WIGFIELD MAKES
FINAL REPORT
Before Retiring Recommends
Several Improvements for
Police Department

In his annual and final report to
Council last night retiring Burgess
Fred Wigfield gave a complete list
of arrests and fines during the year
and recommended some improve
ments to the department.
The total arrests, according to the
report, numbered $40; the total
treasury amounted to $1,550.52;
amount of costs, s25S.47. Chief of
Police Grove reported to the Bur-
CESS that S3,061.74 was collected
through licenses and taxes, as fol-
lows: One thousand, eight hundred
and seventy-one pole taxes, $467.75;
licenses, s515; pool licenses, s270.
Lauds Police Department
In his report Mr.. Wigtield said:
I'm closing my administration,
wish to commend the police depart
ment for its aggressive and efficient
work during the past year. The
force has worked shoulder to shoul-
der during this time and accom-
pljshed splendid results, considering
the extra amount of work which
has been forced upon it by the pres
ent war conditions.
II feel sure that if the Chief of
Police and his department are Civ
en- the cooperation and support of
Council, efficiency and good service
will be produced. Owing to the in
creased work which the War De-
partment desires of our police force,
I am convinced that the force
should be increased and all facili-
ties, especially combination patrol
wagon, be provided"
The retiring Burgess also eN-
pressed his thanks and appreciation
for the cooperation of Council
during the year.

OLD TIME COLD
DRINK TEA!

Get a small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea at any pharmacy. Take a
tablespoonful of this Hamburg tea,
put a cup of boiling water upon it,
pour through a sieve and drink a tea
cupful at any time. 1t is the most eff
fective way to break a cold and cure
grip, as it opens the pores, relieving
congestion. Also loosens the bowels,
thus breaking a cold at once.
1t is inexpensive and entirely vege-
table, therefore harmless.

MRS, WILLIAM ALBRIGHT

Camp Hill, Jan. S.-The funeral OF
Mrs. William Albright took place
yesterday afternoon. Burial was
made at Royersford, to which place
the body was taken yesterday morn
ing. Services were held Sunday even
ing at the home of a daughter, Mrs.
T.. w. Cowden, Camp Hill.
Mrs. Albright was the wife of Will
liam Albright, of the American Book
Company, % Evergreen street, Har-
risburg. She had been ill for long
time and died at the home of her
daughter in Camp Hill. Her illness
puzzled many physicians. After her
death an autopsy showed that the
womans skull had grown to three
times the thickness of skull. This
caused a pressure on the brain and
resulted in a complication of all
ments. Besides her husband, the sur
vivors are one son, Blaine, of Phila-
delphia: and two daughters, Miss
Agnes, Philadelphia, and Mrs. e. w.
Cowden, whom she was visiting at
the time of her death.

was named to visit the other two

The committee, which visited the

latter be invited to send a fraternal
delegation to the uptown local, and
that the practice of fraternal cooper
alton be made permanent. The sug-
gestions were adopted, and a COM
munication sent to the West end union.

JOHNSON MAKING
STRONG BID FOR
SRER|FF'S JOB
Well known UnioniSt Has Active
Campaign Committee;
Feels Optimistic.

Walter Johnson, candidate for
sheriff. spent the past week campaign
ing on the ranges. He states that he
is we'll satisfied with the situation and
is optimistic about the election.
II will be one of the nominees at
the primaries" he asserts, land I
confidently expect to be elected in
November. My friends throughout
the county are working enthusiastical-
ly in my behalf, I find myself
stronger in every locality than 1 was
Two years ago."
Mr.. Johnson's fellow workmen in
1uluth have organized militant COM
,:ittee, and they are working like
Irojans in his behalf. This commit
tee is headed by w. e. Hammond of
the Theatrical Stage Employees union,
of which organization Mr.. Johnson is
a member. A complete and system
attic canvass of the county is being
made.
Workingmen are taking a keen in
terest in the election of a sheriff
They want a man in that office who

will give them a square deal, one who
will enforce the law without fear or
favor, who will not serve any particu-
lar interest Or interests at their ex-
pense, particularly during strikes.
Labor does not ask for the best of it.
The laws protect WOrkingmen in their
rights, and all they ask is that these
laws be honestly and unfortunately
enforced.
Mr.. Johnson understands fully the
position of workingmen with refer
ence to the duties of sheriff. He is a
workingman and depends upon his
daily wage for d livelihood. He be-
gan life as a newsboy on the streets
of Duluth. He next learned the wood
working business and was for many
years prominently identified with the
Woodworkers' union, serving as de-
legate from that union in the Trades
and Labor Assembly and the State
Federation of Labor where he dis
tinguished himself for his courageous,
manly and straightforward qualities
During the administration of Henry
Truelsen as mayor of Duluth, Mr.
johnson was appointed on the staff
of the city engineer. He became very
proficient in that office and served
the city with distinction and honor
for number of years. The late Gov
Hammond appointed him deputy oil
Inspector for st. Louis county, holding
the position until the expiration of his
term.
Mr.. Johnson has always taken an
active interest in local labor and po-
litical matters, and his sympathies
have always been on the side of the
under dog. Wherever men of action
were he was always found where he
was most needed. His friends are
many, and all are working earnestly
for his election.

ton to this Thor Thorsen, president Of
the local, was discharged by z. D.

Although the members of the union
were on the verge of striking, they re-
sorted to every means to reach a set
,tlement, finally appealing to the state
arbitration board.
Last week r. F. Schroeder, a men,
Der of the board, made an investiga-
ton of the controversy and finally set
the date for a hearing. It" is said that
Mr.. Thorsen and J. A. Johnson, Sec
| rotary of the union, will be sub
penaed to appear before the board in
St. Paul, while z. D. Scott will rep
resent the employers.

John Bennett to a man. Mr.. Bennett
is candidate for representative in the

Il working agreement and wage scale
