:32 Killed in Explosion.
Especial to The Citizen.

San Antonio, Tex, March 10
At least thirty-two men were killed
and parts of their bodies strewn for
blocks around when a big passenger
engine in the Southern Pacific shops
blew up here Sunday morning.
The engine stood in a square formed
by the copper house, blacksmith shop
and the round house, all of which
were wrecked. A portion of the To-
comotive crashed into a house sew
eral blocks away and seriously hurt
woman.
Twenty of the bodies have been
Identified, but what is believed to be
twelve more is little more than a
tangled mass of fragments of human
flesh and bones that probably never
will be separated into the dozen hu-
mans that it represents. These frag-
ments were found jammed into
crevices about the buildings wrecked,
in the street and entangled in ma
chinery in the shops.

BOY SCOUTS
EDITED BY
ONE OF THEM

The Honesdale Scouts are passing
their second class scout tests now
that the weather permits out of
door work to be resumed. Two boys
have passed all the tests and a num-
Der of others have but one or two
still pending.
Last Saturday four boys followed
a trail blazed over Irving Gift last
fall, and building a camp fire roast
ed potatoes and boiled meat without
cooking utensils as prescribed in
their manual of instructions.
The boys declare that a meal prop
erly cooked over a campfire is far
superior to even "the kind that
mother used to make"
Nearly every boy in the small
towns of this country has enjoyed
campfire meals but the Scout idea
Is to do the thing right-just as the
old pioneers did. If potatoes are
properly buried deep in the ashes
and red hot Goals drawn over them
they will have the finest flavor
Imaginable.
There Will be a meeting of the
Scouts at the school house on We'd
nesday evening at 7:15.

MANY REMONSTRANCES HEARD
At COURT
Continued From Page One)

ough was brought DeIore the Court
on Tuesday morning. There were
many remonstrances to the license
being issued mainly because liquor
had been sold to minors and to men
already under its influence. Also it
was brought out, one instance in
which it was sold on Sunday. The
prosecutions witnesses were many
and among them were a few who op-
posed the license on the grounds of
temperance. The beer sold to minors
may have been done without the
knowledge of the bartender or own
er as the witness stated that it was
ordered by someone else and some
one else paid for it. 1t was alleged
that cards were played, the loser
paying for the drinks. This was not
proved although cards were played
and usually the loser was the one
to treat the rest. This hotel is To-
Gated in Starrucca borough.
On Friday afternoon the case of
Charles Wood, administrator of the
estate of Eliza Wood, deceased, VS..
James Stewart and Nancy Stewart,
was begun and continued all the rest
OF the afternoon after the Ariel mill
case was disposed of. The case grew
out of some trouble over the ap-
praisement of the property left by
the late Eliza Wood of East Berlin.
Nancy Stewart is a daughter of the
deceased and testified that there was
$40 in the bank beside $40 in a pock-
etbook in the house. She paid all the
funeral expenses. Charles Wood
claimed Mrs. Stewart should turn
over the money and property to him
as administrator. Mrs. Stewart had
a bill of assignment given to her by
her late mother Attorney McCarty
was counsel for plaintiff and p H.
lion for the defendants. On Satur-
day morning the attorneys stated be-
fore the Court that the case had been
settled out of court. Judge Searle
dismissed the jury. This case
wound up the first week of court in
the. March term.
The cases of the Commonwealth
versus Charles j. Riley for false pre-
tense and the case of the Common
wealth versus c. d. Sands were set
tied out of court. Many cases were
continued over to the second week to
begin the first week in April.

House Democratic leaders have made
up their minds to strike at the appro-
priation for the travelling expenses Of
the President They propose to lop off
the $500 which the President is now
allowed by law to enable him to travel
about the country.
The Democrats will do this on the
ground tina 1.-THE appropriation was al
lowed by Congress to enable the Presi-
dent to get in touch with the people.
but that il was not the purpose Of
Congress to give the President money
whereby he could promote the purposes
of his own denomination.
In other words, the Democratic lead
ers have come to the conclusion that
the President is utilizing the $4,000 an
nual allowance of public funds to pro-
mote the private purpose OF getting
himself renominatcd. They think his
travels are devoted largely to that end.
The Democrats propose when the
question of appropriatng the usual sum
comes up simply to omit to make that
appropriation. II is likely there Will be
a sharp fight over the question, but as a
matter of fact the Democrats have the
whip hand. If they insist or the sum
being left out II doubtless Will be left
out. Moreover. It will not be easy to
get the majority of the Senate to vote

ing of many Of the Senate Republicans
toward the Administration
one OF the reasons why the Demo-
Gratis i'm the House are not eager to
make the appropriation for the travel
ing expenses of the President, is that
if the money is allowed for the next
fiscal year 1t can be used in the coming
prediction campaign.
or course ii is more or less trouble
some for Speaker Champ Clark to -
fuse to make the appropriation. The
Speaker has the utmost confidence that
he is destined for the White House,
and It would be right embarrassing to
land there just when the appropriation
for travelling expenses was cut off sun
Il would be possible to cut the allow
Gncc out TO rthe coming fiscal year and
then renew 1t next winter.
In any event, the President is much
better paid than a few years ago. The
salary has been Increased from $50 900
TO $4,000 and this plus the allowance for
travelling expenses makes the pay 500 =
O0O a year. This says nothing about the
amount spent by the Government to
maintain the White House. The Pres
ident would have fine salary left to
draw on II Congress did cut off the
travelling allowance. Still, il is the con-
sensus of opinion that tho amount Of
Presidential travel would be materially
lcssened.
