Old Council Before Adjourning Makes
Great Change in Methods for Sc
curing Sewers in the City.
MAYOR AND CLERK ARE PRAISED
Council Gives Heartfelt Thanks to Mayor
Pfennig and City Clerk Jacob for Long
and Splendid Service.

| The Republican City Council passed
out of existence last night and Mayor
Charles H. Pfennig retired to private
life and indicted his successor, James
German, into office.
The last meeting of the old council
was marked with one important piece
of the business of the city, and this
was in regard to the matter Of build
ing sewers in portions Of the city not
in the sewer district at the present
time. The resolution was offered by
the Sewer Committee and adopted by
the unanimous vote of the council.
The resolution provided that in the
! future when sewers were asked for in
any part of the city not within the
present sewer district the petition for
such sewers must be signed by all
the owners of property abutting on
the proposed Improvement and that
) the signers must give release to the
! city to insure the city against loss
through the building of the sewer.
This will make it exceedingly difficult
for any of the petitioners to secure
sewers as in almost every case some
one is found who objects to the build
/ ing of sewers. The action of the old
/ council will bring the sewer fight to a
focus and the new council will be
forced to grapple with it.
The other business of the old council
consisted in winding up affairs before
the council and most of them were
laid over to the committees of the new
body.
Before the final adjournment was
taken, vote of thanks was offered in
honor of Mayor Pfennig. In this
resolution the council thanked Mayor
Pfennig for his splendid services to
the city and for the careful and con-
scientious manner in which he had
taken care of the affairs of his office.
At the meeting last night Gustav
Jacob, who has been city clerk of the
city for so many years, retired from
Office and George w. Harrington sue
ceeded him. Many we're sorry to see
Mr.. Jacob go out of office, and as a
II IOhOh " IAAO 4OAS9 SO4N4NO that AAO AAdo
given the city, the following reso1u-
ton was adopted by the council by a
unanimous vote.
Resolved, That vote of thanks
be, and is, hereby extended to Gus
Jacob, the retiring clerk, for his many
acts of kindness and assistance to the
members of the Board, and for cour-
tesies extended and for the strict at
tention and fidelity to duties during
his many years of official service
There was one more vote of thanks
and that was to George D. Head, the
Veteran President of the Council,
who retired after many years of serv-
ice. This resolution was filled with
all the honor that the council could
bestow upon retiring member.
After the adoption of the votes of
thanks, the old Council adjourned and
Mayor Pfennig in a few words intro
duced his successor in Office.

CRIME OR ACCIDENT !?
Strike Turbulence Accompanied
ny the Holocaust of
Six Persons.
IMPORTED ITALIANS ACCUSED
Armed Men Parade the Streets and
the Town on the Verge of
sNs~1 sA& a Riot.

? Somerset, Pa, April 20. = An out
break even more disastrous than the
riot at Boswell in last January has
been hourly expected at the town of
| Garrett, the scene of the mining OPP
erations of the Garrett Coal company,
the Somerset Coal company, and 9th
er lesser operations Trouble has been
brewing ther eever since the Inaugural
ton of the miners strike five months
ago. The1company has brought in
number of Italians to take the strikers
places and the strikers have been
paraeing the streets openly armed, and
they have prevented the moving Of the
household goods of incoming miners
from the railroad station to the new
company houses
Horror Accompanies the Trouble.
A horror that may. or may not be
connected with the strike situation at
Garrett was the burning to death Of
two women and four children in their
home at that place between the hours
of 2 and 3 o'clock a. M The victims
Were: Mrs. Bosanna Meyers, her two
daughters, Lucinda and Annie, aged 80
and 8 years, respectively, and her son
Richard aged years. The two 9th
er Victims were young children of
Lucinda. The origin of the fire is
Hnknown.S Tt may never be known.
but rumor connects # with the trou-
h1es growing out of the miners strike.
Crime Laid to the Italians.
Meyers, the head of the household.
is union miner, and the strikers lay
the fire to the Italians The only evil
dence thus far against the Italians is
statement made by Meyers, in which
he alleges that two of them called at
his house several days ago to buy
some butter, and that when told that
Meyers would not sell butter to
'fscabs" they left swearing vengeance
These two have been arrested. There
are those who look upon the charge
against the Ita1ians as a move on the
part of the strikers to get rid of the
foreigners who have taken their places
in the mines

BREAK NEW LIGHTS
Vandalism Makes its Appearance II
Another Form and Electric Light
Company is the Loser.
OFFER REWARD FOR vANDALs.

The managers Of the Kenosha Gas
and Electric company reported to the
police office this morning, that six
of the new lights for the streets which
have been in service less than a week,
were broken last night by vanda1s.
The lights broken are in widely
separated parts Of the city, and it ap-
pears that gang of men simply went
from one part of the city to the other
and threw stones through the lights.
Every effort is being made to discover
the identity of the people guilty of
the crime, and if they are found they
will be prosecuted 20 the fullest ex-
tent of the law. The loss to the COM
| pany will be large one as in some
cases the lamps are badly broken by
| the rocks.
The company has offered reward
of ten dollars for the arrest and con-
viction of any of the parties connected
with the work of breaking the lights.
It is supposed that this work is being
done by the same gang of boys that
! have been breaking signal lights,
! car windows and every other break
able thing in the past few weeks. It
is evident that judicial c1enency is a
bad thing in Kenosha and the boys Of
the city are beginning to pay no atten-
ton to the city ordinances and the
state laws. 1t is time to call a halt
and the police of the city are making
every effort to apprehend the guilty
parties.

Skrydloff Is AIexiefr's Enemy.
The immediate cause of the viceroy's
application is reported to be the cap-
pointment Of Vice Admiral Skrydloff,
one Of Admiral Alexieff's strongest en-
emies and sharpest critics, as successor
to the late Vice Admiral Makaroff in

Far. East Vice Admiral Skrydloff had

discussed with his majesty the CUES
ton of his (Skryduoff's) relations with
Alexieff.
Belongs to the Militant Element.
The relieving from command of
Viceroy Ale1ief would not surprise in
telligent observers of the Far Eastern
situation who are familiar with the
gradual change in the emperorls atti-
tude toward the viceroy and M. Bezo-
brazoff, who represented the militant,
or advanced, element which was
anxious that Russia should remain in
Manchuria. 1t was to these two men
that the Anglo-Japanese entente first
lost it's terrors. They believed that
Great Britain would not go to war.
