i remembered most kindly by Brownsville
for his very efficient and intelligent ser
vices during the earlier period ot the oo-
called bandit troubles. when he was IN
command at this place. during the fall Of
1915. Colonel Billiard has made friends
and admirers wherever he has been sta
TONED in this section. His close and cor
dial relations with the citizens of San
Bcnito and Harrington during the past year
or more cndearcd him to them 70 such IN
extent that. I~ ann expression Of their en-
thu-ia~tic admiration for him, they petit
toned the war department to promote him

Twisted Thread" Organiza-
ton Has Red Lion Borough
Hunting For Miscreants

York. Pa, Nov. 23!-Residents of
Red Lion, a suburban borough, are
greatly perturbed over the existence
of an organization styling itself "The
Twisted Thread. whose members
have been sending threatening let
ters to schoolgirls, and last Sunday
night somebody struck down Miss
Rebecca Hess 13-year-old girl, with
a blunt instrument, while on her way
home from church. According to the
story of the girl. she was attacked
near her home at 8 o'clock and after
Icing knocked unconscious, was
dragged into an outhouse at the rear
of a vacant house and left there.
The girl suffered no violence, and 1t
is thought her assailant was fright
ened away, thinking he had killed
the girl.
Letters were received by Miss Hess
on several occasions. warning her of
the impending attack, and she has
elso received several since then. 9th
ers in the borough have received
these mysterious missives, which are
usually thrown on the doorstep.
Among the most recent to get one
was a small son of Assistant Post
master c. f. Schmuck, threatening
the boy with bodily harm. A favor
lite threat 10 to warn against a GER
tain day when the victim is to meet
death.
Although the borough authorities
are offering a 500 reward for the
apprehension of the guilty parties,

ccssful in their efforts to capture
and break up the Twisted Thread

woman when asked why she did not

is best fitted to do, yesterday.
The matter of telling her age is
probably the reason why the num-
Der registered in Sunbury was so
small. In the two days of the regis
trations, less than 500 women signed
their names to the roll. Mrs. Eliza
beth Groom, aged rs. was the first
to register.

showing that the woman'S husband
was killed while engaged in inter-
state commerce. The Board has
given number of decisions in which
appeals by railroads on the ground
of interstate commerce work were
sustained, but in this case it is held
that the proof is not clear that the
man, who was watchman, was at
the time of the accident actually en-
gagged in directing or protecting in
terstate traffic. In other railroad
cases decided it is held that the men
who were engaged in interstate COM
merce and awards are set aside.
In the case of Helen Gorence,
Claytonia, VS.. F. A. Miner Coal Co.,
Erie, the Board sets forth it's opin-
ion in regard to awards to depend
ent children. 1t is held that the
controlling thought is the fact that
the Legislature directly provides for
compensation. for dependent children
until they reach that age when they
can legally work."
A ruling in regard to compensa-
tion agreements is made in Eugene
j. Brady, VS.. Lehigh, Valley Coal
Co, in which it is set forth that the
act "contemplateS that the employee s
compensation shall be based upon
his wages at the time of his acci-
dent and that If an employe pre-
Vious to his accident had been pro-
moted or had been changed to a diff
ferent form of employment at higher
wages that fact constitutes new
contract and his compensation Is to
he based upon that rate for as long
as he has been in the employ of the
same employer at that particular
occupation"

tory inspectors and compensation
referees gathered here today for
their annual discussion of their
work. They were here for the well

Houck, n former referee, met with

At the same time the factory in

to avoid accidents urged upon the
inspectors.
