INDEPENDENCE DAY
OBSERVED HERE;
BIG CROWD PRESENT
HON. MILES s. JOHNSON OF LEW
IsToN DELIVERS PATRIOTIC
ADDRESS.

Independence day was fittingly OBJ
served in Grangeville. A parade in the
morning, patriotic exercises at Hall &
park, two sessions of chautauqua, and q
dance at night, as a finale, made up the
days program.
The celebration opened early in the
morning with the firing of firecrack-
ers by small boys and girls. At 1880
a parade, headed by the Cowboy band
and followed by the speaker of the
day, Red Cross women, members of the
Grand Army of the Republic, veterans
of the Spanish American war, and a
delegation of citizens, in automobiles,
proceeded from the hospital, through
Main street, and north from the hotel
corner to Hall s park, where the speak
er's stand had been erected.
Following musical numbers by the
band, the Rev. H. j. Wood repeated a
prayer. Judge Wallace N. Scales then
introduced the speaker of the day, the
Hon. Miles S. johnson, of Lewiston,
who delivered a patriotic address.
Mr.. johnson recalled the history of
the American republic, telling of the
origin of Independence day. He traced
down through the perilous times in our
national history, through the Civil war
to the present day, when we are engag-
ed in another great war-a war against
autocracy.
cit is a war" said Mr.. johnson, "to
determine whether that for which our
forefathers fought shall endure"
Mr.. johnson declared that today,
even as in other wars, there exist men
who are traitors to the United States.
He told of men who are preaching class
hatred, and trying to create great poll
teal strife today. He said certain per-
sons assert that every man in public
office is a scundrel, and they say MEM
bers of this organization are the only
persons fit to hold office.
The speaker was bitter in his arraign
ment of those who are not whole
heartedly behind the government in the
war.
Grangeville was crowded with visi-
tors from far and wide.

BURNING TIME CANDLE FOUND
UNDER THE STAIRWAY OF
STRUCTURE OF BUILDING
FOUR MIGHT HAVE Persisted
Roomer Sees Flame and Conducts In
vestigation- Sheriff Nabs Owner
of Building.

Charged with attempted arson, j. L.
Gross, aged about so years, is a prison
er in the county Jail. Gross is alleged
to have tried to set fire to business
block he owns in Kooslsia. He was ar
rested near Kooskia early Monday
morning by Sheriff Yates.
Time candles, lighted and burning
low, were discovered under the stair
way of the building Sunday night ct
1880 by a Mr.. Oatman, who had a
room ON the second floor of the struc-
true. Oatman, on returning to his room
to retire, observed a light through
cracks in the stairway. Investigation,
which included the tearing up of a
part of the stairway, revealed the can
dies, set in pans containing coal oil.
Flame is Near Oil
The candles, it is believed, had been
burning for some time, for the flames
were nearing the oil. 1t is estimated
that, had the candles not been found,
the flame would have reached the oil
within an hour after the discovery,
when the building would have ignited.
1t is probable that the entire build
ing would soon have been ablaze and
four persons-two men and two boys
who slept on the second floor, would
have persisted in the fire.
Wanted Insurance Money?
The building, constructed of con-
crete with interior of wood, consists
of three store rooms on the first floor,
while the second story comprises rooms
rented as sleeping quarters. Of late
years, according to reports, it had been
difficult to rent the building for what
was considered fair return on the in
vestment, and it said that, if Gross is
the man who tried to set fire to the
structure, he did so hoping to procure
insurance money, believed TO total
$4,000. If the insurance would have
been received, it would have exceeded
the value of the building, according to
Statements made here.
Nabbed in Friends Home.
Gross was arrested at the home of a
friend, mile and a half from Kooskia-
He had speht the night in the friend IS
home.
Officers believe Gross will confess.

PinchOt Comes Out For
O'Neil For Governor

Clifford Pinchot has come out for
J. Denny O'Neil for governor, as be-
tween Senator Sproul and O'Neil,
although the defeated Progressive
candidate for United States senator
would rather see George Wharton
Pepper, chairman of the State Pub
lis Safety Committee, nominated
than either of the two mentioned.
Pinchot stands for the ratification
of the Prohibition amendment and
is favorable to suffrage. He like
wise believes that the next governor
should be a man in full sympathy
with the labor and farm elements
and conversant with their needs.
LAS between Sproul and j. Denny
O'Neil, of course L am for O'Neil.
He stands for the things 1 believe
in," said Pinchot.
The mail to-day brought to many
Republicans notice that Asa A. Wei
mer, of Lebanon, is actively in the
field as a gubernatorial candidate
on the Republican side. Weimer
lodges the liquor question by saying
he never took a drink in his life,"
but gives no hint where he stands
with relation to the amendment.
NNeimer has been a candidate before
and nobody is much excited over
him.

RED CROSS HAS
SPENT $4,000 FOR
KNITTING WOOL
Small Charge to Be Made For
Wool to Defray
Expenses

An important change in policy of
the knitting department of the To-
cal Red Cross has been announced
by the officers of the organization.
Hereafter a small charge will be
made for wool for Red Cross knit
ting. The official statement made
by Mrs. Lyman d. Gilbert, president
ofthe chapter, follows:
Since November l wool given out
in free distribution has cost the Har-
risburg chapter, American Red
Cross. $4,000, therefore, it has been
decided that small charge will have
to be made for wool for Red Cross
knitting. Wool for sweater, rs
cents; wool for scarf, so cents; wool
for wristlets, 25 cents; wool for
socks, SO cents. This represents less
than one-half actual cost price paid
for the wool. A small free wool
fund will be maintained, and sub
scriptions to this fund are earnestly
requested. Applications for tree
wool will be registered in q book, and
filled as rapidly as the free wool
fund permits.
Days for giving out wool and re-
ceiving knitted garments:
Thursday, February IA, the knit
ting department will be prepared to
give out wool under these new
rules: Monday, 10 a. m. to p. m. /;
Tuesday, 10 a. m. to p. m; We'd
nesday, 10 a. m. to p. M; Thurs
day evening, Z p. m. to 8; Friday eve

mental purposes by the army as the
result of the first months operation
OF the new Pennsylvania dog license
code. The. law required all dogs in
boroughs and townships to be Ii
censed by January Is, the duty be-
ing imposed upon county treasurers
to issue licenses and on constables to
enforce it. The cities of the State
have long had dog regulations.
The primary object of the dog
code was to get rid of ownerless ours
and to protect sheep, raising of
which has been revived until there
are now over 100000 in Pennsyl-
vania. Dogs in the country must be
penned up at night.
Thousands of licenses are being is
sued in the rural counties and in
some sections where dogs have been
a nuisance constables have shot
them the law providing a fee for
destruction of unlicensed CANNES.
Lately appeals have been made for
dogs to be sent to national labora-
tories and some of the unclaimed
dogs may be asked by municipal au-
thorities.
Big Increases-Securities to the
par value of $3,0OO,000 have been
issued by the Mahoning and She
mango Railway and Light Company,
S750,000 of which is for improve
ments, according to notice filed with
the Public Service Commission.
Notes are given as $2,5OO,O00 pre-
ferred stock, $75O,0OO and bonds
$250,0o0. The West Penn Power
Co., Pittsburgh, gave notice of
$1,500,000 of notes for improve
ments; Wilkes-Barre Connecting
Railroad, Scranton, bonds $2,17O. 900;
Montgomery Water Co., Mont

New Ruling-Dairy and Food
Commissioner James Foust has is
sued a ruling of the State food ad-
ministration whereby the sale is per-
mitted in Pennsylvania of dried cod
and other fish, including shredded
fish, which has been treated with
boric acid or benzoate of soda, where
notice is given and the preservative
can be easily removed. The ruling
will affect only fish treated in accord
with the National Food and Drugs
Act.
To Protect Roads-Steps to bring
to attention of the supervisors and
truck and wagon owners the impor-
tance of using care in traversing
roads while soft this year and of
staying out of ruts were taken to-
day by division engineers, county
road superintendents and foremen
of the State Highway Department.
The heavy snowfall is expected to
make the roads very soft this year
and to prevent damage the co-ope-
ration of everyone will be asked by
the Highway Department men.

Financial Exposures
Doom Bolo, Paris View

Paris Feb. 11.-All Paris regards
Bolo Pasha, now on trial before a
court-martial on the charge of trea-
son, as doomed to face a firing squad
ut Fort Vincennes. Two of the trial
days seem to have brought the same
realization to the prisoner who has
lost something of the air of bravado
he wore at the opening of the trial.
The testimony that will condemn
him will be that of NJ. Doyen, the
financial expert, legal Paris thinks.
1t feels that M. Doyen's proof that
Bolo was almost q pauper at the out
set of the war and the prisoners
complete failure to account properly
for his sudden wealth damn him.
Bolo was handling millions. There
is a wealth of evidence to show that
these millions came from German
sources, and not a scintilla of sup
port for Bolo's pretense that the
money was gained in a speculation.
But there are those who look for a
sensational end and feel that Bolo
will make coup de theater involv-
ing CaillauX or some other important
parsonage.

Little Coal Arrives in
City to Relieve Shortage

Three cars of anthracite coal came
into Harrisburg over the Pennsylva-
mia railroad yesterday. This was
delivered to city dealers. The
amount of anthracite coal that has
come into Harrisburg during the last
week has been practically negligible,
and in case of zero weather again,
Ross A. Hickok, county fuel admin
istrator, will find it necessary to
supply Harrisburg householders with
the soft variety. Four cars of BIZ
luminous coal were supplied the
dealers by Mr.. Hickok yesterday.
Four cars of bituminous coal were
sent to the Hershey Traction Com
pany by Mr.. Hickok yesterday. Mr..
Hickok received a telegram from
State Fuel Administrator Potter,
saying that the traction company
was entirely without coal.
No more coal was received for the
Harrisburg Light and Power Com
pany yesterday. The company was
supplied last week with enough coal
to worry along until sometime We'd

Salvation Army Is
Praised by Governor

Work of the Salvation Army was
formally commended to the people
of Pennsylvania by Governor Brum-
baugh in a proclamation given out
at the Capitol to-day. The procla-
nation especially refers to the work
done by the organization among
soldiers.
Governor Brumbaugh says:
IT have long since learned to be-
lieve' in the great, good work of the
Salvation Army and have given it
my approval and support through the
years. This mighty body of conse-
Grated workers are like cleaners in
the field of humanity. They seek
and succor and save those that most
need and least receive aid.
This Army of God now proposes
to carry its beneflcent service to our
boys at the front. Already many
huts have been erected here and in
France. More are needed. They
work under national sanction and in
close cooperation with the Y. NJ. C.
A., knights of Columbus and kim
dred official organizations. They do
bravely and well a notable service
and are most worthy of the conf
dence and assistance of our citizens.
'NOW, THEREFORE,, I, Martin
G. Brumbaugh, Governor of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. do
cordially commend the work of the
Salvation Army and call upon our
people to give earnest heed to their
cali for assistance, making liberal
donations to their praise-worthv
work and maintaining thus our con-
tinued and resolute purpose to give
our men in arms unstinted aid and
to support gladly all these noble and
sacr1itcing agencies that under God
give hope and help to our soldiers {"
