GERMANS SEIZE GOLD COIN
HELD BY MDOO'S SISTER
Berlin, March 22.—Mrs. Nona Mc-
Adoo Foster, who is a sister of the
American Secretary of the Treasury,
William G. McAdoo, entered a formal
complaint with the American Ambassa
dor Friday that the police here came
to her house on March 8 and forced
her, under penalty 'if searching the
apartment, to surrender 2.900 marks
(9725) in gold which she had stored
away for emergency.
The Ambassador immediately had the
complaint put into allidavit form pre
paratory to making a demand on the
German Foreign Office for the return of
the, money.
Investigation bv the German authori
ties disclosed that the gold had been
illegally purchased at a premium by
Angelo Scarpa, an adopted brother of
Mrs. McAdoo, with whom she has been
residing for several months.
Scarpa, in a swoin statement, de
clared that he had bought the gold
from a milkman for 1 per cent, prem
ium, not knowing that this was in vio
lation of the law. He said he had in
tended to go to t'he Cnited States, and I
had heard that tickets could be pur :
chased only with gold. Ijuer he
changed his mind, and decided to re- 1
main in Berlin.
Mr. Scarpa said that the money had,
been surrendered voluntarily to the'au
thorities and that Mrs. Foster had been
mistaken.
The Iteie'hsbank on Saturday sent ]
Mrs. Foster a message saying that the
gold was at her disposal at anv time.
SHOT FROM DOLPHIN HALTS
OUTWARD BOUND STEAMER
New York, March 22.—The Amer-1
ican steamer Santa Clara, outward
bound, was stopped to-day by a shot
fired across her bows in the lower har
bor by the dispatch boat Dolphin, sta
tioned there to watch outgoing steam
ers and preserve American neutrality
at this port. A mistake in the interpre
tation of signals and the failure of the;
Hanta Clara to stop brought the Do]- j
phin's guns to bear upon her. She j
was promptly released and proceeded.
The Santa Clare- cleared Saturday
for Havana. As she was passing quar
antine to-dav she displayed signal let
ters spelling out her name. The Dol
phin's lookout apparently thought she
had hoisted the wrong letters and a
-«bot was tired to halt her. As soon as
the Santa Clara stopped a navy tug
ran alongside and after a few moments'
conversation with the steamer's cap
tain she wa« permitted to continue on
•her way.

priests and two deacons to leave the
mission, and as they were passing
through the streets they were insulted
and mercilessly beaten,
j "In the courtyard of the Orthodox
: mission a gibbet was erected.
"An American missionary, Mr. Al
-1 len, who also was subjected to insults
land blows, succeeded in sending to Sel
ma two messengers to ask for prompt
assistance from the Russians to save
| the lives of the I'hristians. whom the
| mission was not able to protect."

'tiUX-FlliE' ox HAUOSCKABBI.F: I
Dr. Kalbfu3 Comparas Razing of Com- 1
munity to European Warfare
i Editor, the Star-Indcpeiulont:
| • Dear Sir:—The beautittcution of
j Harris-burg through the removal of!
!" Hardserabble" is no iioubt desirable,
but if secured by unfair or unjust ac-1
ti on toward the residents of that see-{
tion v.'ould lie in accord with tl\e prin- j
ciple controlling in Europe, and I can-!
not believe there are many in this City i
who will be satisfied tj have our City !
i improved or beautified In this way, or I
to add to her attractions by one jot or
tittle at the expense of anyone, es- J
penally the poor.
If "R;;rd.sc:av)blo" is worth having|
by the people at large, it is wort i pay-j
: ins lor every r-ent that it i> warta, to
I those whj may now own it, and a prii-e j
, shoub.l be paid by the City authorities 4
'just as an individual wouid be expect-!
Ed to pay. The action of or.r City of
iicials in its result to these people |
means just what the gun-'iro of tiic
enemy to the people in the war-zone i 1
Europe means. The destruction of,
their homes, the blighting of their lives
perhaps, and the tawing l away of the in-!
ieutive to improve then condition, ltj
means much cr little according to the |
manner in which the powers that be■
may lay its hand upon them.
fn spite of our utmost effort we I)3ve
am) always will liave cuor.gh pjor and
suffering with us. Don't lei us shed
crocodile tears over the Belgians or the
Germans or the Poles and then for auv
reason attempt to drag down to our
own peopTP, and tlii« applies to thos°
living upon either side of Front street
in that section of flarrisburg now
known as '' Ilardscrabble. "
M any of the people living on the op
posite side of the street from which
the buildings are to be removed, own
their little homes; all tlTey have in this
world is in that little home, and they
are not in position to purchase addi
tional property, or to pay a part of the
price the City may be called upon to
pay for the property on the other side
of the street; they are satisfied l"o let
things remain as they are. They arj
uot anxious to invest in landscape an
increased indebtedness spells ruin to
them.
They know that while the assertion
that the removal of the houses between
them and the river will increase the
value of their property looks well upon
paper it in reality means t>ut little to
anyone, anil nothing to the great ma
jority of those who own these proper
ties, for they do not care to sell their
property and they know they would
have trouble to secure a purchaser even
if they attempted to do so. They also
know that taxes on the increased val
uation of their property would soon
entirely destroy them.
These are serious questions for all
the people living in llarri&burg us well
;as those living'upon both sides of j
I Front street in the neighborhood of
" Hards •■rabble.'' and it is to be hoped
those in authority will so direct their
! gun-tire as to cause the least damage
j to each one in that section.
Respectfully yours,
Joseph Kalbfus.

FRENCH SOLDIERS IN KAXLWA T CIKKTAOttfI AT A BASK TOWN.
An engineer writing in the course of an article on "Railways in Modern Warfare," gave an interesting account of the value of the French railway
system. He wrote with reference to the transfer of troops to the front:—"The French railways have been greatly improved since 1870, and are to-day mudi
better equipped to handle heavy traffic. Paris la, like London, the centre of the different railways, and In order to get from one system to another one must
generally go via Paris. Lines such as the Grande and Petite Ceintures, In Paris are at present of enormous importance, as they enable troop trains to be
transferred from one main system to another. When the present war broke out the French War Minister divided the nation into two zones—that of the
armies and that of the interior —separated from each other by a line of demarcation, the first zone being controlled by the military authorities, the second
one remaining under the control of the railway companies. The French mobilization was carried out in a very businesslike way, and the ordinary train se>

I TO INSTALL EXTINGUISHERS
■ Directors of Poor Preparing to Combat
Fire at Almshouse
Coincident with recommendations of
the March llrai. I Jury, members of the
board ol' Dauphin County Directors of
the Poor, announced that they already
have made preparations for installing
fire extinguishers at the almshouse.
The directors feel that it would be
impracticable to hold fire drills at the
home, aa suggested by the jurors, in
view of the advanced "age of many of
the inmates.
The Children's Aid Society is mak
ing arrangements to place in private
homes, three youngsters who now are
being tared for at the county home.
The Grand Jurors' report may be read
at the Wednesday meeting of the
County Commissioners in view of Ihe
recommendation for a new court
