A month ago a count was taken which showed approximately 175 empty houses. The count taken by the carriers this week Includes all apartment houses and every dwelling house In the city where mail might be delivered.

37,000 TURKS TAKEN BY DUKE IN ASIA MINOR

ASSESSOR MAKES ERROR WHICH CAUSES DECREASE

Poor accounting on the part of the township assessor of New Garden township caused the county officials, particularly County Assessor Matitbews, considerable worry today. In the report submitted to the county auditor, the book of the New Garden assessor showed a loss of approximately $200,000 compared with the 1915. Mr. Matthews began scratching his head to figure out the. reason for the loss but satisfied himself with the thought that the board of review would never allow a shrinkage of this great an amount In one township. Mr. Matthews, however, got busy on the New Garden assessor's books and found that additions in the recapitulation were wrong as reported by the assessor. It was found that the loss In that township was only $2,210, the total assessment being $697,660. The MASONS INVITE WIVES Members of the two Richmond lodges of Masons, their wives and families, have been invited to attend the celebration to be given by Richmond Lodge, No. 196, tomorrow evening in honor of its sixtieth anniversary. Special program is being arranged. ROBERT MINOR TELLS OF DAYS AT FRONT Robert Minor in giving a socialist lecture at Ninth and Main streets last evening gave 'an account of his three months experience in the war zone. He portrayed scenes on the battlefields and told that the private soldiers, when the officers left them alone, went into the enemy trenches to visit. He quoted a leading French socialist as saying at the beginning of the war, "It is too late to stop the war; you'll have to fight, but when the war is over, keep your guns." He advanced the idea that after the war the people of the warring nations would force the repudiation of the war debt which would lead to' revolution in all nations now at war, France leading and the rest following. He said that if these debts were repudiated, the United States would be called upon to force payment because the moneyed interests of the United States have helped finance the allies' cause. Thus the cry for preparedness. DIVORCE MILL GRINDS OUT THREE DEGREES Three divorce cases were dismissed from the docket, two divorces were granted and one new complaint filed in circuit court this morning.

The three cases dismissed were those of Roy Strikeleather against Frances Strikeleather; Carl Gates against Olive Gates and Pearl Brokamp against Joseph Brokamp. - All were dismissed at the cost of the plaintiff. ' The suit of Stella Moon against Thomas Moon was re-instituted today. A new complaint was filed although two former complaints have been dismissed for want of prosecution. They were married in 1908, Abandonment Is the charge made in the eomplalnt. An expedition of Norwegian scientists is studying the natives, flora and fauna, of almost unknown regions of northern central Asja,

PENROSE TICKET SWEEPS STATE

PHILADELPHIA. May 17. Senator Penrose's ticket swept the state In yesterday's primary, but struck some stumbling blocks in this city. State Senator Charles A. Snyder was nominated for auditor general in the bitterest of factional contests, but lost this city to Speaker Charles Ambler by 12,734. The city vote was: Amblerr 78,847; Snyder, 66413. The contest for national delegates-at-large resulted in a split.

Senator Penrose carried the west and will have a substantial ma jority of the entire state delegation of seventy-eight. assessment of personal property however showed a decrease of $5,960, which was counteracted partly by an increase in the additional improvement assessment.
