HIDE MANY MISTAKES
Safety First Committee Makes
Valuable Discovery at Sun
bury Shops

In recommending a new floor be-
meath four lathes in the Pennsylvania
Railroad machine shops at Sunbury a
safety first committee made valuable
discovery. Beneath the old planks was
found nearly 1000 pounds of scrap
iron. This iron. it is said, represents
mistakes made by macninists, who
dropped the iron through hole in the
floor to avoid trouble.
Since this discovery at Sunbury all
holes found in floors of the Pennsyl-
Vania Railroad machine shops. it is
said, will be closely scrutinized. Fol
lowing the discovery at Sunbury a
number of machinists attended din
ner. at whic hempIoyes told of another
hole through which much valuable
iron had been dropped during the past
twenty-five years. The iron found in
clude broken tools. defective bolts and
parts of machinery for engines and
cars, many pounds of nuts with
broken threads and parts of small
wheels.

such took notes from farmers and
others with whom he dealt. These he
turned into the bank where Binner dis
counted them. Many, it is said, may
be worthless unless Kieffer makes
good. Horst is a cigarmaller and two
years ago bought much leaf tobacco.
His obligations are said to be personal
notes drawn to pay for the tobacco.
He has farm and tobacco warehouse
valued at more than $4,000.
Kept Two Balance Sheets
So bad is the condition of books in
the bank that little can be learned OF
the true condition of affairs for weeks.
1t was a one man bank. Binner was
cashier, teller, clerk and had not taken
a vacation in two years. He had re-
fused assistance although a clerk was
offered him. The condition of the
books indicates that he kept two bal
ance sheets, one for his own dealings
and the other for the board of direc-
tors.
