terday's 25-point gain. Coppers and
rails also supplemented their many
substantial advances of the previous
'session and U. S. Steel, which opened
at a gain of one point on a sale of
5.000 shares, soon increased its ad
vantage. Shippings rallied one to
two points from their moderate re
versal, Ahe motor group alone dis
playing heaviness.
The ilnal session of the week on
the Stock Exchange was character

enthusiasm, although the energies cf
the financial community were mainly

Auditor General and Penrose
• Act With Richards and
Beary
Urgent representations made to
Senator Boies Penrose at Washington
by Auditor General Charles A. Sny
der and statements by W. J. Rich
ards as to conditions in the anthra
cite coal field backed by statements
made to high Army officers by Adju
tant General Frank D. Beary last
night brought about the issuance of
'• the order by the War Department
I cancelling the movement of drafted
| men from Pennsylvania to Camp
j Greenleaf scheduled for next week,
j Under the schedule as prepared 6,-
'7 40 men would have gone from
! Pennsylvania to the southern camp
on five days of next week and the
War Department in postponing the
I call unUl further notice took the
! same steps as in the Camps Bee and
Humphreys cases.
General Snyder presented the
situation in Schuylkiil county very
forcibly, representing that there are
many men ill and that drafted n\en
would go front infected homes,
while lie said that coal production
was being menaced. Senator Pen
rose at once submitted the facts at
the War Department and when Mr.
Richards, one of the coal experts of
the country, and General Beary also
got into touch the military officials
decided to annul the movement.
Schedules for seventeen trains to
move the men had been prepared.
No time has been fixed for the move
ment to be undertaken.
In fourteen days the State Arsenal
force, often working at the rate of
twenty-two hours a day, has shipped
oxer 7.500 cots with nearly 1,000
dozen blankets, sheets and other
equipment and many mattresses, to
135 plaees to aid in the state's tight
I against influenza. In addition to the
j cots stored in the Arsenal for 'the
I Reserve Militia the Adjutant Oen
ieral's Department bought hundreds
of cots and mattresses in Philadel
- pliia and other cities. Over 100
t hospital, mess, kitchen and other
' large sized tents have been shipped
to various places for open air hos
: pitals in the fight against influ-
I enzu- This is the most extensive
I relief work ex-er done by the Adju
j tant General's Department during an
| epidemic.
j Situations existing at various
! camps which have reported to Adju
tant General Beary the number of
j Pennsylvania citizens in military
I service within their limits will be
i presented to Gotenor Brumbaugh on
' Monday and it will then be decided
I what to do about taking the sol
: dier vote. Some of the 262 canips
'or stations to which letters were
j sent asking as to the number of

his men the attack must be broken

NEW ELEMENT
OF MYSTERY IN
i v MURDER CASE
i
New Figure Enters Automo
bile Case; Robbery Mo
tive Advanced^
A new element of mystery has
entered into the murder of George
J. Bushman, well-to-do Gettysburg
garageman, whose body was "found
along the\ river bank at Lucknoxv
|Thursday morning with two bullet
: wounds in it.
Until this morning. detectives
here and at Gettysburg, gave cred
ence to the report that a man and
! woman left Gettysburg with the
! murdered man when he started on
the fatal trip to Harrisburg. It de
x eloped to-day. as the result of in
vestigation by Diaries Wilson, coun
jty detective at Gettysburg, that
; Bushman left Gettysburg an hour
,and a half later than was supposed,
after he had discharged the man and
woman, who were seen later riding
in his motor car before 7 o'clock.
The element of mystery now sur
rounds the identity of a man who is
said to have emerged from nmong a
group of men in the Gettysburg
Square, and requested Bushman to
take them on a trip. This was at
5.30 Wednesday evening. Former re
ports say lie left Gettysburg with
the man and woman at 7 o'cloyk. His
cur was seen at 8 o'clock and after,
parked in the square at Gettysburg.
The identity of the man who hail
ed Busliman, and the man and wom
an seen in his car, remain a mys
tery.
A report that Bushman had been
seen a few days previous to his
death with $2,700 in his possession,
gave rise yesterday to the opinion
in the mind of Detective Wilson that
robbery might lie the motive of the
crime. Twenty-rive dollars was found
in the possession of Bushman when
be was found, but detectives realize
that this amount might have been
left as a blind. His watch was gone.
Mrs. Bushman, wife of the dead
man. said she knew nothing of his
trip to Harrisburg, and could shed
no light on the identity of the mys
terious passengers who accompanied
hint. She said she knew of no 'af
fair" on the part of her husband
jwith any other woman. .Neither did
she know of any enemy of her hus
band. she said.
Undertaker Bender, of Gettysburg,
came to the city last night for Bush-
Oman's body. It was taken to Gettys
burg last night.

Russia. Oct 19.—Allied forces on
the Dvina- have been withdrawn
slightly more than six miles in the
face of an attack by greatly superior
forces, which had been reinforced
from l'etrograii and apparently com
manded by competent officers. The
withdrawal was successful under a
severe bombardment.
At last reports, the Bolshevik re
inforcements were reported advanc

a hail of shrapnel shells and "pom

from a Bolshevik gunboat or a land
battery would strike.
The positions abandoned by the
Allies were held for a week against
greatly superior forces. The Allies
operating along the Dvina and Vega
rivers have been handicapped by a
fall of the water, which left boats
stuck on sa Ad bars and barred pro
gress by gunboats at critical times.

their splendid co-operation.
It is estimated that about,3so new
cases were treated yesterday by phy

were not made. Health officials said
the situation is well under control
