twenty-one to thirty days.
Dr. Raunick stated to-day that a
vigorous campaign is to be waged
throughout the city to insure a gen
eral clean-up of premises as a safety
measure against infantile paralysis.
Owners of premises who refuse to
clean up will simply have to pay the
bills for the jobs which will be in
curred by the health authorities, who
will take a hand themselves.
Appoint Inspectors
State Commissioner of Health Dixon
to-day detailed fifty township medical
inspectors from eastern and central
counties to reinforce the men now en
gaged in carrying out the quarantine
against neighboring States for infan
tile paralysis and at the same time the
Attorney General's Department an
nounced that it was prepared to go to
the fullest extent of the law in sup
porting the health authorities.
The township men were drawn from
Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, Leb
anon, Berks, Lancaster, York, Adams,
Lehigh, Dauphin, Schuylkill, Carbon,

Deputy Attorney General Joseph L.
Kun, who was in consultation with
the health authorities to-day, said,
"The legal department of the State
government will prosecute to the ex
tent of the law persons who violate the
quarantine. At a time like this ob
servance of quarantine should be re
garded by everyone as the highest

sis in New fork has called a meeting |
of State Health authorities to be held !

By Associated Press

, another without a certificate.
McCormick Is Going to
"Size Up" Maine For Wilson
New York, Aug. 10.—Vance C. Mc.
I Cormick is going to Maine: he said
yesterday he probably would start to-
I night, but that he would not make
more than a flying visit. He thought
I he might be in a position to announce
the members of the Wilson campaign
i committee before leaving New York.
It was learned from a Democratic
source that McCormick's visit to Maine
is less with a hope of jacking up the
Democratic campaign there than to
learn for the President exactlv how
I bad conditions are In the New England
! State. When the Wilson campaign
i: manager was told yesterday that the
j Republicans expected to carry Maine
by at least 12,000 plurality he con
; tented himself with the single remark:
I "They won't get It by that plurality."
HAKRISBURG TELEGRAPH
KEYSTONE STATE'S
WHOLE DIVISION
Call For Two More Regiments
and Organization of Artillery
Completes It
The Second regiment of Pennsyl
vania Infantry, now at El Paso, will
become the Second regiment of field
artillery of Pennsylvania and the
Nintli infantry, callod to assemble at
Mt. Gretna on August 18. will become
tlia Third field artillery. The Thir
teenth infantry will retain its identity
and number and after being assembled
at Mt. .Gretna on August 15. will be
mustered into the United States ser
vice and sent to the border to take the
place of the Second infantry in the
First brigade. The two commands
will be equipped at Gretna and sent
South "when practicable."
The formal orders calling the 9th
and 13th into the federal service were
received last night by Adjutant Gen
eral Stewart together with orders for
the Second to be transformed into field
artillery at the border and for the
Ninth to be equipped at Gretna as ar
tillery. The necessary orders to carry
out the movements of the troops to
Mt. Gretna and other arrangements
are under way to-day. Everything
will be in readiness for the quartering
of the troops at Mt. Gretna and for
recruiting and mustering after exami
nation, it was stated here to-day.
In regard to officers General Stew
art said to-day that the commanding
officers would take up that matter and
submit names.
The organization of the regiments
as artillery and the mustering of the
Thirteenth to replace the Second will
give the State a tactical division except
for three companies of engineers and
some hospital units which could read
ily be organized.
The equipment of the Philadel
phians as artillery and the transforma
tion of the Luzerne county regiment
into the same arm of the service will
cost the government about $2,000,000
it is estimated. Before going to the
border the two anthracite region regi
ments will bo recruited up as close
to war strength as possible.
Captain J. Frank Barber of Phila
delphia, former commander of Com
pany B of the State Engineers, was
to-day given encouragement by Ad
jutant General Stewart In a plan for
raising additional engineer troops for
the division of Pennsylvania soldiers
now at the border. Captain Barber
is Interested in forming such organiza
tions in Philadelphia and General
Stev/art to-day gave him assurances
of encouragement and help.
If additional engineer troops are re
cruited they will no doubt be sent to
the border as the War Department has
been desirous of having the technical
arms of the service completed as soon
as possible.
The Pennsylvania division has three
companies of engineers and to com
plete a tactical division it should have
three more.
, Orders have been issued for com
i panies C, Milton, and D, Williamsport,
j part of the separate infantry battalion,
| to proceed to Mt. Gretna on Saturday
Jto be mustered into service for re
-1 crulting duty at the camp. The or
ganizations of the 9th and 13th regi
ments previously detailed for this duty
will go with their commands. Orders
I are expected soon for Company K,
Sunbury, of the separate battalion, to
; be assembled for muster, to take the
place of the Fourth regiment com
pany from Pottsville which was trans
ferred to engineers.
