The most exciting feature of the trip was the killing of half a dozen snakes that appeared one at a time in the April sunshine. The young Americans rested long enough at the upper end of Wild wood Lake to partake of ft lunch — a lunch which was relished by espe cially one section of fie school; for by agreement of the pupils the sec tion which scored the most hundreds in daily work since February 1, was to be entertained on this hike by the losing section. After luncli the crowd proceeded to the first Rockville mountain where it was suggested that the school climb to the top, to the place where the American flag was planted.

Another man, John Riley Lindsay, 258 North street, who reg istered at Evansville, Indiana, was sent by Hoard 1 with its contingent at the request of the Indiana board. The remainder of the men were fur nished by the county boards. The men entrained in a three-car special train, made up at Harris burg for them. There were two coaches and a kitchen car, which comprise the living quarters of the embryo soldiers until this afternoon at 5 o'clock when they will reach the camp. More From West Eight more cars bearing the men from Erie and intermediate points, were attached to the Harrisburg train. A contingent of men from Elmira and points between there and this city, who arrived here over the Philadelphia and Reading lines, was transferred to the special with the other quotas. Seven hundred men were in the special that left here to-day. Another contingent was picked up at York. The district boards announced their quotas yesterday, and the men appeared before their exemption boards for instructions and advice. This morning there was nothing fur ther to do but assemble the men at the exemption board headquarters and march them to the train. Prior to their departure, the chairmen of the various boards distributed tags bearing the words "Selective Serv ice." and the number of the dis trict board. A similar tag was placed on the suitcase of the reg istrant. While there was no organized demonstration to mark the depar ture of the quotas, none of the men felt that the departure was in any way unmarked by thqse who re mained behind. There was a numer ous gathering of friends and well wishers at the station to see the men off, and a crowd was on the plat form to bid the passengers God speed. In spite of the fact that mothers, wives and sweethearts tried to lie cheerful, there were many furtive dabbings at their eyes by those who came to say goodby. In onp or two instances, especially among the moth ers of the departing lads, it was im possible to keep from breaking down, and signs of tears were plentiful at the scene of departing. The station platform was crowded, but in most instances both the departing and re maining. showed a- cheerful spirit r.f resignation to the exigencies of the situation. Among the men who were leaving, there was every evidence of a de termination to "see the thing through," and not one man seemed to regret going. "While it isn't pleas ant, we've got to see the thing through, and we'll do It" was t.he uni versal spirit expressed by the men. The members of the three city boards accompanied their quotas to the train. At the station a gentle man passed among the men, giving each of them a handful of cigars, and wishing him well. A man was appointed to act as loader of each district quota by the three city boards. Harry Aldinger was leader' of the first district quota; Robert J. Nickolson of the second board, and William G. Hokes of dis trict 3.

HEAVY VOTING MARKS ELECTION IN WISCONSIN Three Candidates Confident of Success in Senatorial Contest By Associated Press Milwaukee, Wis., April 2.—Early voting in the special Senatorial elec tion in Wisconsin which is to de termine who shall fill the vacancy In Congress caused by the death of Senator Paul Husting, was unusually heavy. The candidates are Congressman Irvine L. Lenroot, Republican: Joseph E. Davies, Democrat, and Victor L. Berger, Socialist. The campaign closed last night, each claiming victory. Democratic leaders claim the cities will go heavily Democratic and overcome Lenroot's strength in the country, Berger predicted a Social ist landslide in Milwaukee county, and said he would pick up enough votes in the German counties along the shore of X<ake Michigan to elect him. ' . LOYALTY TEST VOTE By Associated Press Chicago, April 2.—Loyalty to the government was the leading issue to day in the Aldermanic election in the thirty-five wards of the city. Chief interest centers in the out come in the six wards where So cialists who endorsed the St. Louis platform of that party are the can didates. In these wards the cam paign was marked by frequent fights at the political meetings. In half a dozen other wards the contest has been between the candidates favor ed by Mayor William Hale Thomp son and opponents of the city ad ministration. Express Merger Plans Ready Within a Week; Differ on Capitalization Wanliloitton, April 2.—Merging of Ihe express companies under a new corporation, to operate them as a unit and work out a basis for dis tribution of profits, is under consid eration between the railroad admin istration and representatives of the companies. An announcement is ex pected within a week. Conclusion of an agreement has been held up, it was learned to-day, by difficulties in developing a plan for apportioning the stock of the new company, which would have vir tually a monopoly of express busi ness in the United States. The rail road administration would make a contrifrt with the single company for hauling express matter, taking ap proximately half of the transport re ceipts. The capitalization of the new com pany also is the subject of consid erable difference of opinion. Other leading companies—Adams, Amer ican and Wells-Fargo—claim a phys ical valuation of their transportation property of approximately $30,000,- 000. An additional several million dollars cash for operation will be re quired. Express companies and some railroad administration advisers ad vocate higher capitalization with al lowance for good will and other in tangible assets. The plan for a unified express business is the outgrowth of earlier suggestions from the express com panies that their concerns be taken over and operated during the war, as the railroads have been, with the guarantee of average earnings for the three years ending last June. This would have meant a Govern ment payment of more than $1,000,- 000 a year and opposition developed on the ground that this would prob ably result in loss to the Govern ment. Pennsylvania Troops Get Ready to Sail Camp Hancock, Augusta, Ga., April 2.—The Keystone division is being rapidly recruited to war strength. The arrival at Camp Han cock yesterday of 600 recruits from the West and the expected arrival of 1,000 or more recruits to-day is taken to indicate the early departure of the Pennsylvanians for France. New equipment, new guns and other apparatus needed in modern warfare are coming in. This division is now 100 per cent, equipped and ready for departure. The insignia of the 28th division— a keystone—is being placed on all property of the Pennsylvania units. All literature, letterheads and like bear this insignia. The keystone lias different colors to distinguish the various units. In many respects the color of the keystone is like that of the hat cords worn by the men of the different branches of service. Councilmen Inspect New Piggeries For First Time Following the session of Council this morning, the Commissioners, with other city officials, left in au tomobiles for an inspection trip to the piggery maintained by Hagy Brothers, contractors for garbage collections in the city. At preseijt the pigs are being kept in a barn and farmyard at the Nissley farm, northeast of the city, where Hagy tyrothers have located. A modern piggery will be started soon, it was said. Few complaints have been re ceived about the garbage collection service, the officalF said INDIANA GOES DKY TODAY Man on More Than One-Half Per Out. of Alcohol in Drinks Indianapolis, Ind., April 2.—This state goes "bone dry" to-day. Fea tures of the new law include the fol lowing: It defines intoxicating liquors as beverages containing more than one half of one per cent, of alcohol. The sale of patent medicines with high alcoholic contents, where they are to be used as a beverage, is for bidden. The law prohibits the sale or man ufacture of powders that might be used as a mixture in . making in toxicating drinks. No sale of liquor may be adver tised in Indiana in any manner. The holding of a United States liquor tax receipt is to be prima facie evidence that the holder is en gaged in the sale of liquor. A man testifying regarding viola tion of the law by others becomes exempt from prosecution. G. A. STEARNS APPOINTED G. A. Stearns, of Kingsley, county school superintendent of Susquehan na county, was to-day appointed statistical clerk In the Department of Public Instruction to succeed U. C.

Commissioner Gross during the discussion said the officials recogniz ed the need of a general contagious disease hospital but under the pres ent conditions with the'need of labor and materials for the government, plans could not be made now. He declared he was in favor of submit ting the question to the voters to de cide on a loan to pay for the cost of a new institution. Other commissioners made in quiries about treatment of patients, their need of medical attention and other conditions at the present hos pital. When assured that there was no need to have a medical attendant there all the time and that other reports about neglect were not true, one of the officials said, "Probably they think we are running a summer resort out there and want us to let the place for that purpose." Dr. Hassler assured the council men if any patients were brought to the hospital and needed constant at tention a mirse would be provided at once, according to arrangements which have been made. Harry W. Keeny, 721 Capital street, of Miller Bros. & Company, and Dewitt A. Fry, city controller, were appointed as assistant assessors to-day to help City Assessor James C. Thompson, in making the tri ennial assessment. Commissioner Lynch presented the contract and bond of William Optferman for the construction of an eight-inch sewer in Schuylkill street, to a point 165 feet east of Fifth street, -and an ordinance di recting that all traffic in Kline alley from Cranberry to Locust streets, should be southward. This was peti tioned for by residents and property owners in Second street, as the alley is at the rear of the properties. Commissioner Burtnett introduced an ordinance awarding a contract for workmen's compensation insur ance for city employes to the United States Fidelity and Guaranty Com pany. He presented for approval the bond of City License Tax Officer William D. Block. Nnmoil Assistant Chemist Upon recommendation by Com missioner Hassler, Miss Rachel Dar by was appointed as assistant to the acting chemist at the city filter plant. A motion extending the time limit for closing the sidewalks In Walnut and Third streets, to July 1, was in troduced by Commissioner Lynch, as the present construction work at the Penn-Harris hotel makes it dan gerous to open the pavement for pedestrians. Commissioner Lynch in cluded in the motion a suggestion that an agreement should be made with the construction company to release the city from all damages while the work is going on. The ordinance requiring property owners or occupants within three days after notice from the water de partment, to repair all leaks or breaks in pipes was passed finally. The ordinance imposes a penalty and gives the department authority to turn the water off, make repairs and charge the costs to the owner or occupant. LOOK!!!
