German-Americans Ask
For Just Treatment
By Associated Press

New York, Aug s.-The United
German American Alliance in resolu-
tions made public to-day calls upon
the press of the country to accord i'm
partial and just treatment to all sides"
In the European conflict and condemns
what is styled as the attitude of GER
tain portions of an English speaking
American press to spread Impressions
which lead to hatred of Germany and
Germans
The resolution absolves Emperor
William from responsibility for the
war and attributes II to Frances de-
sire for revenge for the loss of Alsace-
Lorraine: Russia's unappeasable ap-
petite for world power and Englands
jealousy of Germany"
The alliance has formed an aid society
to give financial help to families of
German soldiers and will start a SINH
lar movement among Germans
throughout the United States.
we feel says the resolution in
conclusion, that shortly the world
will be able to judge calmly as to the
real causes of the awful catastrophe
and that then Germany and its en-
peror will be acquitted in a forum un-
influenced by the clash of arms, by
racial hatred and national and dynas-
tic interests; and we ask our friends
throughout our beloved republic and
the American lover of a square deal,
to accord the German cause unbiased
consideration and to realize with us
that the liberty and peace-loving, in
dustrious, thrifty German, the lover of
his God, his home and fireside, is now
engaged in the same old struggle for
liberty and humanity. which so often
has found him in the breach for the
cause of civilization, and that the Slav
power power stands in this fight as it
ever did. for imperialism, for CONQUEST,
lautocracy and reaction"

Funeral Monday Morning
Funeral services will be held at the

n. Yates. pastor of the Fourth Street
Church of God. of which Mr. Barnes
had been an elder for years, will off,

the Harrisburg Cemetery.
Mr. Barnes was probably more
widely known throughout the county
than any other living court attache
He was a great friend of the members
of the Dauphin county bar and of the
judges of Dauphin cGunty's bench for
years and years. It is significant of
the regard in which Mr.. Barnes was
held that when he became too i'll to
longer voice the "Oyez! oyez!' that
announced the opening of court the
attorneys requested that Mr.. Barnes
be kept in service as a court crier
even though he was unable to attend
his duties.
Prominent Mason
Mr.. Barnes all his life had been a
staunch adherent and worker of the
Republican party and would have
been a veteran of the Civil War had
his country needed his services. He
enlisted and was ready to go to the
front but his command was not need
ed. For many years Mr.. Barnes has
been a member of Robert Burns
Lodge, Free and Accepted Masons.
Despite his age, the court crier re-
tanned his mental faculties to a won.
derful degree and his memory for
names and incidents in the trial OF
court cases of years and years age
was one of his many remarkable char
acteristics Genial and kind hearted

around the Courthouse and through.
out the county. SO, when he prepared
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1914-08-08

to turn his face to the wall for the last
time, attorneys and even the judges
of the Dauphin bench called to see
or inquire for him. During his Illness
one of Mr.. Barnes cherished recollec-
tions was a visit from a white-haired
negro he never knew by name who
dropped in to inquire about him for
DR.. Thomas G. Fox, Hummelstown, a
former prothonotary of Dauphin
county, who died a few months ago.
Also Federal Crier
While Mr.. Barnes was best known
perhaps as the crier for Dauphin
county's court, he also served in a
similar capacity for the Federal Court
for the Middle district. Attorneys who
did business in the Federal Court i'm
mediately after Judge Charles b. Wit
mer had been elevated to the bench

to that effect.
'All right, your honor" nodded Mr..
Barnes gravely, and then to the
crowded courtroom: "Oyezzoyez! The
court SitS!'
During ldIer years MT. Barnes De-
came friends with President Judge
Kunkel and Additional Law Judge
McCarrell, both of whom were ad-
mitted to the bar during Mr.. Barnes
regime. EX-Judge Weiss, father of
eX-District Attorney John Fox Weiss,
was another particularly close friend
of the court crier.
Wouldn't Attend Execution
In all his years of service for the
county Mr.. Barnes opened and closed
court upon many a famous trial, in
cluding scores of homicide cases. But
this was all in the days work, the
court crier contended, and he never
would attend an execution. One of
the memorable cases through which
Mr.. Barnes sat was the trial of Sidney
Ware, the Lykens miner, who served
twenty years in the penitentiary for
the murder of a companion and who
was pardoned just a few years ago
When Ware came into court imme-
crier was one of the first men to clasp
his hand. Twenty years before Mr.
Barnes shook hands with Ware when
he said good-by.
While Mr.. Barnes was best known,
perhaps, as court crier, he also served
for ten years at least as custodian of
the Courthouse-in the days when
caring for the fires meant carrying
every bucket of coal and every arm
full of wood from the cellar. For a
few years he owned a bakeshop at lis

his son william.
