BIG SURPRISE 10
j DR. S, 8. DIXON
Or. P. C. Nowbaker, president o'
: tliu lioaril of health, and Arthur C.
I Aniosbury, chief burgess, delegated by
I tho borough of Danville ro visit Har
risburg for tin: purpose of acquainting
| Dr. Dixon with the unsanitary concli-
I tioild hero due to river ])ollution by
J the hospital for tho insane, appeared
J before council Friday eve,presenting a
jeh >r and comprehensive report. The
j committee tools with it for Dr. Dixon's j
; perusal leports from the three different !
j laboratories recently obtained, all of j
i which : how the effluent discharged
from the m wa /e disposal plant at the
: hospital to be full of micro-organisms
I of a dangerous typo.
Dr. Nowbaker reported that the com
mitteo met Dr. Dixon and was
very cordially recieved. The commis
sioner of health looked over the an
alyses of effluent discharged from the
| sewage disposal plant, recently made
at tlie instance of the borough, and
unhesitatingly expressed himself as
giv ifiy surprised at the bad showing,
especially as related to the sample an
alyzed at the laboratory of the Univ- i
erslty of Pennsylvania, by the author- '
ized analyst of the Stale department i
of health.
Dr. Dixon slated that lie had always
been in favor of discharging the hos
pital waste below the intake of the
borough water supply in the river. He J,
claimed that the effluent will be much I,
purer after the system is completed > ]
and tho effluent is treated with a solu- |
tion of chlorinated lime. Neverthe
less, without regard to its purity or 1 ,
impurity he would recommend the (lis- ~
charge of the effluent into the river ,
below the intake of our water supply. .
The only practical method of ac- ,
complishing this object is to carry the (
effluent through a sewer constructed |
in the bed of the canal. Dr. Dixon in- |
dioated his intention of at once taking ,
the matter up.oalling the attention of
the hospital authorities to existing ■
conditions. To bring the effluent down j
the old canal will require the harmon
ious co-operation of the D. L. & W.

with the trustees of the hospital for

roml company with a view of formul- ,
ating some plan whereby the effluent
may be diverted from the river above |
the intake to our water works.

ONE YEAR ill
COUNT! JAIL
! Isaiah Gresh, who was found guilty
of committing an assault on Mrs.
j Charles Murray, of Washingtonville,
1 at the regular term of court, Monday, 1
' was sentenced to one year's imprison- j
| mwit in the county jail last Saturday.
Gresh's case was disposed of for the
1 first thing in the morning. In passing
sentence Judge Evans told him that
were ho disposed to give him the full
j penalty he could impose a sentence of
! live years in tho penitentiary. The
| court, however, was disposed to be
lenient. In answer to a question Gresh
said he was 24 years of age. He
acknowldged that he was in tie habit
of drinking hard cider and whisky.
Ho had never been convicted of any
offense before.
Judge Evans informed Gresli that
from the testimony it appeared plain
that the cause of his undoing was hard
eider and whiskey. By pleading drunk
enness he was unable to put up any
defi use when charged with assault,but
simply affirmed that he had no knowl
edge of what occurred. Tho judge
warned him against further indulgence
in liquor and assured liiui that if he
ever appeared before this court again
he would get the maximum penalty.
The sentence of tho court was that
Gresh pay the costs of prosecution,the
fine of two hundred dollars to the 1
Commonwealth for the use of Montour '
county and to undergo aii imprison
ment in the jail of Montour county •
for one year.
A case involving non-support and '
surety of the peace was heard before 1
the court. The defendant in the case '
was John Beyers of Mahoning town- 1
ship. The charge was brought bv bis !
wife, whose testimony was supported '
by tho four children of the family. '
Beyer took tho stand 111 his own be
half. The testimony was divergent 112
and very sensational. 1
Mrs. Beyers testified that during a '
married life of 32 years her husband
had never bought her a "good dress;"
also that he was in the habit of com- j
ing home intoxicated Saturday nights j 1
"*'■! +I.A fim.llt, fl.n, La liuil j j
laid violent bands upon her ami - ' J
threatened to kill her. A sou and two i
daughters are employed and their lab-
or, the witness said,supports the fami
iy.
During cross-examination, which 1
was conducted by Hon. 11. M. Hinek- t
ley, counsel for the defendant the faet
wtis brought out that the husband was ,
locked out of tho house several night-, j ,j
in succession. This, the witness avi r
red. was due to the faet that she was
afraid of him. 11l wa- also shown t : at
the defendant purchased the coal ;.:nl
flour for the ' imily and that he 111; e
other purchases.
Mrs. Beyers was followed guceessive
ly by hi r two daughters, Margaret an I
Emma Beyers,and two sons, John and '
Roy Beyers, all of whom sided with
their mother offering testimony in cor
robation of In rs.
Mr. Beyers when placed on the stand
made a general denial of the charges,
lie produced a passbook used between
the family and William C. Heller, the ;
East Danville grocer, to show just
what he has been doing for the fami
ly. the book shows that j
the defendant got in arrears to Mr.
Heller to the amount of SBB. This the
defendant alleged was due to being
out of employment. In order to get !
square with the grocer, 110 said, he
notified the family to stop dealing 011 1
the book and to henceforth pay cash !
for what they purchased of Mr. Hel
ler. The defendant than addressed
himself to the task of liquidating the j
1 store bill. It was while he was devot
ing his earnings to this object, he al
-1 leged, that non-support was charged.
William C. Hi Her, the grocer, was j
called to the stand. He identified the
1 pass bo.tk and said that the defendant
1 had paid off the arrearage.
Mrs. Ileinibach, a ueighboor, was the |
' last witness called. She testified that
Mrs. Beyers told her that her reason
for bringing action against her bus- ;
baud was"to get him off the place."
The court reserved decision.
I Harry Doibert, who was arrested on
a charge of desertion and non-support ;
| and committed to jail Thursday, was J
arraigned before court Saturday morn- ,
! ing. The defendant made a statement
j to the court relating to his tiials and 1
: alleged neglect.
i Judge Evans announced that the ease j
I would bo continued until the June j
I term of court, the defendant to be held
in his own recognizance in the sum of
i two hundred dollars.

In a strenuous and stormy session of
i tho in tnagers of the Susquehanna !
i league at the Hotel Morton, Berwick, '
j Sunday afternoon, it was decided to ,
J give a two-games-a-week schedule a j
try out for a month. This compromise
was accomplished by the advocates of
a 1 trger schedule only after a conces
sion had been made to its opponents in
tho way of a larger share of the gate
receij ts.
The contending factions were divid- i
oil into the managers from tho smaller j
towns on the one side and tho rcpro- !
seuiatives of tho larger towns on the
other. The smaller towns, which in- j
eluded Shiekshinny. Neseopeck and j
Benton were firm in their stand for ;
ono game a week and big slices of the '
gate receipts at all games. Danville,
Bloomsburg, Nanticokc : ml Berwick
wire for two games a week. Allien
was for what the rest wanted. With j
lines drawn up in that way the battle
was fought out in lengthy and heated
discussions,during which moti' lis were
made and defeated, then made again, ;
and carried only to bo recinded. j i
The question of two games a week i
was brought up by tho schedule com- i
mittee which met last Sunday. With i
tho season closing earlier than last •
year tho two games a week would make ]
a total of 42 games for each team, in- t
stead of 28. i
Curiously the resolution that was i
immediately introduced that a 42 game ;
schedule bo adopted was carried with- t
our a dissenting voice, anil a schedule
covering the provision was presented t
by Job,chairman of the sehudule com- t
mittee. c
Again a motion to refer tho sched- 1
ule presented by Job back to the sched- ;
ulo committee, that body to meet on \
Thursday, March 31st and consider it «
and then report to a meeting of tho , s
managers on Sunday, April 3rd, was I
also carried unanimously.
Then was when the small town man- |
agers began to get cold feet. Splain,
112 Neseopeck and Colley.of Shiekshin
ny, began to contend that their towns s
could not stand two games a week. 1
iuimi, ... .. -j
whatever the majority wanted. Ben
ton was not represented, lint Manager
Long over the phone said be was un- '
favorable to two games a week.
After more heated discussion,Splain,
of Neseopeck, seconded by Colley, of •
Shiekshinny, moved that the 42-game
motion be recinded. Splain, Colley, i *
Turner and President McCollum for
Long vot 1 fur the motion; Hoffman.
Sharpies-. Job and Lauhach voted
■ ' t
against.
His in .tion to o\. ithrow the two
game-a-week plan failing Colley stat-
ed that tho big towns could esti.' lish '
a bigg' r schedule but they could not
compel the smaller towns to play the '
gam s. He said Shiekshinny would '
drop out of the league. Splain >■ id the '
same.
Hoffman siiil th i • was no r< a son
why the smaller town could not stand
tho larger schedule, for with the per
centage plan in effect the large |
would be helping to pay the expenses
to the smaller towns.
Tho per centage, said Colley and ;
Splain, was not large enough-50 per
cent, for each team should be the div
ision, they contended. This the larg- |
er towns objected to. stating that each j
should have the advantages of its own ;
patronage.
At this point President McCollum |
attempted to pour oil on the troubled ,
waters by suggesting that the league j
try a two-games a-week schedule for a
month, hut Splain and Colley were
again ready with an objection,stating j
I that they could not see tho proposition j
1 with the per centage plan in its pro- j
| sent shape—'6s for the home team and 1
:i5 for the visitors.
Colley then moved'lhat the division j
! be 60 and 40 for Saturday games and i
50 and 50 for other games. Splain, '
Colley and Turner were the trio favor- I
ing this deal and it was lost.
More discussion, and then Job and ;
Sharpless dug up the scheme that was |
ailopted. The motion was to the effect
that the two-games-a-week schedule
be given one month's trial; that the
I per ceutago for games other than on
Sat unlays and holidays be 50 and 50
I and no guarantee, and for games on
i Saturdays anil holidays the per cent
i age to be 65 per centage for the homo
team and 85 per cent for the visiting
! team, with a 830 guarantee. For this
' motion till voted except Colley.
It was also decided that while games
other than Saturday will be scheduled
for Friday, they can be changed upon
I agreement of the two interested man
agers.
Previous to the above the following
routine business was transacted:
Moore and Sliarpless.of Bloomsburg,
were present and reported that Sub-
I scriptious were coming and inilica
; t ions were for a strong team in Blooms
: ' burg the coming season. On motion
I I Bloomsburg was given a seat in the
' i board of managers.
. Laubach, of Berwick, was received
1 as a member of the board.
Tho last of tho old overhead wagon
i bridges that for years have been land
marks dotting the channel of tho old
i Pennsylvania canal between Rupert
j and Northumberland was obliterated
! yesterday. Since tho abandoned canal
fell into the bands of tho D. L. & W.
railroad company, the bridges which j
extended from tho north side of the
track to the opposite side of tho canal
| and formerly afforded the only means
i for the farmer to cross the waterway,-
l.ave boon torn down one by ono until '
j the only one remaining was that on j
; tho farm of Jacob Shultz, about three :
I miles above Danville,
j Yesterday forenoon the huge steam
; erauo used for such work, tho property (
of the railroad company, was brought ,
down from Scrauton and about ten
thirty the work began, with the as
sistance of the local yard engine. In a '
few minutes hooks hail been adjusted,
the huge derrick arm lifted, the ropes |
trrew taut, strained and quivered and
then with a final protesting groau and
a crash the wooden structuie was lift
ed bodily from its foundations, hurled
to tho traek and the old bridge having ,
outlived its usefulness, was a thing of
the past. Not yet satisfied with its
work of destruction,the merciless der
rick arm again poised over its victim, j
the hooks and ropes reached down and
took hold anil tho structure was lifted 1
into tho air, carried clear of the track ;
and dropped, a ma~s of wreckage on
tho adjoining field.
The foundations were then attacked
and with tho assistance of the switch |
engine were soon razed. The > ntire !
operation occupied but little over an !
hour.
Whete the bridge has been the canal
will Is! filled up, a grade crossing in- :
stalled over the tracks and travel will 1
goon as before.

i It was brought to the attention of
• the managers that an official award of
i last season's pennant had never been
| made. On motion of Job, seconded by ,
i Laubach, the pennant was officially
j awarded to Danville by unanimous
i vote.
i On motion of Hoffman, seconded by
Colley, tho Morning Press, of Blooms
burg, was given a vote of thanks for
the pennant.
President McCollum appointed the
following umpires: Yerrick, of Dan
ville; Hagemyer.of Bloomsburg; Fish
er, of Nanticoke, and Sweeney, of
Alden. Alternates, Joseph Wilson, of

Ir was decided that the teams should
all use strip tickets, each having a
different color.
It was also the sense of tho meeting
that the visiting team should have
charge of the gate, and should have a
; man on the gate at least an hour and
a half before the game is called,or ac
cept tho count of the home team.
On motion of Splain the Eoning ball
. was adopted for use in the Susque
. banna league for the comiug season,
i On motion of Colley, seconded by

ed SSO in payment for services to date.

The arrest of Officer John Grier j
; Voris, growing out of Peter Cam tits'
• difficulties, which caused such a stir '
j about town during a couple of days,is '
jno longer an absorbing topic. The
i hearing took place Monday after- '
j noon, but the justice concluded that !
1 he had no jurisdiction and dismissed
j the caso.
, It will be recalled that about Now
j Year's Peter Camets, better known as !
the "Greek," on tho P. & R. passeng
er train between Mooresburg and Mil
ton gave up a sum of money to Offlet i
| John Grier Voris, which the latter
' with the alleged consent of Peter
Caioots, duly handed over to J. H.
Colo and other persons to whom the
"Greek" was indebted.
But little was thought of the mat
ter until last Friday, when Peter
Camets lodged information before
Justice of the Peace Dalton in this
city, alleging in substance that "on
January, 1, 1010, in Montour county,
John G. Voris, with force of arms,
itc., did assault, and take him into
custody and then and there with strong
hand and against his will did take
from his person the sum of $275 and
then and there imprison him and de
tain him for a long time, to wit: for
tho space of two hours, and that while
so imprisoned the said John Grier ,
Voris by reason of threats did intimid
ate and compel and force him to eon
sent to his retention of the said sum ,
for his own use and of others and that
he still retains the same."
The affiant also alleged that, al- ,
though Officer Voris claimed to make ,
the arrest by virtue of a warrant com- ]
mantling that the affiant be taken be- ,
fore :i certain justice of the peace, yet \,
said affiant was permitted togo free i
without a hearing.
The time for the hearing was set for (
2 o'clock Monday afternoon. Precise
ly on the hour Peter Camets and his \
attorney, Major O. P. Gearhart, ar- I
rived. Officer John Grier Voris, along
with his attorney, Ralph Kisner, was : (
also on hand.
The information was read, when ,
iKtvy.- | ,
Peter Camets testified. He said ho .
gor i.n the train tit Mooresburg and
that after tho conductor had taken up ,
the tickets Officer Voris appeared and
■ lid "Get up, I have a warrant for (
your arrest." The officer took htm in
to the baggage car and searched him,
t iking riis from his pocket. Witness (
-aid he explaiue ! that ho was going to
Milton to get more money, which lie
win. Ito distribute among hi* li'edi:- ,
or-s The officer, the wiia '•
him h ■ would put h ; ia i ' ,
did not pay over t•> r mey ; ' t : : |
he begged to be 111 it"! V

admitted that I to!,! t o. ■ ■
It• p tho money also tint he l" :
rreeipt for it, hut ! o siid 1 • reii e
the ollicei that it was his ith t reeU
money.
While the proceedings began some
wh. ro between Mooresburg and Mil- ;
ton it appears that they did not end
until after the officer and Peter Camets
had arrived in Milton and that the
money changed hands in the baggage
room of the station with the baggage
master as a witness. Officer Voris al
leges that Camets consented that lie
| should tako tlio money and that the
receipt shows that it was to be appli- j
j ed in paying off certain aecouuts as
far as it would go, and that the man's
wishes in this respect were fully car
ried out. Officer Voris says that he did
not place the Greek under arrest, al- i
though he told him that there was a
| warrant out for him.
Major Gearliait brought with him a
; volume of law,numerous extracts from
j which he read during the hearing.
Tho major declared the principal point
involved was "false arrest." Ho laid
it down as a principle that any re
straint of ti person except by due pro-
I cess of law amounts to false imprison
! nient. Major Gearhart based the charge
j of false imprisonment on the circum
-1 stance that the officer had permitted
the prisoner togo free without taking
| lam before a magistrate, who is the
i only officer empowered to decide
whether or not tho person arrested
shall bo released.
At this point Justice Dalton brought
j proceedings to a close by announcing
that ho could not see that the case
came in under his jurisdiction, as ae
| cording to the affiant's own statement
• the money was delivered over to the
j officer in Milton, Northumberland
j county, and that there was no evid
ence to show that any part of tho pro
. ' ceediugs took place in Montour coun
i ty, as set forth in the information. He
[ accordingly discharged tho defendant.

ESTABLISHED IN 1855
SEW LOCAL
' i .T. M. Houston, secietary ami treas
j rirer of the White Cross Milk com
panv, was in this city Tuesday in the
: interest of a local enterprise, with
| which farmers and others are invited
Ito become identified. The proposition
i is one that relates to pure and clean
: milk—the "Campchll process of con
| centrution," , which makes it possible
to ship milk hundreds of milts at only
a small traction of the cost of mi'ls
that is untreated by this process.
The advantages relating to shipping
are such that the enterprise should de
velop dairying in this and other sec
tions in the interior of the State where
formerly, owing to their remoteness
from tho latge cities, only sufficient
milk was produced to supply the local
demand. Indirectly, it is claimed, the
result will lie to increase the produc
tiveness ot' farms', increasing the value
, of land far above its prc.-( lit worth.
By the Campbell process the milk is
hronght in by the farmers as soon as
possible after it leaves the cows and
is first run through a separator. The
skim milk is then run into a large
tauk lined with pure tin, where it is
kept at a temperature of 140 degrees
tor from two to three hours. Ail this
time pure filtered air is blown through
tho milk in great volumes, keeping it
continually bubbling, and purifying it
with oxygen. Then this purified milk
is mixed in proper proportions with the
cream, which in the. process of separa
tion went through a similar process.
As a necessary result of this treat
ment, not, only are the germs, stablo
dirt and the animal flavor eliminated,
, but rl)o larger part of the original
, animal water (constituting 87 per
j cent.) is evaporated.
9 By reason of the evaporation of three
parts of the animal water there is a
; constant saving in the shipping weight.
Four car loads of ordinary milk are
reduced to one car load of White Cross
Milk. In delivery, one wagon will
! carry four times as much and on ac
count of the keeping qualities of the
White Cross Milk owing to concentra
tion each route, nerd lie served lint
. will keep a week or more in an ordin
ary ice chest.
A!! the purchaser lias to do is to add
the missing water, when tl.e milk is
just ilie same as it was when it came
from the cow—only absolutely clean
and pure and free from disease perms.
After the addition of water .White
Cross Milk will our and rai-> cream
just as fresh untreated milk does, prov

Mr. Quick accompanied Mr. Hons
! ton to Danville Tuesday. They fully
explained thg. enterprise and will re
turn to this county inafew day- when
they expect to meet a number of farm
ers and others who may bo interested
in the proposition. Mr. Houston ex
j plained that both the steam and trol
i ley roads will be employed in - lip
ping milk from tho farms to tho towns
where the milk is to be treated and
j from where it will bo shipp ! to dist
' 1 ant points.
The Bloomsbnrg plant, lie -aid, will
' absorb the supply l'rom the Fishing
' creek section. In Montour county and
the locality on the south side ho sees
a wale and fertile field for the produc
' ' tiou of White Cross Milk.
i i A SUICIDE

The unfortunate man was residing
