Pittsburg, July 2o.-The body of one
of the nine men who were entombed
yesterday by an explosion in mine at

TELLTALE SUITCASE.
1t Disclosed Liquor When MuH
Got on Wrong Train and Re-
fused to Pay Fare.

Leon Muff, who said he was from
Chester, Pa, was arrested last night by
Constable Tinsman on the charge of
transporting intoxicating liquor without
a permit, and also for trespassing on the
property Of the Pennsylvania railroad.
Muff was presumably heading for Balti-
more, as he had a railroad ticket to that
city. However, he boarded the wrong
train and was headed down the Delaware
road At New Castle he was asked by the
conductor for his ticket. He refused to
give the trainman either his ticket or
money. At Clayton an officer boarded
the train to put him off. In moving Muff's
two suitcases one came open and dis
closed two large jugs of liquor. He was
then placed under arrest and sent back
to Wilmington.
When examined here he told the officers
that he had purchased the liquor in
Marcus Hook at $50 gallon. He had in
all 500 worth of the stuff, it was said.
He had no money on him, and the ticket
from Chester to Baltimore, with few
bars of chocolate, was all that was found
in his clothes
He is being held for court.

RESISTING BOLSHEyIKI
ADVANCE IN ARMENIA

Tifis, Trans-Caucasia, July 2o.-Gen-
eral Dro, guerilla leader with 10000
mountain tribesmen in Nakhitchevan, is
waging a ruthless war on Tartars who
cross the Armenian boundaries and is
preventing the Bolsheviki from capturing
Armenia, according to observers.
General Dro threw a bomb at the ty-
ranical governor of Baku in 1904 He
fought with the Russians in the early
part of the European war, was wounded
and was decorated by Emperor Mich las
in the hospital at Tifiis. He is magnetic,
small man of about 40, wears no uniform
and his soldiers call him merely Dro.
He does not disguise his hatred for the
Bolsheviki. He operates Independently
of the main Armenian army and is gener-
ally respected and feared by the rough
bands which blindly follow him These
bands wage guerilla warfare mercilessly.
They lack ammunition and consequently

REDUCTION is EXPLAINED

The following statement was issued
from the office Of w. w. Atterbury, vice
president in charge Of operation of the
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad late yesterday.
concerning the current reduction Of force
"In order to bring about improved
efficiency in the operating forces and
to curtail expenses as far as practicable
it has been found necessary TO effect
reduction of approximately 10 per cent
in the number of employees in the eastern
region of the Pennsylvania Railroad system
Many Of these men will be needed at other
points in the system, particularly in the
central region, in and about Pittsburg
and every endeavor will be made to find
places for as many as possible.
The eastern region, IN which the present
surplus exists embraces the territory serv-
ed by the Pennsylvania system lines
lying east of Altoona Pa, south of New
York and north of Washington and Nor
folk, and includes four grand divisions
of the system.
Care will be exercised in making the
contemplated changes not ts interfere
in any way with the ability to handle
traffic or to make prompt repairs TO cars
and locomotives"
LOCAL SITUATION.
About $50 employees, according 10
information obtained here today, viii be
affected on the Southern Grand Division,
which comprises the Maryland, Delaware,
Baltimore and Norfolk subdivisions
There will be 10 per cent reduction in
the clerical force in all department, and
10 per cent reduction In the maintain
ance of equipment department, or shop
force. There will be no reduction In the
maintenance of way, or among traInmen.
The forces TO go on the Southern Grand
Division will be distributed between
Wilmington, Baltimore, Cape Charles
and Benr ings. There Will be $50 clerks
and 700 shopmen, some of whom live and
work in Wilmington, and others in the
other places mentioned. The order is
effective on Thursday of this week. 1t
is in accordance with the national agree
ment, In which the newer employees are
the ones TO 60 first, the railroad recognix-
ing seniority.
The reason, the railroad explained 10
day, was that there has been an unfavor-
able deficit, and has no connection with
the Wage Boards action or any strike.
1t is merely an economic question, which
has resulted In the necessity for cutting
down the force. As q matter of fact, the
company has been paving the way for
this for some time by making gradual
reductions.
All told about 1900 employees Of the
PENNSYLVANIA railroad are affected.
