Pitcher Leaves m -^,3 , CAPT. GEORGE F. LUMB Friends of Captain George F. Lumb, whose resignation as deputy superintendent of State Police was accepted last evening by Governor Sproul, were pleased to-day to learn that It is his Intention to remain In Harrisburg. Captain Lumb is a member of the Dauphin county bar and will devote his attention largely to commercial law. In which he al ready enjoys an extensive practice. Captain Lumb is one of the best known residents of the city. He Is prominent in Masonic circles and has been director, vice-president and and president of the Harrisburg Ro tary Club. He is a speaker of more than ordinary ability and was active in all forms of war work. He is a member of the Chamber of Com merce. Captain Lumb, a veteran of the Spanish-American war, the Philip pines and of the Boxer campaign in China, worked his way up from the ranks in the State Police by sheer merit, having participated In a number of daring exploits as an om cei 1 of the force. He has been dep uty superintendent for years and during Colonel Groomels absence in the army cohdilcted the department in a manner that won the praise of all familiar with his work. He is a great believer in the merit sys tem in the State Police force. For some time it has been known that he desired to get out of the service in order to devote himself to his growing law practice. Captain Leon S. Pitcher, who re signs as Captain Lumb's assistant, to become chief of police of Wilkes- Barre at a salary of $5,000, is also a product of the merit system on the force. He carries a number of pears he received in fights with outlaws and is generally considered an able officer and executive. He is a member of the Harrisburg Rotary Club and well known here. "I am more than delighted to re ceive the Captain's acceptance," Mayor-elect Hart told a Wilkes- Barre Record reporter yesterday. "Captain Pitcher doesn't need to worry about meeting with political interference. He is to have absolute charge of the department. .He is to be boss and he is going to be a good one. Any one familiar with the State Police knows that Captain Pitcher measures up to the require ments of the position." Captain Pitcher accepted the office with the understanding that he would be free from political interference. His new office will pay him a thousand dollars a year more than he re ceived in the State service. Regular Army of 280,000 Is Probable; Legion Favors Small Army Washington, Dec. 18.—Rejection by House and Senate Military Commit tees of War Department proposals for a Regular Army of 576,000 officers and men appeared practically certain ear ly to-day when Chairman .Wadsworth predicted that the Senate Committee would fix the strength of the force at about 280,000.
