The damage amounted to less than $25 and is covered by insurance. A box alarm, calling Companies 1, 6 and truck was turned in by tho officer, and No. 5 soon had the flames out by using two rexes. The fire had burned through several steps, and was blazing fiercely when firemen broke in the door to get to the flames. A window, near the stairway, had been left open, furnishing a draft for the flames.

It was impossible to tell whether there had been any oil or gasolene, used in starting the fire, although it thought that this method was used. An investigttion will, probably be started this morning by authorities in Rn attempt to discover the person who started the blaze. NARROW PASS GAVE ITALIANS MUCH TROUBLE HEADQUARTERS ITALIAN -ARMY, June 2. There is a- narrow pass on the mountain front of the Grapps which has-given, tho Italians a lot of trouble up to a short time ago. It is a rocky derile with cliffs rising sheer a thousand feet on cither side.

Through this narrow passage it was necessary for the men to go every day in handling supplies. But as they passed they were picked off one by one by an Austrian sharpshooter in a cavern near the top of the dirt's. Hero he had been lowered from the enemy lines along one sido of the an.d here food was lowered and the deadly fnsillade kept up day after day. It was recently observed, hewever, that a strange change came over the operations from the cliff. The shots rang out as.

usual whenever an Italian soldier went through the pass. But, tiigularly, no man ever fell; the shots nlways went wide of the mark; the cunning of the sharpshooter appear to be at an end. This continued fol days, with the Italians going back and forth safelv, and the aimless and idle shots ringing out from tho enemy post in the cliff. The Italians finally made a dash to clear out the place, their batteries pouring shots into the cavern while a scaling party entered it from one side. In the lead of the climbing party was Lieut.

Gugliclminetti, and as he rushed into the cave a singular sight was before him. Stretched on the ground was an Austrian soldier dying from an Italian bullet wound. But though an Austrian soldier in the gray-green hniform of Austria, the wounded man raised himself on his elbow, drew a tiny Italian flag from under his coat, and in a faint voice exclaimed: "Vice, I'talia." The dying man had only time to whisper "his story. He was Giorgio Avanzini, nephew of the socialist deputy Avanzini representing the city of Trent in the Austrian parliament. Like all the people of Trent and the Trcn-tino, he was an Italian by instinct though forced by the political situation of Trent under Austria to enter the Austrian army.

As such be found himself in the Austrian lines at the top of the cliff, and he had been detailed for th dangerous task of being lowered to the cavern to pick off Italian soldiers as they passed. Being under observation he kept his rifle going, the shots rang out regularly, but Avanzini took good care that no shot found its mark in an Italian soldier. Avanzini's body was lowered to the Italian lines, and the soldiers whose lives he had spared joined in giving the honors of war to a man wearing nn enemy uniform. .1 MT. CARMEL SCHOOLS PLAN ENTERTAINMENT The students of Mount Carmel High school and grammar grades, will give this evening to an appreciative and eager public, a musical entertainment of high class.

FREEDOlfWP. NAMES CORPS OF TEACHERS At a meeting of the Freedom tonvn-ship school board held on Saturday afternoon, it was decided to close one school at McKcc, and the school at Newry line was left vacant, and will be supplied later if the board finds that it will be necessary to open the school for the term. The following teachers were elected for the coming term: Central Grammar, U. T. Stucky; East Freedom grammar, Pearl Zeigler; East Freedom primary, Jennie Benton; McKee, consolidated schools, Sadie Rhodes; Grove school, Laura Walter; Leamersville, Laura Burket; Smith, Jennie Zeigler; Puzzletown, Alma Clark.

A new building was built at MoKee several years ago, when it was found that the" school was too large for one. Tho school has since diminished in numbers, and the fact that a number enter the Central Grammar school each year, reduced the number so that it was thought that one teacher could handle all, with the upper grade admitted to the grammar school. The new building is not large enough for the schools, so the old room will be used this term and the new building will be abandoned. WELFARE HEAD TELLS ABOUT JEW. SOLDIERS PROVIDENCE, R.

June 2. Colonel Harry Cutler, president of the Jewish Board for Welfare Work in the United States Army and Navy, has received from Major S. Lipson, senior Jewish chaplain, Home Forces, in London, a letter telling how the Jewish soldiers are being administered to in France and in England. Major B-ipson estimates there arc more than 40,000 Jews in the army and navy, but many others are anticipated through the plan to enlist Russian Jews. "In France," the letter reads, "Ihe senior Jewish chaplain, Major M.

Ad-ler, has under his control nine chaplain, some stationed at the base and others attached to armies up the line. Two chaplains have been appointed for duty in Egypt, their headquarters being Cairo and Alexandria. One chaplain is serving spiritual needs of the Jewish soldiers in Calonika and another has 1j -n appointed for duty nvith the Australian troops. "In tho United Kingdom there are fourteen officiating clergymen. At Al-dershot, one of the largest military centers, a chaplain holding military rank devoted his whole time to the needs of the troops.

Similar arrangements are now contemplated for other military centers in this country, each to have a chaplain's entire time and energy. "As necessitated, chaplains will le nominated for service with the newly-formed regiment composed mainly of Jews of Russian nationality. In the event of. any American military center being formed here, it will afford me much pleasure to apply for authority to enable me to arrange for American troops receiving spiritual ministration until such time as chaplains may De available from the United States. "I shall also be pleased to place at your disposal the extensive organization of this committee in connection with the visitation of sick and wounded in hospitals in the United Kingdom, and to furnish any information which may be of interest to you as well as to the relatives."

President Baldrige made a short HELLO GIRLS TO QUIT TELLING TIME OF DAY jln Effort to Lesson Burden i of Operators and Insure Better Service, Unneces-I sary Requests Are Taboo In an effort to lessen the burden of the Bell Telephone company operators, and to assist in furnishing better service of an important nature, tue company has requested its subscribers (and others) not lo ask the operator the, time of the day. It takes time to do this, the company, asserts, and when present conditions tax the service to the limit, this extra unnecessary call, holds back persons who 'have legitimate business to transact over the phone. The following notice has been issued by the company: "When a subscriber lifts his telephone receiver and asks: "What is the time, please?" all the machinery of the telephone the service of, the operator, the use of the lines and of telephone equipment generally is placed in operation just as is tho case when an important local call is made.

"In our telephone central offices there are switchboards with a certain number of operators' positions two, ten, a hundred or more, depending upon the size of the oftice. At each position is an operator. Before each operator terminate a given number of subscribers' lines. These telephone facilities are now being taxed to the utmost. "A large volume of the calls now being handled are.

for the time of day. If this class of calls really unnecessary is eliminated the total number of calls will be so reduced that each operator may handle effectively more calls of a really important nature, and both the work of the operator and telephone equipment may be so distributed that we may broaden our service to meet tne pressing government and industrial requirements of the hour." ANTHRACITE INDUSTRY IS OUTSPOKEN FOR CLEAN COAL The federal fuel administration has. just issued regulations governing the preparation of bituminous. Anthracite has been inspected for a long time and is being carefully prepared to ensure good fuel. Certain shippers of "snow-bird" coal from the anthracite region have been.

stopped by the local administrators, greatly to the satisfaction of the anthracite industry, for the aruthracite operators are insistent for clean coal for the consuming public. In every contract between operators and miners, as agreed to and upneld by the United Mine Workers, there is a penalty on miners who load impurities with coal that could reasonably be kept out. Safeguards for the men against persecution, for personal reasons by petty bosses, are also in the Contracts. The miners have no sympathy for dirty coal. Neither do they recognize any act that would load anything but clean coal into the mine cars, for they realize that dirty coal is a menace to their occupations as well as to the industry.

It would take a miracle to get 100 per cent perfect production of anthracite and Ithis the fuel administration is aware of and fully recognizes (without undue comment. Anthracite compares well in preparation with any other product of large consumption. SHOT DOWN. COPENHAGEN', dune 2.

Burger and Hayes the second. The meeting of the newly elected committee was called to order at 2.1)0 o'clock by tho retiring chairman, the Hon. J. D. Hicks.

In opening, Mr. Hicks sang the praises of the G. 0. portraying in his inimitable' style tho many accomplishments of the greatest party in the greatest nation the world has ever known, as he put it. Mr.

hicks only briefly, at this time, rcferreu to his oflieial leadership. ATTENDANCE LARGE. The roll call was then taken up. The majority of the committeemen were in their places. In a number of districts, where there were tie votes, no person answered and the new chairman will later draw lots or decide in some other manner, satisfactory to the parties concerned, who shall be the representative.

Mock, as a committee to find the new chairman and escort him into Uie court room, at Hollidaysburg, where the meeting was held. While the committee was hunting Sheriff Orr, Mr. "Someone has suggested that I sing my swan song.

1 don't sing, but presume this would be a good time to say a few words." Mr. Hicks then reviewed hi3 work as chairman for the past two years, speaking especially of the success that attended his efforts, along with those of the willing and hard working committeemen. He warned the committeemen against "Guerrilla warfare" as he.termed the efforts of outsiders to sret' place on the Republican ticket or disgruntled Republicans getting on the Democratic ticket. NEW CHAIRMAN ARRIVES. By this time, Mr.

Orr appeared on the scene. He was greeted witn nana ciap- pins and cheers -when he appeared. He heartily thanked the committeemen for the honor, declaring it was doubly pleasing to him, because it came onrjrely unsolicited. He said the voters of the countv had acted wisely in the selection of a committee; that a good ticket has been selected and that he wanted Uie hearty co operation of all. The enthusiasm with which these remarks were received indicated that he will get it.

Local Plumber, About to Take Boat Ride, Saw Unfortunate Man's Remains River Body of Child Still in River The body of Haydeii Myers, Fifth street who was drowned Juniata river, near Mill Creek of 000 in the Tburs- day afternoon, was found at 6 o'clock yesterday morning, a very snort uismme from where, he went down. However, tho body Harvey Heiler, of 120 Seventh avenue, who was drowned with Myers, bus not been recovered.

i S. V. dilly, a local man, who has been staying at Cottage along the rTvcr, went to the shore early yesterday morning to bail out a boat, previous to taking a short ride for his morning exercise, and as lie leaned over the side, he noticed something of targe size floating near Uio shore. It appeared as though one end was drugging on the bottom. A hurried investigation proved that it was tho body of Myers, and Mr.

Crtlly hurriedly pulled it from the stream and notified Dr. V. L. Schum, coroner of Huntingdon county. The remains were brought to this city last night, and turned over to Undertaker Otto G.

Gilden, and funeral services will be held at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, with burial being made in Rose Hill cemetery. The finding of the body has given the searchers a new impetus in the hunt for the remains of the Heiler boy, and the dragging of the river will be continued this morning. It was feared that both bodies had been washed a great distance down stream, because, of the swift undercurrent and the high 'condition of the stream. It is thought that perhaps the boy's body will be found near the place of the drowning.
