GIRLS DEATH MAY
FOLLOW ATTACK
AT LOCK HAVEN
White Man and Two Negroes
Implicated in Outrageous
Assault.

Implicated in Outrageous
Assault.
Lock Haven, June 16.-Frank I.
Griffen, a white man, who claims
to be an enploye of the Frank H.
Robbins shows, and who says that
his home is in Iowa, was arrested
early this evening at Jersey Shore
by Acting Deceive Wallace Pettin-
gill, on charge of criminal assault
upon Emma Brown, a seventeen
year old girl of this place, last night.
The police of this and several other
towns are seeking two negroes said
to be implicated in the same crime.
An immense crowd, which as.
sumed the proportions of a mob and
which included nearly everybody
in Lock Haven, heard that an ar
rest had been made, after an alarm
had been sent in that two negroes
and white man had been seen at
Castanea near here, and lynching
was feared.
NO VIOLENCE BY CROWD
When Detective Pettingill step
ped off the train with his prisoner
he was swallowed up by this mob,
but although many shouts filled
the air, no violence was offered and
the man was safely brought to the
county Jail and locked up. The
crowd surrounded the Jail and hung
about for more than an hour, but
finally dispersed about IL o'clock.
GRlFFIN'S STORY DOUBTED
Things are said to look bad for
Griffin, as evidence points toward
him as one of the guilty men. On
his person was found a letter with
the name of the girl that was with
Mss B1own at the time of the as
suit, and who lives at Bellefonte.
He claimed that he was with the
girls and was walking with them
behind the tents when two negroes
and white man rushed upon them
and overpowering him, attacked
them.
Inasmuch as he shows no marks
of a fight and since the girls say
emphatically that they were alone,
the story is not credited. Griffin
will have a hearing tomorrow.
FOUND UNCONSCIOUS
The assault was committed about
10 O clock last night. The Brown
girl with another started behind a
tent and was followed and attack
ed by two negroes and a white man.
The Bellefonte girl escaped, after a
struggle, and gave the alarm, but
Miss Brown was overcome and as
.saulted, she claims, by the two ne
groes, and perhaps by the white
man. She was later found uncOn-
scious and in a critical condition
in front of William Keller's resi-
dence and after a medical examin.
alton was rushed to the hospital,
where she is in serious state to-
night.
SAID TO BE WITH CIRCUS
The men who committed the as
suit are said to be circus employees.
A story from Jersey Shore yester-
day says that an assault was also
committed at that place. Officers
are watching the show and Detec-
tive Pettingill left tonight for Wells
boro, where the show will exhibit
on Tuesday.
One of the negroes is described
as wearing a dark raincoat, while
the other had no raincoat. The
white man wore a raincoat.
Since the above was set in type
we have learned that the girl will
be able to leave the hospital in day
or two.

HOPES BARROW WILL CONFESS.
Detective Burns Says Revelation Would
Startle the Whole Country.

Chicago, July S.-Revelations so sen
sationa that the country would be
shocked as it was in the Mcnamara
case, were predicted Saturday by w. j.
Burns, head of the Burns National De-
tectiye agency, in case Clarence S. Oar
row, the Chicago attorney on trial at
Los Angeles on charge of jury bribing,
should decide to make complete CON
fession of all he knows, sparing no one
Mr.. Burns arrived in Chicago Satur-
day from California, fresh from the
trial.
II don't think that it would be neces-
sary to send anyone to prison in case
the full facts could be made known
through a confession" he said "Then
the public would know just what men
were connected with this outrage. how
they went about their work and what
they did | think that it would do
more good in cleaning the ranks of Ia
Dor of the crooks than the mere send
ing of barrow TO prison The people
would be startled if they knew the
names of every one connected with the
dastardly plot
'Do you expect the jury to convict
Darrow?"
II don't see how there can be any
thing but conviction replied Mr..
Burns. The case of the state is per-
feet, and it will be impossible for the
defense to explain away the evidence"

The Helpful Mother.

"The late Margaret +. Sangster, poet
and novelist said South Orange WON
an, believed that the American mother
didn't do enough, in social way, for
her daughters. She used to contrast
the European mother, always straining
every nerve to marry her girls off we'll,
with the American, who frequently new
er lifts finger toward getting coed
introductions for her own.
II once heard Mrs. Sangster illustrate
the European mothers helpful clever
ness with an anecdote about a French
woman who was entertaining rich
young manufacturer.
"As the woman talked with her guest,
her daughter began to play the piano
upstairs.
What wretched playing, said the
rich manufacturer, who was rather a
connoiseur Who is it?'
"'Oh, Just the cook the mother re-
piled quickly. We let her practice when
her work is done.
AT lunch the rich manufacturer was
delighted with the bouilabaise, diff
cult dish Of lobster and five kinds of
fish.

THE LIE THAT WAS TOLD
About the Steerage Passengers of the
Titanic

In an editorial in the July American
Magazine on the Titanic disaster, +. p.
Dunno says in part:
"Of all the criminal things published
after the sinking of the Titanic, by far
the worst was the story of riot of the
Storage passengers. We can't get this
abomnation out of our mind. As the
truth has come out. we can see these
poor things huddled together hoping
against possibility that they may be
saved; then we can see them trooping
up in silent procession of the great
ship--youn Irish boys and girls whis-
.pering their 'pateranaves as they walk,
women hooded by their shawls like the
mother of the Savior--some carrying
children in their arms, Others helping
along the old and infirm; meek Russian
peasants bent with TOLL poor, tired and
hopeless creatures all. They find their
way to the upper decks not without
certain feeling of apology for ven
turing on this hitherto prohibited ter
ritory, but there is no need of this now.
And no need is there for the brave
officers to despatch them with bullets,
No bullet wounds We're found on the
bodies reports the captain of the ca
BILE ship. The officers are either in the
small boats padding to safety or they
are with the Others patiently awaiting
the inevitable.
and these poor people are the very
same who in the papFs and the gossip
of the New York clubs Were reported
to be raging, bloodthirsty madmen.
What writer who penned such mon.
strous falsehood must not hang his head
In shame forever How incredible the
coarse surmise that man viii not
meet death with dignity because his
hands are stained with work? Is there
in the minds of many of us the disas.
trous belief that different standards Of
personal honor in the supreme tests of
life exist with the rich and with the
poor?'

Only One Tree in twenty Grows to Ma
turity.

In an article in the July Woman's
Home Companion on "The Friendly SUM.
mer Trees" the author, Frank A. Waugh,
professor of horticulture in the Agri-
cultural college of Massachusetts,, lays
down the general rule that only one tree
out of every twenty planted ever grows
to maturity. He therefore advises those
who plant trees to plant literally. He
goes on to say:
Effort should be made also to select
those which have grown on rich, we'll
drained soil. The theory that trees
taken from the forest or from Indictment
conditions will be more hardy. runs
quite opposite to the fact. Indeed, the
best plan is everywhere TO buy young
trees from the nurseries. Nursery trees
have clean, Symmetrical tops, and are
likely to have a hundred times more
good rootage than trees taken from the
field. Everything is in favor of the
nursery grown tree, except the price, and
very often the expense of digging and
bringing in half dozen good sized ma
piles or pin-oaks from the woods is
greater than the cost of better trees of
similar size from the most expensive
nursery in the country
