Mercereau, Lockhart Building. Large Distilling- Apparatus Uncovered By Sheriff in Raid Upon Ridgebury Tup. Farm Three Stills, 11 Barrels of Mash, Large Capacity Casks and Alleged Rye and Corn Whiskey Se cured Stephen and William Bazarnick Held in County Jail in Default of $1,000 Bail Hearing Before Bonfoey. Three large stills, eleven barrels of mash, twelve casks with a total capacity of 560 gallons partly filled with what is alleged to be corn and r'ye moonshine whiskey, and considerable other paraphernalia used in the distillation of alcoholic spirits, were uncovered yesterday afternoon, when Sheriff Drake raided the home of Stephen Bazarnick at Ridgebury Township, As a result of the raid, Bazarnick and his son, William, are in the Bradford County jail at Towanda, held in default of $1,000 bail fixed when the men were taken before Justice of the Peace Bonfoey. Four gallons of the alleged liquor were seized by the Sheriff as evidence.
The title to the farm where the arrests were made is in Fred Quick's name, a resident of bury township, but was being purchased on a contract by Teckla Bazarnick, wife of Stephen and the mother of William Bazarnick. She had failed to make payments on the real estate and personal property as she had agreed and yesterday legal papers were issued for the purpose of making a levy in her interest. Before going to the farm, however, the sheriff had been informed that the parties living there were suspected of being engaged in the illegal distillation of alcoholic liquors. Sheriff Drake was accompanied by W. W.
Slater, a rural mail carrier of Towanda. Acting on the tip, they started for the farm, which is located on top of the hill about five miles west of Wilawana. They drove the car as far as the farm of Harry Crandall where the snow drifts stopped them, and they then borrowed a team and bob sleds and drove through the snow to the place. Noticed Alcoholic Fumes When several hundred feet from the house, the fumes of alcohol were plainly discernible. They found the house locked.
Stephen Bazarnick was alone on the farm, but he refused to permit them to enter the house. He said his sons and his wife were in and he had no key, and protested vigorously when they intimated that they might break down the door. By telephone the sheriff communicated with District Attorney Schrier, who advised that a complaint be made and warrant issued before he attempted to use force, so Mr. Slater was sent to Sayre, while the sheriff remained on guard to prevent the removal of any of the booze or distilling implements that he suspected were concealed in the house. It was about 2 LEHIGH TO INSTALL SAFETY DEVICES AT ITHACA CROSSINGS The Lehigh Valley Railroad Company will place safety devices at crossings in the western section of the city of Ithaca, according to permission granted last night by the City Board of Public Works, subject to the approval of the Common Council and the Public Service Commission.
This action is taken as the result of a recent hearing before a Public Service Commissioner, at which considearble agitation was aroused following the killing of a high school student at a city crossing. Several crossings in the Inlet Section of Ithaca are now without gates or other protective and the location of these will obviate a very potent menace to public safety. The Board of Public Works has been informed that the Lehigh Valley proposed to install gates at the State and Buffalo streets crossings of the main line and possibly electric warning signs, the whole estimated to cost about $16,000, which will be the amount requested for construction and installation work. Some measure to eliminate the danger at the Seneca street crossing will also be taken. FRIENDS FETE LOCAL COUPLE AT PARTY ON SILVER ANNIVERSARY Relatives and friends of Mr.
and Mrs. H. D. Horton of 510 West Lockhart street, tendered them a surprise party at their home last evening, the occasion being their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary. Games were received and refreshments served.
Mr. and Mrs. Horton received many gifts of silver and cut glass. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs.
L. C. Williams and Mrs. Ralph Williams of Towanda; Missles Sarah and Louise Blair of Waverly and Mr. and Mrs.
Francis Drake, Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Eagley and sons, Mrs.
Thomas Hollingshead and Mrs. William head, Mrs. Herbert Lacey and Miss Louise Horton of Sayre. GET MARRIAGE LICENSE A marriage license was issued yesterday at Towanda to Morton Levy Amidon and Eva Mae Watson, both of Sayre. OVERHEATED FLUE SETS FLOOR AFIRE o'clock in the afternoon when they reached the place and it was dark by the time that Slater was back with the warrant issued by Justice Bonfoey at Sayre.
Theodore Palmer, motor officer for Sayre borough, accompanied Slater. Three Sons Arrive While Slater was after the warrant the three sons of Bazarnick drove up to the farm in an automobile. They had come from Elmira. The sheriff kept them at the place until the warrant was in his hands and then he placed Stephen and William under arrest. The booze and implements were locked in a large room in the rear of the house, and it was only when preparations had been made to cut the door down that a key was found and the door unlocked.
There is considerable livestock on the farm and the two younger boys were left there to care for the animals. The two prisoners, the three stills, and about five gallons of the product were loaded into the bob sled and later into the sheriffs automobile and brought to Sayre. The outfit was the most complete ever brought here. The largest still is shaped like an ordinary wash boiler with two large screw caps and a top connection for the worm or condensing tube. It has a capacity of about 40 galons.
This was new and had been used very little. Another had a capacity of about 30 gallons and showed much use, while the third and oldest unit holds about 15 gallons. Liquor Pure White The liquor brought here was pure white like water. When poured out and a match applied it would not catch fire, although a paper dipped in it burned readily with a blue flame. One old timer in the justice office expressed the opinion that it contained no alcohol, then took a taste, made up a wry face, gave vent to a few expletives and decided that it did.
The Bazarnicks have a home in Elmira, and from the extent of the outfit on the farm it appears shat they have been the source of much of the bootleg liquor in that city. They claimed that they had only recently started operations and did not understand the process of making liquor very well. It is apparent that they were unskilled, because when the stills were in operation on the farm, people nearly a half mile distant were able to smell the fumes, and it is this that aroused suspicion The officers said that the house was completely permeated with the odor. NO MARKED CHANGE IN CONDITIONS OF BURNED LEHIGH MEN The condition of Ralph Hoover, Charles Sebastian, Raymond Winters and Jay Decker, Lehigh employes injured yesterday when sprayed with burning oil following the explosion of a tank in the local shops, was reported at the Packer Hospital yesterday as showing no marked change. It is the opinion of the physicians at the hospital that, barring further complications, each of the has an excellent chance to make a full recovery.
Hoover, a resident of Owego, is in the most serious condition, suffering from a multitude of burns about his face and entire body. Lehigh officials said today that they had not yet been able to ascertain what caused the tank to explode yesterday, resulting in the serious buhning of the four men.

Store Man; Damage Small. An overheated flue leading from the heater in the I. F. building on Elmer avenue set fire to floor joists under the part occupied by Elton M. Brennen, chiropractor.
The blaze was discovered by Co Charles Co-operative Saphar, store, manager located of in the same building and he extinguished it before any damage was done. All three fire companies responded to the alarm but found the fire out when they arrived. The firemen found tha tthe smoke flue came within a fraction of an inch of the floor joists and that a very dangerous condition existed that might cause a fire at any time when it became extremely hot. It was protected by an asbestos covering that had been recently renewed but this proved either defective or inadequate.

V. I. A. League. At the same time and as a preliminary contest, the Sayre high and Towanda high school girls will meet.
In its previous games this year the Sayre quintet has shown up in a strong light, having suffered but one defeat and that at the hands of the Elmira Free Academy five.

GOETHALS ASKS PUBLIC TO HELP TO CONSERVE COAL ALBANY, Jan. is going to freeze to death, but some people are going to be unecessarily angry and discommoded unless we all pitch in and exhibit a proper degree of hearty co-operation," State Fuel Administrator George W. Goethals, told members of the New York State Coal Dealers' Association at a meeting Use of bituminous coal and the proper co-operation between consumer, dealer and fuel administrator, will solve the coal shortage problem, Mr.
Goethals that dealers are just as much a part of the administration as he is, their work being distribution. The Woodin organization would be retained, Mr. Goethals said, "unless I find some reason for a change." "Co-operation means accepting the side of the public welfare," said Mr. Goethals. is the sort of co-operation I am going to expect of you.
You have the hardest job because you are up against the human element. No one knows. better than you gentlemen that there is a coal shortage. "We have the coal dealers on the firing line and we have got to depend on them to get distribution, and distribution according to 01'- If you'll play the game and play it on the level, I'll back you with all that is in me. "If there is the proper kind of co operation between the fuel administrators and the dealers and between the dealers and the consumers, there is no reason, why this job can't be done with efficiency and good will."

A question which has gained the interest of the entire state of Pennsylvania and which has on occasions penetrated even beyond the borders of the state, has arisen in an adjoining county-Susquehanna -where Elmer Washburn, 14 years old, confessed slayer of Cyrus Payne, an aged recluse, is held awaiting trial on a charge of murder. The question is: "Can a boy of 14 years be Ito the electric chair?" The statutes declare that he can, upon conviction. The crime under which the lad stands indicted presents no puzzling angles or obscure ramifications; all that it seems possible to know about the slaying has been uncovered and the evidence, seconded by a frank and veracious acknowledgement of the deed by the boy presents, but one thin and nebulous thread upon which a case might be hung--the inability of the lad to differentiate between right and wrong.
The law covering offenses by minors rules that a child of 7 years .01 under may not 1 be convicted of crime. But between the ages of 7 and 14 years it is assumed that a child is able to discern between right and wrong, and until his inability to do this is proved in court, he is held as responsible as a full grown man. Talks Freely of Slaying Washburn has confessed that he alone and with premeditation slew Cyrus Payne at the anchorite's hut near Brushville, Susquehanna county, on Friday, October 27, of the past year. The lad was a friend of the old man and a frequent visitor to his hut. On this morning Payne was seated at a table, eatling breakfast, when the boy entered, took a gun barrel which 1 he had secreted nearby in preparation for the deed and beat the recluse over the had until he became unconscious.
The boy then took a bag containing $2462 from the dying man's pockets, locked the door upon the inside and made his escape through a window. He then hid the money, according to his confession and later, indicating its location to the state troopers, it was recovered. Evidence of the widespread interest which the case has created is shown in the fact that the writer from The Syracuse American was sent last week to Montrose to investigate the story. Excerpts from the article which subsequently came from this investigation for low: Lad Is Attractive "He has something irresistibly attractive about him. No one looking at him can fail to realize the feelings expressed by State Trooper Charles Cracofsky at the coroner's inquest after the arrest: I could have cried when the kid made me understand that he was really the "And that is the impression which Elmer Washburn makes on all.
That is the way Sheriff Darrow and his wife who have been his constant companions since he was brought to the Susquehanna county jail from his seat in the Brushville school house. on the morning of November 1, feel about him. Mrs. Darrow, although the thought of the crime sometimes keeps her awake nights, says she can not in her heart bring herself to associate the idea of the murder with the boy, who is deeply interested in the books she gets him from the library, who loves to beat her at the games she plays with him sometimes--Authors, Old Maid and parlor, croquet and blackgammon--and who teases her for cookles and apples just as her own boy might. "Elmer is not very tall for his age.
He is slight and has fair hair, carefully brushed and a skin like a little girl's and cheeks as pink as maiden blush apples. His eyes were blue and merry. His features were regular, He has a most infectious little gurgle of laughter, which makes one want to laugh with him. His voice has not yet begun to change, but is still that of a child. He uses excellent English and has a rather remarkable vocabulary.

She adopted me when I was two years old and we don't either one of us know the difference. 'Then of course you always tried to do as she wanted you said the reporter. A smile irradiated the boy's face.
'Well I tried but sometimes I didn't always. She wanted me to go to school regularly, but sometimes I teased to stay out and sometimes I ran away. Brushville isn't a town at all. It's just a place -and I don't know as you would call it even that. I always thought I'd take mother and get away from there some day go to a city Enameled Ware Sale 25c See the Window Geo.
