DETECTIVE IBACH
LOST AN HOUR
Red Lights Flash necessarily
For Sleuth Who Disappeared
From Motorcycle
DROPPED IN TRAFFIC MAZE
Decided His Life Was Worth
More Than Nickel and
Took Trolley
DROPPED IN TRAFFIC MAZE

{ Joseph Ibach, city detective, this
morning was lost for one hour and
the loss caused sixty minutes of
Worry at the police station and the
nashing of red lights all over the city.
The last man to converse with Detec-
tive Ibach was George Fetrow, motor
cycle officer.
The sleuth, with Patrolman Fet-
row, started on a motorcycle for the
upper end of the city. The Bertilion
expert was on the rear seat. A, mixup
of automobiles and other vehicles in
Market street, near the police station,
made a zigzag course necessary for
the motorcycle.
Front street was reached in safety
and the motorcycle had crossed Wal
nut street when Fetrow missed Ibach.
The police department was notified,
and the search started for the miss
ing officer. One hour passed and then
came a call from uptown.
why are the red lights on?" asked
Ibach himself.
For you, where have you been ?"
came the answer from Charles Fleck,
desk officer "Patrolmen are hunting
you in hooks and corners all over
town"
II did not want to take chances
diving through traffic congestion on
motorcycle. My life's worth more
than a nickel carfare so 1 took the
trolley uptown"
The red lights were eXtinguished.

State Fire Marshal J. l.. Baldwin
has just received word of the success
full result of the first trial of a charge
brought against a property owner for
failing to remove a fire hazard. The
case was brought by Marshal Baldwin
through the Attorney Generals de-
partment against John w. Keast, of
New Castle. Keast having failed to re-
move dilapidated building at ELL
wood City which had been declared a
danger to the community by Deputy
Marshal Frank McKim. The building
was declared by witnesses to be. q
menace to other buildings and because
of Keast's refusal TO act he was fined
$50 and costs.
Marshal Baldwin says that there will
be many more cases just like the Ell
wood City matter, as he will insist on
a cleanup, although not desiring to
be hard on property owners who try
to abate fire traps.

dispatch. report received on We'd
nesday that Veles had fallen into
French hands was the next day shown
to be unfounded.
On the French front, Paris reports
spirited exchanges by the artillery

Bus in the Artois district German bat
teries were silenced by the French
guns.
What the loss of life was in the
| sinking of the Italian liner Ancona

has not been definitely determined.
According to a dispatch late last
night from Tunis to a Rome news
paper only 225 persons. passengers and

the Ancona, were saved, which would
make 203 to be accounted for Con

The address was given at the clos

tute of Dauphin County Teachers who
have been meeting all of this week in

DIR. Holmes said that the teachers
alone were responsible for the charac-
ters which the children formed, and
pooh-poohed the idea that anything
of the past could control the boys and
girls.
What you think is what you will
do, and what you will become, and
what you make the children think will
bring the same result he declared.

He also asserted that the teacher re-
gardless of physical size or strength,
can exert the power of suggestion and
forming over the pupils.
He told them that if they only weigh

pounds of backbone.
DIR. Holmes said that stubborn peo-

that it is more difficult to cause stub
born persons to change one idea than
it is to put a new idea into their
minds.
