Large Gathering.

The commencement exercises of Thur
mont High School is each year attracting
larger crowds of people and this year, in
our opinion, was record breaker, the
Hall being filed to the outer doors. Con-
siderable annoyance was occasioned by
some of those in the rear talking and 60
ing in and out. Little heed was paid to
Prof. Beachley when in the midst of the
exercises he asked for order. In all prob
ability admission to these exercises will
by card in the future.

Local Items.


The County Commissioners have raised
the tax rate 41 cents over last year. max
ing the county rate 99A cents, whether
this is abnormaly high, it cannot now be
ascertained, but the county statement
should point to the items making the in
crease necessary.

The stairs leading to the rear entrance
Of Town Hall is in very bad condition
unsafe for anyone to go up or down. The
Town Council rents the Hall and collects
the rent, why not have the steps and rail-

loss of life through negligence on the
part of the town authorities in all prob
ability would cost many times the price
of repairing these steps.

OUR ASSOCIATED CHARITIES

The Associated Charities organi-
zaJion of this city is beginning to
set down to real work under tn
earnest leadership of the Rev. c. r..
w. Kegley and other ministers AMI
tymen whose hearts and hands IA,
open and ready to serve in any great
public uplift
The Associated Charities merits
general attention and interest, being
organized to dispense charity along
wise, intelligent and practical lines
and to correct the evils OF common
beggary Not only the poor but the
community at large is benefited by
a systematic direction of philanthro-
pic aid and assistance.
1t is not always the mendicant We
meet on our streets that stands most
in need of aid. His plea for help is
more often cloak OF false pretense
used as an excuse for idleness or a
means of imposition. To discrimi-
nate between the worthy and the un-
worthy, to render assistance whe.
it is needed and to expose and gc,
rid Of the lazy, worthless profes-
sional beggars, are real service
which the As ociated Charities rem
ders to any community in which it
is established.
Thorough investigation is made
before its benefactions are dispen-
sed and the amount and kind of help
needed is also decided upon so tina
The funds contributed to it's main
tsnAnce are never wasted but d.
the most possible good in the relief
OF human suffering.

Government Customs Employees to Be
GaunL14 in Eader,I Mat

Caught in Federal Net.
Washington, Nov. 17.-Twenty- tw o
assistant weighers of the New York
customs house are known to be i'm
plicated in, or under positive suspic-
ion, in the so-called sugar trust
frauds.
This was stated by Chairman Black
and Messrs. McElheny and Washburn
of the civil service commission in
answer to charges to the effect that
the appointments and removals at the
New York customs house were at die
tum of the trust.
The statement given out by the
commissioners was largely argumentG-
tive, designed to show the care taken
in the preparation and rating of the
examination papers, how under tho
methods in vogue it is practically i'm
possible for the commission examiners
in Washington to show favoritsm in
rating. the authority being given the
appointed officers to examine
thoroughly into the antecedents of the
ehgibles and power to remove if it was
believed they had grounds therefor.
Altho no official confirmation could
be had today either from the customs
officials or from United States District
Attorney Wise. the report is persistent
that indictments have been found
against number of government
weighers alleged to be connected with
the weighing frauds of the American
Sugar Refining Company. The belief is
becoming general that a congressional
investigation of the New York Gus
tom house will be ordered.

charging him with embezzlement ana

plea of not guilty and his bond was
fixed at $4,000, the same amount at
which it stood prior to his Indictment.
The four men, however, who had come
to his assistance when he was first
arrested were not in evidence to renew
their pledges. 1t had been reported
early in the day that Warriner would
be unable to renew his bond and would
be compelled to go to JAIL and this re-
port was verified.
At about O'clock none of his friends
had appeared. Warriner was taken 10

CONSOLIDATION OF AMERICAN

FoREcAsTED.
POSTAL COMPANY NOW
CONTROLS MUCH STOCK
is Largest Single Stock Holder in
American Telephone-Western Union
Has Been in Bad Condition Since
Recent Strike Mackay Companies
Control Postal.

New York, Nov 17-The report that
the controlling interest in the Western
Union had been obtained by the Amer
lean Telephone Company andwould lead
toa closer community ofinterest between
those companies and the Postal Tel
egraph and probably the ultimate mer-
ger Of the three was given color today
when the telephone officials frankly
said the Postal was the largest single
stockholder in their company.
That the absorption of the Western
Union by the big telephone concern
would come in time has long been ap-
parent. The Western Union has been
a financial weakling, it's earnings
dwindling pitifully during the recent
strike of its employees and its stock
selling far below it's face value. Amer
lean Telephone, on the other hand, has
been strong and aggressive. 1t has had
the most powerful financial backing
and has so spread out as to control the
telephone business in all the leading
cities in the country. When it started
after the Western Union it was only a
qoSoIioll VI lllllG when lle COQlfO
would be secured
The capitalization of a central COM
pany to, include all these lines of COM
munication would have to amount to
several hundred millions of dollars. The
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company has an authorized issue o1
sS00,000,D00 of stock, of which about
$25O,o00,00o is outstanding. There are
also outstanding about $50,0OO,OOO OF
bonds convertible into stock, and in
addition s53,0O0,OOo of collateral trust
bonds and s25,000,0OO of notes.
The Western Union has an author.
lied issue of s1O0,0OO,O0O of stock an6
bonds amounting to about $3S, 700, 900
The capitalization of the Postal Com.
pany is absorbed in that of the Macke,
companies, which corporation has s41,.
100000 in common shares and s50,O00,.
900 in preferred.

FAv0Rs CENTRAL PLAN
Former Director Of tho Mint Roberts
Advocates Proposed Central Bank in
Address Before Bankers Meeting, as
Most Feasible Method.

Kansas City, Nov. 1e.-George E.
Roberts. president of the Commercial
National Bank of Chicago, addressing
a meeting here today, declared himself
in favor Of the proposed central bank
plan, which, he said, offers a more
comprehensive treatment of the cur
rency problem than any other plan.
He says it provides abundant elas-
ticity, under responsible control; pro-
vides fiscal agency for the govern
ment thru which it's enormous collec-
tions and disbursements may be
handled with the least disturbance to
the money market, and would give un-
ity and cohesion and elasticity to the
entire banking system, which can be
given in no other way
