CAPITOL
ON HUNT FOR VIOLATORS
OF THE PURE FOOD LAWS
Pennsylvania Division Instructed to Be
More Vigilant in Running Down
luiposters in the Supplying of Eggs
and Meats
Agents of the Pure Food Division
have been instructed to be more vigil
ant than ever in the hunt for violators
of the pure food laws, especially in the
matter of eggs and meats and Commis
sioners Foust is receiving reports every
day of offenders who are active all over
the State. The cold storage eg.-* that
have been iu hiding since last April,
are now being taken out to be sold
during the cold weather when the hens
have stopped laying, and the tendency
among dealers is to dispose of them as
"strictly fresh," after removing the
label on the crate showing how long
they had been in cold storage.
this morning prosecutions were or
dered in forty-eight cases of violation
of the food laws, half ot' which were
against men who are selliug cold stor
age eggs not properly labeled, and there
were also violations of the meat laws,
some of the dealers selliug diseased
meats of all kinds. Many arrests are
being made in the larger cities, and rt
is said that the foreign-born dealers in
foods in Philadelphia, are among the
worst offenders.

The Public Service Commission has
jiiso issued an order to the effect that
the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western

Kingston at 7.10 in the morning for
Bcranton and New York, for the ac

OPPOSES HOTEL LICENSE
Charles F. Hoover Files Remonstrance
Against T. S. Fry's Application
Because it is allesred Theodore s.
Fry has not paid a bill for furniture
with which he equipped his hotel, at
Fifth and Short streets, Charles F.
Hoover, of the C. F. Hoover Furniture
«Sc Carpet Company, to day file,! a re
monstrance with the court claiming
that Fry U not a fit person to run a
hotel and that his liquor license should
not be granted.
This was the fir-it remonstrance ac
tually tiled iu connection with the many
applications for liquor license renewals.
Hoover claims that jie brought suit
against Fry more than a year airo for
the amount of the furniture bill.
5200.43, and since that time the defen
dant has paid but $13.50.
Another allegation in the remon
strance is that Fry cannot now ■sell his
place of business, for hotel purposes, in
view of the fact that the building and
ground is in the t'aipitol Park zone, and
soon will be taken over by the State.
If the hotel furniture were to be
by tlfe sheriff. Hoover asserts, it would
not bring much more than the sheriff 's
costs.

GERMANS IN BATTLE
LOSE THOUSANDS
C«Btlanrd From First Pas*.
than twenty-two violent attacks upon
certain heights in the region of Koziou
wka, occupied by us. The Germans
came forward to this attack several
ranks deep, presenting a full front line.
Violent Cross Fire of Germans
" I'nder our violent cross fire the
Germans here twice took possession of
a certain height, but they were dislodg
ed by counter attacks deliv>red by our
infantry. This success was preceded by
long and violent haud to hand fighting
with the bayonet which is without"
precedent iu history. The losses sustain
ed iu this engagement by the Germans
were exceedingly heavy.
"Attacks of the enemy in the vicin
ity of Wysehkowo also were repulsed.
In the Black Sea the former Germau
cruiser Breslau (now a unit of the
Turkish navy) bombarded Yalta, in the
Crimea. Our cruisers on February 8,
shelled a Turkish battery at Trebizond,
and sank one steamer. Another steamer
'loaded with provisions and a two-mast
ed schooner were sunk near Leros.
Attacks Made By Germans
"In order to attack our positions
near Koziowka the Germans commenced
their concentration of troops the night
of February 7. Early the next morning
they began the delivery of an irrestible
offensive movement, and their attack
1 was supported by a very violent fire
from their heavy artillery. They were
1 successful in gaining an important
' height occupied by us but they were
promptly driven from this position be
fore our bayonets.
"Attacks then followed without let
up. Toward evening the Germans in
very considerable numbers took posses
sion of the highest positiou in our line
from which they were dislodged only
after a desperate fight. Before retiring
they exhausted all their strength in a
stubborn resistance to a general counter
attack on our part, a feature of which
was an unprecedented encounter with
I the bayonet.
1,000 German Dead Counted
"At the side of tfois hill was cover
ed by German corpses. In front of one
of our battalions more than 1,000 Ger
man dead were counted.
"Among the trophies captured near
Kamion are three mine throwers. At
Rawaka, near the railroad to Skiernie
wic, Russian foot soldiers were success
ful in throwing eight bombs into the
German trenches. These missiles caused
great destruction.
''Russian aviators threw bombs 011
German troop trains ntar Rawaka. The
general staff of the Russian army in the
Caucasus communicates under "date of
1 ebruarv 8 that there has beeu no en
gagement of importance to record."
Details of Desperate Fighting
Details of a desperate fight in the
(arpathiaus with ferocious bavonet
charges described as without precedent
in history reached Petrograd to-day.
According to these reports, repeated
German attacks were finallv repulsed
by the Russians, and the German dead
lay in great numbers in front of the
Russian positions. The losses are de
scribed as enormous.
The scene of the fighting was Beli
grod. 30 miles south of Sanok, iu Ga
licia. It is estimated by the Rus
sians that the Hungarian forces have
been augmented by 300.000' Germans.
The German plan seems to be to
transfer their troops to points where
there is greater opportunity of pierting
the Russian defensive.
Fierce Attack of Germans
Concentrating their forces the night
of February 7, the Germans the follow
ing morning began what doubtless rap
idly developed into one of the fiercest
attacks in the history of the Carpa
thian campaign. With their first line
almost annihilated, the Germans pushed
forward their second, line, under the
support of heavy artillery, and gained
strategic elevation. But from this they
were driven back by a Russian bayonet
charge. Attack and counter attack
followed and towards evening the Ger
mans. in great numbers, seemed to be
in permanent possession of the heights.
The general counter attack by the
Russians resulted in two hours of hard
band-to-hand lighting, which left the
snow clad hills strewn with dead. Aft
er a stubborn resistance the German
regiments were driven out. A Russian
officer claims to have counted upwards
of 1,000 German dead.

AUDIENCE APPLAUDS FINE
PICTURES OF ANTARCTIC
In Lecture at Majestic Sir Douglas
Mawsou Tells of Thrilling Experi
ences in Newly Explored Regions—
Governor Is Appreciative
\~
The beautiful scenery, lUe queer land
an\l sea animals, and (lie unusual
climatic conditions of tiie South Polar
regions were all shown in four reels of
unusually distinct moving pictures at
the Majestic theatre last night, aud
commented upon in the course of his
talk by Sir Douglas Ma'wson, famous
Antarctic explorer, who was brought
here through the efforts of the Harris
burg Natural History Society.
The pictures, taken at many times
under difficulties, with the photog
rapher hanging from ropes or facing
great wind storms, showed clearly the
nature of t'he laud newly discovered
by Mawsou's expedition, leaving only
the intense cold to be imagined. The
hut erected by the explorers was shown,
almost completely covered over by the
uniting snow aud thus kept compara
tively warm—" almost up to the freez
ing [>oiut in fact."
Comfort Inside Hut
Of particular interest were the pic
tures of the interior of the hut, which
was iu two sections, work shop and
living room. Here w'ere small libraries,
an electric light [tent, au acetylene
plaut, a wireless apparatus which was
in coutinual use, and numerous micro
scopes and other scientific instruments.
The stock of food was sufficient to last
the party which stayed at the hut for
over a year.
While the house lights were turned
ou between reels, the explorer told in
a halting manner of the death of his
two companions, Lieutenant Ninnis and
Dr. Mem., While they and he were on
an exploring expedition, and of his
own narrow escape from a horrible
death in a erevaflee iuto which he fell,
and was suspended by a rope. During
this recital the speaker nervously linger
ed the electric sigm:l which he held in
his hand, winding the cor.l into knots
and then untangling it, aud looking at
the tloor when he mentioned his dead
companions, or his own hazardous ex
perienee.
Narrow Escape From Death
'■While 1 was danging at the en,l of
the rope over the crevasse," he 'said,
"and seemed to have no more strength
left to make a tinal effort to escape. I
thought of a lot of strange things.
Everything seemed different from the
way it did on the earth, for 1 felt that
I was no longer on the earth. I thought
of things t'ha't never occurred to me in
just t'ho same way before, and I—l
can't describe at all how it felt to face
death like that."
Sir Douglas made his escape from
his perilous position by exerting the
strength of despair, ami when he reach
ed the Arm ice at the edge of the
crevasse he swooned away. He had been
living on small quantities of dog's meat
tor many days, and was able to return
to the hut only with the greatest difli
culty. He ha I left improvised crosses
to mark the graves of his two dead
companions.
The pictures of the penguius, snow
birds, seals atjd sea % elephants of the
South Polar region w'ere very attractice
and there was much in the actions of
the queer animals that was genuinely
comical.
Audience Applauds Pictures
The audience heartily applauded pic
tures of unusual beauty during the ex
hibition, a rather unusual , roced.ire.
The applause was probably meant for
the skillful photographer who succeeded
in getting so many odd pictures under
great difficulties.
Governor Brumbaugh, who intro
duced Sir Douglas to the audience, oc
i upied a box during the lecture and
bowel his appreciation to tiie explorer
at the conclusion.

BILL READJUSTS AFFAIRS
OF THE NATIONAL GUARD
Measure Introduced In the House To
day Embodies Now Military Code
Providing Divisional Organization
Urged By War Department
A new military code, based on the
requirements of the United States War
Department in relation to a divisional
organization of the National Guard, is
proposed in a bill introduced into the
House this morning by Representative
Adams, of Luzerne.
Under the terms of. the measure the
maximum number of companies of in
fantry has been reduced from ISO to
150. The artillery maximum has been
increased from live batteries tq twelve,
which will provide for two regiments
of field artillery of six batteries each.
The bill also provides for one regimeut
of cavalry, which is now organized. The
necessary complement of engineer aud
signal corps organizations is provided
for, as woll as field>hospitals and ambu
lance companies necessary to form a
properly balanced division.
The only State having such a divi
sion is New York, aud it that
the only other one that can possibly
furnish a division is Pennsylvania, but
whether or not a division can be organ
ized in this State will depend 011 the
increase to be made in the appropria
tion.
Another feature of the bill is the
change in the method of selecting com
missioned officers. Heretofore field of
.fleers of regiments have been elected
by the line officers. The bill provides
for their appointment by the Governor.
It provides for the appointment by the
Governor of captains and first lieuten
ants of companies, the men of the com
pany to elect second lieutenants. It is
believed this method will secure a
higher degree of efficiency, as officers
before being appointed will be required
to undergo examinations to prove their
fitness for commission.
Staff officers of regiments will be ap- 1
pointed by regimental commanders, as I
heretofore. The quartermasters and sub-'
sisteflce departments will be consoli-i
dated and known as quartermaster!
; corps. In all other respects the new I
law will be practically the same as the!
1 present law. The Adams bill, it is held,'
would place the National Guard in an j
advanced position, and practically con-!
form to the requirements of thj war de- ]
; partment as to organization, training ;
and discipline.
The bill, should it become a law, will
I become effective on June 1, next.

be legally proceeded wit'li at once, aud
that, said resolution was offered by the
Superintendent of Public Affairs as one
more of his numerous efforts for politi
cal buncombe only.
The Views of the Mayor
During the debate on the Roval
resolution yesterday the Mayor said
the question raised by his measure is
one of "humanity and dollars and
cents," and besides saving that it is a
Jifficult problem to deal with and prob
ably would mean added expense to the
city, he stated:
"Under the circumstances it seems
to me it should be done to give work
to the unemployed who do not care to
depend upon charity."
The. Republican Commissioners, both
at yesterday's meeting and before to
day '3 special session, declared them
selves in favor of any feasible plan to
put the city's unemployed at work,\but
they asserted they are at thoir wits'
end to know just what to do to carry
out the purpose without putting the
city to a gre.it amount of expense.
The prevailiug freezing tempera
tures, they argued, make it inadvisable
to order paving contractors to start, 1
work since experts advised them, they •
say, that paving work done now would
be very unsatisfactory and would cost
much more thau if it was done iu the •
hot wewther season.
The same is true with the buildiug 1
of sewers, they said, because the con- i
tractors would be'put to an extra ex-j
pense in order to protect his men from
the dangers of the iground caving in.
"UNCLE HENRY"MUCH PLEASEd
Points to Fact Senators of All Parties
Voted Against Abolishing His Post
The summary death of t'he project to
abolish t'he ofiiie of Secretary of . In
ternal Affairs, at present held by Henry
Houek, of Lebanon, was a source of
great gratification to "Uncle Henry,"
who was in the Senate yesterday at the
: time Senator Snyder, of Schuylkill,
wielded the snickersnee that separated
the cervical yertabrae of the bill, and
consigned it to au early grave.
One thing that seems to have been
forgotten in the plan to abolish tihe De
partment of Internal Affairs was that
jit would also have abolished the Board
of Pardons, that last refuge and hope
of every man convicted in the State.
The Constitution says that the Board of
Pardons shall consist of the Lieutenant.
Governor, the attorney General, the
Secretary of the Commonwealth aud
the Secretary of Internal Affairs. In
the abolition of any one of these of
fices, it was held by eminent attorneys
in tie State, tho Board of Pardons
would be disintegrated and it could not
do business: but that lias boen averted
by the killing of the proposed con
stitutional amendment to abolish
"Uncle llenry" llouek s job. Speak
! ing of the defeat of tiie measure Secre
[ tary Houck said to-dav:
"I won the fight to defeat that res
. olution by a majority. Every Sen
ator was for me and against Hie nieas
! ure. Republicans, Democrats and even
. the Progressive Senator, were for me.
I It was a wonderful victory, and I am
deeply grateful to my friends for their
. interest iu the defeat of the resolu
| tion."
| During this morning a large number
of friends called on Secretary Houck
; and congratulated him 011 the ilefeait of
1 the project that would have abolished
I his office.
