OF POOL ROOM STATUTE Parents of Lads Threaten Prose cution of Erring Proprietors, Is Local Rumor That flagrant violations of the stats law governing the admission of toys under the age of 18 years to pool and billiard establishments are occurring in the city and will be followed by prosecutions of proprietors was the rumor last night. A number of parents whose sons have absented themselves without cause from their homes until late at night conducted investigations personally, locating the prodigally Inclined and threatened the owners of the places with prosecutions, it was stated last evening. In a Seventh ward rendezvous for future professional cue champions from ten to sixteen lads whose ages range from 14 to 17 were counted, one evening last week and residents claim it would become authorities to conduct a general campaign against the violators.

For several days It has been" reported that a concentrated movement, against the infringement of the pool room law would begin in the near future. Nothing definite as to this could be learned last evening. One East Side proprietor declared yesterday that he had numerous complaints about boys under the age of 18 loafing about his establishment and of this number many were high school youths. He stated he found it difficult' at times to discriminate the boys who are not eligible under the law from those who are 18 years of age and older. This difficulty was due to the fact that the younger chaps strive to dress and cultivate the sang froid and easy manner of their elders, the proprietor explained.

He was making every effort to comply with the law, he said," and promptly ordered out any youngster who failed to look 18 years old. It Is claimed that while many of the boys admitted to the local establish ments do not play pool or engage in billiard contests, they loaf about and neglect school -work for the environment of the green baize tables. Whe ther they are permitted to play or not their presence in the pool palaces forms the basis of the objection and which is a direct violation of the state law. ki IS Retiring Manager of Altoona Gas, Light Fuel Company Presented With Gift As a fitting recognition of his services in this citv.

MINE EXAMINATIONS PROGRESS IN CITY Tenth Bituminous District Offi cials Conduct Tests for Office of Inspector The second grsde examination for the position of mine foreman, which was begun Tuesday in the rooms of the P. R.

R. Y. M. C. A.

was finished yesterday afternoon. It is expected that four of the applicants will remain to take the test for the position of mine foreman in the first grade. The personnel of the examining board of the Tenth bituminous district, composed of Blair county and a part of Cambria, is as follows: Joseph Williams, of 2324 Broad avenue, this city, state inspector; T. P. Mc-Farland, of Hollidaysburg, operator; F.

J. McGlaughlin, of Gallitzin, rep resenting the miners. In these examinations a higher value is placed on questions dealing with practical experience than on those requiring mathematical calcula tions. The examinations for fire boss which it is expected will be taken by four or five, will be given on Friday. The applicants who took the tests for the position of second grade mine foreman were: William J.

Regan, Son- man; George Cronauer, Sonman; G. A. Meek, Cresson; William Franey, Cassandra; Hubert Beck, Cassandra; Ira P. Bradley, Lilly; George V. Leon ard, Gallltzin; John B.

Reagon, Gal- lltzln; William Brown. Cresson; Hugh P. Connor, Ashevllle; Edward F. Lilly, Tunnel Hill; E. M.

Glancy, Gal lltzin; James J. Nedinger, Lilly; Thos. B. Allen, Ansbury; Dennis Keenan, Portage; John Ford, Cassandra and Albert Cook, Sonman. The manner of arranging for the examinations which may be of interest to the public- is as follows: At a joint meeting of the examining boards of the various districts, which is held at Pittsburg, a committee, composed of two mine inspectors, two miners and two operators is chosen from among the members of the boards.

This committee frames the questions for the examinations, the scope of which having been determined at a previous meeting. The tests are held on the same date in all districts, and the same set of questions is presented in all. The same committee which prepared the questions after the examination will return to Pittsburg and will frame the answers to them. Thus it would evidently be impossible for any of the applicants to have secured the answers' to the question before all the papers had been turned in. In about a week after the examinations the examining, boards of the various districts will meet and examine the papers.

When the answers have been made out by the committee of bIx, they are printed and sent out to the 'district boards, which will probably not receive them before a month has passed. The tonnage annually mined in the various bituminous districts of Pennsylvania is rapidly increasing, and approximately doubles itself every decade. Last year the Tenth district produced 3,600,000 tons. When Mr. Williams became Inspector in 1901, he made the eleventh one: now the number has increased to thirty, so rapidly has the production increased.

POOLS TO BE County Detective Spangler Plans to Eliminate Any Revival of Popular Pastime Baseball pools In Altoona will come under the ban this season as County Detective J. G. Spangler announced last evening that any revival of the popular pastime which has been so liberally patronized in former years will be promptly eliminated.

Yesterday the teams in the big leagues got under way in the pennant races and it was expected that the old custom of operating pools here would be revived as usual. Up until late last night the County detective and his deputy had not learned of any schemes to separate the baseball fan and his shekels and It is believed that no attempt, so far as can be determined, has been put forth in the direction of establishing a pool. Any information relative to the operators or patrons of "paper baseball," as the pastime is familiarly termed, will be welcomed by the county official as he is firmly resolved, with the district attorney, to stamp out tills form of lottery, in pursuance of the campaign launched recently. It is claimed by certain critics that the baseball pool has hastened the death of professional baseball in this city, as well as in Johnstown and other towns where the old Tri-State clubs once flourished. Fans deserted the real game to play the pools, it is stated, and their interest in the local contests fagged to such an extent that they cared solely, in latter years, only to "clean up" by the pool route.

CAR SHOP TO Pennsy Workers' New Musical Organization Promises to Be Big Innovation What promises to be one of the finest and best musical organizations established in Altoona is the Car Shop band of sixty odd pieces and which is now in progress of formation. Among the thousands of workers in the big plant where the Pennsy devises and creates its passenger equipment there are scores of talented musicians of every type. From these will be selected the best players and in turn the successful applicants will be drawn for the proposed band. With the Juniata Shop band, the Altoona Machine shop and the South Altoona shop musical organizations, and the Car Shop band, Altoona shopmen will be splendidly equipped for gala occasions, fete days and demonstrations. Preliminary organization work was started last week by car shop musicians and the new band will likely be established within a fortnight.

Equipment is the ultimate aim of the organizers and prospective members. General Office is the only athletic association which will not have a musical organization. It was explained that there are too few musicians among the office men and clerks and a band will not be considered at present. At Gable BEAUTIFUL FERNS AT 10c.
