Planning For Opera
ton Of Enamel Plant
Working Capital Of Company
Increased to Meet New Op-
Grating Expenses.

G. A. Conrath, OF Indiana, was in
Reynoldsville Friday looking after the
interest Of his company IN the recently
acquired 'steel plant" The company's
plans for reorganizing their business
on a larger basis after putting the
Reynoldsville plant In operation are
far reaching and will necessitate slight
issue OF treasury stock to provide oper-
ating expenses. The selling OF this
stock, however, Is being conducted by
representatives Of the company or their
authorized agents and the purchase OF
the Reynoldsville plant is in no wise
contingent on Its hotation. The com.
pany's stock is held largely in Indiana
county and Is on dividend basis, being
to that extent good investment for
any person desiring 1t. A number Of
Reynoldsville people have expressed a
desire to share in the prosperity Of the
concern and for their benefit and for
others who wish safe and conserv-
ative investment, it is probable that
small block will be given to a Reyn-
oldsville agent. 1t should be regarded
strictly as an investment privilege how
ever and is not connected in any way
with the recent work Of the Association
In negotiating the deal.
Among the prominent stockholders
in this company are Ex-Congressman
Summers M. Jack, Hon. John S. Fisher,
W. A. Guthrie, Hon. T. M. Kurtz and
other gentleman we'll known in Reyn-
oldsville.

Justice of the Peace Eighty Years
Old Arrested For Incendiarism
Hawthorne Profoundly Stirred
By the Developments Of
The Past Week.
THREE MEN LODGED IN JAIL

Intense excitement was caused In
Hawthorne and surrounding territory
Saturday by the action of the State
Constabulary In arresting Justice Of the
Peace j. A. Timlin, man almost
eighty years OF age, on charge Of COM
plicity In incendiarism. At the same
time two young men, William Latshaw,
Jr., aged II. and Charles Schrecongost,
aged IS, were arrested charged with
completely in the deeds.
Since November the citizens Of Haw-
thorne have been kept in terror by
repeated fires OF incendiary origin.
Five barns and one house were des.
Atroyed and no clue could be found to
be origin. The State Constabulary
IS finally called in and through de.
ttive work finally secured evidence
plicating Latshaw. The young man
1Uenied his guilt at first but process
of sweating brought out full confess
sion, in which Schrecongost was named
as his partner in the incendiary acts
and Timlin as the instigator. The aged
justice refused to talk when arrested.
II found gully as charged, all three will
receive penitentiary sentences not ex-
ceeding twelve years.
The alleged reason for Squire Tim
Inns downfall is that he had long de-
sired to purchase hotel owned by AL.
Simpson, but being unable to secure
it lawfully, had had the barns burned
around it in the hope of the fire reach
ing and destroying the hotel. Timlin's
whole career had been honorable. BE
is we'll known in his own county and
the news OF his alleged completely in
incendiarism created profound sem
sation.

Having read in your paper of the

FIRST WIRELESS TELEGRAPH
EXHIBIT in REYNOLDSVILLE
A Scientific Demonstration Of
Special Interest in Par1or
Of Imperial Hotel.
WITNESSED BY LOCAL PEOPLE

The first demonstration OF wireless
telegraphy since its discovery was made
in Reynoldsville Friday afternoon and
evening, February 18th, In the parlor
of the Imperial hotel. G. B. Kemp,
representing we'll known wireless
telegraph and telephone company, was
in charge OF the exhibition and auently
and obigingly explained to all who
called the mysteries OF the great in
vention. Mr.. Kemp is former news
paper man, starting his career under
Henry Watterson, Of the Louisville
COu,ier.Jo,unal and terminating it as
Washington correspondent Of John r.
McLean's Cincinnati Enquirer.
While Mr.. Kemp came in the in
terest Of his company, the demonstra-
tion In itself was OF great educational
value and 1t is to be regretted that 80
few Of our people took advantage OF the
opportunity to become familiar with an
invention that in point Of service to
humanity will rank In Importance with
any discovery of the last century.
The model carried by Mr.. Kemp is
only miniature, with low power bat
teries, but sufficient to show the won
derful possibilities OF the instruments.
On stand In the center OF the parlor
was placed the receiving apparatus
with its wiry brass aerostaff towering
In the air. AT another end OF the room
Mr.. Kemp operated the sending ma
chine, equipped with the regular tele-
graph key and also having its aerostaff
vibrating high overhead. Between the
the machines there was no wire, nor
connection Of any kind, but at the
touch OF the operators hand on the
sending key, there was immediate re-
sponse In the receiver across the room.
To better show the nature OF the
electric connection, Mr.. Kemp picked
up his sending battery and walked out
side the parlor wherein sat the re-
C6lViuo apparatus iuo uooto Woio
closed and thick partition placed be-
tween the two machines. At the touch
OF the key outside the subtle electricity
found It's easy way instantaneously from
the aerostaff outside, through the wall,
to the aerostaff inside, and the message
was ticked off.
This was demonstration In minia-
ture Of the great discovery that In
actual use sends an electric message
thousands OF miles across ocean and
mountain, despite storms and climatic
differences to a station where there is
an instrument accurately tuned to re-
ceive it. One may read much OF the
method Of doing 1t, but until present
at the actual transmitting can hardly
realize the real Importance Of the
| achievement.

Want Damages For
Property Destroyed
Aftermath Of the Florence Fight
Between Constabu1ary and
Italians.

1t will be recalled that about two
years ago intense excitement was
caused in this section through the at
tempt OF the state constabulary to
capture an alleged "Black Hand"
italian in house at Florence, In their
efforts finally dynamiting and burning
down the house. Last week Senator
T. M. Kurtz introduced into the legis-
lature bill requesting permission to
sue the state for property damages sus-
tanned through the action Of the con-
stabulary. $500 is the amount asked
by the Italians whose property was
burned. The question involved is not
the right OF the state policemen to des-
troy property in order to arrest and
take into custody criminals, but wheth-
err or not the state is liable for damages
to property so destroyed and owned
by law.abiding citizens not responsible
In any way for the offender pursued by
the constabulary.

while directly behind him stood the

to witness the first full demonstration
OF the power he had evolved. On the
bridge of the battle ship the British
admiral stood, surrounded by staff of

the war certainty; hence it was with
patience that the administration
waited for the next move in the far
east, which must of necessity come
China. There was no doubt that she
would assist her ally At first this
seemed an imminent action; but sew
eral days passed bringing through the
secret service no news save that her
fleet, huge and well manned, was
making preparations to sail. The
president, knowing that for the accom-
plishment of his purpose oriental
power must be broken, INDUCED in the
fervent hope that the attack might
come soon.
There was less trouble internally,
as the people were beginning to have
faith in the administration, though
they were specializing as to what
course of procedure was being fol.
lowed. 1t was while affairs were in
this condition that the sailing of the
British fleet was duly announced
through secret channels of informa-
ton. The coterie saw before it the
necessity of either abandoning the
hope of teaching China drastic lesson
and announcing it's secret to the world
or meeting the British squadrons and
holding them hostage in the interest
of peace. They chose the latter alter
native, and thereby was caused the
strangest chapter in the history of war.
Like that other sally outward to the
western seas, this one was timely. 1t
was made when the British fleet might
be met beyond the reach of wireless

telegraph communication, and the pc
parture from the key was also under
cover Of darkness. Again there was q
resemblance to the Japanese affair,
In that the appearance of the radio
planes created surprise and consterna-
ton on the warships Here, however,
the similarity ended. The Anglo
Saxon mind knows no such thing as
surrender when once 1t Is stirred to
the depths of It's stubbornness. 1t can
read only two answers to the riddle
of confiict-victory or death-as has
been attested by many hard-fought
battle on land and sea.
The armada of Great Britain had
sailed with apprehensions, being fully
cognizant that 1t was invading terri
tory of mystery and danger, and the
vigilance of. its watch, therefore, was
never relaxed. The CONSERVATION
caused by the first sight of the aerial
fleet was Immediately followed by a
hurried clearing of the decks for ac-
tion, although defeat in battle
against such overpowering odds was a
foregone conclusion. No gun was
fired, however, and all stood expec-
family awaiting declaration of intent
from the monsters of the air which
had come upon them in the full glare
of the afternoon sun.
With slow and stately majesty the
radioplanes approached, each flying
the flag of the United States and be-
meath it the emblem of truce. The
Dreadnought, answering sluggishly
to the swell and hurting great cascades
of water from its bow, was in the
heart of the formation, and in it's pom
derous might seemed fearless of any
thing afloat. Toward it the foremost
radioplane directed Its course, drop

Polite officers forwarded appeals
from the chamber of commerce to
Washington; but the government an
swered that there was no alternative,
because - If the secret was known
throughout the United States the
chances for its leakage across the
lines would be augmented All Sound
traffic stopped, and from the great
union depot no departing trains rum
bled. Within an hour it was known
that a Gordon of soldiers surrounded
the city. and that all traffic or COM
munication with the outside world
was interdicted. Seattle had been iso-
lated.
Thus 1t was that the presence of the
captured fleet and the method of its
taking were unknown to the country
at large. Seattle extended all consis-
tent courtesies to the vanquished;
but 1t afforded little balm.
And thus it was that for many days,
imprisoned, powerless, and lost, with
crippled tops, crushed stacks and un-
der the white flag of surrender, the
flower of Japanese prowess floated on
an inland sea in sullen mourning,
while the gasping world shuddered in
contemplation of its fate.
