MARINE BY FORCE.

How a doughboy unwittingly be-
came a marine and the difficulties
he experienced in getting away
from the soldiers of the sea has
just been developed. Sergeant
Friedman, dental corps, U. S. A,
after service in France, boarded a
transport home that was loaded
with marines. On arrival in the
United States he went with the
marines to their camp at Quanti-
CO., Va. There he found himself a
gyrene with no chance
of getting back to the army. No
one at Quantico had authority to
transfer him and it looked like
Friedman was to remain a marine
however, he was allowed
to go to Washington and present
his case to army officers. Last week
he was transferred to the doughboy
camp at Camp Meade, Md.

This was the largest plurality ever

Largest Coal Mine in
World Sealed Tight After
Flames Break Out
BY Associated Press

BicknelI, Ind, Nov. S.-American n
No. mine, said to be the largest
bituminous coal mine in the world,
which was discovered on fire last
night, has been completely sealed
to-day, after workmen had toiled
frantically practically all night. Be-
cause of the SIZE of the mine and
the valuable machinery it contained,
the fire is said to be one of the
most disastrous in the country. The
mine is entirely electrically equipped,
not a mule being used in it.
Ordinarily $50 men are employed
and the mine has a capacity of 5000
tons of coal daily. Only twenty one
men, including bumpers and en-
gineers, were employed when the
fire was discovered and these were
rescued.
The cause of the fire had not
been determined to-day. Although
the employees of the mine are on
strike, more than a hundred gath
cred about the shaft as soon. as the
alarm was sounded and vol,tAteered
to fight the fire, as evidence, they
said, that they had no connection
with the fire.

Harrisburg River Front
as Model Makes Big
Vote For improvements

Harrisburg's river front develop
ment was the model held up before
/ the voters of the Tarentum district,
at their election this week, when the
question of providing river park
by bond issue was placed before the
public for decision at the polls, ac-
cording to an announcement from.
the Harrisburg Chamber of Com
merce this morning.
The movement for bond issue
to provide a river front development
similar to that along the Susque-
hanna in Harrisburg was foStered
by the Allegheny Valley Chamber of
Commerce, whose activities embrace
Tarentum, Breckenridge, Natrona,
and their contiguous territories. The
Allegheny valley organization credits
the cooperation furnished by the
Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce as
one of the prime reasons for the
success of the loan issue. The local
Chamber furnished information and
newspaper illustrations for the
western districts newspapers i'll
order that the popular approval of
the loan could be secured. The let
ter acknowledging the value of this
service received from the Allegheny
Valley Chamber is as follows:
We were able to use the cuts in
our local papers Monday, and con-
tribute a considerable portion of our
success at the election to the views
of the Harrisburg river front i'm

You may be interested in learn
| ing that while the park issue was
carried, it carried by very slender
margin, and the help furnished by
your organization may we'll be con-
sidered a decided factor in the re-

COUNCIL GUSTS
OFFICER GRVIN
Methodist Minister at Waynes-
boro Leads in Demand For
Policeman's Discharge

WayncsborO; Pa, Nov. S.-State
Policeman Girvin lost his job here
when the Rev. Wilford =. Shriner,
pastor of the Methodist Church, ap-
peared before coHncil and demanded
that the officer be discharged for
conduct unbecoming an officer. 1t
did not mollify the parson when
Councilman j. w. Croft said that
perhaps it would not be wise to act
at once. DR.. Shriner said he pro-
posed to remain in the council
chamber until the matter was set
tied, and stay he did.
On Halloween night Girvin saw
the red light in Center Square flash
a danger signal. He answered the
call and was told there was trouble
at the Methodist Church. Arriving
there, he found the auditorium in
semi-darkness and a Halloween en-
tertainment going on. Girvin flashed
his light among the maskers, finally
coming upon Irving G. Hall, who
was wearing garb closely reserm-
bling that worn by monks. Dr.
Shriner says the policeman used
rough language. Girvin admits he
spoke sharply, saying in effect, This
is not the time to mock at another
religion"
With seven members of his church
the Methodist parson appeared be-
fore the council at a special meet
ing on Thursday evening and de-
manded Girvin's immediate dis
charge. Burgess Myers told the
council the officer with whom he
had talked intended no overstepping
of authority, saying that if he had
transgressed it was his first offense.
He asked that he be given hear
ing and a chance.
Girvin was summoned tn told ris
side of the story. -Four of the SIX
councilmen voted to let him out.
One of them voted in Girvins favor
and another was absent. DR.. Shriner
told the councilmen the costume
worn by Hall was not the costume
of a priest, but rather that of
rabbi. Hall said he first had worn
the costume at a cantanta.
The Rev. FIR. Edward O'Flynn said
yesterday the costume worn by Hall
very much resembled that worn by
monks OF the Catholic church, men
living under the rule apart from
the world.
