DEVOTED TO- THE STUARTs.
Many Put Wrcaths on the statue OF
Charles l..

LONDON, January 30.-An extraordinary
scene was witnessed on Trafalgar Square
here during the early morning today. This
was the anniversary of the execution of
Charles 1 of England, who was beheaded
by order Of a special high court of justice
appointed by the house of commons. The
king was executed in front of the ban
quoting house. White Hall, which leads up
to Trafalgar Square from Wes minister, on
January 80. 1919.
This morning many small parties Of So
called ''legitimists'' arrived at Trafalgar
Square with floral wreaths bearing divers
inscriptions. These offerings they attempt
ed to place at the foot of the statue of
Charles l. The first of the "legitmists"
TO appear arrived at 3 O'Clock in the MORN
ing and many others came as the day

them to remove the wreaths as such
demonstration is contrary to law. The
crowd, which was at no time very large.

WILL NOT DE TRIED. 8.
The Charges Against Maj. Armes
VIII Be Allowed to Drop.

Inc ChnTSes AEn1nst Maj. Armes
VIII Be Allowed to Drop.
1t Is stated with authority that Major
George w. Armes, retired, will not be tried
by court-martial for his treatment of Lieu
tenant General Schofield on the day Of
his retirement from command of the army
Formal charges were formulated by the
Judge advocate general Of the army against
Major Armes predicated upon his conduct
en- that occasion. They We're for conduct
to the prejudice of good order and mill
tary discipline and for conduct unbecom-
ing an officer and gentleman. 1t is said
at the War Department that these charges
were prepared in good faith for investiga-
tion by military court, Judge Bradley's
intimation to the contrary notwithstand-
ing.
So far as can be learned the only reason
why the case is allowed to drop is that no
one in authority takes sufficient interest
In 1t to bring it to trial. General Schofie,d
reported the facts originally to the War
Department, since which time he has made
no communication to the department on
the subject, one way or the other His
lack of interest in the matter spread
among the officials, up to Secretary La
mont, resulting in conclusion to allow
the charges against Major Armes TO be
dropped.

Explosion of Boiler at Holidays
burg, Pennsylvania.
DISASTER At iron and nail WORKS
Scenes of Excitement follow the
Catastrophe.
A TOWN OF MOURNING.

HOLLIDAYSBURG. Pa. January 30
Five persons were killed and nearly a score
injured, some of them fatally, by the ex-
plosion of the large thirty-inch cylinder
boiler at the works of the Iollidaysburg
Iron and Nail Company this morning.
The boiler was blown through the roof of
the works, 300 feet in mid air, and came
sailing down like a spent rocket, crushing
through the roof in another department of
i<he works. The entire roof was precipi-
;tated to the floor below by the force of the
explosion and the works were practically
wrecked. The explosion was sufficient to
'rcck the earth with the force of an earth
quake near the works, and broke hundreds
of window paneS at a quarter of a mile
from the mill.
All the local physicians were called to the
works to act a hospital corps for the
wounded
There was the greatest excitement around
the wrecked building, and the families of
rthe dead and wounded were frantic with
grief. As soon as the bodies of the dead
ana injured could be gotten together Coro-
ner Foust impaneled jury. After viewing
evening
No explanation is offered as to the cause
OF the explosion Some of the emplo -es say
that they were short of steam before the
accident occurred. The Hollidaysburg Iron
ana Nall Company operates the leading in
dustrlal plant here, and it will be several
Gays before operations can be resumed.
Inc names Of the dead and injured are:
george Lane. mason, was found crushed
INTO hfeless mass under the boiler; Con.
Evans, fractured skull; Merrill Treese, fif-
teen-year-old boy, head ground off by fly

THE PATRIARCH OF THE NAVY.
He Did an Unusual Amount of Work
on His Eighty-Fifth Birthday.

William Plume Moran, the patriarch Of
the navy, celebrated his eighty-fifth BIRTH
day yesterday by doing an unusual amount
of work at his desk in the Navy Depart
ment and receiving the congratulation Of
friends in the naval establishment from all
over the world. Mr.. Moran has been iden-
tifisd with the navy few months less than
seventy years, having enlisted in 1897, when
but sixteen years of age. In 1913 he en-
tered the Navy Department as clerk and
has served there continuously ever since
His special function has been the prepara-
ton of the commissions of officers appoint
ed to the navy, duty he began before the
outbreak of the civil war, and has per-
formed religiously ever since. There is not
an officer in the service today whose COM
mission does not contain the initials of this
veteran clerk. He is one of the oldest en-
ployes in the service of the government
and there is probably no record of any one
having a longer continuous service record
He is still in good health. and bids fair to
continue IN active service for some time to
come. He is known to every man in the
navy, eitner personally or by reputation.

SMILES INSTEAD OF TEARS.

Novel Scene Mt u Funeral in Chicago.
CHICAGO, January 3O.-Theosophists met
yesterday in Graceland cemetery and watch
ed the cremation Of the remains of Miss
Meri Topelius. Instead Of the scene being a.
sad one, the general feeling which perme-
ated the assemblage was one of calm re-
joicing, partaken Of even by the nearest
and dearest friends of the girl who had died
Instead of tears there were songs and
and noticeable absence Of the usual en-
blems of DEATH.
This was the second theosophical funeral
which has taken place in Chicago.
MISS Topelius, who was a native Of Fin
land, had been teacher of manual training
in the Agassiz school. She was tall and
handsome and had been member of the
society for some time

game laws and give occasion for such dis
turbances as occurred at Jackson's Hole,
Wyo, last year.

OF Vermont Society Sons of the
Revolution Anniversary.
Fully Three Thousand People AS
sembled in Armory Hall, Montpelier.
Hon. Chsuncey NJ. Depew, OF Now York,
Delivered the Oration-Hc Devoted
:. the Major Portion of His Address
to the History of Vermont.

MoNTPELIER, VT, Nov. 24.--The an
niversary EXERCISES of the Vermont So
ciety Sons of the Revolution, were
held in armory hall Monday afternoon,
the chief feature being an grafton by
Chauncey M. Depew. At the armory
fully 5000 people assembled, including
delegations from Burlington, Rutlan,
Sy Adams and other places.
The hall was divided into sections
and the guests were seated by detail
of "a members of the Vermont Nation
al Guard, acting as ushers. The exer-
cises opened with prayer. Ex-Gov.
Dillingtonham then, after felicitous
address, introduced MIR. Depcw. In
the course Of his address Mr.. Depcw
said:
In no state of our sisterhood of COM
monwealths can a celebration which
recalls the glorious memories of the
revolutionary period be more appropri-
ately held than in Vermont. Nowhere
is a society Of the Sons Of the Amer
lean Revolution more at home. Ver-
mont is as unique and original in her
history as in her mountains and lakes.
Her life began In rebellion against
arbitrary authority and resistance to
royal orders and colonial courts, in de-
fense of the rights of her people. The
early settlers of Vermont furnished
the example and set the pace for the
people of the colonies in resistance to
tyranny.
Mr., Depew devoted the major por-
tion of his remarks to sketch of the
colonial history Of the Green Mountain
state, its part in the revolutionary war
with the many glorious incidents like
Bennington, Tconderoga and Crown
Point, until, in 1891, Vermont added
another star to the flag of the Union.
Then, after an eloquent extolment
of the principles of our government
and the duties of patriotic societies to
educate the people, he said:
The shifting standard of value is not
American. A paternal government is
not American. Any effort to array
the people into classes when employers
and employees are constantly changing
places is MT American. An assault
upon the independence of the Judiciary
is not American. American liberty is
the liberty of law and order.
He concluded:
Gentlemen, let US learn and teach
the principles upon which our govern
ment has grown to its great and be-
neficent proportions; let us enforce the
lesson that American liberty is the
preservation of American opportunity
for every man to rise above the con-
dition in which he was born and to
receive the full honor from his fellow
citizens, and in protection from his
country Of results which have come to
him by his talents, his industry, his
wisdom, his providence, his thrift and
his good citizenship.
