ALTOONA WORKERS HOLDING IT UP
First Day's Returns Good - Distinguished Australian Coming to Mass Meeting 
Thursday - Liberty Bonds, Not Stamps Accepted
  Red Cross captains and solicitors were hard at work yesterday and are very 
optimistic as to the results of the drive.  At the noon luncheon, only a few of 
the teams were able to give figures, because the work had only gotten well under 
way, but a total of $4,656.25 was reported as follows: First ward, Captain 
Swengle, $2,200; Third ward, Captain Bergman, $2,102.75; Eighth ward, Captain 
Tillard, $128; Logan township, Second district, Captain Post, $182; Logan 
township, Fifth district, Captain Kelchner, $43.50.  Reports of yesterday's work 
will come in this morning from the branches and city teams and not until then 
will the real results be shown.  Some interesting notes from headquarters are 
appended:

WORKERS ARE ENTHUSIASTIC
  A very enthusiastic meeting of the Team Captains and workers of the twelve 
wards in Altoona was held at a luncheon at Caum's at 12.15 noon, Tuesday, May 
21, 1918, which was addressed by Mr. Oliver Rothert and Rev. F. Dean Miller and 
reports from the ward Captains read.  Mr. Rothert gave a very timely talk to the 
assembly and urged them to make this the biggest campaign for Red Cross work 
that has ever been held in the county.  Rev. Miller detailed the workings of the 
American Red Cross and the good it is doing, not only abroad, but in this 
country and locally; calling attention to the fact that the giving or more than 
one million dollars to Italy during their recent retreat some months ago, did 
more to restore the morale of the Italian army than any other single thing.  He 
also mentioned the suffering that has been alleviated in our own midst upon the 
part of families whose dependents had gone to the front.

FIREWORKS TO BE UNDER BAN ON THE FOURTH
City Council Passes Ordinance Prohibiting Their Sale and Use in City
DISSENTING VOTES ARE RECORDED

  The Fourth of July in Altoona will not be celebrated this year with a display 
of pyrotechnics for city council yesterday afternoon adopted the ordinance, 
which has been under consideration for several weeks, that places a ban on their 
sale and use of fireworks in the city.  The ordinance was not passed unanimously 
for there were two dissenting votes, the first to be recorded in taking action 
on any legislation since the new council went into office.
  The consideration of the fireworks ordinance was the last matter of business 
to come before the body and for a time it looked as though it might be 
sidetracked.  After some little discussion on the celebration of the Fourth with 
fireworks, the action of other cities in placing a ban on their sale and use 
Commissioner Westfall moved for the adoption of the ordinance.  Commissioner 
Lafferty was the seconder.
  Mayor Charles Rhodes spoke in favor of allowing the sale of fireworks as did 
also Commissioner Stevens.  They both put little credence into the vote of the 
school children.  Mr. Stevens stated that he had visited both Bartle's and 
Watson's and found that they both had a supply of small fireworks on hand.  
Messrs. Westfall and Cassidy believed that the school children were sincere in 
their stand for the adoption of the ordinance.  The latter related how his 
little 10-year-old girl had informed him that in her school room, a new teacher 
took the vote, that there was but one boy that wanted fire works while the other 
desired to invest their money in war stamps to help win the war.  Mr. Lafferty 
also favored the adoption of the ordinance for the reason of safety to people.  
A vote was taken and the ordinance passed by the following vote, Yea, Cassidy, 
Lafferty, Westfall; nay, Rhodes and Stevens.

CITY COUNCIL MOVES TOWARD MOTORIZATION
City Manager Hinkle Will Get prices on Two Pieces of Motor Apparatus
FIRE ENGINES IN POOR CONDITION

  Altoona's fire fighting apparatus is not up to standard, some of the fire 
engines are obsolete and practically unfit for service and new equipment is 
needed was practically what City Manager Hinkle informed city council yesterday 
afternoon and that something should be done to increase the efficiency of the 
department as quickly as possible.  Council acted quickly and the city manager 
was authorized to secure prices on a triple combination motor driven pumping 
engine and one service truck. (Continued on page 8)

AN OLD TIME LAND SLIDE FOR SPROUL
...Altoona and Blair county yesterday expressed by the ballot that they favored 
the adoption of the prohibition amendment to the constitution of the United 
States.  Fifty three of the eighty-nine districts show conclusively that the dry 
candidates were the winners.  Altoona's expression is definite, for it voted 
decisively for the recognized dry candidates.
  J. Denny O'Neil for the gubernatorial nomination on the Republican ticked 
carried Altoona over Sproul by more than 200 votes.  E. E. Beidleman bested John 
R. K. Scott by more than 400.  For state senate Plymouth M. Snyder carried the 
city over Thomas J. Forbes, by 236 votes.  Fred A. Bell, for general assembly, 
won over Brenneman by a plurality of more than 400 votes.  Hartsock the third 
man in the race for general assembly received by 480 votes.
  W. S. Aaron, a candidate for congress at large had a handsome vote in the 
city, receiving 2627.  These figures ran away ahead of any other candidates.  
John M. Rose, for congress, received 3086 votes in the city and this practically 
gives the Republican vote polled.  The contest for state committeeman was a 
three cornered one, but the real contestants were H. C. Prutzman and Howard M. 
Sell, the former was the winner by a majority of 800.

VOTE IN THE COUNTY

  The Republican vote in the county was just about half normal but those who 
voted favored national prohibition.  Their choice for nominees as expressed in 
twenty-four districts is O'Neil, for governor; Beidleman for lieutenant 
governor; Paul W. Houck, for secretary of internal affairs; Plymouth W. Snyder, 
for state senate.
  The greatest interest was possibly centered in the legislative fight.  There 
was never any doubt about Mr. Snyder besting Thomas J. Forbes for (Continued on

DRAFT BOARD NO. 1 NOTES
  Word was received yesterday morning at Hollidaysburg by County Draft Board No. 
1, of the appointment of W. Lovell Baldrige of Hollidaysburg as a member of the 
board to succeed ex-Sheriff Harry Holland, who was recently commissioned a 
captain in the remount division in the U.S. Army. A meeting of the board was 
immediately held at the office of the secretary, Robert W. Smith, Esq., at which 
Mr. Baldrige was inducted into office, after which he was elected as chairman of 
the board.  He will preside at the exercises to be held at the court house on 
Tuesday afternoon for the fifty young men of the district who will leave for 
Camp Lee on that day.
  Instructions were also received yesterday by the board to specially induct 
twenty-five men into the service, to be sent to Columbus, Ohio.  They will be 
selected in a few days and will leave the latter part of next week.
  Letters were received from Walter H. Slippey, who was captain of the 
contingent of locomotive engineers sent last week to Fort Benjamin Harrison, and 
John H. Walker, who captained the colored section sent to Fort Wayne; stating 
that both contingents had arrived safely with all in the best of health and 
spirits.
  It was decided by the board yesterday, to conduct the registration on June 5, 
of all the youths who have arrived at the age of 21, since last June 5, at the 
local court house.  It is expected there will be about 250 young men from the 
seven towns and twelve townships included in the district, and all will have to 
go to Hollidaysburg on that day to register.
  The board also received orders regarding the war department's urgent need of 
skilled telegraphers, gas plant workers, wagonmakers, airbrake inspectors, 
boilermakers and helpers, railroad care inspectors, veterinarians, wheelwrights, 
and colored bricklayers.  So urgent is the need that instructions were given 
that these men should be taken from classes 1, 2 and 3.

OBITUARY RECORD
David Blair Lindsay.
  David Blair Lindsay, one of Hollidaysburg's best known and highly respected 
residents, died last evening at 7:30 o'clock, at his home, 533 East Hickory 
street, of a complication of diseases, after a long illness, during which he was 
a patient sufferer.  For a number of years he had been afflicted with 
inflammatory rheumatism, but by reason of his great will power, was able to go 
almost daily to his work, until last May, when he was knocked down by two horses 
attached to a milk wagon, while waiting for a street car at the corner of Penn 
and Hickory streets.  He had been bedfast ever since the accident, and other 
complications set in, causing him to suffer the most excrutiating pain, which he 
bore with the greatest fortitude to the end.
  Mr. Lindsay was a son of the late Robert and Catherine Lindsay, of 
Hollidaysburg, and was born here on October 15, 1854, having lived his whole 
lifetime in Hollidaysburg, with the exception of a few years.  He graduated from 
the local public schools and went to Duff's business college at Pittsburg in 
1874, where he took a thorough business course.  After finishing there, he took 
a position with J. D. Brend & Co., wholesale milliners of Pittsburg.  A few 
years later, he returned to Hollidaysburg and was employed for some time at the 
Adams Express office, leaving there in 1875 and entering the employ of the 
Pennsylvania Railroad company at Altoona as a clerk in the motive power 
department under Superintendent E. Neely.  While employed here he operated the 
first electric pen that was ever used in the railroad offices.
  On September 1, 1882, he embarked in the grocery business at Hollidaysburg.  
In 1884 on account of the business panic, he went out of business and entered 
the register and recorder's office, where he remained until January 1, 1890, 
when he entered the county commissioners' office as clerk, where he remained 
until being compelled to give up work by reason of being injured as told of 
above.  Mr. Lindsay was one of the best clerks in the county and was especially 
valuable in the commissioners' office, on account of his complete knowledge of 
the duties of the office.  He was an expert penman, possibly having no equal in 
the state as a pen artist.
  Mr. Lindsay was a faithful and active member of the Hollidaysburg Presbyterian 
church since his boyhood days, and was a good, Christian gentleman, who was 
noted for his gentle, kindly nature, that made everyone his friend, and was true 
to every trust reposed in him.  He was an ardent lover of Nature and especially 
fond of fishing and hunting, he and the writer having enjoyed many pleasant 
hours together in pursuit of these sports.
  On June 1, 1881, he was united in marriage to Miss Carrie Delano Carter, at 
her home in Hanover, N. H., by whom he is survived, with these children: Ernest 
C., of Hollidaysburg; Mrs. May Gesser, of Lakemont; and Mrs. Jennie Ethel 
Anderson, of Detroit, Mich.; also by one brother, Ulysses Grant Lindsay, and two 
sisters: Mrs. Edward Lotz of Hollidaysburg and Mrs. Hallie Waters of 
Philadelphia. His brother, Walter E. Lindsay, a prominent retired merchant of 
Hollidaysburg, preceded him to the grave a few months ago.  The funeral 
arrangements have not been perfected and will be announced later.

  Mrs. Morgan J. Doyle, of 1623 [Elev]enth avenue, left yesterday for Pittsburg 
where she will visit her friend Miss Marylyn B. Ashelman, of New Philadelphia, 
O., who lies in a hospital there crippled for life as the result of being caught 
in the explosion which destroyed the Aetna Chemical company's plant at Oakdale 
last Saturday.
  Mrs. Doyle and Miss Ashelman trained together at St. John's General hospital, 
Northside, Pittsburg.  Because of ill health, Mrs. Doyle was forced to give up 
nursing about a year and a half ago.
  Miss Ashelman was accompanying a young interne, succoring the injured, when 
one of the many explosions threw a piece of red hot piping against her, cutting 
one of her legs completely off.  Her heroic actions in the danger zone have won 
for her the title of "Heroine of Oakdale" and the story of her injury has been 
featured in the papers for days.

TYRONE TOPICS

EMERGENCY AID ANNIVERSARY
  The local branch of the Emergency Aid in Tyrone is passing through an 
anniversary season.  Organized last spring with Mrs. Herbert W. Bieber as 
president, Mrs. A. E. Smith as secretary, and Miss Gertrude Bouse as treasurer, 
that branch has had a most successful years' work and in that time has 
contributed approximately $2,000 to war relief work.
  This work has been carried on entirely by a weekly collection from those who 
attend and by volunteer offerings from friends.  To supplement these offerings, 
a bazaar is now being planned for Saturday, June 1st, in the McGowan building on 
Tenth street, and the ladies will offer for sale a fine collection of usable 
household articles, including gingham and percale aprons, baby clothes, hand-
made lace, etc.; also war-time bread, cakes and cookies, together with the 
recipes for the same.
  All the articles are being donated so that the entire proceeds of the sale 
will go to carry on the work of the branch.  Any one desiring to contribute to 
this bazaar will please notify Mrs. Harry Gardner, general chairman, or Mrs. 
Bieber.

I HAD STOMACH TROUBLE FOR YEARS
Would Feel Numb at Times
  Mrs. L. W. Vaughn, 3022 Oak Ave., Altoona, says: "For six or seven years I 
have suffered from stomach trouble, which caused me to have headaches, feel weak 
and dizzy, would rift up gas, and at times would feel sort of numb; this was 
especially noticeable on rising in the morning, which gave me a bad start for 
the day.  This condition rather discouraged me for nothing seemed to do me much 
good.  At last I began to take Sanpan and I soon started to feel better, my 
stomach is now in good condition, am not bothered any more with headaches, 
rifting of gas, and that numb feeling has passed away.  Sanpan is a wonderful 
tonic."
  Sanpan is being introduced at Turner's Drug Store (Turner Drug Co.), 1116 11th 
Ave., Altoona.

WEATHER DAMPENS A.H.S. ATHLETICS
Strenuous Practice Today for Game with Y.M.C.A. on Thursday
  Weather conditions for the past few days put a damper on the outdoor training 
of the Maroon and White squad.  However if no further rain interferes the squad 
will resume strenuous training for its game tomorrow at 3.30 sharp, when the 
newly organized Altoona Y.M.C.A. outfit is to be met in a friendly combat on the 
Cricket Field.  The game will be well worth attending for two reasons - one is 
the pep displayed by the High school squad since its sudden return to form, and 
the second is the working of a crack college southpaw who has been corralled by 
Coach Aukerman of the Y nine.  This self same port-sider is "Lefty" Vaughn of 
the Dickinson college nine which last year held the undefeated Cornell 
university nine to a 2 to 1 score on the Ithaca, N.Y. grounds.  Vaughn will have 
a strong battery mate in Schmitt. Coach Sharadin is carefully grooming Harris 
and Bloom for the hurling duties of the local scholastic outfit.
  On Friday evening the High school team plans to hold a Lawn Fete on the 
Jaggard plot alongside the High school building.  The school band, with the 
assistance of a number of loyal alumni is scheduled for a concert at the same 
time and place.  The proceeds derived from the festivities are to meet the 
obligations of the present season's successful schedule.  Among the evening's 
features the committee has planned for a cake walk.  Special electrical 
decorations are to be installed.

City Council Moves Toward Motorization (Continued from page 1)
  Mr. Hinkle, after council had taken action on numerous matters, advised 
council that if they favored the purchase of any new fire apparatus that some 
action should be taken at once for the reason that it would be impossible to get 
a delivery under 200 days.  He advised the consideration of the body of 
purchasing a service truck and a triple combination motor driven pumping engine.  
He stated that the estimated cost was $9,400 and $11,000.  He stated that the 
fire engine at No. 3 station, built in 1868, was practically out of service; 
that the engine at No. 4 station, was not in good condition and that No. 1 was 
too heavy to be hauled over the hills.  He also called attention to the 
condition of the big Hayes truck at No. 1 station, that the big aerial ladder 
recently had to be strengthened and that it was too heavy for general purposes, 
that it was seldom required outside of the business district and that it could 
be stored and used for emergency purposes.  He strongly approved of the purchase 
of at least two pieces of equipment at once and that if possible that something 
be done toward buying similar pieces for the east side of the city.
  Commissioner Westfall stated that the city should have a properly equipped 
fire department, that it was now badly crippled and that something should be 
immediately done to bring about its betterment that it could be brought to a 
higher state of efficiency.  He said he believed that if the condition were 
brought rightly to the attention of the people that they would approve of the 
motorization of the entire department.
  Mayor Rhodes stated that the city needed the triple combination pumping engine 
and also other equipment.  Commissioner Cassidy favored motorizing the 
department, believing that the city would save money by the purchase of the new 
apparatus in the feeding of horses and other overhead charges.  Commissioners 
Lafferty and Stevens also favored improving the city's fire fighting facilities.
  Mr. Hinkle was authorized to take the proper steps toward securing prices on a 
service truck and also the triple combination pumping engine, both to be motor 
driven.
  Mr. Hinkle was also authorized to sell four horses of the department and also 
the running gears of the old hose truck at No. 3 fire station recently 
motorized.
  The city manager informed council that later he wanted to take up with it the 
reorganization of the fire department and the shifting around of the stations to 
bring about greater efficiency and greater protection to the property of the 
people of the city.

Lutherans Disown Kaiser
  Philadelphia, May 21. - Vigorously denying that the German emperor is a member 
of the Lutheran church and adopting resolutions extending their full support to 
the government in its prosecution of the war, members of the Evangelical 
Lutheran ministerium of Pennsylvania and adjoining states in the opening session 
of its 171st annual convention here today, took the occasion to vehemently 
denounce Emperor William.

PREPARING FOR CENSUS
  Washington, May 21. - A bill authorizing the fourteenth census in 1920 and 
appropriating $18,000,000 to defray costs, was favorably reported to the house 
today by the census committee.  It is estimated that upwards of 100,000 
enumerators, clerks, etc., will be needed for the inquiry, which is to be made 
as to population, farm products, manufacturers and mines and quarries.

CHESTER MAN AT HEAD OF REPUBLICAN TICKET BY A LARGE MAJORITY (Continued from 
page 1)
State senate in the county districts and naturally the voters turned their 
attention to electing dry candidates for general assembly.  The vote indicates 
that Samuel McCurdy, of Hollidaysburg, and R. Donald Lorenz, of Roaring Spring, 
will likely be nominated when all returned are recorded.  The returns from the 
districts show McCurdy and Simon F. Zook are leading but Roaring Spring's votes 
is missing but telephone communications with Roaring spring indicates that 
Lorenz ran strong there and that his vote will run two to one over Zook.  The 
county vote for state committeeman shows Prutzman leading Sell by about 700.
  The Democrats in the city were not enthusiastic voters, the vote cast being 
less than 1,000, figuring that Bernard J. Clark for congress and Thomas J. 
Forbes, for state senate received the total vote polled.  There was a surprise 
when the returns of the city were all recorded and showed that Eugene C. 
Bonniwell won over Joseph F. Guffey by more than 200.  This was practically the 
only contest in the Democratic ranks with the exception the one for state 
committeeman, A. V. Dively beating R. A. Henderson by about 100.

PARADE TO PRECEDE NAILING OF "KAISER"
Military Organizations Will March Over City Before Monday Night Event
  Boy Scouts, Junior Guards of Pennsylvania companies, Home Defense Police, 
Girls Scouts and other semi-military organizations in the city and county will 
parade over principal thoroughfares prior to the army recruiting "Nailing the 
Kaiser" event, probably at the Cricket field, Monday night.
  Nails will be auctioned off, as previously announced, and the proceeds will be 
given to the Red Cross chapter of Blair county.  A silver spike is to be first 
put up by the auctioneer and then ordinary nails, at ten cents or more each, are 
scheduled to be hammered into an effigy of the Beast of Berlin.
  On Saturday night, next week, a gold nail is to be auctioned off and the 
highest bidder will have the privilege of driving it in whatever part of the 
"kaiser's" anatomy is available.  The "emperor" will then be consumed by fire, 
while the crowd cheers.
  Corporal C. B. Davish, the soldier-cartoonist of the Harrisburg district 
recruiting headquarters, will direct the affair.  The local Red Cross officers 
will aid him in procuring the effigy for the occasion and it will be finished in 
appropriate colors by the artist.  
  More window cartoons were made yesterday by the corporal, whose work is 
arousing wide attention.  The newest additions are those at the Green Front meat 
market, Eleventh avenue and Eleventh street, and are being used to draw interest 
toward the recruiting campaign starting in the county next week.
  Starting at 7:30 p.m. Monday evening, the nailing of Wilhelm, of Germany, 
promises to bring a vast throng to the Cricket field and the parade before the 
affair will be featured also by the appearance of several bands which will 
render stirring patriotic tunes during the nailing and burning proceedings.
