and an organization was eff« ted by
electing John I'imli, president, Qeorge
i.iii a secretary and Richard ll. Bate,
treasurer.
Plans as to a program for the cele-bration
were discuss.! and ii was the
sentiment of the delegates that a
short s'rert parade should be held in
the morning followed by a patriotic
meeting in the evening there will
be a firework; display. The after-noon
is usually given over to athletic
sports and nothing wus suggested for
the program, the delegates believing
it better to let this feature rest until
more of the organizations are repre-d
when the athletic feature will
be taken up.
The next meeting will be held in
the borough hall Sunday afternoon at
L'.:h> o'clock, April 80, when it is de-sired
that every organization in town
will be repi-e ented.
It wis suggested at the meeting
that no large committee be appointed
except the finance committee as it is
believed small committees will handle
the work with less friction.
The members of the Post were
greatlj pleased with the response to
their cail and the patriotic spirit
shown by the delegates from the or-ganizations
represented. It is expect-ed
that every local organization will
be represented at the next meeting.

it would delay the work planned
by the Pavement committee

FAMES! HOME
While Family Was at Church,
Home of Jos. A. Ruth Was
Robbed
ALICE R. McKENZIE
SIMILAR TO OTHER THEFTS
Another early Sunday evening rob-
In rj OC urred last Sunday night at
the borne of Joseph A. Ruth, Eleventh
avenue and Fayette street and the
thief secured from *« to $10 in money
and a number of pieces of jewelry.
The rebbery was committed in the
same manner as were several rol>-
berics committed here several weeks
ago.
Entrance was gained to the house
through an unlocked window in the
laundry In the rear of the house. The
thief placed a barrel at the window
and mounting it got into the house.
The robbery bap] ened between 7.80
and 9.80 o'clock while the family
were at church.
The thief made a thorough inspec-tion
of the rooms on the first floor
and secured some money from a draw-er
in the buffet in the dining room-
He then went to the bed rooms, on
the second floor, drew the window
shades and made an Inspection of all
the bureau drawers. From a dre
table, he secured Mrs. Ruth's gold
watch, marked with the initials, "h.
B, R.," a otuneo pin, given her by her
deceased mother, a child's necklace,
marked, '1911, E. A. R." several rings
and pins
The articles in the drawers were
not disturbed except in one instance
where the thief ransacked the draw-er
and was rewarded by finding a
child's dime savings bank containing
about $2.
'I le robbery was discovered when
Mr. and Mrs. Routh returned home.
They saw some one had been in the
house and they immediately made an
Investigation. The police were noti-fied
and given a description of the
articles stolen.
The robbery was committed in the
same manner as were those at the
home of John R. Wood, where little
booty was secured as the thief was
frightened away and at the home of
John Pugh, where jewelry' valued at
si 1i r.U hundred dollars was stolen.
Wife of Well Known Physician Died
Yesterday Morning.
Alice R., wife of Dr. William Mc-
Kenzie, died early yesterday morning
at her home, 808 layette street of

health for several yean but was not
confined to her home. In January she
suffered an attack of grippe but to-covered

recovering her health and on Mon-day
of lasi week celebrated her 68th
birthday anniversary and spent the

much better and thoroughly enjoyed
the day and the visits of friends.
Tuesday, she did not leave her bed
but her condition was not serious.
Later* in the week her condition be-came
worse and she did not respond
to treatment. The end came peace-fully.

married to Dr. McKenzie, at Kaston,
Pa. In 1871. They came to this bor-ough
where the Doctor was practis-ing

removed to this borough to the new
house which they built on Fayette
street and have since occupied.

of the Presbyterian church and
had many friends in both the Consho-hookens.

a daughter, Mies Maud, who was de-voted
to her mother and her constant
companion.

A LETTER FROM
JUDGE BONNIWELL
LEE T. & R. PLANT RESUMES
Tire Makers Returned to Work.—No
Change in Rolling Mills Situa-tion.
The tire makers at the Lee Tire &
Rubber Company returned to work
this morning after losing a week's
work when they demanded 5 cents pi r
tire advance In wages. The demands
Wt re not granted and work was re-sumed
under the same conditions as
existed heretofore.
There is no change in the abor sit-uation
at the Iron and steel rolling
mills, A committee of the workmen
held a meeting yesterday morning but
nothing was done to affect the situa-tion
In any way.
To The Recorder:
In your Issue of yesterday, April
11th, there appeared the following in
your editorial column: ,
"Judge Bonnlwell, of Philadel-phia,
in a speech for pre-paredness
said: "Our only real
marksmen are in the Wild West
shows. The Judge should be in-vited
to attend the annual trophy
shoot of the North End Gun
Club."
Permit me to advise you that I
made no such statement in my ad-dress
before the Columbia Avenue
Business Men's Association. The
Philadelphia Public Ledger, however,
in its account of my speech, quoted
my remarks -so inaccurately, making
use of the statement that you now
publish, that, in justice to myself, a
correction was made in their issue of
April 6th, which reads as follows:
"Praise Marksmanship of United
States Army. "Wrong Construction
Placed Upon Words of Judge Bonnl-well,
it Is Said.
"Joseph Marcus, the committee
c'.erk of Common Council, de-clares
that a wrong construction
was placed upon the remarks
made by Judge Bonniwell at the
meeting of the Columbia Avenue
Business Men's Association, in
which the Judge spoke of the
marksman.'hip of the United
States soldier.
"Mr. Marcus says that Judge
Konniwell praised the marksman-ship
of the regular army while he
called attention to the personnel
of the armies that fought the Re-volutionary
war and the Wa.r of
IS 12. In these legions, Judge Bon-niwell
said, there were many who
had the advantage of Bkilled
marksmanship because of their
vocations as trappers, hunters and
frontiersmen. Since that time, he
said, even the cowboyi has disap-peared
except from Wild West
shows and very few sections of
the West."
In view of the serious Inaccuracy
of your statement, I feel compelled
to ask you to please rectify the mis-quotation
in your next Issue, and ob-lige,
Very truly yours,
EUGENE ". BONNIWELL

What's the use of cooking when you

East Hector'street.—Adv.
The condemned, unsafe and antiq-uated
bridge, spanning the Schuylklll
river at this point since the year 1872,
and which until a few years ago, when
Hie heavy automobile truck supplant-ed
the horse and wagon as a means
of transporting heavy loads between
points of which the bridge is the con-necting
link, served all the purposes
that such a structure should, is about
to pass into oblivion and in its stead
a new and modern bridge is to be
erected.
The County Commqissioners had the
bridge inspected last week by an ex-pert
engineer and his finding showed
such a serious state of dilapidation as
to startle the county authorities into
immediate action and they at once
stationed special officers on each end
of the bridge with strict orders to be
rigidly enforced.
The men who have been appoint-ed
as watchers are Miles Stemple,
Councilman from the First Ward and
Chief of the Washington Fire I !om-pany
and Matthew Redmand, of this
borough and Howard Pennington and
Morton Cassey of West Conshohocken.
Two have been appointed for day duty
and the other two for night duty.
One remains at each end of the struc-ture.
The watchmen went on duty/ on
Saturday morning and since that time
the regulations on the traffic have
been carried out to the letter and will
be until the structure is made safe.
No two automobile's arp allowed on
the same span at one time and no ve-hicle,
heavier than a two-ton truck
will be allowed the use of the bridge
at all. This ruling is extremely hard
on many of the users of the bridge.
The Adam Scheldt Brewing Company
have discontinued running their heavy
truck between the two boroughs and
local expressmen have been engaged
to haul their products Into the West
Borough. The big trucks of the An-dorra
Nurseries from Chestnut Hill
and those from the Main Une Nurser-ies
have been denied the use of the
bridge and they are now compelled to
go to Norristown to cross or else use
lighter vehicles. Two of the Chestnut
Hill trucks came through the borough
enroute to the Mine Line yesterday,
but Miles Stemple would not allow
them to go across the bridge and after
waiting for half an hour they were
compelled to suffer the Inconvenience
of going to Norristown to get on the
West Side. The same Is true of the
heavy oil autos which have been run
daily across the bridge and the in-convenience
suffered is causing no end
of uncouth remarks in behalf of the
parties who have been in authority
and who have so long ignored the
pleadings from the lower end of the
•county lor a new bridge and who have
proclaimed the structure safe and a
new structure unnecessary and an ex-travagance.
It is a common occurence for teams
and automobiles to be held up at
either end of the bridge and wait for
a heavy team to get across.
Many owners of light automobiles
have been in the habit of using the
bridge as a speedway, but all are re-ceiving
the same warning "Go Slow"
and a failure to obey this warning
will mean an arrest and fine.
That the County Commissioners are
greatly perturbed over the condition
of the bridge is evidenced by the fact
that they have visited the scene near-ly
every day since the true condition
has beer, learned. On Sunday both
Messrs. JIatl'ield and Sullivan came to
this borough and personally1 watched
the travel, and again insisted on a
strict enforcement of the regulations.
Persons employed in the mills along
the banks of the river near the bridge
say that whenever a heavy vehicle
passes over It that the floor raises
and lowers In a wavelike motion.
It Is expected that the present tra{-
fic restrictions will be enforced for
at least three months, or until the
bridge is strengthened so as to per-mit
of the former traffic.
Recorder:
Sine.- assuming Hie responsibility
of locally organizing a department, or
hand. In connection with the work
which has been started by the women
of Philadelphia and vicinity, for Na-tional
Preparedness, I have been re-quested
to give an outline of the du«
ties entailed upon a iiietnlior. either ac-tive
or non-active, and what is dona
with the dues collected for member-ship.
Hues in order: 160, sustaining;
$1 annual and $10 contributing. The
proceeds of the dues outlined above
are used for organization purposes;
any balance remaining is deposited tor
emergencies. Needless to say none of
us i, I.Hiking for nor anticipating
war or a si.He calamity, sura as lluiiil
or earthquake, but should our country
be afflicted with either or both of these
catastrophic* it is necessary thai the
women should be prepared to do their
work. Just at present the duties of
members are few but those who Join
should be willing to give their time
and what monetary support they can
when the call comes, if ever it should.
I am endeavoring to organize Depart-ment
No. 3, covering surgical supplies.
The band will consist of women who
will be willing to give amateur aid in
collecting and preparing surgical sup-plies.
At present we want to enlist
the SerVlOSS Of enthusiastic American
women and their cooperation in the
great work. I suppose t have all the
enthusiasm of the convert, knowing
full well the havoc and disaster caus-ed
by war befalling upon unprepared
countries; having returned from my
Fatherland which is in eo deplorable
a condition from the effects of wnr
that were I to depict to my kind read-ers
some of the afllctions I saw there
would not be a heart that would not
beat with all true loyalty and love for
the land of your birth or adoption, in
fear that the same poverty, starvation
and calamities envelop their country,
and would respond valiantly to the
call to prepare for what some day
may be Inevitable but which we all
sincerely hope may be avoided.
. I shall be pleased to see tiny on©
personally who wishes to join', and
give them printed matter on the sub-ject,
or tuke their enrollment for any
other band, or should they HO prefer,
they may go direct to the Weidner
liuilding. Chestnut street, Philadelphia,
being the headquarters, and there en-roll.
I ask the women of Conshohocken
to help. What our need first and
foremost are ten enthusiastic helpers
who will take upon themselves to se-cure
nine members each, thereby
forming a unit over which the promo-;
ter of the band will preside when we
can acclaim we are a league of 100
members. What interesting hours of
congenial work lie before us, and I
feel assured a Bonne Camaraderie will
b< established, and that our mutual
hue for our glorious country will form
a bond of friendship In the interest of
humanity which shall make us all
work as one.

PLANT BEING ENLARGED
Good news received by ii mployees
of the Diamond State Fibre Company
at their plant in West Conshohocken,
when a notice was posted yesterday to
the effect thai .< general advance oi
five per cent in wages had been grant-ed
also an addtional 3 per cent on the
wages paid as a bonus, this to be p.'lid
quarterly. The Increase was wholly
voluntary on the part of the company
and came as a pleasant surprise tfl
the men employed at the plant.
The plain is and has been for some
time past working to its fullest ca-pacity
and the company Is still un-alile
to handle their great volume of
business in a satisfactory mnaner.
In order to overcome thll state of
affaire and expedite the time in deliv-e
ring their orders the company have
decided to enlarge their plant, by in-stalling
additional machinery. The
work of making alterations to the
building preparatory to setting up the
new machinery is already under way.
The roof of the main building is be-ing
raised to a pitch and excavations
are being made between the building
and the Gulf creek for the foundation
walls of a new super-calendar machine
which is to lie installed. A new en-gine
will also be Installed, as tho
present one, which is one of the larg-est
in this section of the S'ate, is In-adequate
to drive the additional ma-chinery.
li is said that the improvements and
additional machinery will incur an
expenditure of $100,000.

Merion Residents Tell Court County
Taxes Are Sufficient to Maintain
Pike.
Testimony on behalf of the peti-tioners
for the condemnation of the!
five miles of Philadelphia, Jiala and
Ilryn Mawr turnpike, better known as
Montgomery avenue in Lower Mer-lon,
was concluded yesterday before.
Master 1. P. Knipe and a jury of six

was no necessity for a toll road as the
county taxes were sufficient tax to
maintain the pike and that as Lower
Merlon paid one-third of the county
UU the road should be freed, regard-less
of whether It was used by the
whole county.
