COMPANY I EAGERLY AWAITS DAY IT WILL BE ORDERED TO CAMP HANCOCK
FOR FINAL TRAINING BEFORE TAKING
1 ' _ —l'hoto by Roshon
Company I, Eighth Regiment National Guard of the United States is shown above drawn up in line before the temporary
encampment on the Island. The men are eagerly looking forward to the day when they will be moved to Georgia for final training
before going to France. This unit with Company L) is composed of Harrisburg boys. Captain Jenkins is the commander.
TROOP C IS
EXPECTING TO
GO TO AUGUSTA
Takes No Stock of Reports
Which Say It Will Go
to Tobyhanna
COMPANY D PROMOTIONS
Many Men Are Moved l*p For
Rapid Mastering of Mil
itary Work
If the boys of the Governor's
Troop are sent to either Jit. Gretni
or Tobyhanna it will be very much
against their present expectations.
The route and the railroads they will
travel to Augusta, Georgia, has al
ready been mapped out and when
the order comes to hit the trail it is
believed they will travel the one
that has been decided upon at least
for the present. A representative ot
the Southern railroad visited Captain
Koberts this morning and discus
sed travel on the southern routes.
The exact route they will travel oil
course will not be published but the
proposed route is known to the offi- j
cers.
Rumors are still rife as usual con-'
cerning armored trucks, 16-inch,
guns for artillery and everything
that has been mentioned concerning
their ultimate designation. One in
sists that a great shortage of armor
ed trucks exist, therefore they can
not go as an armored unit. Another j
is quite sure that the short heavy
bore guns being made over the'
country is a sure sign that a large
number of other branches of the ser-1
vice will be converted into heavy
artillery.
Has Records Drawn
Dick Hamer, clerk to Captain
Roberts, has completed the enlist
ment records of the men. A com
plete physical record describing each
man is kept on his record. Every
thing that he does worthy of men
tion is also noted. If he performs a
meritorious act it is marked down
and when promotions are being
made it will stand in his favor, if
on the contrary he forgets himself
and . falls to the temptations that
constantly entice the boys, he is due
for a reprimand and that will stare
him in the face some time in the
future. The men are not allowed to
talk to the girls while on duty.
First to Mobilize
The First Pennsylvania Infantry
has been ordered to mobilize in
Philadelphia to-morrow. The en
tire regiment is scattered between
Philadelphia and Harrisburg on
guard duty at railroad bridges, it
will be replaced by special duty men
in employ of the Pennsy. It is ex
pected that the Third Regiment on
duty between here and Johnstown
will follow them to Philadelphia in
a short time.
The enlistment papers of the men
on the island are being gone over
and the men who are recent recruits
■will be inoculated in the very near
future. The men who saw border
service will escape that ordeal.
Eighth Filling l'p
Recruiting for the Eighth Regi
ment is progressing rapidly and un
less orders to move South come in a
short time it is believed the regi-1
ment will go recruited to full war
strength. Unless the notices for
drafted men to appear for examina
tion are posted within a short time,
at the present rate it will take a
week to till the regiment.
Fourteen men have enlisted this
week and been sent to the companies
that need men. Companies A and K.
of York, I?, of Tamaqua, F, at Hunt- j
Ingdon, and G, at Carlisle, all need
men. Recruits of any of the above •

rj EAR OIL
Trada i •
Mar * Improves Hearing, Relieves Head Noises
Nine out of ten cases of Deafness and Head Noises are caused by
catarrhal mucus (matter) In the Eustachian Tube, which connects the
nose and the ears. Leonard Ear Oil removes the mucus, opens up the
tube and the other air passages of the head, and the result is improved
Hearing and relief from Head Noises. It is not put in the ears, but is
Rubbed in Back of the Ears' and inserted In the nostrils, and "Com
mon Sense Directions for Care of Hearing," which accompanies each
bottle, tells ycu exactly how to take care of your own case. Do not be
misled by substitutes or Imitations. The only genuine "EAR OIL." is
A. O. Leonard Ear Oil. It Is the original and has been on the market
since 190 i, and every year It has relieved hundreds of people of their
Ear Troubles. No matter how long you have been deaf, nor how deaf
you are. or what caused your deafness, or how many things you have
already tried which have failed to relieve you, Leonard Ear Oil has
relieved many such cases as your own. Why not you?

Quinn Asks Fry to
Resign; Fry Says He .
Has No Reason To
C. F. Quinn, secretary of the Penn
sylvania State Federation of Labor,
to-day mad.' public the following
letter:
"It appears that Mr. Fry, now a
candidate for Council, is not going to
resign his present office of City Con
troller until he has been elected
Commissioner.
"By this conduct he is hardly act
ing wisely. He was elected for four
years of service and lie should keep j
his contract with the people. Of j
course he has a right to aspire to |
Council, but it is plainly his duty;
to tender his resignation, that the :
voters may elect his successor.
"It seems the third-class city law |
lodges no power anywhere for the
tilling of a vacancy in the con
trollership. Some other law, there
may be. of which lam unaware. It
is to be hoped that it is not a stupid
provision, empowering Council to se- j
lect a man to pass upon its acts. But j
whether or not, Mr. Fry should re-1
sign, so that the voters may have an |
opportunity to fill the vacancy. If j
not, then he should withdraw from j
the contest for Commissioner. Should i
he decline to do either, then it will i
be well for the voters to see that
he remain where he is till the end j
of his term."
When shown the foregoing letter
to-day Mr. Fry paid:
"It is true that I do not intend to
resign the controllership previous to
election. There is ample precedent
for this. Even candidates for the
Supreme Court of the State have not
resigned their minor judgeships |
when running for that high office.
Why limit this to me? Alderman
Hoverter is a candidate for Mayor,
hut he has not resigned. James
Thompson, City Assessor, is a candi
date for Council and he has not re
signed. Commissioner Gorgas is a
candidate for Mayor and he has not
resigned his commissionersliip. Al- j
derman Hilton is a candidate for i
Coroner and he has not resigned.
Senator Snyder held his office as sen
ator up to the very day ho was in- |
ducted into the office of Auditor!
General. These are only a very, very
few of many such instances. 1 can
not see any good reason why I should
be made an exception. The Clark
act does not require me to resign and
there is ample power for filling the
controllership after my election." i

MRS. DE SAULLES 1
CALLS FOR CHILD
KEPT FROM HER
Funeral Services Are Held
Today For Slain
Husband
By Associated Privs
Mineola, X. Y., Aug. B.—All mys
tery about John Longer De Saulles,
Jr., the four-and-a-half-year-old son
of Mrs. Bianca De Saulles, who shot
and killed her divorced husband last
Friday when he refused to give up
the child to her care, was cleared
to-day when he was found in the
care of G. Maurice Hecksclier, De
Snulies' business partner. Counsel
for Mrs. De Saulles was expected to
make an appeal to Mr. Ileckscher
to-day that the mother, who is con
lined in the county jail here on a
charge of first degree murder, might
bo allowed to see her son. Shoulq
this appeal fail it was said legal ac
tion probably would be taken.
Mrs. De Saulles, who *vas said to
be in a serious condition by three
physicians who examined her. has
been removed from the cell she oc
cupied to a room in the sheriff's
apartments of the building after Dr.
Gay F. C'leghorn, the county physi
cian, had said it was necessary that
she have better care. In a state
ment regarding Mrs. De Saulles' con
dition made public to-day Dr. Cleg
horn said: She is thin and wasted
and weighs less than 100 pounds.
She will have to be built up and
kept under observation, but there is
no reason why this should not be
done where she is. If she fails to
respond to treatment and grows
worse here, the question of remov:
ing her to a hospital can bo taken
up again."
Since Mrs. De Saulles bas been un
der arrest her one request has been
that she might be allowed to see
her son for a few minutes. Dr.
Cleghorn said it would do the wom
an a great deal of good to see the
boy and that only when his name
was mentioned did she display the
slightest interest in anything.

WANTS COUNCIL
TO PROVIDE FOR
REMOVING WIRES
City Electrician Will Ask to
Place Fire and Police Alarm
Underground in Park Zone
With the telegraph and telephone
companies in the city planning to re
move all wires in th§ Capitol Park
extension Kone and connect them with
present underground systems by the
use of conduits already placed in
Brigfjs street, City Electrician Clark
E. Diehl is preparing to ask Council
to provide for the removal of city
lire and police alarm wires.
According to Mr. Diehl, when the
present underground system is com
pleted connecting from the Mayor's
office to Court street and north in
Court street to Liberty it will cost
about $2,300 to complete the work
and connect the wires now in tha
park zone.
"Extensive preparations are under
way for the removal of the poles and
wires in the park zone," Mr. Diehl
continued. "The city should be pre
pared to take the police and fire
alarm wires down at the same time.
This will reduce the cost later if both
telephone and telegraph and the city
cables aro put in the conduits to
gether."
To Start Soon
Work on the underground system
in Court street will be started as
soon as the cable recently ordered is
shipped here. When completed all
overhead wires for the central'sec
tion connecting on poles in Court,
street will he removed. If Council
| provides funds for additional cable
|to continue the underground to
Eriggs and Cowden streets to con
nect all lines in the park zone, many
l more poles can be removed by the
end of the year, and another big step
taken in the preparation of the area
I for park development.
It is also reported that plans are
being considered which will result in
the placing of the Western Union
telegraph lines in the center of the
city in conduits and removing the
tall poles of the American Telephone
and Telegraph Company in Walnut
street, replacing the lines with un
derground systems.
