J. G. Smith. STOVERD ALE CORNROAST A merry party of young folks spent the week end at "Ivory Cottage," Stoverdale. Among the diversions was DEWTIFY ii HATCHET FIEND" BY SNEAKERS Steelton Police Now Confident They Have Man Who At tacked Seven Women A web of circumstantial evidence woven around E.

N. Haines by the Steelton police to day leaves little doubt, the authorities declare, that 1 Haines is the mysterious "hatchet fiend" who brutally assaulted seven Steelton women with an axe and ter rorized the whole borough for months. Haines is now in the Harrisburg Hospital, stralghtjacketed and under strict surveillance. He was arrested last Friday by Patrolman Booser, of tht Philadelphia and Reading police, I who was compelled to shoot the negro in the right leg to prevent his escape, i Late yesterday afternoon Chief of Police H. P.

Longnaker and Constable John Gibb brought Albina Kozjan, I the 12 year old'daughter of Mrs. Bar 1 bara Kozjan, of 13 Cumbler's Row, to the hospital. She immediately identified Haines as the negro whom she had seen spring from her bed room window the night of July 9 after robbing the house. On this same night the homes of Marko Mavretic, 800 South Second street, and Mathias Starasinic, 74 South Second street, were robbed. A short time after Haines was seen by the Kozjan girl a strange negro was seen near the scene of the robberies by Patrolman James Pearson, a col ored officer, who reported the stranger's presence to Chief Longnaker.

This negro's description tallies with the description of Haines. The "Sneaker" Tracks The chain of evidence against Haines is strengthened by the fact that at each of the places where women were assaulted by the "hatchet fiend" prints of a peculiarly marked rubber soled shoe, or "sneaker," were found. Haines, according to the Kozjan girl, wore such shoes. When Chief of Police Longnaker visited Haines at the hospital yester day the negro admitted that he had frequently been in Steelton. He de clared, however, that his home is in Harrisburg.

His name is not listed in any directory. The Steelton police did not make any effort to question Haines further on account of his mental condition. It is necessary to keep him stralghtjacketed all the time and it is probable that he will later be com mltted to an asylum. Detective on Trail of Candidate For Constable Detective I. N.

Durnbaugh, armed with a warrant, to day is seeking Au gustls Donatela. Augustus, by the way, is conducting a whirlwind campaign for the nomination for the high constableship.

Not only the dystuff situation but every phase of the chemical Industry will be taken up by the agents of the Department of Commerce sent here by Secretary Redfleld to investigate conditions in those trades caused by the war. Dr. Thomas H. Norton, the chief investigator who began work here to day, said: "We are anxious to see how we can utilize the coal industry, in which we are now wasting products worth $100,000,000. "Germany utilizes every ounce of coal by products but only 16 per cent, of our coke furnaces are equipped for reclaiming coal tar products.

Only a few are actually recovering benzol, naphtha cline and carbolic acid, which are the bases of most of the coal tar products. Unfortunately benzol and carbolic acid are used largely in explosives, with the result that these products are mostly taken up by the ammunition factories. "The potash problem is large. We import annually from Germany $15, 000,000 worth of potash, while off the coast there are supplies of kelp which are believed to have a value of $160, 000,000 now going to waste. We have at our door enough potash to meet the demands of the world and to sup ply me neeas or our crops, tobacco, grain and other produce, in the wav of fertilizer.

We have always been dependent on Germany for potash. "Photographic chemicals are now vanishing. "We don't want to get caueht in such a plight again and the Department of Commerce wants to stimulate American development so we can supply our own demands and then branch out into the world's trade in chemicals. "After this investigation is concluded," said Dr. Norton, "we will be in a position to determine what can be done to relieve immediate necessities, although I am firmly of the belief that a strong domestic dyestuff industry can be built up eventually." Asking Clemency in Last Hanging Sentence Application has been made to the State Board of Pardons for commutation of the death sentence of James Reilly, Philadelphia, sentenced to be hanged for the murder fhls wife In 1912.

The crime was committed prior to the election act being passed and a sentence of death by hanging had to be passed. Reilly became a fugitive after the murder but returned and surrendered, being convicted. He has a family of small boys and for their sake and because he says he was drunk when he shot he asks commutation. A Real Flesh Builder For Thin People WHO WOULD INCREASE WEIGHT Thin men and women who would like to increase their weight with 10 er lt pounds of healthy "stay there" fat should try eating a little Sargol with their meals for a while and note results. Here is a good test worth trying.

First weigh yourself and measure yourself. Then take Sargol one tablet with every meal for two weeks. Then weigh and measure again. It isn't a question of how you look or feel or what your friends say and think. The scales and tape measure will tell their own story.

Many people, having followed these simple directions, report weight increases of from five to eight pounds with continued gains under further treatment Sargol does not. of itself make fat but mixing with your food its purpose is to help the digestive organs turn the fats, sugars and starches of what you have eaten, into rich, ripe, fat producing nourishment for the tissues and blood prepare it in an easily assimilated form which the blood can readily accept A great deal of this nourishment now passes from thin people's bodies as waste. Sargol is designed to stop the waste and make the fat producing contents of the very same meals you are eating now develop pounds and pounds of healthy flesh between your sKin ana Dones. sargol is noninjuri ous, pleasant, efficient and Inexpensive. George A.

Gorgas and other leading druggists are authorized to sell it in large boxes forty tablets to a packageon a guarantee of weight increase or money back as found in every package. Advertisement.
