"Be sides several letters and other docu meats implicating several San Fran eisco men in Caplan's activities, wej l'ound three sticks of eighty per cent, dynamite similar to that bought near Richmond, Cal., and use*! to destroy the 4 Times.' "Caplan had a loaded pistol under his pillow, but three of our men burst) into his room and overpowered him before he could offer resistence.

LATE WAR NEWSSUffIMARY Continued From First Page. no departure from the position Germany has taken. The influential "LoKal Anzeiger" says that "we Germans have resolved to tight without regard for the consequences.'' The second of the British bi-weekly reports from the front speaks of severe j fighting near Ypres. on the western end of the battle lines. German attacks gained possession of several British, trenches, which, however, were won' back subsequently. The Austrian troops are reported to be continuing their victorious advance through Bukowina. rolling back the extreme eastern end of the Russian line. A London dispatch says that the Rus sians have now evacuated all of Buko wina. Official reports from Petrograd and Vienna speak of encounters of great severity in the Carpathians, but apparently no decision is near. In Northern Poland the Russians are mak ing desperate efforts to stay the ad vance of the German army which drove them from East Prussia, and the fight ing now in progress is reported by the Petrograd war office as "reaching the climax of stubbornness." The German War Office in to-day's communication asserts that substantial progress has been made in the invasion of Northern Russia along the German border, following the expulsion of the Russian army from East Prussia. The Germans are said to have captured i Tauroggen, in the province of Kovno. as well as several villages further south. In Central Poland, along the Warsaw front, the situation is un-j changed. The attack of the allies in the west, supposedly to prevent the Germans from developing their offensive move ment in Russia, has led to several en- [' gagements at several points in Belgium and France. The German War Office admits that the French were tem- 1 porarily successful in a battle near Ver-. dun. but says that later they were driven back. SING SING MAN GETS FOBD JOB I Automobile Factory Employs Prisoner Recently Discharged Detroit. Feb. 19.—The Ford auto-, mobile factory has accepted a man re-1 centlv discharged from Sing Sing. i : Before a federal investigation com mission in New York recently Henry | Ford contended that he could make 'an | honest man of any criminal, no matter ; ' how bad. if he could employ him under ' proper conditions. j 1 John R. I.ee, head of the Ford socio- ■ 1 logical department, denied a report that Warden Osborne, of Sing Sing, had ar range.! with Mr. Ford, at the latter's request, to send all discharged prison- < erst» Detroit in order that Mr. Ford's I theory might be proved. 31 NORTH SECOND STREET ! DECLARES WOMEN IN BEER | GARDENS INJURE BUSINESS Caatlnurit From Firat Pace. take men to Harrisburg to see our goods and for some reason they get sway from us. When we find them, they are in some hotel with two or three women and drunk. This happened but a short time ago 81 the Hoffman House. "It happens not only in night time, i but during the day. We think the side rooms should be shut to women and girls. Harrisburg is much better, to-day than it was a year ago, but the side j rooms are the breeding places of bad women and girls. We don't ask you to i refuse the licenses but we would like to see you make clean hotels aud you 1 can do it, too." W. F.. Straub, of Berrvaburg. is the writer of the letter opposing granting of a license to W. H. Bowman for the St. Lawrence hotel, in that town. Straub mentions two men whom he refers to as habitual drunkards. Out of thirteen trips one of these men male to the hotel, he departed intoxicated eleven times, so Straub alleges. The court di rected that the letters be filed and that the attorneys for the applicants shouKi i be given proper notice. The letters will be considered later. A Niddletown Hotel Attacked Most of the morning was taken up with hearing testimony in the case ot I Harry White, who recently took over the Ann street hotel, Middletown, from ■ John A. Haas, and whose application I for a renewal of the license i# being j opposed by more than 125 residents ot the Second ward. Middletown. and more than six hundred residents of the bor i oug'n. White's application is signel by 125 qualified elector? of the ward in which he seeks to do business and he also filed a general petition signed by 353 ejectors from all three of the borough wards. The remonstrants closed their : rase just as :he morning court session was adjourned. Persons living iust a, TOSS the street from the hotel this morning declared that they for years had been deprived of the enjoyment of sitting on their front porches because of alleged boist erioiH and offensive conduct of the fre quenters of the hotel. One woman stated that she many times was obliged to go to the hotel to get her husband and that not once did she find him j sober. Samuel lerley, who for many years i has conducted the Samaritan Free Mis sion. which is located about a block and a half from the hotel, besides say ing the hotel is not necessary and is a nuisance, declared that the frequenters | in the past became so boisterious at | time? as to make it dangerous for ped estrians to pass the place at night. Con j sequentlv, he said, he changed his course in going home so that he would not be obliged to pass the hotel in go i ing to and from the town's business , section. Former Burgess Testifies C. B. Erisman, former burgess of , Mid.'.'let own. whose home immediately ■ adjoins the hotel, said he didn't care ito admit that the section in which the 1 hotel is located is a " bad '' one but he did admit thait other townspeople regarded it as such. For two or three years anli up until last fall, he said, he frequently saw drunken men in an.' around the hotel: many times was an ! noved by their singing and fighting and onee was obliged to appeal to the then proprietor to prevent the playing of a phonograph "which was run from early evening until nearly midnight." The former burgess said at least one woman of ill repute had frequented the place, but he thought it would be bet ter if the court and counsel for White would not force him to teJl her name. He was not pressed further for her name. William Srtipe, janitor of a s.-hool building located within a block of the hotel, said he "saw a peg-legged fel low many times go into the piace when he was drunk but I never saw him come out.'' Stipe added that he had not noticed this since White has had the hot-el. J. A. Kain. an Ann street business man, said he iocs not believe the hotel js a necessity. "I have not used a drop of liquor for more than a year." he said, "but 1 do know that liquor caused me to lose 16.000 and more." Kain apparently took offense at the manner of cross-examination when White's counsel asked if he did not stop drinking*when his wife or sents the amount of a judgment- note 1 ' which lie gave to Mrs Mary 1* Graup . lier, owner of the Graupner brewery, t As security for the judgment note, he 1 said, he gave a first mortgage on his 1 | property which he values at $1,200. White said that since he has been in j charge of the hotel he has sold on an I average of a barrel of beer a day. He P has not allowed nor does he propose to 1 permit the cabaret feature at his hotel. r he said. He also projoses. he said, to 11 1 provide proper facilities for entertain -1 iug strangers and traveler?. : EXPECT RESULTS FROJM TRADE TRIP 3 Continued From First Pnf*. k comparison.

I The man engaged in this work of destruction, it is held, does not have • a license to practice as a taxidermist, - as required under the law, and it is i the supposition of the State Game Com j mission that lie learned taxidermy i through a correspondence school of the i West which professes to teach and ad : vertise that their work is in the inter i ests of science anil that those who take it up can "make big money.," It was found that the man engaged 'in the work had taken anything ami everything in the shape of a bird, 1 : mounted them in a crude way and sold them. Some of fche birds are of an al most extinct species, but that made no difference to the man, it is alleged. He killed them and sold them. The ruffed grouse he sold at $1 each, brown 1 thrushes for 50 cents and snow bunt- I ings f A 75 The rose-breasted, grosbeak, a most rare bird, he had ; killed and mounted, but their price was - not marked.

To explain this side of the move ■ ment the well-known economist of i Ithaca is especially fitted.

ALL CLUES TOBE RUN DOWN County Authorities Continue In Their Efforts to Solve the Allison Hill Skeleton Mystery The experience of the county au thorities in the case of Bessie Guyer, who has been located well and happy, will probably be repeated time and time Utgain before a solution is reached to the perplexing tangle surrounding the finding of the ske'etou of a young girl in the cellar at 133 South Four teenth street, last Friday. Neighbors are lending the authori ties valuable aid and District Attorney Stroup will follow every clue of a "missing" girl until the end is reach ed whether it be the same that came out of the Bessie Guyer search or one that cannot be traced, evidencing in a slight degree that she may be the vic tim. The anonymous note sent to the Dis trict Attorney turned the attention of the investigators to a more detailed ex amination ol the neighbors, who are giving what help they can. District At torney Stroup said that efforts are be ing made to find the names of girls who may at one time have been in that house. Getting the identity of a\ pos sible victim, he believes,'is the first | step in solving the mystery. The name 1 of the writer of the anonymous note has not yet been learned. Bessie Guyer was located yesterday by County Detective Walters. She is the wife of Charles W. Campbell and is living in Chambersburg. She could give | no information of value to Detective i Walters.

Dr. William i Nathan Yates, pastor of the Fourth Street Churoh of God, will speak on "Why the Church Gets Whipped," Sunday afternoon to men only. This talk will be a sequel to last'Sundav night's sermon on "God's Call for .Men," when the Rev. Mr. Yates ad dressed a large crowd of prominent politicians, lawyers and other profes sional men. In his talk Sunday the Rev. Dr. Yates will take his text from the killing of Eli's sons and the deat'h of Eli, show ing hereby why the church is such an impotent factor in the manv questions of daily life. These talks are exclusively for men | only and that they are creating much , interest is evidenced by the large at [ tendance. Even now the class is con fronted with the problem of more room, but this is expected to be solved within the near future.
