Smith for Congress.

Clarion, Jetf r-0n, Armstrong and In
diana counti,s c institute one congress
siona district. represented at present
by Hon. Joseph G.. Beale. The district
is now an open field for aspirants with
out any rotation rules or understandings
to keep any one 'off the grass" The
race track regulations in, this district
are now thing Of the past. There are
now no politicians authorized TO say
start" to this one and 'stay out" to
that one, or to pull an undesirable"
one of the track altogether. Whoever
wishes to do SO can now run his chances
at the polls without boss interference.
Under these conditions the district
should be represented by a capable man.
So far there is only one man that the
voters are giving much attention to,
and that man is probably the best quail
flied in the district to represent us. He
is comparatively young man, full Of
vigor and energy. Equipped educa-
tionally and socially for the position,
and above all, with experience and ac-
knowledged ability In congressional
work. We refer to Hon. w. o. Smith,
OF Punxsutawney. During his service
as congressman, before being pushed
aside by the rotation system, he kept in
touch with his constituents, who felt
that they had some one looking after
their interests continually, and to-day
are urging his reelection. Wherever
the subject is discussed favorable men,
tion is made of Hon. W. o. Smith.
When the rank and file take notice,
there is likely to be something doing,
and we shall no doubt honor Mr.. Smith
by an election next fall.-New Bethle-
hem VindicdtOr.

VICTIM OF PLOT.

Scheming Arme mans
Supposed to Have Muir
dered Father Haran.

NEW YORK, May 27.-It is now be-
heyed that Father Casper Haran. the
Armenian priest whose dead body was
found stuffed in a trunk in a house on
West Thirty-seventh street. was the
victim Of a political plot on the part of
Servians and Armenians, who have been
planning the overthrow Of the King Of
Servia.
1t was said that the alleged plot was
forming in this country; that the priest
had secured information of the plot and
exposed IL, and that he was marked for
death. The names and an accurate
description of the men who murdered
the priest are said to be in possession
Of the police.
These are believed to have been work
ing with Chicago Armenians for the
reason that the trunk in which the body
was found was brought here from Chi
cag0.
The suspects for whom the police are
today looking are Paul Tiren and John
MOOnedian. Armenians.- who were lodg-
ers in the house where the body was
found. The suspects brought in the
trunk to the house and left it with the
landlGdy as deposit for their room rent,
which was due. They had been dodgers
in the house for several weeks and had
always paid their bills promptly.
The landlady was not suspicious and
accepted their excuse Of not having
ready money on hand. The men had
been gone three days when the trunk
was opened by the police. Since then
no trace Of the missing men has been
found.
