Beary, deputy adjutant general, with Captain W. H. Kemper, Third infantry, the inspector-instruc tor detailed for the Pennsylvania mi litia headquarters. The questions will be sent out from the headquarters to the colonels com manding about Tuesday and will be Immediately distributed to the officers who will write their answers, certi fying that they have had no assistance of any kind.

Commission Moves. —Officers of the Public Service Commission moved the headquarters of the Public Service Commission to Pittsburgh today fori the western Pennsylvania hearings to be held this week. The Commission ■will hear the complaints of Westmore land county towns against the West moreland water company at Greens burg Tuesday and Wednesday, this being one of the big cases listed and Thursday and Friday will sit in Pitts burgh to hear the case of Solon C. Thayer against the Beaver Valley water company. Executive sessions will be held at night. Hanging Case Up.—What may be the last application for commutation of a sentence of hanging is listed to be heard by the State Board of Par dons on Friday. The case is that of James Reiily, who killed his wife be fore the act making electrocution the legal method of inflicting the death penalty became effective. Reiily was formerly a Philadelphia trolleyman. Fines for Xew Funfl. —Fines im posed in this State under the century old Sabbath law are now being turned into the State fund for carrying fire insurance on the Capitol and other State property. Under the old laws this money was devoted to the extin guishment of the State debt, but as| the fund for payment of the outstand ing bonds which the State wants to! pay off but can not get ran away! ahead of the debt the legislature pro- I vided that all payments heretofore \ authorized to the sinking fund should go toward the new fund. The idea is to raise a million dollars and over $175,000 will be in hand by the end cf the year. Several Sabbath breaking fines have come since the change was made and this item is now, oddly enough, being used toward enabling the State to carry its own insurance. Vinegar Inquiry On. lnvestig ations of the vinegar sold in several of the western counties of the State made in the last few weeks are said to have shown considerable improvement in quality as regards what it was three months ago. The State authorities found that large quantities of vinegar were reaching Western Pennsylvania from half a dozen states and warn ings were issued that the prosecutions would be made all along tWte line. In the list of recent suits for violations of the law the western counties have had very few. Jitneys Will Contest. —Public Ser vice Commission officials believe that the question whether the State must control jitneys will be brought to a hearing in October at Scranton and the complaints filed by the traction company at that place made the tests. Intimations that answers will be filed and a contest made have been re ceived. The result will affect thou eands of Jitneys now run in the State and if the commission finds that it has not jurisdiction it will put regula tion in the hands of municipalities jnlone. Armor; Board to Meet.—The State MONDAY EVENING, Armory Board will meet to-morrow morning at 9 o'clock. One Xew Complaint.

Schuyl kill county, against the Panther Creek Valley Water Company, charging in adequate water supply to the St. Mary's Church. St. Mary's rectory and ; St. Mary's school of that place. Penbrook Committee That Is to Act With Council The names selected by Joseph A. Miller to advise with council in ac cordance with instructions of the mass meeting held Friday evening are as follows: W. H. Wolf, Alvin P. Speas, George Bowman. J. W. Hicks, C. H. I Ruhl and B. F. Knupp. This com- ! mittee will no doubt meet as soon as , possible to organize and confer with council at a special session to learn what has been accomplished to date and what remains to be done before the ordinance is passed and contracts let. It will probably include the im mediate completion of petition, a con ference with the traction company officials and the State Highway De partment to determine whether it is possible to proceed with any of the work this Fall. Practically every one of the property owners on the street is in favor of some method of per manent improvement at once and the general impression is that the com mittee of property owners on the street will do everything possible to co-operate with the council to perfect this piece of road to conform with the excellent work the State has done or. the Jonestown road, which will then be among the finest roads in this section of the State. Dogs of War Are Given Place in French History The present world war is not the only conflict of arms in which dogs have played a prominent and worthy part. When the French were fight ing the ' Arabs in Algeria, it is re lated that one canine favorite was decorated with the stripes of a cor poral and afterward raised to the rank of a full sergeant on account of his abnormal sagacity. He was used in turn as scout, sentry, dispatch bearer and seeker of the wounded on the bat tlefield. Another famous French dog was Tutu, attacked to the 3d Zouaves, who went through the African and Italian campaigns with the regiment. Dur ing the latter campaign Tutu un masked an Austrian spy who had put on a zouave's uniform, while at Pales tro he was the first to swim across the canal, being followed by the soldiers. Magenta was another famous dog that went through the Italian campaign, and when he came back to Paris the I animal was showered with flowers by | the enthusiastic public. This Is the Birthday Anniversary of— j* J ' George W. Cunkle, 268 North street, who is widely known. He is cele brating his sixty-eighth anniversary. Q-rp,p,i WiooLetown iCfiiefispme-a m, wii Roy^bton»OßeßLiD«enf)autl REYNOERS TO POLL COMPLIMENTARY VOTE Leaders Predict He Will Be Given Largest Majority in Home Ward; His Record Pleases With the primaries lust a week away politicians In Steelton are lining up their followers for the final show down. In several of the contests rivalry Is keen, while in a few there will be practically no opposition to the men who are at present occupants of offices. One of these cases is in the Third ward, where J. V. W. Reynders is a candidate for re-election to his seat in council. His nomination will probably be practically unanimous. Following the custom since the or ganization of the borough, Mr. Reyn ders, the highest resident official of the Pennsylvania Steel Company, has represented the borough's principal in dustrial interests in council. In Office Seven Years Since his election to that body seven years ago Mr. Reynders has been the presiding officer. During this time the borough tax rate has been reduced, more than seven miles of paved streets have been constructed and a new 30-lnch intake has been built into the filter plant, which now has a capactiy sufficient to furnish Hlghspire, Oberlin and Enhaut with filtered wter. This would make it possible to either re duce Steelton's water rates or to de \ote greater funds to public improve ments. Other public improvements carried out during Mr. Reynders' term in office include the handsome Locust street steps, the erection of the new Hygienic Hose hoi'.s» and additions to the Baldwin and West Side hose houses: the purchase of a new Heisler pump at the filter plant, the purchase of a new chemical truck for the Citi zen Fire Company and a wonderfully improved sewerage system. Although a busy man on accoun. of his duties with the steel company. Mr. Reynders has devoted much of his time and his far-sighted ability to the interests of the taxpayers. His aim has always been a bigger and more attractive Steelton. To this end he has labored Incessantly. That the voters of his own ward will register their appreciation of his serv ices next week Is certain, according to well-informed observers. His friends, regardless of party, are planning to give him the largest majority ever given a Third ward contest. Hebrew Association Is Organized by Young Men The Toung Men's Hebrew Associa tion was organized by a number of Steelton's prominent men of Jewish birth at a meeting in Tiphereth Israel Synagogue yesterday.
