GOVERNOR TENER has in his hands the
Watson bill, which after a full and
thorough discussion has passed both
branches of the state legislature. This
measure amends the state vaccination law
in an important aspect. 1t provides that
certificates of successful vaccination or
previously having had smallpox or that
the child's physical condition will not
permit of successful vaccination, shall
not be required in any locality in this
commonwealth, when smallpox is not
known to exist in the said locality. This
begins to sound more like a sensible
noise than any legislation in Pennsyl-
vsnis previously attempted upon the sub
ject. 1t admits children to the public
schools with no question concerning
vaccination unless smallpox is known to
exist in the locality. 1t would mean in
effect that in practically all school dis
tricts of Pennsylvania compulsory vacci-
nation would be abolished and the pre-
caution of vaccination required only
when the disease actually ex listed in a
community. The slaughter of the inno-
cents by means of impure vaccine and
careless surgical work has gone far
enough in Pennsylvania. The bill was
passed after very careful consideration
by the general assembly. 1t should re-
ceive the signature of the governor and
become effective Immediately. Titus

Barnes a Joker.

The Bradford Star Record Is RESPONSE
BILE for the following story: "Frank
Barnes, alias Ruth, alias Conley and
several other names, was recently arrest
ed In Sheffield and taken to the county
Jail at Smethport, where he received
penitentiary sentence. Barnes Is noted
crook. He was escorted to Smethport by
a constable OF that thriving boro. The
officer did not propose taking any chances
with Barnes and dug out pair of strong,
steel handouts. One was locked upon
the wrist of the gent Of many names and
then the constable locked one OF his
wrists in the other end. "I guess you
won't get away now" said the town con-
stable, as he glared iercely at his pris-
oner. The trip was made to Smethport
by the constable and Barnes without Incl
dent. They were as closely fastened as
the Sismese twins and Barnes made no
effort to sever the tie. When the Jail was
reached the constable searched himself
and found he had lost the key to the situa-
ton as we'll as the one that fitted to the
handouts. "Come to the village black
smith," he said to his prisoner. "Allow
me-" susyely remarked Barnes, as he
easily slipped his hand through the hand
cuff and left 1t dangling from the con-
stables wrist. The peace officer was
never so sstonished in his life and lost no
time in seeing that his dangerous prisoner
was placed safely behind the bars"

WOMER UNDRAPE STATUES
Harrisburg Mob Tears Down Tents
Shielding Mr.. Barnard's Work
From the Public,

Harrisburg, May 16.-Many women,
aided by few men, yesterday ripped
into strips the tents which protect
the nude statues of George Gray Bar
nard from the elements while the
workmen are putting on the finishing
touches.
The massive statues, upon which
the sculptor spent several years and
which have caused much discussion,
are at the entrance of the new State
Capitol.
When they were shipped to this
country they were Mr.. Barnard's con-
ception of the perfect man and child.
There was great outcry and as re-
suit huge blotches of plaster of paris
clothing were placed upon the figures.
They made the masterpieces of the
sculptor look like cheap clay daubs by
some amateur.
Recently Mr. Barnard came to Har'
risburg, and after declaring that the
American public was too whimsical to
luht dIl lOI MI SdhC uS'iSSu "a p''"H
to clothe his figures and still have
them retain some OF their original
beauty. The clothing probably will
consist of vines or leaves.
Workmen erected tents around the
massive groups Friday and removed
the plaster clothing 1t became
noised about the city that any person
who wished to see the masterpieces in
their original form would have to do
so Immediately, as the reclothing pro-
cess was to start today.
The city was filed with visitors as
the result of the visit OF President
Taft, and they made their way to Cap
itol hill. When some Of the women
saw the tents which protected the
statues from the gaze of the multitude
they attacked the canvas. Not only
they, but almost every other person in
Harrisburg. saw the groups as Mr.
Barnard had originally intended them.

Joseph Wortzkey was in West Hick-
ory on business, Monday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Wortzkey had
very narrow escape and mirsculously es-
capped being killed a week ago, when
their house was struck by lightning.
They were sitting in the kitchen when
the shock occurred. The brick chimney
was torn entirely off and other damage
done.
We learn of numerous fast spreading
forest fires at and near Kellettyille. All
is being done to keep them under con-
troll, but with little success, it being so
extremely dry.
ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT.
Farmers are planting corn and hust-
ling in all ways to get their spring work
done, as 1t is growing late and seeds OF
all kinds ought to be in the ground. The
ground seems to be cold and spring is
backward. We had hard frost Sunday
morning, but don't know if pears, cher
ries or plums were hurt or not. Already
the trees are groaning beneath their load
of blossoms and if Jack Frost will just
move away and nothing else sets in, we
