Victor Burr: Arthur Brisbane: Loca Financial LEABER TIM Classified Sports TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 27, 1935 vriLttM Abarre 7 STEADY, BOY! SLOVAK DELEGATES JENNINGS Severance Absolutism Free States Liberty Lives A Great Tree Falls Fall, Limb and Back Double Ax Accuracy The Claws of Steel TO ATTEND BANQUET x-'wsm f-i I wT I I TANK DRIVER SUCCUMBS TO McCloud, Aug. 27 The McCIoud River Lumber Company saws and sells' from 100,000,000 to 160,000,000 feet of white pine and sugar pine a year. It is 30 miles to the lumber camp through a forest like corduroy. Imagine a beetle, -with automobile of proper size, motoring rapidly over the surface of a washboard. B.

W. Lakin, general manager of the company, drives fast and thanks heaven it Is possible to get into the timber with an automobile at all. He takes you to the camp, where giant trees are crashing down to feed the mill. A forest giant stands 150 feet high, six feet through the trunk. At the foot are three men.

To that doomed tree they are as the hang man. Two men hold axes with double blades. Beside them is a long rib bon-like crosscut saw. They are the "fall men," who, cause the tree to crash. With them stands the "limb man.

He trims off the limbs after the giant falls. Soon will come the "buck man" with a one man crosscut saw. He cuts the tree trunk into 16-foot lengths. The "fall men" have decided which way the tree is to fall, with no damage to itself and as little as possible to smaller trees. Their axes cut deeply on the side toward which the tree must fall.

They cut a level shelf into the tree and take out a slanting wedge above that shelf. All is done perfect precision Ultimately the tree falls within an Inch of where the "fall men wanted it. They now saw directly back of the wedge cut with their saw. Kerosene is poured on the saw. When the saw has cut in 10 Inches, steel wedges are driven back of the saw.

The "limb man" swings a sledge that drives the wedges deeper and deeper, following the saw, causing the tree to lose its balance. It is not the limb man's business to swing that sledge, but the men are ail on "piece work, so much per 1000 feet of lumber delivered to the loader. The more the "fall men" cut down, the more they all make. In eluding the buck man who saws up the trunk. Presently the top of the tree begins to tremble.

One of the "fall men" shouts a long drawn out single word, "T-I-M-B-E-R," which warns all that the tree is about to fall. It moves for an instant, slowly, then crashes with a roar heard all through the forest. The brush undergrowth is flat tened by the falling tree, and limbs in the great tree's path are stripped, screeching, from taller trees; but no tall tree is injured. The fall has been arranged to avoid other trees and a great stump, that would have broken the falling tree in two. The precision Is amazing.

The 'buck man" comes with his saw to cut the newly fallen tree into lengths that will weight from 30,000 to 40,000 pounds each. The execu tioners select another tree. When the "buck man has cut the tree into proper lengths, three giant "caterpillar tractors" come hurrying to the scene, each to seize with grappling hooks one of the heavy logs and drag It through the brush to the railroad track and the "loader," a machine that lifts the great logs to the flat cars as though they were matches. One mechanic runs the loader, two work on the flat car, distributing the logs, and two work on the ground, guiding the logs with ropes, as they are lifted up. NEUTRAUTY RESOLUTION IS APPROVED United States War Policy Is Without Precedent.

Sounds Warning to Citizens Washington, Aug. 27. (IV-The unprecedented neutrality policy went to the statute today, with President Roosevelt choosing high noon to approve the resolution. The new course is a sharp departure from traditional American policy in that it is mandatory upon the President. Foremost of the devices intended to keep this country out of wars over foreign controversies is a mandatory embargo until next February 29 on shipments of arms to belligerents.

Board Set Up In addition the legislation sets up a munitions board to control licensing. of arms exports. It authorizes the President to proclaim that Americans traveling on ships of warring nations do so at their own risk, to forbid American ships to carry arms to any belig-gerent or any neutral port for re-shipment to a nation at war, and to keep foreign submarines out of American ports. The neutrality resolution was rushed through Congress last week as Senator Robinson, the administration leader, shouted a warning to the world that America will not go to war "to settle European con-troveries." Critics expressed fear, however, that the policy, would amount to no more than a "New Year's resolution" in case of war. CASE IS NOT PRESENTED Grand Jury Files Report With Judge John S.

Fine Inspect County Prison The dynamiting charges against Emerson Jennings, local printer, and Joseph Harris of Scranton and New York, will not be brought before the August grand jury at its present sitting. This was apparent this afternoon when the jury sub mitted another report to Judge J. S. Fine and then went to make an inspection of the county prison. District Attorney Thomas Lewis' did not give any reason why the transcripts against Jennings and Harris were not submitted to the jury and it was intimated at his office that detectives have not completed their investigation and that the jury may be recalled in September to hear testimony against these two defendants.

They are charged with being involved in the dynamiting of Judge v. A "Valentine's automobile in front of the Miners Bank building on March 28th last. The jury is expected to make Its final report to Judge Fine this after noon, but no other cases were on the list for their consideration. It its report the jury returned 37 true bills and ignored 32 other transcripts charging defendants with criminal offenses. Indict Gallagher Hugh Gallagher, of Nanticoke was indicted by the jury on the charge of involuntary manslaughter for running down and killing Leo Nilon, a Wilkes-Barre young man on the Salem Township Highway on hte night of July 2nd.

The. jury Ignored the involuntary manslaughter case against John Cruciani, of Peckvllle who ran down and killed John Constantino, of Plains, at that place on the night of July 21. The true bills returned follow: List of True Bills Involuntary manslaughter Hugh J. Gallagher, R. H.

Margiotti, appealing for an investigation, following refusal of the attorney general to act yesterday. Jennings' message today again charged that he is being "framed" ana tnai perjured evidence was given by witnesses against him.

His telegram rolows: "Hon. Charles J. Margiotti, "Attorney General of the Com monwealth of Pennsylvania," Harrisburg, Pa. "Your telegram received. I hope you ao not reject my appeal on the grounds that frame-ups are so commonplace and usual that mv anoeal to you last Sunday is not an ex traordinary case.

If this case does not warrant your consideration and full invest! gatlon what knd of a case can? "Organizations, representing over membership in Luzerne County have formed committees to assist in my defense. "I can prove that perjury of witnesses was used in this frame-un. and as an innocent man I demand I be spared further scandal and disgrace, by a full investigation of the lactN. "To have my name blackened by such villainous charges is infamous. and assure you that thosa pre ferring the charges are fully aware oi my innocence.

"EMERSON P. JENNINGS, Refusal on the part of the attor ney general to interfere in the case was contained In the following mes sage yesterday to Jennings: "Your telegram Just came to my attention due to absence from Harrisburg. It is not the policy of the Department of Justice to interfere with local district attorneys in the investigation of prosecution of local criminal matters except in extraordinary cases. Otherwise, the request must come from the local district attorney, or the "court, or instruc tions from the Governor." COOK ESTATE By the will of Marie F. Cook, late of Ross Township, just probated, she leaves her jewelry, clothing and personal effects to her daughter Barbara, and the remainder of her estate to her husband Horace G.

Cook, Jr. The estate is valued at 150 and letters of administration were taken out by the husband. AUGUST 27, 1935 Capsule History Continued Declaration of Independence The British King and Cabinet In solemn session often met, And this resolved and that declared That no exertion should be spared To make the colonists obey, And with no representing, pay. The colonies united then, And Jefferson unsheathed his pen, And wrote the declaration hurled Was echoed clear around the world. These colonies, the claim he makes.

Are Free and Independent States, With rights by Gbd conferred on man, Which no annointed sovereign can Destroy among these lights we name Life Liberty and still we claim This further right, that we may press Pursuit of honest happiness. In 1775 practically all the various peoples of the world were arbitrarily ruled. France was an absolute monarchy, although certain customs operated to place some small restraint on the will of the king. Austria had long dominated tho Holy Roman Empire, and tun emperor's will was law. Frederick the Great had already made a re.it power of Prussia, but the people had no part in the government.

That part of Italy which was not dominated by Aimtrla was a collection of city States or dukedoms In which there was no political freedom. Spain was governed by an absolute monarch. In form Great Britain afforded an exception. Hers was a constitutional monarchy, not an absolute. But up to and beyond 1775 the franchise was so narrowly restricted In Great Britain that the Government was really In the hands of the great landlords, who could be and often were as despotic as any king.

Until 1R32 only about four hundred thousand favored Britons had the right to vote. The great reform Increased the number to about nine hundred thousand this out of a population of approxlmatelytwenty-flve million. As late as 1831 the Right Honorable Member for Oxford University eloquently defended the Rotten Borough system, under which the landlords ruled. The American colonists, living In a different and contrasting environment from that of England, held different and contrasting political views. Yet It was not until after the bloodshed at Lexington that any considerable number of Americans began to think in terms of separation and independence.

Even after that unhappy affair, actual separa-, tion could have been long delayed if the king and the Parliament had been willing to make Important concessions. They were however, but put their trust In coercion instead. Thomas Jefferson was one of those who might truthfully have anticipated Charlotte Corday in saying: "I was a republican before the revolution." But he was only one of many who. after Lexington, came to the conclusion that In complete severance from Great Britain lay the only hope of political freedom for the colonies. Still there was no hurry.

Fourteen months passed after the bloodshed at Lexington before the Declaration of Independence was adopted. Among the more than fifty men who urged the declaration, the conservative John Adams was as ready as the radical Thomas Jefferson. The Congress of 1775 was simply a collection of representatives from the several colonies. The Declaration nf Independence announced that the colonies were "free and Independent States," and It meant that they were free and Independent not only of Great Britain, but of one another. us iramers entertained not much hope of permanent political union, for the colonies were Intensely Jealous or tneir inaiviniiai sovereignties.

During the Revolutionary War they cooperated only Innselv. and time and time again Indifference or antipathy Jeopardized the patriot cause. The magnificent tact and Inexhaustible patience of Washington saved the day. But the Declaration of Inde pendence opened a new era In the realm of government. It was a clarion note that, like the shot at Lexington, "echoed round the world." Thirteen years after it was adopted, French revolutionaries pulled down the Bastile.

and absolutism In government was buried in the ruins. Now It has been uncovered, dug out, and propped up again in Russia. Germany, and Italy, but this is only what Kmerson would have called a "passing phenomenon." Dictatorships carry within them the germ of their destruction. LAVINA DERR TENT Lavlna Derr Tent 26.

F. Pfromnier, civil engineer of the 3rd Corps Area, U.S.

Army, relative to an engineering survey of these three municipalities as a step toward flood control. This survey is necessary in order to determine what property would have to be taken over for use in the proposed control project under the Works Progress Administration. The federal government will not pay tho damages, If any, In case of any project where land must be condemned for such a purpose. Towns Face Expense After the lines are drawn In Kingston, Edwardsvllle and Forty ort, the councils of these munici palities win navo to devise wavs and means of paying for any pri vate property which won ho re quired for the proposed flood control project.

Army Engineers, could be he gun In the near future, probably be fore the end of this week, and fin Ished within a few weeks. The mun icipallties are to provide the Makes to he used and also furnish the labor to assist the engineers In mak ing the surveys. A meeting was held last night in Hotel Sterling by chief executives, solicitors and civil engineers of the 14 municipalities of the valley who are directly concerned In flood con trol plans. A. Harden senior vice president of tho Chamber, was chairman.

Unity it Needed All of the officials who took part In the discussion declared that'the several municipalities should unite In attempting to secure valley-wide flood control. Walter P. Johns, municipal engineer of Wllkes-Barre City, said that the separate project for flood control in the southern part of the city and the upper part of Hanover Township will not Interfere with the valley-wide project hut will fit in as an Integral part of It. It was brought out again that under the $4,000,000,000 Federal Works plans, Luzerne County should be en titled to about $13,000,000 on the basis of population. The present contemplated flood control project would cost about $4,000,000.

Engineering Aid Offend Harold J. Mahon, of Plttston, declared Plttston and West Pittston will offer necessary engineering assistance. Kingston already has announced that Edwardsvllle, Plymouth, Plains, Hanover Township and Nanticoke will authorize engineering assistance. Burgess Samuel A.
