Mckinley told another peddler to
bring his measures up to standard or
they would be condemned. why,
there were more dents in that fellows

Spanish cruisers our navy sunk off

can get all those dents out I'll let him

Mckinley is to begin at once to

ADMITS TO CHARGE.
Bond Issue Establishes Mini
mum Valuation Of L., III.
& P. Plant.
MOVE A SHREWD ONE

That the Indiana public utilities
commission would not have authorized
the Richmond Light, Heat and Power
company to float an SS50,000 bond is
sue unless it regarded the company's
plant valuation to equal at least that
amount, and that bankers required
the commissions approval Of such
bond issue as a guarantee that the
bonds totaled the valuation Of the
plant, was the frank admission of
Mnager J. B. Wharton of the local
corporation.
This substantiates the charge that
by its action the commission has
placed itself on record as considering
the valuation of the Richmond Light,
Heat & Power company's plant to
have minimum valuation of $3.50 600,
although the commission has never un-
dertaken a physical appraisement of
the holdings of the local gas and elec-
trical company to ascertain its true
valuation, as 1t did in the case of the
local water works company.

ing corporation of the local company
have slipped over foxy" move on

Suffrage Sympathilers
AlDait Self-Denial Day

Harrisburg suffrage sympathizers
are taking a keen interest in the self
denial" day which the national society
has suggested for August Is. Scores
of women have promised to do with
out candy, sundaes and trolley rides on
that day; some of the men have prom
ised to abstain from auto rides for one
day and to give the money saved in
gasoline to the suffrage treasury. Quite
a sum is expected from cigars that
were not smoked-and from similar
sacrifices. Some of the members of
the Central Pennsylvania Woman Suf-
frage Association are planning to fol-
low Mrs. Medill McCormick's example
and to earn money on that day by
some unique method. The local treas
ury expects to gain quite an amount
for campaign work.
