TELEGRAPHED WITH Spring Will Soon Be Here , We have a carload of FORDS coming Get your order in Foid Worm-Gear Trucks C. L. HOBART CO. L L Philadelphia, Jan. 13. An inter esting story of enemy spy work Is told by Frank H. Gasklll, assistant chief of the Protective League, which rendered service during the war. The organization, Mr. Gasklll re lates, was responsible for the in ternment of a man caught spelling out dangerous messages with a trip hammer he was operating in a big Industrial plant on the Delaware river. The messages were first de tected by a telegraph operator In Palmyra, X. J. He caught the ham mer spelling out: "Troop ship moving tomorrow morning." The telegrapher notified the gov ernment authorities who caught the trip hammer operator signalling: "Raid on fishing fleet complete surprise." This was several hours before the news dispatches brought word of the sinking of a fishing fleet by German submarines off New England. The trip hammer expert was found to be a former telegraph operator. Mr. Gasklll said the mystery of where the operator got his news or to whom he was signalling was never solved. DateMax. MIn.

Salem, Jan. 13. Vile, unsafe and Insanitary conditions at the state penitentiary, with the lives of more than 300 convicts in constant Jeopr ardy because of the rotten structure and its -worse arrangement, Warden Stevens declares, will cause him to disavow all responsibility for the lives of the convicts and to put this responsibility squarely up to the leg-islature. He declares that no picture can be drawn too dark to cover tho un safe and Insanitary conditions at the prison. Shivering with cold during the winter, stricken down with dl sease In foul-smelling cells during the heat of the summer, he states that prison conditions are such that no human being, no matter what his offense, should be compelled to un dergo them.
