CHARTERS KEEP
WHOLEFORCE BUSY
Rush For Letters Patent at the
Capitol the Greatest in
Many Weeks
Over 100 charters will be issued at
the State Capitol this week, the num
ber including eighty-five which were
approved by Governor Martin G.
Brumbaugh when he returned to the
city from his wedding trip. This will
represent one of the largest batches
of letters patent ever Issued at one
| time and will make the total for the
first seven weeks of 1915 in the
neighborhood of 250.
The Governor signed the whole
I eighty-five at one sitting, the pre
| liminary investigations having been
made by the corporation clerks of the
State Department before they were
!sent to the executive offices. This is
the largest number signed at one time
jin years. Once when John K. Tener
waR governor he signed almost 100,
including a large number of electric
companies for Western Pennsylvania.
When Governor Brumbaugh returned
from California he signed fifty chart
ers which had accumulated for him.
The charter applications just signed
will keep the attaches of the corpora
tion bureau of the State Department
busy for several days getting the pa
pers recorded and preparing the let
ters patent which must be signed by
the Governor and Secretary of the
Commonwealth and sealed with the
great seal of the Commonwealth.
Among the charter applications
pending are a number for electric
companies which are either listed for
the Public Service Commission or
have been approved by that body
prior to being sent to the Governor
for his action. A dozen such com
panies have been chartered this
month, mainly for Western Pennsyl
vania.

played this week. York High will play i
at the Auditorium Thursday night!

test was scheduled for Friday night, j
but because of the Interschool de-1
bate was moved up one day.

I manner. The Maroon team is in good
j shape, and is preparing to give Coach
\ Bilheimer's squad another defeat.
On Friday evening Central will
i travel to Steelton. This is the first of
; the league series between these, two
teams, and it should lie a battle royal.
Lancaster will play Reading on the
| same evening, and as the result of
I these six games several shake-ups will
| likely result.
| Camp Hill High will visit Tamaqua
| Friday night. The cross-river live has
a rather pretentious schedule, and in
j another season should have a strong
| team because of this year's experi
| ence.
On the same night Middletown High
visits Hershey to play the high school
representing the Chocolate town. Sat
urday Schuylkill Seminary will play
a return game with the Academy
team in this city, and Coach Tatern's

Telegraph Team Adds Two
to Its String of Victories
The Harrisburg Telegraph basket
ball team returned yesterday from a
successful two-day trip on which they
added two more scalps to their al
ready lengthy string. On Friday the
team defeated Fawn Grove and Satur
day evening Sxewartstown, by the
scores of 29 to 25 and 35 to 25 re
spectively. The Harrisburg attraction
brought out In each town the largest
representation that bad ever attended
basketball games in either place.
"Red" Crane, who will cover short
stop for the Athletics next season,
was the addition to the team on this
journey, taking the place of Stack
pole who was unable to make the trip.
Crane was enthusiastically received in
both places and responded nobly with
six and live field goals in the two
games. The defensive work of Yoder,
Edmunds and Storey was of a high
order, while Gebbard, Crane and
Yoder starred in floor work and
shooting. The local players were
loud in their praise of tlie cordial
treatment that was accorded them in
both towns by managers Duncan and
Brown.
CENTRAL DROPS GAME
Central High tossers lost at Leba
non Saturday night, score 42 to 22.
The local five was off in shooting, los
ing opportunities on foul goals. Moore,
Light and Hybson were Lebanon stars.,
The best work for Central was by

Shuman jury, apparently were not en
tirely pleased at having been selected
for another session. Both complained
that they had caught colds in the jury
room.
J. Frank Sourbeer, foreman of the
Shuman jury, didn't mind the cold
although he was a bit peevish at the
wages he received. Sourbeer was one
of the Shuman jurors examined but
not accepted for service in the Kotur
case. Without hesitancy he declared
that he was not satisfied with what
the county paid him for four or live
days' work. The county pays $2.50
per day for jury duty.
Missing Member of
Sixth Ward Election
Board Is Arrested
Declaring that he had never left the
city Delano Jones, the missing officer
of the Second precinct, Sixth ward
election hoard was arrested yesterday
by Patrolman Edward Murphy in his
old haunts in the "Sixth."
With the arrest of Jones all the
members of the election board which
will, in all probability, face a Dau
phin county criminal jury this week,
are either on bail or in custody
pending their trial for conspiracy and
violation of the election laws.
The other members are W. H.
Young, William Jones, George Moore
and J. H. Reed. The board is
charged with having made fraudulent
returns at the September primaries in
their efforts to defeat IJeriron A.
Weills for the Republican nomination
for constable.
Parents of Girl Killed
By Poison Ask Release of
Her Student Sweetheart
Chicago, Feb. 14.—The parents of
Marian Lambert, the Lake Forest
High school girl found dead in the
woods near the suburb last Thursday,
have appealed to State's Attorney
Ralph Dady, of Lake county, to re
lease William H. Orpet, the University
of Wisconsin student, held at Wauke
gan on a charge of murder. The
Lamberts told the State's attorney
they had doubt of the guilt of young
Orpet and they had no desire to be
vindictive toward the young man.
State's Attorney Dady was willing
to admit to-day that unless he can
prove that Orpet gave his former
sweetheart poison he cannot convict
the student of murder. Although the
nature of the poison which caused the
girl's death has been determined by a
partial analysis of the stomach, the
officers are at a loss to account for the
container. Sheriff Griffin of Lake
county said his men had searched
every section of the woods whore the
body was found and had visited every
drug store in Madison and in towns
along the lake shore from Waukegan
to Evanston. Pictures of Orpet were
shown, but no evidence was found
that he had purchased poison.
In the sixty letters which passed
between the girl and Orpet—thirty
five written by him and twenty-five
by her—the romance of the two ha 3
been traced from its inception to the
time of the tragedy. The missives
show, the officers say, that alarm was
felt about the girl's condition as early
as last September, but the crisis
passed and their fears were allayed
until recently.
HCTCHUSOV TO TAKE REST
Colonel Joseph B. Hutchison, com
mander of the Eighth regiment, N". G.
P.. was to-day granted a leave of ab
sence from National Guard duty,
from February 8 until May I. Colonel
Hutchison has not been in the best of
health, and has been advised by the
family physician to take a rest.

No Incendiarism in His
Store Fire, Says Capiri
A. Capin, of Capln and Capin. whose
store at 430-A Market street, was dam
aged by tire which the authorities sus
pected of incendiary origin, made
statement to-day in which be said that
a careful investigation of the circum
stances leads him to the belief that the
tire was entirely accidental.
Said he: "I was ill 011 the night of the
fire and my son was left to bank the
tire. The bottom of the stove door was
broken and T believe it might have be
come loosened, letting the draught on
full and overheating the stove, which
was of the cannon type. As to celluloid
collars and straw hats being about the
stove, the callts as still on the shelC
untouched and if the straw hats were
on the floor they were knocked there
by those who entered the store when
the firemen came to extinguish the
flames. There is to my mind no indican
tion of incendiarism."
