WEDNESDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG G&JSfc TELEGRAPH APRIL 19, 1916.
Captain Franz von Papen, the recalled
military attache of the German em
bassy. which claims diplomatic im
| n-unity for him. The embassy de
manded the return of the papers seized
i in his office on the ground that the
office Is a branch of the embassy. Sev
enty pounds of documents and letters
taken from Von Igel's office are in the
possession of federal authorities. It
was said they were of great impor
tance, throwing light on various Ger
man activities in this country during
j the last twenty months.
Under $20,000 Hail
Although Councilor Polk, of the
State Department, upon receiving the
request of the German embassy, ad
vised the Department of Justice to
return the papers and to free Von Igel
I unless his alleged offense was com
mitted before he became a member of
the embassy staff, federal agents here
I said they had as yet received no such
instructions.
| The case seems to hinge upon the
question whether the offense charged
against Von Igel was committed be
fore he was employed by the German
embassy. It is charged that the Wel
land canal plot was organized in Sep-
I t ember. 1914, within two months of
the beginning of the war. Records of
the State Department show that it re
ceived notice of the appointment of
Von igel as a member of the embassy
] staff in September, 1915, one year after
j the alleged crime.
Von igel is at liberty under $20,000
bail. A hearing in his case is set for
next Tuesday. Federal prosecutors as
sert that he would be released only
upon instructions from the Attorney
General in Washington.
Counsel has been engaged for the
| accused man and a legal battle to ob
| tain his release is expected.

to certify the nominations to county

will start. This certification must be
made before Friday night at midnight.
It is expected that there will be a
number of withdrawals, which can be
done up to Friday.
The number of petitions filed ran
up into the thousands. As high as
10,000 names were recorded for single
candidates and nominations for which
100 signatures were required were sup
ported by ten times that number.
Some of the petitions filed ,were in
bundles.
The actual number of candidates is
less than in 1912 or 1914. In the lat
ter year there were about 3,800 pa
pers. The decrease is accounted for
by the lack of general filing under new
party names.
Thecloseoftlie time of filing brought
somo amusing incidents as some men
insisted upon waiting until five min
utes of midnight and others whose pa
pers had been rejected endeavored to
file again.
The whole task was cleared up with
in two hours of midnight. Deputy
Secretary F. A. Godcharles signed
every petition when it was filed and
did not have to work much after 1
o'clock. Chief Clerk Thorn had the
whole force of the department on duty
and there was a promptness about
securing Information that facilitated
matters very much. Despite the task
the men of the department made a
record.

Market Square will grow worse In

the Island will do away with the
necessity of waiting at the siding on
the West Shore. My idea Is to have
tho cars run straight Into Ilarrlsburg,
unload and load passengers and re
turn to the Island and there meet tho
cars they now wait for on tho other
sid<; of the river. The trip from and
to the Island can be made in seven
minutes. We tested it out. This
would cause no delay and would
practically give 'cross-river patrons
an eight-minute schedule instead of
15 minutes as at present. Extra cars
could be run for baseball games and

ing the regular cars in and running
only to Second and Walnut streets, re
