Fast & Furious Drone Hysteria

Don’t you love it when the fringe comes at the middle from both sides and calls it “bipartisanship”? Yes, Republicans have finally picked up on the potential political power of drone hysteria — so they’re questioning presidential authority in a way guaranteed to bring applause and acclaim from the Ron Paul antiwar set. Funny how that works out. From Adam Serwer at Mother Jones:

Congress is finally standing up to President Barack Obama on targeted killing. Almost a year after three American citizens were killed in US drone strikes, legislators are pushing the administration to explain why it believes it’s legal to kill American terror suspects overseas.

Get that? The same Congress which obsessed over Solyndra, and held Eric Holder in contempt on the word of two right wing bloggers and a disgruntled ATF agent, is suddenly “standing up” for truth and justice. Further irony from Republican Senator John Cornyn, as reported by MoJo:

“We’re not mere supplicants to the executive branch, we are a coequal branch of government,” Cornyn said during discussion of his amendment in the Senate committee hearing last week. “So it is insufficient to say pretty please, Mr. President, pretty please, Mr. Attorney General, will you please tell us the legal authority by which you claim the authority to kill American citizens abroad?” (Cornyn also noted that just because he wants to see the memo doesn’t mean he’d necessarily disagree with its contents.)

Senator Cornyn is not the commander-in-chief of the armed forces; the president is. Cornyn knows damn well, or ought to know, that legal authority proceeds from the AUMF (Authorization for Use of Military Force) Congress passed in 2001. Nor does the nationality of Anwar al-Awlaki protect him from the consequences of his own warmaking against the United States.

If Congress is suddenly against the killing of Al Qaeda leadership, they can just as easily pass a bill to end that authority. But they won’t, because that is not what this is really about.

None of these Republicans had anything to say when Bush was carpet-bombing Baghdad and ignoring Al Qaeda altogether. Nope, it’s only when a new president adopted a laserlike focus on the terrorist organization, abandoning confrontation with the mirage of ‘Islamofascism,’ that anyone got upset. Remember, this is the same Senator Cornyn who called President Obama “blind to Islamic extremism:”

During an exclusive Newsmax interview, the Texas Republican cites Attorney General Eric Holder’s recent refusal in a Senate hearing to say that radical Islam played a role in recent terrorist incidents.

Holder was “almost defiant in acknowledging that that actually exists, and we see him persisting in really wrong-headed decisions like trying Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in civilian court in Manhattan,” says Cornyn, a member of the Judiciary Committee.

Yes, the same teapublican Congress which has consistently blocked all attempts to close Guantanamo and process detainees through the civilian court system is now heroically leading the fight to…um, save terrorist lives abroad? Huh?

Peace activists, take note: neocons and teapublicans are not your friends. They are not about to undo the AUMF and give you a more peaceful world. For them, this is merely another exercise in tearing down the black Democrat in the White House, no matter the damage to his office. They worship power, and war is their pornography. If you help them, they will remind you what real warmongers look like. Deep down, their only objection to drone strikes is that thousands more aren’t happening every day.

Figure 9.1        Joint Addresses to Parliament Since 1940

… there is nothing wrong in trying to improve the life style of parliamentarians, many of whom are men and women with family responsibilities. … The fact that Members of Parliament would not have to sit in the evening will upgrade their role in the sense that … they would be free to come and go as they please, to look after the interests of their constituents, to sit on the standing committees of the House, to participate actively in the special caucuses of their respective parties, [and] to go and address the Canadian people in many communities located within a reasonable distance from Ottawa.

Yvon Pinard, President of the Privy Council

(Debates, November 29, 1982, p. 21070)

A meeting, or “sitting”, of the House begins when the Speaker, or his or her deputy, takes the Chair and, seeing that a quorum is present, calls the House to order. A sitting ends upon the adjournment of the House. On days when the House meets, it does so in accordance with a predetermined daily schedule or timetable.[1] Within this context, the House retains a large measure of flexibility in the timing and duration of its sittings, and departures from the usual daily timetable do occur.

This chapter deals with the opening of a sitting, the requirements for quorum, the way in which the hours of sitting are set or altered, and the unusual or special types of sittings of the House.

Places I’ve Been Lately

It seems like I’ve been doing nothing but writing guest posts lately, which is not exactly true, but there has been a bit more of it than usual this week.

First, my pal Amanda, who shared her tips on subscription boxes earlier this week, hosted me at Let’s Talk Learning, the blog component of the website for her forthcoming book. I shared five reasons to craft with kids. If you read my blog regularly, you know this is a passion of mine. I think it’s so important to get creative with our kids, even if you don’t think of yourself as very creative or crafty. There are developmental reasons to do it, but it’s also just fun and really great bonding and talking time. perler beads

And I have another post at Not Consumed this month all about creating and learning with perler beads (or melty beads, fuse beads, whatever you want to call them). Making all the different shapes for this post actually injured me, such that I couldn’t knit for a week. If you do this, you’ll not try to make them all in the course of two days, I hope.

Also, sharing this post means I get to share this awesomely adorable picture of my kid. That face is totally worth the pain, right? Go check it out!

What have you been up to this week?

Celtic Easter Sunday
Fantastic result. Due a bit of luck as well!

Brown red card is 100% correct but the more i see Schalks dive the worse it gets....
1st of all a great point,could be argued we deserved a draw after 2nd half performance
Thought chow and O'Brien worked well together plenty of hard graft and O'Brien has that attacking sense, at the back Davies/Naismith/Fraser were solid made dembele look anonymous, disappointed with Celtic 2nd goal could have been prevented.
Obviously all attention is drawn to schalks dive, in real time it was clear it was a dive and I thought the ref was going to book him, however although schalk has dived it was the officials who made the decision.
This incident will be replayed all over Europe and does not reflect well on our club.
Unfortunately Alex is now going to miss some of the crucial run in and with Boyce suspended for Motherwell this leaves us short of options up front, also schalk will now have a reputation as a diver and this will influence referees decisions in the future.
Furthermore I hope Alex is not hounded by the media for this incident as this may affect his decision regarding a contract extension, for me he is a great asset to our team and would love him to stay but if he feels he is being victimised by media he may well choose to play his football in another country...

Midges header was sublime, and I thought Kenny V was solid at the back and combined well with Dow.

As for the penalty. Meh. We are due some luck, and if it's against the OF then even better.

One more thing....

I've never seen anyone's balls shrink so much as when Kenny VDW goes for Griffiths at the skirmish after the sending off. Pure terror in his eyes.

Spotted that myself.  I guess racially abusing people on Twitter, and stealing a bottle of Um Bungo from a shop is the height of his bravery.

Needn't worry, the fleeting trial by social media is long since over.

I'd also think any aggro would be against Schalk and not Ross County. I can't help but laugh at how the ref 'fell' for it.
A very valuable point, some decisions you win some you don't. Diving is pathetic, Scott Brown even more so.
Let's not get carried away, we are still a very poor side, and let's not paper over the cracks, we will be very fortunate to stay in the SPL.
Yikes, the Schalk dive looks even worse on tv! Also, their second goal looks more preventable as well, thought Fox looked suspect at both goals, although he made other saves to keep us in it. After my confusion surrounding O'Brien earlier, I thought he looked great alongside Chow, solid pair of grafters. Also love that the shortest man on the pitch scored with a header, says a lot about a defence...
Although watching the dive it is awful, you would think the Celtic were robbed of the title going by the reaction to this. Bit of mess to small number of seats in the away end too?

I have no idea why so many good Highlanders/Islanders support either of the vile old firm clubs.
Wee Griffiths must have a death wish squaring up to VDW after the Brown challenge!!
I'm loving the cheating meltdown irony.  It's as if football is generally an honest game and that footballers are ordinarily respectful to each other and the match officials.

You can watch any game and see a dozen or more examples of cheating.  It depends a bit on how you define cheating, but I am using it in the sense of a deliberate action contrary to the laws of the game.  The motive is irrelevant, and so is the outcome.  So a player who falls over on the half way line and wins an apparently innocuous free kick is cheating just the same as a player who dives in the penalty area and wins a penalty from which a goal is scored.  The consequences are quite different but the cheating is the same.

It makes no sense to make a fuss about one without also addressing the other.  Unless of course football is an inherently dishonest game.

Alex will have to try extra hard to stay on his feet from now on as he is likely to be assumed to cheat.

Violently assaulting a player is also cheating btw.

I have felt aggrieved several times by Celtic cheating so feel just a bit of karma re-balance on this occasion. In terms of luck similarly this may balance out some of our dropped points over the season.

(takes off County-tinted specs) ooh it's bright out here in the bottom six!

Alex will be disciplined and will learn, and good luck to him.

What do you think he will learn? I doubt it will be not to do it again. Any club in a relegation battle would trade a league point for a two match ban for a reserve striker. If Fraser or Fox had managed to get anything on Celtic's second goal it would have been for 3 points.  A no brainer.

But this is OK because football is a beautiful game.

Most don't realise there club is going to have to pay for it (Judging by doing some Twitter Stalking)
Keiran Teirney calling for Schalk to be banned.

Aye, alright Keiran, these are Celtic dives just from this season:

I was speaking to some Motherwell fans today and all said it was great to see such a bad decision given against one of OF - even if it could have an effect on their own chances of avoiding play-off position.

It was also good that Jim McIntyre was honest enough to say it was not a penalty when interviewed after the match.

If Rodgers thinks that Schalk's dive is cheating then the appeal against Brown's stick-on red card so he can play in the cup semi-final is also cheating. Even Pat Bonner on the radio said it was a definite red and that Brown had let down himself and the club.
If, during a match, Tierney asked the referee to book another player - Tierney would be booked (is this in Scotland too, certainly seen it elsewhere, such as European football?).

Would love to see that applied after the match too, if any player comes out in the press demanding another player gets banned - unlucky pal, wee ban for you there.

But then I'm feeling a bit bitter just now.
An unexpected point, but one I will happily take.
We worked hard I thought and despite being on the back foot for most of the first half I thought we did well in stifling  Celtics ability to score. They are a good team but for all their good play they were getting no where with no end product. Ross County deserve a lot of credit for that. Losing the goal so close to half time was a sore one.
Tremendous start to the second half and a wonderful header by Micheal, fabulous to silence the away support.
I feared the worse when we went 2-1 down, but the rest is history as they say.

Two late penalties in the last 2 home games has meant we have won and drawn those matches instead of losing one and drawing the other. Time will tell if that is crucial to our survival but it just shows how fine the margins can be to a team potentially staying up or going down.
I am a Scott Fox fan,but he has let in some howlers of late!! Not like him at all. Come on Scott we need you back to your brilliant best for last few games. Still one of Staggies best signings of last few seasons though.
(04-17-2017, 04:51 PM)NorthernBankie Wrote: It was also good that Jim McIntyre was honest enough to say it was not a penalty when interviewed after the match.

That honesty is quite typical for JM in post match interviews.  Certainly much better than "I didn't see it".

What I thought was more interesting was that he was entirely comfortable saying that Alex went down anticipating contact from the defender, but that it did not come.  He obviously didn't think that there is any risk of a charge of bringing the game into disrepute by saying that.  Think about that.  He was saying that if there had been contact, any contact at all, that would have been OK.  And that was not just his view, but also that of most of the ex-player TV pundits I have seen on this subject.

So it is accepted in the game that a player is entitled to go down if there is any contact at all.  This completely disregards the laws of the game which require the contact to be "careless, reckless or using excessive force" for it to be a foul.  If going down without any contact is cheating, going down in those circumstances must be cheating too.  Both are designed to confuse, or at least influence, the referee.

But that is obviously a leap too far for football's skewed logic.
Brendan  Rodgers quote
"I have seen some bad decisions up here since I've been at Celtic but that is the worst"

Considering this is only the second time he has taken his team to our place I don't remember anything controversial in their 0-4 win back in October so I don't know what he's bleating on about  unless he means the Highlands.

How cool was Liam Boyce to slot home that penalty in the last minute after the long delay, What A Man!

Biographies from Historical and Biographical Annals by Morton Montgomery

p. 1608

Rev. Benjamin Elias Kramlich was born in Weisenburg township, Lehigh county, Pa., Oct 7, 1831, son of Christian and Catharine (Kocher) Kramlich. During his boyhood he attended the common schools at Fogelsville, after which he was a pupil at an academy conducted by Rev. Van Deveer at Easton. In that city he was engaged for several years as a clerk in a dry goods store. In 1851 he resumed his studies, entering the preparatory department of Pennsylvania College, Gettysburg, and he graduated from that institution in 1856. The next two years were spent at the Theological Seminary at Gettysburg, and in the fall of 1858 he was licensed by the West Pennsylvania Synod, and was admitted into the Ministerium of Pennsylvania, and was ordained by it at Lebanon, Pa., in 1859. He first took charge of Trexlertown, Maxatawny (Siegfried's), Moselem, Fleetwood, Rockland (Mertz's) Hereford (Huff's) and Mertztown. At various times during the long years of his ministry he served Mohrsville, Shoemakersville and Jacksonville, and at the time of his death he was still serving five of the original congregations, having given up Moselem and Huff's years before, and added St. Peters, Topton, which he organized.

During his entire ministry he was connected with the Keystone State Normal School, which he helped to establish. He was a member of the board of trustees from the very beginning, and its president during the last twenty-three years. From 1885 to 1888 he also served as president of Conference.

On May 23, 1863, the Rev. Mr. Kramlich married Sophia B. Bieber, daughter of John and Hannah Bieber. He died Jan. 1, 1900, leaving his widow and three sons--Rev. William Wilberforce, Rev. John Frederick and Prof. George Edgar--and two daughters--Ella Evangeline and Charlotte Belle. His remains rest in the cemetery at Kutztown. The board of trustees of the Normal School placed a tablet in that institution in commemoration of his excellent services in its behalf.

Rev. William Wilberforce Kramlich, eldest son of the late Rev. Benjamin Elias, was born in Kutztown, Jan. 22, 1866, and was educated in the Normal School of that town, and at Chambersburg, entering Muhlenberg College, 1883, and graduating therefrom in 1887. In the fall he entered the Theological Seminary, from which he graduated May 19, 1891, and he was ordained at Pottstown. During the first years he assisted his father, and was then called to the Womelsdorf parish--Zion's, St. Daniel's near Robesonia, St. John's Host and Zion's at Strausstown. This field he served until the latter part of November, 1901. He is now located at Pinegrove, Pa. On June 14, 1894, he married Ida Ahrens, of Reading.

Rev. John Frederick Kramlich was born at Kutztown, Aug. 20, 1871, and his early literary training was received in the Normal School, from which he graduated in 1889. For three years he taught in the public schools of Lehigh county. He later entered Muhlenberg College, and graduated in 1896. In 1899 he graduated from Mt. Airy Seminary, and was ordained May 29th, by the Ministerium of Pennsylvania. He then took charge of Grace Church at Royersford. The congregation has built a fine new church during his ministry.

Prof. George Edgar Kromlich was born at Kutztown Oct. 3, 1873, and received his elementary training in the Normal School, graduating in 1891. After teaching several terms in Berks and Montgomery counties he entered Muhlenberg College, from which institution he graduated in 1897. He then taught in the classical department of the Keystone State Normal School for two terms, after which he became principal of schools in Brookville, Jefferson county, and later was superintendent of schools at Tarentum, Allegheny county. After pursuing a post-graduate course in the University of Pennsylvania and Columbia University, he accepted the chair of German and Latin in the Ball high school, Galveston, Texas, where he is now located.

Curtis E. Krauss, local superintendent of the Otto Eisenlohr & Bros. cigar manufactory, Reading, was born in Lehigh county, Pa., Dec. 13, 1872.

Balthaser Krauss, the ancestor of the American family of the name, was a son of Widow Anna Krauss, who came to Pennsylvania in 1733. On Jan. 16, 1736, he married Susanna Hoffman, and their children were: Rosina, born April 10, 1737; Susanna, Aug. 29, 1738; Barbara, July 22, 1742; Balthaser, Nov. 28, 1743; and Maria, July 17, 1750. Balthaser Krauss died Feb. 25, 1774, and his wife April 14, 1791.

Balthaser Krauss, son of Balthaser the emigrant, was born Nov. 28, 1743. On June 14, 1769, he married Susanna, daughter of H. Heinrich Yeakel, and their children were: John, born March 1, 1770; Andrew, June 21, 1771; Balthaser, Nov. 10, 1772 (died Aug. 26, 1779); Regina, 1775 (died 1807); Helena, 1776; Rosanna, 1780; George, Feb. 23, 1783; and Lydia, July 3, 1786.

John Krauss, son of Balthaser and Susanna (Yeakel), was born March 1, 1770. On May 11, 1795, he married Rosina Yeakel, daughter of Michael Yeakel, and their children were: Sarah, born 1795 (died 1798); Maria, Jan. 7, 1798; a daughter, 1800 (died unnamed); Anthony, May 23, 1803; Daniel, Oct. 16, 1805 (died April 3, 1808); a daughter, 1811 (died 1811); a son 1813 (died 1813); Joseph, Nov. 14, 1814; and Lydia.

Andrew Krauss, son of Balthaser and Susanna (Yeakel) born June 21, 1771, married Nov. 30, 1797, Susanna, daughter of Andrew Schultz. Their children were: Regina, born 1798; Leah, 1799; Joel, Oct. 11, 1801; George, Dec. 14, 1803; Samuel; Rebecca, Nov. 20, 1805; John; and David, Jan. 12, 1821.

George Krauss, son of Balthaser and Susanna (Yeakel) and the next in direct line to Curtis E. Krauss of Reading, was born Feb. 23, 1783, in Upper Montgomery county.

Jacob Krauss, son of George, was born May 9, 1807, in Kraussdale, Montgomery county, where he engaged in farming all his life. Like his ancestors he belonged to the Schwenkfelder religious society. He married Lydia Krieble, and they had these children: Amos, born March 21, 1833; Amanda, June 19, 1834; Selina, June 1, 1837; Samuel, Aug. 23, 1839; Jacob, Feb. 1, 1842; Catharine, March 21, 1844; and Mary, Oct. 23, 1846. Jacob Krauss died in 1879.

Amos Krauss, son of Jacob and Lydia (Krieble), was born in Lehigh county, March 21, 1833. His early years were spent on his fathers farm, and in 1883 he moved to Quakertown, where he followed farming. For some years he taught school in Upper Milford township, Lehigh county. He is now living retired in his own home. He is a man of high repute, and has been a good and useful citizen. His wife, Sophia Edelman, is a daughter of John Edelman, of Montgomery county. They had nine children: Amanda, m. to Frank Ackerman; Ambrose, who died in infancy; Preston, of Philadelphia; Morris, of Quakertown; Percifur, of Philadelphia; Puella, m. to L. H. Bartholomew, and died in August, 1906; Virginia, m. to Francis C. Detweiler, of Philadelphia; Curtis E.; and Sylvia, m. to Jeremiah Wissler, of Souderton, Pennsylvania.

Curtis E. Krauss was educated in the public schools of Quakertown, whither his parents had removed when he was eleven years of age. At the age of seventeen he learned the cigar makers trade from Henry Sommer & Son, with whom he remained about two years. He then worked at different factories in Quakertown, and the surrounding district, after which he connected himself with the H. Smeal Cigar Manufacturing Company, of Philadelphia, as general manager, remaining there four years. The following two years he was in the preparation department of Graham & Ernst, cigar manufacturers at Quakertown, acquiring a varied and valuable experience. He then, June 1, 1904, became foreman of Otto Eisenlohr & Bros. factory at Richlandtown, Bucks county, remaining there until March 1st of the following year, when he became the general manager and superintendent of the Otto Eisenlohr & Bros. factory at Reading, the second largest of its kind in that city. The plant is located at Seventh and Washington streets, the main building is 55x100 feet, and the annex is 30x45 feet, all four stories high. The interior is finished in hard wood, and everything is arranged on a strictly sanitary basis. There are about 400 persons employed, and over all Mr. Krauss has entire charge.

In 1895 Mr. Krauss married Miss Lizzie Heist, daughter of Henry C. and Leanna Heist, of Quakertown. Two children have been born to them: Herman Lloyd and Christine Leome. Socially Mr. Krauss belongs to St. Bernard Commandery, No. 49, Knights of Malta, of Quakertown; and Chandler Lodge, No. 227, F. & A. M., of Reading. He and his family are members of Trinity Lutheran Church. The family home is at No. 723 North Fourth street, Reading.

Milton C. Kreider, alderman of the Fourth ward, Reading, has been prominently connected with the political affairs of that city for a number of years. He is descended from a family of German origin, the founders of which in this country were three brothers, who came to America many generations ago. One of them settled in Lebanon county, one in Huntingdon county and the other in Lancaster county, Pa., Mr. Kreider being descended from the latter.

William Kreider, grandfather of the Alderman, lived in Lititz, Lancaster county. He went to Florida and took part in the Seminole Indian war and was never heard from afterward. Edwin W. Kreider, the Alderman's father, was then but four years old. He became a carriage builder and died in Reading May 17, 1904, aged seventy-four years. He married Angelina Missemer, daughter of Samuel Missemer, who was in the cigar business at Catasauqua, and they were the parents of ten children, four of whom are deceased: E. W., who died in 1876, aged fourteen years; George B., who died in 1866, aged two years; Mary Ida, who died in infancy in 1860; and Clarence, a bookkeeper, who died in 1902. The surviving children are Milton C.; Franklin S., a constable of the Fourth ward, Reading; Annie, wife of Benjamin Schoenberger, in the clothing business in Reading; Emma, at home; Roland and Henry, carriage painters of Reading.

Milton C. Kreider was born March 23, 1854, and he was educated in the public schools. Leaving home at the age of seventeen years his first occupation was at herding cattle on the plains. He spent eight years on the frontier, and then returning to Reading, went into the carriage business with his father, becoming general superintendent for the latter. He remained in this position until 1886, when he went to Schuylkill county, and engaged in carriage building and hotel keeping on his own account, remaining there six years. Returning to Reading he entered his father's carriage shops again in the position of superintendent. In 1893 Mr. Kreider was elected superintendent of the Reading Relief Society. In 1896 he was elected constable of the Fourth ward, and in 1899 was elected to succeed himself in that office. In 1902, although running on the Democratic ticket in a Republican ward, he was elected alderman of the Fourth ward, which office he is still filling.

Mr. Kreider was married April 9, 1881, to Valera Geier. He and his wife have adopted two children: Tracey Redcay and Leroy Hoberacker, both of whom are at school. Fraternally Alderman Kreider is a member of the Red Men; the Fraternal Order of Eagles; and "The Commercials." In religion he is a member of the Methodist Church.

Edward S. Kremp, lawyer, Reading, comes from an ancestry which had its origin in Alsace-Lorraine, several generations of the family having resided in Saar-Union, while under the jurisdiction of France, of which municipality his great-grandfather, John Kremp, a Chevalier de St. Louis (born Dec. 12, 1747, died Feb. 26, 1836), was Mayor from 1810 to 1819.

Xavier Kremp, grandfather of Edward S., was born April 13, 1791, and was a number of years municipal clerk of Saar-Union.

Dominic Kremp, son of Xavier, born June 18, 1832, came to America in June, 1850, taking up his residence in Reading, Berks Co., Pa. He dealt for many years in real estate but is now living retired. His wife was Matilda Leitham, Daughter of Martin Leitham, a prominent farmer of Bally, Berks country. To them were born three children: Mary E., Anna A., and Edward S.

Edward S. Kremp is a native of Reading, born Nov. 16, 1866. His early educational training was gained in the public schools of the city, and he later attended St. Vincent's College, at Latrobe, Pa., where he was graduated with first honors in 1886. Beginning the study of law in the office of Cyrus G. Derr, of Reading, he was admitted to the Bar in November, 1889, and has since continued to practice.

Mr. Kremp married, in 1890, Miss Elsie Boas, who comes from distinguished ancestry, being the daughter of Capt. E. P. Boas and Elizabeth Kupp, the latter the daughter of Major Henry S. Kupp, of Birdsboro, Berks county, who was provost marshal during the war of the Rebellion. Her mother, Rebecca (Morgan) Kupp, was a daughter of Colonel Morgan, the founder of Morgantown, Berks county, and the line here runs back to the Morgans of Revolutionary fame. To Mr. and Mrs. Kremp has been born one daughter, Augusta.

Mr. Kremp at one time owned the beautiful country seat known as "Ravenswood" in the suburbs, which was built by him, and he is the author of "Caws from Ravenswood," a booklet of poems which appeared in December, 1895, and which two months thereafter was translated into German by Professor Wilhelm Hartman.

Joseph P. Kremp, one of the best known and most successful business men in the city of Reading, son of the late Louis and Caroline (Prestat) Kremp, was born in 1854, in Berks county, Pennsylvania.

Picture of Joseph P. KrempHe was educated in the public and high schools of that city and later finished at Villa Nova College. After graduation, he entered his father's building association office, in which he obtained a thorough, practical training in the conduct of all branches of real estate, banking and insurance business. Later, he became interested in the manufacture of high class ornamental glassware, previously made only by expert artists and workmen in Europe and exported to this country. For this purpose he left his father's office to establish the Reading Glass Works, the pioneer American company in this line, and was appointed general manager. A modern plant was erected, but conditions were not conducive to making the enterprise a commercial success. It was therefore abandoned; and, in conjunction with his father, he incorporated the Reading Brewing Company, the plant being built on the site of the glass works. Mr. Kremp was made general manager, which position he held for eight years. He was notary public for the First National Bank and other banks of Reading (succeeding his father, upon his death, as director), and represented many of the leading insurance companies in this district. In 1882 he became interested in the Penn Butt Works as a partner with C. R. and A. A. Heizmann, with a one-third interest. Later, upon the consolidation of the Penn Butt Works with the Penn Hardware Company, his interests were transferred and he became a director in the latter company.

Mr. Kremp was a director of the Penn National Bank, the Pennsylvania Trust Company, and a member of the Board of Trade. He was also interested in a great number of building associations in Reading.

Mr. Kremp enjoyed an extensive personal acquaintance through the southeastern section of the State. He had many stanch friends who admired his social qualities and unswerving loyalty to his social and business ideals. As a business man, he was energetic and extremely broadminded. Although through his active efforts he gained a competency, on a number of occasions he sacrificed financial interests when in conflict with the high standard which he had set for himself and on which his business reputation was based. The city of Reading is not only indebted to him for the establishment of two important industrial plants which gave employment to hundreds of men, but also to his public-spirited citizenship in taking part in most important movements for the general welfare and advancement of the community.

At the time of his death in Reading, Oct. 31, 1902, besides his extensive professional and business occupations, he was a member of St. Peter's Roman Catholic Church, of the Catholic Historical Society of Philadelphia and of St. John's Society.

On March 4, 1887, Mr. Kremp was married to Laura Amelia Miller, daughter of Lewis Miller (mentioned just above), a former partner in the old Reading Iron Works, and the inventor of the well-known Miller cotton compress. To this union were born two children: Lewis, who having prepared at the Cascadella School, Ithaca, N. Y., became a student in the engineering department of Columbia University, N. Y.; and Marie Ada, pupil at the Academy of Madame of the Sacred Heart, Manhattanville, New York.

Mrs. Kremp has been actively engaged in works of commemoration and beneficence. Among other positions, she served as a member of the committee on Woman's Work to be sent from Berks county, Pa., to the Columbian Exposition at Chicago, Ill., in 1893; on committee of judges of the Women's Work at the International Cotton Exposition in Atlanta, Ga.; was first president of the Ladies' Auxiliary of St. Joseph's Hospital, Reading, Pa.; section president of the Needlework Guild, and on the Women's committee of the Sesqui-Centennial in Reading.

Louis Kremp, father of Joseph P., a well known citizen of Reading, was nationally famous at the "Father of Building Associations." At one time during his career, he was secretary of twenty-one separate institutions of that character, and regarded as one of the best real estate and insurance agents in the State of Pennsylvania.

The elder Kremp was born Oct. 26, 1820, in Saar-Union, Bas-Rhin, Alsace, France, son of John Kremp, for many years city clerk, and grandson of John Kremp, who had held the office of Mayor and was a man of More than ordinary influence. Louis Kremp obtained his early education in the joined his father as a partner in business, continuing with him until the spring of 1849, when with his wife he left for America, arriving in New York City on July 4th. At this time Mr. C. Wagner, a friend and school companion, was teaching Latin in Philadelphia, and on his advice Mr. Kremp removed to Reading, where he opened a notion store. In April, 1862, he was elected secretary of St. Peter's Catholic Church Beneficial Society, a very extensive organization.

In 1863 he was elected secretary of the Reading German Building & Savings Association, and assisted in organizing several branches. In 1873 he was elected alderman of the Eighth ward of Reading, by a large majority, but at the end of his first term declined renomination, at that date receiving a commission as notary public. Mr. Kremp was the founder of the Reading Brewing Company. He died March 15, 1896.

In September, 1847, in his native country, Mr. Kremp was married to Caroline Prestat, born July 2, 1828, in Fraize, France, who died April 2, 1883, daughter of Nicholas Joseph Prestat, a prominent man of his locality, who held a responsible position under the government.

To Mr. and Mrs. Kremp were born children as follows: Joseph P., Amelia T., Lizzie P., and Caroline E.

Frank L. Kreps is a plumber at Reading, Pa., whose establishment is situated at No. 40 North Sixth street. He was born April 30, 1865, at Salem, Ohio, son of Henry and Mary (O'Brien) Kreps.

Henry Kreps, father of Frank L., was also a native of Salem, Ohio, and there spent his entire life, and died in 1876, aged about thirty-eight years. His trade was that of a machinist, and he was for many years known as a skilled mechanic and successful business man. Henry Kreps was married to Mary O'Brien, who died at Norristown, Pa., in August 1896, aged fifty-two years, and to them there were born these children: William, engaged in the manufacture of silk at Paterson, N. J.; Frank L.; Charles, in the plumbing business at Fort Washington, Pa.; Elwood, a carpenter of Chester, Pa.; Ida, wife of William Schoffner, of Norristown, Pa.; and Katie, m. to Frank Bechtel, of near Coatesville, Chester Co., Pennsylvania. Mrs. Mary (O'Brien) Kreps was a daughter of George O'Brien, a native of a suburb of New York City. He was a machinist and a stationary engineer. His children were: Sallie, Elizabeth, Mary and John (who located at Chester Pa., and died in the early seventies).

Frank L. Kreps attended the public schools of his native town, and when twelve years old went to Delaware, later to Chester county, Pa., and finally to Philadelphia, where he learned the plumbing trade, following that occupation for about six years. At the expiration of this time he removed to Norristown, Pa., where for one year he was in the employ of the State Government, as a plumber, and the next year was spent at Phoenixville, where he was connected with the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. Mr. Kreps then spent six months at Pottstown, Pa., coming to Reading in 1892, where for thirteen years he was employed by the plumbing firm of Ed. Schull & Co. In 1907, Mr. Kreps engaged in business on his own account, opening an establishment at No. 108 North Eighth street, and later his present place, conveniently situated in the down-town district, No. 40 North Sixth street. He is a practical plumber, gas, hot water, and steam fitter.

Mr. Kreps was married to Maggie Garrison, of Reading, and their residence is situated at No. 108 North Eighth street. Fraternally, Mr. Kreps is connected with Aerie No. 66, F. O. E., of Reading, and he is also a member of the Master Plumbers' Association.

Rev. George Smith Kressley, A. M., Professor of Latin, Greek and German, in the Keystone State Normal School at Kutztown, Pa., was born Feb. 8, 1877, in the village of Rothrocksville, in Maxatawny township, Berks county.

Nathan Kressley, grandfather of George S., was a farmer and machinist. In early life he was a resident of Lowhill, Lehigh county, but later he removed to Maxatawny township, where he owned land, and where he engaged in agricultural pursuits. He is buried at Morgenland Church in Lehigh county. Mr. Kressley married Abbie Moyer, and they had these children: Frank, Percival M., Oliver, Amanda, Jane, Maria and Annie.

Percival M. Kressley, son of Nathan, was born in Lowhill, Lehigh county, Sept. 5, 1849, and died Feb. 21, 1906. He was a farmer in Maxatawny township for about twenty-eight years, owning excellent land near Rothrocksville, at which place he had engaged in the mercantile business for many years prior to engaging in agricultural pursuits. He was a good, representative citizen, and in political matters he was a Republican. On June 27, 1874, Mr. Kressley married Martha R. Smith, daughter of Stephen and Caroline (Smoyer) Smith, and to this union there were born these children: Rev. George Smith; Howard S.; and Annie S., a graduate of the Keystone State Normal School, class of 1907, and now engaged in teaching.

Rev. George Smith Kressley received his early education in the schools of Maxatawny township, attended the Keystone State Normal School, and then entered Muhlenberg College, from which he graduated in 1898. He later took a course at the Theological Seminary at Mt. Airy, Philadelphia, and graduated therefrom in 1901, being ordained a minister of the Lutheran Church in June of that year. Previous to his graduation from the seminary he had been appointed to the Department of Latin, Greek and German, in the Keystone State Normal School, in which capacity he has served to the institution. Latin is a part of the regular Normal course, but the school makes a specialty of regular college preparatory work, and Prof. Kressley has been especially successful in this line, having prepared during the short time in which he has presided over the department over fifty student for the various colleges of the country.

On Aug. 5, 1902, Dr. Kressley was married to Anna R. Fretz, daughter of Reed and Maggie (Landis) Fretz, of Bucks county, and to this union there has been born one daughter: Helen Elizabeth.

Early Land Operations

Land Titles -- Penn's Charter -- Naming the Province -- Treaties with Indians -- Acquisition of Lands to the Proprietaries -- Boundaries -- The Divesting Act -- Surveys -- Owners -- The Holland Land Company

The lands in the province of Pennsylvania were granted to William Penn by royal charter from Charles II, king of Great Britain, on the 4th day of March, A.D. 1681. Admiral William Penn, father of the grantee, died having a claim against the English government of sixteen thousand pounds, on account of money loaned and arrearages of pay. His son, William, presented a petition to the crown that, in lieu of such indebtedness, he would be content with a grant of a tract of land in America, which tract he fully described in his petition. After having consulted with the proprietaries of other provinces adjoining the lands applied for, the king ordered the charter, and the territory embraced by it was called Pennsylvania.

It has been commonly supposed that Pennsylvania was so named by the proprietary in honor of himself, but such is not the case, as the following extract from a letter addressed by William Penn to Robert Turner, will fully show: "I choze New Wales, being, as this is, a pretty hilly country; but Penn, being Welsh for a head, as Penmanmoire, in Wales, and Penrith, in Cumberland, and Penn, in Buckinghamshire, the highest land in England, call this Pennsylvania, which is the high or head woodlands; for I proposed, when the Secretary, a Welshman, refused to have it called New Wales, Sylvania, and they added Penn to it, and though I much opposed it, and went to the king to have it struck out and altered, he said it was passed, and would not take it upon him; nor could twenty guineas move the under secretary to vary the name, for I feared lest it should be looked upon as a vanity in me, and not as a respect in the king, as it truly was, to my Father, whom he often mentioned with praise."

The charter in its terms vested full and absolute ownership, and possession of the province in William Penn, and empowered and authorized him to govern the same, make such laws and regulations for the conduct of its affairs and people, as should be just, and not inconsistent with the laws of Great Britain.

After coming into possession of this vast estate Penn sold large tracts to persons in London, Liverpool, and Bristol. He appointed William Markham as deputy governor, and sent him to the province with commissioners to treat with the Indians, arrange a peace with them, and purchase their title to the lands.

Markham arrived in the province in the summer of 1681, in one of three ships arriving at that time with passengers and commodities. On the second day of April following the charter, the king issued a proclamation to the inhabitants of the province, informing them of the grant, and of the powers and authority vested in Penn, and calling upon them to obey any and all such laws and regulations as the proprietary should order.

So far from being a source of great profit to Penn the management of the affairs of the province soon involved him in a large indebtedness, and he was compelled to borrow six thousand six hundred pounds, and encumber the lands as security for its payment. At a later period he negotiated a sale of the entire province to Queen Anne, for the sum of twelve thousand pounds, and a part of the purchase price was paid, but for some reason the transfer was never made.

The first step on the part of the proprietary, or his deputies, on coming into actual possession of the province, was to negotiate with the Indians for the release of their claim to the lands. This was done by numerous treaties and conferences, from time to time, the larger tracts being acquired usually after some dissension or war, but this assertion relates only to the larger purchases or the time of their consummation. In stating the facts concerning these transactions with the Indians, only the occasions on which sales of considerable magnitude were made will be noticed, lesser ones being of no great moment, and not necessary in this chapter.

The first purchase from the Indians was made by Deputy William Markham and the commissioners, by a deed executed by the chiefs, or shackmakers, of the several tribes having or claiming an interest in the lands lying in what is now Bucks county, in the extreme east part of the province. Authorities so materially differ in spelling the names of the shackmakers who executed this instrument, that they are omitted. The consideration paid for the land was mainly in goods and merchandise, as follows: "Three hundred and fifty fathoms of wampum, twenty white blankets, twenty fathoms of strawd waters, sixty fathoms of Duffields, twenty kettles, whereof four are large, twenty guns, twenty coats, forty shirts, forty pairs of stockings, forty hoes, forty axes, two barrels of powder, two hundred bars of lead, two hundred knives, two hundred small glasses, twelve pairs of shoes, forty copper boxes, forty tobacco tongs, two small barrels of pipes, forty pairs of scissors, forty combs, twenty-four pounds of red lead, one hundred awls, two handfulls of fish-hooks, two handfulls of needles, forty pounds of shot, ten bundles of beads, ten small saws, twelve drawing-knives, four anchers of tobacco, two anchers of rum, two anchers of cider, two anchers of beer, and three hundred gilders (money)."

From this time to the treaty and sale made in 1736, there were numerous sales of smaller tracts made at different times and by different Indian chiefs; but at the conference made in this year (1736), October 11, the Five Nations chiefs seem to have been called upon to settle certain questions disputed by the resident chiefs. It will be remembered that the Five Nations conquered the tribes, descendants of the Lenni Lenapes, in this region, and by virtue of that conquest claimed the ownership of the whole territory. When called in the matter they seriously upbraided the resident Indians for presuming to sell the lands at all, and when they had done so they should have stood by the sale. The conveyance made at this time was executed by the Five Nations chiefs, and they confirmed the sales previously made. The territory embraced by it included that lands within the present counties of Adams, York, Lancaster, Chester, Delaware, Philadelphia, Montgomery, Berks, Lehigh, Northampton, Bucks, Cumberland, and parts of Franklin, Dauphin, and Lebanon.

The next considerable purchase was made in the year 1749. In the estimation of the Six Nations (for now the Tuscaroras were added), there were questions of great import to be discussed on the consummation of this sale, for word had reached them that white settlers were trespassing on unsold lands, and that proper representatives might be sent to the conference at Philadelphia, a council of the Six Nations was held at Onondaga, at which time the delegates were chosen. The Senecas arrived first, and having made a stop at Wyoming to inquire as to the trespassing, were fully informed concerning them. In addition to the Six Nations, the Delawares, Shawnese, and Shamokin Indians joined in the deed. The lands embraced by the sale include the present counties of Schuylkill, Carbon, Monroe, and parts of Dauphin, Northumberland, Columbia, Luzerne, Lackawanna, and Pike.

To convey a fair understanding of the facts regarding the treaties of 1753 and 1754, and the subsequent compromise agreed upon in 1758, it will be necessary to explain at some length. Some mention was made concerning this in an earlier chapter, and a full narration of the facts are here given.

In 1753, Canassatego and several others of the leading chiefs attached to the British interests, were dead, and the sachem at the head of the council of the Six Nations was known to be in the French interest, and the affections of that people appeared to be much shaken. Those who adhered to the colonists were threatened by the French, and Indian affairs looked serious. At this time the friendly Indians were unwilling to do anything that might give rise to suspicion regarding their fidelity. They remonstrated, but they did so without threats. They desired that our people would forbear settling on Indian lands over the Allegheny hills, and advised the government to call back the intruders; that none should settle on the Juniata lands till matters were settled between them and the French.

The treaty at Albany in 1764, with the Six Nations, was held by order of the king. The lords of trade and planters had recommended this, that all the provinces might be comprised in one general treaty to be made in his majesty's name, as the practice of each province making a separate treaty for itself, in its own name, was considered to be improper. The Indian deed was executed at Albany July 6th, 1754. Many of the Indian tribes (not referring to the Six Nations), seeing their lands gone, joined the French, and according to the address of Governor Morris, "it seemed clear from the different accounts he had received, that the French had gained to their interest the Delaware and Shawnese Indians, under the ensnaring pretense of restoring them to their country."

The lands embraced within the terms of the treaty included the hunting grounds of the Delawares, the Nanticokes, the Tuteloes, and the home lands of the Shawnese and Ohio Indians. Reference was made to the boundary line in the foregoing chapter (Chapter III). The controversy was finally settled by the compromise deed executed October 23, 1757, limiting the extent of the purchases of 1753-4, to the territory included within the boundaries of the present counties of Bedford, Fulton, Blair, Huntingdon, Mifflin, Juniata, Perry, and parts of Centre, Union, Snyder, and Cumberland.

The next considerable purchase was made at Fort Stanwix, N. Y., November 5, 1768, and this was the last sale of lands by them to the proprietaries. The consideration of this sale was ten thousand pounds. The tract of land embraced by this purchase was a strip of land extending from the northeast to the southwest corners of the province. The north boundary line extended through Clearfield county, following the courses of the West Branch on the south side thereof. This purchase embraced, in whole or in part, the present counties of Bradford, Susquehanna, Wayne, Lackawanna, Pike, Wyoming, Luzerne, Sullivan, Lycoming, Columbia, Montour, Northumberland, Union, Centre, Clinton, Clearfield, Cambria, Indiana, Armstrong, Allegheny, Beaver, Washington, Green, Fayette, Somerset, and Westmoreland.

In October, 1784, a treaty was made at Fort Stanwix between three commissioners of the United States and the sachems of the Six Nations, by which treaty a large tract of land was conveyed, not only in Pennsylvania but in New York. This sale included all the remaining territory in the State, not previously disposed of by the Indians. At the council the Marquis de La Fayette was present and made a speech, though not one of the commissioners. The chief, Red Jacket, was also there, but took no part in the council. Cornplanter spoke on behalf of the Senecas, but "Old King" was the recognized sachem of that tribe at the council. The purchase there made included in this State the territory embraced, in whole or in part, by the present counties of Bradford, Tioga, Potter, McKean, Lycoming, Clinton, Cameron, Elk, Clearfield, Indiana, Jefferson, Forest, Warren, Armstrong, Clarion, Butler, Venango, Allegheny, Beaver, Lawrence, Mercer, Crawford, and Erie.

The above treaty at Fort Stanwix was, in January, 1785, ratified and confirmed by a deed executed by the Wyandot and Delaware Indians at Fort McIntosh, which deed conveyed the same lands as mentioned in the conveyance of 1784.

The title to the small triangular tract in the extreme northwest corner of the State was acquired on the 4th day of September, 1788, by act of Congress, declaring "that the United States do relinquish and transfer to Pennsylvania all their right, title and claim to the government and jurisdiction of said land forever."

By the act of October 2, 1788, the sum of twelve hundred pounds was appropriated to purchase the Indian title to the tract. The deed from the United States of the above tract was dated March 3, 1792.

The proprietaries professed not to sell any lands beyond the boundaries of the purchases made from time to time. If surveys were made over them without their consent, they were illegal and void. To have departed from this principle would have occasioned wars with the Indians and resulted most fatally to the interests of the province; and would have been a gross violation of the sacred rights of the natives and of the promises made them. This provision was so strictly adhered to by the proprietaries that acts were passed by the provincial government positively forbidding such unlawful surveys, and providing a penalty for a disobedience of them.

By this it will be seen that if surveys were made on the north side of the West Branch, or the west side within the present boundaries of Clearfield county, prior to the treaty at Fort Stanwix, October, 1784, no title would have passed, nor could it be acquired by such survey; it would have been void. In relation to the lands on the south or east side, within the same limits, the same rule would apply had any such survey been made prior to 1768, unless made under the assumption that the purchase of 1754 was a valid one, and in fact included the lands as far north as the West Branch of the Susquehanna River.

William Penn died in the year 1718. By the terms of this will, which was dated in 1712, his lands, rents, etc., in the provinces, were devised to his wife, Hannah Penn, in trust to sell or dispose of so much of his estate as was necessary to pay his indebtedness, and then convey to his son by a former wife, forty thousand acres of land, and all the residue of his estate in lands in the provinces to his children by his second wife.

After Penn had made his will he had agreed to sell his whole estate in the province to the crown for twelve thousand pounds, and had in fact received a part of the purchase money therefor, and, although the sale was never completed by actual transfer, the serious question arose on the construction of the will, whether his interest in the estate was real or personal property -- if personal, it went to his widow -- if real, to his children. This question was a subject of many years of litigation in chancery, but was finally compromised, and the government of the province became vested in his sons by his second marriage, John, Thomas, and Richard Penn.

In the year 1732 Thomas Penn came to this country and took charge of the affairs of the province, acting for himself and his brothers, John and Richard Penn.

In the year 1779 the title of the Penns as proprietaries of the province was transferred to the Commonwealth under what is known as the "Divesting Act." The Legislature, on the 28th day of June, passed an act by which all the private estates, manors, and quit-rents throughout were reserved to the proprietaries; their other estates in land became the property of the Commonwealth, and the State agreed to pay the proprietaries the sum of one hundred and thirty thousand pounds sterling, after the close of the Revolutionary War.

In the territory now embraced within the boundaries of Clearfield county there were numerous surveys made at an early day, some of them prior to the Revolutionary War; but any extensive movement in this direction was attended with considerable danger. The Indians were not friendly, and the prospect of seeing their favorite hunting and fishing grounds occupied by the adventurous whites was exceeding unpleasant to them. Judge Smith, an old surveyor, ran off a considerable tract in this vicinity as early as 1769, and soon after the treaty at Albany, but not until after the treaty at Fort Stanwix did the rush begin. James Harris and a party made extensive surveys in the easterly and southerly part of the county. Some extracts are given from Harris's diary or journal, made on that occasion, October, 1884. The party were as follows: "William Brown, James Harris, G. Meek, David Milligan, Andrew Small, Daniel Beats, and Thomas Pierce. They were subsequently joined by John Reed, D. Alexander, and R. Alexander.

On the 23d they left Warrior Marks and crossed over to Moshannon and encamped for the night.

On the 25th made a survey for Mr. Brown of twenty-one hundred and fifty acres in pursuance of five warrants.

On the 27th left the forks of Moshannon and proceeded a nearly due west course about eight miles to Clearfield creek, just at the head of the narrows. Here they were met by Mr. Miller and two young men named Mitchell. The land here is described as an extensive rich bottom, a creek about thirty or forty yards wide, the upland not rich, but well timbered in places. On the 28th they met five men named Rickerts, who came to the camp and claimed by improvement a great deal of the land up the creek, and say they will not allow it to be surveyed. Mr. Canan made two surveys on the south side of the creek for Reed, Alexander & Co., the second including the mouth of a large run, and extending up the same about a mile. James Alexander's including the mouth of this run, is in John Gill's name.

"N. B. -- On the 28th George Meek killed one large buck, pretty fat, not unwelcome news to the company."

 The next day, the 29th, Mr. Canan began a survey on the northwest side of Clearfield Creek, above the narrows, but was compelled to quit on account of rains. On the 30th he surveyed on the west side of the creek and extended the line up as far as Rickerts's land. On the 31st Mr. Canan, John Reed, and William Miller were left to perform their surveys, and the balance of the party moved up to the forks of Beaver and Clearfield Creeks.

They encountered great difficulties here on account of fallen trees. The 2d and 3d of November were spent in surveying in the vicinity, but were obliged to stop on the 4th on account of heavy rains. On the 14th they depart and reached Chest Creek in search of lands warranted, which were located in June prior. After searching and surveying several days through snow and rain the party returned to Juniata.

The Canans made numerous surveys along the various streams of the county, some of them being made as late as 1802. In this year they came to the land bordering on Chest Creek, to run a dividing line between Fisher's and McConnell's claims, and settle interferences. They started at the "Scotch Cabins," in (now) Cambria county, at the point where the Indian road from Kittanning to Carlisle crossed Chest Creek, and followed the courses and distances of that creek for over thirty miles. They then came down to the West Branch, and thence down that stream. In the Canan party was the redoubtable Samuel Fulton, concerning whom further mention will be made.

Among the many other surveyors who, from time to time made surveys in this neighborhood, appear the names of Samuel Brady, the renowned hunter and Indian fighter, Daniel Turner, who was interested in surveyed lands from the Susquehanna to Milesburg, a large part of which were in this county. Turner first visited the county in 1794. William Anderson, for whom the creek of that name was called, was also one who became largely interested in land speculations here.

 There were many persons never residents, but speculators, who bought warrants and land claims in the county, many of whom held exceedingly large tracts. Of these there may be prominently mentioned the Holland Land Company, Nicklin, Griffith & Boon, James Hopkins, McConnel & Reynolds, James Yard, Gramer & Bates, John Keating, whose lands included nearly the entire township of Karthaus; the Keating lands, which bordered on the West Branch for many miles; the Mead tracts, Thomas Kitland, Jeremiah Parker, James Wilson, Samuel M. Fox, the Drinker lands, George Roberts, on Chest Creek, Joseph P. Morris, John Hallowell, Robert Morris, Walter Stewart, Rev. Smith, Archibald Woodside, jr., William Griffiths, of Burlington, N. J.; Wilhelm Willink and others, Henry Drinker, Archibald McCall, James and William Miller, Abraham Witmer, Peters, Rawle & Morgan, Phillips & Co., James C. Fisher, William Scott, of Trenton, N. J., and many others who owned and controlled tracts of various sizes and localities.

Of the foregoing mentioned land operators, there are none that have been more prominently before the people and the courts of the state than the "Holland Land Company," and "Wilhelm Willink, and others." The "Holland Land Company" and "Wilhelm Willink and others," are synonymous names.

 Legally, there never was any such thing as the Holland Land Company, or the Holland Company, as they were usually called.

The company, consisting of Wilhelm Willink and eleven associates, merchants and capitalists of the city of Amsterdam, placed funds in the hands of friends who were citizens of America, to purchase several tracts of land in the United States, which, being aliens, the Hollanders could not hold in their names at that time; and in pursuance of the trust created, there were purchased, both in New York and Pennsylvania, immense tracts of land, all managed by the same general agent at Philadelphia.

The names of the several persons interested in these purchases, and who composed the Holland Land Company, so called, were as follows: Wilhelm Willink, Nicholas Van Staphorts, Pieter Van Eeghen, Hendrick Vollenhoven, and Rutger Jan Schimmelpenninck. Two years later the five proprietors transferred a tract of about one million acres, so that the title vested in the original five, and also in Wilhelm Willink, jr., Jan Willink, jr., Jan Gabriel Van Staphorst, Roelif Van Staphorst, jr., Cornelius Vollenhoven and Hendrick Seye. Pieter Stadnitzki was also made a partner, though in an unknown manner. The title to the three hundred thousand acres of the entire tract was conveyed to Wilhelm Willink, Wilhelm Willink, jr., Jan Willink, and Jan Willink, jr., but the tract was not in this locality.

 The title to the vast extent of lands of this company, held as joint tenants, not tenants in common, but to the survivors, became the subject of long and serious litigation, but was finally determined in the United States Supreme Court in favor of the company. The lands of the company in this county lay mainly on the west and north side of the West Branch, in Chincleclamoose township.

Is Nothing In This World Sacred!? Processing The Split Of Hollywood's Least Convincing Couple.

By Joanna Robinson | Pajiba Love | July 25, 2012 |

I honestly did not until today truly believe that Twilight stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson were dating. So bravo to them for their private approach to their relationship. But in the wake of Stewart's infidelity and somewhat appalling public apology, (appalling in that this seems like such a private matter and I feel awful that she felt the need to make it a public one), I'm left feeling what? Apathy mostly. But if schadenfreude is your thing, please enjoy the batsh*t insane reactions of the "Robsten" fans on both Tumblr and in the comments of this
US Mag story. I'm absolutely positive that Courtney, our Sherpa in all things Gossip, will have a better take on this tomorrow.

Guess Who is the first British TV series to appear on the cover of "Entertainment Weekly?" Okay fine, that should be "which." But you get the idea. (MTV Geek)

Here's a round-up of the "7 Most Iconic Film Stills In Movie History." I dunno that I would agree. I'd definitely put Indy with the golden idol in there. What else did they miss? (NC)

Maria Bamford has a lovely piece on what it was like to shoot an episode of "Louie." If the FX show feels like something you've never seen before, there's a reason why. (Slate)

Vulture asserts that adding a Bane mask makes any villain look scarier. NEWMANNNN! (Vulture)

In this fantastic interview George RR Martin reveals the scene which inspired his entire epic. You have to admit, it's a damn good scene. (Blastr)

Making a damn good scene is Ewan McGregor squeezed tighter than a tube of Colgate into a leather jacket. (T&L)

For all you book and sci-fi movie lovers, check out the first few images of Tom Hanks and Halle Berry in the film adaptation of Cloud Atlas. Not since the flesh ports in eXistenZ have I been so unsettled by futuristic flesh. (CB)

You thought Zooey Deschanel and Natalie Portman invented The Manic Pixie Dream Girl? Ha! Here's a look back at 75 years of cinema's quirkiest fems. Caution, there's a video that starts automatically on this page so get your mute button ready, cubicle cuties. (Death And Taxes)

I stole this series of Abandoned Houses from Julie. Can you imagine the killer Pajiba House Parties we could throw? (100 Abandoned Houses)

The fact that Bill Hader is usually so good at keeping his sh*t together on "Saturday Night Live," makes this clip of him losing it during a dress rehearsal all that much more enjoyable. Also, nice wig, Hader. (WG)

Finally, Christian Bale visited the Aurora Memorial as well as some of the Colorado shooting victims. Puts that Robsten sh*t in perspective, yeah? (ABC)

FBI fires back, reveals just how screwed Donald Trump is in his Russia scandal

Yesterday, Donald Trump launched an unprecedented series of attacks on the FBI and its leadership. It was a clear attempt at scaring the FBI into backing down, as the bureau continues to work to expose his lifetime of crimes. Trump’s bitter and whiny tone suggested that he knows he can’t win this battle. Sure enough, the FBI fired back today by revealing just how screwed Trump truly is when it comes to his crimes being exposed.

Early in 2017 it was revealed that Russia had been laundering billions of dollars into a bank in Cyprus, then into Deutsche Bank in Germany, and then into the hands of clients in places like New York City. Combine this with the fact that Deutsche Bank has been loaning inexplicably large sums of money to Trump despite little hope of getting paid back, and it all makes sense. Russia took financial control of Trump by laundering money to him through Cyprus and Germany. Proving it, however, is trickier. That’s where the FBI comes in.

It was recently reveled that Special Counsel Robert Mueller seized Trump-related banking records from Deutsche Bank this fall. That’s half the battle. Today, The Guardian is reporting that the FBI has obtained Trump-related banking records from Cyprus, and has apparently had them since November (link). Based on the timing and the nature of today's article, it's fairly clear that the FBI itself is the source of this story. In other words, the FBI is firing back at Donald Trump by revealing that it already has proof of his money pipeline from Russia. The FBI has the Cyprus records, Robert Mueller has the Deutsche Bank records, and combined they'll prove Trump is in fact a financial puppet of Vladimir Putin. The FBI's message to Trump today is clear: 'It's too late to survive this. Instead of screwing with us, offer to resign in exchange for a reduced prison sentence while you still can.'

CEN-SAD FMs to meet in Morocco in June

Addis Ababa, Ethiopia (PANA) – The executive board of the Community of Sahelo-Saharan States (CEN-SAD), made up of Foreign ministers of the 28-member States, will meet in Morocco in June to discuss, among other issues, the re-organization of the regional body.

The Moroccan Foreign Minister, Saâd Eddine El Othmani, told the Moroccan News Agency (MAP) in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, that the meeting was aimed at taking measures to make CEN-SAD a more effective organization.

"CEN-SAD is an organization that needed reorganization and Morocco, while proposing to host the extraordinary meeting of the executive council of Foreign Affairs ministers, has suggested being part of the reorganization committee," said El Othmani.

He said that CEN-SAD headquarters and the Sahelo-Saharan bank for investment and trade would remain in Tripoli, the Libyan capital..

CEN-SAD, formed in February 1998 in Tripoli, is targetting the establishment of an economic Union based on a development plan that agrees with national plans of member nations.

It also aims at changing all policies restricting the free movement of people, capitals and goods within the member countries.

UN: WHO says Ebola challenges remain despite drop in cases

New York, US (PANA) - Latest indications of a drop in new cases of Ebola in West Africa should not be taken as proof that the killer disease has been defeated, the World Health Organization
(WHO) warned on Thursday.

In a weekly update, obtained by PANA in New York, the WHO stated that, "although we have just one confirmed case of the virus in Guinea and another in Sierra Leone, the major
challenges still remain."

It said that the one confirmed case of Ebola virus in Guinea and another in Sierra Leone was good news, noting that, "it is the lowest weekly total since March 2014, and also marks a third consecutive weekly decline in confirmed cases in both countries."

But, the UN health agency warned that, "the killer haemorrhagic disease (Ebola) is not beaten yet and that there is still a significant risk of further transmission."

It said that the main difficulty was tracing every single person who has come into contact with an infected carrier, disclosing that WHO has around 2,000 people under observation in Guinea and Sierra Leone.

According to the WHO, the single case in Guinea is a contact who it stated was "lost to follow-up", saying: "This individual is also likely to have generated a substantial number of further high-risk contacts."

As for the vaccine trial in Guinea, WHO noted that its vaccination trial in the country had shown initial successes, and will be expanded after positive results, adding: "From now on, the rVSV-ZEBOV vaccine will now be given to everyone who is been exposed to the Ebola virus, rather than on a random basis."

To date, Ebola has claimed the lives of 11,281 people, mainly in Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia, where there have been no new cases since 23 July.

Where To Find A Solid Example Of An MLA Format Research Paper

The research paper writing is one heck of a job even if you are a good student. You will be tested in a number of ways to show that you meet the requirements of the paper. One such critical thing to follow is the writing style. There are different types of writing styles and every university has their particular preference of a specific writing style to be used in writing the paper. One such popular writing style is MLA format. It is a standard format which has all the instructions as how to design different sections of your paper and even what font to use. If you are entrusted a task with MLA format, then you have to fulfill all the requirements accurately. If you fail to meet the requirement, then you can be penalized with several points deducted. This writing format thing can be a serious challenge and you have to try hard to get accustomed with all its fine details. One good way is to look around the web for different useful tips and tricks. Further, there are several guidelines available as well where all the requirements are given in a very organized manner. If you are not sure about the requirements, then the other option is to find a sample paper that uses the MLA format. This will surely make things easier.

Where to find MLA research paper samples?

The following are some useful points which will tell that where you can find the MLA samples:

  • Try finding a good sample at different research paper writing sites. They do have lots of samples which you can access free of cost.
  • Check in the library of your university as there are sample papers displayed for the students to refer. This surely will be of high quality and you can refer it without any second thoughts.
  • Ask your seniors in the institute or elsewhere if they can lend you a sample for a couple of days. If they are given good ranks, then their document would help you a lot.
  • Look for the academic blogs online and find out if somebody is discussing about MLA format or not. If not, then request the experts to share some useful sample.
  • Go to the social media sites and visit the academic pages to find a relevant sample.

Gmc S15 Pickup Fan Shroud

For you to keep your Gmc S15 Pickup cool, a rotor fan is used in combination with the car radiator to eject the generated heat by driving fresh air via the radiator to take the temperature away from the moving coolant. The fan shroud is a device fitted near the vehicle radiator fan that directs the air flow drawn by the fan thru the radiator, leading it to sport a more concentrated and beneficial cool down effect. With a Gmc S15 Pickup fan shroud, your motor vehicle will be able to cool itself more proficiently and stay away from its overheating.

With wearing out because of day by day use or blunders in installation, the fan shroud might get ruined and turn out useless. Switch the fan shroud in your Gmc S15 Pickup if you determine that it's actually worn-down. A compromised or lacking fan shroud signifies that your Gmc S15 Pickup car cooling assembly just isn't functioning as good as desired, enlarging the probability of overheating. The high-quality aftermarket fan shroud for your Gmc S15 Pickup is available to avoid the issues related to engine overheating like damage to various powerplant components.

You can uncover the right Gmc S15 Pickup fan shroud built by prime makers in the market like OMIX, OES Genuine, and Vaico only here at our online shop. We have the greatest assortment of car parts and accessories available on the Net, all to be obtained at very affordable prices!

PM Yingluck pledges to keep public debt level below 50% of GDP

BANGKOK, 27 January 2013  The Prime Minister has assured that the Pheu Thai-led government will strictly adhere to financial disciplines in outlining the borrowing plan for the country’s basic infrastructure projects.

Speaking on “The Yingluck Government Meets the People” weekly TV program, Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra reiterated the government’s plan to implement a set of national strategic policies for the 2014 fiscal year to move Thailand forward.

According to the Premier, these strategies involve various aspects, including the enhancement of the country’s competitiveness with an aim to turn Thailand into a middle-income country status, the reduction of economic, political and social inequalities, the promotion of economic growth with an emphasis on the quality of life, and the seeking of a balance of and the improvement of the state administrative system.

PM Yingluck affirmed that the government’s borrowing plan for more than 2.2 trillion baht would adhere to strict fiscal disciplines while affirming to keep the level of public debt below 50% of GDP.

Meanwhile, Transport Minister Chadchart Sittipunt said that the government has been pushing for the construction of the rail transport systemto help lower logistics costs in Thailand.

He added that the state investment in the high-speed train system, introduced to enhance the distribution of goods, is expected to proceed to the construction biddings for 4 lines, including Bangkok-Chiang Mai, Bangkok-Nakhon Ratchasima, Bangkok- Pattaya, and Bangkok-Hua Hin, before the end of this year.

American Masters

Rock and Roll Heart: Lou Reed

Preview: Season 11 | 30s

Reed was always at the forefront of American avant-garde music, beginning with creation of the Velvet Underground in 1965. Gritty and realistic, the brutal honesty in Reed’s lyrics and sound made him a cultural icon of the disenfranchised throughout the ’60s and ’70s. From punk rock to grunge, he has had an unparalleled influence on the American music scene.
