Officials Deny Reports
That Men Are Needed

Middle division Pennsylvania off,
cials, including Road Foreman of En-
gines L. c. Clemson and an official of
the freight trainmaster's office who
were in Harrisburg Saturday said re-
ports of large numbers of men being
re-employed on the division and in the
yards. indicating a big increase in the
freight business. were much exagger-
ated.
Orders have been issued for the en-
ployment of sixteen firemen in the AL
toona yards, men previously fur
loughed being taken back. No engine
men or f1remen however, are being
taken back on the road crews, and
the taking back of the sixteen in the
yard is partly due to a slight increase
in traffic and largely due to the fact
that, with the hunting season COM
ing on. many of the regular men want
their vacations and men have to be
provided to fill their places while they
are off.
Among the trainmen on the Middle
division five men have been re-em-
ployed at Altoona and five at Harris
burg, these being the only increases.
The sixteen firemen re-employed in
the yards are out of a total of 135
laid off during the depression.

Testimony Is Taken
Behind Closed Doors
BY AsSoeidted PreyS

Denver, Col. Aug. 30.-The military
court of inquiry appointed by Gov
ernor Carlson to investigate charges
against Adjutant General John Chase
and other officers of the National
Guard of Colorado resumed taking of
testimony behind closed doors to-day
The appointment of the court was
the result of charges against the ad-
iutant general and other officers of
the militia, growing largely out of the
military administration during the
strike of coal miners. Saturday night
the court of inquiry seized in a de-
tective agency's office letters which,
according to members of the court,
indicated that the agency had been
employed by the United Mine Work
ers of America to discourage enlist
ments in the National Guard and for
other secret purposes connected with
the prosecutions growing out of the
coal strike. Officers of the United
Mine Workers denied they had en-
ployed detectives to prevent militia
enlistments.

Big Gold Shipment Has

New York, Aug. 30.-Forty- tons
of gold. worth nearly $40, 100000, and
securities valued closed to S25. 200, 900
were in the vaults of the United States
subtreasury here to-day to help pay
for Great Britain's huge purchases of
war munitions. The gold and securi-
ties arrived yesterday from London
Wit Halifax, consigned to j. P. Nor
gan & Co. purchasing agent for the
British government.
The gold was American gold which
has been shipped to England in years
of trade Indebtedness by this country
to England and the securities were all
American issues. This shipment, it is
estimated, brings the grand total of
gold and collateral sent here up to
SIZE, 100000 since the beginning of
the war.
The shipment of gold and securities
produced virtually no effect whatever
to-day on foreign exchange rates.
Pounds sterling were quoted at $4.62,

Miss Violet Asquith, daughter of
the premier of Great Britain, The
Woman With the Serpent's Tongue, !"
has just announced her engagement
to Maurice Bonham Carter, Sec
retary to her father. And it is be-
ding Will be an important function.
When William Watson wrote his
poem The Woman With the Ser
pent's Tongue" six years ago, it did
not take persons familiar with Lon
don society long to determine he had
in mind Mrs. Asquith and her step
daughter. But the poet would not
admit 1t until he visited the United
States shortly after the publication
of the poem. Then he wrote this for
a newspaper:
"'The Woman With the Serpent's S
Tongue is a composite photograph
of Mrs. Asquith and her step
daughter. Violet. The poem is a
portrait of the physical character
istics of Mrs. Asquith and the men,
tality of Violet Asquith. The latter
them all. Violet is the real official
voice speaking with authority"
The first stanza of the poem is as
follows:
She is not old, she is not young,
The woman with the serpent's tongue,
The haggard cheek, the hungering eye,
The poisoned words that wildly fly,
The famished face, the fevered hand
Who Sights the worthiest in the land,
Sneers at the just, contemns the brave,
And blackens goodness in it's grave.
Many explanations of the poets
purpose in writing this have been
offered. None were wholly accept
able to those he shocked.

THIEVES PASS UP
PENNIES FOR SILVER
Take SIS in Change From Home of
County Controller, but Don't
Disturb COppers

Thieves who entered and ransacked
the home of County Controller Henry
w. Cough, 14O1 South Cameron street,
sometime between Friday morning
and last evening, didn't care for mere
pennies.
Four or five dollars in silver was
carefully purloined-and 1874 pennies
were just as carefully left behind.
The controller reached home from
his Erie trip, Friday and joined his
wife, daughter, Mary and sons, Bailey
and Edwin, on weekend trip to
Atlantic City. They returned last
night to find the front door locked as
usual, the rear screen door of the
kitchen open and the rear kitchen
door closed but unlocked. Which led
the controller to suspect that the en-
trance had been made with a skeleton
key. Bureau drawers and cupboards
all over the house had been turned
topsey turvey and a Colts revolver
which had been taken from its place
in Edwin Coughs room had been
carefully taken apart and hidden be-
meath rug. Watches and other
Jewelry were not touched. The burg
lars confined their attention solely 20
the savings banks and-the Sunday
school collection.
From small bank belonging to
thIs' bouBn, tne ulnes, nlCKelS, quar-
ters and half dollars were taken-and
ninety cents in pennies was left.
dime bank containing S1.10 in the
| boys room was broken and robbed
And when Mr.. Cough, who as treas
urer of the Calvary Presbyterian Sun
| day school looked to see what had
been done with the $3.02 of Sunday
collection, he discovered that $2.60
in nickels, dimes, quarters and other
silver had been stolen-and forty two
pennies were left in the envelope.
