SEVEN VACANCIES
ON POLICE FORCE
Department Finds Difficulty in OBJ
tanning New Men to Take
Examinations.

The District police department is fac
ing a serious predicament. There are
at present seven vacancies on the force
and only four persons who have qualified
to take the examination for appointment
as policemen.
Thirty-four applications for appoint
ments were recently received at the Dis
trict Building, but when the prospective
policemen were subjected to rigid physi-
cal examination only five passed. One
OF the men was an applicant for appoint
ment on the railway crossing squad, so
that there remain only four persons 10
take the educational examination.
This examination will be held under
the direction of the Civil Service Com
mission probably next week.
The persons who pass the educational
test will be placed on the eligibility list
for appointment on the force. The su-
perintendent OF police will then imme-
diately recommend to the District Com
missioners the appointment OF the neces-
sary number OF policemen.
An official OF the police department
yesterday afternoon gave a plausible eX-
PLANTATION OF the difficulty in obtaining
policemen. His explanation was brief
but pointed.
Mechanics are finding plenty OF work
now" he said. "and wages are good.
too. That's why IL is so dlfficult 10
get new men for the force"

DIR. WILEY HITS "DoPERs.p
Gives Vigorous Testimony Before
Pure Food Board.

Dr. Harvey w. Wiley yesterday appear
ed before the pure food board as a pri-
vate citizen. and indicated that he had
just as much pep in him as ever. DR..
Wiley appeared to advocate more strict
regulations for the use and sale Of habit
forming drugs. and during the course Of
his remarks referred TO certain manufac-
turers as "dopers."
John ]. Queeny, who represents a st.
Louis firm, objected. and he and DR..
Wiley had a heated argument, Mr..
Queeny insisting that DR.. Wiley should
withdraw the word. We are respectable
manufacturers" said Mr.. Queeny. "and
did not come here to be insulted. 1 think
the board should compel DR.. Wiley TO
withdraw his remarks"
II refuse TO withdraw it." responded
DR.. Wiley.
However. DR.. Wiley consented to with
draw the term ''dopers," but said that
he would call them manufacturers OF
poison
For that Is what you yourselves are
willing TO have these drugs and prepara-
tons containing them called"
DR.. Wiley opposed many Of the sugges-
tions OF the National Wholesale Drug
Association, whose representatives were
given the hearing yesterday.

PENNSYLVANIA
RAILROAD
II
The Recreation Of Traye!

A Woodworking business
man on a two-hour trip by
fnely-equipped train, said:
1T is a positive pleasure to
me when l make this trip. 1
feel a sense of freedom and
mental holiday, which l can
find nowhere else. For the
time being l am like a boy
out of school, and there is an
added zest to the short recess
from business cares in the
comfortable surroundings and
the constantly changing
scenes"
In the comfort and ease that
the best type OF railroad cars
furnish to-day a great many
people find that a railroad trip
is a distinct recreation. 1t diff
fers from life in a hotel only
in the absence of the palm
garden and the orchestra, but
has the added charm of pleas
ant motion with the constantly
changing panorama of natural
scenery.
1t is a fact that change and
rest" is needful at times, and
one in search of it will find
the first sense of it on a we'll
appointed railroad train. The
change is instantaneous and
continuous; the "rest" is pro-
vided in the comforts and con-
veniences of limited train.
Nothing has done so much
in later years to raise the
standard of railroad travel
from a dread to a pleasure as
the high grade of equipment,
with corresponding appoint
ments and the safeguarding of
passengers by every means
that skill and capital can de-
wise.
From the time when the
Pennsylvania Railroad intro
duced the first limited train in
1881 to the present day prog
ress in the line of making
travel attractive and popular
has never faltered.
Ask the traveller of forty
years ago to compare the
present methods with those of
the past, and you will appre-
ciate how fortunate it is to
live and enjoy travel in these
days.

right at Emergency Hospital.
He went to his death without uttering
n word about the tragedy in a little room

ruary, when policemen broke open the
door and discovered his unconscious form
beside the lifeless body Of Viola Stock

FornsheIl showed signs of life and was
removed to the hospital. where physi-
clans found he Lad chance to live,
suffering from a wound in the jaw and
neck, where a bullet had destroyed sew
eral teeth. shattered the jawbone. and
lodged behind the ear. The bullet was
extracted the next day.
Held as Murderer.
A coroner's Jury which sat at an IN
quest over the body OF the Stockwell
woman held FornsheIl as her murderer.
and a policeman was detailed 10 guard
the man until he could recover sufficient
" TO appear before the grand jury. The
police were confident Fornshell would be
adjudsed guilty Of murder. and they re-
gard his death as a trick on the gal
lows.
FornsheII had known the woman he
killed for about six years. She had wor-
ried him to the verge of madness. max
ing his life miserable and causing him
to lose several situations, many friends,
and the love of others near and dear to
him by continually pressing her unwel-
come attentions. He had argued and
pleaded with her in vain, and then he
threatened her. TO no avail. Finally he
bought a pistol and went to see her.
Four shots Heard.
They drank a bottle OF beer together
while the woman played with a little
Pomeranian and a phonograph played a
popular song. Then Fornshell removed
his hat and coat. placing the coat on
Davenport and taking a revolver from
the pocket. He faced the woman. There
was a short struggle. Four shots were
heard. Then the coroner was called.
Fornshell was forty years old, had been
a bartender for years, and gave his ad-
dress as gSl e street southwest. Viola
Stockwell was thirty-six years old and
claimed TO have relatives in Camden,
n. j., which she called her home She
had been here about ten years and was

Washington. Fornshell had been mar
ried, but had not lived with his wife
for years.

MERGER PROVED VALUABLE
Beet Sugar Man Says Consolida-
tion of Factories Helped.

Chester S. Morey, president Of the Great
Western Sugar Company, continued his
testimony yesterday at the hearing in the
governments suit for the dissolution OF
the American Sugar Refining Company
being cross-examined by Charles w.
Waterman, counsel for the defence.
The consolidation of the six Colorado re-
fnenes Of beet sugar was accomplished
without any secrecy or attempt 10 deceive
the stockholders. Mr. Morey said. H. o.
Havemeyer came out on a special train,
examined the properties. and the consoh-
dation was then carried out. The concen-
tration proved 10 be of great value. he
said. as was shown by the fact that the
six factories in the year before consolida-
ton produced 10000 bags OF sugar, of 100
pounds each, while in the season 1910 II
they produced l,462,o00 bags OF equal weight
IN the case of isolated refineries the beets
contracted for were complete loss in case
of an accident which crippled the machin-
cry of the factory, Mr.. Morey said. and
therefore II was desirable that the plants
should be built in groups.
He also said the development Of the beet
sugar industry has enabled the producer
TO now make beet sugar in every respect
equal TO cane sugar. The differential which
was still maintained in the price OF the two
sugars, he explained. was due to trade con-
ditions Dealers required at least five kinds
OF sugar-granulated, cut loaf, and at least
three of the sixteen grades of C. or brown
sugar. Beet sugar was manufactured only
In the granulated form. he said, and there
fore they could not supply the other kinds

NOT A BANKRUPT, HE SUES
Abraham Kassel Asserts Two Banks
and Three Men Damaged Him $500, 600.

Abraham Kassel. formerly real estate
man and also proprietor OF a large poultry
business, filed a suit in the Supreme Court
Yesterday for $4,000 against the German
Exchange Bank, the Germania Bank and
others alleging that they Joined in bring
ing unfounded bankruptcy proceedings
against him. This action said Kassel,
caused him to lose several pieces of real
estate and otherwise ruined his business.
Part Of the damage is for the injury done
10 his good name.
The other defendants are Benjamin kas-
sewitz. Jesse Jede ard Lass. These three
men. Kassel alleged. pretended to hold
provable claims against him, and they,
with the banks sued "maliciously and
without probable cause" filed petition In
involuntary bankruptcy against him.
Judge Hough. Of the United States Court
appointed a receiver for Kassels property.
The claims asserted by Lass. Kassewitz
and Jedel the plaintiff said. were IN
reality held by others. and they instigated
the proceeding against him TO harass him
and destroy his business and credit.
The special master in the bankruptcy pro-
ceeding reported that Ksssel was not a
bankrupt and had not fraudulently trans
ferred any property.
