Jail yesterday by United states Com

Jail yesterday by United states Conn
missioner Milo J. Wilson.
Kerwin had a partner who eluded
arrest. 1t is presumed they were able
to make a dishonest profit by not US
ing internal revenue stamps on the
boxes. 1t has not been learned now
long the pair have been avoiding the
payment of the tobacco tax, nor
whether they manufactured the cigars
themselves or sold them as agents
The deputy internal revenue collector
for the district in which the sales were
made Is obtaining evidence which VIII
be impaired to the United States au-
thorties before the trial.
Kerwin's arrest was indirectly caus-
ed by his being locked up tor intoXi-
cation in Susquehanna one night when
Constable Moran was there. TO the
latter was related the suspicion That
Kerwin was avoiding the tobacco tax.
Moran communicated the facts In his
possession to Collector Penman, OF
this city, who advised that the arrest
be made.
1t is believed Kerwin is liable to
punishment for violation of the war
revenue act as well as the old revenue
law.

NEW HOTEL AT HARVEY'S LAKE.
Opening OF the Handsome Oneonta,
Managed by Fred II. White.

The prettiest body of water in Penn
sylVania, Harvey's Lake, no longer will
be embarrassed by lack of suitable
hotel facilities. On Thursday in the
presence of several hundred guests
from Luzerna and Lackawanna coun-
ties the newShotel, the Oneonta re-
Gently constructed by the Harvey's
Lake Hotel and Land Company. an
organization of Wilkes Barre capital
lists, at a cost exceeding $4,000, was
opened by its manager. r. r. White.
The opening was informal save for a
dinner served in the handsome dining
room fronting on the lake, from whose
windows a view was afforded compre-
hending well-nigh the entire lake and
its wonderfully picturesque shore line
The site of the hotel is a sloping
tract of several acres at the lower end
of the lake directly opposite the Lake
house. The structure is chateau-like
four stories high, with finished base
ment, spacious verandas, large recep-
tion halls, exceptionally we'll lighted
guest rooms and every modern con-
venience. Fire places at various places
in the halls and parlors and in many
of the guest rooms give home-like air
and will enable the hotel to remain
open the year around. The hotel is
designed to accommodate comfortably
100 guests. 1t is heated by steam,
lighted by electricity, has electric bells,
telephone and telegraphic connection
and secures it's water supply from
mountain springs.
Mr.. White is assisted in the manage
ment of the hotel by Percy H. French,
long and popularly identified with the
Wyoming and later with the Jermyn
of this city.

ALL FROM HERE LOST
No Hope for Lacknwanna County
Passengers on La Bourgogne,
Which Went Down July 4.

In the list sent out by the Asso-
ciated Fress of the survivors of the
French liner, La Bourgogne none of
the names of the persons from this
county appears. Joseph Cassesse, of
Lackawanna avenue. agent here for
the company, has not received any no.
tice whatever, and he sent letter last
night to the general agent in New
York, asking for an official list of those
who took passage and of those who
were saved.
Mr.. Cassesse's office was besieged
again yesterday with relatives and
friends of the lost families, pleading
for good news. The daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Ferdinando Staffarino, the
aged couple from Connellton. was to
see him several times, and her grief
at not hearing her parents were saved
was uncomfortable.
From the first day that news Of the
disaster reached the general public,
and people began pouring in on Mr..
Cassesse for information, he told them
candidly and in few words that the
chances were 100 to that all from this
county were lost.
Mr.. Cassesse was told yesterday that
the husband of Catherine Molinarid,
instead of going to California went to
New York with her to see her away,
and there suddenly changed his mind
and took passage with her. They
came into possession of some prop
erty in Italy recently by the death of a
relative, and were going over to sell
it and return. If that be true then
another victim from here was added,
making Lackawannas total twenty
four, instead of twenty-three.

neighbors, for the theft of some ribbon
