CHECK FOR $500
BRINGS MILLIONS
Given on Banter Makes Doctor
Part Owner Of Gas Gusher.

McKeesport, Pa, Jan. E.-Sudden
wealth, such as he little dared dream,
has come the way Of DR.. D. P. Blose
from the investment of 5000 which he
kissed good-by" when the check for
that amount passed into the hands of
D. A. Foster, the gas Croesus Of Nc
Keesport.
Today DR.. Blose counts his wealth
in seven figures, and it is rapidly
mounting skyward as a result Of the
check he handed his friend at the
club and then forgot.
When the now famous Foster well
was projected DR.. Blose, with some
friends, was enjoying an evening at
the Youghiogheny Country Club. Re-
peatedly urged to 60 into the venture
Of seeking gas in the Snake Hollow
field, the doctor smilingly refused. FL
nally one Of his friends banteringly
declared that he was "too tight to take
q chance" No sooner had this asser.
ton been made than the physician
pulled out his checkbook, scrubbed off
check for $500, and said.
II shall do my best to forget it, but
I'll show you people tina. I will take
as long chance as any man in the
crowd" With this fling DR.. Blose
lifted the check to his lips, kissed it
goodbye" and proceeded to forget it
in the congenial surroundings. A few
weeks later DR.. Blose with his mother
and sister, went to Atlantic City for
a short sojourn. While there a mes
sage reached him as follows: "Con-
gra.ulations. You are a millionaire.
Foster-Brendel well came in today,
now flowing over sixty million feet
daily"
That was in August and since the
day the pioneer well and gusher of the
greatest gas bel. in the world came in
it has steadily held its flow, averag-
ing about 100000 feet Of gas daily.
It is owned by close corporation and
every shareholder now is rated as a
millionaire. The stock in the Foster
gusher has par value of 500 a
share. The last quotation was $4,000
offered.

Crew Demanded Stamps.

Clean up day on the battleship New
Jersey means something more than
hard work to the gobs on board that
craft. 1t means a decided addition to
the ships fund that is drawing inter-
est in the form of War Savings
Stamps. While the war ship was
anchored in Boston harbor recently,
the crew gathered up all the obsolete
ships fittings, cast off jumpers and
other clothing, books and papers and
sought out a junk dealer. The dealer
was willing to pay cash for the junk
offering but the crew demanded pay
ment in War Savings Stamps and got
it. All condemned material on board
is being carefully stored away in
preparation for another clean up.

OWNERS OF BOOZE
Get 4 JOLT
The Enforcement Rules Are
Drastic.
MUST CHECK UP STOCK
Owners of Liquor Stores Outside Prl-
vate Homes Must Prove Purchase
Prior to July I, 1919.

Philadelphia, Jan. n.-Owners of
large private stocks of liquor who
have been gloating over the advant-
ages they expected to enjoy after mid
night of January 16, when the eigh-
teenth amendment TO the constitution
becomes effective, are due for a rude
awakening when they learn the details
of restrictions based on the Volstead
act to enforce prohibition.
Under the direction of John T. Kra-
mer, federal prohibition commissioner,
deputies in ten national districts have
been organizing a complex machinery
of enforcement. The rules back of
this are the most drastic and far
reaching in the history of the country,
permitting wider latitude to the gov
eminent laws for purchase, use and
transportation of explosives and The
most deadly poisons.
In addition, the machinery of prose-
cution Is to be backed up by state or
CARNATIONS, each headed by govern
ment agent, the duty of which will b
to control the legal use of liquor un-'
der permits as provided for in the
law. These organizations will be the
rallying point for existing state and
national bodies such as the Anti-Sa-
loon League.
Liquor men peddling their excess
stocks to wealthy tiplers nave been
saying for months that the govern
ment would have no means of check

REvISIONISTS HEAR
HOME RULE PLANS
Amendments Would Affect Stat.
US Of PhiIa eIphia.

Harrisburg, Pa, Dec. 14.--PrOposed
amendments of particular interest TO
Philadelphia are under discussion at
the session of the constitution revision
commission meeting in the senate
chamber.
William Perrine, of Philadelphia.
offered in the committee on municipal
affairs the following proposed amend
ment:
''In cities whose boundaries are CO.
extensive with the county in which
the city is located, all courts of record
other than constitutional courts and
all courts no. of record, the sheriff,
recorded of deeds, register of wills
and all other officials, heretofore
known as county officers, shall be sub
ject to financial allowances and sup
port from the city council to the same
extent as are the regular government
al departments of such municipality"
Mr.. Perrine also introduced as a
basis for discussing the following pro-
posal as an amendment to section
of the present constitution:
"All cities of more than one million
inhabitants shall have the power
without legislation or other interfer-
ence or control, to provide for and
fully regulate transportation over
their streets and highways by street
cars and other vehicles carrying pas
sengers for hire, 10 regulate the laying
out of highways, creation of parks,
boulevards and parkways and to con-
troll the kind and character of improve
ments to be permitted or erected
thereon, to control their own munich
pal affairs in the exercise of the police
power Of the state in all matters of
public policy relating to the daily
lives of the people within such
cities"
The adoption of state budget plan
and an amendment providing for the
abolition, of fees for county officers
were approved by the constitution re-
vision commission sitting as a COM
mittee of the whole in the senate
chamber
The amendment to abolish fees pro-
vides the compensation of county Of
ficers shall be regulated by law, and
all fees be paid into the treasury.
Officials shall be paid only by salary.

fng up on private owners. The an
swer 20 this was the ruling Of the in
ternal revenue department that all
owners must report stocks held out
side their residences within zen days
after constitutional prohibition be-
comes effective.
The next blow was the ruling that
liquor so held may not be used for
beverage purposes under and condi-
tons except those of permit govern
ing the sale to druggists, and by them
to patients on medical prescriptions.
In other words, the owner Is limited
to the personal use Of what liquor he
may store in his home.
For owners Of big mansions this
carries no terrors. But for those who
live in apartments 1t spells doom. For
the law provides that man may not
rent room at club and call it his
home. He may keep liquor in lock-
er at his club, but he cannot have it
on the dining table. And he cannot
take drink himself at the locker, but
only in his room.
This ruling is reached under the
provision of the law that liquor pri-
va+ely owned may not be consumed in
public places. The department has
decided that a locker room is a pub
lis place. So also with a club dining
room, no matter how exclusive.
To buyers of liquor in wholesale
lots wartime prohibition was a joke.
They found no difficulty, and are find
ing none now, in getting all the case
goods their pockets can stand. But
little joker in the Volstead act, effec-
tive on January 16, puts a crimp in
this system.
1t is provided that he owner of
liquor stored outside private resi-
dence must be prepared to prove that
he owned i. prior to July 1, 1919,
when wartime prohibition went into
effect. Failure to prove this automati.
cally makes the liquor con.raband,
subject to seizure, and it's owner sub
ject to fine for violation of the law.
Newberry Appeal Fails.
Grand Rapids, Mich, Jan. 13-Va-
lidity of the indictments against Sem
ator Newberry and 1874 others, charg-
ed with violating the election laws in
the 1918 senatorial election, was up
held by Federal Judge Sessions. He
dismissed the demurrer filed by coun-
sci for the indicted men.

planned in an interview here
DeValera and his followers, who

Irish politics, are at the present time
launching campaign throughout
America for the purpose OF raising
S10,000,000 for the use of the unrecog-

amount, DeValera stated, is errone-
GUS.
He explained that Americans who
contributed to the $10,000000 cam
paign will receive certificates that
such contributions have been made.
Then, when the Irish republic" is in

said, the certificates may be exchang-

ALLIES DECLARE PEACE
WITH GERMANY
Only the U. S. is Actively al
War With TGutOnS.

Paris, Jan. 12.-Ratifications of
ed, and peace between Germany,
France, Great Britain and the other
allied and associated powers with the
exception of the United States, be-
came effective Saturday afternoon.
There were eleventh-hour rumors of
a further postponement, but these
proved to be groundless.
The outstanding comment on the
ceremony is that it leaves the United
States the only power which was ac-
lively at war with Germany not now
on a peace basis. That was the note
sounded by Baron Kurt Won Lersner,
head Of the German peace delegation,
in statement to the press Immediate
ly after the ceremony.
ST am naturally happy that peace
has finally become effective" Baron
vonLersner said. my great regret
Is that the United States is the only
country with which Germany is still
In a state of war. I hope, however,
that this situation will soon be chang
ed.
Execution of the treaty of Versail-
les imposes upon Germany the heavi-
est sacrifices ever borne by a nation
In modern times. We lost in the west
and In the east Of territories that be-
longed to Prussia for many centuries.
We have assumed enormous economic
obligations. Nevertheless, 1 am glad
that peace is at last re-established
because it will give back to Germany
her beloved sons still prisoners
abroad"
Asked as to execution of the terms
Of the treaty, Baron Won Lersner de-
clared that Germany was ready and
determined to do her utmost.
What Yves Did.
Yves Whittle, a teamster down in
Lowell, Ark, was so patriotic during
the fall Of 1918, before the Hun was
finally vanquished, that he put a
mortgage on his team and wagon for
$50 and bought War Savings Stamps
Ia his desire to do his duty by the
government. Some thought Yves was
doing more than his financial strength
warranted. But he just went down
into the woods, cut up fuel and sold
It and the mortgage was soon lifted.
Now Yves is buying more stamps, be-
cause he realizes their value and finds
he can save.
