Rural Service Short S6,O00,00O.
Machens Extravagance Costs Uncle San
That Much More for Fiscal Year.

Congress at its next session must
authorize deficiency appropriation oI
$6,ooo.ooo or the establishment ci
rural free delivery routes must be
suspended from January I to June 80,
1904.
The astonishing discovery has jus,
been made by the postoffice authori-
ties that half of the $I2, 900 ap.
proprlated for the rural free delivery
service during the present fiscal year
has been anticipated. Only sufficient
remains to continue the development
of the system during the current cal
en- dar year.
August w. Machen, former super
lntendent of the service, now under
indictment, is held responsible for
this condition. He practically mort
gagged the appropriation for the cur
rent fiscal year by establishing routes
during the last months of his incum-
bency. More than one-half OF the
appropriation will be required to carry
routes already established.
Postal officials are irritated at the
way George w. Beavers has been
permitted to evade arrest. They are
perturbed over the action of the au
tl.orities of Brooklyn, and do not
hesitate to so declare themselves when
talking in private. District Attorney
Youngs comes in for criticism. 1t is
considered strange that person un-
der indictment is not at least served
with notice of the indictment, par
ticularly when his whereabouts are
declared to be known. The suspicion
is held by many that strong inhueno e
has been exerted to stave off the ar

State Will Build Roads.
State Highway Commissioner Hunier is
Mapping Out Plans.

State Highway Commissioner Hun
ter is mapping out plans to put into
operation the Improvements ofcounty
roads pursuant to the act of April IS.
1903. For the next two years the
department will have an annual appro.
pria,ion of $500, 900 to commence the
work.
Already three counties have forward
ed applications for share of the fund.
They are Crawford, Snyder and Mer-
Ger counties. These requests specify
the highways that the counties wish
improved. A number of others are
preparing statements of the improve
ments desired. They are Chester,
Montgomery, Bucks, Tioga, York,
Lancaster, Huntingdon, Indi ana, and
Lebanon counties.
Commissioned Hunter will take no
action until all the counties in the
state are heard from, IN order to get
length OF mileage each county wants
improved, and then the allotment will
be made in proportion until the ap-
preparation is expended.
Mr.. Hunter stated to the Harris
burg Pahi0fS representative that he
expected all applications would be
received within the next month and
not more than two weeks later the
work would he started
Bids will be sent out to contractors
in the counties for estimates on the
work, the lowest responsible bidder
receiving the contracts.
Commissioner Hunter said that the
roads, as rule, would be macadam-
lied, but if counties desired a more
expensive highway improvement it
would probably be granted but the
amount of work would be curtalled.
One matter to be considered, he
said, was the character of travel on
the roads. 1t heavy traffic was in
tended the road would have to be
built stronger than ordinarily.
The department is not yet thorough
ly organized, and books, blanks and
stationery have not been supplied by
the state printer. There will be two
more appointments made in the Office
a chief clerk and a stenographe.r
These additions to the force may be
made by the governor within the next
month.

RIVER COAL.

The Danville Morning NeaOs says
THAT "Mr. LeDuc is meeting with
good success in extracting coal from
the North Branch. He is operating
with his finely equipped digger on
the river below town. He puts in
pretty full time and succeeds in OBJ
|taining FIVE to seven tons of coal
per day.
Mr.. LeDuc finds it to his advant-
age to keep the digger down the
river, as good deal of time would
be lost daily in bringing it up over
the ripples. The coal is unloaded
at point nearly opposite Lovers
Leap and hauled up to town in
wagons. s."
At Northumberland several coal
J 1diggers are in operation taking coal
from the river bottom, and have
been doing so for years. AT Dan
vile it seems that from five to seven
tons day are obtained. Why
would't it pay at Bloomsbury The
river is wide, and ordinarily suffi-
ciently low so that a digger could
be operated more than half the year.
If there is coal in large quantities at
Northumberland and Danville, there
ought to be more at Bloomsbury
and points further up. River coal
is said not to be as good as coal
from the mines, but it can be OBJ.
tanned at lower price. During the
strike last fall 1t was used in large
quantities at about half what dealers
were charging. 1t is subject
worth investigating.

WITHDRAW PROTECTION
Notify Employers Not to Anger strilS-
ing Toledo Transfers on
Rampage.

TOLEDO, O., March 10-After four at
tacks had been made today on nonunion
teamsters a member of the Toledo Carriage
association declared he would make ap-
plication for state militia to protect the
associaticn's men and interests.
Today has been one Of intense excitement.
which was heightened this evening by the
strikers declaration that a general strike
will be called and no Toledo freight handled
by teamsters in any part Of the country.
The trouble began at noon, when a mob
OF 400 strikers and sympathzers followed
a truck through the principal business
streets, endeavoring TO knock a nonunion
driver from his place. They also attempted
to do violence to Manager Turner of the
Moreton Truck company. Both men we're
saved from serious injury, however, by the
police.
Later the police gave notice that any fur
ther provocation given the strikers would
be the fault of the employers and they
would not interfere. However. when an at
tempt was made to throw a lnonunlon driver
into the river the authorities saved him.
Not half an hour later aRpther nonunion
driver was torn from trttR and at the
point of a revolver, compelled to run for
his life. A similar fate befel a nonunion
tion.

PRIESTS LEAD A FACTION
Fourteen Break Away from the
Church of Rome in the
Philippines.

ROME, March 10.-Another report from
Archbishop Guidi, the apostolic delegate in
the Philippines. has just been received at
the vatican. 1t gives a fuller account Of
the religious condition Of the islands
The schism started by Agliya the leader
OF the Independent Catholic church in the
Philippines, seems graver than It first ap-
peaTed, as, according to the report, a strong
Filipino party is raising false hopes among
the natives Of independence from Rome
claiming that the expulsion Of the friars is
indispensable in order to obtain the inde-
pendence Of the country The apostate
priests are fourteen in number.
1t is gathered from good sources that the
vatican is extremely well satisfied with the
prudent and wise but at the same time
energetic action Of Archbishop Guidi, who,
with persuasion. has succeeded in checking
the dissident movement.

CONSPIRACY CASES BEGIN
Assistant states Attorney Makes
Opening Statement I'm Court
in Chicago.

CHICAGO, March 10.--Assistant States
Attorney Barnes made the opening argu-
ment in the coal conspiracy case today.
He told the jury that the penalty for an
illegal act injurious to trade was FIVE years
in the penitentiary or ANIME OF not less
than $1,000.
There are sixteen counts under these
indictments" he said. "and conviction on
one Of them means a verdict Of guilty.
"All OF the corporations save one, Of
which w. S Boyle is president, have mines
in Indiana. Once a month each sent a rep
resentative to Chicago and the price OF coal
was fixed. The men who refused to go
into the combination or who withdrew from
it after they found out Its nature were
made to suffer loss of business by illegal
methods which we're the result of a con-
spiracy."
Ex-Judge r. NJ. Wing. IN behalf Of the
defendants, declared there had been no
combination in restraint Of trade and that
his clients mined but one-tenth OF the coal
mined in Indiana. He spoke at length upon
the interstate aspect of the case and then
the state called it's first witness. Max Eich-
berg, president of the wabash Valley Coal
company, who said he was one Of the sign
ers of the agreement drawn by the defend
ants.
He said an iron-clad fombination ex-
listed between the Indisnt coal operators
and the Crescent company by which all
coal mined in Indiana was sold only
through the Crescent compAny. He was not
allowed to make any contracts with out
side parties.
Late this evening Mr.. Eichburg con-
cluded and the state closed it's case.
1t is expected that the case will go to
the Jury tomorrow.
