PLUM TREES"
SHAKEN TO-DAY
After the First Lively Clash in the
Present Legislative Session the
House Adjourns to Meet on the
Evening of Next Monday

When the shaking of the ''plum
tree" was over in the House this morn
ing, Representative "Billn Adams, of
Luzerne county, started movement
against the report of the Slate Com
mittee by bringing on contest for the
position of Reading Clerk. G. J. F.
Falkenstein. of Allegheny county, had
been endorsed by the Slate Committee
for the place but Adams wished to have
the name of David j. Davies, of Allie
gheny, submitted.
Chairman Woodward, of the Slate
Committee, stated that % of 81 mem
bers of the committee had signed the
report and that the reason Mr.. Davies
name was not considered favorably was
that he was secretary of the Allegheny
county Washington Party committee
during the last campaign. Mr.. Wood
ward stated 'this is Republican
slate. -
Representative Adams asked for the
election of Mr.. Davies, who held the po-
Sition in the last session of the Legis-
lature, and said that although il had
been stated that Mr.. Davies served rs
secretary of the Washington Party COM
mittee it was because he was out of a
lob and that il did not have any po-
litical significance as Mr.. Davies was a
good Republican,, Mr.. Falkenstein
was elected by the House by vote of
1873 to So.
The session opened with prayer by
Representative Bungard, of Westmore-
/ land county, and then Speaker Ambler
announced the standing committees of
the House for the session.
After the committees had been an

and took refuge in the Easements.
Troops Assist the Police

Troops were turned out to assist the
police in the search for wounded. An
other air craft appeared here soon
after midnight, but dropped no bombs.
The chief constable of Yarmouth, in
telling of the raid, said;
''The people stood the raid very
well. About 400 special eonstahles
were called out. All Red Cross and
hospital arrangements proved perfect,
All lights were exunguished and public
performances at the theatres and music
halls were abandoned. The people
went home and the town was without
light until morning.
Where Greatest Damage Was Done
The first air raider passed along the
sea front and dropped the first bomb
into Norfolk Square garden, close by
the beach, and the Brittania pier. This
did no damage. The raider then pro-
eeeded in southwesterly direction
across town and when near the center
dropped several bombs in the neighhor-
hood of st, Peters road, the main

grounds. 1t was here tlat the greatest

LATE WAR news SUMMARY

a German airship raid on English
east coast towns last night resulted in
four or five deaths, the injury of sew
eral persons and damage to property.
So far as is known, the Germans who
performed this spectacular feat escaped
unscathed. Earlier reports that one
Zeppelin was brought down have not
been borne out. It has not yet been
established whether aeroplanes or Yep
pelins were employed by the raiders.
An official Russian statement to-day
describes a series of actions along the
Vistula northwest of Warsaw during
January IL and Is. In three of these
engagements, it is SAID, the Russians
won the advantage, twice silencing
German batteries and on another occa-
sion repulsing an attack with heavy
loss to the Germans.
Two victories over the British forces
operating near the head of the Persian
gulf are claimed by the Turkish War
Office in a statement issued at Constan-
attempted a surprise attack on the
Turks, but were requlsed with the loss
of 100 killed and wounded. In a cav
airy engagement near the junction of
the Tigris and Euphrates rivers the
British are reported to have withdrawn
after heavy losses.
In Alsace, where the allies were
making progress until checked recently
by the arrival of German reinforce
ments, they now apparently are on the
defensive. The official statement from
Berlin to-day says the Germans have
captured the town of Airzstein, north
of Sennheim. A further advance in
the Argonne also is reported. but this
| is disputed in the French statement.
which asserts that the allies, although
compelled to evacuate certain positions,
later recaptured them. Elsewhere along
the western front only minor actions,
principally artillery engagements, oc-

RUSSIANS SILENCE GERMAN
ARTILLERY FIRE At KONOPKI

Petrogrsd, Jan. 20.-An official com.
munieation issued by the general staff
OF the Russian army indicates eonsid-
ersble activity and fighting on the
right bank of the lower Nistula.. The
statement follows:
During the 17th and 18th OF Jan
uary, on the right bank of the lower
Vistula, upon the front running from
the river 10 the railroad from Warsaw
to MIAwla, a portion OF our troops, hav-
ing come in close contact with the
enemy, had series of collisions of
secondary Importance.
Fighting Of more grave eharae-
ter, though having the nature OF seEt
arate actions, took place in the village
of Konopki, where the heavy artillery
with which the enemy bombarded rs
was sileneed by the fire Of our batter
les, and near Bodzanow and Bejounia,
opposite which the enemy occupied well
organized defensive positions. Heavy
fighting also occurred near Dobrzyn,
where an offensive attempt OF the Ger.
mans was blocked and the enemy was
driven back sustaining grave losses.
During the day of January II, the
enemy bombaried from his positions
on the west bank of the Vistula our
lines near Wyszogroi, but our fire, di-
rected upon his front and flank, silenc-
ed the German artillery.
"On January IS the Germans vio-
lently esnnonaed the village of Wit.

London, Jan. 20.-German airmen
delivered their long predicted attack on
England last night. From base pre-
sumab oily in Germany they flew over the
North sea TO the eastern coast of Eng
land. where for nearly four hours they
eireled over a group OF some six Eng
li>h towns only little more than 100
miles from London, apparently drop,
ping bombs at viii.
Whether these airships were Zeppe-
lin. dirigible balloons or aeroplanes has
NOT yet been definitely established.
There is increasing belief in London
this morning that possibly only aero
planes took part in the attack. There
has been no news so far to-day to con-
firm the report current last night that
a Zeppelin had been brought down on
the English coast. On the contrary. it
now appears as though all the German
raiders have returned whence they
came The most important towns over

ham. Hunstanton. Cromer, Heacham,
Dersingham and Kings Lynn. King
George had left Sandrlnghsm only a
few hours before the Germans visited
it.
Most of the damage appears to have
been inflicted upon private houses and
shops; few public buildings or docks
seem to have been injured.
The raiding airmen showed excellent
ability to pilot their vessels, as well as
good craftsmanship. In spite OF the
darkness Of the night, they seemed to
find their way over the country with
remarkable directness, and the accuracy
of tneis aim with bombs was greater
than generally had been believed pos,
sibIe.
Among those killed Is one soldier
The property damage does not exceed
few thousand dollars. \ shoemaker
and woman were killed at Yarmouth
and civilian and the soldier lost their
lives at Kings Lynn.
The police reports from the towns
upon which bombs were thrown say
thar the public responded very well to
the raid instructions recently made
public. For the most part the people
took refuge in their cellars. Several
theatres We're emptied quietly.
An unexploded bomb found in Var
mouth weighed six pounds and is cone
shaped.
Comment of the British press on
the airship attack is bitter in tone

the Germans in the same unmeasured
language as at the time of the Hartle
pool naval raid The event is being
used as text for editorials urging
more rapid recruiting.

says it is generally believed there that
the raiders of last night came in aero
planes of large size.
