CONFERENCE
MEETS TODAY

The Republican Congressional con-
ference of the Sixteenth district will
meet again at Sunbury today and will
make another effort to choose a nomi
nee. Last Thursday the first meeting
was held at the Montour House, this
city, and ten ballots were taken with
out result.
For seven ballots the vote was tied
between Charles G. Evans, Esq, of
Berwick, and Hon. Fred A. God
charles, of Milton. The four con-
ferrees of Columbia county and three
from Montour voted for Evans, while
Godcharles had the five from his own
county and two from Sullivan.
The Godcharles contingent looked
upon the adjournment to Sunbury as a
practical victory and feel confident
that their man will be named. On
the other hand it is stated that Evans
will hold all his votes and that the
deadlock will not be broken today.
The conference will be watched with
considerable interest. S. A Mccoy,
+. CT. Schoch and H. A. Kneibler, of
this city, who are the conferrees from
this county are looked upon as holding
the key to the situation. Their votes
can decide the nomination and thus
Montour wiolds the balance of power
in both parties.
1t was here that Hon. A. l.. Fritz,
of Bloomsbury, and Hon. @. H. Dick
erman, OF Milton, made the decisive
battle for the Democratic endorse
ment. 1t was generally conceded
that the winner of this county would
get the district nomination and the
campaign was a warm one.
At the Republican Congressional
conference, Thursday, the following
rules were adopted:
Resolved-That the rules which
have heretofore governed the Republi
can party in its nominations of Con
gressional candidates in the Seven
teenth Congressional district be re-
adopted for the government of the Con
gressional conferences now holding
and to be hereafter held i'll the Six

conferences shall be upon the follow
ing basis, to wit: : Five conferrees from

AN INTERESTING
OLD PAPER

w II. N. Walker, of the Second
Ward hotel, has an interesting old
paper, the columns Of which contain
curious reading for the people of this
day 1t is the Londonderry, Ureland)
Sentinel, of July 10, 1915, and was re-
ceived by Mr.. sWalker's father, the
late w. G. Walker. In its American
news the paper states that the Presid-
ent of Texas, Anson Jones, has issued
a proclamation announcing that Mex
leo, at the instance of England and
France, has agreed to recognize the in
dependence of Texas on the condition
that it will not unite with any other
state. The Sentinel further says that
il is thought that Texas will annex
itself to the United States at any risk,
this risk being war between the
United States and Mexico.
Texas did take the risk and the war
which followed was one that cost
exico all the rich territory of the
south west and It's PaclflC coast pos
sessions. All this has passed into
history and if Mexico had not been so
insistent its boundaries and influence
today might be greater.
This small paragraph calls up the
brightest memories i'll the glowing
pages of the nation, the stOrming of
the Alamo at San Antonio, the gallant
death of that brave band. of Colonel
David Bowie, Sam. Houston and the
deeds of bravery that planted the Stars
and Stripes on the heights of Chapul-
tepec, over the famed city of the Mont
ezumas and made Zachary Taylor
president of the United States.

IN irons who had been committed to the
Grand Jury by the district magistrate at
Waialua for an attempt at murder The
Japanese, whose name is Joe Tomikichi,

after threatening to kill Akimoto, the
Woman's husband. He was captured by

Sheriff Cox to Waialua.
Doyle spent the greater part of the
night in looking up witnesses and in hav-

endeavored to alter their testimony ca

From the evidence given at the trial it
was SHOWN that Tomikichi became in

one OF the prettiest japanese women in
Hawaii. She is about sixteen years of
age and TomiE1ichi had tried to induce her
to come 10 Honolulu. Okura informed her
husband of the matter and he protested
to Tomikichi. Then the latter came to

A TRAGEDY AT HAMP rON.
Cousins In shooting Afrsy-One OF Them
Is Killed.

A dispatch 70 the Columbia State
from Hampton tells of shooting
affrsy there Thursday afternoon be-
tween Archie and Hagood Gooding
on the one side and Perry Kearse
and his brother on the other, in which
Archie Gooding was fatally wounded
and later died. The Goodings and
the Kesrses are cousins and have
differed in politics, the. conflict be-
tween them in this respect being
thought to have caused the shooting.
Hsgood Gooding was a candidate
for the legislature at the recent pri-
maries, and, though he led the ticket
in the first primary without getting
a smajority of the votes; yet on the
second ballot he ran last and was de-
feated. It is believed that Gooding
charged the Kesrses with RESPONSE
bilities for his defeat. Archie Good
iny was the town marshal Of Hsmp-
ton. The fight took place at the
C. &. W. C. railroad depot.

that child labor is thing on which
the public cannot: afford to remain
either uninformed or unconcerned.
1t is a case of save the child or &C

One of the black spots in Pennsyl
Eania today is the prevalence of
child labor in the anthracite mining
regions when the mines are operated.
The avsrice of greed of parents and
guardians is largely responsible for
this, but it is just here that the law
should intervene. We have laws,
but it is, important that they should
be enforced. We must guard the
coming generation of men and women
by guarding the rising one of little
children. ="
