S22-23 CHOIR DIRECTOR MORNING FIRE Accused Veteran Declares Bethlehem Boy Asked to Be Taken Along Jack Donahue, 35, of New York ar rested in Bethlehem Saturday on a kidnaping charge, was brought to police headquarters yesterday. A warrant was issued for Donahue Saturday night by Alderman William A. Gotthardt, on complaint of William J. Gaumer, 1735 Hanover avenue, who claims Donahue tried to take Gaumer 's 15-year-old son.

Jack, away for the second time. Donahue was questioned by Captain of Police A. C. Miller yesterday and the man declared that about a month ego young Gaumer approached him (Donahue) while he was in Bethlehem and told him of trouble he was in and asked to accompany him. Donahue stated he compiled and took the boy on his way as far as Dayton, where the lad wired home for money and was picked up by Dayton police as a runaway, when Donahue went to claim the money.

Gaumer remained outside of the telegraph office, where he was caught by police. Saturday, Donahue says, he passed through Allentown to Bethlehem then phoned Gaumer to bring" his marine discharge to Bethlehem. This call was intercepted by the elder Gaumer, who says Donahue invited the boy to go west again. There are several discrepancies in the stories told by Donahue and the one related by the elder Gaumer and the son. It is thought by the elder Gaumer that Donahue mistreated the boy while they were traveling together and for this reason Gaumer had the man ar rested at Bethlehem, the youngster act' ing as a decoy and leading the Beth lehem police to his former traveling companion.

Donahue, a veteran of the World War and a marine for fifteen years, talks with impaired speech, the result of being gassed during the war, he says. He will be given a hearing this weeK before Alderman, Gotthardt. EGYPT CONGREGATION Silk Clerical Robe and Purse Presented to Pastor, Rev. E. 0.

1 22-23 HAS home-coming; Look for It to Be Back to Customary Pureness Within Few Days Encouraged by the result of recent tests made of water at Slatington's reservoir that revealed clearing up of the polluted condition, officials of the borough yesterday declared they felt certain that within the next forty-eight hours the water will be back to its cus tomary pureness. To insure perfect safety, however, the residents of the borough have been advised to continue to boil their drinking water until the placards warning of the polluted condition of the water are removed from about the town by officials, The treating of the water in the reservoir with chlorine, work that has been carried on during the latter part of the week, has resulted in the purification of the water and bringing it close to its usual standard, the borough officials announced. Tests of the water were made again on Friday by engineers from Harrisbui-g and they reported an improvement and a clearing away to a large extent of the germs causing the pollution, which they branded as a local condition that will pass off with the chlorine treatments. The state engineers, however, took back samples of the water with them to Harrisburg -in an effort to segre gate the germs causing the pollution and will report their findings to the Slatington borough officers. The discovery last week that the water in the reservoir was impure, caused considerable alarm in Slatington, but prompt work by the borough officials has quickly relieved the condition.

Allentown, Bethlehem and Slatington taxpayers will decide whether or not voting machines will be used when they cast their ballots at the November election. There may be other sections in the county that will petition the county commissioners to place the voting machine proposition on the ballot, but to date Chief Clerk Blank has only received requests from the two cities and from the up-county borough. Should the entire county vote on the proposition, and It would pass it is estimated that the machines would cost the county in the neighborhood of $200,000 for the installation. The Pennsylvania Elections' Association announced yesterday that about seventy-five per cent, of the state's electorate will be afforded the opportunity of voting for or against the use of voting machines at the coming elections. Only in thirty-six of the 67 counties of the state will voting machine refer-endums take place but the largest centers of population, where the association claims they are most needed, are included.

A considerable number of double referendum votes are scheduled. That is, in some counties which will vote as a whole on the adoption of the machine, municipalities within their borders will also vote separately on local adoption. If such municipalities vote favorably on the. local proposal they will get voting machines even though the county-wide proposal fails. In Northampton county the proposition will be placed before the voters of Bethlehem, Easton and the borough of Nazareth.
