PLANS THURSDAY
FOR HUGHES TRIP
Senatorial Committee Named
to Watch Campaigns in
Eleven Close States
Bridgehampton. N. Y., July 18.—
Arrangements for the transcontinental
trip which Charles E. Hughes expects
to take early In August probably will '
be completed, at least so far as the |
speaking program is concerned, Thurs
day, In New lark, when Mr. Hughes
will confer with the campaign com- |
mittee. There will be little deviation
from the original plan to confine the
number of spesches to about a dozen,
it was said to-day, but the committee
will designate the cities where the
nominee will speak and the dates.
William R. Willcox, Republican na
tional chairman, sent out the call to- ;
day for the meeting of the committee 1
on Thursday to confer.
The chairman announced that this
meeting would be followed by a meet
ing of a special senatorial committee
which would devote its attention to
campaigns in eleven States where
senatorial contests are expected to be
close. The names of Senators John W.
Weeks, of Massachusetts; Reed Smoot, I
of Utah; Thomas Sterling, of South
Dakota; James W. Wadsworth, Jr., of'
New York, and Charles Curtis, of Kan- i
sas, were announced as members of
the committee.
Connolly Backs Up
T. R. on Hughes Story
Oyster Bay, N, Y.. July 18. —Callers '
at Sagamore Hl!l yesterday Included C.
P. Connolly, a prominent New Jersey j
Progressive, and Johr, W. McGrath, ;
Colonel Roosevelt's secretary. The
Colonel discussed politics in genera!
with his callers and in particular he
was informed of the situation as to the j
Progressive party in New Jersey,
where the State committee last Sat- j
urday voted to repudiate the national
committee Indorsement of Justice
Hughes.
Mr. Connolly, who was present at i
the Colonel's interview with J. A. A. J
Hopkins, where Hughes, according to j
the latter, was referred to by Roose- i
velt as a possible "gold brick," tele- j
graphed Colonel Roosevelt yesterday
that he had paid particular attention
to the whole conversation and that he
agreed with the Colonel that no such !
remark had been made.
The New Jersey man came in person ;
to say that Mr. Hopkins' version of the i
whole affair, as published in New York
W newspapers, was absolutely false.
It is believed that the Colonel has !
been assured by his callers that the i
State committee's action in New Jersey
will not be considered in any way
binding by the New Jersey Progres- '
?ives and that the Republican nominee \

Tell People Truth on
Need of Big Navy Is Appeal
Washington, July 18. ln two re
markable speeches in the Senate Sen
ators Borah, Republican, of Idaho,
and Lewis, Democrat, of Illinois, urged
Congress and the administration to
cease dealing in catchy phrases on the
preparedness situation and go before
the coutnry with the reasons why pre
paredness is necessary.
Both senators emphasized the fact
that the United States was never richer
and never weaker than to-day, never
more subject to attack.
Both emphasized the fact that
among the nations of the world, as a
result of the feeling stirred up by the
European war, the United States has
no real friends.
Both asserted that the only security)
for this country in the future rests
I wholly upon its own ability to defend
itself against aggression either from
; Europe or the Orient.

the truth?" asked Senator Lewis.

UNISON KEYNOTE
OF PLATTSBURG
Every Rookie Does Same Thing
at Same Time; Little
Time For Rest
Military Instruction Camp,
Plattshurg, N. Y.. July 16. 1916.
Reveille at 5 4i>, early morning mess
at 6.30, drilling with 40-pound packs
1 and Springfield late model rifles from
7.20 to 11.30, anct mess at 12, is, for
the present, the morning program of
the heterogeneous agglomeration of
, business and professional men who
constitute the Sixth and Seventh regi
ments of the camp. In the afternoon
there is more drilling. In fact, the men
practically eat and sleep by drills. The
exaggerated opinion is even held by
: some rookies that they brush the teeth
(when there Is time/, blow the nose,
et al., in unison and in response to a
command.
Of course, mess formation is the one
formation to which none is late. Mo
bilization at the hours of 6.30 a. m.,
12 noon and 6 p. m. is speedy. Each
.company is marched in "column of
twos" to their own "mess shack" and
takes seats at the captain's command,
given in a loud and emphatic tone,
"Sit down!"
It is etiquette for the company to
stop eating if a regular army officer
enters; each individual becomes trans
fixed. One gulps convulsively; an
other closes his teeth over a sour
pickle and arrests his chewing; an
other in his excitement spreads butter
on his neighbor's hand instead of his
own bread prior to ' attention." Every
salute is done with snap and precision.
It 1s really remarkable what prog
ress has been made among men who
have never before seen an army rifie
or heard and obeyed the call to "fall
in." And so far there has been no
misinterpretation of the command,
despite the fact that Lake Champlain
is just beyond the company streets of
our regiment.
The work is strenuous, but not too
much so. The softness of the rookie is
taken into consideration and the hard
ening process is gradual but firm.
Sturdy old men with gray and even
white hair obey the commands of
youngsters one-third their age but with
previous experience of a month or
more and do the heaviest work with
the best of them. Prominent bankers
are ordered about by their office boys
—it Is the essence of democracy. Only
one exhaustion case has occurred, and
it was but temporary.
Each company is in charge of a first
lieutenant of the regular army. The
under-officers and noncommissioned
officers are taken from the experienced
men in the ranks. Including the stu
dents' camp, there are four regiments
here at Plattsburg for the present
month, each regiment composed of
three battalions of four companies
each, or forty-eight companies in all.
When one knows that there are be
tween 100 and 150 men in each com
pany, the total number of rookies may
be estimated. And there are nearly
1,000 coast artillerymen encamped
here also.
The nights are extremely cold and
the delicate rookie is not warm enough
with two blankets. The days are warm,
but not uncomfortably so. There has
been very little rain.
To the uninitiated the apparently
unceasing and variegated calling out
of commands and blowing of whistles
and bugles would seem like pande
monium let loose. The citizen rookie
absorbs knowledge like a sponge, how
ever, and learns in a month what it
takes the majority of state militia a
full three years to acquire, according
to General Wood.
A bath is a luxury and a shave a
disgrace until things settle down and
efficiency reaches a high point, when
the soldier gets a little time and has
the opportunity of cultivating that
which is next to godliness.
Sunday is a day of rest, and be it
said that the majority of the 7,000
instructees are ready to observe the
occasion when it arrives.

the Islands, etc.
In the Annual Budget
That Council appropriate a certain
amount each year in the city budget
to cover the expense of maintaining
the "bßsln" and that at least SI,OOO be
appropriated this year for conducting
the annual water caj-nival on Labor
Day are the chief requests in the reso
lution which were referred to the
solicitor.
Park Commissioner E. Z. Gross, the
treasurer of the newly formed asso
ciation, asked that the problem be re
ferred to the municipality's legal ad
viser. A report is expected by next
Tuesday's meeting
The Councilnicn's Views
Councilmen generally, in the absence
of an opinion from Mr. Seitj. ques
tioned whether or not any money
could be appropriated this year for a
water carnival because of lack of au
thority under the Clark third class cltv
act. That money might be included,
however, in next year's annual budget,
is within the bounds of possibility, in
the opinion of the councilmen.
Commissioners H. F. Bowman and
W. L. Gorgas said if the city could be
allowed to appropriate a certain sum
each year by incorporating the item
Into some departmental budget—for
instance, the Park Department—as
recreational fxpense, they would favor
It. The question of finding the money,
however, they pointed out, would have
to be threshed out by the budget com
mittee.
For Municipal Boathouse
Commissioner W. H. Lynch said he
didn't care to commit himself on the
project as vet l.ec&ust the matter was
new to him. While he doubted whether
the city could legally appropriate
money for a carnival this vear, he
said he believed the matter of perma
nent development could be carried by
means of the annual budget hereafter.
He favors, he said, the construction of
municipal boathouse and bathing
beaches, if provision for these items
be legally possible.
Park Commissioner Gross declared
that he will consult personally with
Mr. Setts on the resolution with a view
to boosting it in every way that the
legal requirements will permit.
Ask Boosters' Endorsement
The communication which accom
panied the resolution this morning
contained the signatures of all the
water enthusiasts who attended last
evenings meeting. The measure had
been adopted a short time ago by the
aquatic sports committee and was
heartily endorsed following the per
manent organization.
Prior to adjourning to meet next
Monday evening the assembled boat
men adopted a resolution asking the
co-operation of the Chamber of Com
merce, the Municipal League, the Ro
tary Club, the Civic Club of Harrlsurg,
the Jovian League, the Engineers' So
ciety and kindred booster organ
izations.
The Boatmen Organize
The first steps toward effecting a
permanent organization of the canoe
ists, motorboat men and other aquatic
f,? or t sl ?? en make the Susquehanna
"'basin their rc-ndezous were taken
last evening* when forty or more en
vhujsiasts met at the Dlntaman boat
pavilion in the most successful session
the kind ever held in Harrisburg.
following were the officers elected:
President—E. J. Stackpole.
First vice-president —A. P. Dln
taman.
Second vice-president—Harrv J.
Berrier.
Tliird vice-president— George K.
Reist.
Tcnstirer— E. Z. Gross.
Secretary—V. Grant Eorrer.
Further details will be completed
Monday evening, July 24, when the
rivermen meet again to select a per
manent nam?, hear reports of com
mittees on membership, permanent
name for the annual water carnival,
merchants' fleets and other problems
pertaining to the conduct of the an
nual water pageant and to the im
provement and development of the
"basin."
The "Greater Harrisburg Navy"
I That the river "navy" of "Greater
Harrisburg" is assured was indicated
by the enthusiasm which every boat
man manifested last evening; all sorts
of suggestions for the good of the as
sociation were made and the working
out of the details were left to hustling
committees.
The purposes of the organization
were stated concisely bv George W
Reily, member of the City Planning
Commission, who called the meeting
to order, and his remarks were sup
plemented by ex-Postmaster E. J.
Stackpole, who was later elected to the
presidency of the association.
Mr. Reily States Purpose
Mr. Reily is chairman of the aquatic
sports committees which was appointed
a few weeks ago at the suggestion of
the Planning Commission to co-operate
with the Park Department in boosting
the general scheme for the develop
ment and improvement of the Susque
hanna "basin." The purpose of the
gathering, he pointed out, was not only
to start the wheels a-going for a great
water spectacle this Fall, but to lay
the foundation for such an organ
ization as will take the initiative in all
movements that will pertain to mak
ing Harrisburg's wonderful water
front more wonderful and attractive,
If possible.
"To Harrisburg"
Mr. Stackpole's talk was along simi
lar lines. He endorsed the points that
had been brought out by Mr. Reilvand
suggested that the time was never'more
propitious for concerted action on the
part of Harrisburg's host of river en
thusiasts than at present. Not only,
said he, should a permanent organ
ization be formed which would give
weight to any requests that are made
for support of the city authorities, but
every effort should be made toward
making the coming river carnival a
huge success.
"Every year," said Mr. Stackpole,
"Harrisburg should have such a spec
tacle as will make the people for miles
and miles 'round look forward with
eager expectancy to 'going to Harris
burg for the big time on the river'
And," he concluded, "the 'big time'
should be what Tampa. New Orleans
Detroit, Boston and other cities have'
Only we want to make Harrisburg's
celebration bigger and better. It
means lots of hard, earnest work. But
if everybody helps—and I know you
w-111—success is certain."
Carnival On Labor Day
Labor Day, September 4, was defi
nitely decided upon as the day for the
big water spectacle.
' The aquatic sports committee, which
automatically ceased to exist as such
when the new association selected it as
the executive committee of the organ
ization. will handle the details of the
carnival and ac as a finance commit
tee. It was empowered to appoint such
subcommittees as tt may find neces
sary.
The "Greater Harrisburg" idea met
with general approval, as it was
pointed out that many of the towns
along the river, including Steelton,
Dauphin and 'cross-river towns, will
want representation. Nothing, it was
Incidentally pointed out, will prevent
other municipalities from as far north
as Mlllersburg, as far as Columbia, as
far east as Lebanon, or even Reading,
from Joining in the "big time" if their
water sportsmen so desire.

gasp and a splendid wind-up of pyro

If Drenms Come True
So much for the annual carnival.
The association is already looking for
ward to permanent development. For
instance: ,
Municipal boathouses and bathing
beaches; boat channels, blasted where
necessary, and properly marked with
buovs and lights: police regulations;
emergency boats for assisting the luck
less canoeist who may topple into the
stream or who may get beyond his
depth while bathing: proper appro
priation each year in the councilmanic
budret for maintenance and develop
ment of the river basin.
The boatmen expect to get all these
things eventually. And in the very
near future &• total membership of
hundreds of Hnrrisburg's river en
thusiasts will be behind the demands.

Cannot Evict Families of
Guardsmen From Homes
By Associated Press
Pittsburgh, July 18.—Families of
goldlers In service of this State or
the Federal government cannot be
evicted by civil process for the collec
tion of rent while the soldiers are in
such service.
Since the military units in Pitts
burgh went to the front hundreds of
families have been notified to pay their
rent or move out. Mayor Joseph G.
Armstrong and Clt? Solicitor Charles
O'Brien will enforce the State law
passed by the 1915 Legislature pro
viding against just such a contingency.
Payment of rents cannot be forced
until thirty days after a soldier has
been mustered out of service. The
law of April 9, 1915, is a barrier
against landlords' warrants.
