PERRY COUNTY TO
HAVE LIVELY FIGHT
Judicial Nomination Contests Will
Be Over the Liquor License
Question This Year
Special to The Telegraph
Marysville, Pa., July 14. Perry
county will elect an associate judge
ai this Pall's election, and, as in other
Judicial contests throughout Pennsyl
vania, this contest promises to be a
bitter fight between the "dry" and
"wet" forces. The term of Associate
Judge David J. Kell, of New Bloom
field, who was appointed by Governor
Brumbaugh to fill the unexpired term
of L. C. Wox, of this place, expires in
\ January. This will leave the two
Judges on the bench divided in regard
to the liquor ques'tion. Two candi
dates have already announced them
selves as candidates for the nomination
to this office. Dr. W. A. Meiser, of
Newport, and Isaiah Stephens, of Buf- i
falo township, have had their names :
In the field, but neither has as yet I
committed himself in regard to the I
liquor question.
Perry county temperance folk have I
resolved that no "wet" candidate shall I
bo elected to the bench this Fall and
are taking active steps to elect a "dry"
man. A convention of anti-liquor
workers of the county has been called
to be held in the Lutheran Church at
Newport on Thursday of this week.
The workers propose to organize a
no-license league in every election dis
trict of the county to help to bring
about the election of a "dry" candi
date, each of which will later send
delegates to the county convention. At
this meeting a permanent county no
license league will be organized to take
the place of the dormant Perry County
No-License League now in existence.
At Newport the no-license forces
have already formed their organ
ization. These officers have been
elected: President, Harry L. Jones;
vice-presidents. W. N. Kahler and J.
E. Eshelman; secretary, the Hev. W.
C. Ney; treasurer, the Rev. M. W.
Stahl.
LOCAL COMPANIES AT
GRETNA INSPECTED
[Continued From First Page.]
ollve-drab service uniform.
It Is possible for them to go about
their duties or to spend the interval
In cleaning up, polishing rifles and
preparing for the inspecting officers
until the latter arrive within the regi
mental lines, when the companies are
assembled in the company streets with
their equipment.
Up to last year the men were sent
out to the field for inspection. There,
regardless of a blistering sun, they
were first held in the line and at "at
tention" while the inspectors went
through the regiment, often more than
an hour, and then were put through a
series of field maneuvers.
The inspection was begun this morn
ing with the Fourth Infantry, from
Allentown and its vicinity, which un
derwent the ordeal at 7 o'clock. The
Sixth followed at 9 o'clock and at 11
the inspectors reached the Eighth,
these three regiments comprising the
Fourth Brigade. The Third Brigade
will be taken up later.
Governor Brumbaugh Is pleased
with his experience In camp life. He
spends each evening sitting under his
tent, surrounded by officers, listening
to the band concert.
The Governor looks forward with
eager interest to his first review of the
Btote troops under his command, which
probably will take place to-morrow
afternoon.
Troops not under inspection to-day
OT gaged in field operations in the
vicinity of the state rifle range.
ONE DEAD IN COLLISION

WEDNESDAY EVENING,
PREPARING 10 MOVE
TEMPORARY LANDING
Market Street Wharf Will Be Per
manently Removed as Soon ax
Island Tests Are Completed
Tests of the hoisting facilities and
the formal inspection of the working
of the machinery of the new coal wharf
of the Harrisburg Light and Power
Company on the island, will be com
pleted in a few days by B. F. Wood,
the company engineering expert, who
came on from New York for the pur
pose, and as soon as the engineer of
ficially approves of the try-outs, the
coaling operations will be moved to the
island plant.
This means that within a week, av
most, the temporary landing at the
Market street wall gap will be perma
nently abandoned insofar as the elec
tric company's business is concerned.
For the last few days the great hoist
on the island has been lifting tons of
river coal from the Susquehanna. The
fleets of flats move up to the wall
through the channel that has been
dredged for the purpose and the con
tents are swung by the aid of a big
one-ton "clam" scoop into the "hop
per." The hopper, which occupies the
lower building on the wharf, has a ca
pacity of about twenty-five tons. In
the other building is the machinery,
where the operator sits and swings the
boom that lifts the "clam." Some idea
of just how swiftly coal can be unload
ed by the company's process may be
had when it is understood that in the
tests alone, seven flats, carrying from
fifteen to twenty tons each, were
emptied in three hours.
Carrying: the Coal Home
Two big motor trucks of six-ton ca
pacity, operate betwen the island wharf
and the Ninth street plant of the com
pany.
FORESTERSQUASHES
CATERPILLAR IN EAR
[Continued From First Page.]
paigns have frequently declared that
one fly slain in full health and strength
means the destruction of two million
files later on in the season," observed
Mr. Mueller. "What is true of the
breeding possibilities of the fly is
equally true on a little smaller scale,
perhaps, of the caterpillar.
"Just now the caterpillar is wrap
ping himself in his cocoon. That's
why pretty soon one may see these
cocoons sticking to the weather
boarding of houses, on trees or other
sheltered places. When the cater
pillars emerge and repeat the sin of
their fathers, as it were, Harrisburg
will be flooded with another host of
caterpillars. Now the life of the fly is
curtailed by swatting. Why not apply
the same principle to the caterpillar
by tearing off the cocoon? In other
words, do a little more swatting—with
the caterpillar serving as the swattee?"
Be Careful How You Swat
Forester Mueller added a word of
caution as to the method of swatting
tlio caterpillar. This should be done
conservatively, not viciously and with
oui due regard for the Bquashing possi
bilities of the swattee.
The forester illustrated, thus:
The other day he was supervising
the trimming of a tree when a cater
pillar dropped Into his ear. The for
ester didn't realize that the caller was
a caterpillar. Unconsciously he
reached up and attempted to remove
the bug with his small finger. Mr.
Mueller doesn't claim to have the
smallest ears in the world, tls true,
hut alas! too late, he discovered that
his ear wasn't big enough to hold a
wriggling caterpillar and the forest
er's finger at the same time. And Mr.
Mueller, unthinking, pressed in hard,
and so
(By the way. what would be the best
way to end this story?)
Tomorrow Is Visitors'
Day at Isle of Que
As the guests of Colonel Charles E.
Covert, a majority of the members of
Zembo band and patrol pitched camp

TODAY AND TOMOROW
Daniel Frohman presents the cele
brated military drama "The Command
ing Officer," by Theodore Burt Sayre,
featuring Alice Dovey, at the Ref?en*

features are the intensity of passion
with which several men love one wo
man, the effect of the narrow gossip of
envious women, young and fascinating
girl thrown suddenly into the whirl
of army post life and the self-sacrfic
ing devotion of the garrison to the
commanding officer. Alice Dovey one
of the most popular of the younger
actresses of the day portrays the role
of the commanding officers wife about
whom the action centers and through
whose innocent escapade the command
ing officer is suspected of murder.
Friday—Holbrook Blinn and Alice
Brady in "The Boss." Alice Brady is

based upon one of the greatest suc
cesses of her father William A. Brady.

Carranza's Forces Took
Mexico City Without
Losing Foot of Ground
Washington, D. C., July 14. The
first narrative account of the capture
of Mexico City was received here to
day by General Carranza's agency from
Vera Cruz. It states that the early
engagements in which it was reported
Carranza troops weer defeated were
minor fights during which General
Gonzales was distributing his army for
the final effort.

not a foot of ground but gained con

the report.
Individual Exploits of
Bravery Mark Battle
Ottawa, Ont., July 14.—Individual
exploits of heroism and gallantry
among members of the First Ontario
Battalion, which, as previously re
ported. was all but wiped out In the
action on June 15 last near La Bassee,
in Northern France, are related in an
official eye-witness account by Sir Max
Aitken, the Canadian record officer at
the front, cabled from London and
given out here last nigbt. The bat
talion lost in killed and wounded
nearly 500 men, including 20 officers.
The battalion suffered its greatest
losses In its attempt to take a fortified
German trench known as "Stony
Mountain," says the account. This
fight followed the battle of "the or
chard," up to which time the losses
were very heavy. "Out of 2 3 officers
who went Into the action at "Stony
Mountain' only three missed death or
wounds, and they are Colonel Hill and
Lieutenants A. A. Creighton and T. C.
Sims."
In their attempt to take "Stony
Mountain," the account continues, the
Canadians met a withering fire from
this strongly fortified German line.
While attempting to hold a line before
"Stony Mountain" the Canadians ran
out of bombs and volunteers were sent
•to the rear to bring up more bombs
and reinforcements from the Third
Battalion.
"The loss of virtually all our officers
hampered the fight," says the account
"The volunteers who were bringing
forward the supply of bombs were
nearly all killed and the supplies died
out with them.
"The enemy In the meanwhile had
been accumulating strong forces and
finally the remnant of the battalion
was forced to evacuate all the ground
