SECOND SECTION COMMITTEE OF HUNDIREID 66 DRY UP" CLINTON BAPH II 11 11 CONTROVERSY ON GLASS SELECTION DIVULGES PLANS Activities of "Inside" Work Remain Secret, Committee Members Say Wis Haven. Aus. 6. Secrecy re Kardingr the personnel of the Committee of One Hundred of Clinton County, which has been active locally in securing evidence of violations ajrainst the dry amendment and which filed A protest with At Jorney General Sargent that figured in the controversy between Senator Pepper and Governor Plnchot over the reappointment of John H.

Glass ns Vnited States marshal for this district, is the policy which the or jranization intends to pursue, according to those whose names have been identified with it as officers and leaders. It was not until the protest against Glass was formally filed that Clinton countians became definitely aware of the heads of the organization. The Rev. J. F.

Miller, pastor of the Baptist Church of this city, who acknowledges that he is president of the committee, declares that the organization has determined to keep its plans, movements and membership completely to itself. The Rev. Mr. Miller's name was signed to the protest made to the attorney general, according to the statement given out by Senator Pepper, as was that of the Rev. Harry F.

Rector, pastor of the Church of Christ of. this city, as secretary. The membership of the organization, it is understood, is not confined to a hundred, but that number has been selectetd to give an idea of its size. Those who belong' have been recommended by churches and by the membership committee, the latter being composed of about twenty five members of the organization. Origin of Committee The group has been in existence since last winter, and sprang, into being following the vacancy created by the death of Associate Judge I.

H. T. Shearer. Prior to that time the two minor judges had. differed upon the question of relieving Sher Iff Manna of costs placed upon him on a number of cases 'which the grand jury had ignored, or in which the jury in the cases tried had placed the costs upon Hanna and others interested with him in the prosecution.

Judge Rich wanted the costs placed upon, the county, whereas Judge Shearer dissented from that action. In the ensuing deadlock nothing was done to change the original placing of the costs. It was therefore desired by Judge Rich and a number of other interested that the right kind of a side judge be recommended to Governor; Pinchot to fill the vacancy created by the death of Mr. Shearer. The (situation was canvassed at a meeting, and after a number of embryo candidates were thrown into the discard as not being likely to be nominated, or at least be elected in the fall, Charles Dunn was finally agreed upon to carry the endorsed recommendation of the.

Committee of One Hundred. In due course of time Mr. Dunn's appointment was made by the Governor. From this beginning, it is considered by many that the committee is one that is serving as the cat's paw, so to speak, of Judge Rich's effort to control local politics. The members of the committee say not, pointing out the sincere efforts made in the past by Judge Rich's brother, M.

B. Rich, to do away with the so called liquor traffic, both in the latter's individual capacity and while he was a member of the State Legislature. Activities Not Divulged Ever since its existence, the committee's activities have not been officially divulged. Regular meetings have not been held, but gatherings of the "hundred" have been called from time to time at the, order of the president or the executive committee, whose membership likewise has not been revealed. The president and secretary refuse to divulge any names of the committee.

However, those who have been linked up as most active in the work Jnclude Judge C. H. Rich, M. B.vRich, Sheriff Roy M. Hanna, W.

T. Griffith, Judge Charles Dunn, T. N. Stover and H. A.

Mul liner. Shortly after the protest filed by the committee against the reappointment of Marshal Glass, which was the first publicly acknowledge.1 act of the organization, Marshal Glass visited Lock Haven and interviewed several of its members, including the Rev. Mr. Miller. The purpose of his visit was not revealed.

Action taken In the name of the Committee of One Hundred requires the approval of the members, it is understood. The Rev. Mr. Miller says that it is not hard to get them together. When interviewed on the subject, the Rev.

Mr. 'Rector said that he was not acquainted with the membership of the group, but his signature represented half and that of the Rey.Mr. Miller the other half. He said that "maybe" the group would continue protest against Marshal Glass, and that he was ignorant of the machinery of the "Committee's" organization. Continues Brewery Injunction Lebanon, Aug.

His natal day was Easter Sunday, 1854, and instead of it being an occasion for the display of spring raiment, the villagers were compelled to shovel a foot of snow from their premises, the while they exchanged comments that a stubborn youngster was born during the storm of the night at the Coxey home. It was a lowly place indeed, among the most humble in the town was that one story log house close by Penn's Creek, where Coxey was born. The dwelling Is now the home Home Sweet Home By H.J.

Nevertheless, it is an object of interest to hosts of tourists along the Susquehanna Trail, who may stop at the filling station on the adjoining lot and make Inquiry as to the town. He Missed the Trail By a strange coincidence it was the late realization of one of the cries of Coxey's army that for "good roads," that brought the "Colonel" back to town for the first time in forty five years. Coxey had motored up the Sus quehanna Trail Friday from Balti more. He and his party were so captivated by that ribbon of concrete north from Harrisburg that they noticed not the. rather inconspicuous sign at Liverpool indicating departure to the west over the William Penn Highway, and thus, as hundreds of other tourists have done this season, they sped on delightfully twenty miles to Selinsgrove before they realized "the er ror of their way." No doubt that turn to the Juniata Valley will be better marked some time, but Selinsgrovers were glad the Coxeys missed the road this time.

We are to day delivering to the city, water from No. 2 dam, through the repaired and cleaned 20 inch main, sufficient water for normal use at normal pressure. I am not in favor of spending money on No.

3 dam unless a storage capacity sufficiently large can be provided to warrant the expense of building a new breast," "This would be the time to construct the dam in the fourth ravine as suggested by former City Engineer Crowell a number of years ago. We take this means of publicly thanking all those who gave unsparingly of their time and patience in overcoming a serious handicap to the city." City Engineer William S. Davis, then submitted his report to council. He said in part: "I wish to take occasion to commend the help and interest shown by our City Treasurer, Harry Louser, who in my opinion has been the one man above all other so called laymen to be ever ready to give a helping hand.

R. Fox, assisted by the district engineer, C. Brown Mark. Engineering features for the repairs have the approval of George S. Beal, division engineer of the Department of Forests and Waters of Pennsylvania." Both Sir.

PROWLING BEAR IS STIRRING COLONY Eagles Mere Cottagers Annoyed by Nightly Visits of Bruin Who Boldly Raids Refrigerators Suabury, Aug.

6. The cottage of Mr. and Mrs. George H. Neff, of this city, at Eagles Mere, was visited by a bear several days ago.

Bruin boldly raided the refrigerator and stole a big watermelon, which was to grace the Sunday dinner table. He went to the lawn, sat down on his broke It open and proceeded to devour it. He sat there even after a search light was thrown on him, munching the fruit with evident relish. Near the further end of the line, 100 yards distant, was the cottage of a man named Miller, who had a gruesome tale to tell his neighbors. He was sleeping when suddenly he was awakened by hearing a heavy, yet stealthy tread on the porch outside.

Quietly he arose and went to the window in which there was a screen. He pressed his nose on the wire and it encountered a large warm nose on the other side. He had heard of the bears and was so frightened he could neither speak nor move his nose. How long he stood in petrified silence, with his nose pressed against that of the unknown creature on the other side he did not know. Finally the creature emitted a horrible roar and fled from the porch.

The next day the bear was captured In a trap EVOLUTIONIST HAS HAND IN Gettysburg, Aug. 6. In the evolutionary theory of the origin and development of man and all other animal life, God has had a hand, Dr. William Kepner, native of Gettysburg, member of the faculty of the University of Virginia, and called as one of the scientific witnesses in the recent Scopes trial at Dayton, declared in an address at a meeting of the Gettysburg Lions Club at the Eagle Hotel. Doctor Kepner is an evolutionist, because he believes" that the origin of all animal life, including man, was in the siingle cell, but, he sees the mysterious workings of a.

Divine Providence in the whole great scheme of change, or evolution, as it Is called. He that a misunderstanding between the fundamentalists and the evolutionists was the basis of the Dayton trial. where he was summoned as an expert witness by the defense. Dayton, according to. Doctor Kepner, is a progressive, tolerant and deeply religious town, but because his time was limited, he was unable to go into great detail about the trial which made the little Tennessee mountain town famous.

"Whether you are fundamentalists or evolutionists," he continued, "as educated men I want you to give good and sufficient reasons for your convictions." Everything is on the go, changing, never the and that, according to the speaker, is evolution. Sometimes, he added, the change is for the better, or times for the reverse. Quotes Scripture Doctor Kepner quoted passages of Scripture frequently to illustrate his stand as an evolutionist, and a be DOG GETS BLAME FOR OWNING LIQUOR Shickshinny, Aug. 6, "Those bottles of booze bejong to the dog." That is the unique explanation given by Jacob Kreps, when arraigned before Justice of the Peace Curwood here on charges of operating an automobile while under the influence of liquor. In the car with the man at the time of the arrest was a pet dog and three bottles of alleged moonshine.

The liquor was confiscated and the above explanation was given at the. arraignment. The man was released with the payment of a fine, of 1 13.50, and the excuse was evidently accepted by the justice. The manv spent, the night in jail when arrested, and he pleaded so strongly that the dog remain with him that the request was granted. The liquor was not returned to the dog.

prepared by a State forester and will be added to the Wllliamsport zoo. All festivities at Eagles Mere were forgotten when three bears were caught. A gentleman whose shoes had crepe rubber soles ran over the wet grass when suddenly. the bear said "Woof" and the gentleman's feet went out from under him, and he sat down with considerable damage to his flannel trousers. A very stout colored woman was also headed toward the bear when another frightful roar with a vast display of undergarments, to the great entertainment of the crowd.

The first bear captured was sent to the State forest preserve near The third will be kept at Eagles Mere until the summer season ends. The third is added to the black bear colony at Williams port's zoo. It weighs between 200 and 300 pounds. More bears have been seen in the vicinity of Eagles Mere this year than In any previous season. They started in by raiding refrigerators at cottages in Eagles Mere Park.

Posses laid in wait at night and shot at them, but the bears were not discouraged by lead. At last the district forester built a regulation bear pen, in which three have been captured. DECLARES GOD ORIGIN OF MAN liever in the single cell origin of life. Scriptural support for the evolu tionistic theory was quoted by the speaker in the passage, "I have come into the world that you may have life, and that more abundantly," illustrating, he said, that life is always becoming more complex, more complicated, always changing. One of the high spots of the speaker's talk was his assertion that "Out of a fish life embryo, God has made man," pointing out certain organs in the throat of man which closely resemble those of fish.

"God takes man and makes him different," continued Doctor Kepner, "but the mystery of what composed the human body is still undetermined. We do not know whether it; is mass or energy." Illustrating has point that God makes man different, the speaker called attention to certain race of Eskimos which have but thirteen ribs and two backbones. Warns Against Materialism Doctor Kepner warned against the danger of evolutionists becoming materialists, by which process they lose their finer sensibilities, and dwarf their personalities. "Man is the only self conscious being," asserted the speaker. "He Is the only animal that nows that he knows a thing, and I like to feel that back of all the change and evolution that has been going on in this world that there Is something that makes us know that we To Dedicate Bell lewistown, Aug.
