harrisburg, Pa, July ia state
wide movement for the reorganiza-
ton of the democratic party in
Pennsylvania and the promotion of
peace and harmony in it's ranks
was launched today at the session
of the Democratic State Central
Committee. The party has been
split into two warning factions, with
rival state chairmen. both ex-Sena-
tor Arthur c. Dewalt of Allentown
and ex-Mayor George w. Guthrie
claiming to hold that position. Both
issued calls for today's meeting OF
the committee, the Dewalu notices
requesting the presence of the COM
mitteemen at a meeting in the Com
monwealth hotel at one o'clock this
afternoon, while the Guthrie call
summoned the committee members
to a meeting in the board of trade
hall at $50 o'clock.
Mr.. Dewalt has somewhat cleared
the situation by declaring that he
is not a candidate and will not ac-
cept reelection to the chairman
ship. His term does not expire
until January /, but he says he will
resign today if such action will pro-
mote party harmony.
Some of the, democratic leaders
favor the elimination of both De-
walt and Guthrie from the chair
manship and the selection of new
man who will be acceptable to both
factions, This program has been
advocated by Charles P. Donnelly,
who with Thomas J. Ryan controls
the Philadelphia democratic organi-
cation. Donnelly favors the selec-
ton as chairman of Eugene c. Bon
niwell, vice chairman of the Key
stone Party State committee. The
Keystone party was an important
factor in the Pennsylvania elections
last fall, polling over 100000 votes
for Berry, it's candidate for COVER
nor.
1t is also the opinion of infiuen-
tial men in the party that Colonel
James A. Guffey and A. Mitchell
Palmer, leader of the Pennsylvania
democratic congressional delegation,
should both resign their claims for
membership on the national commit.
tee in the interest Of harmony.
While an attempt will be made by
the reorganized party to win over
the leaders and the rank and file
Of the keystone party, it is not
likely that there will be any actual
fusion Of the parties.
The democrats of Pennsylvania be-
lieve that, with a popular candi-
date, there is a chance that this
state may land in the democratic
column in the presidential election
next year, and, if harmony can be
firmly established, determined eff
fort to accomplish this end will be
made. Already there is much in
formal discussion as to the choice
of national standard-bearer, ma
jority of Pennsylvania democrats ap-
parently favoring Woodrow Wilson.
Champ Clark, it is minated, would
also make a presidential nominee
highly acceptable to the Pennsyl-
vanians

Butterfield Advocate: The union
depot was the scene of a robbery
Saturday night or Sunday morning,
according to young man who claim

route for Chicago with car Of
stock. According to the story he told
Marshal Lake, he had thirty dollars
and his car contract in his pocket
when he laid down to take a nap on
the benches at the depot, to await
the coming of his train. When the
train whistled he awoke to find that
his pocketboOk and contents were
missing, having been stolen presum-
ably by some of the hOboes who were

a chance to steal a ride out of town.
Efforts to locate the stolen property

ELECTRIC CHICKS is LATEST
Brood 10 Hatched by Placing Bulbs in
Ordinary Incubator--As Lively
as Any Others.

Towanda, Pa.--Not satisfied with
being first in butter production in the
north tier, Towanda has the first
brood of chickens ever Matched by
electricity in the state, and perhaps
in the country 1t all came about
through the ingenuity Of Clarence
Braund, a poultry expert, who is en-
ployed by local illuminating COM
pany.
He conceived the idea OF substitut
ing the electric bulb for the uncertain
kerosene lamp, which causes SO many
disasters because of the risk of its
starting fire, overheating or going
out.
Taking a common incubator, he sim
ply wired 1t and used electric bulbs
instead for heating, and the result was
very satisfactory. All of the eggs but
one Matched out The temperature
was kept even night and day without
any attention on his part, and the
chicks are as lively as any ever
Matched.
So pleased is the Illuminating com.
pany with the experiment that it has
the chicks in the display window OF
its Office. 1t is likely that the old
method Of using lamps for heat will
be relegated and that chickens OF the
future will be Matched by the stead,
current from the main plant

Market Hoqs Much Lighter.

The average weight of hogs market
ed in recent years is much lighter
than in former years: in the decade
1S70-1s79 the average weight of hogs
killed during the winter months in
western packing centers was aboct
275 pounds; in the decade 1SS0-1SS9
about 257 pounds; In the decade 1890
1899 about 239 pounds, and in the
past decade 19o0-f909 about 219
pounds. In other words, hogs mar
keted between 30 and 40 years ago
averaged one-fourth heavier than
those marketed in recent wears.
