CIearfield, Pa, April 23.-H. w.
Hess, a widely-known civil engineer
of this place, yesterday answered the
death note" of Miss Jean Katherine
Baird, novelist and head of the wo-
mans department of Beaver Col
lege, Pa, who committed suicide
Saturday night, supposedly because
of her hopeless love for Hess. APP
parently but little affected by the
dramatic note, inflicting a curse up
an his newly-married life. Hess said:
Miss Baird was a word-painter
and inclined to draw on her imagi-
nation. If she was infatuated with
me, that was her own lookout. Twen-
ty-five years ago l led her on, L ad-
nit, but l was married about that
time and forgot about her. Wheh
my wife died, L was in correspond.
ence with and saw Miss Baird at
times. A week ago / was married the
second time. l can say that since
our boy-and-girl affair of twenty-five
years ago there has been nothing
more than a friendship between MISS
Baird and myself"
The last words penned by Miss
Baird were found in her room by
the college authorities after they had
broken down the door of her room
and discovered her body They were
as follows:
you have taken everything from
mo but nv honor. l thank God |

dead face will step etween you:
your lips will never touch hers out
my dead lips will be there first.

The wage increase will date from
January l and the director-general
passes along the broad hint that the
increase. will be four months vel

of it than in turning this to the
support of the war. while they will

To us whether Senator Penrose or
Senator Ware wins out?" asks the
Bishop.
In his reference to the candidates
for the governorship. Bishop Berry
does not endorse Mr.. Sproul or Mr..

the election of a Governor and Lieu

In part. the Bishop says: II am
wondering whether the average citi-
zen realizes the full significance of
the elections held last week in the
state of New York. If anyone had
predicted a year ago that eighteen
cities OF the second class would by
this time outlaw the rum traffic he

LAWYERS FIGHT
ASECOND TRIAL
Tell Judges Statement by Wit
ness That He Gave False
Testimony Is Untrue

Declaring the statement that chief
witness in a civil suit said after he
left the stand that he had testified
falsely was not true. and that there
was. al conspiracy against Mr.. and
Mrs. George II. Albright. who mare
than year ago were given a verdict
of $500 against the Harrisburg Rail
ways Company, counsel for the AL
brights appeared to-day in Argument
Court before Judges s. ]. NJ. McCar-
rell and c. V. Henry to fight the mo-
tion of attorneys for the company,
who want the Judgment set aside and
their motion for a new trial reinstat-
ed
The motion for n new trial was de-
MED MED the company last year by the
filed that Isaac Kissinger, chief wit
ness in the Albright case. had ad-
mitted he testified falsely. Counsel
for the. AlbrIghts to-day declared to
show that Kissinger would repeat his
former testimony on the stand, de-
spite the statement of the defense
that private detective, brought here
and finally got the confession from
him in the presence of two other de-
tectives.
Evidence now before the Court
shows that a private detective spent
three months last year in Kissingers S
home, 1914 North Front street, finally
taking the old streetsweeper to an
other house uptown, where the con-
fession was made. 1t is said Kissinged
admitted he did not see the accident
in which Mrs. Albright was injured; /;
that he testified falsely and was paid
$25 to do so. Counsel for the prose-
cutors filed their depositions taken
from Mrs. Jane Saunders, with whom
Kissinger resided. and also Kissingers
statement in which he denies the pri-
vate detectives expose and declares
his testimony on the stand in Novem-
ber, 1916, was true.
The attorneys, in speaking to the
Court. said letters they sent Kissinger
and Mrs. Saunders did not reach them,
and also referred to letter which Mr..
Albright received in Philadelphia and
which was supposedly written by Kis-
singer. Kissinger can neither read
nor write, lit was asserted.
1t was explained to the judges that
Kissinger was only located after a
long search. as he hard moved from
the city The Albrights at the time
of the accident resided uptown. Mrs.
Albright was hurt, it was said. when
she was hurled from the step of a
street car at Sixth and Geary streets,
suffering severe injury.

autumn when the voters of the EN-
pire State will elect a Legislature
pledged to the ratification of the pro-
hibitory amendment. New York has
been considered even more hopeless
than Pennsylvania. But you may
now count upon both of them to out
law booze upon the first possible OPP
portunity."
Prospects Bright
What are the prospects of elect
ing ratification Legislature in
Pennsylvania? They are very good,
indeed. Western and Central Penn
sylvania are electric with prohibition
enthusiasm. Even the Wilkes Barre
and Scranton region, whore L spent
all last week, a territory in which
rum has had a dominating influence,
is now in the grip or a temperance
agitation such as has never been
known.
THE only peril 1 can see in the
general situation is the recent devel-
opment of another spasm of bitter
factionalism within the Republican
party. Why do citizens consider 1T
so all-important to align themselves
on one side or the other of this fool
ish factional war? Why cannot the
sober citizens learn a lesson from the,
brewery saloon crowd? That crowd
has absolute unity. It's adherents
stand together. 1t throws factional-
ism to the winds.
Under existing conditions the
election of a Governor and Lfeuten-
ant Governor are matters of minor
Importance. The major matter is the
nomination and election of Senators
and Assemblymen who may be de-
pended upon to ratify the proaibi-
tory amendment. The increased reg
istration in certain wards of this city
shows an awak ening interest In this
paramount issue. But whether TINS
awakening is as widespread and
thorough as it ought to be remains to
be seen.
How any patriotic citizen can be
Indifferent to the situation is more
than 1 can understand. This is Penn
sylvania's opportunity Just such an
to strike to its death the
murderous liquor trade may not soon
come again. There are enough sober
citizens in Pennsylvania to bury the
Infamous business under an ava
lanche of ballots-and bury it so deep
it can have no resurrection

NEW SHOES WON'T
HURT AFTER THIS
Cincinnati man tells how to
shrlveI up eorns so they
lift out.

Ouch ?! -! This kind of
rough talk will be heard less here in
town If people troubled with corns
will follow the simple advice of this
Cincinnati authority, who claims that
few drops of drug called freezone
when applied to a tender, aching
corn stops soreness at once, and soon
the corn dries up and lifts right out
without pain.
He says freezone is a sticky sub
stance which dries Immediately and
never infiames or even irritates the
surrounding tissue or skin. A quarter
of an ounce, which will cost very lit
tie at any drug store, is said to be
sufficient to remove every hard or
soft corn or Callus from ones feet.
Millions of American women will
welcome this announcement since the
inauguration of the high heels.
