PRETTY LIE coco HOME
DESTROYED BY FIRE
Driving Wind Prevents Saving ANY,
thing In Structure; Attorney To
Rebuild

Fire completely destroyed the res
idence of R. B. LIE Coco on West
Maint Street Wednesday morning. A
high wind made the efforts at saving
the structure or the contents futile.
Mrs. LIE Coco, who was home with
the baby, smelled smoke that issued
from between the floors shortly be-
fore eleven o'clock, and ran for as
sistance When she returned, the
flames had made great headway, so
that it was impossible to save any
of the furniture or personal effects
The Lynden fire department worked
hard in the freezing cold without
avail
A fine piano dropped to the base
ment, and many valuable pieces of
furniture were destroyed. The loss
is estimated at between three and
four thousand dollars, partially COW
cred by insurance.
The home, with its pretty sur
roundings and garden, was one of
the most attractive buildings in the
northern section of the city. Mr..
LIE Cocq is making plans to rebuild
at once.

LINDEN MERCHANTS
ADOPT WAR MEASURES
At Request OF Government, Local
Stores Curtail Deliveries And Use
Other Economies

Friday, February /, all Lynden
stores will so on the economy basis
recommended by the United States
government. City deliveries will be
limited to one a day, country deliv-
les will be done away with altogeth-
er, stores will open at nine and close
at six every day in the week includ-
Ing Saturdays credits will be limit
ed to thirty days, and emphasis in
selling will be laid on staple necess-
tiles.
The saving to the Lynden merch-
ants on the deliveries alone will total
more than fifteen thousand dollars
annually, in addition to cutting costs
in many directions.
Other cities throughout the state
are making similar moves at the re-
quest of the government, and the
dealers everywhere are receiving a
general endorsement of approval for
their willingness in backing up the
government.
Thousands of men have been re-
leased for other work throughout the
United States as a result of these E.
economies.

TELLS OF LLOYD-GEORGE AND
HIS WORK FOR DEMOCRACY

H w. Davis, professor of Eng
lish at Whitman College. gave an il
Eliminating lecture Monday evening
at the Lynden High School on "Dav-
id Lloyd George and Democracy.
He gave a biographical sketch OF
the plucky little Welshman who. as
prime minister of England, is wicld-
ing more power than any English
king ever possessed,
In splendid manner. Professor
Davis told how Lloyd-George's entire
public ministry has been filled with
acts bringing freedom and democracy
to the people.
When England interrupted her
interior reforms to enter the war ag-
ainst Germany, it was not for self
aggrandizement, or for selfish COM
mercial reasons he declared. ION
the contrary, England fought to up
hold international law, and to streng-
then and further democracy. For
these same unselfish reasons. Amer
ica has entered the struggle.
P. NJ. SeIrurier acted as chairman
If the evening. Before the ADDRESS,
the audience joined in singing the
Star Spangled Banner" and at the
close they sang THE Battle Hymn OF
he Republic" and America"

ing machinery to-day gave the de-
partment an opportunity to make
other extensive repairs, according
to Commissioner Hassler. While
only one valve was damaged it was
decided to repair other working
parts. Double forces of men were
called out and kept hard at work
until almost o'clock when botn
pumps were again ready for use.
Reservoir Again Sinks
In the meantime hourly reports
from the reservoir showed that the
supply there was slowly being ex-
hausted again despite the amount
of water being pumped into the city
mains from Steelton, the Stony
Creek water plant north of the city,
and the Pennsylvania Railroad
pumping plant.
The old pumps now in use were
built in 1874 and for many years
after the big pump was started were
not used. Repairs were made to
them last November, but the heavy
pull during the last two months
made additional changes necessary.
DR.. Hassler said to-day the machin-
cry is working better now than when
it was started in November.
Two Weeks Delay
Repairs on the big pump are pro-
crossing again with the placing of
the thirteen-ton casting. A concrete
base must be constructed for this
big casting and it will be two weeks
before the large pump was started
While outside plants have been
connected to city mains, the import
ance of conserving all water and of
stopping all waste was repeated
again by Mayor Keister and Commits
sioner Hassler.
Waste Means Delay
"Evcry gallon of water drawn when
it is not needed, or wasted, will mean
that much longer delay in getting
the reservoir filed" the latter said.
"Until there is sufficient supply
there all plants musy remain closed,
This mems they probably will not
resume operations until next week.
1--WE nre hoping to get permission
to start on Monday III the situation
improves sufficiently, but II is up to

ception of the plants named In the
Mayors order"
Must boil Water
City and state health department
officials issued warnings that all
water should be boiled until the city
is again using its own supply of fl
tered water
While the supply from Steelton is
filtered, it is being pumped through
more than 1900 feet of hose stretched
along Cameron street from the city
limits to the northern end of the
borough.
Because of the shortage yesterday
the school board was compelled to
close the Camp Curtin and Steele
buildings in the West End
Aid From Pennsy
Until further notice the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad will supply Harris
burg with 21a million gallons of
water each day. This additional
service began last night at midnight.
The water is of the pure spring va
"iety and comes through the Dau-
phin Consolidated Water Company
pipes from Dauphin. 1t is one of the
many water companies owned and
operated by the Pennsy at various
points along the big system.
In order to keep up the supply
the Dauphin company to-day started
another pump. \ large supply of
coal was diverted by the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad to Dauphin to keep
the pumps going. This service is
similar to that furnished by the
Pennsy to Coatesville and other mu-
inequalities during recent shortages
in water supply. The Dauphin COM
pany supplies all water used by the
company in this city, except at the
railroad station. This and other
water companies under control of the
railroad company are in charge of
William b. McCaleb. former superin-
tendent of the Philadelphia Division.
Arrangements for attaching the
Pennsy water mains to those of the
city were arranged at a conference
yesterday afternoon between DR.. S. F.
Hassler and ]. X. Johnston, super
intendent of the Philadelphia Divi-
sion. DIR. Hassler was told that the
company was always ready and will
ing to help any municipality.

HELLO JAPAN" A
PLEASING COMEDY
Audiences at Majestic Fail to
Appreciate Clever Musi-
cal Playlet

II isn't often that an audience mis-
Vaudeville program, but last night the
Majestic crowds certainly were an
unappreciative lot when it came to ap-
iDlause. The entire program is good,
Hello, Japan." the musical comedy,
taking headline honors. The failure
-of the theatergoers to do their part
may have been partly because of the
poor arrangement of the acts. the
musical playlet coming in the middle
nof the bill.
Frawley and West clown and wo-
imam, follow the pictures with a fine
bit of ring work, including pole and
i1rapeze work. A few new stunts
aroused the interest of the audience,
but the closing feat is an old one. Lit
tie Jerry, dwarf comedian, has a fair
voice, and his songs were well Sc
1ected.
Hello, Japan" the opening musical
number of the comedy operetta by
the same name, is an excellent rhythmic
song with a catchy melody. The sec
ond musical number is a recitative
duet by the comedians, two would-be
English gentlemen, who sing Its Not
Like We Thought 1t Was At All" The
chorus effects for this number are fine.
The remainder of the Offering is given
in full stage with a special scenic ar
rangement. There was much in this
act which merited applause. but if the
entertainers expected an outburst they
certainly were disappointed.
The next offering is not billed on
the program as given last evening. 1t
SIS song and talk skit by a couple
who use the old story of the ''rube"
and the chorus lady to bring the
laughs.
Bowers. Walters and Crcoker. billed
as the Three Rubes, have some good
tumbling tricks and individual dances
This bit of entertainment would have
been much better If it had been given
p place near the start of the program
Many persons began to leave before
the three comedians had finished, and
not only missed a number of good
foats, but prevented many others from
enjoying them.

The extensively advertised musical
comedy, Hello Japan" appearing as
the headline feature
"HeIIO Japan" of the bill at the
At the Majestic Majestic the latter
half of this week. is
creating much favorable comment
among vaudeville devotees who have
witnessed this delightful piece of en-
tertainment. 1t is an elaborate pro-
duction, beautifully staged and cos
tuned, and a note of praise deserves
to be sounded for the splendid work
of the players. There is good singing
and dancing, with a dash of comedy
sprinkled here and there throughout
the act. to say nothing of the beauty
chorus, who add much to the at
tractiveness of the offering. Taken
all in all, Hello Japan" is cleverly
presented and is diverting and enter
tanning throughout. A good vaude-
vile show is grouped around this at
traction. Bowers, Walters and Crook
er are a lively trio. presenting a
laughable variety offering; Frances
and Dyer entertain with some splen-
did singing; Little Jerry, the lillipu-
tian comedian, keeps the audience in
constant laughter with his funny an
tics, while Frawley and West COM
plete the bill by introducing a novelty
ring act.

"The Daughter another triumph
of Destiny" before the came ra.
Aside from the
fact that this silent drama, dealing
with international politics and love,
the powerful acting of the star can
not help but make a deep impression
upon all who witnessed the initial pre-
sentation in this city yesterday of
the Petrova features. 1t is the story
of an American girl, whose quick
wittedness scores a victory over Eu-
ropean statecraft. In thus feature
film one can also get a very clear idea
of just how the Hun, who has set the
world on fire with war, works day
and night to attain his ends in seek
ing world conquest. Nothing is sacred
to him. The artist, Zorn, married the
beautiful American girl for the ex-
press purpose of securing informa-
tion from her father, and failing,
casts the wife aside. Hundreds of
similar Incidents serve but to make
this one of the most interesting fea-
lures of the screen. For Liberty"
featuring Glady Brockwell, will be
shown tomorrow.

Material OH Way
Word was received here to-day
that the big electric motor for the
electric pumping unit had reached
Pittsburgh. George Morrisey. traffic
eXpediter for the Harrisburg Pipe
and Pipe Bending Works, is in
charge of the shipping of this part
of the new equipment. 1t was also
learned that the pump had been
shipped yesterday from Trenton,
N. j.
The only other equipment needed
will be sufficient pipes to connect
TO the city mains after the new
pump is installed.
May Study Water Cost
It was intimated to-day the ordi-
nance providing for the water rates
increase may not be called for final
passage next week, but instead ex-
perts will be engaged to estimate
the cost for pumping the water and
the amount the city should charge
to householders and Industrial users
The plan may be suggested to Coun-
Gil in a day or two.
