Through the courtesy and co-op

ditional grandstands have been
erected to accommodate the thou
sands who have purchased advance

erected their booths? to furnish re
freshments. The Red Crows will

who are now with the Tanks, will
give diversity to the program with
their special stunts. Sprinters,
broad jumpers, pole vaulters, ham

ing college records, have been drawn
from the ranks to furnish entries
for the other events.

YANKEE BOXER
GETS K.O. AT FRONT
"I Got Mine," Says Army
Champion, Who Tackled
Carpentier
One of the best war-sporting
stories that has reached America is
that of the very confident Yank
boxer who showed the true Yankee
blood and sense of humor. That
Georges Carpentier, the French
heavyweight, has not lost his punch
ing or boxing skill as a result of his
three years' service in the Army was
conclusively demonstrated recently
at the expense of this American
boxer who took ring liberties with
the French pugilist. It was Sergeant
Ray William, of the American Army,
who tried to rough it with Carpen
tier in the first round of a boxing
exhibition at St. Aignan, Loir-et-
Cher. As a result William was
knocked out in the second round
and the memory of that right swing
to the chin will linger in Sergeant
William's memory for years to come.
A crowd of more than 10,000 wit
nessed the athletic sports at St.
Aignan, General Cottez, of the
French Army, presided, with Brig
adier Generals Alexander and Vol
ruth, of the American Army assist
ing.
I After Anderson had won the hun
dred yards in 12 seconds, the 220 in
[2B and Steele had broken the tape
| for the mile race in 4.35 minutes,
la four-round, or rather whjt was to
have been a four-round boxing ex
hibition, was put on with the French
champion, Georges Carpentier, and
Sergeant Ray William as the con
testants. Cheered by his friends
among the spectators William start
ed in with a rush that nearly took
the French champion off his feet, he
planted some heavy blows to the
head and body and Carpentier was
surprised; he had expected a mere
sparring exhibition. William had
the best of the first round and was
loudly applauded as he went to his
corner. It was plain to all that Car
pentier meant business when he
stepped out for the second round. He
feinted William into a knot, jabbed
him lightly in the stomach with his
left which caused the American to
lower his guard and crossed his
right to the chin and William went
down and out. The round had last
led ten seconds.
| After William came to he shook
(hands with Carpentier and said: "I
got mine, I am satisfied." Later he
explained to a friend that he under
stood now why they spelled it
"Georges:" "There are so many of
him," he said. ,
Railroad Demons Want

Elmer Yount in Hospital,
Hit by 10-Pound Brush,
May Have Broken Skull
Struck on the head by a ten-pound
clothes brush hurled by Samuel Cap
in, a tailor, at his establishment,
703 1-2 North Third street, Elmer
Yount, 36 years old, is in the Harris
burg Hospital with what may be a
fractured skull and with severe lac
erations. His condition this morning
was favorable. Capin is under SI,OOO
bail.
According to Capin, Yount had
made a rush for him and the brush
was thrown in selfdefense.
Yount boarded with Capin at his
home at 1709 Green street, but had
been under the influence of liquor for
several days and at times had' made
himself so obnoxious by boisterous
conduct that Capin ordered him to
find other lodging's. This Yount re
fused to do until yesterday morning.
During the morning the Capins
had gone to attend a funeral. Yount
returned to the house and endeavor
ed to break the door in, according to
a statement by Capin. Policemen
weresent to the residence several
times but Yount had always gone be
fore they arrived. While Capin was
at the funeral Yount is alleged to
have come to the store and said he
would blow Capin's brains out.
Returning to the store again last
evening about 6.30 o'clock, Yount
found Capin in and made a lunge for
him with his hand at his right hip
pocket. Capin, thinking he meant to
draw a revolver, threw the brush
and hit Yount on the right temple.
A heavy pipe and a knifht with an
eight-inch blade were found on
Yount's person when he was pick
ed up.

Member of Gettysburg High
School Class Now Serving
in U. S. Marine Corps
Gettysburg, Pa., May 29.—Graduat
ing exercises of the High School
were held last evening and marked
the close of the schools for the year,
practically the only work of the day
following being to give the pupils
of all the schools their certificates
of promotion. On the platform sat
the thirty-two young people compos
ing the class. But the thirty-third
member to receive a diploma was not
there. Corporal James Lowell Kis
singer is now stationed at Paris Is
land, South Carolina, as a member
of the marines.
The honors and prizes were an
nounced, the first honor taking the
alumni prize of $5, being awarded to
Blanche Stoops, and second honor,
with alumni prize of $3, to Ruth
Spangler.
The prizes offered by the Gettys
burg Chapter of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, the subject of
the essays being "The Beginning of
Self-Government in America," were
won by Blanche Stoops, who received
the first prize of a $5 gold piece, and
the second prize, a $2.50 gold piece,
was won by John McGaughey. A
special prize of $5 was won by Henry
McDonnell for perfect attendance for
ten years. Raymond F. Topper, Dis

"Wake Up, America," to
Be Given Next Monday,
Under Chamber's Direction
"Wake Up, America," is the sub

lecture to be given In the Chestnut
street auditorium next Monday even
ing under the auspices of the Har-
Irlsburg Chamber of Commerce. W.
i H. Farley will be the speaker of the
1 evening. Stereoptlcon slides and mo
tion pictures will be shown.
1 This lecture will be presented to
Harrisburg people free of charge.
Admission will be by ticket which
can be obtained at the Chamber of
Commerce offices in the Dauphin
building.

mlck, R. B. Abbott, F. A. Robbins,
Jr., J. William Bowman and E. J.
r Stackpole.
Profusely illustrated with stereop
tlcon slides and moving pictures, this
lecture brings home In a dramatic
and cohvincing way the need for the
undivided effort of every true heart
ed American if America is to avoid
the fate of Belgium and France. And
what that fate would be is easily
judged as one views the pictures of
Belgium, crushed under the heel of
the pitiless Invader. Scenes from the
battle front arc shown, the splendid
work for the Red Cross, then the
early boyhood of the hated kaiser,
even then nurturing the seeds of later
destruction. One sees little children
at play in the war zone, hastily ad-
Justing gas masks and tiylng for
shelter as an alarm of a gas attack
lw given.
Then the call to America to
awake! And the sleeping giant un
furls Old Glory to the breeze and get:
Into action.
There are seen the boys in khu!
gathering to the colors and marc.
'ing to the ships which are to bear
them to France to fight for home
and country. It is a stirring picture.
Nothing is exaggerated nor is any
thing glossed over. The naked facts
are given as a solemn warning to us
all that each must do his or her part.
MAY BUILD OTHER
CONTAGION HOSPITAL
[Continued from First Page.]
cials are planning a temporary con
tagious disease hospital because of
the scarcity of materials due to {he
war, and will also consider a pro
posal to build an addition to the
present structure used for smallpox
cases. He presided at the session
which was called to order by. Com
missioner C. C. Cumbler.
Dr. KauitU'k Explains
City Health Officer J. M. J. Raun
ick was asked to explain to the offi
cials the present facilities for han
dling smallpox cases. He told them
the building now in use will accom
modate sixty patients but that the
quarters are not in proper condition
as at times when a mother becomes
a victim of the disease it is necessary
to take all the children to the hos
pital and while there the youngsters
must be placed in the ward with
women. He also called attention to
the lack of facilities for any other
disease cases, such as meningitis,
scarlet fever, typhoid fever and
diphtheria.
Question of cost of a permanent
structure and of taking over the
present one by the county was dis
cussed, Solicitor Philip S. Moyer giv
ing legal opinions in which rulings
were made by courts declaring coun
ty officials authorized to erect a new
structure could not take over one
which had already been built.
Commissioner Stine, in speaking
of costs of the improvements, said:
"There has been too much evasion
of financial responsibility. We can
not consider dirty dollars when
public health is at stake."
Officials at the meeting stated ar
rangements had been made to re
move the smallpox victims at Mid
dletown to the hospital. Late yes
terday a patient at the Harrisburg
Hospital was found to be suffering
from the disease and was taken there
also.
Those who attended the confer
ence were County Commissioners
Stine, Cumbler and H. C. Wells,
County Controller H. W.Gough, Coun
ty Solicitor Moyer, Poor Directors
Frank B. Snavely and Levi N. Miller,
Clerk J. William Bayles, City Com
missioner S. F. Hassler, Dr. Raun
ick, Dr. C. R. Phillips, county med
ical inspector; E. G. Butler, Steelton
health officer; Charles P. Feidt, sec
retary; Charles Yosc, president Steel
ton Board of Health; E. S. Gerber
ich, president Middletown Council;
A. B. Croil, president Middletown
Health Department.
Mentions Government System
Commissioner Stine mentioned'the
system used by the government in
establishing base hospital units
when the development plans were
under discussion. Other recommen
dations included the construction of
a large wing to the present small
pox hospital and improvements in
the sewage system and other equip
ment.
The commitee which Dr. Stine will
appoint will probably be asked to
report also on the advisability of
the county taking over and main
taining the present institution. In
case this is done the maintenance
will be directly in charge of the Di
rectors of the Poor. It was said a
proper hospital under careful super
vision could be operated at much
less cost than at present, thereby
saving money for both the city and
the county. An agreement may be
made with the city, Steelton, Middle
town and other health boards that
each community pay a pro rata
share for each patient taken to the
hospital.

satisfaction with the way things ase
going.
Mr. Johnson submitted a schedule
of the furnishing for the hotel,
which will be in keeping with tha
character of construction and secure
a home-like atmosphere so far as
possible.
An Important change in the mez
zanine floor overlooking the lounge
facing Third street and Capitol Park
was made, by which an additional
foyer, retiring or writing room will
be secured, thus adding another at
tractive feature to the hotel, espe
cially during conventions or as
semblies.
Another important feature con
sidered and which no doubt will be
adopted is the use of two of the store
rooms on Third street for a modern,
up-to-date lunch room or cafeteria.
This feature is being introduced by
many of the large hotels, especially
in the West, but the idea is being
rapidly introduced also among the
leading hotels in the East. It would
be the finest of its kind in the city,
and while high grade the service
would be at reasonable prices. The
grill room would also be included,
occupying the ground floor facing
the Capitol, under the lobby, with
Walnut street and Third street en
trances, in which would be served
short orders, club breakfasts,
luncheons, etc. No effort is being
spared to make the Penn-Harris an
| institution of which the city can well
be proud.
The lack of hotel accommodations
in the city is becoming so acute that
the necessity for the hotel is far
greater than when the enterprise
was started. The Inauguration of
the Southern Automobile route
starting at Harrisburg, to Gettys
burg, through the Shenandoah Val
lev and on to Birmingham will
largely add to the business of the
hotel. Its success as a hotel and
as a paying venture, in the opinion of
the directors, is well assured. Addi
tion of the Assembly Hall and other
features have added considerably to
i the expense of the
I is the desire of the directors to make
the enterprise in the distribution of
the stock as general as possible
