SAYS MISSION IS TO SSTISfY THE STATIIT1S OF STATE OF OHIO AUSTRIA'S DECREE IS RECEIVED International Stnlit, WASHINGTON, Fe'b. 14.—Threats of a ship boycott by Great Britain and her allies should this government rule that armed mcrchantuient shall be denied clearance from American ports, caused no concern at the State Department today. Their attention was confidently called lo the trade report, which disclosed that so l'ar as British and French lJlers are concerned—and they the chief freighters of the Asiatic—tho manifests filed at all of entry show that the Roods raided are such as are absolutely necesjsry for tho iielMgerents. The itrjflsh Is looked upon as very ifuch iff a bluff, and will not figure ■» yf!'. llnal decision on the subject. Austria's formal decree to treat all armed merchantment as war vessels after March 1, and sink them without warning, was received at the I .State Department today. Anibaswa-I dor Penfield forwarded it from Ylen-| na. The decree is shorter than the j one issued by Germany, but it is j substantially the same. MM BEAD tflll in r!

L Is believed that he is in the mine ltd that the total death list will be \t, but thero is a possibility that tho ian in question did not enter the line tho day of tho explosion.

In these circumstances the compensation allotted by the act Is payable directly and Its payments begins immediately to the dependents of the men who lost their lives and to those who were Injured as a result of the explosion. "Now is the time to do sompthjng for Punxsutawney that will materially boost it, and keep it growing." This is the concensus of opinion expressed by most of those who were fortunate enough to hear Charles H. Ketclium, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, of Washington, Pa„ tell what they are doing, and how they are <lolng it, in his town—and doing it successfully. After the meeting which Mr. Ketchum addressed, a committee was appointed to investigate wayE and means for putting the Washing ton plan to work In Punxsutawney. and this committee will be ready to report tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock, when a special meeting has been called, to be held in the Municipal Hall. This meeting is not a private one, and every citizen of the town, whether a merchant, banker, doctor, lawyer, dentist, minister, clerk or laborer, man or woman, who is interested in the town's advancement is urged to be present tomorrow. The members and ofllcers of the Chamber of Commerce, are particularly urged to attend the meeting tomorrow morning, as the success of the plan contemplated involves a consolidation of the Association with the Chamber of Commerce, and a reorganization of the working plans of "both, so theTmaximum efficiency may be obtained from available funds and the ofllcers of the combined organizations.N<pv manufacturing plants are springing up all over the country.

It is true that the election iu that Ward in 1913 was. irregular and would have been scft aside us to the Councilmen if n contest had been made. It is llkewlsb true however, that the CoUncUmefi then elected were chosen by niajiritiea of the voters of the Fifth Ward; that they received Certificates from the proper election officers; that they presented these credentials to Council at the Organization Meeting on the first Monday of January? 1914, und that they were sworn altered upon the duties of their office, were recognized legal me rubers during the existence of the Cowncil of 1914, and discharged their duties &a such without objection. They wore therefore not usurpers but Councllmen de facto. "An officer de facto is one who performs the duties of, an office with apparent right, and under claim and color of an appointment, but without being actually qualified in law so to act." Bouvier'a New Dictionary, Vol, 1, page 427. In Baird vs. The Bank of Washington, 11 S. & R., 411. the acts of a Director illegally elected were held binding and valid. See opinion of Justice Gibson on page 413. A moment's common sense reflection will dispose of the suggestion that the Acts of Messrs. Donahue and Blose were legal prior to the quo warranto proceedings but since then aro of doubtful validity. The inception of Impetration of a writ settles nothing. It is the Judgement of ♦he Court that determines. The Franchise of a Corporation, the position of an officer do facto, and the likfi are terminated not by the institution of a writ of quo wa'rranto, but by the judgement of ouster thereon. Were it otherwise and if anything short of :i judgement could settle controversies, divest vested rights, deprive persons of privelige and no forth, pending litigations would stultify private enterprise, and clog the wheels of public business to stagnation, l-itlgious dispositionwould be inflamed to fever he«t and Membership Contest is Getting Warmer Daily "If a roan was married, liis widow is to receive 00 per eenl of what liis average weekly wage had been, tills to continue 300 weeks.

Grube, of Bell township, died Sunday morning at 11 o'clock of organic heart trouble, aged 65 years, one month and sevep days. Ilis death removes one of the sturdiest, most respected.farmers of the county, a ittau who counted every acquaintance 1 and whose name is a sjwonyrodnor honor and uprightness iS tl^rcommunity in which he in 1851 near Bells Mills, this county, he was the oldest son of the late Henry and Elizabeth Grube. He passed his entire life in Brady township, Clearfield* county, and Bell township in Jefferson county. He was widely known both as a farmer and a lumberman. He never let an opportunity go by to do some one a kindness; and in his dealings with his fellows, as in all else, lie was square and above board. The Grim Reaper's hand could not have fallen upon one whose death would have been more sincerely or generally mourned, in this section. He survived by his wife and the following sons and daughters: Walter F. and H. Meade, of Winslow; Edward O., and Glenn, of Bridgeport, Nebraska; Mrs. Harry McGee, of Cloe; Mrs. Frank McFarland, of Rossi ter. The following brothers and sisters also survive him; Samuel R., D.

However, there are more than 50 children left fatherless by reason of this disaster and the cost to the company by reason of tills will be no less than *60,000. The court ruling on the license question has been generaly understood to mean that all places selling liquor under the Brooks Law in Jefferson county would close their bars on Tuesday, February 15. This is not the case however, the Brooks High License law of 18S7 and 1891 provides that the license is valid for one year from the date set by the court and thus, if a man is granted license on February 16. 1915, he is entitled to sell liquor for one year from that date, which would bring it to the end of February 16, 1 93 6, or until ..the hour of closing on that date ruled by the court.

The First Methodist Church was j completely filled with a crowd of en- ( thusiastic worshippers last night, in the union evangelistic meeting, which was one of the live weeks' campaign now in progress. In addition fco this throng the pastors of the churches sitting together on the platform and all working together in perfect harmony, a choir of 50 voices, an orchestra of bIx pieces, with C. J. Lynn leading, left nothing to be desired foi a really great meeting. Tho song "Saved, Saved," was sung by the choir, with Miss Ginadei . as soloist, and Mr. Lynn and .M1b6 Adams sang "The 'Name of Jesus" as an offertory. The song service was a real inspiration to all present. Prayer was offered by Rev. Burtt, Rev, Ginader and Rev. Weber, and the scriptures wero read by Rev. Madtes. Rev. C. A. Clark was the pieachei of the eveuing. He took for his te.\( the 10th verso of the 10Sd Psalm; "He hath not dealt with us according to our sins nor rewarded us according to our iniquity." Dr. Clark said that this was the Psalm of thanksgiving. A brief synopsis of his sermon follows: "The reason of the thanksgiving was that God had not dealt with him according to his desserts. He had committed great sins and deserved the wrath and punishment of God, but God had been gracious and forgave him and restored him to His favor In answer to his prayer of penentence. God turned aside from His regular course, which would have been destruction according to his oftrepeated law, 'Whosoever soweth tc the flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption.' "The wages of sin is Is death.' 'The soul that sinneth It shall die.' " Dr. Clark showed how executed these, laws again and again, as in the cases of Esau, Jacob, David and Judas Iscarlot, "But God loveB men, and He has arranged to muke exceptions to these laws in the case of those <who will takeadvantage of the arrangement. While the psalmist was worthy of punishment, yet 'because of his sincere repentence and God turned aside the penalty and forgave him freely. "We all need the grace of God exercised for the forglvenness of our sins. The cross of Christ is not merely the most touching Btory of all literature, it is not merely the sutolimest deed of all history, it t» God's massage of mercy to the -world.
