BELL TELEPHONE GIRL AIDS IN NEGRO'S CAPTURE
jnSS ALICE DERSHEIMER OP
SOUTH CANAAN TRACES NE
GRO BY TELEPHONE.
Peoplo In Vicinity Kejolco Over Cnp--turo
Through Her Clever Work
Mnn Returned to Fnrvlcw That
Afternoon.
Alonzo Nicholas, a patient in the
Criminal Insane Hospital located at
Farview, got away from his keepers
there Tuesday afternoon shortly af
ter one o'clock hut after a few
hours of liberty he was found in the
vicinity of Waymart.
To Miss Alice Dersheimer, opera
tor of the Bell telephone at Canaan
Corners, is duo tho credit for captur
ing the negro who escaped from the
Criminal Insane Hospital at Farview
Tuesday evening. Miss Dersheimer,
In an interview with tho Citizen,
stated that she received word that
Nicholas had escaped about 20 min
utes after he was missed from the
grounds where he had been working.
"I gave a general alarm on the
line, reaching all the people I could
on tho main road and also cross
roads that tho man was on his way
toward South Canaan. Men rushed
out of their homes and the escaped
man was caught by Dr. McCafferty
and David Gildea near Cease Bros,
on the road toward Philip Relning's
in Cherry Ridge township.
"The man was walking very fast
as ho passed the different houses that
I called up to ascertain his move
ment. Miss Dersheimer's keen forsight
and clever work certainly led to the
capture of the escaped man, who,
had he not been captured, might
sooner or later have caused much
trouble and sorrow. The young lady
telephone operator deserves much
credit for her resourceful tactics,
for had the escaped man not been
taken into custody, people everyf
whore in the vicinity would have
been terror-stricken and .have passed
sieepiess nignts.
Alonzo Nichols had been commit
ted to the hospital at Farview, from
Franklin county. Ho was not vio
lently insane and had been engaged
in helping grade the lawn around
the institution that afternoon. When
the guard's back was turned he made
his escape into the woods. A thor
ough search was at once instigated
and resulted in the man's capture
oerore many hours.
The news that one of the inmates
of the criminal insane hospital had
escaped, for a time put terror into
tho minds of residents of that vi
cinity, and many did not venture
from their homes until they heard
of the man's capture.
HATTLESNAKE "JACK" IN TOWN.
Jack MacConnell, of Lord's Valley,
Piko county, better known as "Rat
tlesnake Jack," was a business cal
ler In Honesdale part of Tuesday
and Wednesday. Mr. MacConnell is
well known throughout this section,
having spent his entire life getting
rattlesnakes and game. Jack is
much sought after by sportsmen
from Honesdale and vicinity, for he
Knows just wnero tne oest game is
found and where are tho hiding
places of the speckled beauties, bass
and other gamoy flsh. He is a very
Interesting conversationalist, and ho
told a representative of Tho Citizen
a number of good stories in the short
interval tho scribe had with him
previous to his departure on an Erio
train.
Jack said since 1S77 he has taken
out of Pike county 7,000 rattle
snakes. "It's an easy matter to
catch a rattlesnake All you do is
just catch him. I have been bitten
several times by them but only once
was given up by tho doctors as being
beyond hopes of living. I was sick
ten days but was not as sick perhaps
as a person might have been had ho
taken no means of extracting tho
poison.
I receive from 52.50 to $3.00 for
skins that I tan. They are used in
making purses and belts. I have
imiuu largo quantities or rattlesnake
oil, but only sold one bottle, having
given hundreds of bottles away. The
oil is used for ear trouble.
"The largest rattlesnake I over
caught measured C feet, 3 inches.
The average length is between two
and a half and three feet.
'The snakes caught in swampy

GOVERNOR JOHNSON SAYS
HE WILL SIGN LAND BILL
GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA
TELEGRAPHS ADMINISTRA
TION OF HIS INTENTION.
Also Gives His Reasons Declnrcs
That California Docs More Thnn
the Existing Treaty Requires.
iSacramentq, Cal., May 14. Ex
pressing his determination to sign
the alien land bill, recently passed
by tho legislature, Governor Hiram
W. Johnson, of California, today
telegraphed to Secretary of State
Bryan, a long explanation of the ac
tion taken by tho legislature. The
message was In answer to tho re
quest telegraphed to the governor
by Secretary Bryan at tho direction
of President Wilson that the bill be
vetoed.
Tho governor's message in part
follows:
"Honorable Wm. J. Bryan, Secretary
of State, Washington.
"Your very courteous telegram
relating to the alien land bill reach
ed me late Sunday night. I take
it from our conversations and your
request made to me to withhold ex
ecutive action until opportunity was
accorded for the presentations from
tho federal government, that your
message embodies what It was your
wish, and tho wish of the president
to say to us before final action.
"In this response it is my design
most respectfully to present the situ
ation from our standpoint and the
views that actuated our legislature
in passing the bill and that impel me
to sanction it.
Problem Little Understood.
"For many years a very grave
problem, little understood In the
East, has confronted California; a
problem the seriousness of which
has been recognized by statements
in our nation, and has been viewed
with apprehension by tho people of
this stato. When tho present Con
stitution of California was adopted
more than thirty years ago, it con
tained tho following declaration:
'The presence of foreigners ineligible
to become citizens of the United
States is declared to bo dangerous
to tho well being of tho state, and
the legislature shall discourage
their immigration by all means with
in its power.'
"Of late years our problem from
another angle has become acute, and
the agitation has been continuous in
the last decade in reference to our
agricultural lands until finally afllr
mativo action in an attempted solu
tion became imperative. This at
tempted solution is found in tho ac
tion of our legislature in the passage
of the alien land bill. In this enact
ment we have kept ever in mind our
national good faith as evidenced by
existing treaties, and our desire and
anxiety have been to act only in such
fashion as would commend us to our
sister states and would justify us to
our fellow countrymen."
STOLEN NAVAL PLANS
CONTAINED NO SECRETS.
Washington, May 14. Detectives
investigating tho theft of plans for
the electrical wiring of the Dread
nought Pennsylvania declared today
that publication of the "leak" prob
ably would hamper their work and
might prevent solution of the prob
lem. The department of justice has
several clues which may lead to ar
rests. Nothing so far has developed
it is said, to directly connect any
foreign nation with the suspects.
Further investigation at tho navy
department today revealod that the
second set of plans of tho new Dread
nought Pennsylvania to be stolen
from the bureau of steam engineer
ing were taken between the evening
of Saturday, March 22, and the fol
lowing Monday.
SETTLED BY ARBITRATION.
An action on warranty in deed
was settled by arbitration in the
court house on Thursday morning.
The caso had been placed on the
trial list and was finally given over
for settlement by arbitration. Tho
arbitrators were George Taylor, F.
H. Crago and Charles E. Dodgo. The
caso was between Gauser Bros.,

MORE CONCERNING MEETING
OF IMPROVEMENT SOCIETY
MISS PETERSEN SPOKE OF THE
GOOD WORK DONE DURING
. RECENT CLEAN-UP WEEK.
Miss Lyda Stokes Adams, Suffrage
Lender to bo In Honesdale May
20 AV1I1 Speak in High School
Officers Elected.
After tho reading of the reports
by the Secretary and Treasurer, in
tho annual meeting of the Hones
dale Improvement Society on Mon
day afternoon, an account of which
appeared In tho last issue of The
Citizen, Miss Caroline Petersen, the
president, made a few remarks in re
gard to Clean-Up Week. Sho said
that although much good had been
done, and most of tho peoplo had
done considerable along tliat line,
still there is much more to ba ac
complished. Some merchants are
known to sweep tho dirt from their
stores onto tho street and into the
gutter. There aro still many back
yards that need attention. The press
did much to help during Clean-Up
Week, and tho mayor issued a pro
clamation which was published in
tho three county papers which was
also helpful. She spoke of the great
work which is being dono in New
York where they have enlisted the
help of many of the city's most
influential and wealthy women, it
has been noted that considerable
garbage and refuse has been dumped
on the different river banks, and that
the banks of the river along tho
cemoterles are also being filled in
with ashes and all kinds of rubbish.
Tho last place, however, is outside of
the jurisdiction of this society, but
should also be given attention.
Many benches have been broken In
the different parks owing to the
roughness and carelessness of the
boys.
The gavel used by tho president in
calling the meeting to order is a gift
of Mrs. S. E. Jenkins, and bears
this inscription, "H. I. A., March,
1912." It is of red cedar and was
procured by Mrs. Jenkins at Jef
ferson Davis' last homo at Biloxi,
Miss., now used as a home ,for old
soldiers.
The following letter received from
Mrs. Thomas J. Ham, formerly of
this place, was read 'by the presi
dent: " I read with much pleasure tho
doings of the Improvement associa
tion at the monthly gathering. I'll
allow that I didn't feel quite at home
in the High school building, my mind
clings to tho town hall. It was at
that objective point I, as secretary
for 1G years, issued my order for the
assembling of the 'Knights of the
Round Table.' I should miss many
loved faces were I permitted once
more to be ono of you'; they have
gone from us, forever passed to fair
er regions.
" I beg of you to keep my memory
green. Ah, well, gone are all those
days, but the memory of them Is sjtill
cherished as something precious.
" It was a good idea replacing tho
willows on tho river bank, sort of
taking thought of the morrow and a
stick in time does mean much for the
future beauty of Honesdale. I hope
the time is not far distant when you
can locate the Lion's head, Miss
Brownscombo's gift. I have always
placed It at the Stato bridge. Re
member I am a life member by tho
united kindness of my many lang
syne friends of tho Improvement as
sociation.
" No doubt you are all awaiting
the paving of Front street, so long in
chancery."
Mrs. Alma J. G. Dix was next
presented. She said she had receiv
ed a letter from Miss Lyda Stokes
Adams, a suffrage leader of much
prominence. Miss Adams, who will
be on her way from Montrose to Mil
ford, will bo in Honesdale on Tues
day evening next, May 20. Sho will
speak In tho Honesdale High school
auditorium, and all those who care
to hear her aro invited to attend.
Besides speaking on Woman's Suf-
rage sho will also speak along civic
lines. The High school orchestra
will render music that evening.
Among tho changes in the officers
is that of Mrs. H, C. Rockwell for
secretary, in place of Miss Jennlo
Ball, who resigned, and who has
held that office since 1907, and Miss
Jennie Lee was appointed to take
charge of the Children's Auxllinry,
Mrs. Harry Oday who has had charge
of that work for a number of years
having resigned.
The following officers were elect
ed for the ensuing year:
Miss Caroline L. Petersen, presi
dent; Mrs. H. C. Rockwell, secretary;
Mrs. L. C. Rechtmeyer, assistant

HABEAS CORPUS
HEARING CONTINUED.
Mrs. AA'lngcrter, of Rcnovn, Again
Disappointed Says Sho Wns
Divorced Tliree Times
More Evidence Needed.
The habeas corpus proceedings
started last March by Mrs. Mary
Wingerter, of Renova, Pa., for the
recovery of her daughter, Ethel
May Shields, aged sixteen, whom
she claimed was being Illegally de
tained by William Myers, a resident
of Poyntelle, was brought up again
Monday afternoon, before Judge
Searle. The daughter is now in tho
homo of Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Smith at Rock Lake and Myers
claimed that the child had been
with him for six years before the
mother made a claim on her. A let
ter from the Chief of Police of Re
nova, which was sent voluntarily,
stated that- Mrs. Wingerter, was a
bad woman. In the evidence she
gave Monday afternoon, Mrs. Win
gerter materially disagreed with the
testimony she gave at tho first hear
ing, when she said that her last hus
band had been killed. She stated
Monday that she had been divorced
three times. Sho was married to
Shields, Lewis and Wingerter, re
spectively, and was divorced" from
each, and in the latter case she ad
mitted that Wingerter had obtained
tho divorce on the grounds of adul
tery. No decision was made in the
case and more evidence will be tak
en in the case. It is likely that the
two sides will agree on some person
going to Renova, Pa., to get evidence
so as to throw more light on the
matter. A further hearing will be
held on the second Monday in July
and in tho meantime Ethel Shields
will remain with Mr. and Mrs.
Smith.
