five minutes.
Vaskas was captured by the police
in the factory, where he had fed, and
hurried away in an automobile from

FAILS TO SEND MARRIED WO-
 MAN TO SCHOOL, IS FINED

GREENSBURG, Pa, March L. One of the strangest school cases in tie history of this State has just come to light.
 The case was decided before Squire Truxal when John Galoni of south Greensburg, was ordered to pay a fine of S9.47 for neglect ing to send Ella Galoni, his married daughter, aged 13, to school.
 The girl eloped to Cumberland last October and was married. When she and her husband return ed they went to live with Galoni instead of taking up housekeeping themselves. The compulsory school law does not provide for girls to mary before they become 16 and leave school.
 Attendance officer W. B. Keitz was ordered to enforce the law ani notice was served on Galoni, who refused to send his daughter to school, saying that he was no long CT her boss"
 At the hearing the question as to who is the legal guardian of the child wife came up, but Squire Truxal declared his knowledge of law was unequal to a decision on that point Galoni then agreed to pay the fine and costs and notify

HUNDRED FROM
 NEWFOUNDLAND
Men Are Sent in Companies of One
 Hundred

ST. JOHN, N. F., March 1.-The governor, Sir Walter Davidson, has been notified that another draft of 100 men of the Newfoundland re- giment has safely arrived in En- gland. This brings the total num- Der transported across the Allan tic for this force up to 1900 and another company of nearly 100 men is now in training at St. Johns.
 Because of the difficulties of ob- taining transport it has been de cided latterly to send the men a. cross in squads of 100 instead of 250 as formerly. In addition it is thereby possible to expedite their trs.ning there being, of course, greater facilities in the British Isles than there are in Newfound- land.
 As matter of fact, the whole the parliamentary work has to be done here by men who are anne tuers save as far as some of them have a lite training with the var ious boys brigades established in St Johns. One of the officers of the latest draft however. 1t has been arranged shall take a course of instructions at one Of the offi- eers' training camps in England, so that on his return he may be able to carry on his work.
 Steps are about to be taken for the launching of vigorous re- cruiting campaign in the colony du- ring the winter. Appropriate lan- tern slides have been obtained from the imperial authorities, and illustrated lectures will be given at various points,

 ANSWERS DENIAL

In answer to the article in the Progressive Miner. dated March Ist 1916, regarding the loss of the launch North Cape, I will make the following statement:
 When I asked the. storekeeper at Dolomi for help he told me that l could have the gashoat Grey but not the Eurus which was equal to refusal as he knew be- fore hand that the Grey was not in condition to run.
 As I stated before offered to pay him for the use of the Eurus and also that I would De respon- sihle for the boat but he refused to let me have her.
 We then went together to the engineers cabin and the storekeep- CT told him that he could use the Grey if he could get her to run. The engineers said why not use the Eurus but the storekeeper said no to which the engineer answered, T don't see how you can refuse in . case of this kind"
 We then went on board the Grey and worked at her over an hour trying to get the engine started but without success. The engin- eer told me there that he could start the Eurus in half a minute.
 I think that a man who is mean enough to refuse to help a man in distress is mean enough to try to lie out of it afterwards.

GOAL FAMINE THREATENED
 AT DOUGLAS
Twenty-seven Tons Are All that Remain on Island-Shipment
 Is Expected.
COUNCIL HOLDS SESSION

DOUGLAS, Oct. S.-Were it not for the fact thot Martin Olson ex- pects 100 tons of coal here on the steamer Spokane Friday Douglas would be facing a coal famine, ac' cording to report made at the reeting of the city council last night by Alderman Gun, there are but 2I tons left on the City Dock. However if Olson's coal arrives, the shortage will be relieved as both dealers, the city and Olsen, have placed orders aggregating nearly 1000 tons. The former does not expect shipment before the middle of the month and the latter expects consignments to follow that expected on the Spokane in short order. The trouble is not due to the lack of steamers to car ry the coal, but to inability to se- cure the coal, most of which comes from the colleries of British Colum' bia. where, owing to so many men having gene to the war; the output of coal has been greatly dicminished. Coal now expected will command S11 per ton on the wharf costing the consumer SIP.
 All the members of the council were present at last nights meeting but there was little business of i'm portance transacted. E. J. White, being unable to serve as a judge of the approaching electicr J. L. ILangseth was named for the posi- tion.
 The council allowed bills amount | ing to $1552.39, $lOOO of which was ! for the public school, leaving a bal ance in the treasury of $5,45O,
 Fire Chief Pat" Mcclure made his monthly report which showed ey. erything in connection with the de
 partment to be in good condition In connection with the chiefs report lit came out that the fire pump is broken and repairs will be required
 from the outside before it can be
 operated.
