THOUSANDS SEE ROMPER STUNTS The thousands of Harrisburgers who went to Reservoir Park yesterday and appreciated just what the mammoth Romper Day funfest meant to the playground children all have much praise today for those who arranged the affair, including V. Grant Forrer, assistant park superintendent; J. K. Staples, the playground supervisor and the score of playground instructors. The officials themselves think the whole day of sport went beyond their expectations and they are much pleased with the results. Truly, it was one of the greatest Romper Days ever staged, despite the fact that the Park Department encountered all sorts of handicaps, due to wartime conditions. The children were active and happy all day long. The morning quoit, tether ball, long ball and volley ball tournaments teemed with interest. Bowers and Garrett, of Reservoir, won the 13- year-old boys' quoit series, with Dean and Orstend, of Twelfth Street, second. In the 15-year-old class, Kelly and Zimmerman took first honors, with Fry and Venie, of Twelfth Street, second. In the tether ball contest for 13-year-old boys, Earnest White, of Emerald, held first rank, with Gilbert Morris, second. Helen Connors, Hamilton, took first place and Katharine Dunlevy, Sycamore, second, for girls of 13. Wilbur Mack officiated in the big event of the morning; the final volley ball game in the season's tournament to decide the city championship. Jennie Eberly, Mary Minnick, Josephine Roberts, Mary Ellenberger, Celia McCarthy and Helen Groff, of Emerald, were allied against Dora Harrison, Mary Gerber, Eva Weiner, Hilda Abranson, Annie Wilsbach and Sarah Zarker, of Penn. Emerald, in a real peppery game, won the coveted city pennant by walloping Penn, 20-18. The Samuel Kunkel Picnic Lunch was served at 12.10, and it surely did disappear quickly before the terrific onslaught of some 3400 hungry youngsters. The folk dance festival was carried out without a hitch under the splendid management of Miss Lillian Kamsky, who was most ably assisted by A. H. Dinsmore and C. W. Miller, of the Y. M. C. A. Blue Ribbons were awarded to the honor winners of the sewing classes by Miss Maud F. Murphy late in the afternoon. The recipients were: Mary Foultz, Dorothy Kennedy, Helen Deibler, Goldie Hollom, Edna Lebo, Ruth Conner, Mary Shirk, Sarah Selvy, Nellie Buxton, Helen Halderman, Catherine Wilcomer and Anna Sweigart. All Boys 18 to Be Drafted Soon as Possible WASHINGTON, Aug. 31. - Under a tentative plan adopted by the War Department, all men of 18 years old made liable to military service under the new man-power bill, will be drafted for training as soon as possible after the registration, Chief of Staff March disclosed to the Senate Military Affairs Committee this afternoon. Nothing has been permanently or definitely decided, General March made it clear. The tentative plan provides, however, that after drafting the 18 year olds large numbers will be specially selected for technical training at schools and colleges. This does not mean that they will be exempted from military service even temporarily, General March said. When their time comes they will be called just as though they had not been selected for special training. Red Cross Makes Homes for Italian Folk Rising within the shadow of the tower of Pisa is one of the most modern towns in Europe, and it is an American village - an American Red Cross refugee village, by the way, built of concrete and with the most approved hygienic arrangements. Before the end of September it will be a hive of industry for two thousand refugees from the German smash, many of them wives, children and grandparents of Italian soldiers. The structures will house two thousand people, but the plans provide for the erection of homes for three thousand more on the thirty acres constituting the town's site. The neat rows of airy, well-lighted cement houses, designed in Italian style, surround a large central square. A church and modern schoolhouse face each other from opposite sides. A day nursery is nearby, a hospital is on the outskirts, and a large eating house to be operated by the Red Cross is so situated as to be convenient to all. Elsewhere there are stores, workrooms and workshops fully equipped for various trades. The streets and roads of the village re to be an object lesson to other Italian communities, while sewage disposal, plumbing and other sanitary facilities are to be as modern as those of an up-to-date American suburb. The ground for this village, which was requisitioned by the Governor of the province when the American Red Cross agreed to pay the cost of the structures to house the refugees, was formally broken on May 1 by Major Chester Aldrich, representing the Red Cross. Many of the houses now are ready for occupancy and 2000 homeless people will at last have a permanent habitation and be given facilities for resuming their old trades. It will be largely a woman-ruled town. Many of the citizens of this community will come from Venice, and in the main they will be women, for in Italy every able-bodied man is fighting at the front for the woman he has left behind. This village, however, is only one of the many measures employed by the American Red Cross to assist refugees and families of soldiers in Italy. In practically every village on mainland and islands Red Cross relief is operative. The families of over 300,000 Italian soldiers have been visited and their immediate needs supplied. In co-operation with Italian governmental and other agencies, workshops, day nurseries, schools, soup kitchens, clothing centers, dry food shops, sewing rooms, factories for the manufacture of shoes and furniture and other needed supplies, orphan asylums, Summer camps for children, hospitals and dispensaries have been opened in many places. Everywhere behind the line these activities are aiding in upholding the Italian fighters' victory spirit just as surely as are the Red Cross canteens and rest houses for soldiers on the front line and in the railway depots. 5 Boys Held for Court on Charge of Larceny Alderman Householder at a hearing this afternoon held five boys, ranging in age from 11 to 13 years, for Juvenile Court on the charges of larceny and malicious mischief. The boys were arrested after the owners of the Morton Truck Company, Nineteenth and Swatara streets, missed 500 large caliber cartridges and 250 spark plugs. The articles were taken from the building of the company which is at present used as a storehouse. The loss to the company through the thefts is estimated at upwards of $1000. NEW PARTY MAY RUN HOLSTEIN There is talk that Judge Eugene C. Bonniwell, Gubernatorial nominee, may pick Howard O. Holstein, of this city, for a running mate and as a candidate for Lieutenant-Governor, since the Judge's followers have decided upon a third party fight and yesterday pre-empted the party name, "Fair-Play," for use in thirty-six election districts of the State. The new party is to have a full State ticket under the action taken yesterday. The pre-emptions embrace eleven Congressional, nine Senatorial and sixteen Legislative districts. The signers to the petition which declares for the adoption of "Fair-Play" as a State-wide party name, all are Philadelphians with the exception of Henry Opperman, of this city. James J. Breen, a Philadelphia lawyer, who is the Judge's personal campaign manager, looked after the filing of the petitions. Breen said afterward that Bonniwell would be the nominee for Governor, with Samuel G. Tarner, Pittsburgh; Fred Ikeler, Bloomsburg, and J. Calvin Strayer, York, to be offered the three nomination for Congressman-at-Large. He would vouchsafe no information as to the choice for Lieutenant Governor, nor confirm a rumor that the place was to be given to Howard O. Holstein, the local hotelkeeper who was defeated for the Democratic nomination. No statement was forthcoming either as to the vacancy on the Congressional ticket. The new "Fair Play" party was also pre-empted in the first or city Legislative district in Dauphin County, the five signers being Harry Phillips, George A. Werner, Jr., Grover C. Burd, Frank Bowers and Frank H. Stewart. These same five preempted the name for the Eighteenth Congressional District. The districts for which the name was officially pre-empted yesterday are: Congress - Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Eighteenth, Twenty-second, Thirteenth, Eleventh, Twelfth, Tenth, Twenty-sixth, Twenty-eighth. Senatorial - Sixth, Eighth, Twenty-sixth, Twenty-second, Fourth, Eighteenth, Sixteenth, Twentieth and Thirty-second. Legislative - Elk, First Westmoreland, Northampton, Second and Fourth Schuylkill, First and Second Lehigh, First Dauphin, Fifth Lackawanna, Fifth Luzerne, and the following from Philadelphia: Seventeenth, Eighteenth, Nineteenth, Twenty-second, Twenty-fifth and Twenty-third. Seaman Heads City Clerks' Association The ten city clerks who this week attended the annual convention of the League of Cities of the Third Class held in Erie, formed a City Clerks' Association and elected City Clerk R. Ross Seaman, of Harrisburg, the president and Fred H. Gates, of Wilkes-Barre, secretary and treasurer. An effort will be made, according to President Seaman, to have all the city clerks in third class cities join the Association, which will hold annual sessions when the Third Class City League meets. City Clerk Seaman also was re-elected treasurer of the league which will hold the 1919 Convention in Allentown. Mayor H. J. Reidenbach, of Allentown, was made president of the league. City Commissioner Lynch was elected one of the honorary vice-presidents. The Harrisburg Delegates to the convention returned home this morning, all pleased with the session. Infantile Paralysis in Franklin Spreads CHAMBERSBURG, Aug. 31. - Two new cases of infantile paralysis in Chambersburg, three new ones and a death in the county yesterday, add to the gravity of a situation which is causing much concern.

The big Labor Day celebration has been called off and parades, picnics and church services are all annulled. Children 18 and under will not be admitted to churches tomorrow. ACTIVITIES IN THE REALM OF SOCIETY AND PERSONAL NOTES OF INTEREST HOSTESS HOUSE FOR SOLDIERS IS OPENED TODAY This afternoon at 3 o'clock marked the official opening of the Civic Club house as a Hostess House for the boys in the service. Everything for the boys' comfort has been provided by the various committees and the one thing left to make a complete success of the undertaking is to have the soldiers and sailors make the Hostess House a real week end habit and give the Harrisburg people a chance to show their hospitality. A dance will be featured this evening at which a number of young girls interested in the work have been invited to come and help entertain the boys. The hostess for this afternoon and evening are the members of the Advisory Board of the club, including Mrs. Lyman D. Gilbert, Mrs. William Henderson, Mrs. John W. Reily, Mrs. William Jennings and Miss Anne McCormick, Mrs. Edward F. Dunlap, general chairman of the Hostess House.

The Harrisburg Social Orchestra has volunteered its services for the dancing this evening, which will start at 8 o'clock. Sunday night supper will be served at 6 o'clock by a committee in charge of Mrs. Francis Jordan Hall and Mrs. Henderson Gilbert, assisted by a number of the members of the Canteen Committee of the Red Cross. Following supper an informal entertainment has been arranged during which Mrs. Harry G. Keffer, president of the Story Tellers' League, and a member of the entertainment Committee, will tell some stories accompanied by Miss Martha Lawton. Mrs. Roy G. Cox and Mrs. J. G. Sanders will sing. The boys at the Middletown aviation depot have arranged for a quintet accompanied by one of the men, also several amusing numbers by various members of the squadron. The evening will be most informal and it is the idea of the committee to have the boys enjoy themselves in any way they wish. Community singing, led by Mrs. Sanders will be a big feature of the evening. In the meantime the people are asked not to forget to help keep the "Cookie Jar" well filled with good old fashioned cookies for the boys. Mrs. William Jennings is the "keeper of the jar." "What shall I do with all the fruit stones?" has been a common query over the telephone to the office of THE EVENING NEWS, and at last a definite use has been discovered for them in the following statement issued by the gas defense division of the United States Army: "All peach seeds or pits, apricot pits, plum pits, prune pits, hickory nuts, walnuts and butternuts can be used in making carbon for gas masks. Three hundred tons a day of this raw material are being used and the demand is increasing. The gas defense division advocates that schools, libraries, department stores and banks be used for the collection of pits. Final instructions will be issued to Red Cross leaders as to bagging and shipping." Mrs. Mabel Cronise Jones, chairman of the Red Cross Salvage Committee, announced that her committee will undertake the collecting of all such materials. Mrs. R. A. Ronemus was chosen president of the Harrisburg W. C. T. U. at the regular business meeting held yesterday afternoon at the Fourth Street Church of God.

The plant was originally known in revolutionary days as "the Public Works," and its location kept a secret for military purposes. A government laboratory and finally a cavalry barracks were located here, the latter post being attended by distinguished army men and vacated in 1876. Lieutenant Richard H. Pratt, now a retired army brigadier being in charge of Indian war prisoners from Fort Sill at St. Augustine, conceived the idea of educating his charges, and after interesting Congress secured the use of the cavalry barracks and landed in Carlisle October 6, 1879. A Success From the Start. From the start the school was a big success and aimed to train Indian youths of both sexes to take upon themselves citizenship responsibilities. Both academic and vocational training were given. A novel educational system was evolved, known as the outing system, which allowed all students to work away from the school for a year on farms in nearby states, going to school in local public schools. Indian children between 14 and 21, possessing one-fourth Indian blood, were enrolled and the list of graduates speaks for the remarkable work of the teachers. Succeeded by Major W. A. Mercer, M. Freidman, C. H. Lipps, John Francis, Jr., and C. W. Pell as school superintendents. Active in the constructive work of the school were A. J. Standing, Miss Ely, Mrs. Wallace Denuny, Glenn S. Warner, Vance C. McCormick, W. C. Thompson and a large number of other workers in Indian educational fields. Indians Learn Football Vance C. McCormick, former Yale football captain, was first induced to give the red-skinned youth football instruction and succeeded in 1895 in placing Carlisle on the Yale and Penn schedules. Billy Bull, Yale, aided, and in 1898 Hall, Yale, coached Carlisle. Great Indian football stars were James Thorpe, the all-round athlete; Metoxen, Frank Mount Pleasant, Red Water, Seneca, Hudson, Pierces, Hendricks, Rodgers, Wheelocks, Houser, Wauseka, Williams, Johnson, Libby, Garlow, Exendine, Lubo, Little Boy, Payne, Little Old Man, Schouashe, Arcasa, Bird, Caswell, Lone Wolf, Powell and Gardner. Baseball gave a number of noted players, particularly Bender, and tennis, lacrosse and field sports contributed stars to the American firmament each year. The latter activities gave Thorpe to the world as her greatest athlete at Stockholm, while records were held by Caswell, Mount Pleasant, Gardner, Hunt, Libby, Billy as a long-distance runner here and Mitchell. Lewis Tewanima shone abroad. The general hospital will be adequately equipped to handle thousands of patients and will be under the direction of Major Bachmeyer, who has had wide hospital experience in Ohio. Firestone Salesman Promoted to Buffalo [photo] John M. Bushey, who for the last two and a half years has been connected, in the capacity of salesman, with the local branch of the Firestone Tire & Rubber Company, of Akron, O., will leave for Buffalo, N. Y., on Monday. Mr. Bushey started with the Firestone Company in 1916, leaving the employ of Dives, Pomeroy & Stewart, with which house he had been associated thirteen years. His promotion to manager of the Truck Tire Sales of the Buffalo Branch of the Firestone Company was given to Mr. Bushey purely on merits and his new duties will offer a large field for further development and promotion, and is but one of the many steps in the ladder of success which Mr. Bushey's present associates are confident he will reach. Earnest and conscientious efforts have been rewarded and while the local Firestone organization regrets their loss, occasioned by Mr. Bushey's transfer to another field, he leaves with their heartiest wishes for his continued success. Mr. Bushey's successor, his brother, Curtis S. Bushey, is extensively known and favorably regarded in Harrisburg and vicinity, and he wishes to assure all Firestone patrons that his best efforts will be put forth to give them real Firestone service and the same close attention given by his brother. Mine Cave Swallows Boy on the Mountain POTTSVILLE, Aug. 31. - Harry Dinger, 13-year-old son of John Dinger, of Broad Mountain, was swallowed up by the earth yesterday and nothing visible of the tragedy remains except a yawning hole in the ground, where the mine cave occurred. Two girls and a boy had narrow escapes from similar fates, but by fleetness of foot reached safety. Dinger was picking coal on a culm bank. The surface at Broad Mountain, in the vicinity of the village of New Castle, is in a dangerous condition, due to the extensive coal mining there.

Hummelstown Water Company Run at Loss Charles H. Kinter, receiver of the Hummelstown Water Company, reported to Judge McCarrel yesterday, in petition forwarded to the Judge at Eagles Mere, that he has been unable to run the company on a paying basis and that because there will be a deficit on September 1 amounting to something like $2300 it will be necessary for him to borrow money to keep the business going. The Judge gave Kinter authority, as Kinter had asked, to obtain $4000 by issuing "Receivers certificates; which practically are judgment notes that will stand as preferred claims and which will bear interest at six per cent. Once before the receiver obtained $3000 in a like way because the company's affairs were moving backward. Kinter attributes the financial trouble to the war struck prices of labor and material and to the fact that the plant was in a bad state of repair when he took charge.
