Only one accident occurred during the first of the four-day hike of the Penn sylvanians. who will invade New Mex ico. crossing the Organ mountains, and returning to camp Thursday.

Price, was the only unit of the militia to finish the first day of the hike with a perfect score. Not a single man of the First, Second and Third regiments and the other units of the brigade was compelled to drop out. No other brigade went into camp with this blue-ribbon score. The Second brigade, commanded by Brigadier General Albert J. Logan, lost two men, who were compelled to give up the issue because of sore feet. They were members of the Eighteenth infantry, the Sixteenth and Tenth fin ishing with a perfect score. Six men were lost by the Third bri gade, commanded by i?r!gadier Gen eral Christopher T. O'Neill; four were members of the Sixth infantrv and one each from the Fourth and Eighth. Within a few minutes after the division had gone into camp there were more than 10,000 militiamen swimming in the Rio Grande, which skirts the south part of the camp. No difficulty was encountered on the march until advance guards struck the deep sand dunes outside of El Paso. It was then necessary for the artillery and wagon trains to hitch eight horses and eight mules to pull through the sand. Troop H of Pittsburgh, commanded bv Captain Charles H. McGovern, was the advance of the expedition and pitched camp three miles above di vision headquarters. The First in fantry was encamped beside the cav alry. the second and third divisions followed with the artillery and wagon trains on the eastern end of the army of 10.000 men. Major General Charles M. Clement, commanding the seventh division, fol lowed the hike with his stafT in auto mobiles and reviewed the division three times during the first day. He announced he was delighted at the manner in which "his boys" were with standing the long hike and the heat and sun. Colonel Mosoley Pleased Colonel George Moseley, chief of staff, who mapped out the 100-mile route for the march, declared the first day's trip had been a glowing suc cess and that the boys were standing the grind as well as would the season ed veterans of the reguW army. There are 340 supply wagons and sixty-six trucks in the expedition, and fresh meat and bread are being sup plied the soldiers each day. This morning the Seventh resumed the hike, halting at White Spur for lunch and camping along the foothills of the Organ mountains, near An thony. Mex., for the night.

Jury Believes Girl Who Told How City Detectives "Operate" After careful deliberation the Sep tember quarter sessions jury which •tried pretty Anna Corpenny on the I charge of receiving stolen goods, em phatically showed yesterday that it | didn't believe the story of the city I detectives but surely did believe the I defendant's tale by returning a ver dict of acquittal.. i The city detective bureau had ar [ rested the girl in conection with the | thefts of some silverware and other | articles from the residence of E. Z. Wallower, Front and Maclay streets. | The real thief. It appears, is George | Davies who was arrested in Williams ! port and who is now serving a term iin the eastern penitentiary. Davies. ; according to Miss Corpenny had called ' upon her from time to time an'd fre ! quently presented her with little gifts jof silverware, vases, etc. She had no ! means of knowing, she said, that the articles were stolen. Search of her rooms by the police led to the re j covery of the articles and she was 1 taken to police headquarters.

Jr.. superintend ent of detectives, and Paul Schelhas, John Murnane, "Pat" Hyland and other detectives and plainclothesmen urged her to "tell the whole truth 1 now that they had her in the middle," and they would let her go. Her story of how the officers had insisted that she admit that she was an accomplice j in the theft despite her flat denials •of any knowledge or intention of | guilt, attracted the ear of the entire courtroom and even Superintndent Windsor flat refutation of the girl's story couldn't shake the conviction of the Jury.

He is the "boss" of a tailor shop and among his workmen is one John Sweidman, prosecuting witness against ' Earl Thompson. Thompson, it ap penaed, he. the boss, had answered : from a fellow-lodger when the gar , ment was given to the tailor to clean and press. The boss tailor, however, carefully explained to District At torney Ptroup yesterday that while it ! w/is true his employe had been sub poaned. he, the boss, had answered instead as "John" was "too busy." Lewis Stober, charged with false pre tenses in a horse sale, was acquitted [but directed to pay the costs.

' SHE FOR HOTEL IS TAKEN OVER Hostelry Will Rise Out of Ashes of the Old Grand Opera House It was decided at a meeting of the new hotel committee yesterday afternoon to take over the property at Third and Walnut Streets, form erly occupied by the Grand Opera House, as the site for the new million dollar hotel. The meeting yesterday resulted In the decision to take over the property, title to which will in a short time pass from the Weight man estate to the newly formed Har rlsbtirg Hotel Company. Counsel for the company was di rected to apply to the State for a charter, the authorized capital being $300,000. This figure will of course be increased a little later, when the company is ready to proceed with the building operations, to not less than a million dollars. The appointment of an executive and building committee was one of the most important things accomplished yesterday. E. Z. Wallower, William Jennings and David E. Tracy com pose the committee, which will at once get in touch with architects with a view to obtaining an experienced hotel designer and later this same committee will direct the erection of the hotel. Continued interest in the naming of Greater Harrisburg's new hotel is evinced by the new names that each mail brings to the Telegraph. Guy L. Heckert, of Millersburg, believing that the new hotel will be the best and most logical place for tourists to stop, and calculating on the ever increasing automobile traffic through Harrisburg as a highway center, sug gests that the hostelry be called "The Tourist." George I. Fisher, the Telegraph's cub reporter. Is strong for elision and combines Harrisburg and Dauphin into "Harriphin," or if that doesn't suit, he would offer Hotel Stawalbo— figure it out for yourself! "The Gov ernor" is Anson P. Dare's choice, and Harry Brown declares for the "Will- f m McKtnley." or "The Diamond." Another s interest in the rush of names prompts her to suggest "The v\ ipvam Harris," because "its his torical connection makes it catchv and attractive." nan F writes: "If the name of the Til to hold an >' historical significance, why not call it Hotel Harrison or The Harrison?
