STORY OF ATTACK ON OltlL AT OATH IS PROVEN FALSE
Taxi Driver Fined Five Dollars
for Disorderly Condact
and Barring Traffic
There was considerable excitement In Bath on Friday evening, when a foreigner, who had been driving be¬ tween Bath and Portland, reported to Chief of Police Isaiah Troxell, of Bath, that there was something wrong along the road, where he had seen a man and woman sitting, the woman apparently unconscious and bleeding. Troxell went to the scene and arrested the man, while the woman was placed in another auto¬ mobile and taken to Bath, where she was attended by Dr. Thomas Schwab.
It was thought at first that the man had assaulted the woman, but this was later disproved when the woman, regained consciousness and told her story, which completely exonerated the man, who gave his name as C. L. Cole, a taxi driver, of Allentown. The woman did not give her name and' was entered on the docket of Justice of the Peace Seem as "Flor¬ ence Doe."
The story as told by the couple was to the effect that Cole called lor the women at the Nazareth Fair grounds, to take her to her home at Allen- town and when near Bath, she be¬ came ill, her nose bleeding profusely, some of it getting on Cole's clothing. ¦When she became very ill, he helped her out of the machine, and sat along the road with her.
Then the arrest followed. It was reported that both were more or less Intoxicated, but this was not proven, ard the only thing that the justice could hold the man on was a charge Of obstructing traffic and disorderly conduct, and he imposed a fine of $5 and costs.
The physician who attended the woman said that there was nothing wrong with her and that she was not Injured in any way thus disposing the story of an attack.

Gold, a mem¬ ber of the board, presided, and he in¬ troduced the principal speaker of the evening, W. D. Lewis, of Harrisburg, state deputy superintendent of educ¬ ation in charge of high schools, who emphasized the rapid growth of the high schools throughout the state, stating that they had grown in the lust 30 years, seven hundred and ten percent as compared with a popula¬ tion increase of sixty-eight percent. He made a plea for tar sighted action en the part of the citizens in behalf of the children in the high school. Slides were shown on a screen show¬ ing the crowded condition of the high school especially, emphasizing the great need for a new building. A plan of the    proposed building    was    also
thrown on    the screen.    Mr.    Lewis' speech was well received.
The next speaker of the evening was U. C. Weyland, the architect for the new building. He stated that the building would be of plain design, but very substantial with ample provision for future growth. Numerous ques¬ tions were asked by people in the audience, which the architect answ¬ ered.
Herbert F. Laub, the school board solicitor, gave a short talk on the kgal aspect of the bond issue, by means of which the cost of the new builtffng will be spread over a period of 30 years. The final speaker of the evening was Howard E. Shimer, chairman of the publicity committee, who spoke on the question of a site emphasizing the fact that the board is Hauling to receive suggestions and that it does not intend to purchase a large site tor athletic purposes, but will buy a site large enough to leave ample room for expansion.
Sunday was the time set apart by the pastor ot the Reformed congre¬ gation at Altonah to celebrate the annual Harvest Home Festival. This is always a most delightful occasion for both the pastor and the congre¬ gation. These services were given over to the proper celebration of this joyful and happy event. The church was elaborately decorated tor the occasion with the first fruits of the garden, orchard and field. The com¬ mittee in charge of the work had everything very artistically and invit¬ ingly arranged that none could help but feel that the Lord had again dealt graciously and bountifully with his people during another year.
Pastor Ehret in a very interesting and impressive manner spoke on the ttxt; Acts, 14th Chapter and part of the 17th verse. In addition to the inspiring sermon the choir rendered a very beautiful and appropriate anthem, making the morning service one that will linger long in tlie minds ot those who were privileged to be present.

BOOZE RAID DISCLO.SES THEFT
Through a raid on an Illicit still near Easton, a $500 robbery of inner tubes and spark plugs from the Kuhn's garage, Wernersville, was cleared up. The raid, which resulted in the arrest ot Glnlio Cotichello, aged 28, of Easton, alleged proprietor of the still and Joseph Cirelli, aged 24, of Bethlehem, disclosed some of the loot from the Kuhn's robbery on the premises.
Cotichello, when questioned as to where he got the goods, told the offi¬ cers that Cirelli had brought the stuff there. Cirelli was under sus- pcion. Detective O'Donnell brought the men to Easton from Bethlehem and on warrents issued by Alderman McFadden, committed the accused to jail. The Federal authorities will t'lke charge ot Cotichelli. It is likely that the Federal warrants will take precedence in the case and Cotichelli will have to be surrendered into the custody of prohibition enforcement authorities.
Cirelli, it is alleged, is the burglar V ho pulled off the Kuhn's job. The warrant issued by the local authori¬ ties was only for larceny and receiv¬ ing. The warrant against Cirelli is tor breaking and entering-
