The cases are set for triul before the term of the circuit court beginning next Monday and, in anticipation of the sensational trials, hundreds of persons from the adjoining counties have come to Hayward, eager to listen to the interesting esttlmony and to await the outcome of the cases which have attracted more than ordinary attention throughout the country.

"What is that.," shouted Johnson, starting towards Focht. Focht repeated what lie said. Many mem bers of the Mouse intervened, and the incident was closed with Johnson's comment of seeing Focht later. A roll call adopted the Focht motion saving his bill. "We will see about that later.'' said Mr. Focht. "What I want now is fair play from the genleman from Kentucky." Mr. Johnson objected heatedly, saying he intended to kill the bill. The District Committee of the House reported the bill favorably and it passed the Senate, Mr. Focht taking charge of it in the' House. After he had passed the bill he learned that Mr. Johnson intended to move a reconsideration of the vote in order to kill the measure. (Jetting ahead of Mr. Johnson the Pennsylvania member moved a reconsideration of the vote by which the bill passed and that this motion be tabled. The effect of the motion was to prevent Mr. Johnson from killing the bill. Mr. Focht has passed through the House earlier in the day a bill providing lor the opening and extension of Van Buren Street in the city of Washington. WASHINGTON, I). March \ A near personal encounter between Representatives Focht, of Pennsylvania, and Hen Johnson. of Kentucky, enlivened proceedings in the House and brought many members to their feet in apprehension. With Mr. Johnson's promise to Mr Focht to "see you later," the trouble blew over and Mr. Focht gained his point. Missionaries who are distributing relief tell of many tragic occurrences —a man (lying on the road; another falling by the wayside as he was returning to his family with a packet of rice. They describe the people as horrible skeletons, some of them with limbs hideously swollen. It is estimated that 2,000,000 people are without food and are existing on roots, grasses or anything that affords the slightest possibility of nourishment. Those possessing grain guard it night and day. Local llc'p and soldiers, in former epidemics left the people to die; now they do not care or do not know how to maintain adequate sanitary measures.It 1b the num •suited fri uel Cor' •MiKiiKec.

At the time he exhibited a letter from his company Instructing him to work the small towns such as Punxsutawney, starting in the outskirts, so that is he were stopped he would have the greater part of the town covered. The letter further stated that they could do nothing with him except make him pay a license. Later he was seen in company with two men whom he had hired, paslng the pills from house to house and was Immediately taken into custody. At a hearing before Burgess Fretls he was fined $ 15 and costs, amounting In all to $17.75. An agent of the company which manufactures Hewitt's Little I,Ivor Pills, haH found to Ills sorrow that such an ordinance exists in Punxsutnwne.v and that It is not a dead letter. i The young man "primarily applied to Burgess Fretur for a license. He was infqrmejpfliat licenses for the distribution of such things could not be granted owing to the fact, that it was directly prohibited by ordinance. There is an ordinance in Punxsutawney borough prohibiting tlie distribution of pills, candy, etc., in fact you can't distribute anything except bills, and then you have lo get a permit and put# tile bill or folder under the door so that it will not blow about the directs. The prohibitory measure is 4 goon one and was adopted mainly because children are apt to get hold of Jifrticles passed around I11 this manner and might do themselves Irreparable injury.

I did not try to hurt him. 1 did not strike him while we were in the cloBet. I tried to get that pipe away from him to keep him from smoking in the barn. I don't think he was hurt. He did not bleed any. I did not hit him at all, nor he did not strike at me. There was quite a fuss. 1 was trying to get the pipe away from him. and he was trying to keep me from setting it. Mr. Edgar Smith testified: I wanted Pat O'Ncil to go out and work, and he refused to go. Mr. Reltz had told me that if Pat O'Neil came back here, to make him work. And at the time of the trouble referred to about the pipe I had been cutting cornfodder down at the barn. Clyde Oak«, one of the employes, told me that Pat had been smoking in the barn, amongst the hay and straw. r went back to where Pat was that morning, and told Pat that I understood he had been smoking In the barn. He denied It. 1 told him to give me his pipe until dinner time, and then he could take a smoke. And he said he had no pipe. I had seen hini stick his pipe In his pocket Just before 1 came up to him. I told him, "Yes, Pat, you have been smoking in Che barn, and you have got a pipe, and I want it." He denied both. 1 reached in his pocket, where I had seen him put the pipe, and he commenced to fight and struggle. And 1 Anally got the pipe away from him. I did not use any more force tnan was necessary, and I did not try to hurt him in an way; but we had a pretty lively little scuffle. Pat is inclined to be disobedient. He does not want to work. He is very headstrong, and addicted to strong drin. Pat O'Neil testified that he ha 1 been smoking a pipe in the barn, it disobedience of orders of Mr. Smir., and that on the 4th of January Mr. Smith asked him for his pipe; that he refused to give up his pipe; and that Mr. Smith took the pipe from him, which he was right in doing. "He forced me to give him the pipe, but he did not strike me." Pat O'Neil Cross-examination—When I pushed Henry Schoch when he was at the dining room door I don't think tic took more than a step until ho tell. He was pretty drunk. and mean. He haB a sharp tonmiij In his head, and knows how to use it. Aside from his tongue and his disposition to use it and his appetite* for strong drink, I have not any fault to find with him. My wife told me that when I was away he would come home under the Influence of liquor and bother around the kitchen a id dining room where the girls were. My hewlfe said she had to tell him to gn out, and he would not go out. That he stood and argued the matter with her until she took hint by the arm and led him out. That was his disposition with me. He always wanted to argue the case. One time he was standing at the dining room door talking to one of the inmate girls, and 1 wanted him to move on down the hall and not stand there and talk to that girl. And he refused to do so. I told hiim he must, und while I was talking I walked towards him. And he was intoxicated that time, inclined to be disobedient and quarrelsome, anil wanted to argue the matter. I told him I not time >;> argue the matter with him now, but he must go on out, of there. And he refused to do so. and said he hnil a right to stay >.iero. I put my hanri on his shoulder and said. "Henry, you must go on." And I gave him a little bit of a push. He was that drunk he fell down on the floor. I gathered him up then and took him back and put him through the g-ite. I did not throw him 10 on.12 feet. Afternoon Session, t:.'10 Kiciiing Si'ssion, 7:il« Music; Arc we not burdened by too much law? If so, what Is tile remedy?

(fly 1'nited Press, t LONDON, March 4.—A Jewish massacre Is reported to be in progress at Kieff, Russia, equalling in barbarity the famous Kishinev massacre. The details are lacking. owing to strict censorship. "The joys which come to towns so unwise as to permit the Important task of furnishing water to citizens to fall into the hands of private corporations are Just now being experienced in a marked degree by our sister city of Punxsutawney, the citizens of which town have but recently been advised of a twenty-five per cent raise in water rates. And the simple raising of the rates is not the worst thing which the citizens are called upon to endure, as the Punxsutawney Water company and the l,indsey Water company, the organizations owned by eastern capital which have the town by the neck, are now spreading broadcast, thrrough the columns of the Punxsutawney papers, what are called "Talks on Punxsutawney Water." These talks, evidently prepared by some gentleman connected with the companies mentioned, are designed to convince the citizens of the town that the companies, rather than being greedy cormorants feeding upon the life of the city, are in reality whole-souled philanthropists, whose chief aim In existence Is to make Punxsutawney a brighter, happier, and more heavenly place to abide; that the raise in rates Is inspired by the most altruistic desire to benefit alnd uplift the city, and, in fact, that the citizen who complains about the raise in rates Is a knocker, inspired by selfish desire for gain, and not a true patriot. These talks are beautiful examples of "salve" spread on so thickly that the citizen who reads is apt to think that he is residing in the only town on earth; that he really ought to dig up more money to help the kind, loving, philanthropic and patriotic water companies and other public service corporations to keep the place in heavenly condition; and that, perhaps, he ought voluntarily to add a few dollars to his bill every quarter, just to express his appreciation of the water company's unexampled spirit of joyous optimism and faith In the town." Brookville is having its troubles as well as Punxsutawney. The citizens of that place have been saying mean things about the water company for several years and that Thomas Hendricks, editor of the Brookville Republican, is not out of practice, is evident from the following:County Seal Smear Can Be Seen as Far Off as flie BUTLER, Pa. March 4.—Ono thousand independent oil proputiers in the Butler county high grade oil field met in the Majestic theatre last night to advance the movement to refine their own oil, which is being led by the High Grade Oil Refining company, the $10,000,000 corporation about to erect a large refinery at Queen3 Junction, this county. The producers represented a production of 40,- 000 barrels a month and enough of them have signed contracts with the company to Insure a supply of 30,000 abrrels a month, or more than Is needed to launch the refinery.
