AN ATTEMPHT BURGLARY
Panel in Rear Door of Grand Union
Tea Co. Storo Removed But En
trance Was Not Gained.
Sometime during Thursday night
of last week unknown parties at
tempted to burglarize the store of
the Grand Union Tea company at
this place by removing a panel of the
rear door. The work was not that
of a novice but showed evidence of
one who had previous knowledge of
this kind of work.
Thursday night Julius Rlckert, a
clerk, had occasion to enter the
storo and when ho locked the front
door, upon leaving the building, it
being about 10 o'clock, he observed
a suspicious looking character walk
ing up and down the walk on the op
posite side of the street. He did
not think anything further concern
ing it until he entered the store In
the morning and observed the lower
panel nearest the knob of the door
had been removed.
Before opening the door he no
ticed that the lower bolt had been
shoved back, but that the upper one
was not disturbed. As ho opened
the door the several pieces constitu
ting the original panel lay upon the
doorstep. There were nine separate
pieces. Some were straight, while
others were V-shaped. The panel
had been removed very carefully by
the aid of a chisel and sharp knife.
There were several places where the
imprint of a chisel was imbedded In
the wood. The cuts were celan and
very smooth, indicating that a sharp
knife or chisel had been used. The
dlffereit pieces were slightly splint
ered and only a few chips were on
the stone step.
It Is evident that the burglar was
under the Impression that the door
was locked with a key and if he re
moved the lower panel he might
turn the key and gain entrance to the
store. It is presumed that he was
either frightened away or got cold
feet. Nothing was disturbed or
found missing, Indicating that he did
not enter the building. It Is also
thought that his statue prevented his
squeezing through the door panel.
Whoever the party or parties might
have been, especially if they were of
a local character, they better keep
close watch as arrests may follow.
A little detective work has been
done regarding the matter which
might prove some parties guilty. The
would-be burglar probably was not
aware of the fact that the Inner
side of the door had been varnished
and left the imprint of his thumb and
fingers on tho wood.

TREES IN WINTER CAN BE
HEELEB
Montgomery County Fruit Grower
Questions State Zoologist Cover
Plenty of Trunk of Young
Trees.
An extensive fruit grower In
'Montgomery county wrote to State
Zoologist H. A. Surface, at Harrls
burg, stating that he has purchased
a large number of fruit trees, hold
ing them for early spring planting.
Ho said, "I heeled them In nicely,
and put the roots down fourteen In
ches. The trees are In a slanting
position, and about one foot and a
half of the trunk is covered. The
rest of them Is exposed, Some fruit
growers told me that miy trees will
all freeze because I did not cover
them all. Now what will I do?
Please give me advice as to what to
do. The tops are too high from the
level of the ground to cover them all
up."
To this Important and practical
Inquiry Professor Surface replied as
follows: "I can say that tho trees
which you obtained this fall and
have heeled In, are all right, and
your treatment was correct. Do not
worry about It. I carried 3,200
trees through tho winter last year
that were heeled In almost exactly
as you describe. They were not en
tirely covered by earth, but the roots
were well -covered. They came
through all right, and grew well this
summer. Among them were peach,
pear and apple, and although the
winter was unusually severe, I saw
no evidence of Injury to any of them
by freezing.
"If you have covered the trunks
to one and one-half feet, even
tho weather should be so severe as to
freeze them to the present surface of
the earth, that would not cause seri
ous Injury, because this Is about the
distance at which you would cut
them off anyhow in planting them.
"Do not put straw or corn fodder
or anything else over them, because
If you do you will make a place of
protection for the mice, and these
will feed on your trees during the
winter. This Is one of the great
troubles with trees heeled In, If
there are open spaces among the
roots where the mice can live. At
this time of year the grass, leaves,
straw and other rubbish should be
raked away from the ridge where the
trees are heeled In, so that there are
no places offering protection to the
mice. Be sure that all cracks and
holes leading down to the roots of
the trees are filled. The only loss
that wo had last winter was from
mice feeding on the roots of some
of the peach trees, where the earth
was not fllled In entirely around and
under all of them."
MERGER IS APPROVED
FOR POWER COMPANIES
Harrlsburg, Feb. 1. The state
department today approved the mer
ger of the Wallenpaupack Power
company and the Paupack Power
company, of Scranton, under the
name of tho New York, Pennsylva
nia and New Jersey Power company
of Scranton, capitalized at $450,000.
Tho merged companies were form
ed by Scranton men and hold land
and water rights along the Paupack
river near Hawley. It Is tho inten
tion of tho companies to supply elec
tric current for light, heat and pow
er to scores of towns In tho three
states.
Officers of tho company stated to
day that tho merger doesn't indicate
anything other than that both com
panies, always owned by tho same
parties, will now be under one con
trol and management. The merger
was made because of an apparent
defect in one of the charters.
Options have been secured on
thousands of acres of watershed It
was said and as tho options aro duo
to expire, the land Is being acquii
ed. It Is proposed to manufacture
electricity by means of water power.
Hugo dams' will bo built and tho
power will bo carried many miles.
It is doubtful at this time, howevor,
If It will be commercially advantage
ous to carry It to this city because
of tho topography of tho territory
through which It would necessarily
over ismllar distances to this which
do not present tho physical obstacles
as bringing It here would.
No definite plans could be an
nounced on tho ground that the com
pany was concerned now and for
some time In tho future In prelimin
ary work.

MRS. FRIEBEWALB'S REABING
WELL ATTENDED
"The Servant in tho House," by
Charles Rann Kennedy Well Re
ceived. Tho third of this season's read
ings by Mrs. Salo Frledewald took
place In the High school auditorium
on Saturday afternoon. A large at
tendance greeted Mrs. Frledewald at
this reading which can be said to be
the best this season. "The Servant,
in the House," by Charles Rann
Kennedy, although familiar to many
book-lovers present, presented many
different thoughts and situations un
der the spell of the reading. Mrs.
Frledewald Is truly an artist when
depicting to an audience the scenes
laid out in a book and this is true
with "The Servant In tho House," as
she presented the different charac
ters, and brought out the underlying
thought In a way one would not
havo gained by merely witnessing the
play. She began by describing the
characters and their respective
places In the play. There was the
vicar, Rev. William Smith, who
stood for the best In life, but who
began to think of material success
and lost sight of the spiritual. He
married an ambitious woman, who by
her marriage to him, estranged her
self from her family.
Mary, the child of the play, was
the drunkard's daughter, the vicar's
niece. She symbolizes the child
spirit and is first to recognize that
something is wrong wjth the church
sewers. Robert Smith, the wayward
brother, Mary's father, Is the scaven
ger who volunteers to clean out the
church sewer. There are two bishops
in the play one, the Bishop of
Benares, who is the "Servant in the
House," symbolizes the Christ spirit
the other, the Bishop of Lanca
shire, who symbolizes the man who
Is dead, worldly and trespassing In
sin.
The scene of the play is laid in
England but an oriental flavor is
added by the personality of the new
"Servant" from India. The "Ser
vant" calls himself "Manson" and
represents tho Christ spirit. Each
character meets him with tho ques
tion, "'Where have I seen you be
fore?" He possesses great Influence
over everyone and that Influence is
for good. The "Servant" tells of
building the "Church of the World,"
which cost millions hy sacrifice and
of its being built on a sound founda
tion, that of love and sacrifice and
lighted with the divine light.
The sewers of the vicar's church
have caused much annoyance by tho
odor so that people refused to at
tend. It was through the determin
ation of Robert that the sewer was
cleaned. The point of this Is that
the church was built on dead and de
cayed traditions.
The reading was very good and the
audience was well paid for their at
tendance. The next of Mrs. Frlede
wald's readings will bo "The Terri
ble Meek," by the same author,
which will take .place on Saturday
afternoon. Feb. 15.
