A jury in the Venango county criminal
court Thursday rendered a verdict ot
guilty in the case against R. J. Dick,
steward of the Moose club, of Franklin
Indicted for selling liquor without a
license. More Important than the ver
diot, however, Is the charge of the court,
which, If sustained by the higher courts,
will result In practically every lodge In
the state serving liquor being compelled
to discontinue such sales or distribution.
Judge Criswell said In substance that no
lodge could legally sell or distribute liq
uor among its members, though clubs or
ganized for a laudable purpose by the
members of a lodge may do so. Acting
on the advice of the lodge's attorneys, the
house of the Moose closed its bar and
will keep it closed, probably, until the
higher courts act on an appeal that will
undoubtedly be taken if a motion for a
new trial Is refused.
- Inspect Cook Tract.
Senator T. M. Kurtz, who Is a member
of the commission appointed by the gov
ernor to Investigate and report upon the
Cook lands In Forest and Jefferson coun
ties, which it 1b proposed to purchase for
the State, drove over to Cooksburg in his
auto yesterday and looked over the lands.
He was accompanied by George L. Glenn
Walter Brown and Joseph L. Kurtz, M.
I. McCrelght, of Dubois, and C. . Gor
dou, of Brookville, were also there, and
the party was entertained at dinner by A.
W. Cook, one of the owners of the land In
question.
Mr. Glenn was much Impressed with
the beauty of the proposed forest reserva
tion. Much of It, be says, is virgin for
est, on which great pines, 150 feet In
height, are standing In their primitive
majesty.
This is the largest tract of virgin pine
that Is now left in the Slate, and those
who favor Ita purchas maintain that, un
less the State buys and preserves It, only
a few years will elapse until it will be
impossible to find, within the borders of
couiuionweaitn once lamous tor us
great pine forests, anything resembling
original conditions. runxy opiru,
SO DECISION ON WATER CHARTERS
Full Text of Forest County's Petition
Protesting iralnst the Granting of
Water Power Charters,
A dispatch from HarriBburg under date
of September 6th cays:
The fourth hearing on the application
for the chartering of a big water project
along the Clarion river and Tionesta
creek, which was held today before the
State Water Supply Commission, was
marked by some spirited passes between
counsel. Attorney Frank M. Eastman
of Uarrlsburg, representing the promo
ters of the project, charged that the delay
In securing final action was due to the
"dilatory" tactics of the Pittsburg Flood
Commission. This body, he said, first
opposed the plan, then favored it; then
switched again and finally did not appear
at today'a bearing, which probably will
bring about another hearing. Members
of the Water Supply Commission said to
day'a special meeting had been called so
hurriedly that the Pittsburg Flood Com
mission could not arrange to be here.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
and the Forest county commissionera
both appeared today among the opponents
of the charters being granted, neither
having figured before. Eighteen different
companies are asking for charters, of
which J. R. Paull, J. R. Rose and ex
Senator Jonn S. Weller of Pittsburgh are
to be the Incorporators, with Paull hold
ing all but two shares of (be stock In each.
The plans Include a 300-loot dam across
the Tionesta creek valley Just above Tio
nesta, the power to be generated at the
mouth of the Clarion river. The protest
of the Pennsylvania railroad, which was
filed by Lyman D. Gilbert of this city,
was awakened by the possibility of direct
damages. The Pennsylvania and under
lying corporations have considerable
holdings Id the territory affected and Mr,
Gilbert's protest was in the nature of a
"bands off" warning, Mr. Rose and Mr.
Eastman said that no danger ex ists of the
watet backing up to an extent which will
injure the Pennsylvania property Con
tradictory opinions as to just what will
happen were expressed by Eastmau, Rose
and A. C. Brown, Forest county solicitor,
who presented the plea of the commis
sioners of that county. Brown was
backed by Don. C. Corbett of Clarion
county; T. F. Ritcbey ex-Congressman
N. P. Wheeler and F. K. Brown, of For
est county. Solicitor Brown declared
that the dam would wipe out from $2,000
000 to $3,000,000 worth of assessable prop
erty, six bridges which cost $75,000, ren
der 5,000 bomel9SS and remove their em
ployment and play bavoo generally. He
further declared that half ot the couuty
tax will be wiped out and Forest county
shoved to the verge of bankruptcy. Mr.
Rose and others said that Brown was ex
aggerating matters, that not more than
1,500 persons would be directly affected
and that the project would bring new in
dustries Into the valley to replace any
which may be destroyed. Mr. Rose also
disputed a statement by Mr. Brown that
the backwater will be eight or ten miles
wide, ssying that Its average width will
be only 2,500 feet Mr. Brown said that
the residents ol Tionesta would not care
to remain in tbat town with the dam fust
above them for fear that the barrier would
break. John Birkinbine, chairman of the
Water Supply Commission, stated that at
the request of the commission be baa
made a personal examination of the ter
ritory. Ilia remarks Indicated that he
thought Solicitor Brown's statements
were two sweeping, although neither be
nor any of the other members of the com
mission made any direct statement as to
the probable action which they will take,
The commission continued tbe applica
tions under advisement. No disposition
of them will be made until further data
is obtained from the Pittsburg Flood
commission.
J, R. Rose, tbe chief engineer for the
incorporators, will be in Tionesta tomor
row, Thursday, for a conference with tbe
county commissioners.
KORE9T COUNTY'S PETITION.
In re applications of Tionesta Water Pow
er Company, Green Water Power Com
pany, Kingsley Water Power Com
pany, Howe Water Power Company
and Forest Water Power Company, for
charters.
To tbe Water Supply Commission of
Pennsylvania
We, the undersigned, County Commis
sioners of tbe county ol Forest and state
of Pennsylvania, on part and behalf of
tbe citizens, residents and taxpayers of
said county, do hereby protest and object
to the granting of the charters as prayed
for.
First. We aver tbat the county of For
est has a population of about 10,000, and
that tbe Tionesta creek runs through
said county for a distance of 30 miles and
that tbe said creek divides tbe said coun
ty Into two parts of about equal area.
Second. That along and adjacent to
said creek and along its tributaries are
many farms with buildings erected there
on and a large number of inhabitants of
said county reside along said creek and
its tributaries.
Third. Tbat tbe Tionesta valley ex
tends all along said creek and located in
said valley are factories, farms, tanneries
gristmills, saw mills, manufacturing
plants, railroads, churches, kindling
wood factories, handle factories, publio
roads, gasoline plants, oil and gas pro
duction and other Industries all of value
and of use to tbe county of Forest,
Fourth, That along said creek and In
said valley are many villages, publio
roads extending all along said creek and
at many places crossing tbe same, and
tbe value of tbe property situate In and
along creek and valley Is worth upwards
of three or four millions of dollars.
Fifth. Tbe county of Forest has erected
on said creek within Raid county six
bridges for tbe use and benefit ot ita
citizens and residents at an expense ol
more than $75,000 00, includiugone bridge
erected at the expense of the state of
Pennsylvania.
Sixth. Tbat Forest county consists of
the following townships, viz: Howe,
Tionesta, Green, Kingsley, Barnett,
Harmony, H Ickory and Jenks, and one
borough, Tionesta, tbat the Tionesta
creek runs or flows through the town
ships of Howe, Kingsley, Green and Tio
nesta, and the Clarion river flows along
the southern boundry of the township of
Barnett, said county of Forest,
Seventh, That should charters be
granted as prayed for and tbe scheme
carried out as contemplated then the en
tire Tionesta valley would be turned in
to an inland lake from one mile to ten
miles wide and forty five miles long and
more than one-balf of the entire valuation
of tbe county would be destroyed, hun
dreds of people without homes, and other
lands not Inundated by said project would
be made practicably worthless, roads,
bridges, farms, manufacturing plants and
all industry of the county would be
affected and the valuation of the county
so reduoed and property so depredated
that the county would become bankrupt,
Eightb.-Tbe township or Baruett, For
est county, Is bounded on the south by
tbe Clarion river and should tbe project
or acheme be carried out as Is proposed
then a vast amount of private property
consisting of mills, dwelling bouses,
stores and other property would be totally
destroyed, public roads and brides taken
away and the Inhabitants of said town
ship would have no way to market their
product and all tbe property of said
township would be greatly reduced In
value.
Ninth. Tbat at the mouth of Tionesta
creek Is situate Tionesta, the county seat
of said county, and tbe county has erected
there ita Juvenile Jail, county Jail, and
court house. Many good and valuable
bouses are situate In Tionesta and much
valuable properly located in tbe Tionesta
flats along tbe Tionesta creek and the
Allegheny river with a four span bridge
crossing the Allegheny river at Tionesta.
Should tbe project be carried out the
town of Tionesta would be in danger of
damage by floods or breaks in tbe dam
and tbe lives ot ita citizens be In danger
and the value of property in Tionesta
would be greatly depredated,
From tbe facta above set forth, which
can be substantiated by evidence, and
believing tbat tbe grant of tbe charters
would be detrimental to the Inhabitants
of tbe county and injurious to property
of the county and its inhabitants, and
knowing and believing that more than
one-balf of the entire taxable property
would be destroyed and become useless
and of no value and tbe Uvea of many of
tbe citizens of tbe county be in great
danger, we therefore on bebalf of tbe
citizens, residents and taxpayers of tbe
county of Forest, do hereby most earnest
ly protest against tbe granting of the
charters. Respectfully submitted.
