Mr. Barnes was 89 years old. He entered the service in 1848, joining an engineer corps which at that time was commencing the second year of the surveys for the location of the road west of the Alleghenies. He was a charter member of the Pennsylvania company, controlling the lines west of Pittsburg, and a member of the board of directors which in 1871 took over the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago railroad. In 1884 Mr. Barnes became receiver of the Allegheny Valley railroad. He had been a director of the Pennsylvania railroad since 1889. SAILORS TALK ABOUT WAR From the McKean County Miner. Robert Paul Bechtel, of Baker's Summit, Pa., and Irving Holmes, of Saginaw Mich., were in town Sunday and Monday, visiting J. W. Hessom, of Hilton avenue; Mrs. Hessom is Mr. Holmes' sister. These men are members of the United States navy and each wears on his sleeve the mark of excellence in gunnery, while Mr. Holmes has the additional insignia for continuous service having enlisted in the navy in 1911, and is now serving the period measured by the duration of the war. When this country declared war on Germany these young men were serving on a destroyer and were among the very first to be sent to England's aid in patrolling the waters of the United Kingdom in search of U-boats and mines. They continued in the discharge of this duty for some time until disaster overtook them. The boat they were on was torpedoed by a submarine and after floating at the mercy of the waves for seven hours these two with some others were fished up. In fairness to the young men this part of the narrative must be made obscure although it can be states that the torpedoed boat they were serving on was not an American craft as they were transferred from this destroyer upon arrival in British waters. After being rescued they enjoyed quite a period of inaction and learned much of the wartime conditions of Great Britain and Inland [sic], and while on active duty several times visited the coast territory of France. Although young in years these boys have seen much - big things, horrors indescribable and the life has set its marks upon them, they have lost the frivolity and thoughtlessness of youth, now they are calm, determined men, warriors by occupation. They told of visiting a hospital in England that numbered among its patients a ship's crew that had been captured by a German U-boat and later set free - each one of them branded with hot irons from ear to ear around under the chin with a terrible "U" and on their foreheads with an imprint of Iron Cross scarred to the bone. The boys said skin grafting was being resorted to in the hopes of erasing these heated, disfiguring marks but without much prospects of satisfactory success. They talked with those that knew personally of a submarine crew picking up survivors of a torpedoed ship, stripping the life preservers from them and leaving them on the outer deck of the submarine until miles distant from the shore and life boats. Then the submarine submerged leaving these men to fight for life in the waves until they became exhausted and sunk. They told of life aboard a destroyer running thirty-five knots an hour, when you cannot cook your food and must be satisfied with an occasional "bit." As a matter of fact the boys say you don't care much for food under these conditions, and told of a captain whose 29 years of service had not cured him of the afflictions of sea sickness. You visit the rail frankly and frequently. Messrs. Bechtel and Holmes came from England on a ship that has been often mentioned since the war broke out and their trip home was uneventful. They will soon leave for an Atlantic port and hope and expect within a few weeks to be Hun chasing on the high seas again. The boys particularly appreciate American "eats" as they say it is hard to get an appetizing meal on the other side no matter how much you pay. They left here Tuesday to visit some of Mr. Bechtel's relatives at New Castle and from there will go to Detroit for a short visit. A VETERAN DEAD. Special to the Tribune. Lewistown, May 10. - J. A. Brower, 73 years old, is dead at Mifflintown.

SELECTIONS from the Altoona Tribune, Saturday Morning, May 11, 1918, page 9 THIRTY-NINE NEW CITIZENS IN BLAIR Naturalization Court Adds That Many - Others Held Up for War Reasons Uncle Sam's great family was increased by thirty-nine yesterday, when at the May session of naturalization court that number of foreign-born residents of "Little Blair" was given citizenship. J. A. G. Stitzer, examiner of the Federal Department of Labor, was present and conducted the examinations, the court being presided over by Judge Thomas J. Baldrige. The list included eighteen who had been subjects of the king of Great Britain and Ireland; twelve of the king of Italy; eight of Russia and one of Sweden. There were ninety-seven applicants on the list but some of them failed to be present, while others by a rather unusual circumstance were prevented from becoming citizens yesterday by reason that the word had not yet reached the examiner or the court of the signing by President Wilson of a bill that was passed by congress last Monday, which would have entitled them to citizenship. One of the provisions of the bill awaiting the president's signature is that natives of Germany who filed their declarations not less than two years or more than seven years prior to April 6, 1917, can petition for and be granted citizenship. In the case of natives of Austria-Hungary, the declaration must have been filed not less than two years prior to December 7, 1917, the date of the declaration of war against the latter country. As it was not known whether the bill had been signed, there were a number of Germans and Austrians whose cases had to be continued. The new law, however, contains a provision whereby any foreigners can quickly become a citizen of this great republic without having to wait five years or go through the red tape now required. Any foreigner living in this country who has entered the American army, either by enlistment or draft, is entitled to citizenship and may be so admitted at the nearest court, or the matter may be attended to at the cantonment where the soldiers are quartered. Of the eighteen subjects of Great Britain before the court yesterday, twelve were English, three Irish, two Scotch and one Welsh. Three of the men naturalized yesterday changed their names upon becoming citizens. Jesse Maslowsky, a native Russian, took the new name of Jesse Mason; Abram Bookmus changed his name to Berman, and Ernest Sidebottom, of Juniata, had his name changed to Stewart. As usual, the court refused to naturalize those who could not read or understand the English language, but an exception was made in the case of Domenico Cortelluccio, who speaks the language quite well but is unable to read, because he has been in the country for sixteen years and owns two properties. Several Italians who displayed too much ignorance of American institutions were advised to attend night school for a time before they appear for citizenship. A rather peculiar situation arose in the case of a man who was prevented from becoming a citizen because he is a subject of Germany, although a Frenchman and thoroughly loyal to the cause of the United States, France and the other allied nations. The man is a native of Alsace-Lorraine, which has been under German domination since 1871 and is one of the bones of contention in the present war. Regardless of his personal views, technically he is a German subject at present and will be compelled to await the issue of the war. . . . [continued on page 10] The following is a list of the applicants admitted to citizenship: Thomas Muller, 714 Seventh avenue, Ireland. Edward Pilkington, 110 Seventh street, England.

Early in the present term John gave up his studies to don the khaki and at the passing out of the class of 1918 will be included in the roster. The soldier boy is regarded with pride by the school and at the request of the senior class the faculty has consented to include him as an honorary graduate. His name will appear with special mention on the commencement program and invitations and the fellow members of his class will present the absent one with a class ring as a souvenir of their personal regard and the honor in which he is held by the school. TWO HOURS ENOUGH Mrs. May Stiffler and Mrs. Hannah Moore, neighbors at Third avenue and Ninth street, brought business into 'Squire D. D. Coleman's court last night with charges and counter charges of using loud and boisterous language and calling each other abusive names. Mrs. Stiffler was backed up by her husband, Harry Stiffler, in the charges against Mrs. Moore, who is said to have aroused trouble when the Stifflers accused her boy of stealing a pair of nose glasses and fifty cents in ready cash. The boy also appeared as a defendant and there were in all three cases to draw a roomful of spectators to the 'squire's office. The testimony in the cross suits was an even break and two hours of it convinced the court that each side would get a square deal by dividing the costs. The boy was discharged because of insufficient evidence against him. The Stifflers were represented by Attorney R. A. Henderson and Charles Kurtz counsel for the Moores. MAYOR DISCHARGES DISORDERLY YOUTHS Boys Who Were Charged With Making Trouble Are Given Severe Reprimand Edna Wineland, charged with street walking, forfeited $25.80 security. She was apprehended early Thursday morning. A woman drunk forfeited $3.80, as did a masculine inebriate.

Andy Lockard, drunk, disorderly and panhandling, drew a fifteen days in jail sentence. M. B. McCright, charged with being drunk and disorderly, failed to appear and forfeited $20.80 security.
