word. This is not quite as good as
the one ' last week.
CANDIDATES SHOULD WORK
AS THEY HAVE NEVER WORKED
BEFORE.
From this schedule it is hardly
necessary for us to point out the
advantages of securing every possi
ble subscription this week.
Just think of the offer which
makes it possiblo for you to get
5,000 votes on a yearly subscription
where formerly 2,500 votes were
given. A two-year subscription will
count 14,000 votes instead of 7,000,
while a six months' subscription
will count for 2,500 votes Instead
of 1,250.
Remember, "Double Votes" will
not be given after Saturday night,
January 7, at 9 p. m.
Never again will readers of THE

will be issued this week on a yearly

ST. JOSEPH (MO.) GIRL OF HI
HAS A SPY FOR A LOVKH '
SHE SENDS WARNING TO CON-i
GRESS AYS THE UNITED !
STATES SHOULD BUY A FEW
MOKK BATTLESHIPS.
Washington. Jan. -1. An unsigned
letter postmarked St. Joseph, Mo.,
written in pencil and purporting to bo
a warning of the activity of Japanese
spies in the United States, has been
received in the official congressional
mail.
The letter In part says:
A solemn warning to the congress of
the United States:
I am a young woman twenty-one years
old. I 'am In love with a Japanese of
ficer of high rank. I have been In love
with him for two years, but 1 have only
lust found out his mission In this country.
While reading a newspaper the other day
he enmo across something about the talk
that is now going In the houso of ivpi-"-Bcntatlves,
and he said to me, "You have
a line lot of fools In Washington."
I asked him why he said that, and he
told me that "they arc as Ignorant of
what we are preparing to do as"
Then he caught himself, realizing that
he was about to tell his secret, and dis
continued the conveisatlon. While he was
away I searched his suit case and found
a secret pocket. In It were diagrams of
various parts of the Pacific coast. The
weak points were marked by means of
arrows. I kept out a very small diagram
and have It still. It was of some part or
the coast of Washington state. He does
not know that I have It, but 1 am expect
ing him to miss it at any time and ask
mo for it.
I am frightened to death. He often says
to me, "We are a wise people," meaning
the Japanese. He hopes that you will
not pass some battleship bill. ,
Please accept this from a patriotic wo
man. I am afraid to tell my name, We
will leave In the morning for Kansas
City, Mo.
God help you!
Most of the members of the house
who were at the capital read it and
sarcastically suggested that the jin
goes, certainly were getting active.
All of them seemed to think that If
nny Japanese ollicers of high rank, dis
guised or otherwise, have been hang
ing nround St. Joseph and Kansas
City, with a young American woman,
it should be a simple matter to deter
mine the fact. - :
The administration is not alnrmed at
the reports of the activity of Japanese
spies in obtaining military Information
in the Philippines.
According to men familiar with tilt
workings' of the government, there is
practlcnlly no nation which supports
a military organization for Its own de
fense which has not a bureau of In
formation, the business of which Is
to get military secrets of other coun
tries. This sort of work is going on
all the time, no matter how remote
the contingency of war may appear,
and the catching of a spy or two now
and then, the authorities say, does not
mean that the nation in whose service
the spy is enlisted Is contemplating
hostilities.

TENEIl WINS INDICTMENT.
Father of Editor Removed From
Grand Jury Finding BUI.
At the January criminal sessions
at Allentown Tuesday the Lehigh
county grand Jury found a true bill
against Frederick W. Sell, editor of
the Slatington Star, accused by
Governor-elect John K. Tener of
criminal libel for calling him "a
crook" in his paper.
It happened that Martin Sell, the
father of the defendant, was select
ed as a grand juror, after the charge
had been brought by Tenor. At the
opening of the court Judgo Trexler
remarked It would bo proper for tho
senior Sell to request to bo excused,
but tho request was not forthcom
ing. The Judgo then announced that
Sell would, under the law, bo com
pelled to retire.
Judge Trexler then continued the
case until tho April term.

SENDS FAREWELL MESSAGE TO
LEGISLATURE U E F It A INS
FROM MAKING MANY RECOM
MENDATION'S. Harrlsburg, Pa., Jan. 4. The fare
well message of Governor Edwin S.
Stuart was read to tho legislature
lato yesterday afternoon. He re
frained from making many recom
mendations, leaving them for his suc
cessor. The message Bhowed that tho rev
enues for 1910 were $28,946,424.43
and the expenditures $27,G57,399.88.
About appropriations tlio governor
Bald: '
"The time has long since passed
when doubt existed as to whether
tho revenues of the state would pro
vide more than sufficient funds to
meet the ordinary expenses of gov
ernment and interest in the public
dbbt. The practice, therefore, of
making appropriations for a designat
ed purpose 'out of any money in the
treasury not otherwise appropriated,'
GOVERNOR EDWIN S. STUART.
without otherwise specifically limit
ing and defining the exact amount
that may be lawfully paid out of the
treasury under such appropriations
is unjustifiable and unsound as a
business policy."
He compliments the department of
health for Its splendid work and
commends tho light it is making
against disease. He deals extensive
ly with the question of education and
tho care of the feeble minded, insane
and indigent residents of the state.
Continuing the governor says:
-Natural Resources.
Our natural resources should be
regulated and controlled so as to
avoid waste, extravagance, and mono
poly. Tho preservation of our forests, In
order that a permanent timber sup
ply may be had, and that the water
supply of rivers and streams may be
maintained and regulated, is Indis
pensable to our welfare.
Tho effect of denuding mountain
ranges of timber Is to subject them
to torrential action, whereby the soil
is washed away, tho surface render
ed barren, the future growth of for
est trees prevented, and disastrous
floods caused at certain seasons in
tho lower courses of tho streams,
with great destruction of property in
cities and towns and damage to
farming lands in the river bottoms,
while at other seasons the streams
flow Is almost suspended. The
shrinkage In tho volume of the flow
of rivers and the drying up of
streams through deforestation is
everywhere noted. It is therefore
sound business and public policy to
make reasonable appropriation for
reforestation.
In Pennsylvania tho reserve areas
aro being regularly Increased. Dur
ing the past four years 232,435
acres have been acquired, thus giv
ing the state a total forest reserve of
933,582 acres.
It Is Important that these forest
reserves established by tho state
should bo protected by adequate
roads, trails, and fire lanesi In order
to make the tracts readily accessible
and to curtail the danger from for
est fires. The conflagrations In tho
forests of tho West were caused, no
doubt, not so much by lack of appro
priations for fighting fire as by lack
of roads to make the remote portions
accessible. The Department of For
estry has built a total of 1.G48 miles
of roads, trails and flro lanes.
Agriculture.
. One of tho chief industries of the
Commonwealth Is the pursuit of ag
riculture. The soil produces, to a
great extent, tho wealth of a state
and determines Its prosperity. The
purpose of tho organization and
maintenance of the Department of
Agriculture is to ascertain tho best
and most profitable methods of cul
tivating the soil, and to diffuse that
information among the people. This
department should prove of direct
benefit to every fnrmor In tho State
who takeB advantage of the Infor
mation which It carefully prepares
and freely distributes.
Pennsylvania has little reason to
complain concerning tho outcome of
her crops, and has every encourage
ment to persevero In the adoption of
approved methods of agriculture,
bringing to beer, in the advance
ment of tlr- various lines of farm

TWO LONDON DESPERADOES RE
SIST SIEGE TEX HOURS FIN
ALLY BURN THEIR FORT MEN
SET FIRE TO HOUSE AND COM
MIT SUICIDE.
London, Jan. 4. Lying in the mor
tuary of the London hospital In the
oast end, only a couple of hundred
yards from the scene of their death,
nro the charred bodies of two men
who for more than ten hours held nl
bay a hundred picked guardsmen and
1,500 Loudon police ami then perished
uuenptured.
Thousands of persons watched the
amazing spectacle to Its dramatic
close.
After the night when five unarmed
policemen tackled a band N"frfMerii
does who escaped after killing Ihrec
of their assailants, three arrests were
mnde of men who the police were con
fident were members of the murdering
gang. Two others and a woman re
innlncd. The police believed they had tracked
these down In a four story tenement
house in Stepney. The other tenants of
the suspected dwelling and the adjoin
ing houses were quietly withdrawn.
The woman accomplice of the suspect
ed men was arrested by a ruse, the po
lice getting one of tho inmates of the
house to call her downstairs on the
pretext of helping with an invalid rel
ative. Armed detectives took posses
ion of tho adjoining houses. wiIIe
armed police surrounded the house.
Every loophole of escape to the neigh
boring streets was cut off. Then in the
dark of early morning, when it was
hoped their prey would be nsleep, a
party of armed police approached the
house.
The suspected men were alert, and a
fusillade of bullets poured through a
window. The detectives retreated and
more police were summoned.
The besieged kept up a desultory
firing, which tho police returned inef
fectively until 7 o'clock. Then Ser
geant Leoson headed an nttempt to
rush the houso from the back. He fell
at once, severely wounded in the chest.
His comrades carried him off safely,
and the Idea was abanodned.
Squad after squad of police arrived.
Every point of vantage was occupied.
First from one window and then an
other of the two upper stories tlio be
sieged fired, from time to time inflict
ing n slight wound on a policeman or
civilian. Bullet nfter bullet crashed
through the windows, but none found
Its mark.
At 10 o'clock the police communicat
ed with the home secretary. In less
than half nn hour a hundred Scots
guards, quartered In the tower of Lon
don, and with them a Maxim gun,
swung into the action to aid 1,500 men
in their attack on the fortress held by
two. Every guardsman wns u picked
marksman.
Tho soldiers rapidly took up their
positions. Some opened fire from win
dows of nn opposite fortress. Others
lay at full length In tho street, while
the crack shots occupied a loft In a
neighboring brewery, keeping up a
steady fire.
The defenders did not lack courage.
Now at one window, then nt another,
a smoke blackened hand holding a
Mauser pistol wus seen, and half a
dozen shots would bo poured at the
assaulters, while the bullets of the
guardsmen and the police shattered
the woodwork nnd pitted tho sill. Still
the defenders remnined unhurt, still
they replied with shot nfter shot, hut
the end came nt last.
At 1 o'clock smoke began to creep
out of the windows of the tenement.
The besieged had preferred death to
surrender. The smoke grew denser,
and llames appeared. The lire the be
sieged men hnd crented was left to ac
complish what the soldiers and police
had failed to do. The soldiers con
tinued to pour n rapid fire into tho
blazing house, but now there wns no
reply.
For fifty minutes this continued.
Then two shots were heard within.
This was the lust sign from tho two
desperate defenders. A few minutes
later tho roof nnd copings were fall
ing and the ground floor windows were
belching flames.
Then n fire engine hurried up, und
detectives, with revolvers pointed
sprang to tho front door, which wns
still standing. They smashed It In,
but the heat was too great for them to
enter. Water wns applied, and when
tho fire nnd heat were subdued two
charred bodies at last rewarded the
day long efforts of the police and sol
diers. When nil was over two guns, with
wagons In full martini array, were
driven up. Never before In all their
record of long centuries of service had
the Royal Horso artillery been called
Vr duty in Loudon.

"NO FEMALE DOGS IN WAYNE
COUNTY!"
Remarkable State of Affairs In The
Old Shire.
There are 2.37G dogs In Wayne
County. Taxes at the rate of $1
each for tho past year have been
collected, and tho county has been
enriched by $2,376. According to
one of the county officials a re
markable state of affairs exists in
tho old shire. "Thoro are no fe
male dogs In Wayne county," he
told THE CITIZEN reporter to-day.
That's a pretty good "starter" for a
New Year s "story," Isn't lt7 Who
can beat it?
FIRST INSPIRATION.
1 stood all alone by the harbor one
night,
And watched the wild waves wash the
shore,
When into my soul came a wondrous
light,
I never experienced before.
The moonlight was shimmering over
tho foam,
LIko spangles of silver and gold,
And out in tho distance woro ships
sailing home,
Far staunchor than vessels of old.
The sea-gulls were nesting far up
from tho shore,
Securo In their rocky retreat,
No sound could I hear but tho break
ers' wild roar,
Submerging tho rocks at my feet.
I seemed like a monarch with count
less estates,
Tho glories of nature were mine,
Extending away to the Heavenly
gates,
Where mortal Is lost in Divine.

With tho election of Senator Wil
liam E. Crow, of Unlontown, as
president pro tern, of tho state sen
ate and John F. Cox, of Homestead,
as speaker, the legislative session of
1911 is now fairly under way,
