A rear guard of the Zapatistas left
the city as General Obregon entered,
holding up street ears at the point of
rifles in order to commander the same

All commercial houses and banks

The new authorities have re-estab-
hshed order and general feeling of
confidence prevails.
1t has been established that the
shooting in the main plaza was done by
snipers, who were hidden on the roof of
the cathedral. Speaking of the incident

shots were undoubtedly directed to-

assassination. The perpetrators have not

HOLD UP Carpenters PAY
Two Directors Of the Poor Say Third
Had No Authority to Put Men
to Work at Almshouse

Carpenters or any other artisans who
may be put to work at the Dauphin
county almshouse, either without the
consent of the steward or of majority
of the members of the Board of Poor
Directors, may find themselves in dan
ger of not getting paid for their serv-
ices. That fact became known to-day
when it was learned that Thomas S.
Manning and Charles l.. Boyer, Poor
Directors, have held up the bills of two
carpenters who, Harry A. Walters, the
other director, says he personally put
to work laying a floor in the county
home.
At any rate, it is held, the earpen-
ters are charging at the rate of ten
hours day, while Steward Barber, who
disclaims any responsibility for their
employment, asserts, they were. at the
almshouse from Z clock in the morn
ing until clock in the evening, and
were served with two meals-breakfast
and dinner--at the home.
The carpenters, apparently, deducted
no time for meals, nor did they make
any cash allowance for the meals given
to them. One claims twenty cents an
hour for So hours work and. the other
wants to be paid for 10 hours at the
rate of twenty-one cents an hour.
1t was said to-day that the bills will
be cut down before the directors again
are asked to pay them. Objection also
was raised to the fact that these car
penters were given work that, it is
held, ordinarily would have been done
by the almshouse carpenter.

Potteiger in court this morning and the
judge further warned the lad that the

AUSTRIANS drive RUSSIANS
FROM THE NACYAC VALLEY

Berlin, Jan. 20, by Wireless to Say
vllle.-The most encouraging war news,
from the German viewpoint, comes from
the Carpathian region where Austrian
successes are reported to have been
achieved consistently for some time
now. The latest feat of the Austrians
is said to have been the driving of
the Russians from the Nagyag valley.
Dispatches from Vienna state that
the Russians probably will be com
PEELED soon to evacuate the Galician
city of Lemberg, which they have oc-
cupied for several months.
From all the theatres of war comes
news of freezing weather, which bids
fair to continue for some time. The
temperature in East Prussia has fallen
to IL degrees above zero. Thus far,
however, the cold weather does not ap
pear to have affected military activity.

sued early next week.
Although the company in the last six
years has given out bonuses to it,
permanent employees, the total amount
to be issued this year will exceed that
of any other year by more than s25,.
600. This is due to the fact Of the
company's increasing property and to
the fact that the total number of men
and women on the pay roll at present is
the largest in the history of the plant
totaling 1900, of whom eighty per
cent, or larger percentage than ever
before, qualify for the bonus by reason
of having been employed the required
six months.
Ezra Hershey, treasurer of the com.
pany, of which NJ. S. Hershey, pro-
moter of the great Hershey co-opera-
tive community, is head, said this morn
ing that the business was never so pros.
porous as in the last year. There are
now on the pay roll $50 more employees
than ever before. While in the last
four years the bonus was 20 per cent.
as this year, there never before has
been a time when so high as 80 per
cent. of the employees has qualified for
the cash gifts through length of service.
in the first two years the bonus was
10 per cent
Employees Rejoice at News
The idea of the bonus is to permit
the employees to share in the prosper
ity of the. company" said Ezra Her
shey, 'and to offer an inducement for
competent employees to remain perma-
nently with US. The only reason that
the six months service provision is
made is so that no person can take
advantage of us by seeking employ
ment just for the sake of getting the
bonus and leaving us after the bonus
is paid.
Some idea of the prosperity the Her
shey plant is enjoying may be cleaned
from the statement of Mr.. Hershey that
in 1914 an average of fifteen cars a
day of manufactured products was
shipped out of the plant. This is far
in excess of the daily average of any
other year. The greatest output for any
one day in 1914 was twenty-eight
cars, which is the record for the plant.
During the year just closed $780,
900 was spent on new building Fl the
