Fire to Herself.

Mrs. John Hagen, who lived
west Of the railroad tracks, while
supposed to be suffering from
diseased mentality, arose early
last Saturday morning and sat-
urated her clothing with gaso-
lene and set fire toit. Mr.. Hagen,
hearing her scream, ran to her
assistance, and succeeded in
smothering the flames that en-
veloped her, but not until she had
been sersously burned about the
the face and shoulders, and down
the left side Of her body. No
hope of her recovery was enter
tanned from the first. 1t was
evident that the injuries would
eventually prove fatal. She lin
gered until Tuesday noon, when
her sufferings were relieved by
death. She leaves a husband,
and three children, the oldest a
girl of fourteen.
The remains were taken to

Our townsman, +. Q. Hartman, the
we'll known silk mill proprietor, is
erecting a plant in Shickshinny to take
the place of the leased building in
which he has conducted business for

The new building will approxima te

like it is firmly built and substantial
The mill is about 1875 feet by 4S feet
The work of building is under the
supervision of Robert Cornelison. the
well-known contractor of this county.
The brick work is we'll under way
aud Mr. Cornelison will go up to
Shickshinny this morning to set the
window frames. The new mill will be
pushed to completion as rapidly as
possible.
The building in Shickshinny that
Mr.. Hartman has occupied up to the
present was not we'll adapted for his
business When the lease expired,
therefore. he decided to vacate and
erect building more suitable. The
leased structure is now shut down and
the machinery is being removed Mr..
Cornelison yesterday stated that the
new mill will be ready for operation
by June 18th.

Concerning Sewer Extension.

An engineer representing the State
department of health will arrive in
this city tomorrow for the purpose OF
making a study of the town with ref
erence to sanitation and especially in
relation to the proposed sewer eXten-
sion on West Mahoning street, permis-
sion for the construction of which was
asked of the department months ago,
but which up to the present for some
reason has been withheld.
The engineer in question is Professor
Walker, of State College, who will
come to Danville as the representative
of DR.. Samuel G.. Dixon, State COM
missioner of health. He will arrive Oh
the 0:l9 Pennsylvania train and pro-
ceed at once to look over the town.
Professor Walker yesterday notified
Borough secretary H. b. Patton Of his
intended visit and Mr.. Patton in turn
notified the committee on sewers, who
will be OH hand to meet the engineer.
Owing to the long silence maintain
ed following the application for per-
mission to extend the sewer on West
Mahoning street council was begin
uing to think that the whole matter
would be ignored by the State depart
ment of health. However, now that
Dr.. Dixon has gone so far as to send
representative here to study the situa-
tion at close range no one needs to
despair. There is no doubt but that a
study of conditions on West Mahoning
street will convince the visiting eng
ineer that sewer extension is very
much needed there. 1t would not be
at all surprising if the permission to
extend the sewer were granted,

STATEShaN GATHER
Al White HOUSE
WASHINGTON, May 81


The White House was the scene to-
day of the assemblage of many of the
most distinguished figures in the pol
itical and industrial life OF the ma
tiou. 1t was, perhaps, one of the most
notable gatherings that has ever met
to consider great public question in
that historic mansion.
The occasion was the conference of
President Roosevelt with the Govern
ors of nearly all the States and Ter
ritories to consider the broad question
Of conservation of the country = natur-
al resources The conference will con-
tinue through Friday.
GOVERNMENT REPRESENTED.
The men who know how the natural
resources of the country have been
wasted-captain of industry who have
dealt with the resources aud experts
who have studied the conditions-told
of the nations prodigality in the ex-
ploitatiou and consumption of its ma
tural resources.
The conference is the outgrowth of
the recommendation of the Inland
Waterways convention to President
Roosevelt. The idea of such a gather
ing met with the Presidents enthusi-
astic approval. Later President
Roosevelt made public a letter invit.
ing the Governors of the States to at
tend the conference. In this communi.
cation the President declared that
there is no other question now before
the nation of equal gravity with the
conservation of the country's natural
resources. Long before 10 clock wher
the conference was called to order in
the famous East room in the White
House by President Roosevelt, those
who took part in the great gathering
began to arrive.

SCARLET DRAWS
SKETCH On CASE
HARRISBURG. MAY 1a.

uAhhlpb ~ NJ, May 10.
The presentation of the states case
to the jury in the second of the trials
for alleged grating" in the furnish
ing of the new capitol, with Congress
man H. Burd Cassel. Architect Joseph
NJ. Houston, and Shumaker, Snyder,
Mathues and Irvine. former state offici-
ais. as defendants, was made today by
James Scarlet, special counsel for the
commonwealth. The completion of the
jury in one day had caused some sur
prise.
SCARLET'S ARRANGEMENT.
The strongest point made by Scarlet
was that while there is no direct evid-
ence of an agreement among the de-
PENDANTS, the facts and circumstances
to be brought out in testimony clearly
prove the commission of deed
amounting to conspiracy to defraud
the state. Scarlet outlined the charges
showing the specific allegations that
the defendants presented and paid a
bill for SIT, 7S9. 70 for metallic furnlt-
ure supplied by Cassel's firm, the
Pennsylvania Construction company,
when the proper sum was $l2, 500, go.
Furniture billed at l, $50 feet ouly con-
tanned l, ia feet, the prosecutor de-
clared.
PROOF OF CONSPIRACY.
He also alleged that charges had
been made for heavy metallic furnit.
ure only, when they should have been
for both heavy and light furniture
"Cassel rendered the bill. Huston cer-
titled it, the auditor approved it, Irvine
measured the cases and certified the
measurements and the treasurer paid
the bill, " Scarlet asserted. Never
theless the measurements are incorrect
and this fact, and Others of similar
character, establish proof of conspir-
acy -
Much OF Scarlet's address was sim
liar to his speech in the first trial. By
agreement among the lawyers much
testimony in the way of records will
be admitted without challenge, thus
saving time and enabling the taking
of interesting testimony almost from
the start
