URGES TEACHERS TO
LEAD CLEAN LIVES
Warns Against Bad Habits Lest
Pupils Receive Harmful
Impressions
Harrlsburg's school teachers met
this morning in the chapel of the Cen
tral High school for the second day
of the nineteenth annual institute. To
day's speakers were Dr. Charles H. Al
bert, .of the Bloomsburg State Nor
mal School, and Dr. J. G. Carter
Troop, of the University of Toronto.
Devotional exercises, lead by the
Rev. Thomas Reisch, pastor of Christ
Lutheran Church, were followed by
the address of Dr. Albert on "The
Working Factors of the School," Dr.
Albert pointed out that the teacher
and the pupil are the two Important
factors and that the training of the
teacher is ust as important as is the
. work of the student. He urged that
| the teachers be especially careful of
their own lives and personal habits
lest the pupils in their care receive
bad impressions that cling to them
throughout their lives.
Dr. Troop's address spoke on "Lit
erature as a Culture Study." The aft
ernoon session was resumed "at 2
o'clock when the two speakers spoke
on educational topics of the day.
STOUGH'IATTACK ON
DR. BRUMBAUGH IS
WIDELY RESENTED
[Continued From First Page]
gang he was traveling with to in
sinuate that he was under the in
fluence of liquor or that he even
drank. My information was that
Dr. Brumbaugh is an exemplary
man In his private character.
There were two separate re
marks based on two separate
facts.
The word "drunk" Is ,a very
elastic word, and so I will modify it
to "under the Influence of liquor."
The excuse of some of the accused
will be that as long as a man can
walk or stand up he Is not drunk.
I made no reference to their tour
through Clearfield county nor to
any other part of the trip except
what took place in the city of Du-
Bois.
My fight here and everywhere Is ,
not one of partisan polities, but a
fight out and out against booze.
Hewing on this line I am not
particular whether the chips hit
Republicans. Democrats. Progres
sives, Socialists or even Prohibi
tionists.
(Signed)
HENRY W. STOUGH.
The original publication of the out
rageous attack upon Dr. Brumbaugh
appeared in the Clearfield Progress,
which published last night Dr. Brum
baugh's straightforward demand for
an immediate retraction of the charge
against him with the following edi
torial comment:
So far as the Progress is con
cerned, this paper reported Doctor
Stough's speech Just as it has re
ported the speeches of other poli
ticians. The statement in refer
ence to the alleged Dußois Inci
dent was made by Doctor Stough
in the course Of a vigorous attack
on the liquor interests, and in re
porting what the doctor said this
paper was within its rights as a
newspaper. We give Doctor
Brumbaugh the benefit of the
publicity which is given his state
ment above quoted.
Editor Bixler declared that the
article published in his paper was cor
rectly stated and attributed nothing to
the evangelist that he did not say. A
young lady reporter of the paper
wrote the story of the Stough "boozer"
sermon, and R. B. Johnson, manager
of the paper, sat on the platform and
verified her report. Mr. Bixler says
that he can furnish hundreds of wit
nesses who were at the meeting and
heard the allegations made by the
Rev. Mr. Stough. The report of the
meeting, he said, was given by the pa
per in good faith, and any retraction
or verification will gladly be printed
in this paper, but must come from
the Rev. Mr. Stough himself.
Dr. Brumbaugh does not propose to
rest under the infamous attack upon
him and a dispatch (lom Uniontown
last night states thaf he wired In
structions to Thomas H. Murray, an
attorney of Clearfield, to proceed at
once in the matter of alleged libel by
J. R. Bixler. editor of the Clearfield
Progress, and Evangelist Stough. Bix
ler sent the following message to the
candidate;
Clearfield, Pa., Oct. 23, 1914.
Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh, Union
town, Pa.
Regret publication of Stough
statement here Monday night, re
garding you. Have every reason
to believe it was unwarranted.
EDITOR PROGRESS.
His statement of yesterday and his
determination to take decisive action
brought Dr. Brumbaugh a shower of
friendly and sympathetic messages
from all parts "of the Staie.
Thomas H. Murray, who' has been
retained by Doctor Brumbaugh as
counsel to compel explanation and
apology, or to Instigate proceedings,
Is a prominent lawyer of Clearfield.
He Is a personal friend of Doctor
Brumbaugh, being long affiliated with
him and with John Wanamaker and
others in the Pennsylvania State Sun
day School Association.
Doctor Brumbaugh's instructions are
direct and positive. There will be
either satisfactory explanation and re
traction made to his lawyers by Stough
and Bixler. or court proceedings will
be begun at once. This statement is
made on the authority of Doctor
Brumbaugh.
General regret has been expressed
among many good people of Harris
burg to-day . over this deplorable Inci
dent at the very opening of an evan
gelistic campaign which had aroused
wide-spread interest In this commun
ity.
In its issue of yesterday the Clear
field Republican, a prominent Demo
cratic newspaper, denounces Evange
list Stough In a sizzling editorial state
ment, saying of the Clearfield meeting:
"Everybody present excepting the few
who got some personal gratification
out of the abuse and misrepresenta
tion of their neighbors, were disgusted
with the entire affair."
This version of the Acorn Club inci
dent at Clearfield Is from one who was
present on the night of the Brum
baugh meeting:
"The Acorn Club la an organization
of the best citizens of Clearfield and
does not have a sideboard. After the
Republican rally quite a number of
gentlemen were at the club and de-
Sired to greet Dr. Brumbaugh. As the
club is Just across the street from
where the Republican candidate was
'stopping, Dr. Brumbaugh war urged to
make a little visit, If only for a few
minutes. He had already gone to his
room. He was escorted to the club by
the proprietor of the hotel, who prom
ised to get him back In five minutes
for a night's rest before the strenuous
campaigning of the following day.
[That's all there was to it."
SIX STUDIES BIN

Part of Town With
Destruction
Special to The Telegraph
Newvlile, Pa., Oct. 2 4.—Fire about
6 o'clock this morning caused the de
struction of six stables In First alley
and 'for a time endangered that sec

and quickly spread to adjacent build
ings. On the north side of the alley
were the stables of William Best. John
Strohm and David Hursh. and in an
adjoining alley those of George Frey

the threatening nature of the fire,
I Carlisle was asked for assistance, and

however, the home firemen had the

shot and seen the man jump over the
fence he looked into Dr. Carman's
office and saw the doctor with a
woman in his arms.
There were two women in front of
the house. Mr. Loewe added. He also
saw a man he did not know standing
in the vestibule to the doctor's office.
"How near were you to the two
women you saw on the steps?" Mr.
Smith asked.
"About fifteen feet," Loewe replied.
He said the man he saw was "My
height and not so thick."
Justice Kelby had to leave his seat
on the bench and stand beside tho
witness' chair to shout his questions.
Swore He 'Heard Shot
Loewe was quite positive that not
withstanding his Infirmity he had
heard the shot.
Justice Kelby asked him how long
he had looked into the doctor's office
and he said about thirty seconds. Then
he left, but before doing so he saw
a door, open and a woman in white
enter the office. By that time the
woman who had been shot was lying
on the floor.
John J. Dunbar, a Freeport police
man, testified that after the murder
he brought bloodhounds to the Car
man house. He said he found the
broken picket in the fence, mentioned
in the testimony yesterday. The
picket was opposite the broken win
dow. he said. On the premises next
door he found near the fence a place
where a man's feet had been; appar
ently the man had been standing there
for some time.
After bringing the bloodhounds to
the house, Dunbar said, he took them
to the trampled ground and they went
from there to the broken picket. Then
the dogs were allowed to smell the
window sill. They growled, ran all
the way around the house, came up to
the place In the fence where the picket
was broken, left the premises and went
west as far as Lynnbrook, three miles
away, where they stopped, having lost
the trail.
Follow Dunbar's Trail
On cross-examination Dunbar said
he had taken the screen off the win
dow the night of the murder, propping
it up with a piece of new shingle
which he found near a small outhouse
being built In the rear of the Carman
residence. The dogs, after smelling
the window sill, went to this house,
h» said. The district attorney sought
to show that the animals followed
Dunbar's back trail.
Stories Contradicted
After M. Haughey, trainer of blood
hounds. had corroborated Dunbar's
testimony the defense announced that
tt rested Its case.
The first witness called in rebuttal
was Richard Lamb, president of tho
village of Freeport and chief of police.
Mr. Lamb said that many persons had
had their hands on the screen and
window sill before the bloodhounds
arrived. Through Mr. Lamb's testi
many District Attorney Smith brought
out the fact that Mrs. Carman would
not have been permitted to leave Nas
sau county on the night of the murder
and that had she attempted to do so
she would have been arrested. Mr.
I>amb said that he had issued such in
structions. He denied that she was
under suspicion at the time, but said
he did not think it wise then to permit
any person in the house to leave the
county.
Sheriff Pettitt, of Nassau county,
contradicted some of Dunbar's testi
mony. He sai dthat Dunbar was con
fronted by Farrell on July 6, just after
Farrell had been arrested, and that
Dunbar said then that he had never
seen Farrell before. This contradicted
Dunbar's testimony. Sheriff Pettitt,
as well as the next witness, Phineas
Seaman, a county detective, testified
that a great many persons had han
dled the screens and window sill be
fore the dogs arrived. Both said, in
addition, that fifty or more persons
had tramped over the lawn.
