FROM COUNTY

Allowed; Steelton Negroes
Hire "Wives"
Four claims out of six were allow
ed by the district appeal board yes
terday in acting upon claims of men
from Dauphin county. The four cases
were those of men employed by the
Bethlehem Steel Company and whose
eployers filed claims for them. The
other two claims were filed on agri
cultural grounds.
The board at its session yesterday
acted on nearly 100 claims through

Sending Out Notices
To-day the clerks at the House

in sending out the reports of the ses

were turned down. Clerk Robert
Free Is certifying all the names of
those men who refused to claim ex
emption when examined by the local
boards and these naes will be re
turned to their respective boards in
sufficient time to warrant the sending
away of the required quota on Oc
tober 3.
An interesting claim, which shows
the present condition of help in the
financial district of upper Dauphin
county, was filed yesterday by the en
tire directorate of the Williams
Valley bank for Louis C. Bufflngton,
of Elizabethville.
Mr. Bufflngton is assistant cashier
in the First National bank at Eliza
bethville, and is at present helping
at the Wllfiamstown bank. The Wil

yoeman in the United States Navy,
and is stationed at Newport, R. 1.,
and Harry D. Edwards, the second
assistant is a first lieutenant in
Company G. Fourth Regiment, Na
tional Guards, and as a result the
working force of the bank is in a bod
shape. Mr. Buffington's services were
asked and he had Just become ac
customed to his new position when
he was called the draft. This
claim wrill be acted on at the meet
ing of the board to-morrow.
More Appeals to Wilson

.continue to pour into the headquar
ers of the loca ldistrict board and
the outcome of these claims is await

the farmers of Dauphin county and
vicinity.

Hire a "Wife"
At Steelton to-day the board will
finish acting on all the claims that
have been made to the board by all
those examined and expect to secure
a sufficient number to send away on
October 3. In acting on the claims
the board found many interesting
things. Principally, was the method
of some of the colored claimants of
SteeltorfT'These men by paying a
small sum of money secured a
negress to sign their affidavits so that
they ight claim a dependent wife.
The boar ddiscovered these tricks
and when the men were brought be
fore them, they acknowledged that
they thought it was-alright and their
explanation wa saccepted although
their claims were denied.
