FORESTS BURN, LABOR

WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA, EAST

GINA LACK RAIN.

Pittsburg, Pa.-With losses aggregat-
ing several million dollars from forest
fires and heavy damage to crops and
live stock and the reported loss of a
number of lives due to fighting timber
fires, the enforced idleness Of thousands
of workmen, owing to suspension be-
cause of lack of water, the health au.
thorities anticipating serious epidemics
of contagious diseases, and many small
streams dried up and practically oblit-
Grated, the drouth of 1908 which has
held western Pennsylvania, eastern
Ohio and West Virginia for two months
remains unbroken, each day gradually
increasing the seriousness of the situa.
ton
Serious Congestion of Coal
While in the Pittsburg district the
water supply is sufficient to carry on
all business, the low stage of the rivers
has caused a congestion of much coal
in this vicinity. Every available barge
and float has been loaded with coal and
at present, with almost 10000 OOC
bushels in the Pittsburg harbor, the
river coal mines have been compelled
to shut down. There are about $4,000
miners employed in the river mines
along the Monongahela valley.
This great feet of coalers is for the
supply Of points in the west and south
and the probabilities are that there
will be coal famine, especially in the
northwest, should conditions prevent
shipment of the coal before cold weathel
sets in.
Great Factories Close.
In West Virginia lumber plants, glass
factories and iron and steel mills 10
Gated along the rivers are closed on &C
count of insufficient water. In eastern
Ohio the same conditions prevail ant
it is feared the great iron and stee
mills at Youngstown, Ohio, employin,
over 10000 men, will have to suspend
operations unless the drouth is speedil,
broken.
In all sections of the dry zon
prayers are offered up daily and thes
prayers will continue until they ar
answered with rain.
Rains in Michigan and Wisconsin.
Forest fires which have been ragin
in northern Michigan and Wisconsin fo
some time have been drenched by rain
of last night and today and all DANCE
for the present is removed, it is re
ported.

Married Men Willing TO
Prove Skill And

There has long been an unsettled
controversy between the married and
single men OF the Oahu Country Club
as to their relative merits at the golf
ing game. The bachelors maintain
that because of the fact that they DO
not have TO walk the floor at night or
do any of the many other arduous
duties supposed to fall to the lot Of
the benedict, they are always in con.
ditiCn to swing a club viciOusly for a

ried man Is unable to carry out any
real athletic sport because he is con.
tinually tied down. The foregoing
are only few Of the sly slams and
teasing taunts that have been handed
out to the bGnedlcts for long time.
Now, in righteous indignation, the
latter have risen to the occasion and
declared themselves willing at any
time to meet the boosters in the un.
married class. They win defend their
honor and reputation at any cost.

STATUS Of GRAND
JURY Is DEFINED
Judge Dole Denominates
1t the Conscience Of
The Community

In his charge to the Federal Grand
Jury yesterday, Judge Dole outlined
his idea as TO the real mission OF
Grand Juries and the part which
the conscience of the community"
should play. The Judge said in part:
In a sense, the Grand Jury may
be said to be the conscience of the
community Sitting apart from the
turmoil of business and the distrac-
tons OF social excitements, 1t enjoys
ness in relation to those acts which
are inconsistent with individual or
public rights and so tend to subvert
the laws and thereby prejudice the
interests of society. In its represen-
tative capacity II carries large re-
possibilities in relation to the well
fare of the body polite, which sense
of responsibility can hardly fail 10
promote watchfulness toward crimi-
nal developments as hostile to such
welfare, and that sentiment of fair
play which would protect persons
| charged with the commission of Of
I lenses against the laws, from public
/ ity and the odium of public trials, ex-
| Cept upon probable cause supported
ly competent evidence sufficient, I'M
less contradicted or otherwise ex-
| Elained, to warrant conviction.
| This representative quality of the
Grand Jury is most important ele-
ment in the value of its work. where
| by the public is kept in touch with
the proceedings of the criminal side
of the court. 1t is highly probable
that in those systems where the pros
ecuting officer has the responsibility
of bringing indictments, the work is
generally as well done by such an Of
! tiCer as by the average Grand Jury,
! but the secondary benefit to the COM
munity Is lost,-that- effect on public
sentiment which comes from the pub
lie taking part in and assuming some
of the responsibilities of criminal
proceedings against violators OF laws,
as in the case under the Grand Jury
system.
THE operation of this system has
an educative influence upon the body
Of citizens from which the jurors are
drawn, gradually acquainting 1t
with the principles and objects of the
criminal laws and the methods by
which they are enforced, thereby in
culCating respect for good laws and
developing a critical intelligence as
to. defective or unjust legislation.
which must favorably affect public
sentiment and eventually the law
making authority. The effect of Sc
rious recognition by the citizen OF the
supremacy of law, 1t need hardly be
said, is of the utmost value in the
promotion of civil order and the pro-
lection of national and private inter-
ests."

Ten Arrests Made.

Bicycle riders and hackmen are
having a tough time of it with the
police just now. At the last SEES
sion of the city council the council
the attention of the police was
called to the ordinance forbiddlng
riding bicycles on the sidewalks
and as well the ordinance for all
hacks to carry light after dark.
One councilman stated that these
ordinances were being flagrantly
violated and that the police must
put a stop to it. So the result
has been that yesterday eight per
sons were summoned before the
MAYOR for riding wheels on the
sidewalks and one for operating a
hack after dark without a light
and this morning one more was
brot before the mryor. They were
all given one dollar OF five days.
All paid the dollar.

Young Mother
Narrow Escape.
Mrs. John Adams Was
In Bed and Helpless
When Fire Broke
Out.

But for the fact that Mrs. }. A.
Murdoch happened to drop in on
Mrs. John Adams yesterday
morning the latter would have been
alone in the house when it took
fire. The servant girl had left for
up town to do some marketing and
Mrs. Murdoch was sitting talking
to her sister in law who but a few
days ago gave birth to girl baby,
when a negro woman rushed In
and excitedly told them that the
house was afire.
Mrs. Murdoch rushed out and
an alarm was hurriedly tele-
phoned to the fire department..
Mrs. Murdoch then assisted anoth-
er person to carry Mrs. Adams
over to the house of a neighbor
where she was made as comfOrta-
BILE as possible.
By this time the fire had gained
such Roadway that it was impos-
sible to get much if anything out
of the burning building. The
fremen arrived promptly but a
little time was lost in getting
enough hose from the hYdrant to
the building. The flames were
soon COTTON under control, how
ever, but not until the building
was practically ruined and the
contents badly damaged from
water.
The house is q frame one On
west Orange street and belongs to
Mrs. Sydney Clare. 1t is under
stood that neither the building or
contents were insured.
Mr.. Adams is express messen ger
on the Thomasville branch OF the
A. B. & A. and was out on his
run at the time Of the happening.
