NEWS OF STEBLTOIS
DETECTIVE DURNBAUGH IN
DUEL WITH DESPERADO
Subdues Prisoner With Blackjack Aft
er Much Quick Sidestepping to
Avoid Razor Cuts Which Captor
Said Were Made at Him
Detective I. M. Durnbaugh had an
exuiting time with a recalcitrant pris
oner whom he had placed under arrest
at the prisoner's home in Harrisburg
last night and, according to the de
tective's versiot. of the affair, had a
narrow escape from being seriously
slashed with a keen-edged razor before
the handcuffs were fastened to the re
sisting one.
Earlier in the evening Durnbaugh
was given a warrant for the arrest of
Ross R. Dickey, Hamilton street, Har
risburg, on information made by his
wife, Bessie, who charged that lifer hus
band had committed an assault on her,
showing numerous lacerations of the
throat and neck where, she alleged, her
husband had choked her on the even
ings of May 6 and 7.
When the detective reached the Dick
ey home the man was found in bed.
The warrant was served on the reclining
man, who then arose, dressed and fol
lowed the detective downstairs. Under
pretext of getting some article in the
kitchen, Dickey led the way, closely
followed by Durnbaugh. In the semi
darkness of the room Durnbaugh no
ticed the man grab something from a
cupboard and turn defiantjy on him.
Quickly turning on a flashlight, he
found the man had seized a razor, and
it was only by quick sidestepping he
avoided being cut by the many numer
ous thrusts Dickey aimed at him.
Pulling his club out, he finally land
ed a blow on Dickey's head which sent
the razor-wielder to the floor and in a
few seconds the steel bracelets were
placed on the prisoner's wrists. In ad
dition to the charge of Mrs. Dickey,
the defendant will have to face charges
of felonious assault and battery with
intend to kill and resisting an officer
which Durnbaugh will present at the
hearing to be held before Squire Gard
ner next week.

MANY AT HILLIS MEETING
Evangelist Discoursed Last Evening on
"The Church in Action, or Re
vivals"—Splendid Singing
The tabernacle was well filled last
evening and the splendid singing of
the large (Mioir was favorably com
mented on. A delegation of more than
sixty persons, members of the S. of C.
E., from the Highspire United Breth
ren church, had a reservation in the
tabernacle and by request sang a se
lection. Prayer was offered by the Rev.
Mr. Rhoad, pastor of the U, B. church,
Highspire.
Evangelist Hillis pr.eached from Psa
86-6, and Isa 59-1:2. Theme, "The
Church in Action or Revivals." He
eaid: "The first text is the cry of the
people after God; and the second text
points out the failure of the church.
A genuine revival is the normal state
of the church. Those who strike at re
vivals, strike at the heart of the church
and those who oppose revivals are like
the devil who approves their attitude.
The business jx-ople believe in a re
vival of business, and Christians should
believe in a revival of religion. Some
object to evangelistic movements be
cause it takes monev out of town."
He said "church people are bug
house. To such people it is all right for
a circus to take $30,000 out of town,
but all wrong for the churches to
spend SSOO on a religious campaign
for souls. It is all right for a prize
lighter to win SIOO,OOO in a single
day, but all wrong for an evangelist
to receive a few hundred dollars for
six weeks of soul savirog work. In many
places they need a back door revival,
that is turn useless members out of the
church.''
He closed his sermon toy pleading for
a revival of Christian responsibility; a
revival of Christian work, and for a re
vival of the preaching of the old
gospel. The Saturday evening meeting
will be High school night or young
people's service. The theme for this
services will be "Elements of Success
in Life."

everybody from five to seventy-five.
Come in and get your funnv bone tic

masterpiece, is a wonderful drama,
showing Gertrude McCoy and Edward
Karle in this great story of a woman
sacrificing her honor through her great
love for art, to find that "Greater
Than Art" is her new soul-thrilling
and pure love for another young man
for whom she* sacrifice her future in
art for which she already had paid a
price. An unusual and strong theme,
powerfully played' with rar e emotional
power, showing the struggle v between
the two loves. "The Ijonelv Lovers,"
a two-reel Selig, finishes up this Satur
day program.—Adv. *

If you talk of modern dancing—
which quite a few "eccentrics' are do

seldom Donald Brian, one of "the three

was the man who dances and sings so
expertly in this musical comedy ctiming
to the Majestic Wednesday evening.
May 12, that started the new type of
■ball a-rolling. Most of us have for
gotten the fact that when Mr. Brian
made himself the waltz kiug—or, more
accurately, prince—of "The Merry
Widow," it was the original "hesita
tion" that danced into fame with him.

Attorney General Says
Proposed Compensa
tion Law Doesn't Vi
olate Italian Treaty
HE DEFENDS
THE MEASURE
Head of Pennsylvania Law Department
Takes Issue With the Federal Sec
retary of State Who Wrote Letter
to Governor Brumbaugh
Secretary (Bryan, of the Department
of State, Washington, it became known
here to-day, addressed a letter to Gov
ernor Brumbaugh stating 'tihat " tihe De
partment is of opinion that the pro
posed compensation act, uow under con
sideration of the Legislature, is viola
tive of the provisions- of the treaty of
February 25, 1913, between the United
States and Italy," in that it apparent
ly discriminates against alion dependent
widows and children not residents of
t'he United States as *.-om;ared with
residents in the matter of t>lie amount
of compensation to bo paid; discrimi
nates against alien dependents not res
idents of the United States, as com
pared wit'h residents, in the matter
of computing future installments of
compensation,-by providing for the pay
ment of such aJien dependents of less
amounts tihan are to toe paid to resi
dents; and, also, discriminates against
alien non-resident widowers, parents,
brothers and sisters, as compared to
resident relatives of the degrees men
tioned." t ,
■Governor Brumbaugh referred the
letter of Secretary Bryan to Attorney
General Brown, who to-day answered
Secretary Bryan to the effevt that, aft
er careful consideration, "I respectfully
beg leave to differ from your conclu
sions."
After quoting the provisions of the
proposed workmen's compensation tew,
and the treaty between t'he United
States and Italy, Attorney General
Brown savs:
"The proposed workmen 's compensa
tion act is in no sense violative of the
lights secured by this treaty. It pro
vides that citizens of Italy residing
in t'he United States shall be protected
in respect of their rigihts, including
('hat form of protection granted by
■State or national law which establishes
a civil responsibility for injuries or
death caused by 'negligence or fault.'
Tho right to recover compensation un
der the proposed act is not predicated
on 'negligence or fault,' but compensa
tion is provided for regardless of the
cause or circumstances of the injury,
except where the injury is self-inflicted,
hence the act does not come within the
purview of the treaty. And further, ac
ceptantce of the provisions of the act
is not compulsory, and any one who
does not elect to accept them may sue
for fuTl damages in t'he same manner
as heretofore for any injuries sus
tained."
Attorney 'General Brown then dis
cusses the various provisions of the act
and says they do not violate any of the
previsions of the treaty.
