Consumption of news print paper

1t was agreed that double spacing
should be adopted for all correspond

Government Takes No
Chances of Losing Its
LabOrers to Contractors

Government officials are taking no
chances on employees for the new
ordnance depot at Middletown. With
other concerns eagerly bidding for
help every effort is taken to safe
guard the supply of help, that work
may be pushed as quickly as pos
sible.
This morning when a train with a
special car of fifty-four men secured
to come to Middletown to work, from
Syracuse, N. Y, arrived here at 4.25
O'Clock, officials from the Middletown
plant were on hand to care for them
despite the early hour. These men
secured by Agent r. A. Rosenberger,
were met by Lieutenant of Police X.
w. Shope, Officer Henning and f. A.
Barr.
Despite the early arrival of the
train, agents from other concerns
were on hand to met them to en-
deavor to persuade some of the men
to locate with the concerns that they
represented. The government offic-
ials, however, pulled one over on
them when they went to the special
car and formed the men in line and
marched them to government head
quarters while the agents of the
other concerns went to the smoking
cars to conduct their campaign.

Evidence Found by Govern
ment Leaders Partly Re-
sponsible For the Arrest
of Sinn Fein Leaders
GERMANS HERE WERE
TO FURNISH MONEY
Uprising Set For the Time
When Germany Planned
to Reach Channel Ports;
to Confuse England
BN .4sSociatcd PrcsS

Washington. May 21.-Evidence OF
plotting between German and Irish
agents in this country for an upris-
ing in Ireland has been uncovered
by United States government agents
and is partly responsible for the re-
cent arrest of Irish leaders by the
British government.
This evidence, which may be
made public soon, is understood to
show definitely that Irish leaders,
mainly Sim Fein sympathizers in
the United States, have been in touch
with German representatives who
agreed to furnish money to tiance a
rebellion in Ireland and possibly to
send arms and ammunition to Ire
land by submarines or blockade
runners. There was even some dis
cussion of the chances of sending
German soldiers to take part in war
fare on Irish soil.
The uprising was set for about this
time, when the Germans had planned
to reach the channel ports after
their great drive in France and it was
believed England would be thrown
into confusion b ythe German ad-
vance.

Senator Penrose Declares
Sproul and Beidleman
Have Won the Republican
Nominations
JUDGE PORTER GETS
STATEWIDE VOTE
Candidates For 81 Con-
gressional Districts; 28
Senate Seats and 2O7 in
House to Be Named

Primary election is being held in
Pennsylvania to-day for the nomina-
tion of complete state tickets and
candidates for Congress and Legis-
lature.
There were spirited contests in the
Republican party for virtually every
office on the state ticket, from Gov
ernor down. The principal fight of
the Democrats was for the guberna-
torial nomination, the candidates for
which were Joseph +. Guffey, of
Pittsburgh, and Eugene c. Bonni-
well, judge of the municipal court
of Philadelphia. There were also
several contests in the thirty-two
Congressional districts of the state.
The campaign of the Republican
factions for the gubernatorial nom.
ination and that for Lieutenant Gov
ernor was especially vigorous. Unit
ed States Senator Penrose early to-
day claimed that State Senator Will
liam G. Sproul, for Governor, and
State Senator r. Il. Beidleman, for
Lieutenant Governor, would win re-
spectively over Highway Commits
sioner J. Jenny O'Neil and Congress-
man John r. X. Scott by large ma
jorities. O'Neil supporters, on the
other hand, predicted a victory for
their candidate, while State Senator
e. H. Ware claimed that Scott would
be nominated.
Candidates were to be nominated
for thirty-two Congressional dis
tricts. twenty eight seats in the State
Senate and 207 in the lower House
of the Legislature. There were
fourteen candidates for the four
nominations for Congress t-Large.
Judge w. ID. Porter was unop-
posed for denomination for the State

ballot,

COUNCILMEN AND
MAYOR DISAGREE
ON SPEED LIMIT
Keister Would Limit All City
Traffic to Rate of Fifteen
Miles an Hour
REPORTS ON vIADUCT
Engineer Would Not Build
Wall Along Entire Bridge
Sidewalk

Should all vehicular and street
car traffic in the city limits be re-
stricted to fifteen miles an hour?
That this question will bring about
long discussion in Council at O
meeting in the near future as the re-
suit of a new traffic ordinance in
troduced to-day by Mayor Keister
was intimated by other commission
ers, who all but openly said they will
oppose the measure with such a
clause.
The new ordinance framed for
Mayor Keister at the Office of the
city solicitor includes all other traffic
rules and regulations which have
been in existence, repeating ordi-
nances which had been passed dur
ing the last few years. 1t was de-
cided to change the restriction pro-
hibiting parking within twenty five
feet of any fireplug to fifteen feet.
The speed clause was drawn ac-
cording to state law, Mayor Keister
explained. He said the act of Leg
islature establishes a fiftcen-mile
limit providing the highways are pfa-
carded, and in districts where there
are no signs a twenty -four-mile limit
is maintained.
Members of Council in speaking OF
the provision declared they were in
favor of proper control of all vehicu-
lar traffic. but did not approve of a
fifteen-mile limit unless it was strict
ly enforced.
Commissioner Lynch introduced an
ordinance appropriating $4,000 from

Light Vote Is
Polled in City

Fears of party leaders that the
vote in the city would be light one
were dissipated at an early hour
this afternoon, when in twelve of
the fifty-three election districts in
the city total of 592 votes polled
of 5000 qualified electors who were
enrolled was announced.
The reports were from widely
scattered districts in all parts of the
city. both business and residential.
While in some districts the percent
age of total votes cast was 80 per
cent. in others 1t was only about 15
per cent, and in estimating the en-
tire city it was said that probably
about one-fourth of the voters had
cast ballots during the morning and
early afternoon. Part of the de-
crease is due to men who have en-
listed or been called into Army
service since last November, 1t was
said
Among the districts from which
reports were secured were the fol-
lowing: Third ward, First precinct,
35 votes cast, 1876 registered; Thir-
teenth ward, First, AZ of PIG; Tenth
ward, Fourth. as of 443; Seventh
ward, Fourth, 61 of 375; Fourth
ward, Second, 115 of 4O2; Ninth
ward, Fourth, SO of 221; Second
ward, First. S5 of 101; Second ward,
Fifth, 70 of 424; Eleventh ward,
First, 54 of 241.

Reports Slow
in the County

In the county districts accurate
reports were not received from
many sections, but 1t is believed the
vote may not be any larger in pro-
portion than in the city districts,
with the exception of districts with
polling. places in boroughs.
Because of vacancies on a number
of election boards, the court late
yesterday made four appointments,
as follows:
Harry c. Miller. Democratic mi
nority inspector, Fourteenth ward,
no election last November; John r.
stutzcan, Democratic minority in
spector, Sixth ward, Second precinct,
succeeding ]. c. McFadden, resigned;
w. w. Bailey, Republican. Judge of
elections. Third ward, Third pre-
cinct, succeeding Benjamin G. Sny-
der, resigned; c. w. Davis, Repub-
lican majority inspector, Sixth ward,
First precinct. succeeding Francis b.
Dwyer, formerly of the City Highway
Department, who is now in service
in Europe as Y. M. G. A. war sec
retary.
For the first time in the history of
the country, there are two candi-
dates for nomination for an impor-
tant state office, Senator Edward E.
Beidleman running for Republican
nomination for lieutenant governor,
and Howard o. Holstein for the
Democratic nomination for the same
office.
In some of the city districts thc-o
were contests for precinct commit
teemen, and it is likely a higher
vote will be polled in those precincts
than in number of others in the
same and adjacent wards.

FAMINE AND WOE
WILL JOIN FOES
OF THE GERMANS
Great Masses Of TeutonS and
AuStrianS Talk of Moth
ing But Bread
FEAR BOLSHEvIK MOVE
Murder of Prisoners With
Fellow Workers Eating
Their Flesh Reported

London, May 2t-"I feel confident
that the time is at hand when
famine. stark, medieval famine-will
join the entente as a political and
military ally against Germany and
Austria" the correspondent OF the
Daily Mail telegraphs from Anne
masse, in France, near the Swiss
border.
The correspondent says he draws
this conclusion from oral statements
by an authentic witness whose obser-
Vations extended up to the end of
April The great masses of the Ger
man and Austrian people, this in
formant declares are more than sick
of the war. They think and talk of
nothing but bread and their morale
is so low that the governments are
fearful of Bolshevik movements.
Murder flushed Up
Among the incidents given in sup
port of the stiry of terrible want is
the case of two prisoners of war en-
ployed at the gas works in Vienna,
who he declares, were murdered by
fellow workers, who ate part of their
bodies. The Arbeiter Zeitung of
Vienna demanded an investigation,
anu the eHllFe issue was cOnnScated
in consequence. The affair was re-
ferred to in parliament, but was
hushed up in the Vienna press.
The narrator said he and his fam
lily had lived for weeks almost en-
tirely on mushrooms gathered in a
forest outside the town in which he
dwelt.
People often faint in the streets
from hunger" he continued.
Even the soldiers do not have
sufficient food. They are not only
sick of war, but thoroughly apathetic
regarding it. 1t is a common sight
to see soldiers begging for food
Everybody is convinced that the ex-
pected food relief from Ukraine is a
mirage. Only another Prussian
swindle,' they say.
The three worst months-Jurs.
July and August-are yet to come
Last year there was almost nothing
to cat in those months but c1lcum-
bers, and fruit. Typhus and dysen-
terry became epidemic. The people
are shuddering at the prospects of
these three months now"
AS far as they dare, the dispatch
continues, the people jeer at the talk
of smashing the British and French
and at the submarine campaign.

fare of Its Fighting Sons

Nine hundred and sixty men and
women in the Qinety-sfx teams which
are covering the sixteen districts in
to which Harrisburg has been divided
were having a successful time to-
day in securing subscriptions for the
national Red Cross fund. The teams
are divided into two divisions-one
captained by Mrs. NJ. f. Olmsted and
the other by Captain Harry NJ. Slime.
The drive for the S150,00O to $780,

raise in Harrisburg began this morn

final instructions in Chestnut Street
Auditorium. This morning they be-
gan their real solicitations of funds.
What Booths Are For

of the city. and in several stores and
similar places, are meant merely to

Through the cooperation and
the well-known real estate developer,
the City Planning Commission has
been able to procure the dedication
of nearly n half-mile of land along
the West Shore of the Susquehanna
just above Wormleysburg for river
park like that on the Harrisburg
side of the river.
Chairman e. c. Herman, of the
Planning Commission. expressed
himself to-day as delighted with the
dedication of this piece of river shore
property on the Cumberland side
and said 'unquestionably the public
spirit of Mr.. Hershey would set an
example for other owners, that he
hoped would result in dedication of
all the property fronting the city be-
tween the river road on the West
Shore to low water mark for park
purposes. This would give the people
of the West Shore perpetually a
river park like that in which Har-
risburg takes so much pride and in
addition would provide a back
ground for the river from the Har-
risburg side free from buildings such
as too often mar the edges of rivers.
| 1t would also preserve the frame of
| trees and greenery which now sur
rounds the Susquehanna river basin
as viewed from Harrisburg. Harris
! burg has done its part by the West
Shore in this respect, Mr.. Herman
points out and the West Shores owes
as much to the city, to say nothing
of looking after it's own interests.

TO AUCTION RARE
RED CROSS POSTERS

TNHE Harrisburg Chapter OF
the Red Cross will auction
off the few remaining Harri-
son Fisher Red Cross nurse post
ers remaining in its possession.
There has been a great demand
for this wonderful work of art,
and Washington headquarters has
asked all local chapters to return
the pictures that remain. A few,
however, have been retained by
Harrisburg chapter for those who
desire them for framing purposes.
These will be sold or auctioned
in the next few days. The pic
lures are beautiful examples of
their kind and approach very
closely the great works of the
French wAr-poster makers.
