ELECTRIC RAILWAYS
FREIGHT CARRIERS

The sentiment in favor of electric
railways carrying freight is steadily
growing. This is a matter of the ut.
most Importance to large proportion
of the citizens of the state who will
be greatly benefited by large reduc-
tion in the local freight rates which
hey are now forced to pay It is of
particular Importance to the agricul.
turists, citizens of country towns and
storekeepers of country towns.
1.-The electric railways i'll every state
surrounding Pennsylvania are today
carrying freight, and the citizens have
! found it source of great saving, much
added convenience and strong factor
in contributing to the success Of bust.
ness in the suburban and rural dis
tricts.
Farm land near railroad freight sta
| tions commands much higher value
than farm land along trolley lines
remote from steam railroad stations;
if electric railways be granted the
| right to carry freight this condition
| of affairs will be reversed-farmers
living along electric lines remote from
steam railroad freight stations will in
stead of having to drive many miles
| every day to a steam railroad freight
station, be enabled to load their pro-
ducts on electric railways practically
at their front doors in many instances
fhic will fyix
age to that enjoyed by farmers living
near steam railroad freight station
they will have the added advantage,
however, of cheaper freight rates on
the electric railways-more frequent
freight service and quick delivery Of
freight. This should enhance the value
of all farm lands along freight carry
ing electric railways to figures far in
excess of the values of farms now ap-
proximate to steam railroad freight
stations
The freight consigned over electric
railways would also be delivered at it's
destination and not at central freight
depots from whence it would have to
be carried to it's ultimate destination
The storekeepers in the smaller towns,
and even cities of considerable size,
would be greatly benefited by direct
freight communication by electric rail
way from their store front with the
store front of the wholesaler from
whom they make their purchases. The
saving in haulage, as well as the saw
ing in reduced freight rates, will be
of enormous value to these business
men.

Have Private Tutors.

The vaccination tempest has partly
subsidized in Lock Haven, but the prob.
lem is still far from settlement. The
teachers continue to strictly enforce
the law, and pay no heed to the wishes
of the directors for liberal interpre-
tation when it comes to immune for
delicate children, says report from
Lock Haven. Each week few more
children are vacoinated, and re-enter
school, but more than third of the
full enrolment is still out. Some of
the well-to-do families, who decline
to permit their children to be vaccin-
ated, have established kindergartens
in their homes, and have engaged
private instructors.

CH|CAGOANS LOSE
FAITH IN BANKS
Continued from page one.

no bounds, and while no accurate esti-
mate can be made of the amount of
money withdrawn from the various
banks since the doors of the Milwau-
kee Avenue bank were closed it is ad-
mitted today that the amount will run
into the millions.
The Chicago Record Herald. in COM
menting on the lax methods employed
by the state bank examiner, says:
Bankers in the downtown district
have lost all patience with the loose
system of state bank examination and
are highly indignant that another dis
graceful failure is to be charged up to
the banking business of the CITY,
"Some of them state unhesitatingly
that the examiner and the state bank
ing department must have known for
months the Milwaukee Avenue State
bank was in bad condition. They recall
with bitterness the dereliction of the
department in the Bank of America
affairs which brought disgrace on the
whole banking fraternity, and some of
them declare that the state officials
have been equally negligent in the case
of the Milwaukee Avenue bank.
''They assert that proper examination
would have detected it's true condition
long ago, and that proper action in
Springfield would have stopped the
trouble at the start. 1t was this sort of
negligence on the part of the authorities
in the Walsh affair that induced the
clearing house banks to employ their
own examiner, whose business it is to
examine all the institutions having
clearing house privileges and report
directly to the clearing house COM
mittee.
Unfortunately that official has not
had time as yet to examine all the
banks in the clearing house. For the
lack of the services of such an official
the reputable banks have suffered not
infrequently of late through the opera
tions of the wildcat institutions that
have gone to the wall, with the state
and government examiners calmly look
ing on"

WOMAN NEARLY DIES
IN DENTISTS CHAIR
COCAINE APPLICATION CAUSES
COLLAPSE
Patient Sixty Years of Age Urges the
Use of Anaesthetics While Under
going Treatment and Fear of Pain
Almost Costs Her,Life

Through the use of cocaine to allie
viate the pain of a dental operation,
Mrs. NJ. P. Fitzpatrick, living at 1902
West First street, narrowly escaped
death yesterday.
Police surgeons at the receiving hos
pital saved the woman's life by close
margin.
Mrs. Fitzpatrick, about 60 years of
age, went to the dental office of DR..
C. A. Sherman, 42S1a South Spring
street, to have work done.
Dreading the pain, she asked for an
anaesthetic, but the dentist only used
cocaine, fearing to administer any
thing more powerful.
Shortly after the local application
was made to the patients mouth she
showed signs Of collapse and went into
convulsions. DR.. Sherman telephoned
to the police station and an ambulance
was sent to his office.
At the receiving hospital Mrs. Kill
patrick suffered several spasms, but
she was revived by the police surgeons
and was soon out Of danger.
Her condition was due, the surgeons
said, to a weak heart, which was af-
fected by the drug.
Miss Alice Fitzpatrick called at the
hospital and remained by her mothers
side until she was able to be taken
home.

TACOMA, Wash, Aug. 1.-THE fol-

the press of Tacoma last night and Is
self explanatory:

my Dear Mayor Wright-On July 12
a petty officer from one of the ships of
the Pacific squadron was refused ad-
mittance to public ball given at the
old Elks' hall for the sole reason that
he wore the uniform of the American
navy. The man was sober and well be-
haved. / know him to be of excellent
chara cter and in every way respectable.
"The United States ship Chicago
came to your city, and by your invita-
tion shared in it's celebration of Inde-
pendence day. I trust this celebration
on it's part embodied it's sentiments of
patriotism and of appreciation for those
who have undertaken to fight their
country's battles, but in view of this
piece of unwarranted snobbishness 1
am forced to entertain lively suspicious
"Unless Tacoma desires to serve no.

to bring the offenders in this case to a
sharp and public account.

NEW CANDIDATE
ENTERS FIELD
FIVE MEN WANT TO BE TIE
COUNTY TREASURER
c. |. Parker, a Deputy Auditor, Will
Go to the Convention Willing
to Accept the
Honor

C. 1. Parker, a deputy in the office
of the county auditor, has projected
himself into the campaign for county
treasurer and will go before the Re-
publican convention at Venice as a
candidate for the nomination. Parker S
candidacy was formally announced
yesterday, although there have been
rumors for the last two or three days
that he was contemplating such a
step. This brings up the list of can
didate for that office to five the other
four being Mark Jones' the incum-
bent; John N. Hunt, C. L. Heartwell
and Robert Wirsching.
Parkers candidacy serves TO COM
plicate the situation considerably, and
politicians around Republican head
quarters yesterday were kept busy
trying to explain its significance. The
theory of many of those who have
been keeping close track of events
was that it really was a move against
Jones and in favor of Heartwell or any
other candidate that makes a formid-
able showing in the convention,
Parker's chances of capturing the
prize for himself were generally be-
lieved to be somewhat remote, but his
opportunity to prove troublesome to
some of the other aspirants was con-
sideTed remarkably good.
May Have Strong Support
Just what the new candidates line
up will be remains to be seen, but the
fact that he has seen fit to come into
the field at so late a day was taken
as pretty conslusiVe evidence that he
has been assured of some rather pow
erful support. And the question that
is now worrying the friends Of all the
other candidates is how this support
will be switched in the event Parker
cannot land the nomination himself.
The theory that Parkers candidacy
Is move aimed directly at Mark
Jones is based on the knowledge that
an effort was made some time ago
to induce Jones to get out Of the field
in favor Of Charles Logan and that he

CHICAGO, Aug. 11.-Police today
were summoned to keep order at the
inquest into the cause of the death of
Frank Kowalski, teller of the Milwau-
kee Avenue State bank, who shot HIM
self yesterday evening at his home.
The feeling Of some of the deposit
tors in the defunct bank was so great
that the dead teller was cursed as his
body lay in the parlor of his
home. The wreath on the door of the
home was torn down and its flowers
scattered by the angry men.
Sergeant Hamilton, detailed at the
coroner's inquest, forced the disturb
ers into the street. A policeman wCs
then stationed at the door to prevent
any person not wanted from entering

refused to do so. Logan then was
slated for county recorder, but his
friends have not lost sight of their
grievances against Jones. The latter
has held the treasurership two terms
already, and the feeling has been that
he should get off the track. The friends
of both Hunt and Heartwell have
made good deal of capital out of
this fact, and now with Parker in the
race the outlook for the incumbent
becomes still more serious.
