a "favorite son" fight with Perry

Keller. Barnett secured a lead of
1,448 over Keller in his home coun
ty, while Juniata could give Keller

county for many years. In the Ju
dicial campaign of 1900, he gave un
divided support to James W. Shull.
of New Bloomfleld, who was elected
on the Republican ticket. Barnett
himself was a candidate for ihe
judgeship of the district at the last
election before the nonpartisan fea
ture was introduced into the ju
dicial campaign. Running on the
Republican ticket, he was defeated
by William N. Seibert, of New
Bloomfleld, a Democrat, who iiai
the endorsement of the temperance
forces which at that time were
waging an active fight in the county .
Keller was appointed to the bench
two years ago by Governor Brum
baugh. He succeeded Judge William
N. Seibert. deceased.

WEDNESDAY EVENING,
FANS AWAIT UMP'S CALL
TO START FOURTH GAME
ON H. A. C. FIELD TOMORROW
Indications to-day are that the at
tendance at to-morrow's {tame be
tween the crack West End and
Marysville teams in their champion
ship series will attract fully as many
persons to the old H. A. C. grounds
in Island Park as did the third con
test of the series Inst Saturday. The
game will start promptly at 5:15, when
Shickley and White are again ex
pected to be the arbiters.
Manager Harry Stees, of the Marys
ville contingent, is expected again to
send the veteran Harry Biever to
the mound for his outfit. Biever's
work has been the feature of the
series, surpassing anything that has
been done by him this season, al
though he has hurled a remarkable
quality of ball throughout the sea
son.
Illever I SON His Head
Biever. as a rule, is hit hard, but
manages to keep his hits well scat
tered. In this series, however, there
has been but 19 hits made off his de
livery in the 27 innings that he has
been on the mound. Many of these
have been of the scratch variety and
that he has managed to keep them
well scattered is i/.'idenced by the
fact that they have produced but
a single tally. Abner Hippensteel,
one of the most experienced catchers
of the vicinity, will re'ceive him. The
remainder of Manager Stees' outfit
his name on the ballot, but is be
lieved to have won out through the
employment of the "stickei"
method.
The Democrats had no candidates
in the tield for either the nomina
tion for district attorney nor reg
ister or recorder, and neither party
was able to put a candidate in the
field for county surveyor and county
coroner nominations. For all or
these vacancies, nominations aie
believed to have been made yester
day through the writing in of names.
Just who will be the nominees will
be undertermined until the official
returns are compiled. Dr. George
W. Gault. of Marysville, who has
served one and part of anollici
term as coroner, is running strong
for the nominations of both parties.

Union Policemen and
Firemen Stand Firm on
Order to Dissolve
Macon, Ga., Sept. 17. —Union po
licemen and firemen still stood
adamant to-day on their refusal to
obey the order of the Civil Service
Commission of this city that they
dissolve their unions or resign, and
events of the last 24 hours had serv
ed only to complicate the situation.
The police appear to have scored
a success in the promotion of their
former senior lieutenant, Martin
Thompson, who holds a union card,
to Chief of Police, following the
resignation of Warren McWilliams.
the rangy Texan and war veteran,
whose appointment Saturday was
hailed with delight by Macon citi
zens. McWilliams who promised a
speedy restoration of law and order
when he was appointed Chief, ad
mitted on resigning yesterday that
the situation was more than he
could cope wit*'.

department. The Governor and At
torney General William I Schaffer

FOR ALDERMEN
Several Districts Fail to Put
Up Democrats Against Re

There were several rather warm!
aldermanlc struggles In the city yes- i
terday aside from the Third ward 1
! tight where C. E. Murray was ousted
iby Merlo Cope. In the First, Fil'tn
and Fourteenth wards, are fights,
were fairly close, and each candi-.
i date was claiming the laurel wreutn '
juntil the very last minute of voting.'
j In the First ward, H. M. Graham, l
|Jr.. took the Democratic nomination!
i with no opposition. On the Republi-!
can side of that contest, Graham;
: fought it out with J. B. Nicholas, i
Jr., the present alderman, and lost,
Nicholas polling 350 to his oppon
ent's 298. The Fourth ward had
really no scrap, E. J. Hilton, Re
publican, cleaning up as usual wilh
no opposition.
I In the Fifth ward, Erastus B.
Hoffman defeated J. A. Serfauss for
the Republican side of the argument,
though by no great majority. John
M. Welsh was nominated on the
Democratic ticket. George D. Herb
ent and S. H. Garland were the
Democratic and Republican candi
dates respectively in the Eleventh
ward, each having an unopposed
road to travel-.
The Thirteenth was a walk-over
for C*. Vernon Rettew, who not
polled the entire Republican vote,
but wws presented with a sprinkling
of favorable ballots on the Demo
cratic lists. There was no Demo
cratic nominee.
The Riverside organization in the.
Fourteenth ward presented Frank E.

feating M. C. Clay by 25 votes. There
was no Democratic nominee in this
ward.

HARTMAN WIN
[Continued from First Page.]
Democratic ticket and is not expect
ed to do much campaigning between
now and November. He is merely
the leader of a fornlorn hope and
has offered himself as a sacrifice to
party loyalty.
Oliver C. Bishop, of the lower end,
a man well qualified by long expe'i
ence for the office, was named o>
the Republicans for county treas
urer over his opponent, Jo6hue 13.
Rutherford, who made a good run
under the circumstances. He will
have as his opponent George M.
Weaver. The Republicans nominat
ed J. H. Lehr, Frank B. Snavely ami
Jacob S. Farver for poor director,
the latter for two years, and S. E.
Klinger and N. Y. Parthemore are
£,. wlnne r 8 on the Democratic side
The primaries in the city were more
than ordinarily active but were not
complicated by the non-partisan con
tests of other years. The men with or
ganization backing won out in every
case, the city treasurership being any
man s race up to the closing hour of
the polls. Both candidates on the Re
publican side, Harry F. Oves and
Clarence E. Weber and their friends
were busy from early morning until
evening and it was not until well past i
midnight that Weber gave up the
fight. To-day Mr. Oves, who was for a i
short term city treasurer and is well I
qualified -by experience for the office,
is being heartily congratulated for the
nomination practically assures the elec
tion. James G. Miles is the Democratic
nominee.
The nomination of Alderman George
A. Hoverter, of the Ninth ward, over
Mayor Daniel L. Keister and Alder
man Jacob H. Shaner, of the Seventh
ward, was freely forecasted before the I
primaries and the result was never !
for a minute in doubt. Hoverter had j
more votes than all the other candidates |
combined his election is as certain i
as anything political can be. His many
statements made at the close of the |
campaign last Saturday won him many j
supporters and he is being heartily J
congratulated to-day. He has been a !
resident of Harrisburg more than forty
years and was a member of select ■
council when elevated to the alderman- j
ship of the Ninth ward some years I
ago.
It was also a foregone conclusion I
that the four Councilmen now in of
fice, Charles W. Burtnett, Dr. Samuel
F. Hassler, E. Z Gross and William ]
H. Lynch, would be re-nominated, so j
that chief Interest lay among their j
friends in seeing who of them would j
come out ahead, that honor falling to
Dr. Hassler. The same can be said i
of the race between DeWitt A. Fry, !
at present City Controller and Harry j
R. Brown, for the Republican con- I
Irollership nomination, Fry winning j
out hands down. He will have as his !
Democratic opponent, G. C. Berkheim- j

ning its fight for Mayor, put the skids j

Fiume Is Isolated
From the World by
Italian Censorship
London, Sept. 17. —Fiume has been
isolated from the world by the Italian
government, which is apparently tak
ing steps to meet the situation tnat
has arisen through the action of Cap
tain Gabricle D'Annunzio in forcibly
-taking pofpession afthe city and forc
ing Allied and Jugo Slav forces to
leave. The veil of the censorship was
drawn yesterday and since that time
little has been learned of events in
the city.
Investigation of the incident lias
shown, according to advices, that the
plan to seize Fiume originated in
Venice, the prefect of which city is
said to have been involved. Artillery
forces in Venice which were prepar
ing to join the D'Annunzio forces In
Fiume are reported to have in
duced to return to their barracks. The
prefect has been dismissed from office.
The Jugo-Slav peace delegation in
Paris has Issued a statement indicat
ing that Italian regular troops ara
moving on the city. The Italian bat
tleship Dante Aligheri is said to have
been damaged by her crew and has
been unable to leave the port of
Fiume. French. American and Biit
ish detachments which were in the
city at the time of D'Annunzio s ;oup
are reported to have boarded <hips
and departed.
Adams County Vote Is
Unusually Large and Close
Gettysburg, Pa., Sept. 17. An
unusually large vote was polled at
the Adams county primary, the con
tests bringing out voters in j&rge
numbers. In some cases the outcome
is so close it will take the compete
returns from all districts to deter
mine the winner. The soldier vote
played a prominent part and two or
the soldier candidates are certain of
being nominated, Horace E. Smiley
for register and recorder being the
high man on the Democratic ticket
and John W. Hartman for Sheriff
leading his opponent on the Repub
lican ticket. The other noldier
seeking office is Harry Troxell for
county treasurer on the Democratic
ticket and this is one of the places
where the fight is close, although
it looks as if he isi beaten by John
E., McDonnell.
Returns indicate the following
Democratic nominations: George A.
Kane, for sheriff; P. A. T. Bower for
prothonotary; Horace E. Smiley,
register and recorder; Robert Hart
man, clerk of the courts; John E.
Mi Donnell, treasurer; George M.
Walter, district attorney; Walter C.
Snyder and Harry M. Keller, com
missioners; A. J. Guise and Clinton
A. Rife, directors of poor; Mervin
E. Freed and C. Tilden My'er, audi
tors. Their Republican opponents
are: John W. Hartman, sheriff; G.
Harry Roth, prothonotary; Wm. E.
Eden, register and recorder; Harry
C. Stock, clerk of the courts; Roy E.
Zinn, treasurer; Raymond F. Topper,
district attorney; Wm. Linn and
Reuben Lupp, commissioners, Ed
ward H. Benner and Edward Hall,
directors of poor; George M. Deat
rick and Joseph Carbaugh, auditors.
In districts where there were con
tests the community ticket for town
Council in Gettysburg lost, the Demo
crats gaining more places than the
1 union candidates.

at Chester Polls Is
Likely to Lose Life
Chester, Pa., Sept. 17.—The brand
of politics that made Philadelphia's
Fifth ward notorious was injected
here yesterday, just before the polls
closed, by the McClure henchmen in
their desperate efforts to corral
votes for W. T. Ramsel, who is op
posing: Mayor McDowell, Governor
Sprout's candidate for mayor.
Daniel McCarthy, twenty-nine
years old, leader of the Sproul
forces in the First precinct of the
Eighth ward, is in the Chester Hos

ly to die. He was clubbed about
the head when he attempted to
have a voter, who wanted to vote for
McDowell, given assistance in the
booth.

Fund Differential
Will Be Abolished
Formal annoucement has been
made by State Insurance Commis-
Hioner Thomas B. Donaldson, under
authority of an act of 1919, that on
and after January 1, 1920, all rates
for compensation liability insurance
in Pennsylvania shall be uniform.
This section abolishes the ten per
cent. differential in favor of the
State Workmen's Insurance Fund
and is the result of hearings and a
study of the situation in the State
made by. Mr. Donaldson. He has
formally given notice to State Treas
"rer M. Kephart, chairman of
the State Board in charge 'of the
fund, in the extended letter which
summarizes the results of his inves
tigations and hearings. In the
course of his letter he says that
there was an understanding that
when the Fund's premium income
reached $1,000,000 the differential
should be abolished and that he has
ne\ ei heard any sound reason for
the origin of the State Fund."
He adds that the "logical, scientific
equitable rate leveller is the rating
bureau," of which there are now
two in Pennsylvania for compensa
tion rates,
Mr Domddson points out that the
State P und has accumulated a large
surplus. The State of Pennsylvania
advanced the Fund about half a
million dollas to get it started and
this sum will be returned to the
State Treasury.
