 NEW YORK, Dec. l9.---A wireless message received at the navy yard to- day from the flagship of the Atlantic fleet tells of the breaking of one pro- peller shaft of the battleship Vermont during gale which the fleet encoun- tered between Gibraltar and the Azores islands.
 The fleet has heen bucking head sea and even the powerful engines of the battleships found il considerable of a strain to keep the vcsscrs head up to the wind and seas and at the same time maintain the slow speed required to keep their forcastles from diving into the combers
 The strain on the starboard shaft of the Vermont was more than the Gteel would stand and without warning 1t snapped about twenty feet from the stern. Considerable damage was done to the shaft alley hy the pounding of the broken end of the rod before the engine could be stopped

 WASHINGTON. Dec. 1S.-Seeretary of State Bryan has asked congress to appropriate money for the purchase of ground by the United States and the erection of anl embassy building in Mexico City. This is following out q policy that administration after ad- ministration has asked congress tn take up. that is the providing of prop CT residences for the American diplo matic representatives abroad. It is customary for Ell countries of any prominence to provide suitable quar- ters for the embassies to foreign capi- tals and 1t has been a source of much embarrassment to many of our foreign ministers and amba ssa dors that they have been compelled to occupy quar- ters that were not at all in keeping with the dignity of their Cffice

SHANNON SETTLES
SUIT FOR $500.

The suit of John w. Shannon
against the Frederick A. Havens Co.
and John G. Emgamble, partner in
the firm, for the recovery of $40, 900
damages, will not be tried at the
June term of court. The reason for
this is, that the case has been set
tied out of court
That a satisfactory settlement of
the difficulties had been reached, was
announced recently by the attorneys
for the plaintiff, who accepted $500
and payment of the costs which
amounted to about SS.35, making a
total of $30S.35. The plaintiff ask
ed for $4,000.
Shannon had been employed by
the Havens company as brick lay
er in the construction of the Gurney
Electrical Elevator plant on lower
Main street. A brick thrown from
the top of the wall by fellow work
man injured Shannon when it struck
him on the head. The injury prov
ed to be permanent and he is yet un-
able to do any work. Searle & Sal
mon, of Honesdale, handled the case
for the plaintiff and e. R. Stocker,
of Scranton, represented the COM
pany.

BERNHARDT IN MOTION PICT-
URES.

Much has been heard of the NOV
ing picture machine as the ignoble
but dangerous rival of legitimate
drama, crowding the players off the
boards and debasing the public taste
with it's crude and tawdry substitute
for dramatic art. Its success in
bringing to stay-at-home people
startling intimate glimpses of animal
life in the jungle as well as the au-
thentic pageantry of durbars and
coronations has served to remind US,
it is true, that the motion-picture can
assert its dominance in certain fields
and yet give the artistic no cause
to grieve. But to many it will
doubtless be surprise to learn that
no less an artist than Sarah Bern
hardt has entrusted her art to the
films, and that she will be seen this
season in the United States in his
torical photo-play. Its twenty-one
scenes are adopted from Amiel Nor
eau's Queen Elizabeth" a new
drama in which the actress made her
first appearance and scored a fresh
triumph only last April. At the
Lyric, June goth.

TO BE IN NEW PLANT JULY T.

The two shops of the Gurney Ele-
vator Co. are the busiest places in
town. The machine tools are being
moved at the rate of two a day and
will be nearly all moved by the end
of this week, surely by the end of
next. The progress in moving the
stock has not been so fast, and there
is still the larger part of this to
move. The offices and drafting room
will soon be installed at the new
plant.
A large gang of men are busy in
stalling the new machinery at the
new plant, there being 8 or 10 en-
tirely new machinery either installed
or partly installed at this time, the
line shafting for all the machines be-
ing nearly all in place.
1t is probable that the whole plant
will be moved and possibly all run
ming by July 1st.

CHICKEN THIEVES TELL
DIFFERENT STORY
JUDGE SEARLE HEARS BOYS
STORIES AND WILL TAKE THE
MATTER UNDER AMUSEMENT.
Willis DiIlmuth and Fred Sherwood,
21 and IL Years Old, Respective
ly, Tell Altogether Different Stor-
les of Their DeDridatiOnS,

ly, Tell Altogether Different Stor-
les of Their Depridations.
Willis Dilmuth, aged 21 years, and
Fred Sherwood, aged 16, were
brought before Judge Searle on Mon
day afternoon for preliminary hear
ing. The stories told by the two boys
vary on several important points.
Sherwood, who pied guilty to
taking chickens, made out a state
ment in the presence of District At
torney Simons, N. B. Spencer and
Sheriff Kimble. He told practically
the same story as he did in the
statement. Dilmuth, however, de-
MED some of the allegations. Sher-
wood told a straightforward story
when arraigned before Judge Searle.
Dillmuth, who also pied guilty to
taking chickens on several occasions
said that he had been out with Sher-
wood present two times and that
Clarence and Harry Hall had been
along once when Sherwood was
present. He said that twice they
had sold chickens to Hawker &
Bartholemus, but that they were sure
the men did not know they were
stolen. They also sold 19 to Dein,
who had been in Dyberry. Sher-
wood asked him if he wanted any
chickens and Mr.. Dein had said that
he did. We received IA cents per
pound for them. The places they
had been for chickens as told by
Sherwood was as follows: Jack Ar
thur and Cottles one night; Owen
Fox and John Smith one night, and
Chas. Webb's one other night. He
also said that the Hall boys were not
with them.
Sherwood made a good impression
on the Court. He said that he had
quit school and had been working
for the Honesdale Water Company
steadily. He said he had offered to
pay Webb for the chickens but that
he had refused to accept a settle
ment. Young Sherwood made sew
eral allegations all of which were
emphatically denied by Dilmuth and
his mother who was present at the
hearing.
The father of Fred Sherwood told
the Court that his boy had been a
good boy at home and always took
his money home. "They got to
going to the shows in Honesdale and
into the saloons. They had to have
money and took to taking chickens
to get it. l think the picture shows
are indirectly responsible for lead
ing the boys away, but l don't think
they would do it again" The Court
seemed to think so too.
