Darby. Putrlotic school children,
girls and boys alike, In Darby, made
heroic efforts to Rave the old Blumston
Oak, a 400-year-old tree under which
Washington rested, for the ancient
oak had beon maliciously set on fire
by aeveral boys. Rushing to Darby
creek, SO feet distant, the pupils cap
rled water In their hats, tin cans and
other vessels, and one of them ran
over to the fire house of the Darby
Fire Company No. 1, and gave the
alarm. The firemen extinguished the
blase, but not until the tree was bad
ly damaged. Washington and Lafay
ette rested under the far-spreading
branches of the old tree on a hot
Sunday In August, 1777, while the
former was on his way to meet the
British at Chadd's Ford, where he was
dofeated and Lafayette wounded. His

avenue and the pair fought back and
forth across the street for some time,
while a large crowd gathered before
the policeman subdued Farley with th
"blacklock" of the arm across the
back, a bit of jiu-jitsu.
Judge on Evils of Drink.
Wayne. Judge Isaac Johnson, of
Delaware county, denounced the liquor
t radio In an address hero before the
Saturday Club, a woman's organiza
tion. He made an eloquent appeal
for greater participation by women In
Juvenile Court and Its associated
preventive work. "In my experience,"
he said, "I have found that much
crime comes from a certain stratum
not a crlmlnnl class as such but
people whoso homes suffer the great
evils of poverty and Ignorance, and,
I might add, Intemperance. I received
a letter from a woman recently, and
she blamed me for placing this burl
den so positively on tho women, nnd
then, on my part, granting licenses.
I do not find fault with her point of
view; but nevertheless I say that thu
task Is one for the women."

uplrit of optimism In the view taken
of present nnd future Industrial cou
tiltlons by II. II. McCIintlc, president
of the McCllntlc-Marshall Construc
tion Company, which has largo plants
here and at Pittsburgh. "I do not
think that the tariff will have a
permanent depressing effect In our
eteel business," Mr. McCUutlc declar
ed. "Of course, there may be soma
billots or that grade of steel sold hero
by foreign makers, but I do not look
for any heavy Inroads Last year
our company had a larger output than
any year In Its history, with one ex
ception. December wns the best
similar month we ever experienced."

fered. Egg Laid In Court.
Whether an egg laid In the court
belongs to the defendant, accused of
stealing the chicken, or to the ac
cuser, both of whom claim ownership
of the fowl, was settled by Justice of
the Peace, John G. Richards, of North
Braddock. Delia Garrlty, of North

stolen two chickens. The Information

of a constuble, pending a settlement
of the case.
Flood Warning Sent Out.
No reasons exist for entertaining
fears of a serious flood along any of
the streams In the State, but a warn
ing was Issued to tho Susquehanna
River basin, nevertheless, by the
United Slates Weather Bureau. It Is
not such a bulletin as to arouse alarm.
Colder weather Is forecast, which will
have a tendency to check the run-off
water from the thaw. "It would be
the prudent course for those having
property along the stream subject to
Injury from high water and Ice to
safeguard It," reads tho warning from
the local weather bureau, which lllus
trntes how ticklish the situation Is
and depends entirely on warm rains
holding off at a season when warm
rains aro to be expected.

Harrlsburg Railways Company has
boen put In operation. The opening

cause of tho frozen condition of the

station has been placed.

Austin, Tex. Reports of new dls
orders along the Mexican border, In
eluding the attempted kidnapping of an
American citizens by five Mexicans,
I caused Governor O. B. Colquitt to order
the ranger force recruited with "men
who caa shoot,"
"I have Instructed Captain HugheB
to look for more men suited for the
ranger service. My instructlo'ns to
him are to get men who can shoot and
will shoot when necessary," said Gov
ernor Colquitt.
Captain Hughes commands the
ranger force, which has headquarters
at RaymondvIIle, Cameron county, in
the extreme southeastern section of
the State. Brownsville, opposite Mata
mores, Mexico, is the county seat
Cameron county citizens asked the
Governor for protection. Several fili
bustering expeditions have been re
ported this week operating along that
part of the Texas border.
Two telegrams formed the basis of
the Governor's action in ordering the
Ranger force increased. The first re
ported the kidnapping of an Ameri
can, Charles Ballard, by Ave Mexicans,
near Carrizo Springs. Tho second was
the petition from Cameron county citi
zens. Ballard was tied by the Mexicans
and hustled to the border, according to
the report made to the Governor, but
while the party was crossing the Rio
Grande, ho cut the rope which held
him and escaped by diving. Dullard's
captors shot at him without effect sev
eral times and then made good their
escape. Sheriff Gardner, of Dlmmltt
county, went in pursuit with a posse,
and the rangers and United States
Army border patrol also began a search
for the men, but they were thought to
have escaped into Mexico.
The Cameron county petition de
clared "murder and robbery are being
committed freely," and appealed for
Ranger protection. The killing of two
men, in both instances wealthy Mexi
cans, was cited.
The kidnapping was reported by W.
T. Kardner, sheriff of Dimmit county,
of which Cariizo Springs is the county
seat. The town is about 35 miles from
the border.

THE BULGARIAN
Eleonora's Visitto United States
Set for May.
WILL HAVE A LARGE PARTY
She Will Be the First Reigning
Sovereign Ever To Come To This
Country Likely To Embark
On the Imperator.
Sofia. It has been definitely decided
that Queen Eleonora of Bulgaria, ac
companied by an extensive suite, will
visit the United States next May. The
trip will probably be begun about the
middle of May and it will last six or
eight weeks. Details of the longth of
the stay of the Queen and her en
tourage in America and the Itinerary
of the trip are now being worked out
During her stay in the United States
the Queen hopes to deliver a series of
lectures In the principal cities with the
object of placing before the American
public the real position of Bulgaria re
garding the late war. She will also
make an appeal for help in behalf of
the thousands of refugees now starr
ing in Bulgaria. A representative of
the Queen will leave for New York
within the next few days to arrange
details.
The visit is the result of the deep in
terest In the United States which King
Ferdinand and Queen Eleonora have
long held and which has been strength
ened by the close association of the
King and Queen with the American
surgeons who were in charge of the
Bulgarian hospitals during the recent
war.
It was at first reported that King
Ferdinand himself proposed to visit
the United States in 1915, but the
Queen's Intense desire to make the
trip, coupled with the fact that her
visit will relieve the United States of
the diplomatic embarrassments of a
state visit' from an actual reigning
monarch, resulted in ber wish being
grunted.
It is probable that Queen Eleonora
111 proceed from Sofia to Hamburg as
a German princess. There Bhe will
embark, If her arrangements will fit in,
on the steamship Imperator. The suite
of Queen Eleonora will Include, In ad
dition to some diplomatists, aides-de-camp
from the smartest guard regi
ments and ladies In waiting, who will
wear their picturesque native cos
tumes. Queen Eleonora will be the first
reigning sovereign of Europe to visit
the United States.

SUFFRAGE
L05E5 IN SENATE
But Test Vote Shows a Majority
of One.
TWO-THIRDS VOTE REQUIRED
Only Senator Martine Declares Op
position To Movement On
Principle Negro Issue
Comes Up.
Washington, D. C. Woman suffrage
advocates lost their fight In the United
States Senate for a resolution pro
posing an amendment to the Federal
Constitution giving women the ballot.
The vote was 35 for the measure to
34 against it, a two-thirds affirmative
vote being required for passage, and
when it was all over suffragist leaders
Jubilantly po!n,d to .the majority of
one as conclusive proof that their
cause bad scored a triumph in defeat,
and was immeasurably stronger than
its opponents bad ever been willing to
concede.
Following weeks of debate on (he
floor of the Senate during which many
leaders in the suffrage movement
pleaded for postponement of the final
vote, marked the climax of a spirited
campaign launched here tbe day be
fore the Inauguration of President Wil
son.
Immediately after the vote Senator
Shafroth, of Colorado, sought to intro
duce a new resolution for a constitu
tional amendment requiring each
State to vote on granting suffrage to
women upon petition from 5 per cent,
of its voters.
South In Opposition.
Tbe resolution defeated was the
first introduced in the present Con
gress. It was presented by Senator
Chamberlain, of Oregon, and the Wom
an Suffrage Committee later authorized
Senator Ashurst to report it favorably.
Though otherwise the vote virtually
was nonpartisan, the Southern Sen
ators, all Democrats, lined up almost
solidly against the amendment They
contended it would complicate the
negro question in the States.
Senator Vardaman led a movement
among friends of woman suffrage in
the South to repeal the Fifteenth
Amendment to the Constitution, by
which the States are prohibited from
denying the right to negroes to vote.
With the negro question removed, he
said he favored the granting of suf
frage to women. His proposal was de
feated by 48 to 19, and a proposition by
Senator Williams to give the ballot
to white women only was defeated by
41 to 21.
