STOP WAR MATERIAL TRADE:
GET DYE, SAYS BERNSTORff
Washington, D. C., April 8. —The
dyestuffs famine that threatens to close
about 270 cotton and woolen mills in
the United States could be averted,
Count Bemstorff, the German Ambas
sador thinks, if the United States
would put an embargo 011 war supplies.'
This, he asserts, should be done as a
retaliation for the embargo against
German dyes.
There is little hope of averting a
famine in dyes. Within a month most
of the mills that use dyes made in Ger
many or England or France will be
without dyestnffs. The State Depart
ment is unable to move Great Britain
to lift the blockade that bars German
dyestuffs. Seventy-four per cent, of the
dyestuffs of the world are made in Ger'
many.
"It is our understanding," said Dr.
Thomas H. Norton, of the Department
of Commerce, "that Germany has on
hand a good stock of dyes that are nu
demand in this country. The nitric
supply has not been materially re-
by the manufacture of explos-

have no definite information on the
German dyeituffs supplies, but it is
generally understood that there is no
shortage in them in Germany yet.
"By the end of April the situation
among the mills that use dyestuffs
made in Germany will be serious."
PADEREWSKTSAILS FOR
U.S. TO ASK AID FOR POLES
London, April 8. —Ignace Paderew-j
ski sailed from Liverpool with his wife |
on the Adriatic yesterday, on a mission j
to arouse Americans to give financial j
aid to Poland. The pianist's whole soul j
is wrapped up in tie undertaking.
"I won't play while I am there,"
he said. "I cannot get myself to touch j
a piano. All my thoughts are upon |
Imy suffering kinsmen. Knowing the!
generous hearted Americans, I feel they!
will respond as nobly as they have
with Belgium."
Paderewski lost nearly his whole for
tune in the devastation of his home in
Poland. Rich art treasures and other
valauble accumulations were utterly de
stroyed. Paderewski will remain in
America for some months.
Approves Jitney Company Charter
The Public Service Commission held
an executive session last night and ap
proved the application for a charter
for the Jitney Transportation Company
of Harrisburg, and it now goes back
to the State Department and thence to
Governor Brumbaugh for his approval.
As the Governor generally accepts the
action of the Commission as final, it is
expected the charter will soon be is
sued. The company proposes to operate
5-cent-fare auto 'buses in this city and
Steelton.

F. HOFKN SIHITfI DIES
Author, Artist and Engineer, Aged 77,
Passe* Away at His Home
In New York
By Aisociated Prets.
Xew vYork, April. B.—fP. Hopkinson
Smith, author and artist, died last night
at his 'home 'here. 'He was 77 years old.
The genius of (Francis Hopkinson
Smith, manifested itself in many
branches of activity. His reputation as
an artist was only second to that as an
author, while as a practical engineer
•he won high standing. Sixteen years
after his 'birth in Baltimore in 1836 he
left school and went to work, first as a
shipping clerk and afterwards in a
metal industry. Subsequently he studied
mechanical engineering however, and
permanent results of 'his work in this
line of endeavor came in the construc
tion of sea walls a£ Tompkinsville,
Staten Island, Governor's Island, in
•New York harbor; Race Rock light
house, near New Conn., and
the foundation for the Statue of Lib
erty in New York harbor.
'Mr. Smith's artistic bent developed
early and he became the producer of
numerous successful paintings and oth
er work, many of which won recognition
at art expositions.
It was undoubtedly, however, ae an
autthor that iMr. Smith was best known
as he was a prolific writer of novels,
Aort stories and books of travel, many
of which he illustrated himself. His
tales of the South, of New York and of
New England won him fame, which was
added to by other literary work, thfe
charm of which was widely recognized.
Aaaong the best known novels were
"Caleb West," "Tom Grogan," "The
Tides of Barnegat" and "Fne 'Fortunes
of Oliver Horn.''
During t'he latter years of 'his life
Mr. Smith spent much time in Europe
where he loved to paint in the out
doors.
Amateur Sleuth Nearly Kills Father
Hazleton, Pa., April B.—Commission
ed as a private detective by a New
York agency, w'h.ich is alleged to have
armed 'him wit'h a revolver, Stephen
Motto, of Hazleton, used his weapon
in an argument with his father, whose
agility in ducking profoa/bly saved 'his
life. Bullets imbedded themselves in
the door as 'he fled". The young man
was locked mp fcy the police.
New High School for Lebanon
Lebanon, April B.—Lebanon will get
a new High school building and in all
piobability it will be located on the
quarter • block surrounded by Chestnut
street, Sixth street, Strawberry and
Church alleys. Options have been se
cured by the Lebanon school controllers
on the ground for $41,400, anil at a
special meeting of the Board next Mon-1
day evening final action will be taken
in the matter. The proposed site is
198 feet square.
Confesses to Burglary at Pottsville
Lebanon, April B.—After a gruelling
third degree in his cell at the county
jail, Raymond Forry, of this city, who
ih charged with burglarizing C. Q,
Campbell's hardware store, this city,
has confessed to the crime of burglariz
ing a residence in Pottsville. The con
fession was made to Bergoant C. Smith,
of the State police, Pottsville, and* Po
lice Chief John 0. Zironiermau, of this
city.
NO LONGER A RIVEROF DOUBT
U. S. Charts Tell How to Safely Beach
,the Mouth of the Kus
kokwim
Washington, D. C., April B.—The re
cent announcement by the Department
of Commerce of the discovery of a prac
ticable channel into the
river, Alaska, attracted widespread in
terest. The interest will be renewed by
a notice just issued by the department
to the effect that the Coast and Geodetic
Survey has printed two companion
charts, one of Kuskokwim bay and one
of the river. Both charts arc supple
mented by leiflcts of sailing directions,
containing a full description of the
courses which should be followed, the
landmarks and other details of impor
tance to the navigator.
These charts furnish the long sought
answer to the question of how to reach
in safety the mouth of the river from
the sea. For the first time the naviga
tor has the means to avoid the decep
tive blind channels which penetrate
the shoals of the delta and a guide to
follow the river channel as it winds its
way through the mud banks of the riv
er bed.
These charts give the results of
four years of persistent effort in face of
adverse weather, many hardships and
some danger. With their aid, this great
river valley becomes accessible. The
rssourc.es of a territory covering many
thousands of square miles await de
velopment by those who will grasp the
opportunity. The chart makers have
blazed the way.
BOY CHARGED WITH ABSON
He Just Fired Building to See the
Horses Bun
Pittston, Pa., April B.—Unable to re
sist the temptation to tell a playmate
how he ha<l set fire to the storehouse
<_>f the Pure Oil Company, "to see the
horses run," Charles Riser, 11 years
old, was arrested by city police yester
day. He admitted the offense. The boy
was on parole of the juvenile court.
A few mont'hs ago he and some other
lads placed stones on the Lehigh Valley
tracks, in an attempt to wreck the
Black Diamond express. The obstruc
tion was discovered before the train ar
rived. He confessed when fhe police
traced the plot to him. Judge Fuller
sent him to Glen Mills vosterday. He
is an orphan.
