DEATH FOLLOWS ACCIDENT
NOT CONSIDERED SERIOUS.
Patient Died In Hospital Under
AnaeSthetic,

Raymond Ebeley, who lived in the
tenant house on the S. ]. Reynolds
farm, near town, met with an acci-
dent on Sunday afternoon, about
three o'clock that was not consider
ed serious, but led to his death in
Union Hospital, Elkton, about six
o'clock that evening.
Ebeley had borrowed gun to
shoot blackbirds that were devas-
tating his garden. While carrying the
weapon, muzzle down, under his
arm, it was accidentally discharged,
the load tearing away a portion of
the gdeat toe of his right foot.
The physician summoned deemed
it advisable to take the patient to
Union Hospital, Elkton, in order
that the end of the shattered toe
might be amputated, and Ebeley
was taken to the Hospital and placed
under an anaesthetic, when he COL
lapsed before regaining conscious
ness, death resulting.
Ebeley saw service with the Amer
ican forces in France, where he was
"gassed" and the theory is that this
rendered him an unfit subject for
an anaesthetic. He was 28 years of
age and had been married but few
months. His wife survives. The
funeral was held Thursday after
noon, with interment at Union
cemetery, Fremont. Pa.

ARMY COST is
SMALL COMPARED
WITH LUXURIES
Country Spent Far More for Candy
and Chewing Gum Than
for Army in 1921.

Washington, ID. c.. Nov. IL (By the
Associated Pressl Federal tax returns
have been given curious applications in
connection with problems now before
the conference on limitation of arma-
ment. Statisticians for the government
have labored hard TO bring the relative
figures as to military expenditures and
the amounts spent by the people of
the country for amusements and minor
luxuries out so sharply that their sig
nifcance would be seen at glance.
One set Of tablets shows that against
s4ls.000.000 spent for the army in
1921. the country consumed $3.50, ,000,-
900 in candy and chewing gum; ss34.-
00o,000 In soda and confections, and

NAVY YARDS TO BE RETAINED.
No Proposal to Scrap Them Contained
in Program.

Washington, d. G., Nov. l7.-tBy the
Associated Press The British sug
gestion that each of the naval powers
retain at least one naval building yard
capable of turning out one ship year
does not appear to be understood by
American naval officers. particularly
those familiar with construction prob
lens. There was no suggestion in the
American limitation proposals that
any yards be scrapped and so far as
navy facilities in this country are con-
cerned, all will be needed, it is said, in
the maintenance and repair of the re-
tanned fleet.
If the British suggestion, wholly
informal one, as vet so far as
known, has 10 do with providing means
for insuring the advancement of naval
engineering knowledge during the pro-
posed ten year holiday. there is no
doubt that it will receive much ap-
proval among American naval offices.
That aspect Of the holiday proposal al
ready has appealed TO technical ex-
perts of the United States. They have
assumed that this would be covered in
the final form of the holiday agree
ment.
One thing that many officers hope
will be possible under the limitation
program is that the navy can be kept
in better shape at all times than was
possible with the larger fleets and ex-
tensive work on new programs.

ing Advantage, Called
For Action Monday

Boston, Nov. l7.--The supreme court
to-day denied motion for delay in
action on the petition of Attorney Cen
eral Allen for the removal from Office
Of District Attorney Joseph g. Pelle-
tier. The decision was announced by
Chief Justice Rugg in open court.
Attorney General Allen, who with
Pelletier was present by direction Of
the court, then moved that the plead
ings in the case be ordered completed
by Monday The court took this mo-
ton under adyisement.
District Attorney Pelletier had asked
for postponement of pleadings until
january because, he said, his candl-
dacv for mayor would occup much
of his attention until after the elec-
tion day next month, and because he
felt the proceedings would not have
been brought at this time il he were
not a candidate.
The attorney general, who filed the
charges against Pelletier alleging yarI-
ious instances of misconduct, contend
cd that political considerations should
not be permitted to interfere with the
prosecution of the charges.
In denying Pelletier's motion, the
court said the decision was without
prejudice to the right Of the district
attorney to renew il after pleadings
had been completed.
II would be virtually impossible TO
complete proceedings before next Mon.
day, Mr.. Pelletier said, adding that spe-
ciar pleas were TO be prepared and be
onght to have at least a month TO meet
the charges OF the attorney general.
One witness, he said, was out OF the
country and he did not know where
to find him.
Referring to Mr.. Pelletier's mayoral-
ty campaign, Attorney General Allen
called attention to an alleged steno-
graphic record remarks derogatory to
the court said to have been made BY
the district attorney at public gath
ering.
"A public officer under oath TO main
tain the honor of this and other courts
has assailed the honor of this court
during the time he has asked TO have
this case stayed" Mr.. Allen said. In
view Of these statements | ask that
summary action be taken"
Mr.. Pelletier, in reply, said that IN
asking further he was doing only what
he consolidated fair, adding that there
were paragraphs in the attorney gener-
ais petition OF such general and indef-
mite matter that they ought never to
have been filed,
