CHARLES n. TREATS OFFICE HAS
PROVED HIGHLY PROFITABLE
TO THE GOVERNMENT

With view to overhauling the methods of trans
acting business prevailing in the customs service
at the principal ports of the United States. Sec
retary Gage has of late been keeping close tab on
the Internal Revenue office of the Second District
in this city. It IS said he will adopt many of the
methods in use in Collector Charles H Treats
office The cost of collecting the internal revenue
is only 81 % per s1OO while the cost of collecting
like sum in the customs service is said to be about
So IA. 1t is said Secretary Gage has in view
number of changes that will greatly reduce the
cost OF doing business in the customs service.
People who have been under the impression that
the customs service is the governments chief
source Of revenue make a mistake. The figures
for last year show that while the government
ceived S3S 164S 81 through the service. the
internal revenue system turned in 1926, ,327, ,927.

ECCENTRIC
STRAP BROKE
PrediCament ola D. L. & W. Passenger
Train.

There was good deal of excitement
along the line of the ID. l.. d w. rail
road Tuesday forenoon, especially at
this city. Train No. 715 west, engine
No. 420, due here at 9.09 a. m, which
passed Catawissa on time failed to reach
Danville. The mere fact of the train
being late at first caused little comment.
but as time passed on and half an hour
elapsed it was known that something
serious had befallen the train. Inquiries
began to pour into the Danville station
from the dispatcher's office at Scranton
and other points, but all the information
that could be given was that the train
lay stranded somewhere between Cata-
wiSsa and Danville at some point re-
mote from either place and consequent
Iy out of the reach of the telegraph.
The train, which passed Catawissa at 9
o'clock, at II had not yet reached this
city.
Long before that hour, however, ex-
ctement began to run high. Not only
the waiting passengers, but the attaches
of the station as well kepr their eyes riv-
eted with long and anxious gaze upon
the mile or so of idle track extending
eastward.
The train delayed upon making Nor
thumberland usually returns after
short stop reaching Danvile at 1919 a.
m. Owing to its non-arriyal Tuesday
train 704 with a made-up crew took the
place of No. 7l5 on the upward trip.
Shortly before its arrival, however, the
regular train emerged in view and came
laboring down the track in way that
indicated that it had met with an acci-
dent. The facts were soon learned.
As the train under full speed struck a
sharp curve nearly midway between Cat
awissa and Danvile the eccentric strap
on one side of the locomotive snapped
in two. This had the effect of disabling
the engine on one side, leaving but one
set of driving wheels to haul the train.
The engine jumped and jolted, i'm
parting the same motion to the train,
which together with application of the
emergency brake shook up the passengers
considerably and caused great conster-
nation. Probably no one was more bad
ly frightened than Express Messenger
Cobb who when discovered was endeav-
oring to climb out through the trap door
in the roof of the car
AS soon as the train was stopped the
crew set to work patching up the break.
After working an hour they were able
TO proceed slowly. Their plight was first
discovered by the crew of an engine sent
down from Catawissa, which arrived
just as the crippled engine was ready to
resume its trip.
RailrOaders say it is almost a miracle
that the engine did not leave the track
considering the nature of the accident,
the presence of the sharp curve and the
rate of speed attained. An accident at
that point might have been attended
with fearful loss of life.
