FIRE WIPES OUT
 ENTIRE FAMILY IN
 HOBOKEN TENEMENT
Especial from United Press.)

Especial from United Press.)
 Hoboken, Aug. "A rigorous in- vestigation to determine the cause of a fire that wiped out an entire fam fly, mortally injured a rescuer and seriously injured a mother and her two children, was begun today. The last night Louis and Marie Biazetti and their two sons were penned in their rooms on the second floor and burned to death. Oscar Aces, a vol unteer fireman who tried to force his way through the flames, was so bad ly burned he will probably die.
 Mrs. Rapetti Labella, after her husband had fled, leaving her and her two children in their blazing rooms, endeavored to carry the little ones out but fell unconscious in the path of the flames. She and her children were rescued by fremen.

BOOKS OF BEDDING TOWN CLERK TO GO
 IN TOWNS VAULT
Clerk is Suffering With Affec- tiOn of the Heart to Which He Has Been Subject For Years
Lightning Strikes Twice, and One
 Bolt Spells 39 Fence Posts Poor Boy Becomes Rich Man.

Bedding, Aug. 1.-The controversy
 between the selectmen and the town clerk regarding the place where the town records shall be kept is over. Last week the board voted to make a demand upon MT. Nickerson that he transfer, forthwith, the books and documents in question from his resi- dence to the vault in the town house. On receipt of this notice the clerk made it known that he would comply, but asked the privilege, as a matter of convenience, of keeping some of the later volumes in the safe at his house. He was informed that this concession would be accorded, provided the safe was pronounced satisfactorily fire proof by an expert. For several days MT. Nickerson has been i'll from gen. eral debility due to heart weakness. He has been subject to such attacks for the last two Or three years and his present condition is regarded so serious.
 The bond of J. Henry Duncan as tax collector has been accepted by the selectmen. His sureties are MT. and Mrs. J. Arthur Sherwood, George s. Banks and Mrs. Lizzie Duncan. Mr. Duncan will actively enter upon his official duties, Aug. 23, being on that day in Georgetown to receive tax pay ments.
 The selectmen have decided to intro duce this year the innovation of hav- ing the collector promptly send bills to the taxpayers, both resident and nonresident, something which has never before been done in this town. Last Saturday when the board look ed over the rate book prepared for the collector they found it imperfect in various respects, the main fault being that the poll Or military tax was the names of parties subject to these dues. The rate book was compiled by Assistant Town Clerk Hazen and owing to it's deficiencies Selectman Pinkney will make a new book.
 Two lightning bolts from the severe electrical storm of last Thursday morning left their impression in Lone town. One struck a large tree on the farm of John c. Read, splitting off a section of it and then skipping to a barbed wire fence near by. It followed the fence for about twenty rods and demoralized the posts on the way, fairly splintering some and all of them, 39 in number, for fu- ture use. Another bolt landed on a good sized sapling near the house of George Williams. The tree was demolished and the terrific crash threw the Williams children into a panic of fear although none of them was in- jured.

14.0OO ARMY RECRUITS

Paris, Aug. 4-The French school system is coming in for the severest censure today because of the publica- tion of the fact that more than 14,- 900 of this years recruits for the army can neither read nor write. Education in France is supposed to be compulsory until the age of IS but the finding of such an army of jlliterates among the military recruits has convinced the authorities that a large percent of the population is es- caping the compulsory law.

Preservation Of scenic Beauty.

Preservation Of Scenic Beauty.
A new method for the preservation
of scenic beauty is indicated in q Dc.
.cision recently handed down by the
United States District court sitting
at Pueblo. Colo. A water and power
company sought, by means Of con.
domination proceedings, to divert va.
ter which produced falls that were
the chief attraction Of a tourist re.
sort. The resort company resisted.
on the ground that diversion of the
water meant the destruction of that
scenic beauty which was its chief as.
set. The falls are now protected by
a permanent injunction.
! Similar steps might have saved the
Dells Of the Wisconsin. which, after
many years Of well-deserved fame,
have been sacrificed to light and
power company = Milwaukee. Like
proceedings might serve to save the
valley Of the Hetch-Hetchy. in Cali.
fornia, now threatened by San Fran.
cisco.
/, 1t would be well. Of course. II nns
scenery might be frankly saved for
Its own sake. The formation Of 70.
sort companies with vested rights
points out way which, while NOT
fully worthy. seems to be effective.
