Lived in Shack While Daughter Had Luxuries Special to the Telegraph Burlingame, Cal., Jan. 28.—A strange story of buried pasts was re lated here by Mrs. Marie Berglund, 80, who, declaring she is the mother of Mrs. Emille Marie McGregor, former wife of Gustav J. McGregor, ex-Mayor of Burlingame, says she will contest the will of her daughter. Mrs. McGregor left her estate, valued at SIO,OOO, to Mrs. Mary Olsen, her former housekeeper, and several others. The assertion of Mrs. Berglund, who for many years has subsisted in a lit tle shack in San Francisco, while her alleged daughter lived in luxury on the peninsula, came as a startling sur prise to McGregor. The former Mayor says he always understood his divorced wife was an orphan, and that she told him she was the sole survivor of a family which had been shipwrecked on a voyage from Sweden.

STECKLEY'S 404 Broad Street Opening Evenings Bachelors to Go to Jail to Escape All Proposals Special to the Telegraph Hurst, 111., Jan. 28.—Some eligible young men of Hurst plan to occupy the empty jail to escape from design ing females during leap year. Going to jail to preserve one's lib erty may be rather paradoxical they admit, but they say there is one thing worse than jaii and that is marriage. The trouble with Hurst is that there are more marriageable girls —or would-be marriageable girls—than there are marriageable men. As a result the young men have been so much sought after they have been forced to resort to novel means for self-protection. The jail Isn't so bad after all. It Is situated in the center of the town park and surrounded by a grassy lawn with shady trees. Also—Hurst being a model town — It has never been used. The men will fit It up with lace cur tains and velvet carpets and move in soon. Doors, they have announced, will be double-locked every night in order to keep out prowling women. | EVEN IF MECA IS TRUANT, HE'S POLITE [Continued From First Page.] the court had Sabbath services in mind, the boy didn't. "No, sir, not Sunday, nor Saturday," said he gravely. "We don't have school on those days." Other Cases Only one youngster was sent to Glen Mills. He is one of the four boys who were arrested for snatching wrist-bagp from several shoppers, one of tlie others was remanded to the house of detention; the other two were released i 011 probation. Sentence was suspended | on a 15-year-old boy who was with the group that annoyed Mrs. C. E. Moul on Hallowe'en. His case will be dis j posed of after his three older coni- I pan ions are sentenced in February special sessions. George Kirkwood, charged with stealing a bicycle, was released on probation. He said he took the bicycle during a tit of "the blues." This was brought on, court officers explained, because the new child labor laws precluded his work ing. The only girl on the juvenile trial list was discharged because there was no evidence to hold her. The girl had been arrested for steal ing $30.25 from a boarder in a Steel ton boarding house. Counsel for the youngster pointed out that the prose cutor might have brought the charge in order to divert suspicion from him self or his friends. The boarding "boss" was the prosecutor. 1,100 Beaver Falls Steel Workers Out on Strike I Beaver Falls, Pa., Jan. 28.—Eleven j hundred employes of the Union Drawn Steel Company and the Union Special ty Company are on a strike here.

ZENTMYER HEAD OF COMMISSION Tyrone Man Chosen as Chair man of the State Water Board The State Water Supply Commission at Its reorganization meeting to-day elected Robert A. Zentmyer, Tyrone, as chairman; O. S. Kelcey, Lock Ha | ven, vice-chairman, and Thomas J. I Lynch, Bethlehem, secretary. Mr. Zentmyer was appointed to the posi tion last summer and is in charge of II number of important works which 1 the commission has undertaken. An opinion was to-day given to the State Prison Labor Commission that receipts from sale of articles manufac tured by convicts under the new sys tem should be credited to the manu facturing fund of the commission, but could only be drawn through the flscal officers of the State. The opinion set tles a question which had arisen in re gard to the disbursements by the com mission. The Public Service Commission has' fixed February 1 for the hearing in j the complaint of John F. Shannpn j against the Valley Railways Com-1 pany's service to Marysville. Shiremanstown was to-day paid its! school appropriation of $526.44.

Joseph Mandour. proprietor of the Mandour hotel at Shenandoah, follow ing an appeal made at the State Fire Marshal's department yesterday, was given two weeks in which to submit. plans for the reconstruction of his hotel building. The fire marshal lia|l ordered the hotel demolished because' of its flmsy construction and the ap- j peal followed. The partitions in the building arc said to have been a paper composition. The hotel contains 42 rooms which are occupied every night. Mr. Mandour was represented by ex- Judge Shay, of Schuylkill county. WILSON WARNS OF DARKER RELATIONS [Continued From First Paste.] a note that the United States has never been and never will be an ag gressor. Restrained as he was in some of his tensest moments, however, he left no doubt in the minds of his hearers that he has determined to carry his program for preparedness through, no matter what the cost to himself. At the conclusion of his speech he said: Confident of Success "I have not myself the slightest doubt of the outcome of this fight for preparedness. Not the slightest thing that ought to be done will be left undone. No political party, no group of men can afford to disappoint America." The President made it clear at the outset of his speech that he was going to touch on a wide range of subjects, although preparedness was the domi nant note of his address. Pointing to the Act that each of the warring countries of Europe party lines have been set aside for the common good, the President said: liay Aside Party Lines "How can Americans differ from the safety of America? If the people of other countries can lay aside party lines why cannot we do it? Only the other day the leader of the minority in the House of Representatives sounded this note and I take It that he spoke for those behind him as well as for myself. I want to take this occasion to pay my respects to him and acknowledge the obligation I am under to him." There were cheers all over the din ing hall for Representative James R. Mann, of Illinois. When they had subsided the President spoke of Am erican provincialism. "Only yesterday," he said, "we were afraid to match our wits with the wits of the rest of the world. We pre ferred to be provincial. But we can no longer afford to be provincial. We are not looking for war. We do not want war. l.iberly Before Peace "Woe to any man who plays mar plot or who seeks to make party poli tics or personal ambition take pre cedence over candor, honor and un selfish, unpartisan service!" said the President in speaking of his defense plan before the railroad men. He de clared that the country expects action; this Is a year of accounting, and the accounting must be definite on the part of the parlies and on the part of every individual who wishes to enjoy the public confidence." During his speech before at the rail way banquet, where he cast aside al most entirely the text of Ihe address that he had previously prepared for delivery to-night, ho was frequently j interrupted by applause. The President admitted that In a message to the last Congress he had said the need for preparedness was not pressing, lie declared that he had learned something in the meantime, i lie cited his recent support, of a tariff commission as another Instance of a change on his part, but declared that previously there was no need for such a commission. The businessmen en thusiastically cheered his support of the commission. Mr. Wilson spoke of men of high character who were clouding the pre paredness Issue. He declared they were provincial, and that the United Slates could no longer cut itself off from the rest of the world. The President vigorously defended his Mexican policy. He asserted that to invade Mexico would mean the los ing of the confidence' of the rest of the Western Hemisphere. He cited the freeing of Cuba as an instance of good done by the United States. "If we arc drawn into the male strom which now surges in Europe," the President declared, "we shall not be permitted to do the high things we would prefer." The President defended the con tinental army plan drawn by Secre tary Garrison, and said that he did not care about the details of any plans as long as 500,000 trained men were provided as reserves under the Federal government. He advocated strengthening the National Guard, but said the Constitution itself put the guard under the State. He added that the United States will not turn in the direction of militarism. Outlining why the United States should prepare, Wilson said we must protect our rights as a nation and the rights of our citizens In America and outside of It as the consensus of civil ized peoples has defined them: must Insure the unembarrassed realization of our political development within our own borders, and must protect the peace and political autonomy of the Americans. Industrial preparedness, with the military training of students In In dustrial schools, was proposed by the President. Ho left consideration of navy plans for later addresses. Businessmen who formerly relied on protective measures In their dealings with foreign powers were criticized by Wilson. He said American bual- Wise People HAVE SAVED MONEY IN PURCHASING A Brand New THOMPSON Player - Piano $375.00 EASY TERMS Wm. F.
