A dummy lying across the street car

A hurry call to the police. stating that a
man had been killed, resulted in a run by

collected from nearby lodging houses and
employment agencies, and they were con-

ALEXANDER MAY RETAIN HIS 0LO PLACE

PHOENIX. Ariz.. Nov. 2l-( (Special) -Tttt J. l.. B. Alexander will be co- lected to succeed himself as United States attorney for Arizona by Pres ident Taft when his term expires in December is the opinion generally ex- pressed among local politicians in Phoenix today
 Alexander Is said to have the most powerful endorsements Of any of the aspirants for the position He is said to be strongly recommended for the place by several leading Repub- licans and others outside of Arizona
 That Alexander is an aspirant for re-appointment was stated today by one of hsi strongest supporters. who said that friends of Alexander have been using their influence in behalf of the present United States attorney for some time.
 No little surprise has followed the announcement that F. c. Dezendorf is an aspirant for the place. Dezen- dorf has strong eastern backing. He is now chief of the division of the land department and recently refused an important legal position in Wash ington.
 Friends. of J. E. Morrison of Bisbee, are working hard in his behalf. Rumor has it that charges may be filed in Washington against Morrison by At tcrney ". P. Richardson Of Douglas. The nature of these charges could not be learned today.
 Morrison was the principal spokes- man for Delegate Ralph Cameron in the last territorial campaign. Came ron Is said to have endorsed Nor rison and to be doing what he can to bring about his appointment.
 As far as George E. Tralles of Tue son is concerned, local Republican leaders do not appear to consider him 8 factor in the fight for this import ant government berth.
 Tralles is said. however. to have eastern connections that may make his chances look brighter later on. Local attorneys are said to figure Tralles as the fourth man in the race.

The Queen of the Moulin Rouge" styled a musical comedy, has proven so nauseating in the eastern theatres that at times its performers have been booted from the stage by the more discriminating theatre-goers. In ev. cry city where it appears, blue-coated coppers are back of the scenes, as well as a censor or two in front of the house. In every instance, without exception, where it has appeared, the police have had. to curtain the lines and much of the business, as well as a song for common decency's sake. af. ter which, devoid of the glamor of it's lewd and suggestive inery. it drags totteringly along the balance of the engagement. receiving little or no support from patrons who love clean theatricals. It has reached the level Of a common burlesque show and east ern critics class 1t as not even having e place on the burlesque stage, as bur lesnu7 shows do not need half so much watching from the city authorities as does "The Queen or the Moulin Rouge"

NEW ROAD LAW.
Improved Roads are Costing too
Much
Says Mr.. Greasy Revision Necessary =
Would Abolish Road Work Tax.

Under the caption of Good
Roads," Hon. William T. Greasy,
recently elected master of the Penn
sylvania State Grange, in the
Grange monthly publication calls
the present township and state road
laws unsatisfactory, and suggests
that the Legislature should revise
them materially. AS chairman of
the legislative committee of the
Patrons of Husbandry at the AL.
toona meeting in December, Rep
resentative Greasy contended the
taxpayers were not getting value
received" from the roads that are
being constructed at s., 900 and
$40, 900 per mile by the state high
way department. costs and
methods of building improved high
ways" he says in his communica-
ton, "are somewhat misunder-
stood. Farmers have to build and
maintain practically all the roads,
while others are interested in good
highways leading from one large
city to another. Should the town
ship supervisors levy a tax to be
used mostly on these intercounty,
or main roads, and neglect the
great bulk of the township roads,
fault would be found by the greater
number of the taxpayers, because
more taxpayers live on the more
important thoroughfares. 1t costs
certain amount of money each
year to keep the township roads in
repair so they may be even passa-
BILE. The idea that the tax could
all be used to improve a piece of
road each year and neglect the bal
ance of the highways is an error
many good-road people have made.
Every taxpayer wants better roads,
and to this end the Grange asks a
change in the present township road
law. We favor the passage Of the
bill that provides for a cash tax,
and that the state shall pay the
township fifty per cent. of the a
mount of cash tax levied, limiting
the amount paid 70 each township
to $50 for each mile of road; also
the repeal of the 81 per capita tax
that has created endless trouble.
This plan will help the poorer
townships in the state. To build
and maintain better highways in
the townships will require better
supervision, and that will cost more
money"

LACKAWANNA TO EXTEND.
Hartman Road From Northumberland South
to Maryland.

Reports in railroad circles during
the past month indicate strongly
the bettering of the Lackawanna
Railroad between Scranton and
Northumberland and the construc.
tion, by E. H. Hartman, of con-
Meeting link between NorthumDer-
land and Hancock, Maryland and
thence to the Atlantic seaboard.
For some weeks officials of the
Lackawanna and Delaware and
Hudson Railroads have been going
over the line from Scranton to Nor
thumberland, viewing it with the
contractors, with the supposed pur-
pose of rebuilding the line.
A prominent banking house in
New York city has been buying all
offerings of the Western Maryland
Railroad stock and has even pur-
chased large stock of its bonds in
order to secure the stock held by
the bondholders. This purchase
was made abroad. This banking
house is closely identified with the
Lackawanna and the Hartman in
terests.
The conclusion drawn from these
activities is that line is about to
be built from Northumberland to
Hancock, Maryland, 10 connect the
Lackawanna system with the West
ern Maryland line and open up a
large territory of fertile lands, lum-
Der, coal and iron.
Such line would probably pass
through Selinsgrove, Richfeld,
Mifflintown and from the Juniata
river through the Broad Top re-
gion and Fulton county. Fulton
county is the only county in Penn
sylvania not having a railroad.
Such line would allow Harri-
man to send his traffic from the
southwest to the eastern points
without placing it on Pennsylvania
trackage. He has at no time been
friendly with the Pennsylvania.

COAL FOR IS YEARS.

According to Prof. VIM. Grif-
fiths, mining expert and geologist
of Scranton, the entire supply of
anthracite coal will be exhausted in
eighty-fve years. His estimates on
the supply are based on 1905 sur
veys. The production has been
averaging just under 80, 900, 900
tons. Already much territory is
entirely mined out and the empty
caverns are so numerous and great
now that it is possible for people to
walk twenty or thirty or more
miles under the surface of the
earth in mine passageways. Ea.
Expert testimony on the subject
of the quantity of coal still in the
ground, is about as reliable as ex-
pert testimony upon the subject of
the coming of the millennium. They
differ so much in their opinions,
which are based largely on guess
work, that the ordinary mind is led
to the conclusion that the experts
do not know very mitch about it.

DIED IN NEW MEXICO.

Although it was known that he
had been i'll for some time, the
news that Raymond Hummer had
died on Friday, at Fort Bayard,
New Mexico, was a shock to all
his friends, for it was not thought
by any one that the end was so
near.
He was the second son of Mr..
and Mrs. John N. Hummer of
Berwick, and brother of DeForest
]. Hummer1of this town. He was
born in Danville on April 2, 1885,
SO that he would have been "a
years old in April next. His par
ents moved to Bloomsbury some
yeare ago. and here he learned the
machinists trade.
On January 27, 1908, he went to
Pottsville and enlisted in the
United States Army as musician,
and was sent to Fort Slocum for
his equipment and to be sworn in.
He was good clarinet player, and
had played in the Berwick Band,
in the Bloomsbury Band, and in
Repasz' Twelfth Regiment Band of
Williamsport.
At Fort Slocum he contracted
a heavy cold and last July he was
sent to the Government Hospital,
at Fort Bayard, New Mexico, and
had been in failing health ever
since.
Since his death last Friday, let
tiers from him have been received
by his father and brother, one
written on the 26th. and the other
on the 2Sth, the very day of his
death. In both of them he seemed
hopeful, and spoke of coming home
soon, as his enlistment would soon
expire and he would return to his
friends here. There was not a word
of complaint, nor anything to indi-
cate that he realized the serious
ness of his condition. These letters.
coming as they did after his life
mad gone out, were ike voice
from the dead.
The remains were to have been
shipped on Saturday, but for some
reason they were not started by
express until Monday night, and
will probably not reach here before
Friday or Saturday. The funeral
will be held from the residence OF
DeForest Hummer on Fifth street,
but the time cannot be definitely
fixed until the arrival of the body.
Raymond was fine young man,
member of St. Pauls Episcopal
Church, and of the choir, and was
popular with all his acquaintance.
His death is peculiarly sad, just as
he was budding into manhood,
and in strange place far from
home and friends. His parents and
brother, and sister, Mrs. B. F.
Kelly of Danville, have the heart
felt sympathy of the community in
their affliccion.
