The Commonwealth
Male Quartet |
AT THE 1913 CHAUTAUQUA.
These “big town” entertainers are
known in a dozen States. Niagara Falls,
Milwaukee, Galveston, Richmond, Ro-
chester, Harrisburg have all heard them
in the last season, and the enthusiastic
comment of committees and press all
down the line has been * the most versa-
tile troupe in Lyceum work!” Every
one is a master of make-up, and mim-
icry, solo and chorus work. Besides, the
first tenor plays the piano and the bari-
tone gives readings. Chautauqua has
secured them to give the assembly this
summer two Lours packed full of every-
thing delightful from a Southern melody
with banjo accompaniment to the imper-
sonation of “ Uncle Billy ” in a hummous
%citation.
NATURALIZATION.—Judge Ellis L. Orvis |
held a session of naturalization court on |
Tuesday morning at which there were |
twc applicants for citizenship, Philip
Saul, a German, of Spring township, and
Tony Cocco, an Italian, of Bellefonte. |
Frank S. Becker, of Philadelphia, natural. |
ization examiner for Pennsylvania, was |
present representing the United States. !
In his examination of Cocco he brought
out the fact that the latter had been ar-
rested last summer for having a gun in
his possession in defiance of the Alien
law prohibiting the same. The arrest
wad made by two game wardens, who
had evidently been tipped off by some
one, and when Cocco was arrested only
the stock of the gun was found in his
possession, the barrel being found at a |
gunsmiths in Bellefonte where it had
been for weeks for repairs. Neverthe-
less Cocco was taken before a justice and
fined $25 and costs, $29 in all, which he
paid.
At naturalization court on Tuesday
Mr. Becker addressed the court, stating
that Cocco’s arrest and the proceedings
against him were illegal because they had
not been in accordance with the provis-
ions of the Alien law, and that he knew
of nine such cases that had occurred
within the court’s jurisdiction. That so
far as he had been able to find out none
of the| fines had been returned to the
State by the justice who heard the case,
as provided by the law, and he charac-
terized the system as one of petty graft
being worked on the illiterate foreigner.
He also stated that he would make a
thorough examination of the records at
Harrisburg and if he found that all re-
turns of fines thus collected had not been
properly made he would bring action
against the guilty parties and bring them
to justice.

Battle with Moros Was Hot.
General Pershing Tells How the
Tribesmen Were Beaten Back anc
Overwhelmed.
Fourteen American soldiers were
killed in the recent four days of fight
ing on olo Island, the Philippines
when General Pershing's command
finally subdued and disarmed the re
bellious Moros, according to a repori
to the war department.
On the list of dead were Cap'ain
Taylor A. Nichols, of the Philipp ne
scuots; eleven scouts and two privates
of the regular army.
Captain Nichols, who was thirty-fou:
years old, was commissioned a second
lieutenant in the Philippine Scouts ic
1505, and received his captain's com
mission in March, 1912. He was the
son of John Nichols, of Durham, Cal.
The two regulars, both of whom
were killed in the first day's action
last Wednesday, were Oliver Villiard
Co. M, Eighth Infantry, whose sister
Miss Anna Villiard, lives in Arctic
Rhode Island, and Luther Gerhart, of
the same company, whose father is
Henry B. Gerhart, of Reading, Pa.
General Pershing’'s report was as
follows: .
“On June 12 the Moros’ resistance
at Bagsak was formidable, and thel:
fort and trenches on the precipitous
side of the crater not only supported
each other strongly, but were defend
ed with modern arms. The Moros fa
natically and continuously tried tc
rush the American lines, but the care
ful disposition of our force held th
American loss to a minimum. Prob
ably there has been no flercer battle
since American occupation.
“Major George C. Shaw, of the Phil
ippine scouts, commanded the right
wing, with Company M, Eighth reg:
ment, United States infantry, and the
| Fortieth company, Philippine scout:
Captain Taylor A. Nichols, of the Phil
ippine scouts, commanded the le‘t
wing, with the Fifty-first, Fifty-se~ond
and Twenty-ninth companies, P:ilin
pine scouts. A mounted gun was wi I
each wing and proved of great assist
ance. At the close of Thursday, Cap
tain Patrick Moylan, of the Philippine
scouts, with two companies, was su)
porting the gun on Mount Bunga, and
the American forces occupied a con
trolling position on the rim of the
crater.
“First Lieutenant Edwin H. Rackley
Philippine scouts, was slightly wound
ed and three Moro scouts, of the Fif:y
first company, were killed. Captain
Taylor A. Nichols was killed in the
early morning fight and is a serious
loss to the army. Amil and several
leading outlaws reported killed. Othe:
Moros losses still unknown.”
A cablegram from Major Gener»:
Bell not only explains the reason for
the attack upon the Moros’ stronghold
but assumes responsibility with Gen
eral Pershing. General Bell said:
“The fight at Bagsak was inciden
to the disarmament policy of the gov
"ernor general (Cameron Forbes) and
the governor of the Moro province
adopted after many months of patien
but fruitless negotiations and marked
by promises disregarded by the Moroz
A situation arose that I believe left nc
alternative.
small following, occupying one ward of
the island of Jolo, were the only Moros
who refused to give up their arms
peacefully. Disarmament was generalls
desired by the Moros themselves. Al
of the rest surrendered their arm:
months ago, without resisting. Unde:
the circumstances it was impossiblc
and unjust to disarmed Moros to per
mit a few of them to retain arms.”
Takes Poison Pill Instead of Quinine
As a result of swallowing a bichlo
ride of mercury tablet in mistake for
a quinine pill, Charles A. Brice, a com
mission merchant, of Philadelphia, :»
in a serious condition at the Hahne
mann hospital.
He swallowed the tablet while rid
ing in his motor car and collapsed ir
the car.
Mr. Brice's case is similar, accord
ing to the hospital physicians, to that
of the banker in Macon, Ga., war
swallowed the same kind of poisor
tablet several weeks ago and who die
after he had calmly arranged all hi:
affairs.
Brice told the physicians that he
swallowed the poison in mistake fm
quinine. According to the physician:
at the hospital, Mr. Brice said he too
several of the tablets out of a close!
before he deft home, but did not real
ize he had mistaken the poison fo’
quinine until it was too late.
Dr. Troxall, who is attending M:
Brice, said his condition is as satisfa"
tory as can be expected. He said th:
poison will not be fatal unless °
reaches the kidneys.
Robbers Loot Freight Train.
One of the most daring hold-ups o:
a fast freight train on the Readin
railway happened within the city !im
its of Reading, Pa., when train No
57, from Philadelphia, was stopped at
Bingaman street by the Hall signal:
being set against it.
A moment later the seal of a freight
car was twisted off and the car en
tered by the gang. The crew start:c
oack with a view of driving the pir
ties away, when they were fired up.
by the thieves and a battle started.
There was a regular fusilade of bul
lets fired by men stationed at different
places to guard those who had been
delegated to enter the cers.
‘Word was sent to the chief dispatch.
er’s office and an officer hurried to the
scene. The city authorities were tele
phoned to, but before they reached
the scene the thieves had made their
escape. The loot is said to amount to
several hundred dollars.
Wilson For Direct Choice.
Representative Britten, of Illinois.
sought President Wilson's views on
single-term tenure for the president
and the vice president of the United
States, the abolition of nominating
conventions, the nomination for presi
dent and vice president at presiden-
tial preference primaries and direct
elections without the use of presiden-
tial electors.
Mr. Britten said on leaving the
White House that the president fa-
vored the abolition of national conven
tions for nominating purposes, but
thought them necessary to draft party
platforms. He declared that Mr. Wil
son approved of presidential primar
fes and direct election, which would
shorten the ballot. On the six-year
proposition, Mr. Britten said, the pres
ident refrained from comment.
Wilson to Visit Panama.
Colonel George W. Goethals, chief
engineer of the Panama canal, con
ferred with President Wilson in Wash.
ington about his prospective visit to
the canal zone.
The president told the colonel he
would visit the isthmus as soon as
congress adjourned, but did not haz
ard any guuvss as to when that might
be
Colonel Goethals said he expected
to let the water into the canal about
Oct. 1.
“I can hold the water out for twc
weeks longer, however,” sald Colonel
Goethals, “if the president should be
delayed in getting down, as we want
him to see the canal before the water
is put in.”
Senate Committee For Women’s Votes
port of the woman's suffrage commit
tee recommending the passage of the
Chamberlain resolution for a constitu.
tional amendment extending suffrage
to women.
“In this republic,” says the report,
“the people constitute the govern.
ment. They are its creators and its
maintenance; they are the govern
ment. The granting of the elective
franchise to women would add to the
strength, efficiency, justice and fair
ness of government, we have not the
slightest doubt.
Woman Kills Doctor and Herself.
Dr. Guy O. Brinkley, a practicing
physician, of Savannah, Ga., was killed
by Miss Katie Kittles.
After killing Dr. Brinkley Miss Kit.
tles turned the revolver upon herself,
and, shooting herself through the tem:
ple, fell dead across the pros.rate
form of her victim. Dr. Brinkley was
shot three or four times. The shooting
took place in Dr. Brinkley's office. Miss
Kittles was probably insane.
Accused of Using Son as Mule.
Charged with hitching his twelve
year-old son, Frank, to a cultivator
alongside a mule and working him in
the field in a temperature of 120 de
grees in the sun, John Friesmouth, a
farmer of near Lacrosse, Wis, was
south on a warrant issued on com
plaint of the state humane officer. "
