Evidence Found in Cabin
"We found much valuable evidence
in Caplan's cabin," said Thayer. "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. He was i
suffering from toothache and was in
uo mood to make trouble.
•'('apian has aged somewhat since
we lost trace of him four years ago. ;
His hair has turned grey but he looked
to be in good health. Prom papers
found in Caplan's cabin, we learned
that he has a wife, Mrs. Florence Ca -
lan. and two children living in Chi
cago.
Was Roaming About the World
"Caplan said that for two years be
fore buying his property at Rolling
Bay. he had been roaming about the
world, having gone to London. Paris
an.l other European cities. He also ad
mitted having lived at the Home
Anarchist Colonev, near Tacoma. We:
traced him there once, but lost the trail '
and were unable to pick it up again '
until after the arrest ,>f Schmidt in i
New York.
•'t'aplan. after his arrest, was very
talkative all the way ba k to Port
Orchard, admitting his identity freely j
and making no effort to evade ques
tioning.
"Caplan's bank book shows that he
has been well supplied with money from
outside so\:r'-e<. Valuable evidence con
necting these sources with the dyna- ,
mite conspiracy was found among Cap
lan's papers."
Two Indictments Against Caplan
Los Angeles. Feb. 19. —Two indict

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

Before a federal investigation com
mission in New York recently Henry |

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 <ered
two hotel men to furnish him nj more.
He said: "A man isn't tied to the ho
tel. but it is the temptation."
Aims to Show Conditions Changed
Kain said in his opinion the hotel
is not a fit place for the accommoda
tion of strangers and travelers, "and
besides," he added, "Middletown,
which has a population of but 5.000,
has twelve licenses, and Harrisburg,
with a population of 65,000, has only
sixty-three hotels."
He then went on to tell of a "sys
tem" which he said, was conducted at
the Ann street place, when he was a
drinking man. The window at the rear
of the bar room, he said, was on pulleys !
and young men and young women fre-j
quently, in days gone by, "got a can'']
by slipping it in the window.
'"lt is a bucket place." he said,'
"and J venture to say that more growl
ers were sold at that hotel than at all
the rest in Middletown put together."
Kain argued with White's counsel
; on the question of labor conditions in
Middletown aud added that the section
t ! in which the hotel now is located is
. practically a "blind" district, the
) bridge over the Pennsylvania railroad
at Brown's lane, the principal outlet,
having been closed this week.
r Counsel for White, at the close of the
' morning adjournment, said he would
■' show* that their client has changed con
p ditions at the hotel since he assumed
® control recently, and will show further
by bills of sale, more beer has been sold
• at the hotel within the last twelve
e months than for several years past.
White Tells ot Hotel Purchase
White, the applicant for the Anu
e street hotel license, went on the stand
I at the opening of the afternoon session.
II He just recently acquired the hotel
e business. He detailed his plans for
a improving rtie hostelry and told how he
proposed to conduct it. should he obtain
c a renewal of the liqense. He also ex-
J plained the circumstances under which
c he bought the hotel.
0 He sai Ihe bought it from Johu A.

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

them. Some of fche birds are of an al
most extinct species, but that made no

T.ie selection of au economist, a

I showing conclusively that war does not
pay and cannot accomplish the end for
j which it was created, a. the same time
i offering the world a substitute for it.
To explain this side of the move

ANOTHER ZEPPELIN LOST:
FOUR Of OEW DROWNED
Copenhagen, Feb. IS, via London,
Feb. 19, 3.4 9 A. M.—Confirmation has
been received here that a second Ger
man airship has been wrecked off the
coast of Jutland. The Zeppeiin L 3 ex
ploded on Fance Island Wednesday and
another Zeppelin commanded by Cap
tain Count Platen, sank to the shallow
coastal water ten miles north of Es
bjerg, Jutland, to-day. Four of the crew
were drowned but the others managed
to get ashore. Some of them were suf
fering from broken legs and other in
juries. In all three officers and eight
men escaped. Count Platen had both
legs broken. The airship drifted to sea.
The survivors say that they were on
patrol duty over the North Sea when
the weight of snow on the envelope
caused the airship to sink to the sur
face of the water. The survivors when
they gained the shore first represented
themselves as fishermen, hoping there
by to escape interment. Afterwards,
however, they admitted thg truth. They
will be interned at Odense, 87 miles
southwest of Copenhagen with the men
who escaped from the Zeppelin wrecked
Wednesday. It is understood that at
the time of the accident the whole Zep
pelin fleet was patrolling the North
Sea just outside Danish waters.
London, Feb. 19, 11.15 A. M.—The
activity of Zeppelin airships over the
North Sea continues, telegraphs the cor
respondent at Copenhagen of the Lon
don "Star," and this iu spite of the
fact that two airships recently have
been lost Gaps iu the fleet caused by
disaster are being filled by Zeppelins
drawn from the airship stations in

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

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

they drilled about the school room, led
by one of their number tattooing away
on a drum.

DOG ADOPTS THE MAYOR
Newcomer at Police Headquarters
SLapg on His Honor's Couch
A white terrier dog, black spotted
and very dirty, has adopted Mayor
Royal for a master. The Mayor al
ready has a dog and he turned the
newcomer over to Charles T. Fleck,
desk officer, who will keep it until
Johnny Grissinger, rhe custodian, be
comes weary of it. Johnny is the boss
of police headquarters in things canine.
When the Mayor arrived in his office
this morning the dog was comfortably
sleeping on His Honor's big leather
couch. The appearance of the city's
Chief Executive only caused the animal
to roll over on its back inviting the
Mayor to play with it. Hovy tfhe animal
got into the sanctum is a mystery.
