IN JAIL HERE, MURDER CHARGE

DAN HARTNETT FACES CHARGE OF HAVING KILLED BRAKEMAN EARL HUGHES. Dan Hartnett was arrested in Frankfort Friday -by Special- "Constable Harvey Moore, of this city, and brought here and lodged in the county jail where he will answer to a charge of having murdered brakeman Earl Hughes near McCoysburg on the 24th of last October. * His arrest came as a result of an affidavit filed by Mrs. Edith Hughes, wife of the dead m)an, with Justice S. C. Irwin. At an inquest held in November it was decided that Hughes was the victim of foul plajL and since that time Mrs. Hughes, with her attorneys, have 'been investigating the iase in an effort to gather evidence which will show that her husband was murdered and did not come to his death through accident. It will be remembered that Hartnett Was the switchman who rode frt>m Shelby to Monon in the caboose of the freight train on which Hughes was a ibrakeman, and that statements made at that time indicated that thqre had been an altercation a short time before >the disappearance of Hughes from the train and that Hughes, who was said to have been intoxicated, objected to permitting Hartnett to ride in the caboose; that he had characterized Hartnett as a ‘‘'Snake” and that after having upset the work table of the conducter, Fred Ball, and scattered his papers ion the floor of the caboose, Hughes was slapped and shaken up by the conducter,.and that shortly after this occurred he went to the rear platform of the caboose and was not seen again until his mangled remains were found between the rails the following morning, between McCoysiburg and Monon. When arraigned Friday, Hartnett stuck to the story he has told on several occasions since the death of Hughes, which is to the effect that neither he nor Ball saw Hughes after he staggered out of the back door of the caboose, and in a thick Irish brogue he indignantly protested against the efforts of the railroad detectives to induce him to give “manufactured and medicated” evidence to indicate that Ball “deliberately and 'deliciously” (pushed Hughes off the train. (Hartnett was remanded to jail until the preliminary hearing which will be held next Tuesday, It is understood that Hartnett is a switchman by trade, but that at the time of his arrert he was not employed by anyone and was making his home in Frankfort.

WOODY WANTS $5,000,000; STILL WANTING.

Washington, D. €., March 20.. — (Special.)—The mystery at the capitol over what President Wilson proposed to do with the $5,000,000 appropriation he requested of congress just before it adjourned deepened itioday when reports gained circulationrthatheintendedrto buy a palacein Paris. t . Congress failed to grant the requested appropriation partly because of the legislative congestion which developed in the closing hours of the session and partly because even Mr. Wilson's most trusted supporters balked on what they considered “unwarranted extravagance.” Members of the house appropriations committee stated they had not been able to get any detailed illumination on the appropriation. All the information they had was contained in a letter from Acting Secretary of State Polk stating President Wilson wanted the money for the peace mission.

IN LOVING MEMORY OF OUR MARIE.

See beyond the Golden 'Portals Basking in the glorious rays Of eternal joy and sunshine, Our Marie dear, meets our gaze. She’s now feasting at the .table Of her Savior and her God; This, because she gave Him shelter Whilst upon the earth she trod. Now she laves at coolfng fountains There beneath the silvery spray, Now in flowery meadows rambles Where white virgin lilies sway. Again we see her all __ At her blessed Savior’s feet Where with Mary and St. Joseph He does now pur Marie greet. But will this her joy last ever, Or be transient as the dew Which now sparkles in the sunshine, But soon disappears from view? No, her morn has now no evening, Her sweet transports no alloy ; For in heaven sorrow ceases; There is pure and endless joy. —Loving and sympathizing Friends.

AT INDIANAPOLIS UPON THE RETURN OF MEMBERS OF FAMOUS RAINBOW UNIT. Indianapolis, March 21.—The plan making the home coming of the 150th Field Artillery, Rainbow division, a gala day in Indianapolis, was decided upon yesterday at a meeting called by Gov. Goodrich and attended by representatives of four Indiana cities. Every county in the state is to be represented on a general committee to prepare for the event. Inasmuch as the 150th will not leave France until April 19, it is not probable that the celebration can be held before the middle of May. All Indiana soldiers who have returned from overseas are expected to participate. Gov. Goodrich appointed Harry B. Smith, adjutant general of Indiana to serve as the director of the affair and delegated him to name a representatives from each county to serve on a general committee to prepare* for the festivities. Indianapolis was represented at the meeting yesterday by Mayor Jewett and Samuel Miller, a member of draft board No. 5. Other representatives included General Smith, W. W. Weaver, mayor of Bloomington; E. A. Crane and Edgar H. Kilbourne, of Fort Wayne, and Henry H. Vinton, judge of the superior court at Lafayette. Telegrams wore drafted at the meeting and forwarded to senators New and Watson and to Secretary of War Baker, requesting that the 150th be mustered out of service at Fort Benjamin Harrison instead of at Camp Sherman, Ohio.

The opposition in nearly ell instances, is against the proposed convervant, not against the idea. SOUTH—OnIy twelve papers are Stated as in positive opposition, while 347 have declared themselves favorable to the league. In instances where figures are not stated, the correspondents report that from 75 to 95 per cent of the papers favor the league. MUDDLE WEST—While the papers in this section favorr the league idea, there is considerable outspoken opposition to the draft of the covenant and a demand for amendment and modification. However, many Republican papers, as well as nearly all the Democratic papers, favors the league. NORTH—(In this section, composed of State along the Canadian border between the Great Lakes and the Rockies, the interest in the question is not as great as elsewhere, but a majority of the papers have declared themselves in favor of the league. WEST—In many of the Western State editorial opinion appears to have divided on strictly party lines, the Republican papers, however, carefully insisting .that they appose the covenant as it. is and not the idea of a League of Nations.—New York World.

E. P. iHonan drove to the postoffice this morning on his 'bicycle, a chicken, of the feathered tribe, dangling from the handle bars of his steed.

DEATH CLAIMS MARS HEALY

Their beautiful daughter, Marie, soon to have oeen sixteen years of age, was called in answer to the summons which called her to join her two sisters, who had preceded her to that happy realm where suffering and sorrow are unknown. Marie had been a sufferer for more than a year. During the holidays she had an attack of the influenza and from that time she failed very rapidly. The end came this Saturday morning soon after two o’clock. Her pleasant manner and happy disposition had endeared her to all who knew her. She was a decided favorite not only with those of her age but with all. Throughout her lonb sickness she was ever mindful of those about her and was anxious that father, mother, brothers and others should not worry. Besides her father and mother*Marie is survived by three brothers, Alonzo, Paul and John. Paul is now in the service of the 11. S. Navy. Funeral services will be held Monday at 9:00 a. m. and interment will be in Mt. Calvary cemetery.

POINTS ON MONROE DOCTRINE.

In framing the Monroe doctrine, did President Monroe have the assistance of congress? Did he have assistance? The doctrine, as announced ‘by President Monroe in his message to congress in 1823, was a simple statement of the attitude of this country toward the South American republics. Henry Clay had made an eort to have the independence of these republics recognized, and in 1822 their independence was acknowledge by congress. President Monroe had recalled John Quincy Adamis from the court of St. James to become his secretary of state, and many historians credit Adams with the authorship of the message/ in which the doctrine was stated as follows: “As a principle, the American continents, by the free and independent position which they have assumed and maintained, are henceforth not to ;be considered as subjects for future colonizationby any European power.” This was undoubtedly the sentiment of the congress to which the doctrine was announced. (2) Were any American soldiers lost when an American boa* was sunk by a mine near England a month or six weeks ago?—No. (3) Did any United States soldier go from France to Russia, but only a few were sent from France.
