this morning completely destroyed the
big plant of the Farmers Creamery
Company of this place. The nre'
starting in a coal gin at the plant.
was caused by spontaneous combus-
tion, it is believed. The loss whlc9
will reach $4,000. is partly covered
by insurance.
Several boilers of the plant were
saved but the remainder was total
loss. Fifty barrels of sugar was de-
stroyed together with 8,4O0 pounds
of milk and "a large humber of milk
cans.
The fire was well advanced when
discovered and there was little chance
of saving the building. Volunteer
firemen worked until the Manor town
ship, the Penn Mutual and the Mt.
Joy Mutural fire companies arrived.
They were unable to check the flames
in time to save the blazing struc-
ture, but were successful in their ef-
forts to keep it from spreading to
othger buildings in the vicinity.

FAIR PLAY MEN
PRE-EMPT MORE
York County Represented id
Latest Papers to Be Filed
at the Courthouse

The name of the Fair Play party
which was pre-empted yesterday fol
the state-at-large by adherents OF
Judge Eugene c. Bonniwell, was pre-
en1pted by mail to-day for sever
more districts, the papers being sent
to the Dauphin county prothonotarY
They were the Eighth and Twentieth
Congressional; Tenth, Twenty eighth
and Twenty-ninth Senatorial and
First York and Third Schuylkill leg
islative districts.
While men connected with the
Democratic State Committee have
been keeping a watchful eye on the
filing of the prescriptions of the
Fair Play party, it is very apparent
that nothing will be done by the
Democratic state organization to op+
pose the creation of the third paris
| in any way. The disposition aboIn
the state headquarters is to let the
Bonniwell people go as far as thes
| like with their independent move|
ment.
State Chairman George R. Nc
! Lean, now a major in the army; MAJ
! tional Committeeman A. mitchell
Palmer and other big Democratic
guns, will be here for the State ComS
mittee meeting Wednesday. They
| will endeavor to make as impress
sive a showing as possible. The Bon
niwell people intend to have a say
in the State Committee session ir
spite of their third party activities
and there were reports to-day that
they would make an effort to make
the platform wet instead of nom
committal. Judge Bonniwelps friend7
here are guarding their plans fo1
the meeting, while about the state
| headquarters there are intimationz
| that some Democrats may feel like
disciplining the Judge.

COL. JOHNSON IS OUT
OF DRAFT LAW WORK
Deputy Provost Marshal Sent to
Department of Supplies.

Col. Hugh S. Johnson. deputy Pro-
yost Marshal, in charge Of the op-
Grafton Of the draft law. has been
relieved of this post, it was learned
last night. He has been ordered to
report for duty under Brig. Gen.
Palmer Z. Pierce. director OF pur-
Chases and supplies.
War Department officials lats night
declined TO discuss the transfer of
Col. johnson. No intimation would
be given as to who would succeed
him as deputy Provost Marshal.
The departure of Col. Johnson Is
the latest of many changes in the
office of the Provost Marshal Gen.
eral. A number Of officers under Col.
johnson have been ordered to other
posts during the last few weeks.
The apparent shake-up was widely
discussed about the War Department
yesterday.
Col. johnson has established an en-
viable reputation as a result of his
work under the draft law. He was
made chief assistant to Brig. Gen. L.
II. Crowder when the Provost Mar
shal General established the draft
headquarters. He has been rapidly
promoted from captain to colonel.
Two months ago he was made dep
uty Provost Marshal in charge o;
the draft.
Gen. Crowder has given Col John
son the highest official commenda-
ton. 1t is believed the change will
be followed by promotion TO higher
rank and more important duties.

HEARING POSTPONED;
GODSOL Still IN JAIL
Court Awaits Papers from France
in Embezzlement Case.

Further postponement until April 10
of the hearing In the case Of Frank
]. Godsol former private in the
French army charged with embezzle-
ment in connection with the letting OF
contracts for motor trucks, was an
nounced yesterday by United states
Commissioner Isaac Hit.
Motion to dismiss the complaint
against Godsol. filed at brief hear
ing last Saturday by former Senator
Joseph w. Bailey, counsel for Godsol,
was not acted upon by the Commits
sioner. 1t was argued by Mr.. Bailey
that the charge upon which Godsol
was held was not sufficiently definite to
justify his detention in prison, and he
requested his release and dismissal OF
the complaint.
District Attorney Laskey opposed
the petition for dismissal and release
of Godsol and asked for further post
ponement of the hearing until the pa
pers said to have been mailed from
France some time ago had arrived
and could be produced before the
Commissioner for the hearing.
The proceedings yesterday occupied
little more than an hour and discus
sion was devoted to the motion for dis
missial of the complaint and release
of Godsol. should the documents
formally charging Godsol with a
specific crime arrive in Washington
before April 10. it was announced by
Commissioner Hit. an earlier date
would be set for the hearing upon
agreement of counsel.
