Thomas J. Coolidge, acting socre-
tary of the Treasury. this week con-
firmed reports that there has been
a substantial increase of liquor
smuggling along the Middle Allan

gathering took place
- on Tuesday evening
at the home of Mr..
- and Mrs. S. c. Evans.
1t was unique because of fact
that some of the members were
halfway around the world from
Milford. In Singapore, that
most southern port of the Malay
Peninsula lives our own Phyllis
Griffith, now Mrs. Gordon
Phelps. She was home some
months ago, and while here her
only child, a son, was born. The
grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Philip Griffith. have not seen
this branch of the family tree
since. II was probably with this
in mind that Mr.. and Mrs. Philips
took motion pictures of them
selves, their home. their son,
their surroundings and some of
the servants and sent the film
to be shown to the loved ones
here, The gathering took place
as above stated with Mr.. and
Mrs. Benjamin Johnson, of Do
yer, Mr.. and Mrs. John Fisher
of Milton, Mr. and Mrs. William
Watson, and of course the grand
parents in attendance. With
the showing of the film. even
though the Phelps were thou
sands and thousands of miles
away, the family felt after the
showing that they have had a
real visit with them. and GER
tainly their mental picture was
much clearer. That film is a
priceless possession.

commission prepared to examine
him.
If the committee finds the con-
feSsed slayer of "the hexing
widow" Mrs. Susan Mummey,
mentally unbalanced he will be
committed to the Fairview Hos

Otherwise, the youth will stand
trial for murder-facing death in
the electric chair if convicted.
Judge Henry Houck has named
DR.. Walter G.. Bowers, superin-
tendent of the Schuylkill County
Hospital for Mental Disease, and
DR.. J. B. Rodgers, Pottsville, to
examine the youthful killer.
