AtiREE OX COMPENSATION ACT Governor and His Advisors Have Har monious Gathering in Mansion At the close of the conference be tween Governor Brumbaugh and the leg islative committee created to carry out the Governor's personal platform, held jat the Executive mansion on Tuesday Governor Brumbaugh issued the follow ing statement: "This evening the joint legislative committee, the Secretary of the Coin ■nonwealth. the Attorney General and the li over nor, in a three-hour confer ence, went over substantially all the provisions of a workmen's compensa tion act. We agreed upon its cardinal features as expressed in the act pre pared by the Attorney General. The bill together with reasons for and against each section, will be issued next week, in pamphlet form for distribu tion to all the members of the Assem by and the newspapers of the State. The uuanimous judgment was that in this way the people would know in ad vance exactly what the act is, and what ; arguments may be t made for and against each section. Wide publicity is belfeved to be the only corrective of heedless apprehension and the true way to secure speedily a fair and certain compensation law. "The general provisions of an effec tive child labor law were freely dis cussed and its provisions amplified. For want of time its. detailed study was not completed. It was agreed," how ever, that a new and advanced law is absolutely necessary " The committee were guests of the ] Governor at diuner, and the discussion 1 was carried on throughout the meal. A WAVE OF SUICIDES Only Known Cause for Latest Schaef- j f erst own Death Schacfferstown,. Pa., Feb. 18. —De- ' velopments in the suicide of Frank [ Krumbiue, the Heidelberg township j farmer and to'>aeeo grower, show that j he was impelled to commit the act as [ a victim of the suicidal wave which j started thirteen days ago with that of | Alvin Binner, cashier of the First Na | tional bank, rather than because of | any real financial troubles. There is a mortgage on the Krum \ bine farm of 60 acres and there are notes outstanding. Krumbine's father-in-law, John i Henry Rover, is a wealthy Mill Creek township farmer, and for months he had been urged to sell his farm and take over the management of the ; large Rover farm. Every one of the notes Krumbine gave is amply secured, and it is de- ' ! cla red there was no disposition on the part of any cf his creditors to push him for the money. Officials of the First National bank here continue to maintain the strictest silence concerning its affairs, and it was imjiossible to learn whether it i holds any of Krumbine's notes. RAID COUNTERFEITING DEN Secret Service Men Find Molds For Small Change, Get Man and Woman Metuehen, N. J., Feb. 18.—Govern-' ment secret service men and Wood-j bridge township police raided a counter feiting plant at Ford's village, near here, Tuesday afternoon and captured Mrs. Mary Jokowitz and Michael Zur- j ka. They were taken to Newark and j arraigned before United States Com- j missioner Temple and held under 15,-1 000 bail each. Molds for 5, 25 and 50 cent pieces; were taken from the den. For a year past federal agents of New York and Brooklyn have been trying to clear up i the mystery of considerable counter-' feit money being circulated in New 1 York and in northern New JeTsev ' cities.

' APRIL 9 WILL BE BIRD BUY Clubs Are Being Organized All Over the State for Observance of the Event The setting apart of April 9 to be recognized as "Bird Day" this vear is meeting with wai;m commendation among lovers of birds the State over, and the indications are that the date will be very generally observed. Bird clubs are be.ng organized all over the State, .the object being to study and protect all song and insectiverous birds. In a circular just issued Dr. H. A. Surface, State Economic Zoologist, who is an authority on birds, says: "This bird club is not confined to any one section of the country in its ni uembersliip, and in its organization has received the support of prominent persons all over the country. As it has for its design only the purpose of studying and protecting the birds, it is worthy of support. '•The program for Bird Day can well include songs, recitations con cerning birds, essays cn the value of birds and the methods of inducing them to live around the premises; the methods of observing birds; where, when and how the different species nest; their food ami economic value, and any other topics that will sug gest themselves to thinking persons. '' There can be no doubt of the fact that the birds were placed under the dominion of mankind, the same as are all other creatures, but we have failed to provide for their preservation. In the so-called march of civilization their nesting conditions have been de stroyed, the native shrubs and trees furnishing them food have been cleared away to make room for cultivated plants, the house cat has been intro duced into this country and allowed to roam at will. While "other creatures coming under the direct influence of man have been domesticated and in crease in numbers, the birds have been decreasing considerably. Many species are doomed to mose or less speeiiy ex tinction if efforts be not taken to pre serve them, anil without their aid in sect pests would increasJß far worse than at present. Then the subject of, insect warfare will become one the most serious for mankind to face. Let all thoughtful persons do what is possible to stimulate intetest in Bird Day and in the study and preservation of the bi>ds." Cut This Out Now If you don't want it to-day, you may next week.

THIRD ST.- 1 "WHERE THE STYLES ORIGINATE" PRISONERS OF WAR Code of Honor by Which Their Treat ment Is Governed I In ancient times prisoners of war | were killed unless, of course, the bel ligerents found it more profltaible to | exchange or liberate tlieni for ransom, i But to-day nations are bound to one another by a code of honor which for bids inhuman treatment pf prisoners. Prisoners are subjected to no pun ishment in any form. Neither must they be placed in a convict prison, al though they may be detained in a fortress, camp or town. A reasonable supply of nourishment must be provid ed then by their captors, and they are regarded as beiug in the power of the government of the captor and uot un der the control of those who actually capture them. All personal belongings remain in the custody of the prisoner, but arms, horses and military papers can be con fiscated, these constituting booty. Governments can put their prisoners of war to work, but only such work *as accords with the prisoner's rank and capacity; also the work must not be excessive or relate to military matters, and in all cases must the labor be paid for. , A prisoner always lives in hope of being exchanged for a prisoner of his own government. The exchange is ef fected in accordance with agreements, ,in which time, place and method of ex change are fully detailed. This is gen erally that of strict equivalents, man for man, rank for rank, disability for disability. An officer can obtain a greater free dom of movement or certain privileges while beiug a prisoner of war if toe makes out a parole, a written or verbal promise. An officer giving his parole pledges his honor to refrain from a par ticular course of conduct, and if he makes a breach of this guarantee he is liable to the extreme penalty.—Pear son 's Weekly.
