SATURDAY EVENING,

HOMEJ)YNAMITED
[Continued From First Page]
nearly a million dollars ball to get their
freedom, 187 members of thelndustrlal
Workers of the World, arrested in the
raid on a secret meeting UeKl in Old
Forge, are again occupying cells in
the county Jail committed there by
various Aldermen of the city.
The men were brought down from the
county jail in groups yesterday, special
cars on the traction line being utilized
in transporting them to anil from the
Aldermen. Alderman W. H. Thomas
heard 1 fifty cases. Alderman Jacob Smith
forty.Alderman Robert P. Koehler fifty,
Alderman Dominlck Gibbons fifteen and
the remainder went to Alderman Morris
P. Morris. In each case called a fine
of $lO was imposed and the prisoner
was held for court in the sum of SSOOO
bail.
The Arm of Jennings & Jennings, of
which Hugh Jennings of Detroit, and
his brother are the members together
with John Memolo, attornoy for the
Italian Consul. Fortunata Tiscar, rep
resented the defendants. Memolo denied
that he was acting for the Italian Con
sul and insisted that he was merely
engaged by friends of some of the de
fendants. His brother is burgess of Old
Forge, where the I. W. W. arrests were
made.
Attorney Memolo made an effort to
have the bail reduced. Whe he failed
he announced that habeas corpus pro
ceedings would be begun and that he
expected to have all the accused men
at liberty within a few days.
When the first carloa>| was taken
from the Jail the officers in charge had
rather an exciting time with women,
wives, daughters and other children
of the accused men. They had been
gathering in front of the Jail for sev
eral hours, and when the men were
brought out numbered about 200.
One woman walked eight miles in
the rain,, carrying an infant, to see her
husband. The crowd gave packages
to the prisoners and the police were
compelled to disperse the women. All
the packages were taken from the men.
The women walked a mile in the rain
from the Jail to the center of the city.
Nineteen men, alleged to be the lead
ers, will get a hearing soon, and it is
said still heavier bonds will be re
quired.
One of the prisoners was releasedi
without a hearing. He was Aalli Stossl,
a former officer of the United Mine
workers. He convinced the Sheriff
that he is not an I. W. W. man and
said he went into the meeting to ac
quaint himself with what the opposition
was doing.
Old Forge was quiet to-day and to
night.
Refase Hearing on
Writ of Habeas Corpus
For Jailed /. W. W.
Seranton, Pa., Sept. 16. lndustrial
Workers of the World in Lackawanna
county were dealt a severe blow to
day when the court refused to give
an immediate hearing on a writ of ha
beas corpus brought in the interest
of one of the 267 men arrested Thurs
day when State police and deputies
swooped down on a hall at Old Forge
where a meeting was in progress.
The court informed the attorneys
that the habeas corpus hearing had
been put back until the next session of
the grand Jury which will be iTI two
weeks. The proceeding was a test
case and had the writ been granted it
would have meant that all of the pris
oners would have been given their lib
erty.
The court also refused to hear ap
plications to have the bail of the de
fendants reduced.
The last of the defendants were ar
raigned to-day on charges of Inciting
to riot, disorderly conduct, unlawful
assembly and conspiracy. Each de
fendant was held under $5,000 ball,
making the total bail for all a million
and a half dollars.
7-YEAR ABSENCE IS
PENSION WARRANT
[Continued From First Page]
The Auditor General however, re
fused to "O. K." the warrant because
"there was no proof of actual death
by direct evidence."
j The Trustees' Findings
President Judge Kunkel points out
i that the act of June 18, 1915 in ques
| tion provides for the method by
| which the trustees may distribute the
fund, and that the board alone is con
stituted a tribunal to pass upon the
application. Facts that must be de
termined as pointed out by the court
are: marriage of the claimant, decease
of husband, or permanent confinement
in an insane institution, number of
children, their ages, good repute of the
claimant, whether or not she Is poor
and dependent and her ability to sup
port her children.
"All these" declared the court, "are
facts which the trustees must find In
order to Justify an allowance for sup
port. Why the fact of death any more
than the other facts should be re
quired to be adjudicated first in some
judical proceeding, as suggested by
counsel for the defendant, we are un
able to understand.
The Court's Discussion
In discussing Auditor General
Powell's contention the court con
tinued:
"In this State, as well as in other
States, the death of a person may be
shown In two ways: either by wit
nesses who saw the person killed or
saw his body with life extinct, or by
testimony to the effect that the person
had been absent and unheard of for
seven years or more. Evidence that
a person has been absent and unheard
of for seven years or more raises the
presumption that the person is dead,
and if not refuted is just as effectual
In all cases Involving the question of
death as proof of death by direct
evidence. Because of the difficulty in
many instances to prove death by
direct evidence, the presumption re
ferred to was adopted."
Decision Cited
Judge Kunkei cited appellate court
decisions covering this point and con
tinuing said:
"Accordingly in that case it was held
that the life of an absent person of
whom nothing is known expired at the
end of seven years from the time that
he was last known to be alive. There
is no reason why this means of proof
should not be permitted to be resorted
to in a case like the present one,
where the death of a person is a fact
to be established, Just as It is per
mitted to be done in all other Instances
where the fact and time of death is in
question. We cannot agree with the
defendant that the trustees are au
thorized to allow support only In
case the death of the husband is con
clusively shown by direct evidence or
by producing the records of a judicial
proceedings establishing the fact of
fact. There is nothing in the statute
that limits the evidence to that sug
gested. We are of the opinion that
the fact of death is open to the ordi
nary and recognized means of proof.
Wherefore, In accordance with the
terms of the case stated, Judgment is
directed to be entered in favor of the
plaintiff against the defendant and a
pre-emptor writ of mandamus will
Issue on motion therefore."

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
HOTEL COMPANY
TO ASK CHARTER
[Continued From First Page]
day E. Z. W&llower, the chairman of
the special Chamber of Commerce
committee which was responsible for
launching the hotel, calls upon all the
citizens of Harrisburg to manifest
their interest and enterprise by sub
scribing at least one share of stock so
as to demonstrate in a substantial
way their slinre in this civic and busi
ness undertaking. Men and women
who believe in their home city should
now come forward without any urging
whatever and thus evidence their faith
in Harrisburg and their loyalty io its
interests. Mr. Wallower's statement
is as follows:
All Should Subscribe
"I am gratified to note the hearty
support and enthusiasm of the people
of Harrisburg over the new hotel
project. I never met with a more gen
erous response. The need of a modern,
high-class hotel Is recognized, and has
been the one apology we have had to
make on every occasion. Wo must at
tract arid not drive possible guests
from tho city. While a business propo
sition which I believe will return a
satisfactory rate of interest on the In
vestment, it is also a matter of civic
pride for every citizen who Is anxious
to seo this progressive Improvement
materialize to co-operate In securing
the now hotel. Tho shares have been
made SSO each. Every merchant and
individual who has the welfare of tho
city at heart should have a part In
the enterprise. I would like to see a
popular subscription of $50,000 in
SI,OOO, SSOO. SIOO and SSO amounts.
The subscriptions will bo payable be
ginning January 1, 1517, and cover a
period of fifteen months in instalments.
A postal card to the Chamber of Com
merce will bring a subscription blank
and literature concerning the new
hotel to prospective subscribers. It le
the hope that Harrisburg will realize
tho Importance of the undertaking in
making this popular subscription. The
leading financial and business Interests
have led the way in a most substan
tial and progressive manner, but I re
gard a popular subscription of the
many smaller amounts as more impor
tant in contributing to the success of
the venture."
Suggestions For Hotel Name
Responsive to the recommendation
of the organization meeting of the
hotel company that the Telegraph be
requested to Invite suggestions as to
a proper name for the hotel quite a
number have already been received.
These suggestions will be printed from
day to day and referred to the direc
tors of the hotel organization. In ad
dition to "The Susquehanna," the
"John Harris" and the "Harrisburg"
which were printed yesterday,
these suggestions have been submit
ted:
M. H. James, secretary of the Wil
liam Penn Highway Association,
writes as follows: "Undoubtedly Har
risburg's new hotel should be named
"The William Penn." Starting at
Penn Square, Philadelphia, travelers
would pass over the William Penn
Highway to Penn Square in Reading;
thence to the William Penn Hotel in
'Harrisburg; thence over many Penn
streets in various towns and cities to
the William Penn Hotel, William Penn
Way. Pittsburgh. So far as I know
there Is nothing of heroic size In Har
risburg keeping alive the name of
William Penn; and hence it would be
fitting were this name given tho new
hostelry."
Jostah H. Hlllegas, of the executive
force of the Dives, Pomeroy & Stewart
store, suggests the "Penn-Harris" as
inclusive of the Stato and the city.
An Oberlin citizeVi, too modest to
permit the use of his name, would like
to suggest that it shall be called the
"Keystone Hotel." "My reason Is that
It will be in the Capital city of the
Keystone State where we have the
Keystone flag floating, so why not have
a hotel with the same kind of flag."
John E. Cunkle, 1918 Green street,
a student in the sixth grade of the
Cameron school building, sends these
two suggestions: "The William Penn"
or the "Grand Central."
Mrs. A. S. Milhouse, 221 South
Fourteenth street, submits the "Penn-
Harris."
J. G. K. postcards from Mifflin:
"Congratulations to the new hotel
promoters and as an all-time booster
for our city, its people and enterpris
ing industries, suggest as a real ap
propriate name for our new and nec
essary hostelry the "Hotel Park-View."
He signs his suggestion as "a resident
of Harrisburg, a Telegraph reader and
a traveling man."
GAUG PROMOTED
O. L. Gagg, Second and Woodbine

Company, has also been assigned to
the position of manager of the New

By Cuticura. Trial Free.
"I had pimples and blackheads on my
forehead and my forehead was very sore.
The pimples were hard and quite large
and red, and most of them scaled over.
They burned very badly and I had to
scratch them, and they disfigured my
face.
"I put peroxide on them but it was of
no use. Tile trouble lasted about a year
before I started to use Cuticura Soap and
Ointment and after I had used one cake
of Cuticura Soap and one box of Cuticura
Ointment I was healed." (Signed) Miss
Mr.ry Hrinda, 324 Second Ave., Scran
