MAN MISSING SINCE CHRISTMAS
Terry Caffrey, of Preston, Last Seen
at Poyntelle While on Way to
Work Fear Something Has
Happened to Him.

Terry Caffrey, a resident of Pres
ton township, about half way be-
tween Poyntelle and Lake Como,
has been missing from his home
since the Monday before Christmas
and it is feared by the people of that
neighborhood that the man has met
with foul play or has been lost.
He was last seen at Poyntelle
while on his way to build a water
trough on the place owned by Mr.. P.
]. McCufker who lives about a mile
from Poyntelle. He did not reach
his destination, however, and has not
showed up again in the neighbor-
hood since that time. That was
about December 23d when he disap-
peared so completely. After a rea-
sonable length of time had elapsed
and he did not return the neighbors
became anxious and decided to make
search for him. The men banded
together and went in all directions
over the surrounding country in the
hope of locating the man alive or
dead. Tuesday about fifty men
searched over a territory comprising
about one thousand acres but in
vain.
Mr.. Caffrey lived near the home
of ]. L. Sherwood. He was SO years
of age. His wife has been dead some
years but has five sons andone daugh
ter living. Two of the boys live in
New York state and the others, all
small, are at home. He was a car
penter by trade and worked at many
jobs in that neighborhood. There
is no known reason why he should
disappear willingly and if it should
be that he has met with foul play
the body will undoubtedly be re-
covered at an early date. 1t is hop
ed, however, that Mr.. Caffrey will
be found soon and be brought to his
family of small children.

COUNTY SEAT MORTALITY
RATE 81
Forty-Two Deaths and Forty-Six
Births Occur in Year 1912
Heart Disease, tuberculosis and
Pneumonia Claim Many.

During the past year, according
to the Registrar of Vital Statistics,
there has been one hundred and
fifty seven births and one hundred
and thirty-one deaths in the registra-
ton district comprising Honesdale,
Prompton boroughs, Texas, Berlin
and Oregon townships. These fig
ures were taken from the annual re-
port of DR.. L. B. Nielsen.
Many facts of interest were re-
vealed in the report. Honesdale,
the county seat of Wayne county,
can boast of forty-six births, twenty
boys and twenty-six girls, last year
as against a death record of forty
two or a mortality rate of 81.
Honesdale is supposed to have a
population of about 5000. In Tex
as, last year, with a population of
twice that of Honesdale, there were
sixty-seven deaths while there were
ninety babies born in the township
outside of Honesdale.
Under the state law all births
must be reported to the Registrar
within ten days, and all deaths
within period of five days.
IN Oregon township there were
eight births recorded and five
deaths, while Berlin is proud over
the fact that there were fifteen bab-
les born. There were six boys and
nine girls. BY districts the births
were as follows.

ARCHIBALD CROSS-EXAMINED
BY JURIST
Three Days Allowed for Arguments
Judge Defends His Conduct
Testimony is All Heard.

WASHINGTON, Jan. THE i'm
propriety of federal judges writ
ing to an attorney on one side of
a case that had been argued before
him, for information or argument to
clear up doubtful points, became the
point around which members of the
senate to-day fired question after
question at Judge Robert w. Arch
bald, of the United States Commerce
court, now under trial by impeach-
ment for alleged violation of his fed
eral oath. a5e rC
Cross-examination of the accused
jurist begun by Representative Ster-
ling, one of the house managers who
are conducting the prosecution, was
virtually taken out of his hands
when that charge was reached in
volving Judge Archbald's cores
pondence with Attorney Helm Bruce,
of the Louisville and Nashville rail-
road. Members of the senate de-
manded of Judge Archibald time and
again whether he did not think it
improper and unfair to the other
parties in a suit to request of one at
torney an explanation or correction
of evidence without giving like priv
ileges to the other side. He insisted
he thought there was nothing i'm
proper in his conduct.
Judge Archibald held the witness
stand for nearly four hours. The
end of all testimony in the case
came before the close of the days
proceedings. There remain now
only the closing arguments and the
vote of the senate as to whether or
not Judge Archibald is guilty of any
of f1n oh ct hi Th,A
senate determined to give three days
equally divided. 1t is expected that
at least five OF the house managers
will participate in the opening at
one O'Clock tomorrow.
The Louisville and Nashville
charge centered about Judge Arch
bald's request of Attorney Bruce for
information as to a certain point in
the so-called Montgomery rate cases,
which had been argued before the
commerce court. Judge Archibald
said he had differed with the bal
ance of the court, and in writing a
dissenting opinion, he asked Mr..
Bruce to clear up a controverted
question about whether or not GER
tain rate changes violated the old
Cooley arbitration" agreement, that
had long operated over the south
western rates.
He declared. the correspondence be-
came of no consequence because lat
er the other members of lne court
except Judge Mack, took a view sim
liar to his own, and presiding Judge
Knapp finally wrote an opinion faV-
orable to the railroad.
Was it not due to the argu-
ments you got by writing Mr.. Bruce
that the court reversed it's earlier
position and gave a decision favor
able to the Louisville and Nash
ville?" asked Representative Sterl-
ing.
Absolutely not" said Judge Ar
chbald.
Senators Reed, Pomerene, Cul-
berson, Shively, Nelson, Hoke Smith
and Others piled him with questions
as to his intent, and as the proprie-
ty of his act.
why did you not give the attor-
neys for the other side a chance to
present their views?" asked Senator
Reed.
"The point amounted to so little
that it did not affect the decision of
the case" replied Judge Archibald

CARBONDALE HAD S125,OOO
FIRE THIS MORNING
Discovered in Green Brothers Cloth
ing Store at $50 This Morning
-Four Old Buildings Consumed
But Offered Much Resist
ance to Fire.
ance to Fire.

Fire broke out at $3.50 this morn
ing in Carbondale in the store occu-
pied by Green Brothers Clothing
house on the corner of Main street
and Salem Avenue in that city. The
cause of the blaze is unknown. The
fire spread rapidly and had a good
start before discovered and spread
to the adjoining buildings which
were soon a mass of flames. The
Carbondale fire companies fought
valiantly to check the spread of the
fire and succeeded in confining it to
four old buildings. The buildings
were about fifty years old and the
old timbers offered a great resist
ance to the flames and made the fire
as slow in advancing as if it were
burning in a brick building The
cold weather was a big handicap to
the firemen. 1t was pronounced un-
der control about ten thirty o'clock
this morning although the fire was
still burning fiercely, but was COM
pletely out at noon. The damage
to the buildings, although they were
partly insured, was between $780,
600 and $125,00O.
From the Green Brothers clothing
store the fire spread to the drug
obOl VI l. dhh DGuulS anu
there to the next building occupied
and owned by Mills Brothers and
who conduct a hardware store. 1t
then spread on to the stationery
store of R. B. and Newell Van Ber-
gen and from there to a one-story
building occupied by the Van Ber-
gen brothers and Daniel Scurry
jointly, the latter being a jewelry
store. All of the buildings were two
stories except the last named.
Frank E. Dennis, who sustained
a heavy loss, is the father of Mrs.
Silas M. McMullen of this place.
The four buildings occupy about
half a block and considering that
the remaining half of the block and
that most of the buildings on the
opposite side of the street were
frame structures, and also that the
wind and cold were evident, the fire
fighters of Carbondale must be com
mended on their good work in con-
fining the fire to the four buildings
and in getting it checked as soon as
they did.
The building occupied by Green
Brothers was owned by the First
National Bank of Carbondale and the
store was known as the A, B G. C
Store. The store had been closed for
more than week after having been
declared to be bankrupt by the
court. 1t was not known whether
the watchman, who tends to the
building was there this morning or
not. 1t is supposed that the fire was
caused by defective flue.
The total loss caused by the fire
will reach nearly S125,OOO. The
loss sustained by the First National
Bank by the burning of their build
ing will be between $4,000 and $1O,-
600. They carried about $4,000 in
surance on the building. Van Ber-
gen Brothers loss will reach $751;
600. Frank E. Dennis loss was
$4,000, about one-half covered by
insurance. Mills Brothers loss was
$4,000, about half covered by in
surance.
All four of the buildings were
compile " consumed by the flames.
1t is tn largest fire Carbondale has
experien for many years.

In 1911 there were one hundred
and nine deaths and one hundred
and sixty births recorded in the same
registration district. This compared
to the one hundred and fifty-seven
deaths and one hundred and thirty
one births of 1912 shows an increase
in the death rate and a decrease in
the birth rate. In Honesdale, how
ever, the number of births increased
during the past year sixteen over
1911. In Texas township the birth
rate decreased by eighteen. In Ore
gon township the rate remained the
same and in Berlin township there
was a decrease of eight.
OF the one hundred and thirty
one persons who died in this district
during the past year, heart disease
in its various forms was responsible
for the death of eighteen of the num-
Der. Eleven were claimed by tuber-
culosis and eight by cerebral hem
orrhage. Four persons died of pneu-
monia, eight of Bright's disease and
six of apoplexy There was one
death by suicide and four deaths
were the result of accident or burns,

WILL NAME PRINCE
TO RULE IN ALBANIA
Peace Conference Decides He
Will Take Throne in Six
Months = Commission in
Control Till Then.

LONDON, July 30.-The Ambassa-
Of New Albania prince will be
nominated six months hence to rule
over the new state. In the meantime
a commission of control, composed of
one representative of each power
will organize the administration with
the aid OF a Swedish officer Of the
Gendarme.
A conference has done nothing Off
cially in the way Of coercing Turkey
and as the strongest feeling is mani
tested at Indignation meetings
throughout India against any attempt
to drive the Turks from Adrianople,
it is not likely that the British gov
eminent would be anxious to initiate
such coercion.
The Greeks are still operating by
sea and by land. The Bulgarians who
were defeated recently at Kresna
Pass, turned upon the pursuing
Greeks TO the northwest OF Djuma.
Furious lighting occurred, the rein
forced Bulgarians making a desperate
attempt TO recapture their lost posi-
tons.
The battle lasted throughout Sun
day during which the Greeks thrice
were elected at the point of the bay
onet from one position. The fighting
took place over an extended front.
and both sides suffered heavily. Ac-
cording to a Greek account of the
battle, neither side had gained a deci-
sive advantage at nightfall Sunday,
but under the cover of darkness, the
shaken Bulgarian retired after aban-
dOning and setting fire to the town of
Djuma, which later the Greeks occu-
pied.
A correspondent with the Greeks
says that their losses in the previous
battle for the possession of Krena
were zoo killed and wounded. The
loses in Sundays battle are not
given. The correspondent adds that
except for rear guard actions the
Bulgarians can make no further stand
this side OF Dubnitza, % miles south
OF Sofia, and that now not a single
Bulgarian soldier remains in Mace
dOnia except as prisoners.
The Greek fleet has occupied the
ports OF Lagos. Maronia, and Makri
on the coast Of Thrace, and a Greek
force has captured the town of Gu
murjina. - miles inland from the

RUSSIA IS NOT
INCLUDED IN LIST
Country Not Included in the
"MOSt Favored Nation"
Treatment, According to
SeCy. McAdoo'S Statement.

WASHINGTON. July so. - Secy.
McAdoo Tuesday announced that
wood pulp and paper would not be
admitted free OF duty from Russia
under Most favored nation" treat
ment, the treaty OF commerce and
navigation between the United States
and Russia having been abrogated.
The customs court recently decided
that European countries with favored
nation treaties with the United States,
were entitled to free wood pulp and
paper because that provision was
granted 10 Canada. The treasury de-
partment has accepted that principle,
but for the time being will apply 1t
only TO Norway, Austria Hungary and
Germany, which, aside from Russia,
were the only countries directly in
vOlvcd in the decision.
Secy. McAdOo has asked Secy.
Bryan to ascertain whether Sweden,
Belgium, Finland, New Foundland,
England and Denmark are entitled to
free entry by virtue Of their treaty
rights. Wood pulp and paper come
from these countries but as they were
not specifically mentioned by the court
the state department is asked to de-
eide whether they come within the
purview of the decision.
In view Of the abrogation on De-
cember 81 last OF the treaty of 1882
with Russia wood pulp and paper i'm
pOrtations from that country since
that time will be assessed duty.
Acceptances OF the customs courts
decision ultimately will result in the
United States surrendering $4,000 600
in duty already collected.
