Russia's "Sacred Devil"
Who Was Assassinated \
Gregory Rasputin, called the "Sacred
Devil of Russia," whose inlluence over
the royal family, particularly the
I ssarina, became obnoxious, was quietly
assassinated by several relatives of the
Czar and high officials. He was one
of those strange mystical characters
who have floated through all Russian
history. Rusputin had gained such
power over the royal family that it was
feared he would interfere seriously
with the conduct of the war. At any
rate he interfered with officials of such
importance that the Russian police fear
to prosecute the men who killed him.

MILLER ARREST
NEEDLESS SAY
HIS NEIGHBORS
Poor Director Snavely and
Others Wrought Up Over
Action of Authorities
County official!* and a number of
the neighbors of Harry Miller of near
Hummelstown, were indignantly
wrought up to-day over the arrest of
Miller, charging him with the murdet
of his son, Clayton, aged 21. Young
Miller's death. Coroner Eckinger
claims, was caused by starvation.
County authoritiep who are investi
gating the case said that they do not
think Mrs. Miller, mother of the
youth, will be held in connection with
the case.
Rumors to this effect were current
to-duy, but so far no action has been
taken. Neighbors of the family de
clared their willingness to aid Mrs.
Miller and care for her Ave children,
now that the father is in jail, need
lessly, friends of the family claim.
Poor Director Frank 1-5. Snavely,
who is a neighbor of the Millers was
only one of a number of county offi
cials to-day who wore indignant be
cause of what they called the need
less arrest of Miller for the murder
of his son.
Rumors that a warrant had boen
sworn out for Mrs. Miller only served
to further incense them.
County Commissioner H. M. Stine
declared his willingness to begin a
subscription list to engage an attorney
to defend Miller or his wife. Chief
Clerk Ed. H. Fisher declared he'd go
along and Chief Clerk W. J. Bayles
was another who expressed his will
ingness to subscribe.
"Why I was astonished when I saw
the story in the newspapers that a
neighbor of mine had been charged
with the murder of his son," declared
Poor Director Snavely.
Poor But Respectable
"The family is poor indeed, but so
far as I've ever been able to learn it
is a reputable, highly respected family
and I can't for the lite of me under-,
stand why the husband and father or
any of the rest of the family should
be arrested for bringing about the
death of their own son. Why it's
ridiculous. I have visited the place
and have offered to furnish them food
but they declined it although 1 believe
they did, permit the Poor Board to
send them a little coal. The place is
as clean as one could hope or expect;
the wife is a hard working woman
who loves her children and her hus
band; the husband and father is a
hard working man and as I have
known him for so long you can
imagine my surprise when 1 learned
that he was arrested for this offense."
Miller in a cell in the county Jail
begs and begs to be released only for
long enough to attend the funeral of
his son. The funeral, however, was
held yesterday. That too, didn't
lessen the resentment.
Early this morning John Yates, sec
retary of the Associated Charities, and
George W. Hensel, clerk of the Poor
Board went out to investigate the con
ditions with a view to aiding the wife
and children. Mr. Yates was asked
by County Commissioner Stine to give
the matter particular attention.
Ignorance Only
Secretary Yates, upon his return
from the Miller home said he was
positive ignorance of the proper care
that should have been given the
youth probably was largely respon
sible for the death of the invalid. He
also promised the co-operation of the
Aid societies, declaring he did not be
lieve the alleged starvation of the
youth was intentional. Neighbors
have also promised their help in
caring for the children if necessary.
D. D. Hammelbaugh to
Lead Red Cross Campaign
Harrisburg's Red Cross Christmas
seal, campaign for 1917 got its initial
I boost last evening when the general
committee which conducted the 1916
: crusade elected D. D. Hammelbaugh,
| secretary of the School Board, to suc
ceed Dr. C. R. Phillips as chairman.
Dr. Phillips, who has served so suc
cessfully for the past several years, de
clined to serve again because of pri
vate business affairs. The committee
met at the home of Mrs. William Hen
derson, 25 North Front street.
Harrisburg's school children, to
gether with their small fellows In the
county districts, shouldered the bulk
of the work for the past year, as their
sales alone totaled nearly 75 per cent,
of the whole. This end of the work
was handled by Secretary Hammel
baugh.
Both Henry W. Cough and John
Yates, county controller and secretary
of the Associated Aids Society, re
spectively, were re-elected treasurer
and secretary of the committee.

ANOTHER SPECIAL
"MURDER WEEK"
Will Not Be Able lo Handle
Many Homicide Cases This
Session
That another special term of crimi
nal court—another "murder week" —
will likely be called during February
to try some of the many homicide
cases listed for January quarter ses
sions was indicated this morning when
the grand Jury returned Indictments
against four more accused prisoners.
January criminal sessions end to
morrow and it is doubtful more than
the trial of Eddie Marshall can be
started.
The grand jury to-day returned true
bills against Mary Washington, Fred
Richcreek, James Frazer and John
Robinson, all charged with murder,
and It is expected that these trials will
be taken up in order during the spe
cial term.
Most of to-day's session in No.l court
room before President Judge Kunkel
wan taken up with trial of Harry R.
Shertzer, charged with having soaped
the trolley tracks in State street dur
ing the recent trolleymen's strike with
the intention of destroying Harrlsburg
Railways Company property.
Shertzer's defense was an effort to
prove an alibi. To support this he
produced witnesses to show that at the
time he is charged with having been
mixed up in the soaping incident, he
was among the compuny's men who
were reporting to the otttce for their
pay preparatory to going out on
strike.
In No. 2 room Mary Radacj, was on
trial for assault and buttery. George
Dorsev, pleaded guilty to cut
ting Henry Curry. Dorsey got six
mo.nths. Curry said he had called on
Dorsey with the intention of warning
him to cease his attentions to his sis
ter and Dorsey struck him with a
hatchet. Curry said lie had no recol
lection of what hit him until a few
hours later when Dorsey coolly In
formed him that "a hatchet held by
mah own hands had done It!"

Despite Hindrances of
Weather, British Pound
Forward Against Germans
With the British Armies in France,
Jan. 11, via London, Jan. 12. —Through
rain, mist, fog and deep mud the Brit
ish army is continuing day by day to
pound the German line. Although
there hus been no distinctly spectacu
lar action recently, dally and nightly
trench raids and the drumming of the
artillery have continued. These op
erations have yielded a constant inflow
of prisoners and have kept, the cas
ually lists growing. According to the
stories told by the prisoners, the Brit
ish tactics have harassed the German
troops almost beyond endurance.
The last week has witnessed some
typical so-called minor operations, cul
minating with an attack before dawn
to-day north of Beaumont-Hamel.
This action brought the total of pris
oners taken in this area In the last
three days to 300 and placed In British
hands somo important sections of
: trenches. On Tuesday night the Brit
ish attacked a desired section of the
JANUARY 12, 1917,
German lines, which was taken, with a
yield of 140 prisoners.
The operations this morning drove
the Germans from a position which
they had held for some time and from
which they could observe part of the
British line. The attack was pre
ceded by the usual artillery prepa
ration, which, as a matter of fact, had
been going on lor nearly a week but
had grown particularly severe in the
last forty-eight hours.
Just before dawn the British "went
over." Ahead of them in that dark
est hour before the sun rose was the
fiery curtain of shells from the guns
far in the rear. The sodden stretch
of no man's land over which they
plodded was lit by the glare of the
exploding shells.
As the barrage crept steadily for
ward the men followed it, so closely
that the spectator momentarily ex
pected them to be smashed by the Are

shell-torn trenches. The Germans had
thken refuge from the terrible shell
fire in the dugouts and communicating
trenches. The prisoners taken in this
raid, had been on the front line for a
long while and appeared very much
dejected. As soon as the captured
trenches had been cleared of the last
hostile fighters squads of engineers
were sent in to consolidate and repair
the new positions and before night
the regular booming of the big guns
told that the battle had once more
settled down into its customary routine.
