G ENAToR HIRAM JOHNSON in

g ENATOR HIRAM JOHNSON In an
~ address In San Francisco set forth
in considerable detail his objections to
the Pacific peace treaty agreed to by
the arms conference. He especially
dislikes Article 2, which he thinks as
bad as Article 10 of the League of
Nations. Senator McNary of Oregon
thinks the treaty offers a fine chance
for settling the Philippines problem
and when 1t comes before the senate
he win offer this reservation:
"The United States agrees within
two years TO grant complete independ-
ence TO the people of the Philippine
islands, provided the high contracting
parties will o%blIgate themselves to re-
spect the political independence and
territorial integrity of the Philippine
nation

THE delegation from the Far East
L ern republic, not being given n
hearing by the conference, created
something of a sensation by giving to
the press copies of alleged secret notes
and treaties revealing a military and
political alliance between France and
Japan for he purpose of establishing
japanese domination in Siberia and
stabilizing French interests In Russia,
and TO Illustrate Americas policy in
the Far East. The documents were
declared to be fabrications, by both
the French and the japanese delega-
lions, and the United States govern
ment stated IL has no official infor-
nation concerning any such agree
ment. But II Is asserted there are In
the files of the State department re-
ports from American observers in q
general way confirming the allegations
of the Chita representatives, and
there is ak of a senatorial investi-
CATION into the Siberian situation.
Later in the week the Chita dele
gates produced another document, this
time an alleged treaty between the
japanese army In Siberia and Rus
sian officers connected with Semenoff,
anti-Bolshevist leader, whereby the
japanese agreed to support with arms
and money an offensive against the
Chita republic. Baron Kato. In re-
ply, admitted that a former japanese
cabinet paid Semenoff a certain amount
of cash to keep him In the field.

GUILTY

A large crowd from Belington was
at court in Philippi, Monday, interest
ed one way or the other in the Ram
sey-Broadwater case, in which Luci-
fda Ramsey alleges that Okey j.
Broadwater is the father o. certain
child. This case created lot of in
terest thruout the county, and was
tried Monday when it was thought
that sufficient evidence had been given
to clear the defendant, then handed
to jury who, adverse to public opin-
ion. finds Broadwater guilty. He is
to pay SIS. per month for the keep
ing of this child until it reaches the
age of Ia.
This term of court is filled with the
most filthy, contemptuous and malici-
Gus cases of any term of court on re-
cord in the county. Moonshine liqu-
or, stealing, bastardy, damage suit
playing high hand; two or three of
these cases have been up once or
twice before; the people will be be
only too glad when such are wiped
from the record, and it looks like this
court will clean up.

COUNTY JAIL DELIVERY
LAST NIGHT AT PHILIPPI

Early this morning two prisoners
confined in the county Jail at Philippi
made their escape by saving thru the
iron bars, entering the hall, passing
thru five doors in all and bid farewell
the rest of the inmates. These two
prisoners were under sentences for
the opration of moonshine stills; they
were Pete Mikalovich who had re-
ceived a sentence this court for two
years in the penitentiary with fine
of $500, and Greed Stalnaker for a
two and half year sentence with a
fine of $500. Other prisoners heard
the saving and noise in breaking
down doors but could not stop them
in the oold attempt of Saving their
way OUT. Aid was given from the
outside. The proper officers are US
ing every effort possible to locate the
fleeing convicts.

first time in the history relations
between the Italian government and
the vatican, he government instructed
that the flags be half-masted on all
government offices in honor of the
death of the pontiff.
Already everyone is anticipating the
ceremonies of stately pomp, of which
the dead pontiff will be the centre dur
ing the next few days, beginning with
the gathering of the cardinals in the
death chamber in order to call the
silent figure three times by his Chris
tan name before pronouncing him Of
ficially dead. This will be followed
by the historic ceremony of removing
the fisherman's ring, which will be
drawn off the pope's finger by Cardi-
nal Gasparri, who will destroy it and
have it reset for Benedict's successor.
Then will follow the elaborate pre-
parations for the embalment of the
body and for the three-days' ceremony,
during which the body will lie in state
in st. Peters chapel before burial.

CIRARDvILLE SHAKEN
BY COAL mine CAvE-IN
Mahanoy Valley Dropped Il
Feet in 80 Years.

Girardville, Pa. The residents
of Girardville were unceremoniously
aroused and some thrown from their
beds by what they believed to be
either an earthquake or volcano, but
what proved to be a mine cave-in,
Preston Hill being swallowed up.
With a roar the earth gave way
and rocks went crashing down the
precipitous sides of yawning abyss
when the underground workings of
the Bast mine settled
A report spread throughout the Ma
hanoy valley that an explosion had
occurred, but it was a subsistence that
had caused the disturbance, with
three large, menacing cave-ins near
the highway between Preston Hill
and Homesville, to the west of town.
One half mile down the valley sub
sidences also occurred at Woodland
Park, once the mecca of dancers ana
pleasure seekers of Northern Schuyl-
kill, ominous and apparently bottom
less apertures opening up, with crew
ices all around.
The Mahanoy valley had dropped
twelve feet for a distance of eleven
miles-from Mahanoy City to Ash
land, during the last thirty years,
due to the mining Of coal. 1t has been
predicted by mining men that it will
drop several feet more. There are
holes underground from which coal
has been removed large enough to
contain the biggest towns in the coal
fields.
