in Steelton while the other is a
resident of Middletown. The ma-
Jority of the 77 men are either for
eigners or negroes. Some are be
lieved by the boards to have enlisted.
Of the sixty-two men who failed
to appear before the Paxtang board
nineteen are believed to have en
listed but no notice to that effect has
been received front their command
ing officers. As a result their names
are still on the list. Just as soon
as word has been received from
them they will bo removed and certl
fled as enlisted. Some of the others
whose names appear on this list are
thought to have enlisted but nothing
has been heard of them since regis
tration. The rest of the list is com
posed of foreigners. The Paxtang
board Is not sending the names to
the police. Instead they are waiting
the ten required days and then are
certifying them to the appeal board
as not appearing.
As a result of their nonappearance
these men will lose the right of ap
peal nn.d if they pass the physical
examination they will have to go to
war whether they want to or not.

The Steelton and Paxtang boards*
were to-day preparing lists to send!
to the appeal board lor certirtcatlonj
The Paxtang board is making
for the resumption of examinational
next week. The board has called!
three hundred men and these will bq
examined at the rate of tifty a dayy
starting Wednesday. According tai
Indications and reports the seconcw
<liiota of men will leave this districts
about October 6. Both the Steeltow
board and the Paxtang board ares
wondering where they will get thai
men. Forty per cent, is to be sentj
with the second contingent. Thiol
means 80 from the Paxtang districts
and 102 from the Steelton districtj
Both these boards sent nearly all thdj
men they had to date with the flrste
contingent. The Steelton board haai
examined 90 extra and the Paxtang l
board has called 300 more In ordec
to meet the demand.
Humors of Graft
At the headquarters of one ofl
the local boards In Dauphin countyj
a rumor has been started which- iu
true, will cause considerable trouble)
for those connected. It is stated that
a man acting as Interpreter, during;
examinations made considerable
money outside of what was paid to
him by the government. It is al
leged that this man who Is of for
eign birth, gained the confidence of
some of his countrymen, and agreed
for a sum of money to set them free
from any obligations to enter tha.
service of the United States—a thing
Impossible to do. As a result the
man secured as much as 125 from,
one man and sums ranging from $5
up. The board professes Ignorance.
At the appeal board to-day the
tiling of claims and appeals occupied
the larger part of the day.
The Elizabethville board has sent
out calls for three hundred more
men. They will resume examining
next week. This week the board
straightened out the matters that
accumulated during the days when
the men were sent away with the
tlrst contingent This board has sent
away practically all the men which
they have on hand and unless the
appeal board acts upon, the claims
of the men from this district It will
be a hard Job for the board to get
the necessary 40 per cent ready for
October 5.
