10 ' —Photo by Rosho , CAN RIVERSIDE VOTERS BALLOT? NEW QUESTION Court Queries Right to Create Ward and Name Election Officers Now If Riverside is made a new ward In the decree of the Dauphin county court annexing it officially to Har risburg, can the voters ballot at the primary election? This question developed in court to-day when City Solicitor John E. Pox presented the petition for the' city asking for approval of annexation proceedings and a court order adding the territory to Harrisburg. If a new ward is created, a section of the Clark act provides: "The court shall in ease of the creation or new wards or ward, appoint the election officers and place for holding the first election of ward officers; and for that purpose may order a special election if said court shall deem the same necessary." Questions Hlght President Judge George Kunkef questioned the right of the court to annex the territory as a new ward, name election officers and permit them to serve at the primary election. "As the law reads the officers named by the court are only to serve at an election of ward officers, and until that is done the ward is not organ ized. I doubt if they could serve at aj primary election." The city's petition asks either for, addition of the annexed district to the Tenth ward, or the creation of a new ward. A petition signed by Riv erside residents asking for a new ward was presented at the same time. No provision is made in the Clark act in ease the annexed district is made part of an already existing and organized ward of a thind-class city. By making the Rivers,Me territory part of the Tenth ward city officials stated the voterti probably would not be disfranchised and could register! and vote in the Fourth precinct. Tenth ward. By the creation of a new ward, however, ■ doubt was expressed as to whether the residents could vote a* the primary election next week. In presenting his petition to the court, Solicitor Pox called attention to the lack of more definite and ca*e- , ful provision in the Clark act in case j of annexation. Judge Kunkel reserved his decision j when he received the petitions.

The inves- | tigating committee named by Con- i gress is expected to inquire into the < explosion of the Frankford Arsenal ot. Saturday, in which three men lost their lives and a score or more in jured. 'Two employes of the detonater manufacturing plant and the de tonator and primer dry houses in which the first explosion occurred were killed instantly and the third 'man died in a hospital. The arsenal officials and Coroner Knight believe the explosion was caused by the accidental dropping of a tray of detonators. This is mere ly supposition, however, and several inquiries are underway to determine the case. 207 INSTEAD OF 30 TO LEAVE FOR SOUTH [Continued from First Page.] and the three local boards are rap idly certifying men in order that the required number may be ready. Al ready there has been certified in Dauphin county, 133 men. To-day the Steelton board prepared a list of 112 men to be acted upon by the appeal board at Its meeting to-mor row. The Paxtang board has pre pared a list of men in addition to the seventy-one from this division that have been certified and the Ellza bethville board is expected to send in more names to-day. Two hundred and seven men is the required quota for the first con tingent according to latest orders and the Paxtang boiird Is the only board in Dauphin county to certify its required number. Steelton with twenty-seven certified must certify ninty-tliree more, and Elizabethville with thirty-five must certify twelve more. Whether or not the boards will examine any more men after this week is not known. Resume Examinations The-Elizabethville board and the Paxtang board resumed examining to-day after a layoff of a week dur ing which they prepared a list of names for the appeal board and also acted upon exemptions. The Steel ton board has not sent out any more calls and will not do so unless it is absolutely necessary. To date this board has examined 917 men. The Paxtang board examined forty-three men to-day. Fifty were called, but seven failed to show up. This is the first of the three hundred summoned in the third call. This board is the only one to have the required num ber of names certified for the first contingent. However, its quota is 199 and indications point to three hundred more being called from this district. By Monday the Paxtang board is expected to have completed examin ing BG7 men. If a fourth call is Is sued the numbers will reach up to 1,200 and this will be the largest number that will be called by any of the local boards. Appeal Board to Meet Everything is in readiness for the meeting of the appeal board in the House caucus rooms at the Capitol to-morrow morning at 9 o'clock. Re ports from all the boards in this dis trict have been received ami Clerk Robert Free has been engaged for the past few days in preparing a list of names for certification. To-mor row the district board will meet and be prepared to stay for the remain der of the week if necessary in or der to clean up the large amount of work that has accumulated since its last meeting. All agricultural and industrial claims will be acted upon first. Thero are a large number of these, principally from the farming district where the young men who have been passed claim that tilling the soil will be greatly hampered and in many instances stopped if they are forced to do. So many are these claims that it is possible that the board will have its hands full in coming to a decision. Much trouble has been caused by those claiming exemption on agricultural grounds. The majority have failed to support their claims by sufficient data and Information and these have been sent back for further information, thus causing double work. A sys tem has been inaugurated between the local and district boards and this system will do away with consider able inconvenience. The clerks at the local hoards have been furnished with the necessary information and papers so that each agricultural claimant cannot say that he does not know just what to do when he makes a claim. This has been the rule thus far, and this district board, like the rest throughout the state, is having Its troubles. Following the examining of these claims the board will then take lip the appeals from the decisions of the local boards. Xo. 3 Not Re<l>' When the Elizabethville draft hoard was notified to-day that the quota had been increased from five to thirty-five per cent, there was a little skepticism expressed as to whether or not that number would he ready. Already thirty-seven names have been certified by the appeal board and no other names have been sent in. The board will make an at tempt to send a list into the board for its meeting to-morrow and If suc cessful, the full quota will be assur ed, as only ten more men are neces sary. This board has called 813 men and it is very probable that three hundred more will be called soon. To-day the board resumed examina tions after a week's layoff. Fifty-five were examined and of this number forty-one passed and fourteen were rejected. Nine of thos* that passed did not claim exemption. TELEGRAPH BILLYGOATS EAT POSTERS FAST AS THEY ARE PASTED ON Paris Green Is the new color that is going to decorate the boards of the Harrisburg Bill Posting Com pany in the future. This new fad was decided upon by the representatives of that com pany in the short space of five min.utes at police headquarters this morning. The reason for the decision is a playful "billy goat" which gambols in the vicinity of South Cameron street, particularly in that portion of the street, where the billboards are most prominent. Billy's favorite pastime is eating bill posters. He has a wonderfully large appetite and also an aesthetic temperament, so as fast as the Har risburg company's representative sticks up his bills, "Billy" eats them. CITY UNITES TO HONOR LAST UNIT OF GUARD [Continued from First Page.] leads, with the City Grays Veteran Association occupying right of line; the Spanish American War Veterans, etc. Division 2 is composed of fra ternal organizations and the em ployes of Harrisburg stores. The Elks have the right of line, led by the Commonwelth Band. In this division are employes of Bowman's. Dives, Pomeroy & Stewart, Kauf man's. the City Furniture Dealers, Strouse's and the Loyal Order of Moose. Doutrich's have the cele brated Uniformed Hussar band of Palmyra, presenting an impressive appearance. Troop C as Escort The third division is composed of the deparing guardsmen, led by the Eighth Regiment band. The Governor's Troop is acting as an es cort to the departing soldiers, march ing directly In front of Company 1, and followed by the headquarters company, the supply company, the machine gun company and the medi cal detachment. Since receiving the word that the soldiers at the Island were to leave to-day that place has been a scene of great activity. Most of the tents were struck yesterday, Harrisburg boys spending the night with their families. At an early hour this morn ing the equipment was prepared for shipment and shortly after daybreak automobile trucks piled high with a miscellaneous assortment of boxes and bundles were on their way to the Pennsylvania siding at Forster street, where the cars were loaded. The tents and personal effects are be ing carried with the soldiers, in a special car attached to each train. 30-Hour Trip Due to the fact that so many troops are being moved at one time, it is impossible to determine when the boys of the Eighth Regiment will reach Camp HancocK, Georgia. In fact, it has not been definitely stated that Camp Hancock Is to be the des tination, but that the Georgia train ing camp is to be the home of the Harrisburg boys. Is the common be lief. Ordinarily, the regular trip be tween Harrisburg and Augusta, Ga., is made in thirty-six hours. It is likely that the troops will be enroute three days, and possibly a longer time may be required for the trip. Because of the hour set for leav ing, arrangements have been made to serve the evening meal on the cars. Rations for live days were placed on tho cars yesterday. The troop trains are being routed byway of the Cumberland Valley railroad. This afternoon, big dem onstrations are being held in Cham bersburg and Carlisle. The com panies there will be taken on by the troop trains as they pass through those towns. Last Religious Service Thousands of persons from this city and surrounding towns participated in the farewell religious service at Hargest Island last evening. The Rutherford Y. M. C. A. male quartet rendered several selections The services were in charge of the Rev. Harry Nelson Bassler, chaplain of the Eighth Regiment. Tho Rev. Mr. Bassler made the opening prayer and introduced the Rev. Clayton Al bert Smucker, pastor of Stevens Me morial Methodist Church, who de livered a brief addres from the text. "Ye Then Who Are Strong Ought to Bear the Infirmities of the Weak." "The greatest power in the world," said the speaker, "is not the power of the German kaiser, neither the power of the allied armies of many nations, but the power of Jesus | Christ. His sovereignty Is swayed over all men, and tells In every life. Jesus, while on the earth, spoke to the people kindly. He instructed them, he fed the body and the soul, and he does that even now. What is more beuatifu, grand, sublime than the altogether lovely character of Jesus Christ, as revealed to man? Stooping while on earth to wash His disciples' feet, at the same time he told them that lie was their Lord :.nd Master, an heir of David, yet compassionate." From this point the speaker en larged his theme, using illustrations from the Bible and from Bunyon's Pilgrim Progress. He told a story of a lamp lighter, who lighted his lamps for but one night. "When you go to France." said Dr. Smucker, "remember that you are about to fire the beacon lights that will burn through all generations to come. You will be offering your country the greatest sacrifice that man is capable of—a sacrifice of your life if need be that other men may live and be free." Another Parade Tomorrow Another great demonstration will be held to-morrow for the mem bers of Troop C, the Governor's Troop. The organizations and indi viduals who are in line to-day are requested to make ip-morrow's parade an immense sifVress. There have been several parades lately, and many persons may feel that they cannot participate in all, but It is a little thing that committee asks compared with the sacrifice the men of the troops will be asked to make. The Governor's Troop Is an organ ization deserving high honors from the people of Harrisburg. Most of the members are resident Harris burgers, and this city will leave no This situation remained unchanged for some time until the representa tive lost his 'goat." Rushing into the police headquarters this morn ing, he said in one breath: "By eolly. I want protection." "From what?" inquired the clerk at the desk. The man then told his story, and demanded a remedy. The clerk after looking through the police book of cures advised the man to change the color of his bills and put on a. color that would eventually make the goat sick. The man thought this a fine idea and as a result "Paris Green" is the latest fashion for bill posting. Latest reports state that the "Billy Goat" is alive and weil and is still enjoying a feast on the portraits of Annette Kellerman and other stars. stone unturned to make to-mor row's celebration one worth remem bering. The exact hour of departure is not known. The ringing of bells ana blowing of whistles will an nounce that the parade is about to form. Already, a number of bands have been secured for the farewell purade for Troop C.

M'CORMICK TUESDAY [Continued from First Page. J Springs church for a number of years. Public-Spirited Citizen Mr. MoCormick from early man hood regarded his large fortune more in the light of a stewardship en trusted to him than as personal pos session. From that standpoint he administered it according to his deep religious convictions and very largely for the benefit of the community and those persons less fortunately situ ated whom he believed needed his help. Wherever misfortune occurred and he knew of the circumstances there he was, as soon as possible, to offer aid and comfort. Particularly was this true with regard to mem bers of the Sunday school class that for many years bore his name, one of the largest in the country, by the way, and a pioneer among the men's Bible classes of the word. He early saw the need of men in the church and his methods of interesting them have been followed in the nation wide campaigns which have built up hundreds of such classes as he start ed at Pine street in his young man hood. In a hundred varied ways the city felt his influence, and always for good. Countless young divinity stu dents went through college partly on Mr. McCormick's money, and never knew whence the assistance came. Dozens of needy ministers received the gift of libraries from him, and to this day are not aware whence the benefactions came. Mr. McCormick's foresight and thoughtfulness were Illustrated in his early support of the Public Li brary, now meeting such a large need in the life of the city, in his organization of the savings bank system that preceded the thrift cam paigns of the present day and in his interest in the Y. M. C. A., which, during his association with it occu pied the place in Harrisburg it is just beginning agpin to assume. Mr. McCormick was a man of sim ple manners and tastes. He was an extensive reader end a great Bible student. He lived quietly and in re cent years did not mingle much with people. But he kept in constant touch with affairs and used his in fluence extensively in every public betterment plan that came to his at tention. Born Here in 18S2 Mr. McCormick was the second son of James and Eliza Buehler Mc- Cormick and was born in this city, October 31, 1832. He received his early education in the Harrisburg public schools and later attended the Harrisburg Academy and Captain Partridge's Military Institute. In 1855 he was graduated from Yale and came home to study law under his father and was admitted to the bars of Dauphin and Cumberland counties. After his father's death he gave up the practice of law and managed the estate left by his father. Believer in City Beautiful Mr. McCormick was at one time a member of the Park Commission and with the help of the late John Hof fer, laid the foundation for Harris burg's wonderful park system. He was public spirited and was always an active and Interested worker in all undertakings which would bene fit or beautify the city. One of the largest Bible classes in the country was taught by Mr. McCormick while he was an active elder in the Pine Street Presbyterian Church. Many homes have felt the good influence of his personality and he was widely respected and deeply loved by those he had befriended. On the Fourth of July, Mr. Mc- Cormick used to hold corn and wa termelon picnics for members of his classes and for the men at Camp Lambs' Gap. They were widely look ed forward to, and for years were in stitutions in the life of the city. Men Mho were broken down in health and unabfe to coup with life's battles received aid from the Help ing Hand Mission which he started in a little room in the rear of the Ohev Sliolom synagogue in South street All of his good work was done with out any publicity and he was well known as a benevolent and kindly friend among the poor and needy. Found Library" In the Young Men's Christian As sociation, Mr. McCormick served for ono term as president of the local organization and was a member of the international committee. Another association of which Mr. McCormick was an originator was the Harrisburg Public Library. He served as its first president. Besides giving much time to charitable institutions, the Harris burg Hospital and numerous other semi-public organizations, he was a successful banker and it was he who started the dime savings as sociation and paid all expenses un til it was well established. This work continued for eighteen years and Its depositors numbered over 600,000. He was associated with the Dauphin SEPTEMBER 10, 1917. Deposit Bank as cashier, and when this bank later became the Dauphin County Trust Company he became its first president. Gave Park to City The founding of the Harrisburg Hospital was partly due to his ef forts. He was the first president and served in this capacity for many years. The boys and girls of the city are! indebted to Mr. McCormick for Mc- Cormick's Island which he gave to \ the Park Commission for summer qamps and park purposes. He is survived by five sons, Henry Jr., James, Jr., Donald and Robert of this city, and William, of Reading, and a daughter, Mrs. William W. i Finney, of Aberdeen, Md. His wife, who was Miss Mary Wilson Airicks, was a daughter of Herman and Mary Kerr Alricks. She died in 1891. Burial will be made in the family plot in the Marrisburg Cemetery.
