 ject Before the House

The first Of the long promised anti gambling bills wHs Introduced into the house yesterday by Mfr. Bailey who an- nounced that he was acting by se- quest. The measure is a very briec one and contains the word gambling only once and that is in the title But short as the bill is it will be sufficiently effective if it passes both houses and is signed by the governor It merely proposes the repeal of paragraph 3SsS of the revised statutes. title license taxes, and paragraph go of the penal code. The preceding section makes gambling in any form, crime; the section to be repealed is the only provision for avoiding the penalty and is as follows; The preceding section shall not apply to any person who before dealing. playing. carrying on. opening or causing to be opened, or conducting any of the games mentioned in such section has first oo- tained a license therefor in the manner provided by law"

JAPANESE FORTIFIED LINE.

Tachinadooza, Manchuria, Feb. 20 (Monday), via Mukden, Feb. 21.-A tour along the right flank gives the correspondent of the Associated Press reason to believe that the main line of the Japanese fortification is somewhat in the rear of Sandepas, this village being held as a mask and occupied by several batteries of artillery. The po- sitions of the Japanese are very strong. fortified villages connected with the fortified roads rendering reinforcement of the threatened points safe and easy. Ten degrees of frost was registered here today.

Y. M. c.. A. NOTES.

The largest appropriation ever made
by railroad company for the estsb-
lishment of Young Men s Christian AS
sociations along its line has just been
authorized by the board of directors
Of a southern company, which, upon
the recommendation of its president,
voted that $780, 900 be spent in the erec-
tion OF Association equipment at divi-
sion points along the line Of its road
during 1905. This will provide three
new buildings and extensive improve
ments in the Associations already or
ganized. The excellent influence of
the Association on the men centering
at one of the most rough and raw divi-
sion points on the road has led the
president to recommend the exten sion
and equipment of these Associations.
The Southern Railway Company has
recently made an appropriation of $l5,
600 for building and provided a Gen.
trail and valuable site in Spencer, N. O.

SONS OF VET
ERANS CAMPS

Colonel George S. Brown of the
Third Regiment, Sons of Veterans Re-
serves, and division organizer of that
order, was in this city yesterday ar
ranging for the establishment, in Dan.
Vile, of a Camp of the Sons of Veter-
ans. Colonel Brown is at present locat-
ed in ShamOkin. He was born in this
city and is we'll known to many of
our citizens. He was at one time en-
ployed in the office of the Montour
American. Later he very ably filed
positions with Shamokin newspapers.
The work that Col. Brown was en-
gagged in yesterday was of merely a
preliminary nature, and nothing def
mite has as yet been done in the es-
tablishment of Camp here although
the men with whom Col Brown talked
all seemed TO be very much in favor of
the movement. He stated last evening
that if his work of interesting Dan
Vile men in the organization proceeds
with the same degree of success in the
near future as it did yesterday it is
probable that Ca mp may be organiz-
ed in this city in about three weeks
The Sons of Veterans, an auxiliary
to the Graud Army of the Republic,
has for its object the perpetuation of
the deeds of our fathers in the civil
war. Only sons and grandsons of
veterans are eligible. Colonel Brown
met the members of Goodrich Post.
No %, after their meeting last even
! ing, and they all expressed themselves
as being thoroughly in favor Of the
movement, and willing to lend their
aid in the work of organizing a Camp
/ in Danville.
An excellent characteristic of the
Sons of Veterans is the military fea-
ture connected with the order called
the Sons of Veterans Reserves. Com
panies have been organized in many
of the Camps throughout the country.
Drilling is done under regular army
regulations. and national and state en-
caupments held annually. A company
of Reserves was sworD in at Milton
last night, and the state encampment
Is to be held there in June.
The order has taken forward move
ment in this part of the state during
the past year, many new Camps hav-
ing been organized. There is also in
creased activity in the older camps.

FERRY AGAIN TO
Be OPERATED

The ferry boat is once again safely
moored at it's old landing on the South
side. 1t was brought back Saturday
evening by crew of fourteen men,
under command OF the Captain of the
squad, County Commissioner Cook.
Twelve of these men went down to
where the ferry boat was. early Satur-
day morning. They made the trip in
row boats. Later Commissioner Cook
started for the scene of operation, 60
ing by train and taking two more men
with him, thus increasing the number
of polemen to fourteen. However, the
officer in charge, when once the up
river trip was begun, did as much pol
ing as any of his force.
When the men reached the boat, they
discovered that they we're up against
au unlocked for proposition. The fat
had been run up Wolverton creek some
distance from its mouth. when the
water was high. The water having
fallen to a considerable extent since.
had left one end of the fat tightly
grounded on the bottom Of the stream.
Consequently, it had to be raised and
pushed into deeper water before ID
could be floated out into the river. 1t
took great deal of time to accomplish
that difficult feat, but it was finally
effected and the long and uncertain
trip back to Danville begun. Every.
thing went all right during the early
stages of the journey, until Cook g
rifles were reached. There the boat
ran aground, the bottom having come
in contact with a large stone that was
just concealed from sight by the shall
low water. The ferry was firmly fast
ened. For three hours it bid defiance
to the Is strong men to push it from
the top Of that rock. Finally, though,
it yielded to the powers against it and
glided off into deeper water. From
| that on the men had no trouble.
The remainder of the journey wal
made without anything worthy of note
transpiring, the landing being made
on the South side, late Saturday even
ing.

EIGHT MEN TAKES
FRIGID PLUNGE

The naphtha launch owned and OPP
Grated by Daniel Ross upset Tuesday
morning and spilled niue men into
the icy waters OF the Susquehanna.
Luckily the boat was near the landing
when the accident occurred; so all the
passengers managed to reach shore be-
fore being overcome by the freezing
water. Those in the boat were Peter
Baylor and Station Agent W. r.
CLARK of South DanviIle, DR.. E. A.
Curry of this city, Calvin Clark of
Msyberry township, George Woodruff
of Rush township, William Oberdorf,
of Sunbury, and a travelling sales
man, George Z. Williams, of Roches
ter, New York Frank Ross and his
son Daniel were Running the launch.
1t was shortly after 9 O'Clock when
the accident occurred, the boat was re
turning from the P. R. r. passenger
train. There was quite heavy foe
of ice in the river, but the launch had
been easily pIowing through suoh ice
for days. so DO trouble was snticipat-
ed from that source. When the craft
had reached point about 30 feet from
the Dauville shore il struck stone
that slightly tilted it. and large ice
cake, just then striking the boat ,serv
ed further to uubalance it. At this
critical moment Mr. Williams moved
to the lower side of the launch and in
q twinkling the little craft capsized,
and threw men and bundles in a
confused mass into the water.
The water was about three feet deep
at this point and several of the pass
engers were wet only to the waist,
The others, however, were completely
submerged, and barely escaped being
| thro Tn under the boat.
Those of the unfortunate party who
reside on this side of the river started
with all possible haste for home, their
wet clothes clinging to them, and freez-
| ing on the way. The men from the
other side were not so fortunate, for
the river lay between them and the
warmth OF the home fireside, but they
were not compelled to endure their
suffering very long. Places were soon
found where they secured change Of
clothing and although the ft, in most
GASES. was not of the best, the dry gar
ments were most acceptable.

RUSSIANS ARE AFRAID THAT
Another outbreak WILL COME
Strike Has Spread to Moscow and Kovno and Strk-
ers Are RiOting-Strikers Are Aiming for
A Bloody Revenge.

The rebels it is learned intend to
march 40, 600 strong to Tsark oe -Selo
and make another attempt to see the
Gar. If they persist there will beyond
doubt be a repetition of Sundays dis
aster.
Should clash occur today between
these marchers and troops, it will be
as has been pointed out far more SER
ious affair than the massacre of Sun
day. The men are fairly we'll equipped
with arms, and in addition to this
they have the death of their comrades
OF Sunday to urge them on, and a
fight, should it occur, will be carried
on with a fury such as only COM
mune or an occurrence of this kind
could witness. The men are determin-
ed to fight 10 the last drop of blood,
and this would mean awful carnage.
ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 24-The

ReporterS Good Fellows.

said to a Chronicle representative ::
~ have always found the reporters ex-
cellent fellows. " The Bishop but voic-
ed the sentiment of every man of
prominence who has been frank with
the newspaper workers. 1t is the man
who wants to be mysterious who does
not find reporters good fellows because
the latter usually get behind the mys-
terry. Then there is another class which
imagines the reporter is being only
fit to become the butt of ridlcule-
that it is jolly good joke to fool the
reporter But this class is soon mea-
sured by the discerning news man and
are set down at their proper level.
But the man who is frank with the
reporter, and the reporter who honors
his position sufficiently to grasp what
the word confidence means, will get
along together, and neither will have

frankness and honesty will never cause
any man TO lose confidence i'll the news
man, and the latter, if he constantly
practices frankneSs and honesty ana
never violates confidence. Will have

side are the ones who cause trouble.
