TOWN DESTROYED
WHEN DAM BREAKS

Austin, Pa-Austin, a town Of 5000
residents in the northern part OF the
state, was swept out of existence ant
more than 800 of its people wert
killed by a food which followed the
breaking of the Bayless Pulp & Pa
per Company's dam, mile and a hall
north of the town. Half billion gal
Ions OF water rushed over the place
in wall % feet high, wrecking every
structure in its path.
The flood did not spend its force
until it raced more than ten miles
from the reservoir. Wharton, still
farther on, suffered somewhat, but is
practically intact The loss of life
al Costello, where the residents had
more warning, is believed to be but
one. The property loss in the valley
is estimated at upwards Of $4,000, 600.
In Austin the bursting of scores of
natural gas mains as the buildings
were swept away added horror TO the
food and many imprisoned in the
wreckage We're burned TO death. The
contents of the dam, which was filled
to overlooking by the heav~ rains OF
two weeks, swept through a natural
gorge in which Austin and Costello
are situated. The catastrophe paral-
leled in many respects the destruc-
ton by food of Johnstown. Pa. in

were lost

Friday night, he innocently widowed
a delicate mother OF i've children.

In hopes that some aid will be re-
ceived from the public within the near
future
I'VE hope" said one OF the neigh
bors to The Times, that little funa
can be raised so that Mrs. Tannabaum
might be started in business, little
grocery store. The people OF the
neighborhood would patronize her lio-
orally, and in this way she would be
able to get along very We'll, until the
children are old enough to work. The
eldest child is a girl of II, but she Is
delicate and should not be Obliged TO
work. She Is now working In a laun-
dr., getting 81 a week. The young
est child is four years old. Altogeth-
er, the case is about as sad one as
have ever heard of. The family Is
certainly deserving OF help, and | do
hope some aid will be forthcoming.
Tannabaum came TO the United
States from Austria. about four years
ago. He afterwards sent for two OF
HIS children, and, after preparing a
home, brought his wife and three
other children here. The latter mem
bers of the family arrived only few
months ago. The husband and father
was an Industrious and Woodworking
man. In addition TO working hard all
day as a laborer for the city, getting
only $40 a week, he put in five hours
every night working In a cafe. He
was just beginning to get along nicely
when fate interviewed and robbed him

The decision explains several

why Gov. Hughes was made justice

plains the discrimination exercised by
the president in selecting Democrats

wooden factories which used to pol
lutte hundreds of rivers, is now precip-
itated and the coagulum is pressed
into bricks and converted into supe-
rior illuminating gas. These are only
examples of the ingenuity of man.
That the field is far from exhausted is
instanced in the estimate that from
900 to 1000 tons of fine coal are
thrown away every day in the ashes of
New York. It is not impossible that
some one will shortly invent a pro-
cess for retaining this wasted ma

the republic, but now under tine coln-
try-wide. plan of distribution of food
products and the factory output and
the enormous amount of city and cor
porate property, all of which Is
benefited by good roads. The plan re-
moves a heavy burden from the farm
ers, by requiring all classes of property
to stand it's just proportion of the cost.
New York presents a striking exam
pie Of the growth of the good roads
sentiment and the possibilities of road
construction. This state began state
aid with measly appropriation of
$4,000, but in five years by a heavy
majority voted constitutional amend
ment authorizing the issue of $50, O00,-
900 of bonds for state aid In road
building. Thus the wave of progress
goes on with increasing momentum,
and it will eventually sweep the whole
country.
When one looks back over the cam
paign for good roads in any community
he finds that when the subject was
first brought up scores of good peo-
pie became frightened at the ex-
pense, and they were loud in denuncia-
ton of the proposal, saying and be-
lieving, that it meant the confiscatiOn
of their property. That they never
could stand the tax and that good
roads spelled ruin. In every case, how
ever, where the plan was proceeded
with by state aid, the people were sur
prised that they had the roads and
that they did not feel the tax,
that, in fact, more and more roads
were demanded, up to the lawful limit.
Thus it has ever been, and probably
will be, for years to come.
Good roads mean more social life,
more pleasure, less drudgery. They
mean better schools, a more enlight-
ened and intelligent citizenship, they
mean progress and civilization.

Crime Rrouuht to liuht.

An extraordinary crime was brought
to light recently in an accidental mar.
ner at Zaborze, in Silesia. Sweeps
were engaged in cleaning the large
old-fashioned chimneys at the house
of the landowner, Czekalla, when in
the chimney Of one of the bedrooms
they met with an obstruction. After
considerable difficulty the men sue
ceeded in extricating a black object,
which proved to be the remains of a
human leg. Realizing that they had
stumbled upon traces of a crime. the
sweeps summoned the police and a
thorough examination of the chimney
was then made, and the remains of
what was evidently the body of a
young girl were brought out, black
ened and hardened by the effects of
the smoke. Doctors declare that the
corpse, which is believed to be that OF
girl aged eighteen, who disappeared
about year ago, must have been In
the chimney many months. tie po-
lice are now following every possible
clue In the hope Of arresting the per-
petrators of the CHASTITY murder, for
that the girl was murdered before her
body was placed in the chimney the
expert examination leaves little doubt.
