PARIS TO HOLD HOME
RECONSTRUCTION FAIR
Big Exhibition in Tuileries Gar
dens Planned for Next
Summer

PARIS, Feb. 25.-The first practical
step taken in France toward the recon-
structon of the millions of homes destroy
ed in the war is the organization of a
Reconstruction Exposition to be held in
the Tuileries Gardens, Paris, during May,
June and July next.
The homes of 35,O0O,0OO people. with
farms, factories and public buildings. will
have to be rebuilt in northern France.
Belgium Serbia. Montenegro Poland and
Western Russia.
Exhibits needed are building material,
model homes. farms and factories, ma
chinery. tools and engineering imple-
ments. 1t is hoped and believed by the
organizers that the United States, as the
greatest industrial and agricultural
country in the world not directly affected
by the war, will supply the bulk of the
exhibits.
Henry c. Long, of Boston. who is tax
ing a leading part in the organization of
the exposition. which is under the patron
age of the French Government today
said:
Europe expects to be very short of
labor when the war is over, owing to
the wastage of human lives, so that
American labor-saving machinery will be
urgently needed. That is why the COM
mttee of the exposition makes strong
appeal to American architects. engineers
and manufacturers to come forward with
suggestions and plans"

d. T. WATSON, NOTED
ATTORNEY, DIES
Continued from Page One

In 1873 he opened an office for himself
and had been practicing law continuously
until his death.
Coming to Pittsburgh, he became a
member of bar which had a number of
lawyers of high legal attainment, acquired
by years of arduous labor When 30
years of age his clientele was of the same
class as that of the oldest and ablest mem
ber of the bar. For % years he was
a recognized leader of the bar, and his
reputation became worldwide, especially
since his most remarkable argument in
what is known as the Alaska Boundary
dispute between the United States and
Great Britain, during the delivery of
which he was highly complimented by the
Lord Chief Justice of England.
He was assistant counsel for the Gov
ernment in the suit for the dissolution
of the Northern Pacific merger and was
chief counsel for tne late Senator
Quay in the famous Peoples Bank case,
in which Quay was accused of misap-
pIication of State funds while State
Treasurer for the benefit of favored de-
positories Mr., Watson raised the point
that the suit could not lie against his
client, inasmuch as it was barred by the
statute of limitations on this ground
the Commonwealth abandoned the suit.

HINT THAT OPERATORS
WILL YIELD TO MINERS
Union Leaders Given to Under
stand That They May Look
for Concessions

NEW YORK. Feb. 25.-Prospects of an
early agreement on a new wage scale for
the soft coal fields of Western Pennsyl.
vania, Ohio Indiana and Illinois,
have been pronounced much brighter
since the adjournment Of the re-
sumed conference of operators and or.
ganized mine workers from those States.
The miners have been given to under
stand that they may look for concessions
with regard TO the mine.run demand, which
has deadlocked the mine owners and theft
employees for nearly two weeks. No di-
rect offer has been made, but sufficient
intmation has been given the miners of
the intention of the operators to make
them feel confident that a four.State wage
scale will be agreed upon before the New
York conference ends
When the joint conference resumed its
deliberations the question OF wage
scale again was referred to the subcom-
mittee. The miners said they did not
want the run.of.the-mine system as n ques-
ton Of policy. but as one of dollars and
cents: that they desired TO be paid for
every pound of coal they produced.
1t was said that II the system Of
paying the men on the run-of-the-mne
basis Is conceded, the operators viii ask
for measures of protection to assure them
the miners will send up clean coal and not
n large percentage of slack.

DRUNK OR HANGOVER,
NO MATTER; COUNTY'S
OFFICIALS BAR BOOZE
City's Example Followed in De-
mand That All Employees Get
Acquainted With the
Old Water Cart
ORDER is NOW GENERAL

County officials. following the example
set by departmental heads and bureau
chiefs in the city service, have quietly let
II be known among their employees that
drinking during business hours, or ap-
pearing for work suffering from the ef-
fects of overindulgence. will not be tOler-
ated. Like the officials of the city, they
make the offensc punishable by suspen-
sion, and If repeated, by dismissal from
the service.
Recorder Of Deeds James NJ. Hazlett re.
Gently entered his office and found one
of his clerks lounging in n very undgni.
fled attitude In a corner, and evidently
suffering from what in the vcrnacular of
the streets, Is known as a hangover"
Glancing at the clerk the Recorder asked
the trouble. and the clerk responded
he was not feeling we'll. The Recorder
made an investigation, which resulted in
the discovery that il was not the mans
first offense. Twenty.four hours later he
was dismissed from the Countys service
and his successor was at work.
This instance Of AK swinging served as
an illuminating warning to others in the
employ Of the Recorder and needless to
say the ban against liquor and it's results
has become effective. The Recorder al.
lowed his action to speak for him, and
although no formal order directed against
liquor has been issued, his attitude Is now
well enough known to all to prove a de.
terrent to clerks prone to excess.
Register of Wills Sheehan is equally op-
posed to excessive use of liquor by any of
the men in his employ and county officials
as a result are just as fearful the punish
ment to be metcd out in case of their
being reported. This applies to all of the
county offices.
Mayor Smiths order against liquor, is
sued after action had already been taken
by several departmental heads and bureau
chiefs, is sufficient warning to cover all
of the 1900 city employees, while the
county officials and employees are equally
warned of trouble in the event of too free
indulgence.

REV. C. E. ST. JOHN DIES;
NOTED UNITARIAN
Continued from Page One


Theological Seminary, and the author of
"The Religion of the Dawn"
Mr.. St John came into the limelght
during the Sunday revival campaign in
this city, when he issued an open letter
to the Protestant clergy of Philadelphia,
attacking Sunday and his methods.
In part Mr.. st. John said; THE idea
Of frightening people about hell and eter.
nal suffering is a religion of the past. To
believe him. one would think that religion
consists only in keeping out of hell
Mr. Sunday in his sermons put many
Of the best men in hell, but | assure you
frankly that | would much prefer to be
in their company than in his.
In his idea all people are going to hell
He can't seem to conceive that If we NOR
tails live honorably the future will take
care Of itself.
Think of leading 12.year.old children
up the sawdust trail. They have no idea
what they are doing. and | certainly think
their sweet and childish minds should be
free Of such thoughts of hell and many
other Of the evangelist's ideas.
"AIr Sundays campaign is undoubtedly
vulgar He makes his appeal to popular
ignorance and TO an old doctrine that
has long been abandoned. In fact he Is
attempting to bring religion back to where
II was two centuries ago"
