Again the answer was "No," for a promise didn't make any difference. The boy grew bolder as the court failed to makeprogress and at last declared that he "was going to drink any way, saying, "Drink does me good. It builds me up." The court has more than one way of accomplishing an end. There was no evidence against young John that would warrant placing him in a house of detention or other place of custody, so the court merely looked at the question in another way: "If any saloonkeeper in the county sells this young man dTink I will revoke his license." John had just explained, in answer to a question that he didn't buy drink in any particular place, so the court made the edict, blanket like, to cover the county.

John promised, however, before the court continued the case for a week, for developments, that he would try to work, if he could pet any one to employ him, and said he thought that if he got work he might get along without the tanglefoot.

Deputy Surveyor of the Port Richard Parr today declared that he was offered a $300,000 bribe to discontinue the investigation into the alleged smuggling of Mrs. Helen I). Jenkins' jewels.

He said the offer was made by a private detective agency manager called into the Case by the accused. There is only one link lacking in the chain of evidence which the government is weaving over the Wisconsin millionaires and Tennessee capital, ists in the smuggling case. The government is now bending every effort to learn how the gems were smuggled at the customs office and the correct answer to the charges of the accused that a customs agent tried to blackmail them. The cases of smuggling are now in the hands of the district attorney, who will proceed in the cases. He says that "Mrs.

Jenkins" will be the chief witness for the prosecution. HUGHESTOWN LADY Miss Maud Tlschler, aged 19 daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Tlschler, of Hughestown, passed away this afternoon at 3 o'clock, at the family home on Hock street. The circumstances surrounding the death of this well known young woman are extremely sad.

Miss Tlschler was a young woman of gifted talent. She wa3 a native of Hughestown and had spent her entire life there, where she was known and loved by every resident of the community. She finished the public school course in Hughes town, in the class of 1909, and in the following year became a student at the Kast Stroudsbtirg Normal school, with the intention of fitting herself for the work of a teacher. She made rapid progress with her studies and finished the course with honor. She would have participated in the commencement exercises on the 21st Inst, but three weeks ago, while at the Normal School, she was stricken with illness.

She had been subject to rheumatism and the disease got such a firm hold on her system that tt affected her heart. She was ill at the Normal School for three weeks, when her condition became so serious that on Friday last she was brought to her home, in Hughestown. Since that time she gradually weakened until the end came this afternoon. The announcement of the death of a young woinan who was so popular and highly esteemed, was a great shock to the residents of Hughistown, and the stricken family have the sincere sympathy of many sorrowing friends in ttuir sore bereavement. Miss Tischler was very popular with her young associates, over whom a shadow has been cast by her untimely death.

Her intellectual gifts' made her a leader in the circles in whi 'h she moved and there were prospects of a bright future for her. Recently she had been elected a teacher in the Hughestown schools, and looked forward to years of service in the schools in which she had gained her early education. Besides her parents, she is survived by one sister and two brothers, Ithoda, Claude and tlurvld. She was a member of St Peter's Lutheran Sunday School. 'ar vv, UN CASES Marked efficiency in field movements was displayed by the Ninth Regiment in Saturday's "war gams" at Ashley, in which the regiment divided into two sections, the "White" and the "Blue" armies manoeuvred in a spectacular and sensational sham battle.

Col. A. L. Miner acted as chief umpire and wag assisted by his entire staff. Major Harvey commanded the "Blue" army and Major Cox the "White" forces.

The "Blue" army was composed ot Companies and and represented a retreating army hard" pressed by the "White" forces, marching, supposedly, from Pittston and composed. of Companies and M. The "Whites" moved out of Wilkesharre and marched South, while the "Blues" took up their position on the Dundee road, beyond Ashley, where the forces met and sharp firing with, blank cartridges resulted. There wu much opportunity for strategic increment and some excellent work by communication through messages. Following the "cease firing" order, the two hostile armies joined forces and marched to the country club, whera they received radons and had evening rill.

The day was an ideal one. In the decision the government finds? "That the several locations, filings and entries were made pursuant to an understanding and agreement en tered into by all the claimants prior to location, to combine the several claims for the joint use and benefit of all the claimants: "That each location, filing and entry was made with the unlawful purpose and intent that the titles acquired thereunder should innrire to the use and benefit of an associa tlon or a corporation formed or to be formed by the several claimants; and "That no mine of coal was opened or improved on any of the several tracts located and entered." It Is found that the claims of Charles Sweeney and W. W. Baker, members of the Cunningham eroun, were defective so that thev would have been invalidated regardless of tne decision artecting the group gen erally. Pichot Makes Statement.
