AP ’LICANTS
‘FOR LICENSE
When Olerk of Courts Frank A.
Harah ‘‘took stock’ on Saturday at
midnight, the last hour for filing
liquor license applications, he found
he had received a total of 85 petitions
"7 —174 retail, four brewers, six distillers
and one wholesale. Last year there
were 81 applications, 67 'of which were
granted by the court.
This year there are 16 new appli-
cants for the retail privilege, while
all the other petitions are those of
present licenses. The number of pe-
titions is greater than the actual num
ber of licensed dispensaries, however,
owing to the fact that in some in-
stances more than one person has
filed petitions for the same hotel. In
Somerset borough Harry G. Spitz-
nogle and Nora A. Winters have both
filed petitions for the Hotel Vannear,
there being a dispute as to who shall
conduct the house during the new
license year. In Meyersdale there is
a similar situation, John H. Altmiller
and Arthur O. Lorentz both claiming
to be the representative of the Alt-
‘miller hotel. It is expected that both
these cases will be amicably adjusted
before license court opens by the
withdrawal of some of the petitions.
As will be seen by the appended list
the new applicants hail from Wind-
ber, Cairnbrook, Central Oity, Hols-
@iple, Berlin, Confluence, Garrett,
Joversville and Meyersdale,
be number of signatures on some
of the petitions indicates that a few
of the liquor people are little short of
superstitions when license court is so
near at hand. The law requires a
comparatively few number of signers,
but in some cases the petitions con-
tain hundreds of signatures. ‘his
condition is especially notable among
the new applicants, who apparently
are eager. to impress upon the court
the public necessity for the license
for which they petition. Among the
petitions with unusually large num-
ber of signers are the Windber Brew-
ing Company with 396 signers, W. C.
Moore pompany, 315; Jenner Brew-
ing company, 162; Frank Lowry, 416;
Albert L. Gohn, 203; Andrew Timko,
81; Nellie Clay King, 92; Frank Tarr,
94; John Sharkey, 90: John Metz, 91;
Paul Pachuda, 84; William H. Farns-
worth, 74; Alfred B. Falknor, 46;
Charles A. Trapp, 62, and Russell G.
Benford, 45. The number on th.
other petitions vary from 15 to 38.
License court is scheduled for Feb-
ruary 25th, but will be postponed a
&_ . _ week or ten days later than that date
on account of February criminal court
being in session that week.
The law firm of Scott & Scott leads
LAI'the other attormeys in the number
of applicants it represents, having a
total of 383. The number of petitions
presented ‘by the other attorneys fol-
lows: Charles W. Walker, 19; Fred-
erick W. Biesecker, 17; Herman L.
Baer, 7; John H. Uhl, 3; H. Frank
Yost, 2; Francis J. Kooser, 1; Alex-

REBELS HAVE TAKEN MUZQUIZ
Currency Established Under the Diaz
Regime Will Be Treated As Coun-
terfeit Money Under a Decree
Issued by the Rebels.
Mexico City—The agents of the War
Department have made a few addi-
tional arrests of persons alleged to be
implicated in the plot against the Gov-
ernment, but' none is widely known or
of high standing. The people gener-
ally have received the news of the
discovery and blocking of the conspir-
acy with some reserve, the evidence
submitted by the secret agents not be-
ing credited in some quarters.
The rebels are in possession of var-
ious points between the coast and
Cardenas, and sharp fighting occured
at two points, near Cerritos and a
short distance from Cardenas. !
Chihuahua, Mexico—Currency is-
sued by the Bank of Sonora, the Bank
of Minero and other banks established
under the Diaz regime, will b& treated
as counterfeit money after February
10, under a decree issued by the Rebel
Government. The free and unlimited
coinage of silver will be offered as a
means of providing ample money.
The Rebel Government has much bul-
lion which will be coined to enrich
the treasury by a large American
smelting interest which has entered
into an arrangement for the immediate
opening of a smelter in Chihuahua.
While exorbitant prices are being
asked for food products in Chihuahua,
the Rebels have assumed control of
the beef supply and are selling it at
.8ix cents a pound. The proceeds £0
into the treasury. All dealings in cat-
tle, chiefly of the Terrazas ranches,
are affairs of State, directed by Gen-
. eral Villa.
Washington D. C.—Constitutional-
ist headquarters here announced the
capture from the Federals of Muzquiz,
Coahuila. The prisoners included Col.
Salcon, Andreas Garza Galan and Mig-
uel Carbenas.
Laredo, Texas—Samuel Cantu, Mex-
ican murchant of Lampasas, Mex.,
whose release by Mexican Federal au-
thorities at Neuvo Laredo, was demand-
ed by the United States Government
on representations that he was kid-
napped from the American side of the
International boundary, was turned
over to United States Consul Garrett
at Neuvo Laredo. Cantu immediate-
ly crossed to this city.

FIRE DESTROYS REFORM SCHOOL
130 Inmates, on Honor, Do Not At-
tempt Escape. .
Vergennes, Vt.—Nearly 130 boys,
ranging in ages from seven to 19,
were made homeless by a fire which
destroyed the main building of the
Vergent Industrial School, a reforma-
tory institution of which they were
inmates. Through the boys’ efforts
practically all the contents of the
building were saved. The loss is
about $75,000. The fire is believed
to have been caused by a spark from
an electric wire igniting gasoline.
Bridge Falls, Fireman Killed.
Beaver Falls, Pa.—Caught under a
freight engine, William Kerney, a
fireman of New Galilee, was killed
when the Pittsburgh, Lisbon and
Western Railroad bridge over Lit-
tle Beaver Creek, near Darlington,
collapsed. Three other men on the
engine jumped while dropping to the
creek and swam to shore.
Autos, Kill More People.
New YorK.—Automobiles killed 176
persons in anhattan Borough last
year, an increase of 50 per cent over
1911. Deaths traced 'to causes of
violence were 2,666, a decrease of 66
from the 1912 figures. Of suicides
there were 453. Fifty-one persons
died at fires, while there were 194
homicide cases, of which 25 were ac-
cidental or in self-defense.

Butler, Pa.—So far as the decision
of Postmaster Wahl of Evans City is
concerned, Uncle Sam draws the line
on sending skunks by parcels post.
Hides of these animals, packed in a
box, were mailed at that office. The
postmaster found the odor too strong
and consigned the package to the
backyard, several. feet under ground.
If the sender wants to use the mails
for his package, he will have to ap-
peal to Washington, D. C.

ACCUSE CAPTAIN
‘OF NEGLIGENCE
Nantucket Commander Wi"
Face Federal Inquiry
DIVERS SEARCH FOR BODIES
Investigation of Charges Will Be En
trusted to Board of Inspectors at
Philadelphia—Mr. Redfield Di-
rects Preferring Charges.
Washington, D. C.—Secretary Red
field directed that charges of negli
gence be preferred against Capt,
Osman Berry of the Merchants and
Miners steamship Nantucket, which
collided with and sank the Old Do
minion liner Monroe, with a loss of
41 lives, off the Virginia coast.
Investigation of the charges will
be entrusted to the local board of
inspectors at Philadelphia, with in-
structions that testimony be taken
and a decision reported.
The secretary announced that evi-
dence brought out by the inspector's
preliminary inquiry, held on board the
Nantucket while that vessel was mak-
ing her way into Norfolk with the
Monroe's survivors aboard “tends to
show that there was negligence on
the part of Capt. Berry.” He added,
however, that it would be “quite im-
proper .to pass upon that question at
this time, further than to decide that
there is sufficient evidence to require
that charges be preferred against
Capt. Berry and that the question of
his innocence or guilt be made the
subject of further investigation.”
New York.—Capt. E. E. Johnson of
the Old Dominion liner Monroe, which
sank off the. Virginia coast last week
with a loss of 41 lives, arrived here
and was shown dispatches quoting
Capt. Berry of the Nantucket, which
rammed the ‘Monroe, as saying the
Monroe at the time of the collision
was attempting to pass the Nantucket
starboard to starboard, contrary to
maritime regulations.
“I suppose Capt. Berry's trying to
save his ticket,” said Johnson. “We
were at a standstill when the Nan-
tucket hit us. I think his report that
the Nantucket’s engines were re-
versed must be true, as the Nantucket
backed away immediately after we
were hit.”
Norfolk, Va.—Divers went down in
a choppy sea for bedies in the sunken
Old Dominion ‘liner Monroe. None
had come to the surface and the only
hope seemed to be in finding bodies
pinioned in the wreck in 15 fathoms
of water. A stiff breeze made the
work of the divers difficult. If bodies
are found a special steamer will be
sent out for them,
Many Rescued When Hotel Burns.
New York.—Only the shell of the
four-story building at Forty-third
street and Seventh avenue remained
after a fire which was witnessed by
25,000 persons. The fire spread so
rapidly that escape by stairs or fire
escapes was cut off and more than a
dozen persons, including several wo-
men, were saved by being passed
from fireman to fireman down ladders.

« Spaniards Defeat Moors in Battle.
Tetuan, Morocco.— Hundreds of
Moorish tribesmen fell in +a stubborn-
ly contested battle with a column of
Spanish troops at Beni-Salem, south
of this town. The Spanish forces re-
ported their own losses as four offi-
cers and 22 men killed and four of-
ficers and 116 men wounded.
Submarine Gets To Port Safely.
Galveston, Tex.—The submarine
D-1, which caused uneasiness by fail-
ing to arrive here with the D-2, D-3,
E-1 and E-2, came into the harbor.
Stormy weather caused it to become
separated from the other submarines.
Bonanza King Taken By Death.
San Francisco, Cal—Thomas Doo-
lan, aged 84 years, one of the old-
time bonanza kings and a picturesque
figure of the days of '49 died here.
Women Wear Blue and Purple Hair.
London, Eng.—Stage heroines have
taken to green wigs and leading wo-
men, not to be outdone, have adopted
hair shades—ranging from pale blue
to deep purple.

DIAZ MAN SHOT BY GEN. VILLA
Messenger Offering Bribe to Rebel
Leader to Desert Cause Executed.
Juarez, Mex.—Francisco I. Guzman,
who figured prominently in the revolt
against President Madero in Mexico
City a year ago, was executed in the
front yard of a house occupied by
Gen. Francisco Villa here. Guzman
had just come from Havana, where,
it’ was charged, he had been given a
secret mission by Felix Diaz to in-
duce Gen. Villa to renounce Gen. Car-
ranza and throw his strength to Diaz.
Another Town Votes “Dry.”
East Liverpool, O.—Hanoverton vil-
