he was released to return to his home
in the United States.
Private Garno stated that although
he did not receive especially brutal
treatment at the hands of his captors,
such treatment was not at all UNI
common. The worst feature of his
internment was the lack of food to
which the prisoners were subjected.
Their breakfast consisted invariably
of cup of so-called coffee, and
slice of black bread about as thick
as sheet of paper" For dinner
they received a small portion of the
famous stew" For supper the menu
of the morning was repeated. The
prisoners of war were required to
labor in coal mine, for which they
received the muniiicent daily remu
neration of nine cents, When asked
If they were allowed tobacco and

er, A. T. Lynch of Bradford and driv-

at the wheel stayed with the car to
the bottom of the embankment where
the machine landed bottom side up.
Both men seemed to be free of seri-
Gus injury and walked to the Hotel

BROUGHT BACK PYGMY HIPPO
Hunter Spent Weary Months in Jun
giles to Prove That the Species
Really Existed.

1t seems incredible, but there exist
hippopotami that do not exceed so
inches In height. For long while mo-
body believed tat there were any
pygmy hippos in Liberia. The natives
insisted that the Hippopotamus Lib
eriensis lived deep in the forests; but
that was another reason why explorers
and hunters shook their heads In In
credulity. The hippopotamus lives
along the rivers, they said, and this
talk about pygmies of this species in
the forests is nonsense.
Nevertheless a pygmy hippo was
caught as far back as 1878, and
brought from Africa to the geological
gardens in Dublin. 1t might have con-
WINGED the world, only 1t arrived In n
dying condition, and persisted before
1t could be exhibited. After that, peo-
pie took to doubling 1t again, and
considered the one recorded specimen
as a freak But Carl Hagenback, the
famous animal man, made up his mind.
at last, that the pygmy hippo could
be, and should be, introduced to man.
He sent an intrepid hunter, Schom-
burgk, after 1t, and Schomburgk, after
spending year and half in the jun
gle reappeared with three pygmy
beasts, two of which We're at once
brought to the New York zoo and
placed on exhibition.-Ne York Her

manding the result of the conference
at Indianapolis. The one question
which all the locals wanted to ask
was: rs the strike over?"
The miners of District IA, apparent
ly will re-elect the Howat regime of
district officers by an enormous
plurality at the regular biennial cleo
tion held this afternoon, showing
their Endorsement of the Howat pol
icy and the policy of the other ma
tional officers.
Gov. Henry J. Allen is planning a
special investigation on behalf of the
state, it was announced last night,
which is expected to start at once.
Governor Allen said tonight he had
not completed his plans for the in
vestigation and would announce just
what line it would take and thru what
tion it would be conducted, later. He
said it did not have any connection
with the investigation commission
suggested in the proposal for a strike
settlement.
1t is understood, also. in connection
with the refusal of the union miners
to go to work for the receivers IN this
district without contract, that the
governor does not propose to make a
contract binding the state with the
union. If the miners persist in their
announced intention of not working
for the state unless the state signs a
union contract the same as the oper-
ators, settlement in District l 4 may be

has announced there is no chance for

ing Shows Much Evidence.
Was Started by Complaint of
Sen. Capper of Kansas.

Washington, Dec. characterization
of fuel oil prices, initiated by Attorney
General Palmer has disclosed much
evidence for prosecution of refiners on
charges of profiteering officials at the
department of justice said today in
federal court at Pittsburgh against
officials of the Trans-continentaI Oil
Co.
Senator Capper of Kansas, upon
whose complaint the investigation of
fuel oil prices was started, reiterated
today his. charge that the refiners had
taken advantage of the coal shortage
to demand exorbitant prices for fuel
oil from mid-western Industrial plants.
In reply, representatives of the refin-
erS made the charge that the embargo
against east-bound fuel oil skipmen; S
placed by the railroad administration,
was the result of a campaign ''engin-
eered by Kansas City business men,"
Fayette B.. Dow, representative of the
Western Petroleum Refiners' associa-
tion here, declared that the campaign
for the embargo was a direct drive to
force down the price of fuel oil, add
ing that there was no need for the
EN- barge and that it was unjust and
unfair
Mr.. Dow arranged today for a COM
mittee representing the refiners to see
Director General Hines and Mr.. Pal
mer. Friday. Members of the COM
mittee expected to come to Washing

Perriott, president of the Trans-conti-

court here yesterday to answer to the
charge of selling fuel oil at unjust and
unreasonable prices.
The prosecution said to be the first
of it's kind, was brought under the
food and fuel act of 1917, and alleges
that the company sold fuel oil at
prices ranging from $3.50 to 81 bar
