TREASURY TANGLE.
Treasurer Declares That He Will Act
Only on Decision of Supreme
Court.

The correspondence between Gov.
ernor Stuart aud Attorney General
Todd i'll reference to the State
treasurership, in which the attorney
general advised the governor that
the latter could appoint successor
to the late John A. Stober, State
treasurer-elect, who never took the
oath of office, has created a great
deal OF comment on capitol hill.
The State department was elated
holding that the attorney generals S
opinion was exactly in accord with
hat expressed by that department
when the matter was frs! mention
cd after Mr.. Stobet's death, and
there were others who held that the
attorney general could make no
other decision under the constitu-
ton, which gives the governor the
right TO appoint.
One thing is certain: The mat
ter will have to be settled finally by
the supreme court before State
Treasurer Sheatz will act, and an
other thing equally certain is that
Treasurer Sheath will not take the
initiative i'll proceeding in court.
That he will leave for the COVER
nor's appointee to do through the
attorney general, and it is under
stood that the attorney general is
ready and willing to undertake the
legal task.
In proof of Mr.. Sheatz'5 position
he issued the following statement,
announcing that further he will
not talk.
You have asked me what l have
to say about the opinion given by
the attorney general to the Cover.
nor as to his authority i'll the APP
polntment OF my successor.
"Of course, you know very we'll
that no individual opinion can pos
sibly settle any question of this i'm.
portance. The supreme court of
Pennsylvania is the only tribunal
that can decide the question of
whether a vacancy exists or not in
the office of the treasury after IL
o'clock on May end. l understand
that the supreme court, in all prob
ability, would not consider this
question until that time does arrive
as no concrete question can be pre-
sented to them before then. l am
told, however, that the supreme
court might permit this case to be
brought before them almost i'm
mediately after IL O'Clock noon of
May second, and all early decision
rendered. Until this decision is
handed down the question will have
to remain unsettled, but under no
circumstances will I enter into any
contest to told this Office one hour
beyond the time for which the
people commissioned me to safe
guard their funds, neither will I
permit any one to enter upon the
duties OF this Office until the sup
RENE court has passed upon the
question of authority to qualify
man to become the custodian of the
millions of dollars of State moneys
for which I am bonded 10 the ex-
tert of $500, 900.
Il wNs elected by the people to
be their State treasurer from the
first Monday in May, 1908, for two
years. or until my successor had
duly qualified. This latter clause
was part of my oath of Office and is
also embodied in my commission,
and l shall respect it to its fullest
extent. D."

It has long been the hope Of the tele-
phone engineer successfully TO construct
a cable that would satisfactorily carry
telephone messages for great distance.
While open" wires-that is, those pairs
Of exposed wires strung on poles-trans-
nit the messages satisfactorily. they
become bulky when used in large num-
bers. and are easily placed out of service
during sleet storms.
Until ten years ago or so, cables were
used only in cities and large towns, and
even there their use resulted in electrical
difficulties which greatly lessened the
advantages Of inelosins the wires in
cables
Invention Works wonders.
However, about ter years ago there
was invented a process by which it was
a'ade possible TO use telephone cables
over long distances This invention was
revolutionary in its effect on telephone
work, and the Bell Telephone Company,
through its use has been able to extend
underground cables from New York 10
Philadelphia, from Philadelphia 10 VII
mington and between other large cities.
The Bell Telephone Company, with its
well-kncWn aggressiveness and wisdom
saw the Importance Of This invention, and
used every effort in its power to develop
it into q commercial practice, and hay
ing done so. to give the heneft Of 1t 10
its subscribers As a result of this,
stormproof service over long distances
has been extended into areas where, hf-
teen years ago such service would have
been out Of the question.
First Practical Submarine.
The first submarine cable using this
method of operation that has ever been
installed II this country, and the first
practical one in the world, has been in
stalled across Chesapeake Bay to serve
Bell Telephone subscribers in Delaware
and on the eastern shores Of Maryland
and Virginia in their service with Balti-
more and Maryland.
This cable was developed by a corps of
expert engineers in Chicago. New York,
Philadelphia. and Baltimore-a corps
or fifteen or twenty qigh-grade men VINO
spent two or three months working on
its development, The result is that
across Chesapeake Bay there is now the
best submarine cable in the world-a
cable which makes telephone conversation |
from Baltimore TO Cape Charles or other
peRinsular points equivalent to a con |
versation over land line fifty miles |
shorter than by way OF the former
route.

only has this cable been laid. but adj
