BICELOWSSECOND DEPUTY
ALSO IS UKELY TO RESIGN
Edward A. Jones. It Is Reported, Will
Be the Next to Quit the Highway
Department and Many Others Will
Follow—Foster's Resignation In
The resignation of Colonel Samuel
D. Foster, of Pittsburgh, chief en
gineer of the State Highway Depart
ment, is now in the hands of Governor
Brumbaugh, but its acceptance has
not yet been announced. If William
D. Ciller, assistant engineer in the
Bureau of Highways, Philadelphia,
will accept the place of chief engineer
he can have it, but when the job was
tendered to I'hler on Monday he ask
ed for a few days to consider the mat
ter.
As yet the Governor has made no
announcement of his appointment of
a successor to Edward M. Bigelow,
who retired as State Highway Commis
sioner to-day. It was thought that the
Governor would have before this an
nounced the appointment of Robert J.
Cunningham, of Pittsburgh, as Mr.
Biigelow.'s successor, but it is said the
Governor still is giving the matter
consideration. Mr. Cunningham is said
to have been asked if he would accept
the post if it were tendered him, and
it is considered that his appointment
is only a matter of time.
A report was current 011 Capitol
'Hill to-day that Edward A. Jones, of
Scranton,_ Second Deputy State High
way Commissioner, will soon retire by
resignation, and that this will be fol
lowed by other resignations, which
vvill virtually establish an entirely
new working force in the department
under the new commissioner. Mr.
Jones is one of the most active Re
publican party leaders in Lackawan
na county, and, it is said, will be a
candidate for a county office in the
spring elections.

has briefly been the property of Elks
lodges that have purloined it, in cities

Said elk some time ago found 'its
way to the. home of the Reading lodge
and last Saturday night four members
of the Harrisburg lodge, with malice

did surreptitiously seize and carry

There it was given the place of

Living in the primitive method of

Both the men were discovered
lodged in a damp and dismal cave
along the PaxtonVreek, south of Pax

Nine Women in Audience Get Away
With 30 Dozen Without Baskets
The management of the Colonial
Theatre, Third and Market streets, la<t
night placed a crate of thirty dozen
or 432 eggs on the stage, called live
women from the audience and told fhem
they could have all the eggs they coul i
carry,—but the management gave the
women nothing to use to carry them in.
The women filled their pockets but
they were at a loss to know where to
put the rest of the eggs that were left.
Four more women were called aud then
one of them hit upon the idea of lift
ing her skirt at the hem and thus mak
ing a receptacle.
The other women piled the eggs in
the big pocket thus formed and then
helped each other stock up in the same
way. The nine women, each carrying
four dozen eggs in her uplifted skirt,
paraded through the audience, out
through busy Market street and to a
nearby restaurant where they obtained
paper bags in which to take the eggs
home.

| iug the "'occupation by the Russians
of Salinas Plains, in Azerbaijan pro
vince, northwest of Urumiah, hundreds
of native Christians were rounded up
by the Turks in the village of Haftde
wan and massacred. Many of these
were searched out for the homes of
friendly Mohammedans who tried to
hide them.
The Russians on entering the village
found 720 bodies, mostly naked and
i mutilated. The recovery of bodies
i from wells, pools and ditches and their
burial kept 300 men busy for three
i days.
Wailing Women Intensify Horror
The wailing of women intensified the
horror of the scene. Surviving widows
who were able to identify the bodies of
their husbands insisted upon digging
graves and burying the bodies. Some
of the victims had been shot. In other
cases they were bound to ladders and
their heads, protruding through, were
hacked off. Eyes were gouged out
, and limbs chopped off.
A general massacre of the 10,000
or 15,000 Christians remaining in
Urumiah is expected, unless it should
be averted by orders from Constanti
nople.
Verbal messages from Urumiah con
firm earlier reports that more than
800 persons already have been killed
lin that neighborhood and that more
thim 2.000 have died of disease. These
messages also confirm the reports of
, the maltreatment of the Rev. Dr. P. T.
Allen, an American missionary at Uru

SO MOCK COLD MAKES
BANKER SHOW TEMPER
Half a Peck of ss, 1()s and 20s, Fig
uring in a $1 l,;tOO Real Estate
Transaction in the Recorder's Of
fice, Excites Curiosity of Crowd
Envious eyes were cast on a big
pile of gold coins, —enough ss, 10s and
20s to fill a half-peck measure, —that
was being counted in the otlice of the
County Recorder this morning, the
money having changed hands in a re
ality deal between a Mechanicsburg
bank and the Central Trust Company,
of this city.
John F. Dapp, of the Harrisburg
banking house, was handling the coins
in the "oflicial count. To Dapp's
right was Washington Shaffer, a repre
sentative of the Mechanicsburg bank.
Shaffer it was who produced the money,
—it was a $11,300 deal, —and as the
count was being made bystanders won
dered what it was all about. Dapp ap
peared to be out of humor, and pretty
soon he and Shaffer had a wordy tilt,
the subject of which the crowd could
not understand.
"Huh, didn't you get it," asked an
attorney of a man seeking an explana
tion. "Dapp wanted paper money and
instead Shaffer played a real April fool
joke 011 him by giving him gold. Now
he has a load on his hands and pos
sibly thinks he needs a bodyguard."
The transaction involved $11,300
and at first a check from the Mechan
icsburg bank was offi .« I. Cash was
preferred by the Harrisburg banker in
view of the fact that if the check were
accepted the "county" bank, follow
ing custom, would not make the actual
transfer of cash for possibly fifteen
days. Shaffer, thereupon, produced the
gold.

11.30 o'clock this morning found the
body of a baby girl about 1% months
old along the bank of a small creek
which runs through the wood. There
were no marks of violence on the body
and no indication that the child died by
drowning.
Th« body was taken to the funeral
chapel of Undertaker R. K. Spicer, 313
Walnut street, where the opinion was
expressed that the child died a natural
death and the body was placed there
by its parents to avoid paying funeral
expenses. The body was unclothed and
there is no clue to the parents. The

LATE WAR NEWS SUMMARY
The German War Office anno >nced
to-day that S:UM>o Russians were cap
tured in March. It was said semi-offi
cially in Petxograd that tlie German
siege of Casowetz had been definitely
abandoned. This was interpreted as
meaning that the German offensive in
the north had been given up. A Ber
lin dispatch, however, stated that the
German forcer were making progress in
the fighting along the east Prussian
border.
The holy war has resulted in a fur
ther massacre of Christians in Persia.
In one village the bodies of 720 Chris
tians were found by Russians. A gen
eral massacre of the 10.000 to t5,000
Christians remaining in the Urumiah
district is feared.
Hostilities between Russian and
Turkish armies in northwestern Persia
have been resumed. In a battle last
week 12,000 Turks were killed, wound
ed or captured.

recently have been operating so success
fully off the British Isles has sent an-

y. S. NOTE ONSINKING BF
FRYE IS SENT TO GERMANY
Washington, April 1. —The Ameri
can note to Germany over the destruc
tion of the American sailing ship Wil
liam P. Frve by the Gemarn raider
Prinz Eitel Friedrich, has been dis
patched to Berlin. Acting Secretary
Lansing of the State Department said
to-day the note would be made public
here as soon as it had time to reach
its destination.
The representations of the United
States concern only the vessel and do
not discuss the question of cargo
which the State Department is satis
fied was not American owned. The
note contends there was no justifica
tion for the sinking of the Frye; that
a neutral vessel carrying a cargo of
wheat, not confessedly contraband,
was sunk when a release of the vessel
would have involved no vital conse
quences to the Prinz Eitel Friedrich.
While no German official vtould dis
cuss the question to-day, it was learned
recently that the German ambassador,
Count Bernstorff, had recommended
the reimbursement of the owners of
the Frye for its full value and since
then officials of the Washington gov
ernment have assumed the case would
'be settled without difficulty.
AUSTRI A PROTESTS TO V. S.
Objects to Workmen's Compensation
Bill in Pennsylvania Legislature
By Associated I'regs.
Washington, April 1. —The Austro-
Hungarian embassy to-day presented
to the State Department a note calling
attention to the workingmen's com
pensation bill pending before the
Pennsylvania Legislature as being in
violation of the treaty of 1829 be
tween the United States and Austria-
Hungary. The contention was made
that discrimination against foreigners
would be permitted.
Objections was made to that section
which provides that non-resident wid
ows or children of alien workmen
would receive only 65 per cent, as
much compensation as those of Ameri
can workmen, and also to that section
under which no compensation would
go to non-resident parents or other de
pendent relatives of alien workmen.
