TO PLAN RED CROSS SALE
Committee Will Meet To-night to Ai
range Campaign For Disposal of
Christmas Stamps
Coincident with the closing to-night
of the great statewide political , cam
paign, another crusade, national instead
of statewide, will be opened. Prelimi
nary steps for launching here the 1914
Red Cross Christmas*seal sale will be
disPUßse-l toy the general committee at
the residence of Ohairman John Fox
Weiss.
>lr. Weiss, who headed the campaign
last year which plai.-ed Harrisburg
among the record-breaking cities of the
country for the number of stamps sold,
ihas called the committee to meet at
7.45 o'clock, tout because of the fact
•that it is election night, the meeting
iwill be very brief.
Harrisburg already has received its
first consignment of the Christmas
seals —300,000 —the largest number
ever sen't in the first consignment. Mr,
Weiss says lie is confident that these
seals will toe disposed of by Christ
mas.
The general cannpe.ign plan will be
Similar to that of last year, when a
score of different ideas were followed
out successfully. The public schools,
secret societies, Boy Scouts' organiza
tions, churches and the merchants of
fhe city and the suburban towns will
be among the "mediums through which
Harrisburg's general committee will
dispose of the stamps.
Chief among this year's campaign
features will be the series of "'Mer
chants Days." This plan was adopted
last year, but because of the 'brief time
the results were not so large as
might have been possible in a greater
time allowance, and for tfhjs reason the
idea will be worked out much earlier.
In brief, the plan is to set apart one day
during the crusade as a certain class of
merchants' day, such as "grocers'
day," a "bakers' day," etc., when
these merchants will be given stamps
to dispose of.
The Boy Scout's will be enlisted
especially in this work in helping to dis
tribute the seals.

tagged, and the corresponding number
given the parents. Then, for instance,
if number 23 begins to cry lustily
while papa and mamma' are enjoying
the sermon in the tabernacle, an atten
dant will tip-toe to the section re
served for parents of tagged babies and
whisper:
"Number 23 wants its owner at
once."

TURKEY'S ENTRANCE INTO
WAR. SUICIDE. SAYS PAPER
Bombay, Via London, Nov. 3, 7.45
A M.- —The Jlombay "Chronicle," in
an editorial headed "Suicide," says of
Turkey's entrance into the European
war:
"The folly and rashness of those in
whose hands the destiny of Turkey is
placed have plunged her in a vortex
from which she cannot emerge with
any shred ot a status as a nation."
The "Advocate," of India, says
that Turkey has been betrayed by a
coterie of officials, for the Indian Mo
hammedans are politically free. Tur
key has been made the tool of a coun
try, it is added, whose ideals are not
those which have given India peace,
power and freedom.
The Nizam of Hyderalbad, the largest
Mohammedan state in India, has issued
a manifesto, in which he says:
"It is the bounden duty of Moham
medans of India to adhere to the Brit
ish. There is no country in the world
where Mohammedans enjoy such liberty
as they do in India.''

POLLS LACKED BALLOT BOK
Delay of Twenty Minutes Was Caused
in the Sixth Precinct of the
Ninth Ward
Early voters in the Sixth precinct of
the Ninth ward were disappointed be
cause there was no ballot box 011 hand
at 7 o'clock, and the polls, at Fifteenth
and Regina streets, consequently could
not open until that necessary recepta-lo
was obtained. After twenty minutes
delay an extra one was found in a
nearby voting place and then the polls
were opened.
.Tohn A. Bumbaugh, Judge of Klec
tions, learned at 6.25 o'clock that
there was 110 ballot box and tried to
get one. There was none at police
headquarters where the boxes are kept
between elections and he was in a
quandry when early voters and others
on the election board and precinct work
ers showed up.
It is one of the new precincts re
cently created and the first step was
to learn whether the County Commis
sioners haul a box. George W, Mcllhen
ny pressed into service an automobile
and paid an early visit to "Squire"
Strock. In the meantime Bumbaugh, in
another machine, went to police head
quarters to make a search.
Two bystanders walked over to the
polling place of the Seventh precinct
of the Ninth ward, in a garage at the
rear of 1660 Market street, and there
found an extra ballot box. By this
time Mr. Mellhenny had returned and
the box was taken to the Sixth pre-
I cinct polls. Then the judge was miss
ing.
A screw driver was obtained and
| the box was opened under the direction
of Constable Challenger and the old
ballots it contained were burned. The
box was sealed again and when the
.judge returned with the news that 110
box could be found at police heaidquar
ters everything was ready for him to
begin operations. It was" just 7.20
o clock when the polls were officially
opened.
According to persons around the poll
ing place, who took part in the search
for-a box, two men had to leave without
voting, being compelled to catch trains
shortly after 7 o 'clock.
