Altoona, Pa, April fS.-For fear
that Frank G. Hohl, the fugitive bank
bandit. may come back and pull OFF
another sensational stunt in this old
town, diamond ring and $500 in
cash, taken from the bandit when he
was lodged in Jail, have been placed

The diamond is so large that II

time been an employe of the Middle
division when headquarters were in
Harrisburg.
A perusal of the Middle division
pay rolls disclosed the fact that Hohl
received his first employment in the
Middle division telegraph offices in
1901. His first job was given him by
William Fl. Balsley, division operator
of this city.
AT that time the Middle division Of

Hohl worked for Mr.. Balsley as a mes

Mr.. Balsley's office at that time, and
he remembers the boy, also. AS lad,

STOP! LOOK !! AND
. LISTEN! ORDER IS
FOR AUTO OWNERS
Judge Kunkel Decides Passengers
Needn't Watch For Machines
When Alighting From Cars

Passengers alighting from trolley
cars needn't necessarily hesitate, look
|hnd listen for the approach of auto
mobiles:
Laws, legislative acts of 1909 and
1913, on the subject protect them.
The question was brought up yester-
Play afternoon in April Common Pleas
fourt during the trespaSs suit of
George y. Matchett against =. n. Kas-
Fon and President Judge Kunkels rul-
ing on the subject this morning was
substantially to the effect that the
avs regulating the operation OF auto
mobiles on streets and highways offer
fhe proper safeguard.
Matchett was struck by an automo-
bile some months ago while stepping
from a trolley car. The motor was
Nasson's and in suing for damages.
|N3tchett contended that the acts of
909 supplemented by the act of 1918
pm the subject, required the driver of
Pm automobile to he on the lookout
Tor people who might step in front
Pf his motor. In other words Kasson.
pohn Fox Weiss. counsel contended
had been negligent.
Just before court adjourned in the
afternoon, Fox and Geyer, counsel
Tor kasson, asked for a compulsory
|lon-suit on the ground that contrib,l-
ory negligence on Matchett's part was
lso responsible for the accident. The
bet of 1913 supplementing the act of
s0s, the defense contended, provided
hat an auto approaching a trolley
ar which had stopped to discharge
passengers, should wait until after the
rolley had again started; but this
regulation didn't necessarily mean
hat the passenger would not have to
continue to exercise ordinary caution
nd stop, look and listen as before, In
Pther words the defense held that the
legislative provision in question was
Intended as a double safeguard for the
fafety of the passengers and didn't
necessarily relieve the passenger of ali
responsibility. -''
And President Judge kunkel, this
norning without comment, over.ruieG
he motion.

GREEK CHURCH To
CELEBRATE EASTER
Big Procession viii Precede Cere-
monies Creation Sokol
Will Drill

While the greater part of Christen-
dom was gaily celebrating Easter Sum
day just a week ago tomorrow there
were many people scattered through
out the world who held aloof from the
festivities. To these people, the fol-
lowers of the orthodox churches, the
anniversary of the resurrection, of
Christ comes tomorrow.
Down in the little foreign settlement
in the lower end of Steelton the men,
bers of st. Nicholas Servian Orthodox
Church for days past have been busy
preparing for to-morrows festivities.
On Friday i deep excavation was
made in the rear of the church, in
South Second street, to represent the
sepulchre of Christ In this place was
inferred an image representing The
crucified Christ.
Tomorrow morning at o'clock the
members of st. Nicholas congregation
will assemble in their church and.
headed by the priest in his flowing
robes, will form into a procession to
proceed to the ''sepulchre." Here 1t is
the custom to have music and much
rejoicing as the happy discovery is
made that "the Christ is arisen"
After this ceremony at the sepulchre
is \ended the procession will disband
to celebrate the day in much the same
manner as Easter was observed last
Sunday. A concert by the Liberty
band and drill by the Croatian Sokol
will be some of the high lights in the
days festivities. Easter, according to
the orthodox church, falls one week
later than in the Catholic Church on
account of change in the manner of
reckoning time. The orthodox church
clings to the old Julian calendar, while
the Catholic Chuch has adopted the
calendar as corrected under Pope
Gregory.

courts in many counties, lawyers,
bankers, merchants, farmers in large
numbers, railroaders, miners and
workingmen in general. Indeed among
the strongest supporters Judge Kun
KEEL has are the farmers and in labor
circles.
Among the farmers Judge Kunkel is
we'll remembered as the judge before
whom the Capitol conspirators were
convicted and sent to the penitentiary,
and whose efforts led to the return of
nearly two millions of stolen money to
the State. These cases attracted wide
spread attention and there were no
more interested people. in the State
than the farmers, who were strong in
the belief that the offenders should
receive just such punishment as Judge
Kunkel meted out to them.
In labor circles Judge Kunkel is re-
membered as the judge who sustained
the Full Crew" law when it was at
tackled by the railroad interests,
which decision was sustained by the
Supreme Court.
Lawyers from all parts of the State
readily signed Judge KunkeFs petit
tions, having learned to admire him
during their frequent appearance here
in important State tax and political
cases.
The petitions sent to the nonpartisan
committee having in charge the Kun
KEEL campaign were accompanied by
letters from many friends of the
Judge, in which they predict sweep
ing victory for him at the May pri-
maries, and it is generally conceded
that his nomination will mean his cleo
ton.
Nominating petitions descended on
the State Capitol by the dozens to-day
and when the Office of the Secretary
of the Commonwealth closed for the
week at noon, baskets of papers were
piled high awaiting examination as
to number of signatures and affidavits.
Numerous petitions containing many
more names than necessary to qualify
candidates for the primary were filed
and scores of supplemental petitions
were filed in behalf of candidates who
had already entered their papers.
Michael j. Ryan, of Philadelphia,
candidate for Democratic nomination
for Governor, and William Draper
Lewis candidate for Washington nom
ination, filed their papers almost si-
multaneously just before noon. The
petition of Clifford Pinchot, candidate
for the Washington nomination for
Senator, came along about the same
time. There were filed for Mr.. Ryan
1877 petitions from 33 counties, con-
tanning $4,000 signatures, and for Mr..
Lewis 81 petitions from % counties,
containing 2,764 signers Mr.. Pinchot's
papers numbered 35 from % counties,
containing 2,S34 names.
Other petitions filed for Statewide
nominations were w. N McNair, AL
legheny, and w. T. Mechling, Butler,
Democrats, for Secretary of Internal
Affairs; Fred e. Lewis, Allentown,
Washington, Secretary of Internal Af-
fairs, and A. r. RupIey, Carlisle, Lex
n. Mitchell, Punxsutawney, and A. H.
Walters, Johnstown, for Congress-at-
large.

In connection with the withholdin

ST|LT KING FALLS
AND QUOTES BARD
Declares With Shakespeare That
Good Buttermilk Needs
No Press Agent

Irwin, Pa. April 1S-A headlong
plunge down hill and tangled wind
up at the bottom were the thrills yes
terday in the days life of the Tele-
graphs stiltwalker, f. E. Wilvert,
AS once before on his remarkable
trip, Wilvert this time escaped injury
although suffering slightly from
bruises. His stout stills also remain
ed unbroken. When he took the
plunge Wilvert managed to swerve to
the side and rolled like a barrell for
a considerable distance.
Wilvert got into town at o'clock
last night and received considerable
of an ovation. He stopped at the
Irwin house and drank about a quart
of NJ. j. McDonnel's famous butter
milk, which is brought down every
day from up the hill by a buttermilk
specialist Wilvert quoted Shakes
peare as he 'downed the last drop, re-
marking: Good wine needs no bush.
and good buttermilk no press agent"
A deep silence in the bar followed
this remark, and then the crowd gave
three cheers for the stilt king who
soon after retired, or, as we say up
here, went to bed.

interesting story of the accident which
might have been more serious but for

The Steelton car was en- route to
Harrisburg. Two miles east of Rock

Rodgers coming west. To avoid the
Rodgers car Werlich turned toward the
' fance along the bank. crashing into
| the Jesse w. Hedrick car which was
stalled because of a lack of gasoline.
, Young Hedrick, it is said, with his
friends, f. o. Bodenhorn, and two
| girls whose names could not be learn
! ed, were standing along the fence.
| When the crash came the occu-
pants of the Steelton car were tumbled
/ out. Bodenhorn grabbed one girl and
got her out of the way of the Steelton
car, but he could not reach the Pax
tang girl in time and she was caught
by the running board and thrown to
the ground. The Paxtang girls first
name is said to be Lucy.
Back of the Steelton car was an
other machine from Steelton. In this
party were Councilmen Frank Stees
and Thomas Nelly, David Baker, Gill
bert Brown and Harry Dick. They
went at once to the aid of the injured
and took the Steelton folks home.
Bodenhorn's Story
Bodenhorn to-day in speaking of
the accident said that the Steelton car
was running at the rate of forty miles
an hour. Following the smashup Bo-

about to jump into the Susquehanna
river, fearing that he would get into
trouble for damaging his fathers car.
He was restrained with difficulty by
his companions.

was hurled more than twenty-five feet
and was thrown against fence. She
was taken to her home immediately
after the accident and placed under
the care of a physician, says Boden-
horn. Bodenhorn refuses to tell the
