$50 MEN SENT
.TOCANTONMENTS
Steelton District Has Given
a Large Number of Men
to L. s. Service

About $50 men have been sent to
the various training camps from this
distric; by the local exemption board.
\ large number of these men are
Steelton residents and help to COM
pose the large honor roll which the
steel town in very proud of.
Fifteen men were sent to Camp
Lee. Virginia, this morning, increas-
ing the honor roll to some extent
The majority of these men were
from Steelton and Middletown. The
contingents being sent from this dis
trict recently have been compara-
lively small with those of other
boards in the city and county. The
cause for this is largely due to the
fact that in the first few drafts the
local board was called upon to ship
large contingents.
Even though such a large number
of men have been sent to camp there
still remains about 221 men in Class
! available for active military serV-
ice, ii was learned this morning
With the classification of men who
registered on June 3, officials of the
local board expect to have at least
200 more in first class.
Although there was no borough
wide farewell for the selected men
this morning a large number of rela-
tives and friends turned out to bid
them good-by. The men were eS-
corted to the Pennsylvania railroad
station at Harrisburg by officials OF
the local board.

common sights, especially yesterday.
Furs and winter clothing were worn
by practically every woman who
dared to venture out last evening.
This morning early morning trav-
elers carried overcoats in large num-
bers. Ordinary summer wear, palm
beaches and other light wear were
especially notable for their absence.
"Mean" Temperature
Saturday, yesterday and to-day
have all had mean" temperatures,
considerably below the normal mean
temperature for this time of year.
The mercury issexpected to reach a
height of approximately II degrees
to-day. but not until tomorrow is
Harrisburg expected to have tenn
perature normal for this time of
year.
Only twice before since the insti-
tuition of the United States Weather
Bureau in Harrisburg has the city
experienced a June summer day as
cold on the average as yesterday.
Never has their been a colder day.
Yesterdays mean temperature was
SIS degrees, IA degrees below the
normal mean temperature for June
%. The other two days since 1883
when the mercury has sagged so low
are June %. 1908. and June "a.
1896. on both of which the same
average was reached
Frost Is Sidetracked
The lowest temperature recorded
in the first summer days was SO de-
grees, which was reached at mid
night Saturday. Yesterday the mer-
curry lowered somewhat above that,
but the cold was rendered more PEN
etrating by the brisk breeze that was
moving.
The weather of the past three days
has produced a deficiency of four
teen degrees in normal June tenn
perature and has reduced the excess
of temperature since January 81 to
nineteen degrees. Saturday had a
maximum temperature of 20 de-
grees with a minimum of SO. giving
mean temperature of 81 degrees,
eleven below normal. Yesterdays
maximum temperature was "a, mini
mum So and mean 5S, fourteen de-
grees below normal.
The frost, forecasted for early to-
day. failed to materialize in Harris
burg. so all plants in this section
escaped unscathed. Many tillers of
the soil had made preparations for
this contingency by covering their
more tender plants The cool wealth
er of the past few days, however, is
expected to retard the growth of all
vegetation in this section consider
ably. A light snow is reported to
have fallen in Altoona last evening
by railroaders who came to this city
from the western Pennsylvania town.

$4,000 DAMAGE
CAUSED BY FIRE
ON WEST SHORE
Three Barns Totally De-
stroyed by Early Morning
Blaze at Camp Hill

Camp Hill, June 24.-An early
morning fire caused by an exploding
lantern to-day totally destroyed three
large barns, together with a large
amount of farm implements and ma
chinery and some of last years hay
crop, at n loss of about $4,000. Those
sustaining losses through the blaze
were Jacob Wolf, Lawrence and
John Westfall, of Camp Hill, and
Mrs. Lizzie Bretz, of Carlisle.
Starting in a barn owned 10y ia
cob Wolf about o'clock, the blaze
quickly spread to the adjoining
buildings and burned them to the
ground in short time. Members of
the Camp Hill Fire Company upon
arriving on the scene of the blaze
seeing that they were unable to con-
fine the flames to the immediate
vicinity with the chemical equipment
summoned help from Harrisburg.
Three companies responded to the
call but were of no assistance as the
buildings were practically destroyed
when they arrived.
Jacob Wolf in telling his story as
TO how the fire originated said: Il
went in the barn to hitch up my
horses about o'clock. l hung the
lantern on nail and proceeded
about my work. The lantern began to
flame and exploded. In order to
knock the blaze out / hit the lantern
with a broom and instead of knock
ing it to the ground as | intended,
In oh Ath n a
hay. Once igniting the hay the
flames spread very rapidly and /
was unable to rescue more of the
contents of the barn than the two
horses.
The flames spread with such rap
idity that an automobile and thresh-
ing machine in the adjoining build
ing owned by John Westfall were
destroyed before they could be re-
moved from the burning building,
After gaining considerable headway
in the Westfall barn the flames
quickly spread to the building ad-
joining which was owned by Mrs
Lizzie BretZ, of Carlisle. Flying en-
bers from the blaze carried by the
wind set fire TO several frame build
ings in the borough. These were eX-
tinguished by bucket brigades.
Jacob Wolf said the fire destroyed
together with the building, four-tons
of hay, three-ton of straw, nifty
chickens, eight hogs and large
amount of farm machinery. lie
estimated his loss at about $2,50O
partially covered by insurance. The
Wolf barn had been standing fol
about thirty-five years.
The Westfall building which was
valued at about $1,000 was partially
covered by insurance. The automo-
bile and threshing machine, owned
! by Lawrence and John Westfall, re
| spectively, were not insured 1t is un'
derstood. The barn owned by Mrs
Bretz, of Carlisle, was valued a
about $1,000.

PENROSE RAKES
M'ADOO REGIME
Senator Remarks Upon Pri-
vate Cars and What Big
Men Are Forced to Do

The fact that Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo, also director gen.
eral of the railroads. rides in a pri-
vate car while men of affairs accus-
toned to work in private cars of
their own while travelling around the
country and able to pay for them are
denied the privilege. was commented
upon by Senator Penrose at Phila-
delphia.
The Senator told of the hardships
suffered by many people while Of
ficers of the Government. not mill
tary officers, had soft things. The
Senator said in part about the
way the administration is handling
things:
Moreover, there is a large array of
incompetent men in Washington who
are utterly ignorant of the special
duties assigned to them and entrusted
with autocratic powers.
"They have made all kinds of fool
ish orders and have treated the thou
sands of businessmen who have gone
to Washington with insolence and dis
regard, thereby arousing widespread
resentment all over the country.
by way of illustration. it is only
necessary to refer to the recent blum
dering order abolishing railroad mile
age books. This order only lasted q
few days, when it was found imprac-
ticable on account of the enormous
congestion at the ticket window, and
the mileage books We're restored"
Senator Penrose claimed that al
least four Pennsylvania districts now
represented by Democrats will elect
Republicans this year. They are the
Sixteenth, composed of Northumber-
land, Sullivan, Montour and Columbis
counties; the Twentieth, which EN-.
braces York and Adams counties; tn,
Twenty third. which is made up oi
Greene, Fayette and Somerset coun,
ties, and the Twenty eighth, which /!
| composed of Mercer, Venango, Forest
Elk and Warren counties.
There is no prospect of the Repub
| lican party losing any one of the Con
! gressional districts in Pennsylvani;
which are now represented by Repub
| licans," concluded Senator Penrose
land IL these four districts | have re
| ferred to are gained Pennsylvani;
will be making a substantial contri
button toward the Republican ma
| jority in the next House. which nov
seems quite likely"
