HARRISBURG, May PA delegation of
the State Firemen's Association appeared
before the Governor to-day, in the hope of in
ducing him to approve the bill allowing
cities and boroughs portion of the tax on
gross premiums collected by foreign in
surance companies in this State. This tax
is now per cent, and has netted the State
between $500, 900 and $4O0, 900 year. The
new revenue bill reduces the tax to per
cent. 40 -E
The Governor vetoed an act very similar
to the one which he is asked to sign by the
fremen, except that it indicated the purpose
to which the money derived from the tax
should be applied, namely, to aid disabled
fremen. The present act is not 90 specific,
but 1t is generally understood 1t has the
same object in view.

A PROTEST PROM THE POPE.

He Reiterates His Charges Against the
secular Government Of Italy.
ROME, May A.--The Pope, in his allo-
cution at the consistory to-day, protested
against italian legislation hostile to the
charitable institutions Of the Catholic
Church. The proposal to erect monument
in memory Of Giordana Bruno, who was
burned as hereto at the end of the six
teenth century, was denounced by the Pope
as an outrage upon religion.
His Holiness also referred to the recent
Catholic Congresses, holding that these
gatherings proved that the Roman ques-
ton is an international one.

NEW HAVEN, May PA profound sem
when it was learned that there was heavy
shortage in the accounts of the Merchants
National Bank, which would probably
reach 500, 1000. The shortage was discoy-
cred by Bank Examiner Cooley in his ex-
animation yesterday. John G. Bradley and
Charles W. Palmer, cashier and assistant
teller, were soon learned to be the parties
responsible for the deficiency.
This card was issued this afternoon by
Ex-Governor Bigelow, President of the Me-
chanics' National Bank:
To THE PUBLIC-Certain irregularities
have been found in the bank, involving
cashier and assistant teller. There will
probably be q considerable loss to the bank,
which will not, however, impair its capital
HOW IT WAS DONE.
SIT is not yet aseertained whether these
officers have been the benefeiaries of these
Irregularities, but notes have been dis
counted which were not presented to the
Board Of Directors for their approval, and
the loss on this class Of paper cannot at this
moment be stated"
Mr.. Bigelow subsequently said: ''I do
uOb buC CublEC NS4OV,OVVI Will
be lost and hope that it will not exceed half
that amount, and - -"
Teller Palmer has made full confession
of all the transactions, but this cannot be
obtained tonight. Palmer is interested in
the manufacture of patent medicine and
one story current is to the effect that he bor-
rowed considerable money to extend his
business, and being unable to meet this pay
ment tided over by discounting notes for the
parties Of whom he had borrowed money.
WORSE THINGS SUSPECTED.
This practice, it is stated, was discovered
by Cashier Branley, but Palmer induced
him to keep it quiet, promising to take up
the notes as fast as they became due. Fail
ing to do this, other notes ware discounted
until the cashier and teller became deeply
involved and were compelled to keep quiet
for their own safety. The general opinion
tonight is that the affair is much worse
than the bank officials care to admit.
Cashier Branley is spending the night in
the sheriff Office, and Palmer is at his own
home in charge of a deputy. Bradley is
about 30 years of age, and is very popular.
He was prominent in church circles, and
was also prominent in military circles Pal
mer is about 40 years old, and has been
with the bank nearly 20 years.

The "Halleluiah" chorus from the oratorio
The Mount of Olives" (which appeared about
1904 Is too well known to need comment.
From Beethoven's only opera, "Fidelio" (com-
posed from 1906 to 1Sl6), the first selection Is
the overture, know as "Leonore, No. g." which
was written for the revival of the opera some
years after its first production, and has in turn
been supplanted by fourth overture. Mrs,
Lehmann-k x alisch will sing the great dramatic
the rapturous duet in which Leo71ore and FZor
estdn rejoice over the termination of his
sore trials and her self-sacrifcing endeavors to
free him. The prisoners chorus is stirring
movement for male voices. From the superb
incidental music written by Beethoven in 1909
for Goethe's drama "Egmont" (How strange
that Goethe himself did not like Beerhoven's
setting!), are taken the massive, heroic over
ture and the two important songs of Claerchen.
"Die Trommel Geruehret" and "Freudyoll und
Leidvoll." These will be sung by Miss Juch,
who, with Miss Won Doenhoff, Mr.. Kalisch and
Mr.. Fischer. will also assist In the ninth SYM
phony finale, that most crucial of vocal compo-
sitions.
THE SECOND PART
of the programme is devoted to the Choral
Symphony ID minor; op. 1857, last and great
est of the Immortal Nine" which is widely
held to be absolutely the greatest musical
work ever written. DR.. Won Buelow, for in
stance, not long since gave it twice in success
sion in a single evening, because as he said, no
other work is worthy of place on the same
programme with it'll That may have been
straining the point, but certain it is that the
first performance in Pittsburg of this colossal
work tonight constitutes, from a musical
standpoint, the most important event of the en-
