This is Billy. He weigned 82 pounds when he was eight months old, but he was getting too big for his age, and his parents "banted" him, and now, at ten months ho weighs only 75 pounds—accent on the '' only." This picture shows him at three months old, a bright, happy, contented, cheerful little—no, not little—but chubby chap, willing to play with you and sit up and take notice. That is, he will sit up if you help him and will hold him while he is sitting up. Ho is the biggest baby ever seen in Harris burg under one year old. Billy's name is William Earl Mc- Carthy, and he is the second child of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. McCarthy, of 115 Locust street. Billy was born In Rochester, N. Y., and at his birth weighed nine pounds, twelve ounces. He began to take on weight almost imme diately, and every time his mother lift ed him he had taken on a couple of more pounds, so that she doesn't lift him very much now. It takes a strong man to lift Billy the way ba'bies are generally lifted. When he hail attained a weight of 82 pounds, at eight months, by a system of treatment, his weight was reduced to 67 pounds, but he soon began to pick CIFID TRINIPHS 111 HIE House Rills the Meas ure Designed to Double the Cost of Marriage Licenses AUTHOR ADMITS BACHELORHOOD Representative Lee Smith. After Con fessing That He Is in No "Danger of a Matrimonial Alliance," Sees His Bill Laughed to Death The marriage license bill doubling the fee that may be collected by county of ficials by fixing the amount at $2 was literally "laughed to death" in the House of Representatives this morning. Tho measure fell by a vote of 45 for and 97 against. ' Representative Lee Smith, Payette, the sponsor for the bill, who said he backed it because the clerical work of preparing license papers had been dou bled by the 1913 Legislature, was the butt of good natured raillery. Representative Walter, of Chambers burg, was tho first to open fire and when permission was granted to question Mr. Smith he asked if Smith is a mar ried man. Smith promised to answer the query if Walter would first tell the HOUSJ if he is a bachelor. "I am married," replied Walter. "I am single," returned Smith. "I want to know if the gentleman ever was jilted," inquired Mr. Snyder, of Westmoreland. " If I have ever been it has not been by a person worth more than sl," Smith replied W. H. Wilson, of Philadelphia, en tered the contest and wanted to know if Smith was in "immediate danger of Cautlnunl on Seventh I'nKr. BARTON D.

He shows tiiem when he laughs, and Billy does a good deal of laughing, just like other fat and jolly folks. When a prize contest was started in another city for the most popular baby, Billy's picture was among those shown and he walked off—no, he didn't walk, impossible—he got the first prize of $l5O. He also got a diamond ring, which he wears proudly on his ring finger, but it sinks into the fat so far that you can hardly s- ■ it. Billy also has two other diamond rings, taKeii as prizes, and more prize cribs than he can <"se, all given him. An undershirt for a 10-year-old boy is a tight fit on Billy. All day long he lies and crows and talks to himself—or tries to —and some times he sings, but not often. His great delight is to sit in a big chair in the window and look out at the peo ple passing by, but very few get by without stopping to admire the big, fat rascal, who grins and has all kinds of fun. j'rominent Harrisburg physicians who have seen Billy say that he will con tinue to take on weight, and will, when 4 years old, be a regular giant. Now you know Billy McCarthy.

FIR IE 160 Men Still Entomb ed by day's Explosion in West Virginia Coal Fields WORK OF RESCUE IS VERY TEDIOUS Owing to Wrecked Condition of Mine It May Be Days Before Workings Have Been Explored In Search Tor Victims By Associated Press. Hinton, W. Va., March 3. —Rescue parties worked in relays throughout the night in a feverish effort to penetrate the depths of the Layland mines of the New River and Pocahontas Consolidat ed Coal Company, seven miles from Quinniinont, where 182 minors were en tombed by an explosion yesterday. Ten men have so far bron taken out alive, while nine bodies have been brought to the surfaco but owing to the wrecked condition of the mine, rescue work is tedious and it maiy be days before the workings have been explored. James W, Paul, chietf mining engin eer and his assistant, H. D. Mason, Jr., from the Pittsburgh station of the Bu reau of Mines, were expected to arrive here to-day and take chargo of the rescue work. State Officials Probing Disaster Earl Hen,y, chief of the State De partnient of Mines and Inspectors John I. Absolom anil L. B. llolliday, arrived last night from Charleston and at once began an investigation into the cause of the explosion. An inquiry was also being made by the county authorities into the disaster but it was not believ ed that a Coroner's jury would be im panelled and begin hearing evidence until all the missing had been account ed for. Despite the cold, crowds of anxious relatives of the entombed men waited just outside of the roped off enclosure at the mouth of the mine all night. As fast as the bodies were brought to the surface, they were taken to the tem porary morgue which was erected a few hours after the explosion and later the relatives will be permitted to at tempt to identify them. Three More Bodies Recovered Trained miners, working* direction of engineers of the Federal Bureau of Mines, to-day penetrated the entire length of the main entry in the Layland mine. Three bodies were re covered, bringing the known dead to 13. Leaders of the rescue crews ex pressed the opinion that when the rooms wer e reached many more bodies would be found. Karl Henry, chief of the West Vir ginia Mining Department, said the workings were tilled with afterdamp and he believed many lives had been lost. The rescuers are erecting brat tices as they advance, driving the aft erdamp before them, but the chief saiJ ho thought two or three days might pass before the mine was cleared. Officers of the company refused to day to make an estimate of the number of men who entered the workings yes terday as records of men employed in mines usually considered safe are not often kept. A carload of coffins arrived at the mine this morning. Washington, March 3. — The indict ment of Werner Horn in lijston for carrying dynamite on a passenger train, again delays the question of his extra dition to Canada on the charge of at tempting to blow up tho Canadian Pa cific bridge over t'ho St. Croix river.
