A boathouse, with it's contents, was
consumed by fire at $50 last night,
when d gasoline stove exploded. The
boathouse was moored at the foot of
Twenty-seventh street. e. A. Reese, the
owner and sole OCCUPANT, was preparing
supper at the time He had gone to the
other end of the room when the gaso-
line stove exploded without warning,
throwing the burning fluid in all direc-
lions. Seeing that he would be unable
to combat the flames alone, Reese
rushed to the nearest box and turned
in a call to the department.
When the fremen arrived on the
scene the entire boathouse was ablaze.
AS there is no fire plugs in the i'm
mediate vicinity the iremen had to
content themselves with throwing
snow on the burning shack. saving
boats nearby in the same manner.
When the fire was at its height the
heat was intense. melting all the ice
about the boat. Reese places his loss
at $500. No insurance was carried.
What caused the gasoline stove to ex-
plode is still a mystery.
The flames lit up the entire river
front at this point and many thought

MOOSE LODGE feeds MANY
Sauerkraut, Pork and Mashed Potatoes
Given Fifty Families ON Recommen-
dation of Associated Charities

Fifty families of destitute circum
stances, ranging from four to fifteen
members in family, received their din
ner to-day at the Loyal Order of Moose
Home, Third and Boas streets. The
families were recommended by the AS
sociated Charities, and came from
every section of the city, with bucket,
holding from two quarts to two gal
Ions, which were filled with sauerkraut,
mashed potatoes and pork
This was one of the many treats Civ
ing annually by the Moose lodge. On
this occasion, 35 gallons of sauerkraut,
2 1,2 bushel of potatoes, so pounds of
pork and 200 loaves of bread were Civ
en- away. Each person, in the majority
of cases children, were given an
amount proportionally to the number of
members of the family. From one to
three loaves of bread were also given a
family. tH
A similar event to be held in the
near future is now being planned by the
lodge, at which time soups of various
kinds will be served. Persons to re-
ceive the food at this time will be rec
commended by the Associated Charities.

Jury inquiry in New York of alleged

European war. W
Heavy Penalty for Violation
The resolution empowers the Presi-
dent to direct customs collectors to
withhold clearance from any vessel of

which the President believes to be
"about to carry fuel, aims, ammuni-

ment of two years, or both, and for
feiture of the vessel would be imposed.
The President is empowered to use the

ern Poland, by the Russians, but assert
the Russians suffered so severely during
the attack that they were unable to de-
s1st further the orderly retreat of the
Germans. This account is at variance
with Russian reports of few DAYS
ago which stated that the German re-
treat was the most disorderly and pre-
cipitated Of any in that area of mill
tary activities. The German statement
says, however, that large numbers of
wounded were left behind in neighbor-
ing villages.
The French War Office has given
a more definite idea of the extent of
the battle now in progress in Cham
payne. The attacking front is about
four miles in length, and it is asserted
that the allies now hold German posi-
tions to the depth of about two-thirds
of mile.
The official German statement of to-
day says that the French attacks in this
region were repulsed easily. The
French statement asserts that violent
assaults by the Germans were defeated.
North of Arras, near the Belgian
border, the Germans captured positions
of the allies, which they say were near
ly mile in extent. Russian attacks
near the Prussian border are said by
the Germans to have failed The Ger.
man efforts to capture Ossowetz have
resulted in violent battle, with no de-
cision yet in sight.

finds SAMPLES OF CREAM
ARE below THE STANDARD
City Health Department Says That
Some Of the Local Dealers Are Liza

Violation Of Law

Eleven of the thirty dairymen dis
tributing milk and cream in Harrisburg
are liable to prosecution on charges OF
violating the health laws, says report
of the City Health Bureau to-day.
based on tests by the City Bacteriolo-
gist of cream samples obtained from the
dealers indicating the samples were be-
low the standard.
The City and State Health Bureaus
have laid down a rule that cream must
contain at least eighteen per cent. but
ter fat, and one test made in Lebanon
indicated, the report shows, that one
sample of cream contained but five per
cent. No fewer than twenty-seven
samples were found to be below the
standard. Many of those, however,
failed to come within the requirements
only by small margin.
DIR. John NJ j. Raunick, the City
Health Officer, said he is not prepared
to announce when he will proceed
against the dairymcn, if legal action is
decided upon.
The city milk standard REQUIRES all
milk to contain at least 3.2S per cent.
of butter fat, specific gravity at least
1.02S, not to contain more than 500,-
600 bacteria per cubic centimeter and
no colon bacilli or other disease-pro-
ducing bacteria. The standard for
pasteurized milk is that such milk con.

FRANCO british PROPOSAL

Paris, March 4, sos A. M.-The
quiet and dignifed manner in which the
American press and public received the
>franco-British declaration of proposed
naval reprisals against Germany has
made strong impression in France.
Writers in the leading newspapers point
out that nation so devoted to business
interests as the United States scarcely
could be expected to remain unmoved
at the proposal of closing the sea routes
to country with which it does an an
nual business of $500,000,000.
"We can prevent loss to neutrals,
says the 'fMating' by purchasing inter
cepted cargoes of which we desire to
deprive Germany. We should perhaps
lose on these purchases which we neith
er could use nor resell until later but
the loss would be mere drop in the
ocean of enormous war expense and
very little in comparison to the extra
blood it would have been necessary to
shed for having neglected this neces-
sary means to hasten the enemy s
eapitulation by economic strangula-
ton
Professor Charles Riehet, writing in
the Figaro declares that while the
Germans contend the allies blockade is
barbarous and contrary to international
law, blockade carried out by
French feet prevented British admirals
from revietualing General CORVALLIS.
thus forcing him to capitulatesat York
town in the American revolutionary
war. Prof. Riehet says no historian has
ever pretended this was disloyal act
and ''we should be greatly surprised if
the Americans 1915 condemned. pro-
ceeding which permitted General Wash
ington in 1871 to win American inde-

CONGRESS- WORK PRAISED
BY WILSON IN Statement

Washington, March 4.-After his re.
turn to the White House President Will
son dictated the following statement
about Congress and its work.
9 A great Congress has closed its
sessions. Its work will prove the pur-
pose and quality of its craftsmanship
more and more, the longer it is tested.
Business has now a time of calm and
thoughtful adjustment before it, dis
turbed only by the European war. The
circumstances created by the war put
the nation to a special test, test of its
true character and of its self f-control.
1.-The constant thought of every
patriotic man should now be for the
country, its place, its order, its just and
tempered judgment in the face of per-
picking difficulties. It's dignity and its
strength alike will appear not only in
the revival of its business, DESPITE
abnormal conditions, but also in its
power to think, to purpose and to act
with patience, with disinterested fair
ness and without excitement in a sp.rr,
of friendliness and enlightenment
which will firmly establish its influence
throughout the world.''

thorities on Great Britain. The latter
part of October, .1914. she was seized
by British warships off the coast O.;
Scotland and taken into Stornoway. At
this time she was on her way from New
York to Asrhuus with a cargo Of illu,
minating oil. The United States form
ally protested against ~r detention,
and she was released in November.
New York, March 4.-The Standard
Oil Company of New jersey announced

saying that its tank steamer Platuria,
detained at Kirkwall, Scotland, by the
British admiralty, had been released

tion.
