A NEW INVENTION PLACED IN
USE.

The Continental Packing Corpora
tion Subsidiary of the American
Cone & Pretzel Company, an r. L..
Dollings Company industry,) is this
season using the first successful to-
mato peeling machine ever construct
ed. and President l.. J. Schumacher Is
enthusiastic over it's accomplishments
during its test at the Long Branch
plant on the Florida Farms. The ma
chine. which was devised by Cali
fornia inventor and built at Baltimore
saves one-half the labor cost and re-
duces by about 20 per cent. the toma-
to waste unavoidable in peeling by
hand.
The machine is some twenty-five
feet long and is complete within itself,
embracing equipment for scalding
the tomatoes and removing the skins.
Having served its purpose in Florida
this season, it is now being removed
to the Company's plant at Mt. Vernon,
Illinois. for use there.
Mr.. Schumacher is elated that his
company was the first in the world
TO be offered the use of this peeler,
and he believes it will revolutionize
the industry OF packing tomatoes and
making eatsup, chilli sauce and other
tomato products. The Continental
Packing Corporation will use two Q!
the machines, transferring them from
plant to plant in the wide territory
it covers, as needed during their diff
fering tomato packing seasons.

VIM. STULTz COMMITS
MURDER
KILLS POLICEMAN JOHN ADAMS AND
SHOOTS TWO DEPUTIES WHO At
TEMPTED TO LEVY ON AUTOMOBILE
WAS BORN IN UNIONTOWN.

Meeting two deputies at the door,
as they came to levy on his automo-
bile to satisfy a debt, William A.
Stultz. of Frederick, opened fire with
shotgun, wounding both men, and
| later when Policeman John Adams of
| the Frederick force came to the as
sistance of the two deputies he was
shot and instantly killed.
After killing Adams and wounding
the two deputies Stultz barricaded
himself in his home and fought off a
mob bent on lynching him, until he
was arrested through the ruse of a
attorney and rushed to Baltimore for
protection.
Stultz had borrowed SIS from a
physician in Westminster several
years ago. The loan had accumulated
interest until it amounted to $50. 1t is
said that Stultz objected to paying,
with the results that suit was brought
by the doctor and an attempt made
to levy on the automobile for salts
faction.
Two deputies, Charles W. Smith
and Allen Bartzis, were given the pa
pers to serve. AS they approached the
house Stultz appeared in the doorway
with a shotgun in his hands.
stand back. I'm going to shoot"
he Is said to have called to the men.
Suiting action to his words, he fired
The shot struck Smith in the legs and
he dropped, calling to his companion
to hurry for doctor Allen started to
run, but beforea he had reached the
f1,n IoINt
ond time. the contents of the shell
striking him.
The two injured men were hurried
to doctors office. Policeman Adams,
accompanied by Policeman Walsh,
went to the Stultz home.
These two were also met at the
door with a shot gun. Without pre-
liminarv explanation or any questions
StultZ opened fire. The shot entered
Adams head just behind the ear. He
dropped in his tracks dead.
Hundreds of people had collected
in the streets by this time, and Stultz
closed and barricaded the doors and
windows of his home.
Immediately after the shooting of
Smith and Bartzis, Stultz called Attor-
ney Sherman P. Bowers on the tele-
phone. I've just shot a man or two,"
he said. and asked the lawyer what
course he should follow.
The lawyer advised him not to do
any more shooting. Then later when
he heard that Adams had been killed,
he :went to the Stultz house, where
he met the Sheriff When he entered
Stultz had a nve-foot length of two
inch iron pipe in his hand and two
loaded shotguns lying on the table.
A subscription headed by States
Attorney Anders with 5000 has been
started for the widow and five chill
dren of the murdered policeman.
States Attorney Aaron r. Andrews
has requested the judges of the Cir
cult Court to recall the February
Grand Jury Immediately for the pur-
pose of indicting StultZ for the mur-
der of Officer John Adams. The court
now has the request under considera-
tion.
Mr.. Stultz was born and raised in
Uniontown and for many years he
conducted a bicycle repair shop on
Liberty street, this city.

History will probably accord Ia
Arltomo Yamagata a place second
IN interest and Importance to that of
no other Japanese statesman of his
time. We should not except even
the Meiji Emperor. Mutsuhito; for
1amagata was of imperial blood as
we'll as he, was of far greater in
tellectual power and attainments.
and for many more years was a
prominent figure in Japanese pub
he life. Moreover, it was Yam
agata who more than any other
man broke the power of the
Shogunate by his defeat Of its
army under Field Marshal Saieo.
and thus opened the way for the
Mikado to come to his own.
After the War of the Restoration
famagata practically created the
modern japanese military system,
which enabled that country to SUD
press the formidable Satsuma re-
bellion and, later, to vanouish
China and .hen Russia in war. Yet
he was conspicuous and efficient
opponent Of militarism in civil life

Realization

TIE details of the agreements ap-
proved yesterday by the Washington
conference only heighten the impress
sion of exceptional performance and
unqualified success. OF the naval

tary Hughes could say without any
taint of exagccratior that no more
extraordinary or significant treaty
had ever been negotiated 1--WE are
taking he added, "the greatest for
ward step to establish the reign Of
peace.
The naval limitation treaty and
the four power Pacific treaty are the
carnersJones on which an interna-
tional concert in the Far East has
been based. One region Of the globe
has now been delivered from the
menace Of major war. Other
agreements affecting future warfare
have been reached, intended to elimi-
nate barharities like the U-boat's use

ploymcnt # poison gas.
Mr.. Balfour spoke of the Shan
tung settlement as the crowning
work of American diplomacy at the
conference. The honor Of this set
tlement goes also to Great Britain,
France. Japan and China. But the
chief impulse behind it was Amer
lca, for America alone stood out
against the execution Of the Shan
tung article of the Versailles Treaty
to which her peace delegates unhap-
PLY subscribed.
China has been restored to a much
fuller measure of sovereignty. At
" ashln9t0n her weakness has been
her strength, whereas at Paris it
had been her misfortune. This con-
trast measures the distance Travelled

EIe Who Fights and Runs Away

Ihc city administration is at grips
With the Legislature. the Transit
Commission. the Port Authority, the
"igterests" and the hircling press,
jointly and severallv. But Mr.. Hylan
is going to Palm Beach
Mr.. IIylan is for the poor and
against the rich in his pronounce
ments and speeches. Vet when the
cold wind doth blow the manner Of
the rich in avoiding it is good
enough for him. He usually has a
fine time at Palm Beach. Sometimes
he strolls the sands arm and arm
with Mr. Hearst, commenting phlo-
sophically on the joliyfsh and other
ancient life forms he finds there.
Anon he has his photograph taken
in a bathing suit so the world can
see that, like Joe Bailey, he is not
afraid to beard the money devils
In their Gen. Again he sits back in
an afromcbile end reflects that even
II the people down there have got
money they at least know how to
enjoy themselves in the winter time.
just how The administrations bat
Tie against the forces we have named
Will fare in has absence we can't be
sure. It viii probably continue, how
ever. Mr.. Craig has announced that
he isn't going to let the Transit
Commission get away with ANYTHING
Il dogged opposition to it's efforts
can count. The Corporation Coun-
sci may be counted on to spend a
few more lots of $25, 900 in carry
ing the city's case against the state
to the United States Supreme Court.
And Commissioner Copeland will
probably fight just as hard against
the "fu' as if that epidemic still
imperiled the health Of the citv's
chief executive.
We hope that Mr.. Hylan has
good rest and comes back with a
better perspective. Also we trust
that contact with the "idle rich" in
the resort Of their greatest idleness
does not so warp his point Of view
that his heartfelt means for the con-
dition of the poor will ring hollow
on his return

An Innocent Quake

The Pacific readjustment is thor
ough. Repairs are being made even
in the oceans sub-cellar, according
to the tale Of the seisnocraph.
Whether the earthquake is part Of
the smoothing process of the four
power treaty or a reverberation Of
the vocal bombs of William f. Borab
and Hiram Johnson the recording
disks do not tell.
For a shock of such marnitudc
which caused the measuring needles
from Berkeley to Fordham to de-
scribe jazzy lines for six minutes.
this earthquake was well behaved.
Something titanic was going on 300
miles off the coast of Oregon. bat
no more serious results than the
rafting Of dishes were noted on drv
land.
New York is about $500 miles
from the scene Of the disturbance
and is we'll content to receive the
news of all such convulsions from
the seismograph. The Atlantic has
been more pacific than the Pacific
for coed many centuries. Yet
Charleston had severe shaking no
in 1886. and Manhattan, as older
residents will remember. has been
slightly joggled. Scientists who
know where the carth's faults" are
tell us that New York is in the
earthquake belt But the rock-ribbed
and steel-girded city certainly looks
as though it were built to stand up
right long while.
