JUDGE GEORGE KUNKEL
Official figures of the votes cast in
the nonpartisan primary for nomi
nation of judges of the Supreme and
Superior Courts were secured at the
t'apitol to-day, the last of the returns
having been received this morning,
and they show that the names of the
following judges will go on the ballot
in November:
Supreme Court —George Kunkel and
Robert S. Frazer.
Superior Court—Frank M. Trexler
and James A. Clark.
The figures show that Judge Kunkel
received over 11.500 votes more than
Judge Gustave A. Endlich, of Berks,
while Judge Trexler got an even
200.000 votes, probably more than
polled by any candidate In the whole
state-wide primary. An analysis of
the vote indicates that Judge Kunkel
is a sure winner at the elections in
November.

HOW HE DOES ACHE!
IFrom the Philadelphia Inquirer.]
VANCK C. McCORMICK fairly aches to serve the dear people. He says
so himself. If he could only be elected Governor how he would
stand up for "human rights:" No "middle of the road methods" for
him; no "half way measures" would suffice. Reorganize—yes, that's
what he would do—reorganize everything. And such economy he would
have! Bless us! there would be no money wasted under him.
Mr. McCortnlck—millionaire—deems himself fullv competent to run
the State on economical methods. Why. hasn't he Just given us all an
object lesson In rigid economy? To be sure he has. He wanted the nom
ination at the Democratic primaries. He told the people so. He went
before them and talk to them and urged his competency upon them.
All that he personally spent out of his ample fortune to induce a goodly
attendance of them at the polls was $33.000! That was all, save for a
few extra dollars and cents over and above the 133,000.
There was economy for you! Why, he could have spent twice as
much, but refrained. It was necessary to prove that he can be economi
cal when he tries. Of course, he will spend much more than $33,000 at
the election. It may be $133,000 or even $233,000. Could he be elected,
his salary for the entire four years would he onlv $40,000. Thus he is
willing to pay much more than he receives to win the Governorship.
Could he give a better proof of how much he desires to teach economy
of administration to the public? Could he better demonstrate how dread
fully he aches to serve the people?

Pv Associated Press
Niagara Falls. Ont., June 9.—The
mediators to-day submitted to the
Mexican delegates the counter-pro
posals of the American government
for t'.ie pacification of Mexico. The
American plan is, with few modifica
tions, the same as that which the
mediators and Mexican delegates re
cently agreed upon and which Gen
eral iluerta approved. It provides the
method of transferring the executive
power in Mexico City from the present
regime to a new provisional govern
ment which shall in a few months
conduct elections for president, vice
president and members of congress.
No names have been agreed upon
between the Mexican or American
delegates for the new provisional
president or his cabinet. In fact,
neither side has yet made its nomi
nations.
The program of the proceedings is
about as follows:
Within a (lay or two the Mexican
plan and the American plan will have
been dovetailed into one and a full
conference of all parties will be called.
Final approval is not expected im
mediately frdm either party, however,
as the mediators then will ask the
American delegates to begin to ascer
tain the attitude of the Constitution
alists. This may proceed through the
Washington government or in any
manner the delegates choose. The
mediators will tuke a brief recess in
the meantime.

TO SWITCH ON 16
CLUSTER LIGHTS BY
END OF THIS WEEK
Standards at Intersections in East
and West Ends Now Being
Installed
AS IN BUSINESS DISTRICT
Contract For All Ornamental Il
lumination Expires on Same
Date
By the end of the week the new
standard cluster lights at hte Intersec
tions of J)erry and 13th, Market and
Thirteenth, Third and Verbeke and
Sixth and Maclay streets, will bo
into service by th" Ilarris
burg Light and Power Company.
Th • sixteen additional standards
were provided through ttie efforts of
City Commissioner 11. F. Bowman, su
perintendent of public safety. The
lighting of the ornamental standards
will mean the removal of the over
head arcs at these points after tha
same plan that was adopted for tha
commercial district. Incidentally this
will mean deduction of four in tha
city's total.
The sixteen standards were con
tracted for on precisely the same
terms which governed the installa
tions in the business district. Tha
contract for all the ornamental street
lights expires at the same time, Sep
tember 1, 1922; all the standards were
obtained at the same figure. For each
standard of five clusters the city iaya
SBS per year for service—at the rate
of sl7 per year per globe. To this
is added C 6 a year for nine years to
pay for the installation with under
ground connections, the ornamental
standard, fixtures, street work inci
dent to the installation—in fact all
expense and equipment connected witll
: the work.
Tile Lighting Contract
In contracting with the city for
the ornamental standard lighting the
electric light company offered tha
standards and equipment, cost of in
stallation, etc., for $54 per pole, the
sum to be paid in equal instalments
of $6 per year for the life of the nine
year contract.
The ordinance authorizing the in
stallation of the sixteen new lights
was passed' by council some months
ago. Unlike the arc light section
of the city's street lighting contract,
no reduction is made for the cluster
standards.
Swaths Her Pretty
Ankle With a Crisp
Ten Dollar Bill
With her left ankle wrapped with
a crisp new ten dollar bill, a young
woman caused a sudden depression in
business as she promenaded up and
down Market street this morning.
There was just one bank note. It
fitted neatly about the ankle. There
was no question about the denomina
tion of the bill. The young woman
also wore white silk stockings. Fur
thermore they were drop stitch, often
termed "open work." That Is why the
ten dollar bill was so plainly visible.
A slit skirt of the latest style was a
factor in the display of the neat ankle
adornment.
