1t is, a prosecution against any one re-
sponsible for the filing OF an incorrect re-
port OF moneys received and expended
by a state committee must be started
within sixty days after Election Day.
Since the law permits the reports oil
state committees to be filed within Sixty
days, 1t would be very possible for state
committee to hold up its report until the
very last minute, thus making prosecution
impossible. II, however. 1t could be
shown that some Of the subscribers
credited with. say, $50 or 500 had really
contributed more. then action for perjury
or grand larceny, or both. could Dc
brought at any time within two years.

WHITMAN HOT ON TRAIL
Of DEMOCRATIC 'BAGMEN'
District Attorney Also Learns
27 Road Contractors Contrib
uted to Campaign Fund.
TRACING "M." TELEGRAM
Girl Who Received Message
Hennessy Testified Came from
Mcclure Found-Corrupt
Practises Act Joke.

New evidence regarding the activities or
the "bagmen" during the state campaign
of 1912 was brought to light yesterday by
District Attorney Whitman. lie 1ounu
that between October IA and November z
of last year twenty-seven road contractors
contributed sums ranging from Sloo 10
81 900 to the Democratic State Committee
and that In the same period some or the
so-called "bagmen" contributed the pro-
ceeds of their collections to the COM
mittee.
From the list filed by the Democratic
state Committee in 1912, which purported
to include all the moneys received from
subscribers to the Democratic state cam
palgn fund, the fact was apparent, those
who saw the list declared, that the
"sandbagging" OF road contractors was
carried out with all possible skill.
An analysis OF the report OF the Demo-
cratic State Committee for 1912 shows that
of the 1913. S37 43 It received s5O'7OO was
credited as having been obtained from
twenty-five individuals, the names OF
Thomas Fortune Ryan and George W.
Plunkitt appearing on the list. Other
contributions were s67.S4o from the Demo-
cratic National Committee and 1870
from the "bagmen."
$500 From Road Contractors.
This left s7s,oe1 40 TO come from gen.
eral subscriptions, and OF this sum littlo
less than 10 per cent. or $500 was alleged
to have been received from twenty-seven
road contractors.
A striking feature OF these road con-
tractors subscriptions was the fact that
in 1911, when Tammany had no club 10
swing over their heads. only two road
contractors contributed, and in 1910 only
one.
Tho twenty-seven and the amounts they
are credited with contributing follow:

To Raise the Mccall Dam.

Rumor has it that the Pennsylvania
Water and Power Co.'S great dam at
McCall's Ferry. will be heightened fifteen
feet by the erection of mechanical top
to take the place OF the splash boards
now in use. Safe Harbor village would
thus be almost wiped out and The level Of
the Susquehanna raised almost as far as
Washington borough, and the Big Cones
toga spread out above the level of It's
banks. perhaps as far up stream as Rock
Hill, in Lancaster county.
The mechanical top" is steel and
concrete combination to be placed on the
dam. at cost Of a half million dollars.
Between the piers will be gates Of steel.
which can be raised or lowered at will.
In high water these gates will be raised
and the water will pass off.
The placing OF this top on the dam.
will extend the boat run four miles up the
river, and with very little expense viii
make the river navigable for light motor
boats. from Washington borough TO Nc
Calls Ferry. Columbia NAV even be
reached, with little blasting and dredg-
ing.
With the completion Of this mechanical
top the power company will be in posi-
ton to place three other turbine units.
there being now seven in operation.
or in course OF building, making ten units.
and enable the company to increase its
horse power to 10000 for at least eigh.
months in the year, and probably through
out the entire year.-Delta Herald.

WATER WORKS COMMENCED.

The Rising Sun water works project.
which has been on the tapis for the past
two years. is finally under way and work,
on the erection of the standpipe is being
done this week 1t was at first planned
that Hugh T. Downing, of Delaware, who,
made business of organizing and con-
Quoting water companies in small cities
and towns. build and'operate water and
electric light plant in Rising Sun Finan-
cial aid sufficient for both enterprises was
found to be lacking and the town agreed
to take $1,000 worth of the stock in the
enterprise. After many months waiting
its developed that the town would have to
finance the whole project which the COM
missioners finally agreed to do on the
water proposition alone. The material
was ordered and a portion Of it delivered
when legal opinion decided that under the
present charter the town could not borrow
money for that purpose. Until the char
ter can be amended by the next legisla.
ture, the Town Commissioners have obli-
gated themselves personally for the am
cunt necessary and on this basis work is
progressing, with the expectalion that
the plant will be in operation by the mid.
die of September. An agreement has
been made with Mr.. Downing whereby
he. is to superintend the construction on a
commission to,be determined on percen-
tage of the cost. The John w. Miller
property. east of town, has been purchas.
ed for a pumping station and the stand-
pipe is being erected on H.C. Cummings
livery stable property. The tax rate in
Rising Sun has been advanced from 80
to 50 cents on the $Ioo to meet the expen-
ses of construction.
1t has been asserted that insurance
rates on town property would be consid-
erably lowered to Offset this increase and
unless this is done the water project alone
will not be agreeable to majority of the
citizens. as the vote was taken by the
taxpayers on water and light both, some
wanting water. others light, and some
both or neither. It is hoped that event
ually both water and light may be pro-
cured for the town at the so cent tax rate.
Meanwhile, in justice to the Town
Commissioners. we desire to state they
are doing the best possible under adverse
circumstances, and have shown sufficient
public spirit to obligate themselves per-
Isonally until the charter can be amended.
