certain that a half hour remained for
the destroyer's boarding party and the
liners crew to remain aboard and

This Is what happened:
One sailor took knife, fork and

An assistant paymaster, who writes

DAUPHTN GRADE
CROSSING WILL
BE ELIMINATED
No Objection to Building Sub
way Under Railroads Filed
Before Public Service

No objections to the building of the
subway at the lower end of Dauphin
were put before the Public Service Com
mission to-day at the hearing conducted
before Chairman w. d. B. Ainey. The
subway was proposed by the State
Highway Department to eliminate a
dangerous grade crossing in The ROAD
linking Harrisburg with the William
Penn highway and the Susquehanna
Trail.
Engineers representing the State
Highway Department, the Pennsylvania
Railroad and the Philadelphia and
Reading Railway Company were In at
tendance at the conference. 1t was said
that the project will cost about S100 600.
The subway will be % feet wide and
the cost will be apportioned between
the two railways, the State Highway
Department. the county. the borough OF
Dauphin and Middle Paxton township.
Because of the absence of protest
against the plans as drawn ~ the
State the Public Service Commission S
decision is regarded as being assured
OF favorinS the proposal. If The appor-
tionment of costs is made next month
it is said probably contract for the
work may be let before the year is out

Republicans of Harrisburg and

thought in mind this week and that
is:
Get out tho vote next Tuesday"
1t is generally conceded, even by
Democrats, that the whole Repub-
lican ticket will be elected.
In the quietest campaign in years
the only question now is how big
the Republican majority will be.
THAT is the only cloud in the
sky" said Republican leader to-
day. We must not sit down and
fold our hands simply because the
opposition is putting up no fight.
Many an election has been lost by
the lethargy of the voters-over-
confidence in the result-and while
there is no danger of the election
being actually lost to the Repub-
leans this time, there is the danger
that over confidence will keep too
many voters at home. We ought to
roll up a majority this year that
will leave no doubt in Democratic
minds what we mean to do next
year. Get out the vote: that is the
slogan we all r1ust adopt"
