number of voluntary subscriptions.
Each delegate was instructed to start
a fund in her circle and the money

Puts Himself in Jail;
Authorities in Quandary

Morrisville. Pa, April 5. - David
Lukens, a property owner, is in the
Morrisville Jail, where he insists on re-
naming fifteen days to serve out the
fine imposed upon him last night by
Justice of the Peace w. II. Kunsman.
Lukens was arrested for a violation of
the sanitary code, and when sentence
was pronounced said he was willing to
pay, but not in money.
He entered one of the cells of the
lookup and the pleadings of the Off
GERS and members of his family failed
to get him to go home.
The authorities are at a loss to know
what to do, as it will cost the borough
more to feed him than the fine and
costs amount to. The cell doors are
open, but Lukens refuses to leave.
His family took bedclothes to his cell
last night.

Protest against a general strike by
American railroad men, at this time.
when the nation is on the verge of
war, was made by the board of trus-
tees of the American Defense Society
in resolution addressed to the heads
of the four railroad brotherhoods.
"A railroad strike at this time" the
resolution read in part, would not
only inflict incalculable misery, suf-
fering and despair on the poor in our
cities, but so delay supplies and NUM-
tions as to prove in truth a blow at our
own naval and military arm. Such a
result could be characterized only as
treason to the United States"

which shows that 93 per cent. of the

number of journals favoring uniyer-
sal service, having 10 papers; Penn

The poll showed that Iowa, supposed
to be the heart = and center of the

favor universal military training. An
other interesting fact developed bv the

PROMINENT MEN
URGE POLICE ACT
Measure to Increase the State
Police Will Be Boosted by
Committee Monday

Plans have been.made by prominent
men in number of sections of the
State to urge the passage by the
House next Monday night of the
bill to increase the State Police on the
ground that at this time it is essential
to have some organized body of men
to fall back upon after the Guardsmen
enter federal service.
President Alba b. Johnson, of the
Pennsylvania State Chamber of Com
merce, has appointed a committee of
the State Chamber, consisting of d. E.
Tracy, of Harrisburg, chairman;
Judge Eugene c. Bonniwell, of Phila-
delphia, and Paul Littlefeld, of Har-
risburg, committee to represent the
State Chamber in urging the HousS
to vote in favor of the passage of the
State Police bill, which has been made
special order for third reading next
Monday night at $50.
A statement issued says:
The state of war now existing be-
tween the Empire of Germany and the
United States makes an increase fn-the
force of the State Police absolutely
necessary to aid in maintaining order
and properly guarding the railroads,
bridges and other lines of communi-
cation within the State. and to furnish
police protection to factories engaged
IN the manufacture OF war supplies Tor
the government.
The State Chamber is cooperating
with the Philadelphia Chamber of
Commerce, the Chamber of Commerce
of Pittsburgh and other business or
ganizations in Pennsylvania to bring
before the members of the House of
Representatives the vital necessity of
an increase in the police force of the
State at this time.
Judge Bonniwell and Mr.. Tracy are
directors in the State Chamber and
Mr.. Littlefield is secretary
