NEGRO HAS LONG
CAREER OF CRIME
Vanderbilt Bank, Arrested for Purse
Snatching, Il Identified as Penn
sylvania Desperate.

Vanderbilt Banks, Negro. nabbed
from the streets for the humble crime
OF purse-shatching, languishes In po-
lice headquarters. He languishes. be-
cause he Is not mere purse snatcher
by profession Vanderbilt Banks, who
boasts the proud alias. Joe Cans. is a
gun-toting bad man from Pennsylyan-
la, reduced for the moment 10 expedi'
ency Of petty crime.
July 4, Mr.. Vanderbilt Banks was
arrested here for stealing q box OF
soap, not that he needed the soap. but
he did need its equivalent In clean
cash.
Shortly after the soap episode came
letter from one w. II. Peters, lieuteh.
ant OF police, OF Freeport, Pa, In
which is set forth some of the past
performances of the redoubtaDle Mr.
Banks.
Lieut.. Peters observes In the letter
that he has very good reason to re-
member Mr.. Banks, because he was
once shot by the Negro. This little
pleasantly dates back to November 81
1907.
About that time Banks, alias Cans
ilourished as the leader of a gang OF
Negro desperadoes who had been ter.
rorizing small towns through Pennsyl.
vania. They operated In Blairsyille
first, and after they had drained that
town to the dregs they transferred
their attentions TO Edrie. They shot
up q section of that once-thriving com.
munity and left large deposit Of lead
as a souvenir of their visit
Next came Freeport, which proved
Joe Cans waterloo. Six miles east oil
there, the Negroes had pitched camp
the night of Nov. -, 1907. Lieut.
Peters, with a squad of officers, sur.
prised them and there was a fierce
revolver duel
Vanderbilt Banks has been positive.
ly identified by Lieut.. Peters as the
man who shot him through the groin.
Peters says he still carries the bullet.
But Peters did some execution. He
scys that II one were TO examine
hanks closely, one would find that he
vas almost perforated in the exchange
of courtesies. Banks carries an ugly
scar on his chest.
Peters says that two other Negroes
were shot and captured in the engage
ment. They are William Hall and
Henry Scott. The three Negroes
served two years In the Western Penn
sylvania penitentiary.
Banks was arrested here Sunday
night for snatching a purse from wo.
man who was walking along John
R.-st.
Monday, when he was being shown
up In police headquarters before the
detectives. Police Photographer
Charles Carmody recognized him
from a photograph which had been
sent on some time ago from the Penn.

similar to that familiar to all visitors
to the Flowery Kingdom who have
the good fortune to enter one OF the
charming tea houses and gardens
where dainty little kimona-clothed
maids present their quaint little
dances and songs for the pleasure OF
the guests. The act Is prettily staged,
with the lantern-lighted tea house In
the background and the Geishas In
white satin kimonas heavy with black
and gold and silver embroidery. Seat
ed On little teakwood stands they
play the odd, little native stringed in
struments, dance the native dances
and sing the native songs. Then TO
show that they can learn things
American, they twang out familiar
American tunes and speak quantity
combined English words as the
chorus of a delightful song number
that ends with a fan dance. the re.

Stars and Stripes. The Geishas are

Duty of the keystone State.

State Chairman Walton and his
associates in the direction of the
Republican campaign are highly
gratified over the enthusiastic re-
ception of Representative Tener
and other candidates ON their tour
of the State. Mr.. Tener and his
associates on the ticket have made
an excellent impression and have
aroused the Republicans of the
counties they have visited to a
high pitch of enthusiasm. In his
speeches Mr.. Tener has emphasize
ed the good result of Republican
administration in Pennsylvania.
He has made it plain that he in
tends that his administration shall
be as satisfactory to the people as
that OF Governor Stuart. Every
far minded man in this State will
concede that the Republican party
has never presented a better ticket
than the one before the people this
year. The delegates of the Harris
burg convention could not have i'm
proved upon the selections they
made. The ticket is composed of
able and public spirited men.
There is not the slightest doubt
OF Republican success in Pennsyl-
vania this year Mr.. Tener and
the other candidates on the State
ticket will be elected. That is
clear to everybody. But the Re-
publican majority should be 80
large that it will be progressive.
If the Republicans go to the polls
they will not only elect the State
ticket but will elect solid Re-
publican delegation in Congress,
and a State Legislature that will
choose IA Republican United States
Senator. Then the Keystone State
will have done its duty. 1t will
have proclaimed to the country
that it stands uncompromisingly
by the principles of the Republican
party in State and nation. 1t will
have set wholesome example in
year when enemies of the Republi-
can party are active, alert and hope

THE FORKSV|LLE FAIR.

The annual fair of the Sullivan
County Agricultural Society will
be held on the grounds at Forks
vile on October 4, ;, Is, and Z.
This fair promises to be better than
any OF previous years and much
larger attendance than ever before
is expected.
Among the attractions there will
be athletic events on Wednesday
and baseball on Thursday and
Friday. These features alone are
worth much more than the price of
admission as Sullivan County can
boast of some fine athletes and ball
players who have the ability to
put up an interesting exhibition of
the various sports.
The mcrry-go-rOund will also be
there to delight both young and old.
Many other new and up-to-date
attractions will be open for the
fair gocrs.
A new stock barn much superior
to the old one has been erected bv
the Society. Increased premiums
will be paid this year for exhibits.

Pennsylvania Not "Laggard' in
Conduct of Financial Affairs.

III loflicf papers tHe W|ltcT
thinks he showed conclusively that
Pennsylvania has never been d
''laggard' state in the constitution
of internal improvements for the
transportation of her coal, iron,
lumber, petroleum, and farm pro-
ducts to market, and of obtaining
needful supplies in return. He en-
devored to show that Pennsylvania,
instead of being 'laggard' state
in the cause of education, was a.
mong the very first to recognize
the Importance of the subject and
provide means for the education OF
all the children in the common
schools.
1t is now proposed to show that
the old Keystone state has not been
''laggard' delatory, or slow in pro-
viding ample means for the yearly
payment of her governmental ex-
penses, and the extinguishment OF
a public debt of more than 100000
900 incurred principally in digging
canals.
The Republican party, which has
been in control of the state govern
ment most of the time for fifty
years, has been unjustly charged
with burdensome and Unequal tax
alton of the people with the mis-
management of the public funds ex-
travagance in the public expendi-
lures and "grafting' by the pub
lie officials. These untruthf Ii flu
charges caused by party animosity
will be renewed and repeated daily
and hourly from now until after
election in November next. Let us
examine this matter a little.
To provide for the yearly govern.
mental expenditures, to pay the in.
terest on the public debt and finally
eXtinguish it was no small under
taking and could only have been ac.
complished by exceedingly able and
farsighted men who have been at
the head of the government and
who have successfully accomplish
ed the desirable result. Every dol
lar of the public debt has been paid
and the interest stopped. Taxes
have been imposed on the railroads,
banks and other rich corporations.
which provides ample revenue fol
all purposes without taxing farm.
ers' lands.
Formerly the farmers state tax
was nearly as much as their county
tax, but now every cent of it has
been removed. In the entire fire.
dom from any debt Pennsylvania
is not behind but far ahead of near
ly all other states, and in their re-
lease from all land taxation. the
farmers of this state are favored
and benefited above the agriculture
lists in most other parts of the I'm
ion. The editors and orators who
declare that Pennsylvania is a
'laggard'' state, that her patient
people have been misgoverned,
plundered and disgraced by her
public officials. have no evidence
whatever to support their charges.
They slander great common
wealth and its people either
through ignorance or through NAL
ice, doubtless the latter.
