
tai s3,605,1 100 instead of $3,605,030.
In the report of the Central Iron
and Steel Company and the Harris
burg Pipe and Pipe Bending Com
pany, the subscriptions were revers-
ed as printed. The Central with 1900
employees has taken 100000 of the
bonds and the Pipe Bending force
with 2,16S men, has taken S125,000.
1t is stated that the grand total will
exceed S4,000,000.

BIG CALENDARS
FOR LEGISLATURE
Recess Will Be Taken July IL
Until Later in Summer,
1t Is Rumored

Both branches of the Legislature
face calendars ranking among the
heaviest of the session for the meet
ings tonight when it is hoped that
some agreement in regard to the
closing up of the general assembly
can be reached. The latest report in
regard to the close is that recess
will betaken about July IL until later
in the summer.
Plans were being made to-day to
fight out the legislation relative to
the three classes of cities. The Phil
adelphia small council bill will be on
second reading tomorrow, the nom
partisan repeater for second class
cities is on the Senate calendar to be
taken up any time and the third
class city non-partisan repeater is to
be reported out by the Senate COM
mittee in charge this week.
The bill suspending the full crew
law during the war stands No. III
on a third reading list of about 200
bills.
The probabilities are that the hos
pital appropriation bills will get to
the Governor about June 81. The di-
rect inheritance tax bill will be sent
to the Governor tonight. He has
eleven bills on his desk now and the
big list passed last week remains TO
be signed by the presiding officers.
The Capitol park bills will prob
ably get to the Governor about
June 20.

ANY recommendations"
The young man produced a hand
full of ITO Whom 1t May Concern"
letters. They were all on business let
terheads. and were apparently genu-
inc, though none of them We're local.
Smith ran them over hastily and he
had no means of knowing that they
had been carefully prepared by
Crawford Stanton at no little cost
in ingenuity and painstaking. How
careful the preparation had been was
revealed in the applicants ready
suggestion.
You can write or wire to any of
these gentlemen" he said; only, if
there is a job open. I'd be glad to
go to work on trial"
The business training of the pres
ent makes for quick decisions. Smith
snapped a rubber band around the
letters and shot them into a pigeon
hole of his desk.

what you can do he told the man
out of work. IF you measure up to
the requirements, the job will be per-

had known that Shaw had been wait

Footprints Give Mother
Her Own Little Baby

Baltimore, June 1.-THE footprint
system of identifying babies used at
the Maryland General Hospital, has
cleared up a case of mistaken iden-
tity that for time kept the police
guessing. Three months ago a wom-
an from North Carolina gave birth to
an infant, the footprints of the child
were taken and placed on file in the
maternity department. Several weeks
later the mother returned to North
Carolina leaving her baby with
friends.
Coincident with the woman's de-
parture an abandoned baby was
found in the vestibule of a house
here. The founding was taken to
the hospital and soon afer the moth
er of the baby born in the maternity
department returned and in some
manner the founding was turned
over to her. She said it was not hers
and at once footprints taken of her
baby were produced and in short or
der her own infant was found and
returned to her.

CHAPTER XIII.


1t was late dinner-time when
Smith closed the big roll-top desk
in the new private suite in the Kin
zie building offices and went across
the street to the hotel. The great
dining room of the Hophra House
was on the ground floor. The room
was well filled, but the head waiter
shelter of one of the pillars and
brought him an evening paper,
Smith gave his dinner order and
began to glance through the paper.
The subdued chatter and clamor of
the big room dinned pleasantly in
his ears. Half absently he realized
that the head waiter was seating
some one at the place opposite his
own; then the faint odor of violets,
instantly reminiscent, came to his
nostrils. He knew instinctively, and
before he could put the newspaper
aside, what had happened. Hence the
shock, when he found himself face
to face with Verda Richlander, was
not so completely paralyzing as it
might have been. She was looking
across at him with a lazy smile in
the glorious brown eyes, and the
surprise was quite evidently no sur
prise for her.
81 told the water to bring me over
here" she explained; and then. quite
pleasantly: 1T is an exceedingly lit
tie world. isn't it, Montague?"
He nodded gloomily.
Much too little for man to hide
in" he agreed adding: But 1 think
/ have known that, all along; known,
at least, that it would be only a ques-
tion of time"
After the waiter had taken Miss
Richlander's order she began again.
why did you run away?" she
asked.
Smith shrugged his shoulders
helplessly.
What else was there for me to
do? Besides, I believed. at the time,
that l had killed Dunham. l could
have sworn he was dead when l left
him"
She was toying idly with the salad
fork. Sometimes l am almost sorry
that he wasn't" she offered.
which is merely another way of
saying that you were unforgiving
enough to wish to see me hanged?"
he suggested, with a sour smile.
"It wasn't altogether that; no."
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1917-06-11

There was a pause and then she went
on: Il suppose you know what has
been happening since you ran away
what has been done in Lawrence
Vile, l mean?"
II know that have been indicted
by the grand jury and that there is a
reward out for me. It's two thousand
dollars, isn't it?"
She let the exact figure of the re-
ward go unaffirmed.
And still YOU are going about in
public as if all the hue and cry meant
nothing to you? The beard is an i'm
provement-it makes you look older
and more determined-but it doesn't
disguise you. l should have known
you anywhere, and other people
will"
Again his shoulders went up.
Whats the o. he said. 81
couldn't dig deep enough nor fly high
enough to dodge everybody. You
have found me, and if you hadn't,
somebody else would have. 1t would
have been the same any time and
anywhere"
Il was intending to go on up to
the mines with father" she said
evenly. But last evening, while
was waiting for him to finish his talk
with some mining men, l was stand
ing in the mezzanine, looking down
into the lobby. l saw you go to the
desk and leave your key; l was sure
1 couldn't be mistaken; so l told
father that l had changed my mind
about going out to the mines and he
seemed greatly relieved. He had been
trying to persuade me that l would
be much more comfortable If l
should wait for him here
1t was no stirring of belated senti-
ment that made Smith say: You
you cared enough to wish to see
me?"

Not a Commonplace Man

Surely Brewster Norton was not

about his mouth were deep, and that
his hair was graying fast. Then.

She did not stir and l started back
to my own room. AS I passed the
front window l saw someone moving
in the path leading to the side gate.
Who could be wandering here at this
hour? Then 1 recalled that it was
my employer. He was walking up
and down. his head bowed. A swift
compassion smote me. 1 did not
look again, but ran back into my
room, and, lying down. resolved to
sleep and to forget my problems for
