Seeking New Pencil Woods

Recent conferences Of repre-
,eutatiyes Of the Department Of
Agriculture with sererat lead
pencil manufacturers have re-,
suited I'm plans for testing new
woods to lind out whether they
can be used in the pencil indus
try. According to some of the
manufacturers. the supply otred
ceder, which furnishes practi-
cally all the wood for the annual
output of some 325,000,000 pen
ellis, will be exhausted within
five years. A substitute must
be found which will white east.
ly which shall contain a large
amount of material free of knots
which shall not be porous, nor
spongy, nor unduly hard, and
which shall occurr in sufficient
quantities to meet the manu-
facturers demand.
In view of this and at the sug.
gestion of the pencil makers,
the Forest Service is to cooper
ate in test of a number of Nat
ional Forest Woods. Among
those to be tried are Rocky
Mountain red cedar, alligator
juniper, western juniper, red
wood, incense cedar, western
cedar, Port Oxford cedar, and
Alaska cypress. Wood speci-
mems collected from the National
Forests will be sent to four lead
ing manufacturers, who have
agreed to make pencils of them.
The manufacturer will keep a
record Of the tests and report to
the Forest Service the results,
as well as their judgement as to
fitness of the individual woods.
The forest Service is assisting
in this experiment because there
are on the National Forest large
quantities of jumpers and cedars
which may be suitable for pencil
manufacture. For several of
these woods no very valuable use
has yet been discovered. For
esters believe that in the future
the woods from the National
Forest may, to a considerable
extent is into use to supplement
the diminishing stock of eastern
woods, the supply of which has
received no protection.

The Town Builder

that community and advances
the growth and prosperity of

builders, even if only in the ca
pacity of a booster on the side

The booster on the side lines
is just the party who puts more

Yes there are knockers and
they are builders, the knocker is
a destroyer, the builder one who
keeps the car of process moving.
Register.
There are knockers who are
builders, it is true of the bust
ness world. The business man
who knocks down an old shack,
who destroys ramshackle build
ing to give place for fine i'm
provement is a knocker and a
destroyer, a knocker of inertia,
a destroyer of things that inn
pede progress.
There are knockers in politics
who are real builders. They
knock political machine; destroy
the prestage of corrupt or
mercenry politicians, who knock
on everything detrimental to
progress; their knocking be
comes building: they are respon-
sible for every advance made
in governmental matters, for
all the reforms instituted.
The real knocker and destroy
er in the business world is the
man who always fights improve
ments, who maintains shacks
when he ought to erect substant-
ial structures. The real knocker
in the political world is the
fellow who opposes reform, who
refuses to follow new leaders.
The News hopes the Daily Pan
handle did not intendto knock,

DONATION PLEASES
Y. W. G. A. MEMBERS.
$1,000 Left by Boston Woman
Greatly Appreciated.

While no information has been re-
ceived by the officials of the Young
Women's Christian Association that
81, 900 was bequeathed by the late Har-
riet A.. Brown, of Boston, Mass. yet
they believe that such a sum was left
their organization because of promises
made by Miss Brown several times IN
letters to an official of the association.
Miss Brown was the inventor of a
chart system from which drafts could
be drawn for all kinds of drossmaking,
and when the local Y. w. c. A. opened
the dressmaking department in the
East Park street establishment sew
eral years ago it was decided to adopt
the Harriet A. Brown chart system.
Mrs. John +. Hendrickson, of 532
Warren street, who has charge of the
educational department of the associa-
ton, wrote Miss Brown to that effect,
n the letters hat passed between
the two since indicated thai
Miss Brown intended to remember the
local institution in her Will, and the
members could depend on 1t.
1t is owing to these promises that
the officers of the association say that
the dispatches from the Hub City are
correct.
Mrs. Richard C.. Jenkinson, who is
president of the local Y. M. c. A., said
today that ii was an agreeable surprise
to her, and the donation would be APP
preciated, not only because of the sum,
but also because of the kind remem-
brance of one Who none of the MEM
bers had ever met.

SHOOT TWO
IN RIOTS At BIG
BETHLEHEM PLANT
State C0nstables Charge Crowds
on Horseback and Make
Many Arrests.

SOUTH BETHLEHEM, Pa, Feb. 26.
Two foreigners were shot by State
police during a fight ut the Majestic
Hotel this morning. One was shot in
the head and is in II serious condition
at St. Luke's Hospital. The other
received a slight wound in the leg.
The violence which broke out among
the foreigners at he works yesterday
caused the Northampton county au-
thorities to see further trouble ahead
n decided to prevent If possible any
serious rioting. The Governor was
communicated with and during the
night Captain John c. Groome, Of the
State police, was instructed to send
men to Bethlehem at once. According
l.. about thirty of the policemen, with
their mounts, left Philadelphia, where
they were doing strike duty, at 9 a. M,
and arrived here shortly before Z
o'clock,
When the troopers reached the town
they were Immediately assigned to the
various gates of the works and on their
way along Third street the mounted
men encountered the foreigners. The
troopers paid no attention to them un-
til some of the foreigners began calling
them names and a few missiles were
thrown. The captain in command in
stantly wheeled his men about, ordered
them to draw their riot sticks and
charge. The policemen and their we'll
trained horses promptly obeyed and they
waded into the foreigners. The long,
hickory sticks were not used except
where a man declined to move, the men
depending on their horses to scatter the
crowd. A sharp watch was kept for
pistols but not a shot was fred and after
about fifteen minutes work the troopers
had the street cleared TIE men taken
into custody resisted the policemen's
efforts to clear the streets, and are
charged with melting riot.
The entire plant of the Bethlehem
5000 men, was shut down today until
Monday. 1t is expected to resume then
under the protection of the State police.
The strike at the Bethlehem Steel
Works started February 4, when several
hundred m%aehinists quit because they
were refused time and hale time for
extra work. The strike later spread to
various departments Of the plant, Grip
rling the company to some extent. Tho
strikers were not organized and several
breaks occurred, hundreds of men re-
began 10 spread this week when the
strikers became more active in picket
ing. The violence yesterday was due
TO pickets interfering with men on their
way to and from the works.

AMERICANS TELL
Of N|CARAGUAN
BATTLE HORRORS
Fighters from This Country
Wounded While Others Aid
Injured After Fierce Fight.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 26.-Staff COR
respondence of the Associated Press,
from Bluefields. under date of Febru-
airy 10, and received by mail steamer

wounded after the battle of Santa Clara:
"At 8 O'Clock at night a cattle ranch
called Yalu was reached. There were
two cots in the house. One of these
the Americans, solicitously aided by
Nicaraguan officers, secured for Colonel
Gabriel Conrad, of Louisiana, who had
been wounded. The couches rested on
bare ground. Pigs scurried out of the
door and a general air of the stable
yard prevailed. A man, shot through
the stomach, groaned ceaselessy on the
second cot. A native, shot through the
leg, crawled under his cot and another
beside it. Just outside of the door, an
other. with part of his face shot away,
moaned the name of a saint. Some of
the native wounded had been brought
along on native hammocks and others
stoically walked.
"On a crude bed DIR. Castillo, working
by the light of a candle, dressed the
gaping wounds. Sam Drebbin, of Phil
adelphia and Panama, a veteran of the
Philippines and a highly capable for
ager, had lifted someone's chicken din
ner from the table as he passed through
Pueblo VETO. This now furnished a
much needed broth for the wounded.
1t was not long before the doctors
candle had been exhausted and the
crude house with it's suffering men was
left in darkness save for a flicker of
light from the outside, where the broth
had been warmed All that medical aid
could do under the circumstances had
been done"

[speeIal to the Newark star.l

HOBOKEN, Feb. 26.-To express their
disapproval of the decision of Judge
John A. Blair to impose a fine of $l00
on Mayor George Gonzales, a public
subscription has been started to raise
money to pay the fine. The Mayor was
fined for alleged improper actions while
a witness before the grand jury. The

contribute more than one cent.
The men behind the scheme say that
the Mayor represented the city when he
appeared before the grand jury and
that he was there to protect the city
and that the filming of the Mayor was
In effect a reprimand to the citizens.
They say that Mayor Gonzales exposed
the failure of Frederick Steiglieter to
pay over to the city the fees he had
collected as building inspector for seven
years and that it was his duty to go
before the grand jury to have Steig-
letter indicted. He was endeavoring to
the grand jury why Steigleiter
should be indicted when he was
charged with contempt.
Under the terms of the subscription
to the 500 fund the fine will be paid

the decision of Judge Blair when the
case is heard on appeal, but If the
is set aside the 800 will he
turned over to charity.
Mayor Gonzales this morning said
that he was pleased to learn that the
citizens viewed the action Of the court
in that light. He said that the stigma
brought upon him by the conviction
was reflected on the people. and It
pleased him to see hat they appreci-
it.
