4 MAN IN AUTO IS SHOT BY HIGHWAYMAN Police Unable to Find Assail ant of Samuel Rutherford, Who Was Robbed A bold holdup occurred near Pen brook shortly after 8 o'clock last night when Samuel Rutherford, aged twenty-five, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Francis Rutherford, of Rutherford Heights, was robbed of about JSO. Hutherford was fortunate to escape with his life. The young man is connected with tho Rutherford Quarries, opposite Paxtang Park. He did not leave his> work until late last evening, driving home in his car. When midway be tween Paxtang and Penbrook, while slowing down to round a curve, some one called to him. Rutherford checked | Ills machine, and a man sprang upon | the runningboard of the car. It was riuite dark and the autoist did not] notice that the man had a gun until | he was commanded to hold up anil j deliver. "•hot 111 Arm In checking his machine, Ruther- , ford choked the engine, and was un able to get away. He made a lunge, at his assailant, believing the man to] lie alone. As he threw up his arm to; iftish the man from the car. some one shot him in the arm. A moment later ! lie received a severe blow upon the head and lapsed into unconsciousness. I When Itutherford came back to re- j alization of his surroundings, he was alone. His pockets had been rilled . and his money was gone. The young j man staggered from his car and at- | tempted to crank the machine. It i was then he learned that he was un able to use his right arm. After con- | siderable effort he managed to crank the machine by using his left hand, i Rutherford was brought to the of- i flee of Dr. F. W. Coover in Pine ! street. An examination showed that j a bullet had passed through the bleep muscles of the light arm. lie also suffered a serious blow upon the head. As it was very dark at the point where the robbery occurred, it was impossible to determine whether the crime was committed by one or more persons, and he is unable to furnish a good description. He is of the opin ion that two or nioVe persons partici pated in the holdup, and is convinced that he was fortunate in escaping as lie did with minor injuries. The robbery was reported to the county authorities, but all efforts to locate the bold hold-up men have been futile. West End Democrats Discuss City Politics i The outcome of the fall campaign I was discussed by the West End Democratic Club af their cornroast last evening, and many enthusiastic speeches were made.

THURSDAY EVENING QUIET IN COUNTY; WARM IN THE CITY Republicans Show Up Well at Primaries; Hot Fight For Councilinanic Places The primary campaign in the county district is proceeding very quietly. The Democrats have so little hope of electing any of their candi dates this fall, that there is no in terest in it on that side of the politic al fence and for the larger offices to be tilled there is so little in the way of contest on the Republican side that the usual canvassing is not nearly so vigorous as usual. Charles K. Pass, the Republican candidate for prothonotary, is so popular throughout the county that when he announced himself as a candidate, nobody else got into the field, lie will be nominated without opposition and his election is certain. Mr. Pass is known to thousands of people throughout the district being much in demand as a speaker at lodge gatherings and community celebrations. For many years he was in the employ of the llarrisburg Foundry and Machine Works and left that institution to connect him self with one of tho big baking com panies of the city. He was elected poor director years ago by the largest majority ever accorded a candidate for that office but recently has not been a candidate. For county controller Henry W. Gough has no opposition and will be re-elected by an old-time majority. Jacob Eckinger and Edward J. Hil ton. are candidates for coroner, which place Eckinger now holds and whose friends say he will be re nominated by a substantial vote. In the city the contests are more vigorous and tho tight for council Is especially brisk, it being to a very large degree every man for himself and very few if any combinations. I„ouis J. Houseal, a former council man. has jumped suddenly to the front as a favorite and is showing up >vell. An other especially strong can didate is Dewitt Fry, also a former councilman and at present city con troller. Fry made a great run as an independent two years ago and won out for controller against a big Held, beating the favorites of both the Re publican and Democratic organiza tions. His friends say he will repeat his victory this year. Charles P. Walter, candidate for council, lias adopted a novel plan to gain a few more friends and some publicity. He is writing letters to the newspapers on municipal subjects. Dr. Samuel F. Hassler, former county treasurer, and once candidate for mayor, is get ting around vigorously, as is Thomas P. Moran, who is making a strong play for union labor and military support, he having records along both lines. Those who have been attempting to size up the situation give it as their opinion that Edward L. Rink enbach, the uptown jeweler, and Charles W. Rurtnett. of the Evans- P.urtnett firm, are almost certain to be well up on the list of those nom inated. CANDIDATES LOSE I MANDAMUS FIGHT I Dauphin County Court Rules Petitions Were Not Filed as Required Frank T.

O'NEILTOMAKE HASTE SLOWLY Does Not Propose to Turn Things Upside Down; Bor oughs to Be Awakened J. Denny O'Neil, the new State Highway Commissioner, is dispoed to work out his problems in the Highway Department gradually and will not turn things inside out, but, according to his own words, try to get results and talk about them afterward. Reports that he contem plated wholesale changes in the de partment were denied to-day. The new commissioner spent some time late yesterday and again this morn ing in conference with men in charge of work and told them to go ahead. The new commissioner started right in to-day in his effort to induce boroughs to co-operate with the stats in improving borough streets which are parts of the state main highway system. He asked for reports show ing where conditions were bad and will communicate with authorities. In a statement of his views Mr. O'Neil said: "The congestion of the railroads has made it necessary to move a large tonnage by automobiles and trucks. Quick transportation by automobiles of ammunition and sup plies may be a big factor in winning the war and it will be our aim to try to build connecting links and to place existing roads in such a con dition as to meet (his traffic. "A majority of tho automobiles and trucks for eastern cities are brought from Detroit and Cleveland by road in order to avoid the freight congestion. "There are good roads between Pittsburgh and Cleveland, with the exception of a few miles in Ohio and Pennsylvania near the State line. The Ohio Highway Department will be asked to co-operate with Penn sylvania in trying to lihve this por tion of tho road improved. "Another Important work will be undertaken. Anyone accustomed to traveling through the State knows the bad condition, often dangerous, of many of the improved State high ways where they pass through bor oughs. An attempt will be made to bring about co-operation with the boroughs whereby such sections can be Improved by the State and bor oughs. and paying part of the cost. "Toll roads are a relic of the past. There should not be a single one in Pennsylvania and it will be the policy of the department to free the roads as fast as money is available, pro viding the corporations owning the above roads artr reasonable. "The plan of oiling the roads will also be changed somewhat. Only one side of the road will be oiled at a time and after it has dried the other side will be oiled. This will leave part of the road open for traffic at all times and avoid the damaging of automobiles. This plan was adopted by me when commissioner of Alle gheny county and worked very suc cessfully."

Russian Armies Retreat Under Great Difficulty With Enemy Pressing On By Associated Press Petrograd, Sept. 6.—The retreat of the Russians from Riga over a neck about a mile and a half wide between lake Kish and lake Kgel is being accomplished with the greatest difficulty and with the enemy constantly shelling the rear guard. This route is along the Pskoff railway and is the only exit from the cul-de-sac, the German column having moved up from Ux kull direction, cutting off the Rus sian retreat to the southeast. The civilian head of the war min istry, Boris Savinltoff, has issued a statement saying that the success of the measure which will be taken to check the advance "depends wholly upon the behavior of our troops." Despite reports of the disgraceful flight of certain elements of Rus sian defenders of Riga positions, military commentators praise the herr-ism of certain regiments who fought bravely to stem the tide of retreat. The chief of the general staff, General Romanoffsky expressed the opinion that the evacuation con stitutes no imminent menace to Petrograd because the . neair ap proach of the rainy season will pre vent the enemy from advancing far in the direction, of the capital. The danger of a descent upon the coast nearer to Petrograd is also dis counted in official circles for like reasons and the additional difficulty tho enemy would find in maintaining communication with a detached force The newspapers take a gloomier view of the situation. Russky In valid, the least pessimistic in its expressions, finds nothing definitely hopeless in the situation if our troops have not forgotten that they are Hussians and if some brilliant officers arc found among them who are ready to do their duty." Special committees from the regi ments of the Petrograd garrison have been appointed to work out a plan for the defense of the capital. Fall of Riga Brings New German Army Commander Into Mach Prominence By Associated Press Copenhagen, Sept. fi.—The capture by the Germans of Riga has brought out the name of a new German armv commander. Von Hutier, whose recent promotion to leadership of an independent army is one of the few examples of young blood for forcing its way to the top through the serried ranks of older generals and superannuated officers. Von Hutier, who is of French de scent, his grandfather having been a French officer, was a guard division commander at the outbreak of the war, and until the capture of Riga he had some striking evidence to his credit. His ohief-of-staff. General Sluberzwelg was for' a time Field Mnrshal Von Mackensen's chlef-of staff and later was transferred to Belgium where his name gained un desirable prominence in connection with the execution of Miss Edith Cavell, the British nurse. Prince Eitel Friedrich, comman der of the first guard division, which Raptured Tarnopol, participated in i the operations at Riga. Evacuation Reported Under Way in Flanders Paris, Sept. 6. —The Havas Agency has received the following dispatch from Hazebrouck, France: "Western Flanders is being evac uated as far as the line of-Courtrai- Thourout. It was learned to-day that many refugees are being cared lor at Ghent, large numbers of them arriving from Roulers (northeast of Ypres), which the English are bom barding ceaselessly. "The population of Courtrai has been authorized by the German mili tary officers to leave if they desire, and a majority of them have de parted- Refugees from Northern France and Flanders are going to Llmburg." It is not plain from the foregoing dispatch whether the Germans are preparing to withdraw their military forces from a large strip of Flanders or are merely removing the civilian population. The civilian evacuation row and Saturday it will receive an swers to this problem.

Germans Suffer Little Defehting Russ Army By Associated Press Copenhagen, Sept. 6.—The Ber lin Tageblatt's correspondent on the Riga front, describing the passage of the Dvina river, says this was accomplished without the loss of a man, thanks to the effectiveness of the German artillery and mine throwers. The Germans had tas sembled a greater number of mine throwers than ever before and brought them into action after the regular artillery had bombarded the first and second lines for several hours. * The effect of the mine bombard ment was literally overwhelming. Houses were reduced to fine dust, and the demoralized Russian sur vivors fled. Bridges were thrown across the Dvina, at this point four hundred yards wide, by which storming parties crossed and as saulted the fire line heights. Other bridges in the meantime were being constructed, and the whole army was soon crossing, while the regi mental bands played. The whole operation was carried out at such little cost that three divisions which were in the thick of the fighting had total casualties amounting to only 150 dead or wounded. Battle Near Gorizia Is Now Raging More Fiercely Than Ever By Associated Press Udlne, Italy, Sept. 6.—The Aus trian command has succeeded in con centrating again such numbers of lresh troops and artillery removed from the Russo-Rumanlan and Balkan fronts that the battle is rag ing again more fiercely than ever, especially east of Gorizia and north west of the Hermada, in the Carso area. The Austrians are still in posses sion of what is called the sentinel of Gorizia, Monte San Gabrlele. which dominates both the Isonzo valley and the southern part of the Bainzizza plateau, but all the surrounding sup ports of this stronghold are gradually falling into the hands of the Italians, so that the network' of fortifications which the enemy had spread along this section is little by little being > ...

According to the meager advices received, the soldiers were from tho Guaymas garrison and were being transported by barge with a number of horses and a quantity of military equipment from Point Isabella to Labolsa, Sonora. The barge was In tow of a government tug. A sudden squall Is said to have capsized the barge, which was re ported to be one of the number origi nally constructed for river work and unstable in a running sea. Carranza offlciajs at the harbor points last night disclaimed any defi nite information of the disaster, but stated it was probably a correct re port. They said the barges have been used frequently for transpovi work lately. They also said that a troop movement of the character de scribed was known to have been ordered. The report said the squall which caused the capsizing of the barge prevented the tug from rendering assistance to the struggling men. FIRE DEPARTMENT IS NOW MOTORIZED Eighteen Modern Pieces Are in Use; Horses Soon to Go Harrisburg's entire fire department is completely motorized, with the ex ception of three chemical wagons, which will be in service next week, and within the next two weeks all the remaining pieces of horse-drawn apparatus will be removed from the the firehouses and turned over to the manufacturing companies who built the motorized trucks. There are eighteen pieces motorized and in service now, not including the chief's car. Three others will be here next week. These are distributed as follows: Friendship, steamer and chemical and hose wagon; Hope, steamer and chemical wagon; Citizen, tractorized steamer and now chemical wagon; Washington, chemical wagon; Mt.

Two additional Are alarm boxes will be placed within the next few weeks also. Most of the new hose which was purchased re cently has been received and will be tested soon. Nine hose driers are being built so that each company hav ing a chemical and hose wagon will be equipped with drying facilities to prevent the hose from rotting. All the new apparatus which has been shipped has reached the city without being damaged, with the ex ception of the ladder truck for the Allison Hill Company. The machine tore loose from its fastenings in the big freight car in which it was shipped, but was only slightly dam aged. One of the headlights was smashed and several rods were bent. Harrisburg i one of the first cities i- the State to motorize its entire tire department, even though it is a volun teer service system. With the addi tion of two pumpers to the depart ment. the city has addioional facilities for increasing water pressure at seri ous fires. Both these pieces are sta tioned in residential districts, which heretofore were afforded little pro tection because of lack of sufficient apparatus for pumping water.
