6,000 SKATERS
OUT IN WEEK,
SAY OFFICIALS
Rest Boom Facilities Crowded
Both Saturday and.
Sunday
it is estimated that 6,000 skaters
have used Paxtang, Twelfth and
Wildwood during the past week, it
is a pity that many more have not
availed themselves of this opportun
ity to tight off influenza and have
a good time in tlie bargain, park au
thorities say. At Wildwood Saturday
und Sunday the rest room facilities
were crowded. At Paxtang tlie cozy
building there was filled.
There is no winter house at Twelfth
street, but tlie guard in charge there
keeps a good fire burning and plenty
of benches around it to toast the
shins of those who get cold feet.
Wildwood lake witli its 122 acres
of ice is tlie mecca now for old and
young. The lake area was lirst flood
ed in January, 1909, and placed in
custody of the JliWrisburg Park
Commission and almost immediately
it became frozen and was made use

There arc many whose names are
not known to tlie park authorities,
but the most persistent und consist
ent known regulars are:
Tlie "two young old fellows," 60
years or more, who can outshine all
comers of all ages, are Howard O.
I Townsend, clerk in tlie City As
sessor's office, and 11. 11. Koons, of
I the United States mail service. These
[ men recount with much pleasure
the many delightful days and even
ings on which good skating could be
had since 1909. Others who are of
Hie younger class but regulars are:
Miss Mildred 11. Conkling, music
teacher in the public schools. Miss
Bessie Bennett, schoolteacher; Miss
Margaret Turner, playground in
structor; Frank If. Stewart, of the
P. R. It., and Mr. and Mrs. E. R.

expert skaters and could givc*in ex
hibition that would get uppluuse

crew ot New York Hippodrome fame.
Italian Park, not yet under the
care of the Park Department, will tie
another fine spot for skating and a
faiorable point is its accessibility to
the vast population of the West End
Superintendent of Parks Forrer to
day said it should be a sense of re
lief to parents when they can send
their children out for this winter
sport without fear of drowning. Park
authorities, lie said, are doing their
best to keep down to a minimum the
number of so-called roughnecks, lie
said the worst offenders will be called
up for prosecution if they persist in
keeping up their practice.

Carrying of Liquor
States
By Associated Press
Washington, Jan. 13.—The Supreme
Court held to-day that the Reed
"bone-dry" prohibition amendment
prohibits interstate transportation
into dry states of Intoxicating liquor
for beverage purposes, even when in
tended for personal use.
Justice Mcßeynolds, in a dissent
ing opinion, concurred in by Justice
Clark, declared the Reed amendment
was not an interstate commerce reg
ulatory measure, but a direct Inter
meddling with a state's affairs and
beyond Federal power.
As interpreted by the Court, the
law nullifies state statutes permitting
limited amounts of liquor to be
brought in for 1)61-80081 use.

President Judge Likens Serv

Jurors who seek to evade their

an excuse thut private business re

George Kunkel at tlie opening ses
sion of the January criminal court.
Fourteen of the petit jurors were
excused, some of them subject tu

Judge Kunkel explained he was
referring to no specific instance, but
said that he wanted the members of
the liar to understand that In making
motions to have jurors excused they
are as much concerned as the court.
He declared he would not encourage,
nor should any attorney encourage.
Jurors to ask to lie excused because
of private business.
Patriotic Service
"Some of them seeni more con
cerned about their private affairs i
than in tlie administration of jus
tice," Judge Kunkel continued. "They
must yield to public business, but
instead of knowing the law they have
learned it backward and think public
business does not come first. There
are jurors who come here and serve,
suffering much loss and ineonven- ]
ience, but without making u inur- j
mur. They show their patriotism in i
doing this. To serve in times oi j

The fedei-ation method of evangelism
added 8,000 members to the churches
of Cincinnati during the year just

churches and 1 1,000 to the Cleveland
churches. The cost of such a cam

that of a tabernacle campaign, and
every church continues its own serv
