SCOUT CAMP SITE SELECTED Harrisburg Boys Will Have Outings Along Conodoguinet Creek After inspecting camp sites for miles around Harrisburg, the local council of the Boy Scouts of America has at last hit upon a spot suited for camping purposes. Scout Executive Virgin said this morning that Harrisburg Scouts will camp this Summer on a fifteen-acre meadow on the J. E. Ashburn estate along the Conodoguinet Creek. The spot is five miles from Mechanicsburg and has been leased for the Summer by the local Scout Commission. The site was selected yesterday afternoon when the local council, which consists of George Reinohl, president: David Tracy, William Jennings, David Kaufman, A. Carson Stamm, Samuel P. Eby, Howard C. Fry, J. William Bowman, Henderson Gilbert and Edwin S. Herman went up and inspected it. The site is a beautiful one. The large level meadow affords ample opportunity for a baseball diamond and athletic events. The part of the Conodoguinet that flows past the spot is one of the most picturesque in its course and it supplies the campers with splendid boating, swimming and fishing facilities. There will be a Scoutmasters' meeting the latter part of this week in the headquarters at which final plans will be made. Scout Executive Virgin has arranged accommodations for fifty boys and the troops will go in turn, in the order of the applications. Already five troops have made application. The first lot of boys to leave for camp will go July 15, the date which has been set for the opening of the camp. It will continue until September 1, when the lease expires. The average time that each troop will spend camping will range from ten days to two weeks. T. K. VAN DYKE LEFT NO WILL The will of Elizabeth U.

ALL OF THE NEWS OF STEELTON, MIDDLETOWN AND DAUPHIN COUNTY STEELTON COMPENSATION DENIED WIDOW Board Says There Is No Proof That Steve Torok Was Injured STEELTON, July 9. - The State Workmen's Compensation Board in Harrisburg today dismissed the appeal from a disallowance of compensation made by Referee Cummings to Vera Torok, 484 Good street, Steelton, and against the Bethlehem Steel Company. The widow appealed on the ground that in incorporating into the record testimony taken, other than that which related to notice to the defendant constituted an error and that further error was made in overruling the claimant's motion to strike from the record the amended answer of the claimant. Steve Torok, husband of the claimant, met with an accident at the steel works, October 13, 1916, and this resulted in his death, February 13, 1917, it was claimed at the hearing. The company claimed at the time that no notice was given of an injury to Torok. The board finds that the evidence in the case warranted the disallowance of compensation. "The death of the claimant's husband was due to peritonitis following an abscess of the groin, neither caused nor excited from a latent to an active condition by an accidental injury in the course of his employment with the defendant on October 13, 1916," says the decision. "There is no proof of any accidental injury on the date alleged or that any such injury was the direct or approximate cause of his death."

RESERVES WILL DRILL DRAFTEES Men of Draft Age to Be Prepared for Active Service The Harrisburg Reserves are offering to men of draft age, opportunities to secure preliminary military knowledge before they are called into the National Army. This instruction, it is believed, will greatly strengthen their chances for becoming non-commissioned officers after their induction into the Army. The prospective conscripts will not be made members of the Reserves, but will be placed in separate squads under the command of competent military instructors, who will be furnished from the Reserves. This action was decided upon at the annual meeting of the Reserves in the Court House last night. At the meeting Major Stine announced that in case the Reserves were called into active service, certain squads would be mounted, certain squads armed with rifles and the remaining force armed with shotguns. The following civil officers were elected last evening: William Jennings, president; first vice-president, Ross Hickok; second vice- president, Walter Maguire; secretary, A. Boyd Hamilton; treasurer, James P. McCullough; directors, William M. Ogelsby, Ben Strouse, Richard Haldeman, William Keller, H. B. McCormick, Walter Montgomery, and Norman W. Ream. Captain H. M. Stine was unanimously elected major commandant of the battalion. Albert Jastick Gets Commission as Captain Mr. and Mrs. William Jastick, 1625 North Sixth street, announced today that their son, Albert E. Jastick, a lieutenant in the Ordnance Department, United States Army, has been promoted to a captaincy in the National Army.

Captain Jastick, before he entered the Army service, was employed by the Harrisburg Foundry and Machine Works. Previous to that he was a student of the Harrisburg Academy. Up to the time of his latest promotion Jastick has been stationed at Washington, D. C., but now it is quite likely that he will be sent across in the near future. New Directory Shows City Has 100,775 Population Boyd's new city directory compiled from the census taken two months ago and issued yesterday estimates the population of Harrisburg at 100,775 and if the figure is correct the city is entitled to jump from third to second class. The directory has a whole lot of up-to-the- minute information. The map shows the First, Second and Fourteenth Ward additions and the names of the Riverside inhabitants are included in the new volume which carries exactly 40,310 names. The compilers calculate that the aggregate of names appearing should be multiplied by two and one-half to get a fair estimate of the population. Harrisburg is an unusual city, the volume shows. She has four Christmases, one Head, four Arms and an Arch for every Foote. Also the parks are full of Birds, there being fourteen Cranes; three Robins, one Fowl, seven Sparrows, fourteen Hawks, two Jays and a Wren. But that isn't all; this old town is some titled residents, too, because there are two Counts, and eight Dukes. There are Pages and pages of Kings with some Messengers. In this composite house there are fifteen Garrets and twenty-seven Atticks but only two Kitchens. Three Keens and eleven Sharps offset the fourteen Dulls but then there are only two Nutts as against forty- nine Allbrights. The city is surrounded with Hills, and Longacres and with those are Hatfields, Critchfields, Winfields, Littlefields and Garfields. There are a few names in the Directory which the headwriters and the printers like so much to use. Among them are: Corobasi, Buchignani, Braithwaite, Berosino, Aughinbaugh, Ankerbrandt, Houdenshield, Juergensen, Kecskes, Schubkegel, Tschopp, Satterthwaite, Schreckengaust, Liebtreu, MacInerney, Milatowak, Napiltonia and Nikicisi.
