Up" to Depose Him.
UNIONTOWN, To., March 21 nobcrt
p Umbel, wlio until yesterday wni Prcs
M.nt Judce of the Common Picas Courts
X the Judicial DIMrlct, Is now a
rrivato citizen. There Is n vnenncy on

County and Judge J. Q. Van Swearlnnon
i. twaltlnR his commission from Harris
buf as President JucIro.
But the circumstances which led up to
TTmbet'a resignation will not be allowed
(a rest. The News Standard, Judge Urn
lei's own paper, dcolarcs It will "lift tho
Ila" on the whole business and exposn
th Influences which caused Judge L'm
Kl's reslsnatlon. .....
The News Standard explained tho
tc,lrnstlon thus:
The Penrose Itejuibllcan Organization
lit this State has placed tho capsheaf on
Its sum of political Infamies. It has got
- Umbel.
"CHAnCJE FRAMED UP"
It was much against tho wishes of tho
Judge that ho forwarded his rcHlgnatlon
lo Governor Brumbaugh, but It was much
In lino with the wishes of his friends,
(or these friends know that ho had been
tried and condemnod months ago, and
that If ho had gone to Harrlsburg to faco
lh charge that had been 'framed' against
Mm he would simply hnvo been an at
tendant at his own execution.
"When all the details of this Infamous
niece of business aro published In tho
Kews Standard tho peoplo of Pennsyl
vania will stand aghast at tho depths of
depralty to which tho Republican ma
chine In this State will descend.
A "POMTICAIj ORGY."
"When Representative Duncan Sinclair
(lied tho charge that had been framed
and written In Unlontown, Judge Umbel's
friends wero Informed that It was use
less for them to attempt anything look
ing toward his salvation. They wero
ttn Informed that the samo hand which
haa drawn tho Indictment against Umbel
had drawn up tho verdict of the com
mittee. "These friends knew and advised Judge
Umbel that had he appeared before that
committee ho would have been 'shot full
of holes.' And that in the excess of the
present political orgy tho demands of tho
Judge's enemies would havo been com
piled with and his removal coupled with
a decree of disqualification which would
forever prevent him from holding ofllce
under tho Commonwealth.
"They wanted to mako sure he would
never como back. Under the circum
stances what else could he do but re

Dr. Ely Requests Senator to Intro
duce Measure.
Stale Senator James P. McNIchoI has
been asked to Introduce In the Legisla
ture, In 191", a bill providing for State
wide prohibition and for the return of
all license fees from tho time the bill
goes Into effect. This request has been
made by tho Rev. Dr. Jnmcs B. Ely,
head of the Lemon Hill Association. In
a telegram sent to the Senator.
"Thero must be some fair and square
lettlemcnt for those who hold licenses,"
paid Doctor Ely. "What I mean Is, that
while tho bill Is being debated In tho
next Legislature there will bo some sn
loonkeepers who will tako out new li
censes. It would hardly bo fair to tako
these away from them without remunera
tion, should the voters decide to drive
tho liquor traffic from tho State."

BLOW AT BRUMBAUGH'S
STATE ROAD POLICY
Vnre Leader in House Offers
Resolution Preventing
Change in Highway System.
Ffrom a MAvr connuRi'osDr.NT )
ilAnntSOUltO, March 21,-neprcsciita-tlvo
William II. Wilson, of Philadelphia,
Vnre leader In the House, Introduced n
resolution In tho Legislature today that
would prevent Governor UrumhaURh from
changing tho present Stnte hlitliv ny k li
tem In any way, and would retiulrc him
to take Immediate action In the reorgani
zation of the Stnte Itlifhwny Department.
The resolution was ecnt to coinmltteu.
The preamble relates how the present
State hlghwny system wum formed
through the pansagc of the Spioul act In
1911, creating 8000 miles of State roads,
and amendments made later adding 1100
miles additional roads and mld. i n n
spite earnest discussion ns to highway
policy that has been going on throughout
tho Stale, thero Is no evidence of u t-'iin-prchenslvo
policy looking to a proper
Htato highway system. Attention Is
called to tho fact that approximately 00,
000 Is available for repair and upkeep
of the highways. Tho resolution declares
"It Is tho sense of this House that tho
entire mileage of tho State highway sys
tem ns originally outlined In tho Hpionl
road bill and as subsequently lucieimeil
by the General Assembly of 1!)13, be kept
in tact as a nucleus for n State highway
policy and system, and that tho Stat
Highway Department be directed to pro
ceed nt the earliest ponsltili ilati In the
actual work of repair and maintenance of
the various roads comprising the State
highway system."
The resolution Is n direct slap at Gov
ernor Brumbaugh, who has been con
sulting with people from all parts of
Pennsylvania In an effort to work oiit
tho best possible method of reorganizing
not only tho State Highway Department,
but also tho Stato highway system. Tho
latest tentatlvo plan discussed by him
Is to cut down the mileage of State
owned ronds to about 1100 miles. Under
this plan the Stnte would own only the
principal trunk roads, would co-operate
ultli the counties in constructing and
maintaining the principal "feeders," and
the townships would care for tho smaller
roads. Tho Wilson resolution, If passed,
would knock that plan In tho head and
would tlo the hands of tho Governor.
"This resolution Is Intended to procure
nn expression of the members In the
matter of what policies should be adopted
on the road question," snld Tteprescntu
tlve Wilson In n stntcment today. "What
ever Is done should bo stnrted promptly.
Tho tlmo Is nlmost hero to repair the
Stato roads, and tho General Assembly
has not even taken up the question.
What should bo done, in my Judgment,
Is clearly set forth In the resolution. In
dividuals may have Ideas, but concerted
action Is Imperative. Tho peoplo of this
Stato want results.
"Kvcry mile of State road should bo
put In proper condition ns early ns pos
sible. Any attempt to shift any pnrt
or all of this responsibility back upon
tho townships will greatly endunger the
whole plan or system, which has been
outlined at great expense under author
ity given by the nets of 1911 nnd 1913.
"First we should set the wheels In
motion for the actual repair of Hie State
roads, and next -we should make a very
substantial appioprlatlon to pay the
townships of the second clnss what Is
owing to them on account of the levy
ing and collecting their road tax In cash.
It we do these two things, tho entire
Stato will be pleased; It we fall. It will be
difficult to Interest the citizens In new
plans or schemes to secure good roads."
WOMAN CONFESSES TO PLOT
TO DEFAME BEN LINDSEY
Entire Plan Seems to Have Fallen
Flat.
DBNVHH, March !1. Investigation ot
the alleged plot to defnme the character
of Judge Ben U. I.lndsey and to abolish
the Juvenile Court was reopened yester
day. Dr. Mary E. Bates, head of tho
Woman's Protective League, testified be
fore the House, of Representatives' com
mltteo Investigating the Howland money
package scandal.
Doctor Hates told tho committee she
had sent an envelope containing 115 to
ex-Ilcprcsentatlvo Howland, to bo paid to
a woman detective employed to shadow
Judge Llndsey and "get the goods on
"If that Is true." sho was asked, "why
did you and Howland remain silent? Why
did ou sit still and allow him to perjure
himself?' t
"Mr. Howland and I remained Bllent
because we were ashamed of our con
nection with the nntl-Llndsey campaign,"
replied Doctor Bates.
When told of Doctor Dates' testimony,
Judge Llndsey said: "There Is nothing
In her alleged contrition. Sho is a tool
In the hands of ttie 'higher-ups' who aro
really back of tho plot to attempt to ruin
my character. I havo nlready submitted
evidence to Deputy District Attorney
Sales, which he says is sufficient to send
these defamers to the penitentiary."

CASSIE NICHOLAS, CRIPPLED
BUT HAPPY, GOING TO A DANCE
Girl Whose Spinal Cord Was Severed by Bullel 14 Years
Ago Will Be Guest of Honor Joyous
in Anticipation.
Cnsslo Nicholas Is going to n dnnco
nnd she's so excited about it that her
knitting needles get all twisted up In tho
Jacket sho Is making nnd her bluo eyes
Illl wtlh tears of anticipation ns sho
speaks of It.
Everybody knew CaBsIe 14 years ago.
Or knew her Btory, ut any rate. She
was tho pretty waitress who was shot as
sho was leaving Thomson's Spa ono sum
mer night. Some people said tho mur
derer and suicide wns it jealous rival,
others a. degeneinle boy crazed from
cigarettes and drink, not even tho doc
tors believed the girl would survive.
However, crippled bovond any hope of
real recovery, Carrie Nicholas, or Cassle,
as her companions affectionately Hilled
her. Is still alive. The pleasant Utile
woman with tho big blue e;,es and llxru
hnlr, who was never too tired to smllo
cheerily nt a hungry latc-comei. Is trying
lo eko nut an existence knlltlng Jackets
On April S, some of her friends In Thomp
hon's will give he- u benefit minstrel
show and dance and "Cassle" will be
brought In an nutotnobllo to be the guest
of honor.
CHEERFUL IN HER AFFLICTION.
In tho tiny front room of her homo nt
12115 South I9lh street, outside of which
sho seldom pas.ses. Cassle works from
morning until night, never complaining,
never bemoaning her fate, only hoping
that her strength will hold out nnd that
she will be ablo to tako care of herself
In her old age.
"Every once in a while," she said
smiling Just ns sweetly as though she
didn't havo a crooked back and could
not walk more than two steps without
having to stop and rest on her crutches,
"my friends help mo out and so I man
ago to get along."
The eminent physicians who visited
her at the time of the tragedy said that
It wouldn't bo possible for any ono to
llvo with a severed spinal cord, cut In
two as clean as a whistle. No one had
ever done It before nnd, moreover, na
ono lias ever done Is since. The best that
Casslo Nicholas had to hopo for. In their
opinion, was a few weeks of paralysis and
then, mercifully, death.
But by sheer will power, or whatever
It is that keeps some people nllvo against
sceinliiglv Insuperable odds. Cassle Nich
olas hung on to life Young woman
hood passed her by In those 14 eais.
Her real lover, the ono whose ling she
still wears, died. Later she developed an
alarming tumor and while a hopeless In
valid, had to undergo an opcrntlon for
that. But sorrow and pain seem only
to have sweetened her outlook on life
nnd the same pleasant smile which won
for the girl waitress so many lasting
friends, beams out from tho faded eyes
of tho middle-aged suffering woman.
FORGIVES BOY WHO SHOT HER
Not even for Romeo Helms, the boy who
turned the sunshine of her life Into
shadows, does she hold any animosity.
"He couldn't help It. you know," she
said remlnlseently the other morning, nnd
her knitting needles clicked industrous
ly. "He wasn't Just right, I don't think
he was Jealous of me. I'm sure he
wouldn't have tried to kill me for that.
You see I was head order waitress and
ho got It into his head that I didn't like
him, and was going to havo him dis

RURAL PENSION FUND
FOR TEACHERS URGED
Prominent Educators Favor
Plan nnd Comment Favora
bly on Tomkins Bill.
Favorable comment was cxprened In
this city today by teachers nnd school
officials on the Tompkins bill providing
for n State-wldo system of teachers' pen
sions. The bill l now under considera
tion by the I.eRlslature
Men and women In the ranks of the
local school system were unwilling to be
quoted, but higher authorities were un
qualified In their approval of the plan.
In Philadelphia ample provision has been
made for the retirement of superannuated
teachers, but Instructors In other parts
of the State, especially In the rural dis
tricts, aro not so fortunate.
Henry It. Kdmunds, president of the
Hoard of Education, explained that this
city, classified ns a "first class school dis
trict," has three distinct pension funds.
There Is the Lewis niklni fund, cslab
llshed by a legacy. There Is nlso a fund
maintained Jointly by tho Board of Kdu
cntlon nnd the organized teachers, as well
ns a beneficial system organized by the
teachers privately.
Prom those three sources sufficient
tnenns nre obtained to enable every le
tlrcd teacher to llvo comfortably for tho
remainder of his or her life. Mr. Kd
munds Is of the opinion that a Bomewhat
similar system could be maintained
throughout the State.
"The Commonwealth Is morally obli
gated," he said, "to thoso who spend tho
best part of their lives In the preparation
of boys nnd girls for citizenship."
Dr. John l Garbcr, associate superin
tendent ot school, prominent for many
years In the Philadelphia Teachers' Asso
ciation, said.
"I am not Intimately acquainted with
the provisions of the Tompkins bill. But
as a general proposition I am In favor of
a Stato system for the financial benefit
of retired teachers. The individual teach
ers, ns well as the schools themselves,
would prollt under the plan.
"Often teachers aro unable to letlre
fioni tho profession when they feel that
they have earned a rest. This is a hard
ship. "Furthermore, tho public suffers when
a good teacher Is drawn away from n
community that refuses to pension Its
teachers. Tho thought that a certain
school district will euro for Its cmplojcs
when tiny arc old mav nttraol the
teacher lo that district. The community
that cannot offer such an Inducement Is
the nntuial tulferer I believe that a
pension system would bo especially ad
vantageous to the rural school sjstem."

yiv Hams are carefully
selected every time for
tenderness. Their treat
ment is exact uniform.
Sugar cured to perfection,
and smoked by the most
up - to - date method.
Delicious! That's why,
after you havo had a Viv
pram, you think it over
and say, "Let's have an
other right away."
Economical too, because
of their net weight in
actual food. Hard to think
of a moat that goes so far
at their price of
20c the pound.
The Alartindalo Delica
tessen department gives
you the choicest in pre
pared foods. Carefully
selected for quality, skill
fully seasoned and cooked.
Each good food priced on
the policy of "Small
Profits Many Times .Re
pealed." This department
must bo seen to be
appreciated.
