LEMOYNE TROOP PLACES SEVENTH From Page One that this first competition was so successful that it is but the forerunner of others to be held annually in this and other Scout regions. Heat Is Intense The heat was almost suffocating down on Boiling Field, along the Ana-canda River, where the meet was held, but the kids in khaki didn't seem to mind it a bit. They went through their tasks showing plenty of action and, seemingly, as cool as cucumbers. After the results were announced the Scouts had a jubilee. First came the flying circus, with aerial maneuvers aplenty by many aviators, and then a truck load of ice cream was shunted into the Scout camp.

The boys remained around the truck until all the ice cream cans had been emptied. The standing was: Delaware and Montgomery Counties, 70.17; Roanoke, 69.4; Richmbnd, 69; Reading, 68; Baltimore, 67.37; Wilmington, 66.26; Hairisburg, 65.07; York, 60.09; Washington, 60.08. The Lemoyne Troop offered wholesome and interesting entertainment last night when they put on a scolor-ful program with a well-executed skit on Hans Christian Anderson's famous fairy tale, "The Tinderbox." It was clever work in pantomime in which Jack Throckmorton took the part of the soldier, the central figure in the famous story, and Herman Stanflcld looked the part of the "beautiful princess." Paul Bear was the King and Lee Brenneman the Queen, Donald and John Starr and Russell Hoerner, the three dogs; Richard Hess, the witch and upon Walter Heckman rested the responsibility of announcing each part as it was unfolded. Before the Lemoyne boys performed last night the York team put on a diverting "sketch" in which tho boys made good and laughable use of the "Pennsylvania Dutch." The Roanoke team-had opened the entertainment with a make-believe radio show which provoked much laughter. The Harrisbijrg contingent is made up of close to 800 Scouts, including the seventeen members of the Lemoyne team who will participate in the prise contests, and including fifty-nine Scouts from Hazleton.

The group is the largest contingent from any one district. Rose Society Members To Visit Breeze Hill Members of the American Rose Society of this city and vicinity will take their annual pilgrimage Flag Day Exercises At least forty organizations, includ ing military and other patriotic groups, lodges and civic bodies al ready have indicated their intention to participate in the flag Day exer cises Which will be held at. 6.30 p. m. on Monday, June 15, under the pices' of the Harrisburg Lodge of Elks, it was announced today by C.

PUPILS' RECITAL PLEASES CROWD By EDNA GROFF BEIHL A delighted audience enjoyed the annual violin recital by pupils of Sara Lemer last evening in Fahne stock Hall. Although the night was unbearably hot, the hall was crowded The program was unique. It opened with a delightful trio by small play ers of the violin cello and piano and one was transported immediately into the atmosphere of "the big lent," musically and theatrically speaking The little tots, dressed the part of the leading concert players and con. ductors of today, acted the charac ters admirably, and played to their delighted audience with all the abandon, grace and haughty mein of the true artist. It is hard to say which of these was best, but perhaps little Jimmy Ryder as Jascha Heifetz, was the most appealing.

He is a born actor and artist. This is not the only place Jimmy starred. In the junior en semble he played a solo part, ant! again took the house by storm when, with hu! big brother, in country school costume, he played, "Pop Goes the Weasel." The ensembles, both junior and senior admirably done. Conducted by Salome Sanders', the email children and larger pupils of Misa Lemer played as a single unit. In the second part of the program the two Treo children deserve special mention for their beautifully-suns- German folk songs and dances, With perfect German, rhythmic bodies and sweet voices they held the house, while the Tom Thumb Or chestra played, with Jimmy Ryder leading, and Milton Zucker on the 'cello; Lester Kline, flute; Israel Koplovitz, clarinet; Carl Hayward, saxophone: Frank Barbush, trumper; Carl Hull, trombone; Buddy Cullcn, piano and Roy O'Donncl, drums.

Part three was made up entirely of more serious numbers. The groupingof the selections and players showed worthy choice on the part of the teacher, and it is impossible to praise the fine work of these older pupils too Those featured on this part of the program were Carolyn Grove, Mary Elizabeth Smith, Robert Deihl, Doris Powell, Esther Cohen, Charles Rhein, Ula Hcnery, Helen Brown, Margaret Schmidt, who played from Kerwn, Drdla, Dvorak, Severn, Hrcisler, My narski. Massanet, Huerter and Handel. The good work of the players was greatly augmented by Miss Mary Jelley, who was at the piano during the evening, and much praise is due Mrs. Sanders for her able directing of the ensemble.

Indict Trio Accused Of Kidnaping Plot LOS ANGELES, June 6. Grand jury indictments were returned yesterday against Orian Wood, Claude Holcomb and C. T. Stevens on charges of conspiracy in connection with the alleged plot to kidnap Mary Pickford and other motion picture stars. The men were arrested last Satur day.

Police said that the men had been shadowed for three weeks, and expressed the belief that evidence sufficient for convictions had been obtained. The attorney for the men, however, stated that the entire, affair was a "frame up" designed to reflect credit on the Los Angeles police force. Motion picture actors were summoned to testify when the county grand jury began its investigation of the case. Assistant State Official Dies From Injuries RICHMOND, June 6.

June 6, An 8-year-old boy, John Veres, of Lowell, unattended by any rela fives, pattered into Middlesex County superior criminal court here yesterday, and faced a formal charge of manslaughter. But a few moments before, the grand jury had returned an indict ment against the lad the young. est ever to face such a charge in Massachusetts naming him for the murder of Vivian M. Hudson 18 months old. According to the indictment young Veres, "all and patently unaware of the enormity of the crime with which he is charged, took the HudBon baby to a brook in Lowell, cast her into the water, and then stoned her un til she was dead.

Her body was taken from the brook by a passing worker, who reported the affair to the police. As the charge was read by Gred Dean, veteran clerk of the court, who was -visibly moved by the unparalleled scene, young Veres counted over a handful of pennies which had been given him by Deputy Sheriff George w. Bishop The prisoner manifested boyish interest in what was. taking: place, but gave no indication of appreciat mg the seriousness of his predica ment. At the direction of Judge Nelson E.

Brown, a plea of not guilty was entered by Deputy anerui Veres was drdered held, in the custody of the deputy sheriff until an examination by alienists could be made. On the way out oi court, me young prisoner slipped out of the grasp of the deputy sheriff, and scooted play fully on ahead. He was quickly corralled, and held by the hand of the officer. There were no hand cuffs small enough to fit his wrists. Maximum penalty in Massachu setts for conviction of manslaugh ter is twenty years in prison.

Be tween the ages of 7 and 17, i minor has the benefit of a pre sumption of incapacity. In order to be found guilty, it will be neces sary for the State to prove that Veres was "mentally capable of committing the crime, knowing it as such." Just before arraignment, barred cell was pointed out to young Veres, he was asked if he knew what it was. "That's where they put the bad men, ne replied. GIRL SENTENCED AS AUTO THIEF ALBANY, N. June 6.

After she had been sentenced under the name of James F. Shaeier in county court today to Clinton prison for one. to five years for stealing an automobile, Miss Mary Agnes Mitchll, 31, of 18 Elliot street, Lowell, revealed her identity to the authorities. For three weeks she has been confined in the Albany jail completely fooling the keepers as to her sex. When Judge Gallup had pro nounced the sentence, Miss Mitchel walked over to District At torney Charles J.

Herrick and said: "I am a woman." Herrick, taken completely by surprise, could not speak for a moment. Then he held a short conversation with the judge. Miss Mitchell was taken to a room and questioned by a police matron. Judge Gallup sent Miss Mitchell back to jail and directed the sentence be held in abeyance pending further investigation of her case. As she walked out of the courtroom, the girl said Bmilingly: "It was easy to fool the Albany jail keeper but I am afraid I could not get away with it so easy up at Clinton prison." Three weeks ago Miss Mitchell was arrested with Grace Shaeffer, Margaret McCann, Fred Burnett and Arthur Prince ona charge of stealing an automobile in this city.

The other four are still in jail. At the time of her arrest Miss Mitchell claimed she was the husband of the Shaefer girl. All claimed their home in Lowell. The authorities claim the five stole a car in Pittsfield, drove to this city, abandoned the car here and then stole another machine and started through the state. They were arrested by a state trooper at Batavia.

THREE ARRESTED ON DRY CHARGES From Tage One the application for permission to padlock the place will -be made by Federal authorities, they eay. Warrants may also be issued against the trio on an additional charge of conspiracy to violate the prohibition laws as the result of further investigations by the agents today, they declared.

Federal Prohibition Agents William Schweitzer and H. B. Davis, accompanied by City Detectives Joseph Rineer and Hyde Speese, Motorcycle Patrolman Anderson and Mounted Patrolman Shoemaker surrounded the Railroad House shortly before 8.30 this morning. Entering the barroom, Schweitzer said he surprised the bartender and a few patrons by informing them who he was. They scrambled as the agent slipped behind the bar and found a pint bottle of alleged moonshine whisky.

After making a hasty search of the barroom, the agents walked quietly through the building to the rear, where they say they saw Levin and Johnson filling pint bottles with moonshine whisky from a five-gallon can. In an ice-box nearby, the agents say they found four cases containing ninety-six pint ginger ale bottles filled with moonshine whisky.

NEAR RECORD From Page One the day progressed. There was something something desert-like in the manner in which the sun beat down. And Ihe atmospheric conditions kept pace with the sun.

There was just enough breeze to give the lusion that there might be some re lief it. But those illusions soon vanished. The sun was too hot for illusions; The sun, in fact, was too hot for almost everything except swimming. And mot of Harris burg seemed to have gone swim ming this afternoon. Everything that could possibly be done to bring relief was being done today.

The traffic policemen who have been standing beneath the blazing rays of the sun and above the burning reflection of these sun rays from the asphalt were given some relief today. They worked in one-hour shifts instead of the regular two-hour shift, thus giving an opportunity for a little more shade-seeking. Cop Carries Thermometer Joe Pollock, traffic patrolman on duty at Third and Market streets, created some excitement yesterday by appearing at his post with a thermometer on his chest. All who were desirous of determining the extent of the heat could walk up to take a look and go awav per spiring. The thermometer did not show up on Joe's chest today, how fof the mercury rose so rap idly yesterday afternoon in the sun that the bulb burst.

E. H. Demain, weather forecaster, could give no promises of immediate relief today or tomorrow, but he did give some' consolation, He produced figures to show that this six-day heat spell is no record for length. Back in 1900 there was a ten-day stretch of above 90 degrees, in August, while in 1901' there was an eleven-day spell, in late June and July, This is the first time in the history of the weather bureau, however, that there has been such a long hot wave so early in June. The ten-day spell in 1900 started August 6 and ran until August 15, with temperatures ranging from 90 to 98 degrees.

Then there was a drop to 89 degrees on August 16, and then another rise above 90 on August 17 and 18. In 1901 the eleven-day wave began June 26 and ran until July 6, with the mercury ranging from 90 to 100. The highest point ever reached by the temperature in this city was 104, registered August 6 and 7, 1918. In the market houses this morning sweltering purchasers made hurried trips. The sellers had difficulty in keeping butter and other perishables from running all over the market as th temperature rose.

The much-maligned condition known as "appearing in shirt sleeves" grew into greater popularity today. As the -extent of the sweltering increased, more and more coats were removed by per- spirers. Collars also became a bit unpopular and by mid-afternoon the well-dressed man was appearing generally without coat and collar. With Saturday half-holidays pro vided for thousands of persons there was a general from the city. Those who did not go swimming in the river and other nearby streams motored to rural sections to seek the shade and the cooling breezes if any.

Small Fires The hot sun and the high tem peratures have had the effect of drying up foliage and, as a result, many small forest fires were reported from various parts of the State. George Wirt, chief of the bureau of fire prevention of the State Department of Forests and Waters, announced that fires had been reported in Sckuylkill and Luzerne Counties, where some forty acres were burned; Warren County, McKean and Forest Counties. There was a 750-acre brush fire in Forest County. The parks in and about the city again assumed the appearance last night of dormitories as hundreds wooed sleep in the grassy cool ness. But List night was not exactly cool.

The record temperature of 99 was registered at 4 p. m. yesterday. The mercury then started to fall, dropping to 81 degrees at midnight and 72 degrees at 5 a. the low mark for the day.

Then began the rise by hours as follows: 74, 78, 80, 85, 90, 93 and again 93 at 12 o'clock. According to hospital reports, eighteen persons were overcome by the heat yesterday. Of this num ber, fifteen were girls employed at the Woolworth rive and I en Cent Store. 310 Market street. They collapsed while at work.

Others treated, at the Harris burg Hospital as a result of the heat were: Harry Monn, 47, of 1120'North Sixth street; Macklin Gaskins, 69, of 1113 Cumberland street, and Harry R. Mehaffey. 28, of 411 Fifth street, New Cumber land. As early as 6 clock this morn- insr hundreds were already bathing in the Susquehanna, while scores of canoes dotted the stream, the majority of the canoeists paddling towards their favorite swimming holes. Park benches were already a scarcity an hour after sunrise.

Street Repair Workers To Go on Job Earlier Employes of the city street repair department will go on daylight saving time schedule starting Tuesday morning, but they will do it without hanging the clock. They will go to work at 6 a. in- tead of 7, and will end the day at 4 instead of 6. The change is made because of the xcessive heat and because the re pairmen will be able to work to better advantage in the early morning when traffic is much lighter than be tween 4 and 6 p. m.
