When George Chip told us that his
true name was George Chipulonis it
didn't require any forty-centimetre
telescope To discover the reason for
the present state OF the family tag.
Chip is obviously clipped from
Chipulonis-a good old Lithuanian
name. George. however, was bonn in
Scranton. Pa. and should be- called a
Scrantonian.
Since Aug. IS. lssS. the young

"Phil," OF Palisade?

Mount Holly, N. j., Tuesday
George Hoehm, head barber at the
Washington Tonsorial Emporium, of
Mount Holly, was reading a news
paper today during lull in the chin
traffic when the doors tapped, a
stranger entered and asked Georges
name. George admitted it and the
stranger producing a card to show
that he was an attorney from New
York, informed him that he is to re-
ceive $4,000 under the will of Francis
E. Miller, who died in New York
eight months ago. 1t was lucky that
George was not shaving any one.
According to the Attorney his firm
has devoted months to an effort at
finding a trace of the tonsorial be-
neficiary, but though they followed a
trail of nicked chins all over the
East they were constantly dissapolnt-
ed and did not learn until yesterday
that barber of that name was in
Mount Holly.

j. City Comeon
Loses $1,195 In A
Very Simple Trick

The police of the City Hall Sta

two film Hammers who relieved An
drew Sysak, of 102 Morris street
Jersey City, of $1,195, and sent him
home with a leather wallet filled
with old newspaper.
He had been standing at Morris
and Washington streets, when the
pair approached. Having seen then
in the neighborhood quite frequently
he knew them by sight. One asked
Sysak if he wanted to earn 5000
Naturally he was willing, and asked
what would be required of him
He was told that if he would give
the directions to search the office OF
certain brick manufacturing con-
Germ the money was his. He gave
the necessary directions.
The older of the two men took q
large leather wallet from his pocket
opened it and showed Sysak that the
5000 was within. Then the men pro-
ceeded to demonstrate the catch
which locked the wallet. He asked
Syask if he had any money and told
him that no one could open the re-
ceptacle unless they were told the
secret of the catch lock.
Sysak took a roll of bills amount
ing to $3.50 from his pocket and
placed it in the wallet, saying that
he had some money in the Provident
Institution for Savings and more in
the Postoffice Savings Bank. The
men advised him to get it and keep
it with the other money in the wallet
Thinking we'll of the idea he invited
them to accompany him to the banks
He took $S45 from the Provident In
stitution and 5000 from the Post
office bank.
Unable to open the wallet catch
he asked the men to show him how
They took his money and while he
watched, fumbled with the lock, then
opened the wallet and apparently de
posted the money within. Then they
bid him goodbye.
Sysak went home. After some
difficulty he opened the lock on the
wallet and found only roll of paper

Wants Borough Electric Plant
A proposition was placed before
the council by Mr.. Saab, of New
York, concerning the establishment
of an electric light plant in the bor-
ough, which could furnish the Dor
ough its lighting system at much
less expense than it is now being
served by the Public Service. The
plant is to be built and operated by
a company. Judge Seufert stated
that the council could take no i'm
mediate action upon the matter, be-
cause it would first have to be taken
up by the G commission of Public
Utilities. The council was favorable
to Mr.. Saab's proposition and will be
able to give it more critical atten-
ton when the Utilities Commission
has handed down it's decision on the
subject.

Submarines Will
 Be Closely Watched

QUINCYi Mass, Sept. 5.-There will be no more submarines leave American shores and take long trips across the Atlantic as has been al legged by a New York paper, for the American government has taken steps to see that nothing more of the sort occurs Officers have now been detailed to take into account the movements of submarines on American shores, a number of them having already reached this city to take up their duties at the navy yard here.
 The government does not object to having submarines built in this coun try for the warning nations of Eu rope. but it does object to having them leave the United States dur ing the war For that reason re- sponsible officers have now been posted at all navy yards with in structions to see that no submarine, no matter for what nation, leaves the yards without permission.

LONDON. Sept. 5.-Reports re- ceived here today indicate that one of the fiercest battles of the present war on the Eastern front is now being fought along the river Dvina between the Russians and forces of Field Marshal Von Hindenberg. The battle is for the possession of tho heights which crown the eastern bank of the Dvina and, although the Germans must cross the river before they will be able to storm the heights, it is feared that the Rus sianS will again retreat before they receive help, as the artillery fire of the Germans is said to be some- thing terrific,
 At the present time the Germans hold two of the bridge heads on the western bank of the Dvina and they are trying to secure the re- mainder of the crossings It is conceded here that if they are en- abled to cross. the city of Riga is doomed Tie forces of Non Hin denberg operating to the west of Riga are also threatening that city.

Cooks and Walters
 Must Be Healthy
THEY MUST ALL NOW SECURE HEALTH CERTIFICATES
 IN NEW YORK;

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-In an order issued last evening and spread broadcast about the city within an hours time, the city health board decrees that all of the cooks and walters work ing in the restaurants of this city must secure health certifi- cates without delay, Not only that but from this time forth they must secure them annually.
 Shortly after the order was is sued, all of the walters and cooks of the city were notified by health board agents or through the newspapers. They were instructed to show up for examination before the health board at a date not later than Monday, and a large number of them put in an appearance last night The cost to the recipi- ent of the health certificate is very small. and the majority of the culinary and catering artists therefore have but little objec- tion to the passage of such measure by the health board
 It is understood that the mea- sure was adopted at the request of number of the restaurant men of the city, who state that they are being overridden by the walters union. They say that the walters dictate all terms to them and as consequence appear for work in any condition they see fit. The restaurant men intended by their request that the walters be compelled to wear some sort of uniform
 cn working.

Negro Pays Penalty
 For lndulging Lust
COlOReO MAN LYNCHEO IN THE SOUTH FOR RAPE OF
 WHITE GIRL.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Sept. 5. Another of the unlawful acts which have terrorized this sec tion of the country in the past was perpetrated near here last night when Nose Gum a negro, was lynched by a mob of infuri- ated citizens of this city and the surrounding country. The req son for the lynching was that the negro was accused of the rape of Madge Gilmer a white girl 15 years of age.
 The crime is said to have been committed in one of the railroad yards in the outskirts of the city yesterday afternoon, or in broad daylight. Yesterday evening as some of the railroad men were returning from their work, they discovered the girl in box car in a practically un- conscious state. She was re- vived, however, sufficiently to disclose the identity of the man who had outraged her, and an immediate pursuit was organized
 When found the colored man denied all knowledge of the crime. His captors, however, took him to the home of the girl and she positively identified him.
 The sheriff of the county was not notified that crime had been committed until it was all over. It is understood that there will be an investigation of the con- ditions surrounding the occur renee

Will Try to Amend
 The Seaman s Bill

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. D. John w. Weeks, senator from Massa. chusetts and a probable candidate for the presidency of the United States, in an interview here today, stated that he will join the ranks of the opposers of the passage of the Seaman's bill at the next session of congress. He says that he will not oppose the passage of the bill itself providing some of it's mea. ures, which he thinks are restric- tions to American commerce, are eliminated and to that end he will pro- pose that several important amend ments be made to the bill.
 The Seaman's bill has been up before congress for the past sev- eral years and has been the cause of many hot debates in the legisla, tive halls at the capital. Part ot
