Psparations for moving during the

Commission in Washington About
200 railroads concur in the arrange
ments for handling the summer travel
cast of the Mississippi river
These facts and others are brought
out in statistics compiled by the Penn
sylvania railroad in preparing for the
summer, when approximately 90,000,-
600 passengers will be hauled on the
lines Of its system. A large majority
of these viii be excursionists. Special
rates are named to S04 pleasure re-
sorts this side of the Mississippi The

try places are included in this num-
ber
In its efforts to stimulate travel,

mington. Philadelphia and Pittsburg,
Will this year have its special train
excursion to the seashore, mountains
and Niagara Falls The manner in
which the railroads actually scour the
country in their endeavor to increase
travel Is aptly shown by the arrange
meuts which the Pennsylvania has
made for these excursions, for each
of which special rates are named
from about $50 stations In addition
arrangements have been perfected for
a large number Of special local ex-
cursions between various stations
Excursions are usually for but one or
two days.
An important feature Of the ar
rangements for summer travel on the
Pennsylvania covers personally con-
Quoted tours to Lake George, Niagara
Falls, Thousand Islands, Yellow Stone
Park, California. Gettysburg and
Washington, in addition to a number
of other far-away points I'm North
America. These tours are made un-
der the direction of the Personally
Conducted Tourist System of the
Pennsylvania railroad
Inducing people to ride on DAYS
when equipment is plentiful is what
the railroads are doing in their sum-
mer business this year This is
shown I'm the fact that nearly all OF
the Pennsylvania special excursions
start on Thursday. a day when equip
ment is not needed for weekend
travel, and the day when the average
housewife in the small towns takes
her leisure. Inquiry at the Pennsyi-
vania's passenger department de-
velops the fact that every Thursday
in the summer is taken up by excur-
sions.

MAKE FORMAL DENIAL.
Commissioners Issue Statement De-
nying the Serious Charge.

AS might have been expected, the
charges made by Representative Bennett
created great excitement. both in the
House and at the District Building.
After returning to their Offices, Com
rnissioners Johnston and Judson at once
sought Commissioner Rudolph and COM
muncated to him the substance of the
episode in the House. After a long con-
ference the Commissioners issued the
formal statement which appears in an
other column.
Commissioner Rudolph. at his residence
last night, discussed the incident fur
Their, following up the joint statement of
himself and his colleagues with the as
Scrtion that he knew personally of no
instance where any large property was
under-assessed. He explained that the
members of the board Of assessors were
appointed to serve for life. and that he
believed there could be no incentive for
them to stretch the law in favor of
wealthy residents. Mr.. Rudolph said
that there were constant complaints con-
corning alleged assessments of property
beyond the real valuation, and that
citizens were often given hearings pend
ing the adjustment of such matters. He
pointed out that the law requires the
assessments to be at least two-thirds of
the valuation Of property. and said that
to the best OF his knowledge and belief
it never went under two-thirds for any
body

safe, inexpensive, home treatment discov-
cred by Dr. Blosser. who for over thirty
six years has been treating catarrh sue
cessfully.
His treatment is unlike any other. 1t is
not a spray. douche. falve. cream. or In

treatment than any of these. 1t cleans
out the head, nose, throat. and lungs so
that you can again breathe freely and
sleep without that stopped-up feeling that
all catarrh sufferers have. 1t heals the
diseased mucous membranes and arrests
the foul discharge. so that you will not
be constantly blowing your nose and
splitting. and at the same time 1t does not
poison the system and ruin the stomach,
.as internal medicines do

DISTRICT ASSESSOR
REFUSES TO TALK
Other Members of the Board
Scout Bennett Charges.

District Assessor w. P. Richards.
when asked last night to make a state
ment regarding the charges made by
Representative Bennett said that he
knew nothing about the affair. but that
he understood vicious attack had
been made against two members of
the Board of Commissioners, and that
he would rather they answer it.
Il know what instigated the attack"
he said. and l refuse to discuss it,
Matthew Trimble. member of the
board of assessors, said that he was of
the opinion that the statement made by
Mr.. Bennett was not true. If it is the
impression that favoritism exists" he
said, the statement is untrue. Every
real estate taxpayer in the District is
assessed relatively and alike, without
regard to his social or political stand
ing
Samuel T. Kalbfus, also member Of
the board of assessors. said that the
statement, credited to Representative
Bennett that the rich people paid less
taxes than the poor people was I'M
worthy of notice. I'VE hear these things
all the time" he said, but they are
never proven. These attacks generally
emanate from some sorehead."
Assessor Alexander Mckenzie said that
he had read the statements made by
Representative Bennett. and had dismissed
them at once Il do not believe" he
said, that Mr.. Bennett has any informa-
ton on the subject. There is no truth
in his statement"
