TEN DAYS TO ANSWER

burg, which has been slum bering
since the Public Service Commission
last August issued a statement re-
fuslng all applications for certifi-
Gates of public convenience. ordering
amended petitions filed and restrict
ing jitneys TO certain districts. was
brought TO head to-day when the
Harrisburg Railways Company filed
complaints charging that nineteen
1itney operators were running motor
vehicles for hire in defiance of the
Commission. 1t was set forth that
Notwithstanding the order of the
Commission last summer these jit-
ney operators had not filed amend
ments to their applications for GER
titicates and were operating without
having filed routes or obtaining sane

done elsewhere in the state.
The complaints were filed against

be asked in ten days unless an ex-
tension is granted and hearings will
then be fixed and the jitney situa-
ton in Harrisburg will come to a
showdown. When the Commission
issued its order there were reports
that the counsel for jitneymen would
invite a test of the law.
o. G. Wickersham, counsel for the
Jitneurs' Indemnity Association, an
organization of jitney drivers of the
city, who represented them at the
hearings last year before the Com
mission. said he had not been con-
suited by any of the drivers and
could not determine what action
they would take until he had dis
cussed the situation with them.

AUGUST CALL TO

NDAUPHIIN CO.
Youths of 21 to Be in Canton
ments Before Summer
Is Over
QUESTIONNAIRES ARE IN
Local Boards to Classify and
Examine Class of 1918,
Beginning This Week

Not a man will be left in the first
class in any of the six local draft
boards which have jurisdiction in
Dauphin county. according to the un-
official estimates of members of sew
eral of the boards to-day The draft
calls will take before September l all
of the class of 1918 who do not get
deferred classifications. it was said.
These estimates were based to-day
upon the heavy call which the city
and county boards must meet July %
and the unexpected. call for August.
According to information made pub
lie in Washington. the call for Au-
gust will be approximately for 300.-
600 men. The July calls total about
100000 After that the training can
tonments will again be filled to ca
pacity and the monthly calls are ex-
pected to be much smaller.
Draft Calls Heavy
Harrisburg will furnish 223 men for
the July call and will have less than
a hundred men left in the first class,
not counting those in the class of
1918. The August call. if it is as
heavy as indicated, will havt to
take virtually all the recently reg
istered men of 81 to fill the compile
ments.
The order was ssued Saturday
from the office of the provost mar
shal-general that local boards should
Immediately give all members of the
class of 1918 a physical examination.
This probably will be begun here be-
fore the end of the month. With the
exception of about twenty question
naires, all those recently sent the
class of 1918 have been returned and
the boards will begin the task of
classification this week. The police
now are being called upon to seek
out the slackers, who face jail terms
for their neglect to have their ques-
tionnaires properly returned.
Under the present system the draft
calls will take no MEN in Glass un-
less the man who holds this deferred
classification is moved up into Glass
for some sufficient reason. There
is. therefore. no danger that men in
the second class will be called for
the present, at least. The quotas
are being based upon the number of
men available in the first class.

Those Who Are Too Old For

Ordinances, Unless They
Work Every Day
WHOLESALE ARRESTS
PROMISED LOAFERS
Every Man in Street Must
Have Good Excuse Why He
Is Idle or Be Hauled in For
a Hearing at the Regular
Police Court

The police department this
morning began systematic
cleanup of the city to rid the
streets of loafers and put every
man in Harrisburg either at
profitable work. lin Jail or in the
army.
The police drew twelve alleged
loafers in their net this morning,
all of whom received hearings
this afternoon. The men were ar
rested in the streets when the
patrolmen suspected them of idle
ness. The watch for loafers will be
continued, and wholesale arrests are
likely to follow.
The, men arrested this morning
gave their names as follows: John
Hamilton. H. Cook, George Boggs.
Mike Daulton, Lewis Sewers, Cliff
Douglas. John Lane, Patrick Coine,
John Hickert, and two others who
had been drinking so much that they
could not tell their names.
n Several of the men are from Har-
risburg, several from out of town,
and all are held by police to be nom
workers. Several of the men claimed
that they were at work on govern
ment projects near the city. but none
could give good reasons for their alb
senCe from work this morning.
Three Alternatives
The men who are not within the
draft age limits will be prosecuted
under the city vagrancy act. Go
to work or jail' will be the slogan
of the police until all ablebodied
men in the city are placed at prof.
table work. Those within the draft
age will be prosecuted under General
Crowder's work or fight order. They
will be turned over to the draft
boards for immediate military duty.
The police will insist that men
work all the time. Two of the men
are employees of contractors doing
government work near here, and
had what appeared TO be their last
weeks pay on their persons. They
were intoxicated and were evidently
in the city TO idle their time until
will deal with this form of loafers
as heavily as the continual idler.
To Curb Floaters
Police contend that the number of
disorderly characters in the city is
larger now than at any time in its
history, owing to the great forces of
laborers who have been brought
here since numerous war projects
were started. On effect Of the
stringent enforcement of the work
or fight order will be to curb this
disorderly element of the towns
floating population. police say.
Three of the men were arrested
at Tenth and Market streets this
morning when they had remained on
street corner more than an hour.
The patrolmen on the corner sent
them into the station, charging that
there was no reason which permits
man to idle on a corner that length
of time. The police declare they
will break up corner loafing.
