Fire Protection.
INSPECTOR DELANEY ORDERS ENFORCE
MENT OF NEW LAW.
Affects Picture Theatre.

Orders have been issued to all
deputy factory inspectors to ell
force the new State law requiring
fire escapes and other precautions
on public places. In his orders
Chief Inspector John c. Delaney
says:
This act supersedes all previous
acts as to fire esca pes and is a great
improvement OH them. 1t does not
include churches and ordinary
dwelling houses. 1t settles beyond
controversy the vexed question as
to lodge halls, as they are named
among buildings subject to its re-
requirements.
You will note that ways of
egress and means of escape may
be either fire escapes on the out
side or 'stairways on the inside.
You will observe that the provi-
sions as to doors, passageways and
landings apply only to buildings
used or occupied by fifty or more
persons.
THE section which has to do
with theaters and like buildings
covers matters relating to exits,
doorways.' aisles, lighting, electric
wiring, drop curtains and borders,
fire extinguishers and illuminated
exit fire escapes. Now for the first
time we have law requiring doors
to open outward and that fire ex-
tinguishers be provided and speci-
flying the number and the width of
aisles in both auditoriums and gal
leries.
"The act specifies. also, that ex-
ternal fire escapes shall be of
wrought iron and shall be kept in
standard condition and painted
once year.
"This is by far the most far
reaching and important piece of
legislation put upon the depart
ment for enforcement, and it has
in view the safety and saving of
human lives. not only of those em-
ployed, but also of men, women
and children in all manner of plac-
es where education, healing or
amusement is sought, as we'll as in
tenements, apartments and flats
where they are domiciled. Com
pliance with its provisions will be
without fear or favor"

Electricity for Farms.
The Harwood Plant 10 Furnish Light fol
Houses and Barn

Calvin Pardee, of Philadelphia,
and other capitalists associated
with him in the Harwood Power
company that is erecting NAM
moth power plant at Harwood, near
Hazleton, have given public notice
of their intention to form compan-
les in Black Creek, Foster, Sugar
loaf, Nescopeck and Butler town,
ships, all within a radius of twelve
miles of Haz!eton, for electric light
ing and the furnishing of current.
These companies will get their
power from the Harwood plant and
will tap field that does not now
enjoy the use of electricity, and
will enable farmers to light their
homes and barns and run their
machinery with electric instead OF
gasoline power or by the employ
ment of horses.
The extension OF the service of
the Harwood concern is in line
with the intention of the company
to girdle six counties in this part
of the State.

Endurance Walks.

Pennsylvania State Colleges de-
partment Of forestry is just COM
pleting arrangements to hold three
endurance walking contests for its
students. 1t plans a two days
endurance test of 90 miles, one
day endurance test and speed
test of 20 miles. These tests will
be open to the forestry students
only, and will be entirely optional.
Merchants in the village of State
College and in Bellefonte have
promised prizes which will be OF
considerable inducement to those
students entering the contest. The
departments wish is to put these
tests through because of their value
m interesting its students in walk
ing, and because they will give the
men an idea of what is necessary
to carry in one and TWO days
woods trips, as the tests will re-
quire the men to carry their rations.

Who knows Conrad Hederick ?
A Fortune Awaits Him or His Heirs.

The following clipped from a
Schuylklll county paper may bring
the information desired:
IA fortune is awaiting the heirs
of Conrad Hedericb. Probate Judge
Johnson, in a letter from N. w.
Webb, police officer of New York
City, the latter asks the Judge to
help him find Conrad Hederich, an
old German soldier, about seventy
years of age, who is supposed to
have died in this country within
the past three years. The name
Hederich seems to have become ex-
tinct. 1t may be that the proper
way to spell the name is Heiden-
lei III, and that the Heidenreich
family is a branch of the family
called Hederich.
Conrad Hederich came to
America from Germany in 1882.
Any record of his whereabouts pre-
vious to 1905 will be gladly appre-
ciated. He had three daughters,
Dorothy, Catherine and Anna, and
it is believed resided at one time
i'll Mahanoy City or Hazleton."

BIG CIRCUS AT SUNBURY.
Barnum and Bailey TO Exhibit There
on WEDNESDAY JUN. O,

The Barnum & Bailey greatest
show on earth is to visit Sunbury
on Wednesday, June 9th. Never
since the beginning of time has an
amusement enterprise so tremen-
dous in size been organized as this
one. Its magnitude is almost be-
yond belief. All America togeth-
er with every foreign country, has
been secured from end to end by
agents of this big show in search
of novelties and the result is a per-
formance brim full of sensational
acts new to the circus world In
the big Barnum & Bailey show are
nearly 400 arenic stars, most of
whom are seen now for the first
time. A new sensation will be
seen at every performance in GU
PITER, the balloon horse" This
remarkable animal with its fearless
rider ascends TO the dome of the
circus tent in balloon and des-
cends to the ground in shower of
fireworks. Nearly 1000 animal
wonders are to be found in the big
IoS cage menagerie. s herds of
elephants, including one herd that
actually plays upon musical instru-
ments in time and tune. A group
of giant giraffes, monster trained
hippopotamus, only living BIZ
horned rhinoceros and hundreds of
other strange beasts. Barnum &
Balley's big, new, free street pa
rade is the most gorgeous process
sional display ever attempted in the
history of circus business. Its tre-
mendous size and wonderful length
can only be believed in the actual
seeing. 1t is natural to expect this
big circus to lead all others in quail
ity and quantity of its street spec
tacle as wei! as in other depart
ments of the big show, yet never
in its splendid history of nearly
half century has it displayed such
extravaganza as is shown this year.

Boring for Oil Again.

Bradford county is again to be
the scene of active gas and oil op-
erations. The Natural Gas Com.
pany of Pittsburg, a corporation
capitalized at half a million dollars,
through its representative, Mr..
Worthington, has leased over 1000
acres of land in Monroe, Albany
and Barclay townships.
Many years ago the oil craze
struck Bradford county, and wells
were bored in many places. 1t was
about the same time that the Green
Creek Petroleum Company was bor-
ing for oil in Columbia county, and
the results were exactly similar in
both cases.
