THIEVES RAIDING
N. 2ND ST. HOUSES
Inadequate Police Protection
Responsible; Five Vacan
cies on Force
Thieves during the last few nights
have been making a systematic raid
of a number of houses in North Sec
ond street, and It is believed are tak
ing advantage of inadequate police
protection in that vicinity.
So far the following houses have
been entered and numerous articles
taken:
Samuel Miller. 1909 North Second
street, small mesh bag taken.
William C. Morton. 2214 North Sec
ond street, small sum of money and
miieage book stolen.
W. C. Metzger, 2232 North Second
street, victrola and records, small
sum of money.
C. S. Gould. 223 4 North Second
street, entry forced to pantry but
nothing taken.
John C. Herman. 2243 North Sec
ond street, entry forced but nothing
removed.
E. S. Herman, 2025 North Ffont
stieet. This residence was entered
about 6 o'clock in the morning, but
Mrs. Herman frightened the burglars
and so far nothing has been reported
missing.
At the Miller home the robbers
ei.tered the pantry, tilling a basket
with food, but were frightened away
and abandoned the produce. At the
Morton residence the burglars also re
mained on the first floor taking small
change and a mileage book. A few
doors farther north in the street, the
Metzger home was entered and a
valuable victrola and several records
stolen. Next door the burglars were
unable to force one of the doors and
at the Herman residence were fright
ened away before they had an op
portunity to remove anything.
It is believed that other houses in
the vicinity were visited but no other
robberies were reported. The work is
tha' of amateurs' as no tools are used,
and the burglars remained on the first
flooi to work. Some of the robberies
have been reported to the police.
Police officials said to-day that there
is inadequate police protection in this
section of the city between 4:30
o'clock and 8 o'clock in the morning.
Five vacancies exist in the city
police force at present—one is dead,
one has resigned and three are with
tlie National Guard at Mt. Gretna.
Only one officer is on duty for three
hours and a half in this section of the
city, and at least thirty more men
are needed according to police offi
cials.
International Textbook
Affairs in Better Shape
Sprcial to the Telegraph
Scranton, Pa.. June 27. Reports
were presented at the annual meeting
of the International Textbook Com-'
pany here showing how the new man-'
agement that asumed control of the
affairs of the schools last summer,
when the banks of the city loaned the
institution $500,000. have whipped
matters into such shape that it was
able to report a slight profit for the
year.
According to the report the oper
ating loss the first quarter of the year,
under the old management, was sllO,-
OT4. while the operating profit for the
second quarter was $31,045. third
quarter $35,525 and fourth quarter.
$55,011. leaving a net operating profit
for th? year of $11,507. Duding the
year 78.538 students were enrolled. A
feature of the report which was pre
sented by Vice-President Ralph E.
Weeks, was the statement that one
year ago the old management reported
a surplus of $3,668,840, and that dur
ing the 10 months he and his asso
ciates had been in charge of affairs
$0,948,136 of assets, consisting main
ly of excessive valuations on stocks
held, had been charged off. This
means a deficit of $3,279,295 on the
face of it. bringing the $10,000,000
■worth of capital stock down to a
valuation of $6,720,704, or about 67
cents on the dollar.
Censorship of Motion
Pictures Bitterly Scored
Pittsburgh, June 27. That mor
tality in motion pictures is essential to
success and that political censorship
has meant worse pictures than before
the censorship was the keynote of
speeches at the opening of the fifth
annual convention of the Motion Pic
ture Exhibitors' League of Pennsyl
vania.
Fred. JJ. Herrington, of Pittsburgh, I
attacked the censorship. He said:
"Thfc motion picture industry did not
know what immoral pictures were
until political censorship was estab
lished. There are more immoral pic- I
tures since censorship was estab
lished than ever before. Under the
censorship in Pennsylvania a picture
was shown in Philadelphia, but when
that picture was sent to New York
the motion picture exhibitors prohi
bited it being shown, and yet in New
York they have no censorship."
SPINE MAY BE FRACTURED

Wallis Livery teams, jumped from his
wagon at Cameron and Market streets
to-day when his horses ran away.
Ef.staining a probable fracture of the
spine. He was hurried to the Harris- j

mittee by a vote of 31 to 15 went on
record as being opposed to putting a
third ticket in the field. The com
mittee voted down a motion to substi
tute the name of Victor Murdock, of
Kansas to fill the vacancy caused by
the declination of Theodore Roosevelt
to head the Progressive ticket.
This action by the committee fol
lowed the receipt and reading earlier
ir. the day of a letter from Theodore
Roosevelt in which the former Presi
dent finally declined to accept the
Presidential nomination of the party
and strongly urged the organization
to support Mr. Hughes, The Colonel s
letter was read by Oscar King Davis,
secretary of the committee.
Attacks President Wilson
Mr. Roosevelt in urging the com
mittee and the Progressive Party to
support Mr. Hughes, said that the
nomination of a third ticket would be
merely a move in the interest of the
r<-election of President Wilson, whom
he attacked in his letter, particularly
blaming him for the German-Amer
ican agitation that has developed since
the beginning of the war.
Asserting that the people are not
ready to accept the leadership of a
new party, Mr. Roosevelt urged his
followers to face the situation and
•get out of it the best that it can be
mode to yield from the standpoint of
the interest of the Nation as a whole."
Mr. Roosevelt paid a strong tribute
to the Republican candidate, whose
public record, he said, is a guarantee
that he will put through a program
of cleancut, straight-out American
ism."
Fit nil Makes Motion
The reading of the Roosevelt letter
w.-.s greeted with applause and at its
conclusion William Flinn, of Pennsyl
vania. moved that Colonel Roosevelt's
declination be accepted. The motion
was carried by acclamation without
an objecting voice.
The meeting of the National Com
mittee of the party was called to

sence of Victor Murdock, of Kansas,
chairman of the committee.
The message from Colonel Roose
velt was given close attention by the ,
committeemen.
Among those who favored the in
dorsement of Hughes were George
AV. Perkins, of New York; Chester H.
Rowell. of California, and Flinn. Op- |
posed to such indorsement were John
M. Parker, of Louisiana, Vice-Presi
dential candidate of the Progressive
Party; Matthew Hale, of Massa
chusetts. and others.
Mr. Parker read to the committee
a telegram he received from Colonel
Koosevelt June 16 and his reply there
to. The telegram asked a conference ;
witli Mr. Parker. In his reply the Vice- j
Presidential candidate declared he
would not support Mr. Hughes, said 1
it was impossible for him (Parker) to
visit Mr. Roosevelt and expressed re
gret at tho latter's retirement from
politics.
Virgil C. Hinshaw. chairman of the
National Committee of the Prohibition
Party, renewed his offer for the Pro- !
gressive Party to amalgamate with the
Prohibition Party. Governor Eugene
N. Foss. of Massachusetts, a candidate
for President on the Prohibition ticket :
and Daniel A. Polling, of Boston, tem
porary chairman of the Prohibition
National Convention, were with Mr..
Hinshaw.
No action was taken regarding the.
Vice-Presidential nominee. The can- j
didacy of Fairbanks was not indorsed, i
As matters stood when the committee
adjourned, the Progressives still have
a regularly nominated candidate for
Vice-President.

"Hotel Astor,
"New York City. June 26, 1916.
j "My Dear Colonel Roosevelt: I !
warmly appreciate the cordial letter of

for the insistence upon the immediate I

Modern Science Finds a New Method
How Nerve Insulation Stops Inflammation and Eczema, Sunburn
and All Skin Diseases Yield to Remarkable
New Discovery.
The nerves of your body are like
electric wires. They carry the nerve
energy (neuro-electriclty) which is
generated in the brain, to all the
cells and tissues. The nerve sheaths
are insulated to resist a current of
about 4/1000 of a volt as has been
proven with the aid of Lord Kelvin's
i galvanometer, an instrument so sen
-1 sitive and accurate that for the first
| time it is now possible to measure
; the stregth of nerve currents.
| It has been found that wherever
acute inflammation occurs the in
sulation of the nerves Is broken
down, making it difficult, and often
impossible, for nature to heal the
surrounding cells. Germs cannot
live in healthy tissue; it is only
| through damaged cells that they
j thrive and spread. Obviously there
fore, the right way to successfully

treat inflammatory di«ease is to
quickly repair the damaged insula
tion and enable nature to restore the
diseased tissue to a healthy condi
tion. lon-o-lex Unguent does this.
lon-o-lex Unguent is not a drug.
It does not contain opiates or nar
cotics. Its action is entirely me
chanical. Applied externally, it
penetrates the tissues and surrounds
the injured nerve sheaths with an
insulating bath. Then the inflam
mation subsides and nature quickly
repairs the nerve lesion—you are
well. Don't suffer another minute,
just go to H. C. Kennedy and get a
large Jar of lon-o-lex Unguent, it
costs little, use as directed and if
you cannot say that it is the greatest
means ever devised for conquering
inflammation wherever it exists, your
money will be cheerfully returned
without a question.
