enthusiasm they display in all their
work.
When asked as TO the ACCESSIBILITY Of
teaching boys the use OF firearms at

about the Secretary replied:
1T has been stated that only about
60 per cent. of the men in the militia
who are armed with rifles know how to
use them properly, and OF this 80 per
cent. only about 80 per cent. actually
tried or ventured TO qualify as marks
men in their rifle practice last year"
In referring to an interview given by
the Secretary OF War TO the Worlds

that coast defences We're good for that

is a determining element, and any Coun-
try that trusts itself TO defence I'M
supported by a mobile army Is destined
to disaster"
Asked as to the suggestion by the
General staff OF the army to abolish
about so per cent. Of the present posts
he said that such authority must come
from Congress. However. he thinks
that he has a partial solution for this
problem. His idea is to consolidate into
one all the army posts OF State. This

MAD MAN KILLS 4
AND WOUNDS IS IN
FIRE FROM STEEPLE
Barricades Himself in Steeple and
Fires at All Who Approach
Stairs
BY ASsociafcd Press

Budapest June CA mad mur-
derer August Tomsics, has since yes
terday morning made an impregnable
fort out of the steeple of the village
church at Hoeflany. Armed with a
repeating rifle and 500 cartridges, he
took refuge in the steeple after killing
farmer and his wife and wounding
their daughter.
Police tried to reach the criminal,
but were repulsed with a fusillade,
which killed two and wounded four
teen Others
A large force of police surrounded
the church to-day, but their COM
mander confessed he was helpless un-
til Tomsica decided to surrender vol
unfairly or used up his ammunition.
A narrow stairway is the only ap-
proach to the steeple and whenever
anybody has attempted to ascend it
Tomslcs has been able to force him
quickly to descend again. He fired
200 of his 500 cartridges yesterday,
and besides wounding a large number
of persons. destroyed the altar and
pictures in the church.
This morning he shouted from the
steeple, 1T is a good thing you let me
sleep during the night. Now have
fresh strength When my last
cartridge is gone l will kill myself"

Parcel Post Building
Is Being Considered
Special to The Telegraph

Washington, June 6.-The Post Of
flee Department has under considera-
ton improvements which tend to as
sure a quick and free handling of par
eel post in the city of Philadelphia.
Speaking of this, Congressman Logue
said:
Il went over several proposals to-
day for buildings at which the Post
Office Department will handle the par
eel post in Philadelphia. A central
site will be determined on in the
course of few days, and this will in
sure that no matter what the quantity
of parcel post during the coming Fall
and winter Philadelphia will be fully
equipped and able to handle it with
dispatch. The selection of a build
ing for handling the parcel post will
in no way interfere with the appro-
priation bills L have introduced for
new Post Office building in Philadel-
phia.'

King" Of County Amshouse Has Most Excellent Reason

Not only has C. S. Tyson, aged 40,

and even patent-leather shoes when
they could be had, but he has just as

STRIPS SKIN FROM
MOTHER TIME AFTER
TIME To SAVE CHILD
Brave Fight Of Mrs. Anna Nurich
Will Soon Be Over Say
Doctors
GIRL WAS TERRIBLY BURNED
Medical Experts Found Grating
Only Measure That Could Re-
store Her to Health
GIRL WAS TERRIBLY BURNED

Four times during the past year Mrs.
Anna Nurick, 1881 Fulton street, has
suffered the pain of having skin
stripped from her body that her
burned child might live. But still her
patient suffering is not enough, and
soon, for the fifth time, Mrs. Nurick
will have to undergo another opera
ton, when several inches of her skin
will again be taken and grated upon
the wounds of the child.
Martha Nurick, who is years old,
was played with lighted candle about
year ago at her home when the ac-
cident occurred. The child was taken
to the Harrisburg Hospital. where she
lay for many months slowly strug-
ling back to life. Doctors at the hos
pital believed that the child's recov-
cry would be fastened if she could
be treated by the noted skin specialists
at Jefferson, and so she was sent to
the Philadelphia institution.
The skin that was stripped from
the mothers back and arms was ap
piled to parts of Marthas body
where the flames had been most cruel.
The child's condition was much i'm
proved, but yesterday the doctors at
Jefferson hospital decided that an
other portion of new skin must be at
tached to the child's body in order to
assure its recovery.
While Mrs. Nurick has UNDERGONE
these painful operations, She saws her
own physical sufferings are lost in
the joyful knowledge that the burned
child is going to recover.

Pittsburgh, June 6.-Large crowds

to the Westinghouse Electric and

East Pittsburgh when the whistles
blew for the men to report for work
this morning and as each workman
entered the gates he was called upon
by friends in the crowd to join them.
There were some additions to the
ranks of the strikers, and other men
seeing the crowds returned to their
homes. Twenty special policemen
were on duty but there was no dis

Long lines of piclets, men and
women stretched from the factory

puestion ,tleS issued a lorlilal appear
to all saloon keepers in the Turtle
Creek Valley to close their saloons un-
til the strike was over.
President L. NJ. Herr, of the Electric
company, said that he believed the

when they quieted down it was likely

The plant of the Westinghouse Ma

The plant has been running five days

majesty pointedly ignored the request;
when the same official little more
