Governor Sleeps Late; Tired
Out After Reception at
Altoona
Special to The Telegraph
Altoona, Pa.. Oct. 7. Governor
Brumbaugh and party pot away from
Altoona at 9 o'clock. Members of the
Altoona Motor Club escorted the party
to the city line, where a large sign
with the Inscription, "Call Again, Gov
ernor," had been erected.
The outgoing trip was made through
Hollidavsburg, the county seat, and
thence by way of Williamsburg, over
the recently rebuilt Philadelphia-Pitts
burgh pike. The Governor, wearied
by yesterday's long ride and last night's j
big reception at the Logan House,
slept late. He was entirely refreshed
and was enthusiastic with the prospect
of getting among his old friends and
relatives in his home county, Hunt
ingdon.
Rousing Reception
Huntingdon, Pa., Oct. 7. —In his
'.'seeing Pennsylvania" tour Governor
Brumbaugh to-day came to a similar
scene. For two hours he was in
Huntingdon, is native county and
that with greeting his boyhood friends,
addressing the student body of Juni
ata College, where he was presi
dent at the age of 27, and
lunching with the faculty, the Gover
nor voted it the most interesting fea
ture thus far of the trip.
"Everywhere we go they treat us
splendidly," said Pennsylvania's chief
executive, and waving his hands to-1
ward the surrounding hills and the
blue Juniata he said it in a manner
that brought cheers from the thou
sands of factory workers, high school
and college students that surrounded
his auto in the main square, "but, my
friends, there's no place like home."
The shrieking of Huntingdon's fac-
whistles apprised the town that
the Governor and party had reached
Yellow Springs on the county line.
Schools here were closed, factories
shut down and the faculty and stu
dents of Juniata college were let
loose to greet the Governor. He made
a second speech at Juniata college,
where he and the other members of
the party took luncheon, continuing
afterwards on their trip. To-night
will see them at Williamsport.
Dirt Roads p Delight
The humble dirt road is no longer
the shame of Pennsylvania. Governor
Brumbaugh and his party, in a stren
vous day of mountain climbing east
ward over the Alleghenies, drove one
fifth of the 150-mile journey from
Pittsburgh to Altoona yesterday over
dirt roads that were smooth and hard
and well drained.
After the 250 miles of macadam
loads of the first two days of the jour
ney members of the party were not
prepared for easy riding on the dirt
loads expected yesterday. But when
the party slipped onto the first stretch

NEWS PROVES SURPRISE
Widow of Prominent Jeweler
Will Soon Become "First
Lady of the Land"
By Associated Press
Washington. D. C., Oct. 7. —Presi-
dent Wilson and Mrs. Norman Gait,
whose engagement was announced last
night at the White House, will be
married probably the first week in De
cember. The ceremony will be pri
vate, only a few close friends being
invited, and will take place at the
home of the bride on New Hampshire
avenue near Dupont Circle.
Plans for the honeymoon have not
been lompleted, but it was Indicated
to-day that the trip might include a
visit to the San Diego Exposition.
For the third time in American his
tory a President of the United States
will take a bride. In choosing to have
the ceremony performed not in the
White House, but at the home of the
br.de, Mr. Wilson follows a precedent
set by President Tyler, who was mar
ried in New York in the Church of
the Ascension. President Cleveland,
the only other Chief Executive to be
married while in office, was married
In the White House.
Going to New York
President Wilson and Mrs. Gait will
make their first appearance together
in public since the announcement of
their engagement to-morrow in New
Ycrk, where they go to a house party
given by the President's close friend
and unofficial adviser. Colonel E. M.
House. To-morrow evening they will
attend a theater party in New York
and the next day on the return toward
Washington will see the second game
In the world's baseball championship
scries at Philadelphia. The party will
include Colonel and Mrs. House, Mrs.
Gait's mother. Mrs. Boiling: Miss Helen
Woodrow Bones, the President's cousin;
Secretary Tumulty and the President's
personal physician and naval aid, Dr.
Grayson.
Early to-day a messenger carried a
great bouquet from the White House
conservatory to Mrs. Gait's home, in
a portion of the residence district
known as the "hub" of the social sec
tion. the scene of many brilliant af
fairs in national society. Mrs. Gait,
herself besieged by friends coming to
offer congratulations and interviewers,
denied herself to all but her closest
friends and declined to add anvthing
to the simple announcement formally
issued at the White House, saying
only that she and the President of the
United States were to be married.
Staff for Social Work
To-morrow's party given by Colonel
House will be only the first of many
events which are being planned for
the presidential party before the time
for the wedding. Invitations and con
gratulations began pouring into the
White House offices to-day in such
numbers that, as on previous occa
sions when the White House had a
wedding on hand ,a special staff of
clerks was prepared for assignment of
social work only for the next two
months.
Colonel House, who knew of the
President s coming enslavement with a
few other intimates long before the
news was permitted to reach the pub
lic, planned liis house, party some time
ago. Other close friends are planning
prenuptial affairs and the White
House, which for more than a year
has been observinp a period of mourn
insr, begin to take on its old aspect
of social activities and again become a
center for many of the best known
people in the American social circle.
The time of the wedding, coming prob
ably almost at the opening of Con
gress and the return of the diplomatic
corps to the capital from the summer
embassies, will signalize the full swing
of the Washington social season, which
now will include the usual state din
ners and receptions in the executive
mansion.
At His Desk Karly
President Wilson went to his desk
early to-day as usual and was greeted
with congratulations by the White
House staff and callers, who began
arriving immediately. He received
congratulations with smiles and words
ot thanks, and evidently was i happv
man. His first caller was Assistant
Secretary Phillips, of the State De
partment. Secretary Lansing followed
and then Senator Saulsburv. of Dela
ware. All the members of the Cabi
net sent their congratulations early in
the day and some of them called later.
The news came as a surprise to all

Mr. Gait Was Best Man
at Detweiler Wedding
Xorman Gajt. the husband of Mrs.
Gait, who will wed President Wood
row Wilson in December, was widelv
known in this city. He was a close
friend of Dr. J. B. McAllister and the
late Meade D. Detweiler while they
were in Gettysburg College back In
1885. William E. Buehler, formerly
of this city, now of Philadelphia, was
also a close friend.
Mr. Gait was best man at Meade
Detweiler's wedding and a frequent
visitor to this city. After his colege
days, he went into the jewelery busi
ness and in time became part owner
of one of the largest Jewelry stores in
Washington. His widow now owns the

Four Men Killed
by Powder Explosion
By Associated Press
Emporium, Pa., Oct. •7. Four
men instantly killed, another prob
ably fatally hurt and six seriously
injured, it was stated to-day, were the
casualties resulting from the explosion
last night at the plant of the Aetna
Explosive Company. A large quantity
of smokeless powder, prepared for
shipment to-day to the allies, exploded
from some yet undetermined cause,
blew the two story drying house to
atoms and shook the surrounding
country for miles around. Inasmuch
as the mill had been closely guarded
day and night officials informally ex
pressed the opinion to-day that the
explosion was accidental.
The investigation is being con
tinued, however. The dead men who
came here from Wilmington, Del., are
J. Jensen, 48; P. Jenson, 24, (son
of J. Jensen); J. Marshall, 26;
Knapp.
A man named Eloison of Port Alle
gheny was so seriously injured that he
is not expected to survive the day.
The plant which was recently
erected at a reported cost of $5,000,-
000 consisted of a large number of
small buildings, of which the wrecked
one was the largest. Officials fix the
property loss at $315,000.

EIGHT NAMES TO
BE PRINTED ON
COUNCIL BALLOT
County Commissioners Will Be
So Advised by Solicitor
Ott Tomorrow
NO COURT ACTION
Two Primary Leaders to Top
Ticket; Pick Other Pair
From Remaining Six
The names of the eight nominees
for the City Council chosen at the
primaries will be printed on the non
partisan ballot for the November elec
tion.
The two candidates who received
more than fifty per cent, of the total
vote—probably City Commissioners
W. L. Gorgas and HnrrJ F. Bowman—
will be placed at the top of the list,
and unless other candidates voted for
by "stickers" receive more votes than
the leaders did in the primary, Messrs.
Gorgas and Bowman will be declared
elected. The remaining two candi
dates who must make up the four to
comprise Council will be chosen from
the six remaining nominees on the
ballot.
In effect this will be the opinion
Col. F. M. Ott, county solicitor, will
submit to the Dauphin county com
missioners to-morrow morning in ad
vising the board as to the printing of
the nonpartisan ballot.
The opinion of Attorney General
Francis Shunk Brown relative to the
nonpartisan judiciary ballot applied
only to the 1915 supplement of the
1913 judiciary law and not to the
1915 supplement of the Clark act
which provides as to the method of
election of candidates for Council on
the nonpartisan ticket. The only ap
plication Attorney General Brown's
opinion might have, according to Col
onel Ott. Is that it helps "to throw
some light on the method of comput
ing the fifty per cent, vote." •
No Court Action
The decision of the county solicitor
seems to be the prevailing view of the
members of the Dauphin county bar
although a few lawyers hold that the
candidates receiving more than fifty
per cent, should be placed in a group
by themselves on the ballot to be
voted for alone and that the remain
ing candidates should be selected from
the other nominees.
By adopting Col. Ott's recommenda
tions the county commissioners inci
dentally will make court action un
necessary unless the constitutionality
of the act should be questioned after
ward. If Attorney General Brown's
opinion had been applicable to the
councilmanic situation, two of the low
candidates of the eight—O. M. Cope
line and Charles C. Steiner—would
have lost their places on the ticket.
These candidates had intended raising
the question of constitutionality of the
act by mandamus proceedings.
Old Wesley Union Church
to Be Vacated Sunday
Wesley Union A. M. E. Church, lo
cated for eighty years at South street
and Tanners avenue, will be vacated
Sunday, when the congregation will
move to the. new church at Forster
and Ash streets.
This historic old church, which has
been taken over for the Capitol Park
extension, has a splendid record. It
was an important station in the fa
mous "underground railway" of Civil
War days and has taken the lead in
movements for the betterment of the
r.epro race.
Special services will be held in ob
servance of the transfer. Bishop Alex
ander Walters, of New York, will
preach at the morning and evening
services Sunday. In the afternoon
Dr. L. Cunningham will deliver a
sermon. Under the direction of Pro
itssor M. Layton general praise and
thanksgiving services will be held
Monday evening. The Rev. James
James, pastor of Harris Chapel, will
preach Tuesday. Services will also be
held Wednesday. The Leonidas Club
will give an oyster supper Thursday
evening.
Revoke Licenses of Dealers
Who Sell Dirty Milk
A number of milk dealers in this
city, whose samples have not answered
the city health department require
ments, are now being kept under close
observation by the health authorities,
who are making every effort to keep
the milk sold in this city up to the
standard.
Dr. J. M. J. Raunick, city health
officer, said to-day that unless several
dealers do not show an improve
ment in their samples, their licenses
will be rtvoked.
Last night William H. Myers, a local
dealer, was given until November 1,
to show an Improvement in his supply,
or his license will be revoked by the
health depatment.
C. A. Hoak, of Pcnbrook, another
big dealer, whose, milk, on several oc
casions have been below the required
grade, has been given a license subject
to revocation without notice for fu
ture violations. Mr. Hoak. has ob
tained the services of Dr. Lee H. P.
Maynard, a Philadelphia bacteriolo
gist, to help Improve conditions at his
plant, and on this condition his license
which had been held up eight months,
was granted.
At the meeting last night, C. M.
