TO PROSECOTB DE FIAJTJEACM Health Commissioner Samuel G. Dixon, acting for the State Depart ment of Health will at once prosecute a number of teachers in different parts of the State who have absolutely re fused to comply with the vaccination law and who in defiance of this law are admitting uuvacciuated children to their schools. The attorneys for the department have all their evidence in hand for a number of these cases. Health Commissioner Dixon lias also arranged to secure evidence iu all other cases where the law has been violated. In addition, proceedings are to be taken against school directors and others who have conspired to have the law defied. The commissioner stated Saturday that every effort lias been made to point out to the teachers their duty under the law. He has carried on a vigorous campaign of education. Thousands of circulars sotting forth the true facts in reference to vaccina tion as a protection against smallpox have been sent out through every county in the state. He has written thousands of letters to teachers, school ' directors and parents personally, en deavoring to overcome the prejudice against vaccination and to counterbal ance the effect of the literature circu lated by the anti-vaccinationists. "I cannot express too strongly," Raid Heatlli Commissioner Dixon Sat urday, "my appreciation of the sup port I have had from the public press throughout Pennsylvania in educating the parents of our school cliildreu to the necessity of protecting their little ones against smallpox." FEBRUARY COURT PROCEEDING fCon'inued from First Prfge. ] the case of Commonwealth vs. Peter Dietrich, charging murder. District Attorney Gearhart explain ed to the court that he had a bill against Edward Burns charging him with aggravated assault and battery, bat that the prosecutrix in the case had failed to appear. Inasmuch as there were two other witnesses the court ordered that the bill be sent to the grand jury and directed that body to act upon it and immediately after wards to examine the public buildings returning to the court room with their finding in the bill and their regular report at 4 o'clock. At 4 o'clock the grand jury return ed a true bill in the case of Cmmon wealth vs. Edward Burns and present ed its report as to the condition of the public buildings. After this the grand jury was discharged and court adjourn ed to reconvene at 10 o'clock this morning, when the case against Diet rich was to have gone ou trial. Soon after adjournment the news reached Danville that Judge Little was dead. This threw all plans into con fusion and it was hard to tell what effect it might have ou the further conduct of court. Judge Staples in formed a News representative that at 10 o'clock this morning out of respect to the memory of Judge Little court would adjourn. Meanwhile the Sheriff was instructed to notify as many of the traverse jurors as lie could reacli of what had occurred and request them not to appear this morning. Thoso who can not be reached by telephone or otherwise and come into town ex peotmg to serve will receive their pav for the day. What further pan may be adopted iu the premises will be made known this morning, but there seems to be little doubt but that court will be called off indefinitely, pend ing the appointmont of a new Judge. February court adjourned Tuesday morning and the trial of the Dietrich case and all mattors pertaining to the regular term goes over until May. Court convened at 10 o'clock a. m. with His Honor Judge Staples, and Associates Blee and Waguer on the bench. Court sat but a few minutes, mere ly long enough for Judge Staples to make the following announcement: "It becomes our painful duty to an nounce the death of Hon. Robert R. Little, President Judge of this dis triot. "God in His infinite wisdom has seen fit to end Ills labors in this world and to take him to that bourne from which no traveler ever returns. Out of respect to his memory this court stands adjourned.'' On Thursday of next week, Marcli Bth, the rule to show cause why a re ceiver should not be appointed in the case of the Danville & Suubury Street Railway Company will be argued be fore Judge Staples at this city. Be yond this, it seems, no provision cau be made for disposing of any of the Important matters before court and all are awaiting the appointment of a Judge to succeed Hon. R. R. Little in this district. District Attorney C. P. Gearhart yesterday stated that the two cases—Commonwealth vs. Peter Diet rich and Commonwealth vs. Edward Burns—in which true bills have been found, cannot come up for trial before the next regular term, which is in May. It was quite 5 o'clock Monday even ing before Sheriff George Maiers was apprised of Judge Little's death—that owing to this fact court would adjourn and that it would dovolveupon him to get word to the traverse jurors'in ord er to prevent them from coming into court yesterday. That ho must have done some lively hustling is attested by the noteworthy fact that of the ■ixty jurors drawn he reached all but seven and these appeared at the court house yesterday moruing and were paid for the day. When it is explain ed that the jurors receive two dollars per day and mileage the considerable Item saved to the county by the Sher iff's quick action iu serving notice at once becomes apparent. He had prac tically the whole county to oover and only a few hour's time in which to ac complish his task. It was another fine illustration showing the usefulness and the efficacy of the rural telephone, which aided very muoli in getting the saw* abroad. NEW PRIMARY ELECTION LAW Tlio uniform primary election law passed by the legislature is now up to the governor for signature. The op ponents of the new measure claim it is unconstitutional because the bill entries two subjects, elections and a liquor clause; that the latter is not mentioned in the title and that its furs ther provisions permitting borough anil townships to hold elections other than those specified in the hill is speci al legislation. Ttie new law goes into effect Nov ember 1, 1906. This date was decided ou for the purpose of permitting city and county commissioners to adjust their rulos to suit and also that the bill may not iutorfero with the ap proaching primary elections. It nlso provides for separate official ballots for each party, for the naming of independent candidates,for the pay ment of all expenses by the State, for the identification of voters by existing laws ou that subject, and for a re count and an appeal to court by an aggrived person, beside other protec tion measures to insure the purity of the ballot. As passed it provides that no liquor shall be sold between the hours of 1:00 and U:00 iu the evening on tho two an nual primary election days. One of these falls on the fourth Saturday be fore the Fobmary election and the oth er on the first Saturday iu June.oxcept in presidential years, when it comes ou tho second Saturday of April. The amendment was made necessary because of the election laws. Prim aries are to be subject, hereafter, to the same rules as electious. The pri mary polls are to be open on Saturdays from 2:00 to 8:00 in the evening and the saloons are closed an hour before and reopened an hour after it is over. Under the new law all political parties will hold their primary elec tion at the same time and same placo. Each party will have a separate ticket on which will be the name of the can didates. Those getting the highest vote will be placed on the ticket, and the electors will thus vote twice for their favored candidate—once at the primnry and then again at the general election. There will be no more delegates or conventions. A primary election will be held in each preciuct iu the same manner and by the same officials that conduct the general election,and they will be paid by the state. The new law results in the hotel men being compelled to close their places of business four days each year instead of two, because of elections, and as tho primaries are held on Saturday the new law does not meet with much ap proval from hotel men. This year's Democratic and Republi can county conventions may be the last held in Montour county,and it has already suggested that a return to the old meetings will be nceessary to get an expression of party opinion on live issues. Party rules, iu a great measure, are wiped out by the uew primary elec tion law, and candidates are already wondering how the law will affect them when it once gets into practical operation. EARTH SINKING ON SHAMOKIN STREETS Residents iu the vicinity of Clay, Strawberry and Pearl streets,Sliamok in, are greatly alarmed over the settl ing of the earth in that vicinity. With in the past few days several apertures have been discovered and while none of them seem as yet tc be very deep it is feared that the earth may open up at any moment and swallow up or cause to full down several of the houses in that neighborhood. The largest hole noticed so far is on Clay street within three feet of the P. & R. Railwoy tracks. The opening is about eighteen inches wide and three feet deep. It was first discovered on Sunday and was filled with dirt and ashes Monday. During Monday night the dirt sank to a depth of about six iuches but no further settlings have been noticed. The residents of Shamokin ascribe the settling to the old "fiery slope" workings which were located in that vicinity and which run east under Polish hill. The fact that the railroad is so near also adds alarm as the vibrations caus ed by the heavy coal trains undoubted ly shako the earth iu that vicinity and conduce to the settling. ELDERS AND BISHOPS AT HARRISBURO An important church conference is iu session at Harrisburg. Bishop Ber ry, who will preside at the Central Pennsylvania Methodist Episcopal con ference at Tyrone on March 28 is meet ing the presiding elders of the confer ence to consider the matter of filling the vacancy of presiding elder of the Danville district caused by the death of Rev. Amos S. Baldwin, of Sun bury. It is said that the conference will decide whether the Rev. Emory M. Stevens is to he tho choice for presid ing elder, as it is believed lie will be. Besides Rev. Stevens only two other ministers are prominently mentioned for the oftlco, the Rev. B. C. Connor, of Altoona, and the Rev. R. H. Gil bert, of Berwick. At present the Rev. George W. Stevens is looking after the affairs of his own, the Harrisburg dis trict, and the Danville district also. Bishop Berry, after the session in Harrisburg, will goto Williampsort whore on Friday evening he will de liver an address at Dickinson Semin ary. Trout Will be Plenty. Reports come from the mountains and from persons living along trout streams that the outlook for the com ing spring is better than it lias been for years. This is doubtless due to two things—the rigid enforcemment of the law and the mild winter. Trout appear to be more than usually plenti ful In the Rtroams of the White Deer Valley.
