Especial to the star-Independent)

Especial to the Star-Independent)
Carlisle, Pa, Dec. 24.-The arrest of
second Indian was made to-day in
connection with the robbery last Mon.
day night of Mrs. Lydia Lewis, who
was choked and sand'bagged and at the
point of revolver compelled to tell the
hiding place of her Christmas savings,
$40. Her home is within two squares
of the heart of the town and she was
attacked while she lay i'll in bed.
The police this morning took into
custody Genus Baird, a graduate of the
Carlisle Indian school and now en-
ployed in the printing department of
that institution. Baird, the police say,
is a friend of Lewis TWIN, also an In
dian, who yesterday was arrested in
connection with this same crime. Both
redmen for month or more had been
employed at the Indian school, TWIN
having come here from Harrisburg and
Baird from Philadelphia, to which cities
they had gone after graduation at the
Carlisle Indian school.
When arrested Baird denied that he
was in town on Friday night, the time
OF the robbery, although the police say
he later admitted having been here for
several weeks. However Baird disclaims
having any knowledge of the crime.
The two defendants were to have been
given preliminary hearing before
Justice of the Peace W. G. Hughes to-
day, but 1t had to be postponed because
of the illness of Mrs. Lewis, the victim.
Physicians now say that Mrs. Lewis,
VINO is past so years old. will recover.
Baird, while attending the Indian
School, was a memoer of the baseball
team. He also was a catcher on an in
dependent team oil which Sherwood Ma
gee, long member of the Philadelphia
Nationals, was a player

This is the of gadness! Hail it we war-scarred
lands
Reeking with gore, sing the anthem of yore,
Chanted by heavenly bands!
On fertile fields crimsoned
And bighted by Wars grim frown,
On plage and black desoation
The Christ of Peace looks down.
This is the of mercy! Hail it We millions who
say!
Battlefelds red, meath your niantel of dead
Welcome the Holy Day
Ye monarchs who wear His symbol
And praise Him for realm and crown,
On hosts ye have manned and murdered,
The Christ of Peace looks down.
This is the of kndness Greet it We Christians
to-day,
Wadng Deaths flood, drunken with blood,
Cursed by the loves We betray!
By temples reared for His worship,
Ye slaughter for paltry renown,
While waiting with infinite patience
The Christ of Peace looks down.

ACCUSEDOF CRIME
John E. Mills, Victim of Holdup, Makes
Supplement to Statement in Effort

daring and fatal holdup of John L.
Mills, the well-known foreman of the
Semet-Solvay coke plants at North Leb-
anon, near this city, Monday night at
10 o o'clock, when he was shot through
the liver and robbed by two highway
men. Mills succumbed TO his wounds
early this morning.
Lying on his deathbed, the victim of
the brutal attack yesterday made an
ante-mortem statement in which he ac-
cused Ray Seiders of being the man who
shot him, saying: "You stepped back
three PAGES and shot me. He then
added: elf it was not you who shot
me, then it was your double This was
his supplement to the statement in an
effort to be fair to the accused man.
The accusation was dramatic. Stand
ing beside Mills in his room at the Leb-
anon sanitarium was DIR. A. B. Glon-
niger, who was there TO see that his pa
tient would not exert himself to great
extent. At the foot of the bed stood
the prisoner and direstly behind him

ELKS TO SHOW Children
A BIC Time ON SATURDAY
All Youngsters of City Are Invited to
Visit Club House Where Christmas
Trees and Presents Have Been Pre-
pared for Them

Here is a tip for youngsters of the
city who are looking for the time of
their young lives. Let them 90 to the
Elks' club house, PIG North Second
street, on Saturday between 8 o'clock
in the morning and clock in the
afternoon, since a big surprise is in
store for them there.
The grill room of the club house has
been fitted up for the exclusive use of
the youngsters at this time. All are
invited. They can come singly or in
crowds, and need not be accompanied
by their parents or by any body else s
parents. 1t is children s day at the
Elks' and the sole object is to show
the children a good time.
There will be music to begin with,
but that is only the beginning. What
will take the eye of every youthful
visitor will be the three big Christmas
trees, on a platform crowded with me-
ehanlcal toys and illuminated with
numerous colored electric lights. There
viii be toys to play with and there will
be nobody to shout "hands off at
the merrymakers. Oranges will be
distributed and the shells will be
thrown all around. What active young
ster' s heart could desire morel
Boxes of candy will be given to all
visitors as remembrances of the occa-
sion, remembranees which may not last
long perhaps, but which it is safe to
say, will be highly acceptable.
1t had been hoped that the child
ren S day could come before Christmas,
but as it is the children who take ad,
vantage of the Elks hospitality will
prolong their celebration and have two
Christmas days instead of one.
To-day, wagonloads of baskets con
tanning provisions for needy families
left the Elks' club house, and were
distributed throughout the city. The
baskets contained potatoes, canned
goods, flour and fruits. The addresses
of the families where food is needed
to make tomorrow a joyful Christmas,
were received through the Associated
Charities and from other sources.

late WAR news summary

To-day's official statements reveal
the intense nature of the fighting now
in progress both east and west, but in
dicate that. with the possible exception
of East Prussia, there has been no
significant change in the alignment of
the opposing forces.
The German statement tells of a
tight for possession of a trench in
France which was won by the French,
recaptured by the Germans and finally
abandoned. So fierce was the struggle
that the trench was almost levelled by
artillery fire. No important movements
are reported in the German communi-
cation.
The French statement, while saying
that small gains have been made here
and there, mentions German attacks
at so many points that it is apparent
the allies have not been permitted
solely to take the offensive into their
own hands. Such ground as they have
won recently is not to be held without
hard fighting.
The fighting in Poland has become
most severe and at the points along
the line west of Warsaw the issue is be-
ing fought out with bayonets. The
Berlin War Office states that the Rus
sian advance in East Prussia has been
checked and that the Russians at
Mlawa in Poland near the Prussian
border have been defeated.

SANTA CLAUS DELAYS THE
TRAINS AT PLNNSY STATION

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
at least the employees i'll and around
the passenger station in this city,-had
full share of the Christmastide az
tivity. Trains that came into the city
on time were held out of the train she'd
for periods ranging from ten minutes to
half an hour this morning, because of
blockade of express ears which had to
be left standing in the station to per-
nit the transfer of the thousands OF
Christmas packages.
To say there were thousands of
packages received and shipped at the
Harrisburg transfer doesn t give~a real
idea of all that the station attaches
were doing to-day. Everywhere in the
train shed could be seen stacks and
stacks of parcels and bundles
Trucks were piled four and five feet
high with the Christmas gifts and on
the platforms and in the parcel room
they were stacked even higher an
every employe was real busy Santa
Claus.
As fast as express ears could be
loaded or unioaded they were taken
from the train shed and then only
could the regular trains enter to dis
charge their passengers. Parcel post
bags containing the smaller packages
We're to be seen piled high on many
trucks.
Passenger traffic also was unusually
heavy. All day the station proper and
the annex waiting room were crowded
Practically the same conditions pre-
vailed at the Reading terminal

fine VIEW or OLD CAPITOL
ETHE NEWSBOYS' Greeting
The Star-Independent Carriers To-day
Are Distributing Their New Years
Calendar, Which Is Work of Rare
Historic Value and Artistic Beauty

The Star-Independent s faithful car
rier boys-the youngsters who every
day all year round. whether in the
heat of summer or through winters
snow drifts, bring the news to your
home in the evening-are to-day dis
trihuting their annual New Year s
greeting-a beautiful reproduction of a
photograph of the old Capitol building,
with calendar attached.
From an architectural viewpoint, for
its natural beauty ard for its historic
value, the old Capitol, which was de-
stroyed by flames on February 2, 1897,
was building the memory of which is
dear to all loyal Pennsylvanians and es-
pecially to the people of the city in
which it was so long landmark.
In reproducing the building for the
Star-1ndependent newsboys' greeting
the artist has produced an exceptionally
fine picture. The clear outlines of the
old building as it stood for years on the
summit of Capitol Hill are brought out
as never before, and not single feature
of the colonial architecture of the strue-
ture is lost The calendar is of inter
est and value not only to those who re-
member the old Capitol and cherish
that memory, but also to the younger
generation who never saw this build
ing.
The newsboys who have served the
Star-Independent S readers so well and
so faithfully throughout the last year
are worthy set who believe thoroughly
in the existence of Old Saint Nick, and
they are not being forgotten in their
rounds of the city tc deliver their greet
ing to-day

With Feet in Stream and Ice
Formed Around Them
Especial to the star-Independent.>

Especial to the Star independently
Carlisle, Pa, Dec. 24.-Betty Tay-
lor, colored nanny past eighty
years old, last evening was found by
a policeman when she was sitting half
frozen along the bank of the Letort
Spring, small stream running through
the town, with her feet hanging down
in the water. She was in semi-con-
scious condition when discovered and
to-day . physician said she is danger
ousfy fffsas fesffft of exposure. 1t is
feared she will not recover.
Members of her family said the old
woman, at times, becomes mentally de-
ranged and that she suffered such an
attack last evening when, instead of
going shopping as she had planned,
she wandered aimlessly about until she
reached the bank of the stream. She
left her home early in the evening and
the search for her was not begun until
almost two hours afterward when the
family became alarmed because of her
prolonged absence.
Patrolman Johns joined the family
in the search for Mrs. Taylor and he
found her at the Letort Spring. She
was thinly clad. Ice had formed
around her shoe top. Although she was
visibly affected by the cold, she made
no complaint or explanation to the po-
liceman or her family.
For many years the old colored wom-
an has been employed as a domestic in
the home of Frank Bossler, in Carlisle.
The Bossler family recently went away
ON a pleasure trip and since then she
had been staying at her own home in
the east end of town.
