in room 5 of the Victoria building,
under Lieutenant Amtlior. The lieu
tenant reports a daily increasing j
number of young men who arc |
anxious to be told all about the corps,
and to discover just what particular j
branch of signal work trfey want to
enter. He also reports many of the
men who want to enlist evidently
believe they have sufficient quallfica-1
i tlons for commissions immediately.
| When one Vecruit was told that he,
I stood an excellent opportunity of
i getting a commission after he had
: experience at the training camp he ,
i replied he wouldn't mind trying it I
I only the people at the office where
I he was employed would think him a
fool to take such a chancy when he
had a good job.
Lieutenant Amthor is anxious to
get more untrained" men who are
anxious to specialize some particular
branch. Most of the applications
have been from men already trained
in some branch of the work but even
more vacancies exist for the un
trained man who wishes to become
proficient. ~. ~
Daniel Zorger, Jr., 409 Kelker
street, who has had several years
experience as an electrician and in

Payroll Snarl Awaits
Return of Mr. Snyder
Capitol Hill is to-day awaiting the
return of Auditor General Charles A.
Snyder to see what he is going to do
about the payrolls and requisitions
for expenses which the heads of de
partments who were reappointed aft
er being rejected by the Senate are
sliding to him. Mr. Snyder has been
at Pottsville attending the conven
tion of county commissioners, and
no one is authorized to speak for
him.
Attorney General Brown, who re
turned here to-day, says that he will
probably see Mr. Snyder in a short
time, but did not intimate what
course would be taken in event that
payments are refused.
Men connected with the auditor
general's department have refused to
talk in the absence of the auditor
general about the demand made by
>ir- Snyder on ex-Auditor General
A. W. Powell for certain papers which
it is- claimed by Mr. Snyder belong to
the State. Mr. Snyder lodged a re
tainer against one suitcase checked
at one of the railroad stations, which
is said to have been placed there
subject to Mr. Powell's order. Mr. j
Powell has declined to talk and the
auditor general before he left the
city said that he thought some papers
had been taken from the Capitol by,
men who retired when Powell went
out and that lie wanted them re
turned. The papers are said to relate
to corporation taxes and have been
much in the rumors going about the
Capitol for three or four months.
City Solicitor to Ask
Court to Fix Date For
Hardscrabble Appeals
City Solicitor Fox will probably
ask the Court on.Monday to fix a
date in the fall for the trial of all
the pending Hardscrabble appeals
from the viewers' awards.
The cases have been pending for
months, while bonds were being pre
pared by the city and tendered to
the property owners. The first issue
was refused because they were sign
ed by Commissioner William L. Gor
gas, then acting Mayor. Some of
i the second issue have been refused
also, and the Court will be asked
to settle the question of whether the
1 city can furnish its own security.

Kxpwt More Recruits
It is expected that the new order j
from the War Department making
the height 5 feet 1 inch and the
weight 110 pounds, will greatly in
crease the number of recruits at the
regular army station. Enlistments
have been maintaining a good aver- ,
age for weeks, but th'ey have been!
forced to turn away many men
anxious to enter the service who
lack the necessary height.
Recent enlistments from Harris
burg and vicinity are:

street, Penbrook, Infantry; Edward
L. Hinkle, 164 South Summit street,
