LODGED IN LOCAL LOCKUP In the evening Dr. Sparks spoke in the First Presbyterian church on "God's Providence and the Nation.'' He pointed ont the Intervention of (Soil's providence In the settlement of the American continent, that Immigration came from the east where the difficulties for the early settler to overcome were only a small percentage of what they would have been had Immigration started from the west. The flow of mankind westward with unchanging climatic conditions, Instead of to the north and south was dwelt upon by the speaker. For an hour he exhausted every phase of his subject and it was a sigh of regret that the large congregation heard his concluding remarks. First Presbyterian Church Speaker in Central V. M. C. A. and Dr. Edwin E. Sparks, president of State college, addressed a large audience of men yesterday afternoon in the Central Y. M. C. A., taking for his subject, "A Call to Duty." Drawing upon American hf.itory for a multitude of illustrations Incident to his text, he painted word pictures that held his audience in breathless attention. He drove home his points with a force and eloquence that greatly impressed lii.s hearers. k FAREWELL NIIT on last Friday evening. Miss Kdytlie Smith was the charmln ghostess.

Mr. Richings will present his lecture and pictures on Wednesday night at the Central Presbyterian Church, to which the public is invited.Mr. Riching's clean and c omprehensive review of the negro question, aptly illustrated by pictures, brought out convincingly the fundamental points of his argument presented the race question in an altogether different light than that possessed by many of his hearers. Two questions that are the most prominent in the consideration of the colored race - why educate and train the negro and how shall it be done? Mr. Richings answered in detail and not too radical, and all were pleased with his instructive method of handling the subject. One point made by Mr. Uichings was the fact that the negroes are leaving the south by the thousands and coining to towns and cities of the north, and "we dare not let them grow up in ignorance, as we would In that way allow them to become a menace to our civilization." He said we should lose sight of our prejudice to make them cultured and useful citizens. <». I-', Kidiing* I'ri'sftH•> New ,-iinl hi- tcrcsllllg IMltlse ill' <■ l'i-:[I (4>ui's. linn. U. F. Richings, of I'rbana. Ohio, gave an Illustrated lecture Sunday night in the First Methodist Kpiscopal Church to a large audience. The real intent cf Mr. Richiug's lecture is to create an Interest in the Curry Normal and Industrial School, located at I'rbana, Ohio. The school fulfills the purpose of educating the young negro along tlit1 same lines i> ■■ laid down by the I'nlverslty of Tusltegee and is incorporated under the laws of Ohio. Some of the leading white men of Ohio are behind this movement for the benefit of the colored race. \\ hen the robbery was  Chief of Police Palmer was called and a careful search of the premises made, but without result.

Kach, the dead man, was :12 years of age and Is survived by his wife and three small children. He bore an excellent reputation, and Is said to have been steady going and never quarrelsome, it Is believed by some that his shooting was entirely accidental, for the reason that he had actetd as a peace-maker during th • brawl. Taniga, the man who lies wounded in the Adrian hospital here. Is but 21 years of age, and it Is believed that he was the man Martin wanted to kill. Martin, who is only nineteen years of age, but looks to be twenty-five, seems to believe that he was Justified in his act. He says tuat he was attacked by several and that he ha;i been previously informed that Taniga and Kach had said that they would get him, that he would never get home alive that night. That information, he said, came through a Smyerstown youth. When the fignt started he thought that it was the means to his end and he started shooting before, as he put it "they got him." he was under the influence of liquor and deliberately broken his leg. Investigation proved that he had been pushed from a porch in a brawl and had sustained a fracture o? the leg at the ankle. At the coroner's inquest held yesterday afternoon at Rossiter, it was found that the bullet which ended Kach's life had entered the left nostril and made its way upward into the brain, producing instant death. Martin was taken to Indiana yesterday afternoon by Trooper Grier, and when the prisoner left the lockup here he was beginning to showthat he realized the enormity of his crime. Previous to that time he showed no emotion whatsoever, and except for the talking he did shortly after his arrest, maintained stoutly that he could not speak English and refused to talk. It is stated by some that a feud had long existed between Martin and Taniga, both of whom are Slavish and mere youths. Martin had exldently been drinking, but was not intoxicated when he reached Punxsutawney Saturday night. EASTER POST CARDS FREE Baroncelli today declared he would not retract as the comment was not directed at the editor of tl\e Bee. District Attorney Adams and Police Inspector Reynolds quickly made it useless for Baroncelli to accept the challenge. Capdivilie forthwith demanded a retraction and challenged Baroncelli to a duel. Editor Capdivilie or the Bee, in his Issue yesterday called attention to what he said was a stinging insult on the part of the editor of the Wasp. The offending article in the Wasp was regarded as reflecting on the quality of French decorating the pages of the Bee. NEW ORLEANS, March 27.— There will be no "combat with arms" between the respective editors of the "Daily Bee" and the "Weekly Wasp" unless the French journalists, Armand Capdivilie and M. de Baroncelli, retire to fair France where duels are encouraged. The New Orleans police have re-clamped the lid on duels. JA.MKS DAVIS Squire James Davis, of Smithport, died at his home on Thursday, March -i!, after a short illness, at the age of 53 years. For many years he was a blacksmith and merchant at thai place, and he had a wide acquaintance with the people of that vicinity. His wife, two sons and three daughters survive. The funeral was held Sunday afternoon, interment being made in the Fry graveyard. MONTHLY REPORT SNYDER SCHOOL, NUMBER TWO P. H. S.

In the development of hts subject. Dr. Hays pointed out that lif«* cannot be all play, although most of the drugery can eb taken from labor by one's attitude toward his tasks. Dr. Hays gave several ways of failling in love with one's work, and give as an essential requirement that tlie work must be well done, must be done in the most painstaking way, if that labor is to bring real enjoyment. Contentment with one's work, and the choice retreat ions to contract with the work were al-»> given as means to the enjoyment of labor.

At the lockup last night he admitted that the gun found near the scene of the crime was his, and calmly stated that lie had killed one man and "made another sick."

He is survived by one sister, Laura B. Ilubeck, a teacher in the local schools and one half brother, Robert Perry, of this place. At the age of nine years he entered Girard college, at Philadelphia, ajid there remained until he was 11! yea)< of age. He returned to Punxsutawney and entered the high school, working during his spare time in the White photographic studio. In his junior year he left school and found steady employment in the While studio. In 1907 he completed his course in photography l4* a school al Mc- Mlnnville, Tenn., and returning to Punxsutawney worked for a short time In the Institution where he had served his apprenticeship. lie was later placed in charge of a studio belonging to E. T. White at Saule Ste Mario, Canada, and in June, 1910, purchased the establishment of which he had been manager. In September the stale of his health compelled him to abandon active work and he entered a sauitoriimi at (Jravenhurst, Canada, lie left that institution in February of this year and returned to Punxsutawney. Five week ago he became bedfast and although it was believed he had but a short time to live, his strength apparently remained with him and on Saturday he was able to sit up. Yesterday morning at 5 o'clock he awoke and ten minutes later lapsed into unconsciousness, death coming a little over an hour later. For three years the deceased had been ailing with a throat trouble, and although it was that disease that sapped his vitality, death was directly due to heart failure. Horn March 2, 1SN8, the son of Albert H. and Ella Bubeck, deceased: ills father died but a few years after his birth. He then made his home with Ills grandfather, the late Kobert J. Crissman, and following the death of Ills grandparent, with his aunts, the daughters of Robert J. Crissman. passed from mouth to mouth. He had lived In Punxsuetwney almost his entire life and was known to all; his aim ever seemed to be the making of friends and that he succeeded is evidenced by the general air ot mourning that today clouds the face of practically every young person in town. He lived the golden rule, treated others as he himself would have been treated and as a consequence every acquaintance was his fast friend. Ambitions, studious, industrious, he had no bad habits and had death spared him, would doubtless have made his mark In this world. -Iff y A.

March 27.—The better undertone noticed in these advices during the past two weeks is making slow but certain progress. Notwithstanding the dullness in business there is a distinctly more cheerful tone in financial circles. The main influence contributing to this change is the abundance of cheap money. In all parts of the world there is a plethora of idle, funds at low rates, and this is] especially true in the I'nited States. To a limited extent this is a result of continued large gold production; but it is mainly due to the Inactivity of business and speculation, which causes funds to accumulate, and to decline in commodities, enabling a given sum to go further. The greatest accumulation of Idle money is at New York because interior banks force their surplus upon the New York correspondents in the hope that the latter may be able to find employment even at low rates, At the moment there is a good deal of nearby money in New York, which is not likely to be required for the next three or four months. Europe owes us large sums on account of security purchases and in payment for our exports, and under present conditions it pays better to allow these sums to remain abroad as loans. hater on in the year when tHe interior begins to withdraw its funds from this center then, if not sooner, we may expect gold imports upon a liberal scale. This week currency shipments to the interior have been of a more liberal scale, owing to preparations for April settlements, Continued on rage Two. Continued on Page Three. daughter of Mr. and Srs.
