PRIMARY MAY
FIX ELECTION
With Only Two Candidates
For Judge in Perry County
One Will Win Out

New Bloomfield, Pa, May 9.-The
aresident iudGcship election will
likely be settled at the primary
election, it is believed. With but two
candidates in the field for the Of
flee in the Forty-fir judicial dis
trict, including Perry and Juniata
counties, one of the candidates is
practically certain to receive more
than fifty per cent. of the votes and
this will constitute an election.
Judge jeremiah y. Keller, of Milf
flintown. the present incumbent, Is
the only candidate in the field from
Juniata county and no others are
expected. He went on the bench in
1917 on the death of Judge William
n. Seibert.
James NJ. Barnett, of New Bloom
field, is the Perry county seeker for
the nomination now in the field, and
it is not believed in political circles
that he will have any opposition
in this county. Before the non
partisan act became effective, he was
Il candidate for the office on the
Republican ticket, but was defeated
by Judge William n. Seibcrt.

JURY SERVICE
PATRIOTIC DUTY.
SAYS KUNKEL
Public Business Must Come
Before Private Enterprise,
Is Courts View
NECESSARY AS SOLDIERS
President Judge Likens Scrv-
ices as Important as
Military Demands

Jurors who seek to evade their
duty in the county courts, giving as
an excuse that private business re-
quires their attention, show little
patriotism, declared President Judge
George Kunkel at the opening ses-
sion of the January criminal court.
Fourteen of the petit jurors were
excused, some of them subject to
call.
Judge Kunkel explained he was
referring to 10 specific instance, but
said that he wanted the members of
the bar to understand that in making
motions to have jurors excused they
are as much concerned as the court.
lie declared he would not encourage,
nor should any attorney encourage,
jurors to ask to be excused because
of private business.
Patriotic Service
Some of them seem more con-
cerned about their private affairs
than in the administration of JUS
tice," Judge Kunkel continued. ''TheS
must yield to public business, but
instead of knowing the law they have
learned it backward and think public
business does not come first. There
are jurors who come here and serve
suffering much loss and inconven.
'ience, but without making q mur.
mur. They show their patriotism il
doing this. To serve in times o.
peace on jury is as important a.
military sci vice in times of war. Botf
are necessary to the administration
of government. 1t is their duty tt
serve as jurors when they are called
just as much as it is their duty tc
serve in battle when called"
Boyer Heads Grand Jury
Adam w. Boyer, of East Hanover
township, was made foreman of the
grand jury.
A number of petit jurors who were
ill or whose work necessitated theii
presence at the various plants where
they are employed were excused as
follows: William L. Allen, West
Hanover 'Tt'ow1Hsfiiip;;- roy E.Banltes

Because of the other legal ques
tions before the court and the usua
time required to receive reports
from constables, no criminal case
were called during the morning ses
sion.

CONSTABLES GET
PAY FOR VISITS
OCLOSED BARS
County Solicitor Decides Con
stables Earned Money Dur
ing Influenza Epidemic

Whether constabies should he paid
for visiting saloons and hotels with
licensed bars which We're closed dur
ing October because of the influenza
epidemic caused lengthy discussion
in county official circles between the
commissioners, controller and solic-
itor.
County Controller Henry W. Cough
had most of the constables make af-
fidavits that they actually visited the
places during tHe month that no
liquor could be sold, and the major
ity of them did SO. A few who did
not make their usual visit during Oc-
tober took oath that they only called
>at the bars and saloons in November
and December.
The county commissioners decided
finlly to pay the constables, asking
Solicitor Philip S. Moyer for an
opinion. He said in an oral state
ment that If the constables actually
stopped at the hotels and saloons
during October, even though the
places were closed. they should be
paid. In support of this decision. he
said that the law which directs them
to do this expressly states the con-
stables shall visit all places where
liquors are kept or sold.
The question was raised also about
paying constables from Middletown.
where a number of bars had been
closed because they were within the
half-mile zone of the Government
depots. The officials decided to pay
them, too.

CHURCHES JOIN
TOEVANGELIZE
WHOLE STATE
Plans For State Federation TO
Embrace All Denomina-
tions Laid at Lunch
TO RAISE FUND OF $4,000
Headquarters For Big Cam
paign May Be Located
in Harrisburg

Plans for a State Federation
of Churches to embrace all Pro-
testant denominations were laid
at a meeting of prominent min
listers and laymen of Harrisburg
held in the University Club
rooms at noon to-day, following
a luncheon. The objects of the
Federation as set forth by officers
of the local ministerial association,
are briefly:
''To unite on the basis of deeds
rather than creeds. the forces of
Professionalism.
To Oppose Evil
ITO further statewide uplift, by
opposing evil and advancing good,
through the committees on comfy,
evangelism and social service.
ITO provide 81 constructive pro-
gram of simultaneous evangelism.
The federation method of evangelism
added 5000 members to the churches
of Cincinnati during the year just
closed; 5000 to the indianapolis
churches and 900 to the Cleveland
! churches. The cost of such n cam
paign is insignificant compared to
! that of tabernacle campaign. and
every church continues its own serv-
| ices and employs its own methods.
ITO enable the Christian forces to
act unitedly in the effort to make
Pennsylvania mighty Christian
| Commonwealth"
| Anicck Heads Committee
John A. Affieck was made the
chairman of a committee of bust
nessmen which will raise funds to-
ward a state total of $4,000 TO be
devoted to the work of the fedora
tion. Harrisburg has been assigned
$4,000 of this grand total. A COM
mittee to assist Mr.. Affieck is being
| named this afternoon and full an
| nouncement of the personnel will
probably be made tomorrow. Among
the members now named are Arthur
ID. Bacon, e. ~ Gross, Prof. j. ].
Brehm, E. A. Reigle, Mr.. Clippinger,
Mr.. Mccoy, r. G. Snyder. A meeting
of the committee will be held We'd
nesday noon at the Central Y. M.
c. A. when the proposition will be
| developed further.
! 1t is planned to formulate a con-
| stitution to be adopted by the indi-
| Nlduai Protestant churches of the
| city and later to be adopted as the
federation's foundation.
Headquarters Here
The campaign will be state wide
and similar movements are now be-
/ ing started in the larger cities of the
| Commonwealth. Among the plans for
definite action by this federation are
those cited by the Rev. Roy e. Guild
in a brochure distributed at the
meeting. They include evangelism by
home forces, churches taking an ac-
tive part in civic activities aiding in
welfare work among the soldiers,
training Bible teachers, prohibition
work. patriotic service, mobilization
of missionary forces, Christian com
lty, protecting roomers from immoral
houses, rural evangelism, work
among the theaters, religious public
ity, evangelism outside of churches
weekday religious education. remak-
ing boys, and other phases of the
work.
Harrisburg will probably be made
the state headquarters and an ex-
ecutiVe secretary will be appointed to
oversee the entire work, with offices
here.
