FIRST ARREST MADE
IN STEELTON MURDER
tContinued from First Page.]
receipt in Yiddish, and more than
nee loud wrangling had been heard
from his little store in the adjoin
ing apartment, a barbershop owned
by John Fields, who also owns the
grocery store.
Strangely enough, Mr. Fields read
ing the paper at 7 •'clock last night
did not hear the shot and it was so
subdued thac the police believe it
had a silencer. But a colored woman
washing in the cellar distinctly
heard it and heard the body fall.
also heard high words saying;
"If you don't give me what's coming,
you'll get yours."
Saw Three Disappear
The young girl who happened to
bo passing Just when the shot sound
od, saw that the door was open anu
saw three men run out and disap
pear in a gully Just across Adams
street. As all lights were dark it was
an easy thing to escape, but she
caught one good look and her testi
mony may result In identifying one
of the murderers.
Not in years has Steelton been
agitated so completely by an out
and-out murder. The Southern negro
element is blamed for much of the
crime that has flourished and it was
recalled to-day that recently eight
holdups took place on a payday at
the merchants mill and every robber
got what he sought. In some weeks
a holdup was registered every even
ln*- „
The first person to sound the
aalrm of the murder of Lacob was
Mrs. Margaret Davtes, who lives
nearby and who was well acquaint
ed with the family. Mrs. Lacob died
some months ago of flu, and her
daughter, a girl of 17, noted for
having the most beautiful hair of
any girl in Steelton, along with her
two brothers, went to South Caro
lina to live with relatives. The mer
chant lived alone and his little store
was a sort of bank for odd persons
who gave him their money to take
care of. He was raided about three
years ago and threats were heard
from time to time by persons who
claimed they were imposed upon.
"Murder of undetermined nature"!
was the result of Coroner Eckinger's
preliminary inveatigatlon and an In
quest will be held later. Mrs. Davies
will be- a witness, being the first
to walk In just after the tragedy.
The vieitim was still breathing and
Mrs. Davies asked: "Who struck
you?" She felt his pulse and then
gave the alarm. Curiously enough,
she relates as she was entering the
door which stood open, outs'tde were
a colored ntan and woman. The
woman was saying: "I believe some
one has been in there killing Lacob."
With that she and the man hur
ried on.
Chief of Police Longnecker found
$5,000 in caAh on Lacob's body and
other moneys about the store: so it
Is not likely the murderers were
after this. The plausible theory is

took the stand and informed the
committee that he was prepared to
furnish them with the actual cost
of the production of a ton of coal
as figured on the entire holdings of
company, one of the largest oper

labor charges of $2.74 .He figures
the margin of the company at 6 and
89-100 cents per ton of coal.
Mr. Warriner In addition to fur
nishing the above statement fur
nished a report showing that tltb
company despite the increased costs
of coal in the open market, was
obliged to stand a net decrease hi

With the American Army of Occu
pation, Jan, 25.—Wherever Ameri
can negroes have appeared In the
area occupied by the Americans they
have attracted great attention among
the civilians. In Treves, Coblenz
and other places, during the early
days of the occupation, crowds as
sembled wherever any negro sol
diers stopped in the streets and it
was necessary for the military police
to enforce the orders prohibiting
gatherings in the publlb thorough
fares. Even yet in Coblenz and
Treves, where there are a number of
negro soldiers, the negroes attract
crowds of German children.
The German soldier also regards
the negro with great curiosity. Ac
cording to a discharged German
soldier said that throughout the war
German soldiers greatly feared the
negroes, and it was in order to over
come this fear that rewards were
offered.
One evening on the front a
scouting party consisting of ten Ger
mans including the discharged sol
dier, encountered two French ne
groes. In a fight which followed
two of the scouting party werei
killed. One of the negroes escaped,
the other being taken prisoner. Dur
ing the flight two of the Germans
left their comrades and ran to the
protection of their own trenches,
but these. It was explained, were
young soldiers and untrained. The
reward of four hundred marks sub
sequently was divided among the re-
Germans for capturing
the French negro.
