NOVEMBER A WARM MONTH
Despite the Low Temperatures of Early
Days, an Excess Is Shown
in the Totals

Warm weather toward the close of
November more than overcame the de-
ficiency in temperature as a result of
the extreme cold days in the early part
of the month, and November will 90
down in Weather Bureau history with
an accumulated excess in temperature
of forty degrees. The last day of the
month added eight degrees 10 this total.
Twice cold weather records were
broken during the month, and with but
one exception the cold weather records
for twenty-six years were smashed. The
last ten days of the month have been
extremely warm and Thanksgiving Day
came close to breaking the maximum
records for the month.
The entire year so far has shown
an excess in temperature of 1877 de-
grees and the last month starts with a
temperature above normal. The repres-
sion responsible for the clouds and rain
has shown no indication to depart and
mild temperatures with overcast skies
is the weather forecast for to night and
bo-morrow. The temperature showed
remarkable similarity yesterday and
last night, due to the overcast skies.
The highest temperature yesterday, the
lowest temperature last night and the
8 O'Clock temperature this morning
were all 48 degrees.

Lamar Is placed ON TRIAL
Charged With Impersonating A. Mitch
ell Palmer With Intent to De-
fraud Two Corporations

New York, Dec. david Lamar
charged in three indictments with i'm
personating officers of the United states
win intent to defraud Wall street
bankers and companies, was placed ON
trial here to-day in the Federal Dis.
trict Court.

ell Palmer with the intent to defraud
j. P. Morgan & Company and the Unit.
ed States Steel Corporation. 1t is

sages, represented himself as being Mr..
Palmer and sought improperly to have
the Morgan firm and the steel corpora
tion employ Edward Lauterbach, a law
yer.
The second indictment, a superseding
one, contained the additional accuse,
tion that Lamar, while talking over the
telephone with Lewis Cass Ledvard,
represented himself as Mr.. Palmer and
said he was talking with the authority
of Speaker Champ Clark. The third in
dictment charged Lamar with conspir-
ing with Lauterbach. District Attorney
Marshall announced that Lauterbach
would be tried separately.

HOMELESS MEN A PROBLEM
The Two Detention Cells at Police
Headquarters Are Crowded With
Wanderers Nightly

The coming of cold, inclement wealth
er is bringing the gentlemen of the
road from exposed places to police
headquarters for nights lodgings and
two detention cells are frequently call
ed on to house as many as thirty men
at time. Some of the hannts of the
wanderers are becoming uncomfortable
ON account of the cold and inclement
weather while other favorite places are
being too well guarded.
The grand stand on the Tri-State
grounds at Island Park was a fayorite
place as long as the wind did not howl
and then the open hearth at the Central
Iron and Steel Company would be the
place frequently sought, but sleeping
at the latter place has been made un,
comfortable by special policemen and
the men apply at police Headquarters.
Last night twenty-six homeless men
were kept at headquarters.
1t is becoming more and more a
problem. In cubic feet of breathing
space The cells, now being used for this
purpose, would house about four men
comfortably, but it is an unusual night
when this number is not trebled. The
deskman at police headquarters has a
book in which he keeps record of the
dodgers" and it is filling more rapid
ly thar the docket, in which is kept
the num,er of arrests.
The lookup under the court house.
which was a favorite haunt of the
homeless men, was closed by the city
Board of Health.

Female WAGE $3.50 A week
Eight Thousand New York Women
Workers Received Less Than That
Sum Last Year
By Associated Press.

New York, Dec. 1.-During the busy
season last year, of $1,000 women
workers in this city, 5000 received
less than $3.50 week s wages, accord
ing to Howard B. Woolston, director
of the Wage Investigation of the State
Factory Investigating Committee, who
to-day summed up the findings on
wages in New York City at the first of
the preliminary hearings of the com
mission to be held here.
Half the wage earners throughout
the State investigated by the State
Factory Commission get less than SIS a
week, said Mr.. Woolston. "Out of a
total of 100000 persons, one-eighth
earn less than s5, one-third less than
81, two-thirds received $40 or less,
and only one-sixth make SIS or more.
''It is difficult to see how girl
manages to live properly on Sc or 81
a week. A typical weekly budget shows
how near the ragged edge many exist:
Clothes, $3.50; room, So; food, $2.5O;
car fare, 80 cents; incidentals, 20
cents.
''Our figures show that at mature
age and after years of experience in
the business, half the women do not
attain $40 nor do the majority of men
reach SIS"

General villa IN A WRECK
Has Narrow Escape When Troop Trains
Collide and Thirty-two Prsons
Are Killed

Mexico City, Nov. 80, via Ell Paso,
Dec. 1.-General Villa entered the cap
ital to-day at the head of about 25,-
600 troops. He arrived during the aft
ernoon in the suburbs, where he remain
ed during the evening, receiving dele
cations and foreign consus. Villa will
not enter the capital part of the city
until the arrival of Provisional Presi

General Villa issued the following
statement to the Associated Press:
My only mission is to restore Or
der in Mexico and not to take personal
revenge on any one. | promise that
order will be restored at once. l am
acting as the subordinate of Provision
al President Gueterries and the Ma
tional convention.
The provisional president is now
tn supreme power in Mexico and am
merely acting as field commander of
the armies. All foreigners and foreign
property will be protected.
General Villa had a narrow escape
from death just before his entry into
the city. His train collided with the
train of General Chao above Tula.
Thirty-twO persons we're killed and
forty injured. One mile below the
scene of the wreck six mines were
found connected with battery con-
cealed in a ravine. The general 3 train

Germans SHOW ACTIVITY
TO THE NORTH OF ARRAS

Paris, Dec. 1, $50 P. M.-The
French official communication given out
In Paris this afternoon says yesterday
the enemy showed considerable activity
north of Arras. In Belgium there was
lively exchange of artillery, but no
infantry attacks. The text of the com.

In Belgium there was a rather

fleets in close proximity in the South
Atlantic presented the possibility of
another naval battle, but in this case,

new developments have occurred.

OF the contested section of Belgium,

There was no official confirmation of
the withdrawal, which could not be

that great battle was In progress be-
tween the User canal and the river Lys
1t was stated that 10000 Germans
had been brought up before Yypres to
make a last effort" to capture the
town.
Latest information concerning the
situation in the east indicated that the
Germans, whose position has been de-
scrlped as desperate one, were under
taking vigorous offensive movements on
some of the scattered battlefelds of
Russian Poland. In East Prussia the
RUSSIANS have succeeded in penetrating
ABOUT thirty miles beyond the border
and IN Gahcia it is reported that the
Austrians have been swept back to, the
gates of Cracow. In all these regions,
however, the issue still hangs in the
balance.

PRESBYTERIAN COMBINE
Missouri Supreme Court Pronounces
Consolidation Valid
By Associated Press.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Dee. 1.-The
consolidation of the Presby' erian church
North and the Cumberland Presby-
terian church is valid, according to a
decision of the Missouri Supreme Court
to-day. The property of the Cumber-
land church at Marshall, No., under
the decision of the court becomes the
property of the Presbyterian church, re-
gardless of the fact that it was paid for
by members of the old Cumberland
church. All the judges concurred ex-
cept Judge Graves.
The decision was on a case appealed
from the Circuit Court at Marshall in
which the Cumberland church sought
recovery of its old property and claim
ed that the consolidation of the two
branches of the Presbyterian church
was illegal.
The Supreme Court ruled that civil
courts have no right to interfere with
the decision of the highest tribunal of
the church in purely ecclesiastical af-
fairs.
Under this decision Missouri Valley
College at Marshall will become the
property of the Presbyterian church.

PROBLEMS OF SANITATION
DISCUSSED IN CONVENTION
Dr. Charles v. Chapin in Paper Scores
Untruthful and unsctentthc State
ments in Bulletin Issued by State
Departments of Health
By Associated Press.

Jacksonville, Fla, Dec. 1.-Problems
OF sanitation as applied to cities and
towns were discussed here to-day at the
forty second annual convention of the
American Public Health Association. A
Joint session was held with the So
geological section at which sanitary ex-
perts explained in detail the work ac-
eompiished in a number of cities for the
prevention of disease.
To-day's program included paper
on Health in Publicity' by DR..
Charles V. Chaplin, health superintend-
ehS OF providence, r. l., and in an ad-
ureSs on The Marriage Certificate -
gy Dr' Oscar Bowling, president of the
Louisiana Board of Health.
Untruthfui and unscientifc state
ments IN bulletins issued by State De-
partments of Health were severely
criticised by DR.. Chaplin. ''For the
sake of those who come after stop fill
ing your columns with tommyro,., hot air
and DOPE he said "Do not be al
ways seeking novelty. Most that is new
Is pad. There are plenty of old truths
which all of our Zoe, 100000 people
have not yet learned"
Among the faalacies being spread to
the detriment of real public health
work, DR. Chaplin cited what he called
me 'old heresy about the all.impor-
tance or dirt in the causation of dis.
ease.' He said that it is doubtless true
uhat whatever encourages cleanliness
tends to discourage the habits which
favor infection, but he believed that
Ito fight all kinds of dirt instead of
limiting attacks to dangerous dirt is
misleading and futile
DR.. Chaplin especially criticised much
OF the publicity on the relation of air
to disease. He stated that the old
theory of exhaled poisons had been de-
mohshed; that germs rarely fioated in
the air; that We are still in profound
ignorance as to the relation of humid
lty to disease; that most of the sup
posed effects of foul, unventilated rooms
nave been shown to be due to tempera-
ture and odors.
Food adulteration, except in few
instances he said, "is an economic,
not a hearth problem. As to partially
decayed foods we know nothing about
their relation to health. The clean
handling of foods is most desirable from
sanitary standpoint, but real cleanli-
ness is most difficult of attainment,
Much that appears is carelessly written
and the emphasis is placed on the wrong
thing, as when dust absorbs all the at
tentlon and nothing IS said about dirty
hands. -

collecting from the applicants the
amount of tax required.
Under the state law the insurance
broker is forbidden to pay the tax out
of his commission, and this compels the
party taking out the policy to pay it,
should the company decide upon that
course.
AT the State Department all papers
and bonds must be stamped, but the
people who file them must pay. The
department win pay for the stamps
when it issues copies of certified pa
pers. All applications for charters
must be stamped. The first application
containing stamp was filed this morn
ing by Stroudsburg automobile com
pany. The department will furnish the
stamps for its express packages and so
forth
At the Adjutsnt Generals and other
departments where bills ofslading for
shipment of goods, kilograms and tele-
phone calls are in use every day, the
State will pay. General Stewart tried
to get stamps yesterday but could not
and to-day sent $20 to Collector Kirk
endall in Lancaster asking for $3.50
worth of war tax stamps
The warrants issued by the Auditor
General and the checks issued by the
State Treasury are not required to be
stamped.

The Chief Justice

"There are very few people who
know the proper designation of the
man who presides over the supreme
court" said the secretary of the SEN
ate.
Generally he is referred to as the
chief justice of the United States su-
preme court. In fact, he is the chief
justice. That 3 his official title. Most
of our presidents in nominating men
for this Office have fallen into the er-
ror of giving him the long title. When
George Washington nominated Oliver
Ellsworth of Connecticut for this post
he described it as chief justice of the
supreme court of the United States.
Andrew jackson made the same error
in nominating Roger B. Taney. So
did Abraham Lincoln when he appoint
ed Salmon P. Chase. Grover Cleve-
land was the first president to give the
correct designation. When he appoint
ed Melville w. Fuller he nominated
him to be chief justice and nothing
else. Washington Star.

BELLIGERENTS MUST AGREE
ON NEUTRAL SHIPPING ZONES

Washington, Dec. Establishment
OF neutral zones for shipping in the
Western Hemisphere, as proposed by
several South American countries, must
be entirely voluntary on the part of the
European belligerents in the view of
PRESIDENT Wilson. He told callers to-
DAY ne had discussed the question
orlefy with Secretary Bryan and Act
ing Secretary Lansing, of the State De-
partment, but no conclusion had been
reached.
The American countries naturally
would have no control of the waters
outside of the three mile limit, border
ing on their territory, the President
SAID, and could place no restrictions on
the operations of the fleets of other na-
tlons except within the three-mile limit
