late WAR news summary

Decisive action by italy is regarded
in Rome as imminent. A brief dispatch
from that city to-day states that the
italian government has taken every pos
sible measure preparatory to beginning
war on the side of the allies.
It is also said in Rome that there Is
observable tendency on the part Of
Bulgaria to adopt policy farovable to
the allies, and that the government
hopes to act in conjunction with Italy
and Rumania. The attitude of Bulgaria
has been in doubt on account of her
hostility toward the other Balkan ma
tions, with the exception OF Turkey,
which grew out of the second Balkan
war.
Prince George of Greece is leaving
Italy for Athens to support the policy
of his brother. King Constantine, for
the continued neutrality of his nation,

The Rev. E. Aurice Mills Suffers Broken
Arm and, With Mrs. Mills, Barely
Escapes Death During an Exciting
Runaway Near Shiremanstown
Especial to the star-Independent.)

Especial to the tar-Independent.)
Shiremanstown, Pa, March 27.-The
Rev. L. Aurice Mills, pastor of the
Church of God, here, who, with Mrs.
Mills, was visiting members of his con
gregation late yesterday afternoon, mar
rowly escaped death when horse he
was driving attached to a buggy be-
came frightened on the Lisburn pike
near the Rosemont station, and ran
away. The horse overturned the buggy
and dragged the Rev. Mr.. Mills for
many yards along the road. The car
riage was demolished and then the
horse broke away and ran a mile before
being stopped by farmers.
Mrs. Mills was thrown out but land
ed on her feet and escaped injury. Her
husband, also thrown out, clung to the
reins in an effort to stop the horse,
and he was dragged through the road,
suffering many body bruises and frac-
ture of the right arm.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mills were taken home
by farmers and the clergyman was
placed in doctor IS hands. He is un-
able to use his right arm but will
preach as usual tomorrow. He believes
that the horse, which was hired, be-
came frightened when part of the
harness snapped.

By Associated Press.

New York, March 27.-The Grand

to his subordinates that all inhabitants
of the mob-ridden section of Persia, in
cluding the thousands Of Christians in
the vicinity of Urumiah, must be pro-
tected, according to advices received

II BID ON NEW FIRE HOUSE
But the Lowest Figures Total 81, ,O37
Above What the City Estimated

Seventeen contractors to-day submit
ted bids for erecting and furnishing the
proposed new fire house for the Royal
company, which is to be built on Derry
street near Twenty-frst street. The
combined amount of the low bids-sep-
arate proposals on building and equip
ment-is $S,537.19, or $1,03719 high
er than the amount appropriate in the
City's annual budget for the purpose,
which was $500.
Park Commissioner Taylor received
and opened the proposals. He has not
decided, he said, whether he will ask
the City Commissioners to award the
contract at the meeting next Tuesday.
Unless it is decided to re-advertise,
which might result in lower bids, it
first will be necessary for the City Com
missioners to make an additional ap-
preparation.
G. E. Shaffer, of this city, was the
low bidder on the building proper, his
offer being s6,997.9s. VI. H. Baker
was low on the heating system, s4s5;
f. Mather Company, plumbing,
$494.21; Dauphin Electric Supply
Company, wiring, s1S5. These bids to.
tai $S,162.19 and, with the commission
of architect. c.. Howard Lloyd, make
the grand total $S,537.19.

bulbs make FAMILY ILL
Chinese Lily Roots Mistaken for Onions
and Are Put Into the Boiling
Pot for Dinner

When Hamilton Shrenk, auctioneer
at the Verbeke street market, went
there to-day for business he found a
very much excited Polish woman wait
ing for him.
At an auction sale last Wednesday
there was offered large lot of Chinese
lily bulbs which very much resemble
onions in appearance. In fact it would
take an expert to tell the difference.
The auetioneer was careful 10 explain
what they were, but his explanation
was given only in English.
The Polish woman who evidently
never had seen such bulbs before ana
who thought they were onions, made
bid for them and got them for a
triAe. What she did with them was
told this morning to the auctioneer. She
took them home and cooked them, as
she would onions, and the whole family
was made i'll for several hours. To-day
she complained to the auctioneer:
"Say, meesterl Onion no good.
Maka man sick. fMaka htta boy, litta
girl sick, too. Maka me sick. No
good"
"They were not onions," explained
the auetioneer. "What did you do
with them?"
"Taka home and cook and eat,'' said
the woman.
"Great scott, woman, said the auc-
tioneer, :" it 8 wonder the whole fam
lily wasn't poisoned.
The woman wanted her money back.

GERMAN AMERICANS BALK
At Meeting IN Canada
Karl Steward, National Secretary, An
nounces Glass Manufacturers As
sociation VIII shun Toronto for a
City in the United States

Because large number,-if not a
majority,-of the members of the So
ciety are German-Americans, it has
been decided not to hold the next an
nual convention of the National Orna-
mental Glass Manufacturers Ass0ci-
alton in Toronto, Canada, on soil of
Great Britain. That fact was an.
nounced to-day by Karl Steward, OF
this city, national secretary of the as
sociation.
Steward will leave this evening for
Chicago where next week he will meet
the president and executive officers of
the association to select place for the
meeting, which will be held in June.
1t has been suggested, he said, that
the convention be held in Grand Rap
ids, Mich.
81 cannot say that we fear our
German delegates would be made pris-
oners," said Mr.. Steward, "but it is
our desire to preserve this country IS
policy of strict neutrality. We have
taken this matter up with the Canadian
authorities and while they are sorry
for the change of the convention plans
they agree that it probably would be
the wiser move to have the meeting
somewhere in the United States

With THE FIRE APPARATUS
Police Order 9. W. Fisher to Appear
Before Mayor to Answer That Com
plaint-Smoke-ea Were Re-
spending TO False Alarm

c. w. Fisher, grocer, Fifteenth and
Berryhill streets, whose automobile
was detected racing north on Second
street at 7.30 clock last evening with
fire apparatus responding to the alarm
from box Nc. "a, Second and Harris
streets, was ordered to appear before
Mayor Royal for hearing this after
noon to answer charge of violating
the city traffic ordinance, which. pro-
hIbits interference with fire apparatus
while responding TO an alarm.
Policemen Shoemaker and Schelhas
appeared against Fisher in police court
this afternoon. The former testified
that Fisher ran his machine through
the lire apparatus grouped at Second
and Harris streets and he called Motor
cycle Policeman Schelhas, VINO followed
him and made the arrest. Both testified
that he had no light and license tag on
the rear of his ear. Fisher was dis
charged by Mayor Royal.
Before the present traffic ordinance
was in effect a fatal accident occurred
when the driver of a chemical engine
tried to avoid an automobile, and the
firemen have been asked to report all
such cases to the police.
The firemcn were responding to a
false alarm turned in from Second and
Harris streets by soms mischievous
boys. They were seen tampering with
the box, but escaped. The matter has
been placed in the hands of Chief of
Police Hutchison. Arrests are expected
to be made.

CHARGE THE doctor TRUST
HURTS BEAUTY BUSINESS
Manufacturers of Chemicals Used by
"Bleached Blondes and Persons
coaxing Perpetual Youth Resent
Attack in the Legislature

CONSERVATION is apparent among
the Pennsylvania manufacturers of
drugs for beautifying the human form,
for preserving youthful appearance
and for the preservation of hair, be-
cause of bill recently introduced in
the Senate by Senator Thompson, of
Beaver. This bill regulates the sale
of certain medicines, substances md
preparations for ''certain purposes, "
to use the language of the title, and
provides that it shall be unlawful, ex-
cept under certain conditions. to sell
any medicine or other preparation pur-
porting to restore or to preserve beau
ty, or to affect the complexion, or to
change the color of the hair, or to af-
feet the condition or health of the hair,
to to beautify any organ or part of the
human body, or to increase or decrease
the weight of the human body. The
bill is regarded as direct slap at the
bleaehed blondes.
But the bill also provides that these
preparations may be sold if the manu-
facturers paste label on the contain
er whereon shall be printed in plain
English an analysis showing the exact
quantity by weight of every ingredient
of such medicine or preparation.
The penalty for selling such prepa-
ration without its bearing the label is
a fine of not less than $500 or i'm.
prisonment for one year, or both, at the
Discretion of the court.
Patent medicine manufacturers, max.
ers of beautifers, hair dyes, hair prep.
arations of all kinds, and fat reducers
have gotten wind of this new bill, and
they are flooding the legislative mails
with protests, declaring that the bill
has been framed by "the doctor
trust whatever that is, and asking
that it be killed.
Senator Thompson, of Beaver, is the
author of the bill, and it is now in the
hands of the Committee ON judiciary
Special of the Senate, known to fame
as the "Pickling Vat" Committee.

TOCARRY0UT STEELE'S plan
Late Principal of Central High School
Was Eager to Perpetuate
Alumni Prize

Plans made by the late Prof. W. S.
Steele, principal of the Central High
school, to secure annually the $25
alumni prize to the valedictorian of
the Central High school will be carried
out by others, who were prominent in
the Alumni Association, according to
some of the schools graduates to-day
The association discontinued its an.
nual reception to the graduating class
two years ago and since that time the
annual prize has been secured by sub,
scriptions each year. Prof. Steele 4
plan was to secure from the graduates
sum of $500, which would annually
provide the prize. He had planned to
make personal canvass among the
members to get this money. There are
between $500 and 5000 graduates OF
the school.
The prize this year will be secured
as it has in the last two years, by per
sonal subscriptions of some of the mem
bers. The salutatorian gets $15 each
year, prize from the class of 1907
and should the alumni prize be discon
tinued it would leave the winner OF
first honors without recognition.

AGREE ON $3.50 A FRONT
FOOT FOR river EDGE Land
Viewers for the Property Between Har-
ris and Maclay Streets viii Rec
ommend Damages and Benefits That
Will About Offset Each Other

James D. SALESMAN. Karl Steward
and Paul G. Smith, AS viewers, are now
preparing the schedule of damage and
benefit awards incident to the City $
taking that section of the river front
between Harris and Maclay streets, ly-
ing between the low water mark of the
Susquehanna river and western Front
street curb line, and except to have it
ready for presentation to the court in
the next ten days, so it was announced
to-day.
The viewers declined to discuss their
decision, suggesting the impropriety of
making any announcement before the
schedule is placed ON file, yet it was
learned authoritatively from an unoffi-
cial source that the river front land
value has uniformly been fixed at $3.50
a foot front Damages will be allowed
to the property owners on the west side
of the street at that rate and the bene-
fits from the improvement to be as
sessed against the property owners on
the east side of the street will offset
the damages in cases where the east
side property owners also own the prop
critics to the waters edge. In cases
where they do not own the land to the
water s edge they will have actually
to pay $3.50 a foot front for the i'm
provement.
Thus the City will acquire the land,
to the river s edge, between Harris and
Maclay streets, practically without
cost; indeed, the City may make little
money on the deal.
That is due to the few instances in
which the east side property owners
do not hold title to the ground to the
waters edge and. therefore. will have
to pay cash for benefts-S150 foot
The viewers in this case also are of
fieiating in the "Hardscrabblen nego-
tiations. Their hearing yesterday, at
which witnesses said the Hardscrab-
ble' ground is worth anywhere from
S100 to $225 a foot front. was ad-
iourned last evening without a date
having been fixed for the next meet.

will be out of the city on business

fortnight and the date of the next
hearing will not be fixed until he re.
