PAUL KUNKEL
NOT COUNTED
OUT BY COURT
So Says DR.. Clark, One of
the Officials in the
Contest

DR.. w. P. Clark. presiding at big
Republican rally in Dauphin last even
ing, took a hard fall out of Paul A.
Kunkefs cnarge that he had been
counted out FOUR years ago when the
Dauphin County Court decided Michael
T.. Strohp and not he had been elected
district attorney.
AS deputy prothonotary 1 sat
throughout the count made by the
Dauphin County Court and 1 know it
was fair count and l know that it
showed that StrouD and not KunkeI
was elected" said DR.. Clark
kunkel has been using the contest
CT four years ago between himself and
Stroup for the purpose of making
campaign capital for himself this year
and has implied in his literature that
the count was not fair.
DR.. Clark said that as deputy pro-
thonotary he had always found Stroup
a capable prosecutor and perfectly
fair, in all his dealings.
Mr. Stroup himself attacked the
ksnkel allegations, repeating the
declaration he made the night pre-
V1ous in Harrisburg that Kunkel in de-
claring he had been counted OUT
and had been Soaked for the COSTS
did not injure Stroup, but did very
SeIlouslS reIleCI on the honesty and
integrity of the Oauphin County Court
Mr.. Stroup made a very strong reply
also to Kunkers contention that Stroup
should not be given a second term
For the past thirty-one years at
least" said he, "and l know not for
how much longer, you people of Dau-
Ihin county have been accustomed to
give your district attorneys two terms.
l have made record in the Office that

commend. They have not one criti-
cism to offer against 1t. Why, then.
should I be made an exception to the

Military Guard For
Democratic Committee

Charleston, S. c., Oct. 16.-Military
guard was provided to-day by order
of Governor Manning for the meeting
of the City Democratic Executive Com
mittee, which was broken up here yes
terday by a shooting scrap in which
one man was killed and four injured.
The committee was attempting to
count the ballots of the recent Demo-
cratic municipal primary to determine
whether Mayor John p. Grace or his
opponent had been nominated for
mayor when the shooting was begun
by an unknown person in the COM
4uittee room.
Police, deputy sheriffs and local
ilitary company soon dispersed the
c 'owd, both in the building and on the
s. reefs outside, and prevented further
d sorder.
Governor Manning then ordered
ndlitiamen to guard the committee
when 1t resumed its task to-day.

Newspaper Blunder
Causes Many Grins
in Political Circles

The Democratic candidates for Coun-
ell, Gorgas, Royal and Copelin, having
been caught with the goods" in the
matter of giving campaign contribu-
tions to the Democratic gangsters who
put through the ,so-called fusion"
slate at the primaries, their newspaper
champion rushes to their rescue to-day
with much clustering, but no excuses.
The whole matter is treated as a
good joke in local political circles. The
Democrats We're caught in their own
little trap the aforesaid newspaper
champion having made the funny
blunder of accusing the awful Repub-
licans of having done just what their
own little whitewashed angels were
on record at the Courthouse as having
done.
Between grins to-day politicians
were wondering whether Democratic
Chairman Jones is going to meet the
requirements OF the corrupt practices
act by making public how the contribu-
tions were spent or whether he prefers
to break the law by concealinE the
uses to which the money was put. It
is said that not a little of the Demo-
cratic Councilmen's contribution went
to help put through the county slate,
which wouldn't be very pleasing to the
city candidates If they learned of II.

His Company
Shecial 10 The Tclsernhh

Philadelphia, Oct. 16. - Ownership
of the Pennsylvania Steel Company,
which operates the big works at Steel
ton. Pa, and the Sparrows Point Ship
yard. is to pass to the interests headed
by Charles NJ. Schwab at prices for the
stocks which make the properties cost
S49.535.000
At a special meeting yesterday the
board of directors of the Pennsylvania
company authorized the sale, on terms
arranged in negotiations which had
run through some days, Of s17.131. 900
of the total s31.31O,500 stock owned
10y the PENNSYLVANIA Railroad interest
for some years. No official announce
ment OF the deal is yet made.
Sale of control of the Cambria Steel
Company through the stock market is
approaching completion. The Donner
party will get this property at a valu-
alton of over $50. 1000 for the
$4,000, 900 outstanding capital stock,
so far as can be figured at this time.
il is expected that big financial and
development plans will be carried out
with the Cambria Steel Company as
soon as the transfer of control is COM
pleted.
Cambria Steel Deal
Following the PENNSYLVANIA COM
pany board meeting Henry Tatnall.
financial vice-president of the Penn
sylvania Railroad. went to see William
II. Donner, president of the Cambria
Steel Company. who holds an option
on a further $500 shares of the
stock, to he paid for at such prices as
can be obtained from any other buyer.
In the end market quotations are
likely to fix the price at which this
block of stock will change ownership.
Action taken more than a year ago
by Samuel Rea, president of the Penn
sylvania Railroad. has worked out so
that the system of which he is head
XS-liZes about S6.000.000 more in the
le of its big interests in steel prop
Nties than would have been obtained
year ago.
Mr.. Rea made Il deal which put Will
liam H. Donner on his mettle to win
for himself a s1.000,O00 accomplish
ment prize In winning it, as he did
last month. when he got Sc, $50 shares
OF Cambria Steel stock at $50 per
share. Mr.. Donner first had to create a
situation which has enabled the Penn
sylvania COMPANY to sell from its bal
ance hold of 593.S22 shares of the
stock at prices which have averaged so
far close to $40 per share, it is under
stood.
Its Increased Profit
Thus the Pennsylvania stands to
win $40 to SEQ per share more for
nearly 100000 shares of its holding
than it would gladly have taken year
ago for the 100000 shares then
owned.
When, at the suggestion of Presi-
dent Rea, the two blocks of Cambria
Steel stock were optioned to Mr.. Dom
ner, the market price was below par.
To the option on the second block was
tied a second condition. When he took
i at what anyone else would pay Mr..
Donner was obligated to buy at s37
per share for the common and be-
tween SS4 and $50 per share for the
