On Christinas week something unus

are being faithfully met. The at

preee-iing the filing of the divorce ac
tion. Snyder now is paying his wife
S3O a month alimony and the appeal

Highwaymen
CONDITION OF
VICTIM CRITICAL
Former Convict Arrested as Suspect In
Assault While Another Man Is Be
ing Sought as a Confederate in the
Hold-up and Bobbery
(Special to the Star-Independent.)
\ Pa., Dec. 22.—John E.
Mills, foreman at the Semet-Solvav
coke plant, was held up last night,
robbed, shot through one of the lungs
and stabbed by uuknown men while he
was on his way to work. He is at the
Lebanon sanatorium in a critical condi
tion. little hope is entertained for his
recovery.
The victim of the assault is the fa
ther of John Mills, Jr., second assistant
engineer of the Lebanon fire depart
ment.
Kav Seiders, a well-known character,
who has served a term in the Eastern
penitentiary, has been arrested, charged
with being implicated in the crime.
Another voung ma... alleged to be a
"pal" of Seitiers, is being sought by
the local police, charged also with being
implicated in the crime.
W hen two men attempted to rob
Mills the latter defended himself, aft
er which Mills was shot. The holdup
is thought to be an aftermath of the
Campbell hardware store robbery the
previous night, when many revolvers
and razors were stolen.
Early this morning the Lebanon po
lice began making an investigation of
the daring holdup. Three other young
men, whose names arc aireadv known,
may be implicated in the robbery and
the' shooting. It i.' expected that be
fore evening the arrest of the other
men charged with the robbery will
have been made. Seiders was closely
questione t in police headquarters.
Mills, the wounded man. is one of
the best-known men in Lebanon county
and is a prominent 10.-al volunteer fire
man.
WAIT FOR ABBOTT IS IN VAIN
Man Who Wants Commission Fired
Didn't Arrive This Morning
Capitol Hill was ou the watch to
day for the coming of Edwin S. Ab
bott. aii attorney, o. Philadelphia, who
was scheduled to a.ppear here this
morning a:ul request Governor Tener
to Uive-.ij.ate the I\».>;i Service Com
mission with a view to its impeach
men; and removal from otlice on
charges to be preferred by Mr. Abbott
to the effect that the recent decision in
t.ie p«sseager rn-te was to\l to the
railroad companies before it was com
mmiii a;cd to Mr. A oott. He is the at
toruey for the omplaiu ints in the
•a-e. Mr. Abbott holt* the law has
been violate 1 by the commission.
Governor Tener. who had rea I in the
j at>ers that M . A'o.ott was going to
i all and make his charges, waited for
several hours for the Philadelphia law
yer to arpv ir with his grievance, but
no Mr. A'Viot; appearing l>v uoon. the
Governor returned to the Executive
Mansion for the day.
L.i;cr it was learne! that Mr. Ab
bott planned to hold a conference to
day in Philadelphia with the com
plainants, the Business Men's League
and the Commuters' Association, with
a view to .irratiging a campaign
again--*, the commission.
Al»i>ott also has another grievance
in that i-he commission has set January
and Harri* nirg as the time and
place, for hearing further argument in
the 'ajsoiiier rate case. Mr. Abbott
insists that the rehearing ought to be
held in Philadelphia, thus saving the
complainants the inconvenience of
coming to Harrisburg. None of the
commissioners was in Harrisburg to
day. They will not be here uortil Jan
uary 4. having adjourned until after
the holidays.
HOMES AHE OVERCROWDED
More Children Left Homeless This
Year Than ui Any Previous One
The Children s Aid Society has been
aaed uton to play an important part
in the last six days. For some unex
plained i-ause the demand for homes
for uncared for children is greater this
year than any previous time.
In many instances the little ones
have ma vie many homes happy, espe
cially the homes where they fill the
chairs made vacant by the death of a
former o.'cupant. Now, during the
Christmas season, is apparently the
time to do good and charitable deeds
and as the homes are overcrowded it
is suggested that if some of the famil
ies that have been robbed of their lit
tle ones would adopt one of these
homeless little tots.
Mrs. Elsie V. Middleton, general
secretary of the Children's Aid So
ciety, is hard at work in the associa
tions rooms. 5 North Market squ*are.
trying to find some way to relieve the
crowded condition of these homes.

so®, of Blair county, yesterday entered
a formal nolle pros in all four indict

pay the costs in each vase, now that
the bandit is dead, and the indictments
are elosed.
The Cincinnati authorities have not.
yet located $4,500 of the $13,100
stolen by Hohl in Cincinnati, which
mysteriously disappeared in the mails.
A widespread request of all police de
partments in the country to search for
the loot has been sent out from Oin
t-Lnnati and one of the circulars has
been received in Harriatourg. The local
police do: .irtment is rendering all the
aid it can.
No further word has been received
by C. H. Mauk, undertaker, of Harris
burg, who claimed the body of Hohl'

BRI MBAUGH picked ambler
Says Governor-elect Se
lected the Man Speakership
(.Special to the Star-Independent.)
Philadelphia, Dec. 22. —Governor-
elect Brumbaugh is given complete
credit in political circles here for the
siatimg of Charles A. Ambler for the
Speakership of the next House of Bep
reeentatives. While Dr. Brumtbaugh has
declined to comment uf>on the action
oi the leaders in accepting his choice
for the position, his friends made no
secret of their delight that the school
man has been permitted to have his
own way in starting his administra
tion.
In the inner circles of tie Organiza
tion, it was stated yesterday that Am
bler had not been seriously considered
for the Speakership until the middle of
last week. The Vares at the time de
sired that William H. Wilson be named
for the place, but a strong opposition
was aroused against still further fat
tening the list of big jobs held by
Philadelphians. Senators Penrose and
McNichol favored Kit-hard J. Baldwin
for the position, and with the progress
bis candidacy was making with the
country members, his nomination ap
peared assured.
Dr. Brumbaugh, however, asserted
his own interest in the selection of the
Speaker. Ambler's record was scrutin
ized and met with his approval. Am
bler then called upon the Governor
elect and was given his endorsement
for presentation to the leaders, who
then shifted their support from Bald
win.

LATE WAR NEWS SUMMARY
Continued From First Page.
their offensive movement recounts pro
gress at many points, which "seem to
have disturbed the enemy." It is as
serted that the Germans are now fear
ful of attacks and are everywhere on
the defensive. The latest communica
tions from Berlin, however, tell of
spirited offensive movements, with re
sulting gains and make it appear that
the German armies are firmly holding
| the conquered ground.
' There is a similar conflict of state
ments concerning the campaign in tt
eaat. The Russian war office challenge
recent accounts of a great German vie
tory in Poland by denying "malevo:
ent reports" of the last few day*
While it is admitted at Petrograd tha
the recent retirement of the Russiai
forces to new positions was not entire
ly voluntary, the claim is made tha
the armies are now in safer and strong
er positions.
David Lloyd George, British chan
cellor of thfc exchequer is quoted a
saying that before spring Great Brit
ain will have 300,000 more men at th' i
front.
