The CHAUTAUQUA.

The past week devoted to the Chsu-
tauqus has proven itself one of the
most enjoyable and entertaining Of the
year. Both from socia! and an edu-
dationsl standpoint the Lancaster
Chautauqus has bsep all that could be
desired. Speakers of national promi-
hence and entertainers Of wide reputa-
ton have been brought to our city. and
our people have been given an oppor-
tunity to see, for u reasonable admis-
sion. the best that the country affords.
The Chsutauqua is our opportunity
TO prove our interest in the cultural
welfare of out section. As to the pro-
gram this year, the advertising columns
Of the RECORD gave full account of
it. and we believe it was fully up to the
standard of last year. and all that was
advertised.
While all the attaches Of the Redpsth
Chautsuqua were gentlemen in every
sense of the word. the company is n
deed fortunate in having for its super
intendent. Mr.. Z. I. Bailey, who made
friends of every one during his stay in
Lancaster, aud now since the Chau-
tauqua is to be with US again next
year. we trust they may see fit to have
him with US again.
Mother Lakes plea for sobriety, right
living and fair dealings was one of the
most popular lectures op the program.
The Kellogg-Haines Singing party
was all it was advertised and more. 1t
is a most excellent quartet. and every
number from the grand opera Martha,
to comic light opera was greeted with
applause.
DR.. Colledge and Adam Bede gave
lectures. the deep thought of which
will linger with US long after the won
derful music of Cimera's concert bsnd
is forgotten. even tho it was grand.
We have not space to speak of all
other than to say there were no dis
appointments.

HOLDS NO HOPE
FOR EARLY PEACE

President Wilson does not see any
prospect for an early peace in Europe.
Col. Z. NJ. House. his close friend
and unofficial envoy to Europe, gave
the President the results Of his soiourn
Of several months in the principal capt.
tails of Europe, where he talked intim-
ately with the responsible officials OF
the German, British and French gov
ernments, and the information he i'm
parted in the long walks and talks
which they enjoyed yesterday reflected
definitely the IDEAS held by both diplo-
matists and the military element in
each of the countries at war. He also
disclosed the various beliefs and cui
rents Of public opinion in each country
as 10 what might be the possible terms
of peace. snd>the trend Of public opin'
ion toward the different peace propos'
ais that have been brought forward
from time to time in informal discus
sions by the press and peace organize
tons.
The President has been guided large
ly by what Col. House has reported Il
him by cable and letters in handling the
delicate question Of rsnewing the ef
forts of the United States to brinl
about general acceptance OF media
tlen.

CHAUTAUQUA
SIGNED FOR ANOTHER YEAR.
Lets Make Ii An Annual Affair.

That the people of Lancaster are
pleased with the Redpath Chautauquas
Is evidenced by the fact that they are
to be with US another year. The en-
thusiasm exhibited points strongly to
its becoming an annual affair. No
sooner had the management begun
taking the sense of the people as to
their wish for its return. when the
guarantors to the number of fifty two
came forward and signed up for another
year, and in few moments about $50
season tickets were sold for next year.
We are glad to announce this and hope
1t may become permanent.

POLAND |S WORSE
 OFF THAN BELGIUM
Red Cross and German Comittee Are Raising Funds To Aid War
 Stricken People.

THE HAGUE. Feb. 9.-The Ger. man and American relief comm 'ttees have united to aid the people of war stricken Poland. The Red Cross and German committees raised 85.000 in one day, most of the funds coming from America and wealthy German residents of this city.
 It is declared that the work of pro- viding relief for the destitute inhabi- tants of the war zone in Poland Is fully as important as that of Belgium.
 Representatives of the Rockefeller Foundation which have visited the parts of Russian Poland now under German control state that conditions are most distressing and if possible are worse than in Belgium.
 The armies of Russia and Germany which have overrun Poland have stripped the country of every pound of grain which could be secured for their horses. The troops have also slaughtered the stock of the farmers for food leaving the resident civil fans in a most pitiable and starving condition.

He was immedi. ately followed by other Republican senators who have adopted the plan of talking the measure to death or forcing President Wilson to call a special session of the new congress.
 The Republicans believe that should President Wilson be forced to call another special session that it will be argument for the defeat of the administration at the next election. Floor Leader Underwood has declar- ed that while special session may be necessary to pass the shipping bill through the Senate he believes spe- cial senate is the last thing which the American people want.

STORM SWEEPS
 OREGON COAST
Jetty At Mouth of Columbia River Is Swept Away-cost $2,ooo.
 GOO To Build.

ASTORIA, Feb. 9.-A terrific storm has been raging along the coast dur ing the past twenty-four hours and has wrought havoc with the jetty at the mouth of the Columbia river. The storm reached its height last night and swept away one mile of the jetty which cost the state and federal gov ernment $2,000.000 to construct.
 The destruction of the breakwater will prove a serious handicap to the shipping interests of Portland. as it was only through its effects that large steamers were enabled to get over the bar at the mouth of the river.
 Shipping men fear that when the result of the storm is fully known 1t will be found that the toll of life has been heavy. Old seafaring men assert that the storm was the worst they have ever experienced and ex. press doubt of any small vessel be- ing able to weather the storm.

BANDITS WORKING

 5OO.0O-No Clue.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 9.-A dar. ing holdup took place here last night which netted the robbers more than $1,5OO in cash while hundreds of per. sons were passing within few feet of the place where the robbery was being committed.
 At an early hour in the evening three masked men entered the bar room of one of the downtown ho' tels and at the point of revolvers rob- bed the patrons of the place, took the cash from the till and made their es- cape before warning could be given. The bar room opens on one of the principal streets of the city where hundreds of persons pass every min- ute of the day. The robbers after entering from the street locked the door and proceeded in business-like way to gather up the cash and dia- monds of their victims.
 The hold.up has caused excitement throughout the city, as it is believed that a gang of bandits have made the city their headquarters with the ob- ject of working the downtown ho. tels where wealthy visitors to the ex. position are to be found. The DO. lice have been unable to secure any clue leading to the identity of the bandits.

Grand Trunk was making unfair re- auctions in freight rates and that the Dominion government was offering special inducements to Alaska fisher men to market tl cir catches in the Canadian city.
 The report of E. Lester Jones. U. S.. deputy commissioner of fisheries for Alaska. sounded the warning that there was grave danger of the Ca nadian interests capturing the Alaska halibut and salmon business to the loss of Puget Sound and Ketchikan dealers. He asserted that fish caught in Alaska, north of Wrangell, were being shipped from Prince Rupert at greatly reduced figure when con- pared with the Seattle charges. There was a difference of $3 per ton in favor of the former in the mat ter of freight charges, which he de- clared would have to be overcome or the loss of millions of dollars in com merce annually would result to Seat tie.
 The western delegation have asked that a tax of 1 per cent. be placed upon the importation of fresh fish and that the bonding privileges ex- tended to Canadian railroads, permit ting fish to be sent across Canada from the Pacific coast to the New England states in bond, be rescind- ed,

SERVING TIME F0R
 HIGH FINANCE
SwindIers Work Manufacturers for Nearly Million Dollars Worth
 of Stocks.

ST. LOUIS, Feb 9.-Ten men were today sentenced to pay fines of $1,- 900 each and serve one year in jail. The conviction of the men brings to a close one of the strangest cases of high finance which has ever been at' tempted in America.
 Several months ago they establish. ed a chain of mercantile stores and professed to have capitalization of $1,000,000 paid up. They bought large stocks on credit which they sec. retly transshipped from one store to another to obtain further credits.
 Having established their credit they secured an enormous amount of stock from wholesale houses which they immediately jobbed off for less than fifty per cent. of the wholesale cost. The leaders in the game were preparing to make a hasty departure from the country with their gains when one of their creditors began suit. causing their arrest.
 Investigation of the business of the chain of stores reveals the fact that the company Is possessed of no as- sets whatever, but had liabilities of nearly $1,000.000. Scores of persons were victinized by the nervy swlnd- lers who had been able to deceive the credit men of the big mercantile houses and manufacturers.

ANT|-AL|EN LABOR
 LAW |S PASSED
Arizona State Legislature Endeavor. ing To Protect Whites Against
 Mexicans.

PHOENIX, Ariz., Feb. 9.-The state legislature yesterday passed another anti-alien labor law. The new meas. ure is greatly modified from the bill recently passed but which was de- clared by the courts as unconstitu- tional. It is believed the present measure was prepared with the assist ance of the district attorneys office and will stand the test through the courts.
 The measure is regarded as neces. sary in this state to protect the white laboring element. The state has been overrun by cheap Mexican labor since the war in the southern repub- lie. The Mexicans work for very small wages, expecting to remain in the country only until peace has been restored in their native land. Railroad laborers have been espec. ially hard hit by the influx of Mexi- cans. The new measure provides that the percentage of foreign laborers em. ployed shall not be greater than ' per cent. in any factory or contract work. The railroads have employed Mexicans almost exclusively in their track work, and it is from that source that the opposition to the first meas. ure came.
