ON REBATTNG CHARGE
Two Indictments Against Com
pany Being Prosecuted Here

The Pennsylvania Railroad is defendant
on two indictments for alleged rebating
OH bituminous coal shipments in favor of
the Glen White Coal and Lumber Com
pany. in proceedings begun this after
noon in the United States District Court

Hampton Barnes and James Large have
been preparing the railroads defense
United States District Attorney Kane and

ceedings are expected to last several
days.

think 5000 acres is too much. We were
not consulted here at all about the plan
of merging the two penitentiaries. That's
all care to say about it."
HANIFEN CONDEMNS MERGER.
John e. Henifen, treasurer of the Board
of Prison Inspectors, was not so reticent.
He condemned the merger, on the ground
that relatives of prisoners will not be able
to afford the railroad fare TO Bellefonte,
and thus prisoners will not be visited as
frequently. He says the members of the
Board Of Prison Inspectors are almost
unanimously against the merger.
GOVERNOR DEFENDS ACT.
The Governor contends that 1t will save
the state each year more than three
quarters OF a million dollars and that
ideal living conditions may be provided
for the convlcts. The new prison will be
known as the State Penitentiary of Penn
Bylvania. Governor Brumbaugh answers
the argument that 1t will cost too much
for relatives of prisoners TO visit the
prison by declaring that 1t is equally
difficult now for relatives in the central
counties to 80 to Philadelphia. He also
points out that the sale of the sites will
yield the State a sum in excess of that
required 10 start the new prison.

Without concessions by England no sat

United States, in dealing with the ques-
tion of how a modus vivendi can be found
which gives Justice to all, observes real

neutrality would, at the same time best
serve American interests. We are firm in
the confidence that the relations between
Germany. and the United States will
smooth the road to complete under
standing and so help righteousness and |

The Lokal Anzeiger and the Berlin |
