BANKS TAXES TAKE SUDDEN
JUMP AFTER A PROBE
Municipal Judge Moran yesterday
decided that the Industrial Savings
bank, 2007 Blue Island av., would
have to pay taxes on 100000 worth
of personal property. The amount
the county will receive is $3.50.
Many months ago the board of as
SCISSORS met and fixed the personal
property of the bank at $4,000 They
added to this a $4,000 penalty and
then turned the appraisement over to
the board of review. J.
Fred Block was a member of the
board at that time and he knew
something about the Industrial Saw
ings bank. He called in Harry A.
Dubia, president of the bank. who sd-
mitted, in Bloch's Office, that the
bank had between $4,000 and $780,
600 worth of personal property.
Asst States Atty Morris Schaffer
yesterday compelled Dubia to admit
this on the witness stand.
The bank did not fight against the
amount of the assessment. Their
attorneys claimed the board of re-
view had no legal right to raise the
assessment without an itemized list
of property from the bank.
Frank Koliski, president of the
board of assessors, was asked how
the board happened to fix the per-
sonal property of the bank at $4,000.
Michael Sheridan fixed the asses
ments of the various banks" he said.
''You will have to see him about it. !"
Sheridan was out of town. =

MUNICIPAL LIGHT
PLANT DISCUSSED
Expert Outlines Plans Before the
Highspire Council; May Get
Current From York Haven

Plans for the installation of a mu-
nicipal-owned electric light plant were
discussed at a meeting of the borough
council of Highspire last evening.
w. II. Temple, a lighting expert
from Philadelphia, who outlined a
number of plans for lighting the
streets. was retained to find out
whether or not HiGhspire borough
can obtain current from York Haven.
Mr.. Temple will take up the matter
with officials of the York Haven COM
pany and report at the next meeting
of council. If it is possible to obtain
current from the York Haven COM
pany the borough will likely install a
substation similar to the one at Royal
ton. From this substation the current
for street lighting and for CONNER
cial purposes also will be distributed
it is planned.
The borough fathers of Highspire
have been considering a number of
plans for lighting the streets of the
town for several years. Some time
ago a munieipal-owned plant was pro-
posed, but no action was taken. The
demand for lighted streets has been
growing and it is likely that some ac-
tion viii now be taken.

State.
The State has suffered a loss run
ming into the millions by the disease,
which was brought here from the
West, and is endeavoring to stamp it
out. All shipments of cattle in quar-
antined districts inside the State are
prohibited and all shipments into the
State from Chicago or any place not
classed as free" are forbidden. This
lis necessary to prevent any possible
further spread and the State is stand
ing pat on its regulations notwith-
istanding pleas of packers and ship
pers. New York is demanding live
cattle and the shippers have offered
to send cattle through in sealed cars.
The State officials have made the
quarantine absolute.
The Pennsylvania and Baltimore
and Ohio railroad have given their
word not to ship cattle through the
State, but it was found out yesterday
that the quarantine was being vio-
| lated by the Erie, Nickleplate and
Lake Shore, whose lines run across
Erie county. Cattle from Chicago
have been going from Ohio into New
York State by way of Erie, fat against
| the State quarantine.
Last night notice TO stop was
given these three lines and to-

McNichol Sees Penrose and Out
lines What Republicans VIII
Ask in the Session

Following a conference in Washing
ton with Senator Boies Penrose on his
way North from Florida, Senator
James P. McNichol returned home last
night after a two weeks trip to Flor
ida. Senator Il. TT. Ware arrived the
day before. Republican State Chair
man William Il. Grow, senator from
Fayette county, who was q member OF
the party that visited st. Lucie, also
participated in the conference with
the senior senator. He went direct to
Uniontown from the national capital.
1t is authoritatively stated that
among other things agreed upon at
the Washington conference are the
following:
First - Legislation to change the
election laws shall not attempt to re-
strict a candidate to running upon but
one ticket at the primaries, as a ques-
ton has been raised as to the consti-
tutionality of such a regulation. bill
will be passed, however, to prohibit
the substitution of the name of any
one on any ticket after the result of
the primaries shall be announced.
Second-If the nonpartisan ballot
act shall be repealed, and this seems
probable, the repeal shall not take
effect until after the next November
election.
Third-The submission of the won-
to the voters next November is to be
advocated and the amendment will be
approved by the Senate without delay.
Fourth-Bills for workmen's COM
pensation and the child labor legis-
lation will be promptly passed.
Fifth-Local option is not to be con-
sidered as q political issue and the
legislators will not be influenced either
way by the Republican State leaders.
SiXth-The mayoralty situation in
Philadelphia is to be allowed to de-
velop available candidates and no at
tempt will be made to force the candi-
dacy of any aspirant at this time, with
the primaries to be held not until
September. Senator Penrose and his
associates say they will await 'crys-
tallzation of sentiment" before they
declare for any candidate for mayor
Seventh Senators McNichol and
Ware are declared to have reached an
understanding to work in harmony at
the mayoralty primaries, with no
agreement up to date upon any cam
didate for mayor.

hours over the eastern part of the
state, and according to forecasts there
is to be no cessation of hostilities by
grim winter on approaching Spring.
One of the heaviest snow and sleet
storms OF the winter has the entire
country from the Mississippi east in
its grip. The fall exceeded eight
inches in this city at noon. and in the
West snow was reported more than
one foot deep.
The snow began falling here early
last evening and winter came back at
the signs of Spring with n vengeance.
Early this morning when the street
cars began operating. difficulty arose
in maintaining the schedules but at
noon the cars on all of the city lines
were about on schedule. and many of
the suburban ones were only q few
minutes behind.
Both the Pennsy and the Philadel-
phia and Reading trains coming into
this city were on schedule, it was an
nounced this morning.
The telegraph and telephone COM
panies with branches in this city were
also among the fortunate ones and
report that no connections were broken
by the storm.
The Department of Streets and Pub
lie improvements employed more than
l25 extra men and thirty carts to clean
the streets, and the men and teams
were busy all day removing the snow
which fell during the past twelve
hours

ASSERT LAW COST
THEM TWO MILLIONS
Railroads Maintain They Could
Not Afford to Underman
Their Trains

What the railroads consider their
strongest argument on the fight for the
repeal OF the full crew law, is that IL
they undermanncd their trains they
would be the heaviest sufferers.
They say: "a freight train of one
locomotive at $4,000 and 75 cars at
$1,000 each would represent S100. GOO
in rolling stock. Is IL reasonable to
assume that a railroad would ieopar-
dice the safety of that great capital in
vestment TO save S2.75. the wage of an
extra brakeman? Would IL risk the
loss of 100000 worth of property to
save S2.T5?"
1t is cortended that railroads in
Pennsylvania and New Jersey last year
paid out 100000 for unnecessary
brakemen. They point out that with
that much money the railroads could
purchase zoo steel coaches. thus Civ
ing a great degree of safety to pas
sengers, or eighty locomotives, or co.
600 tons of new rail. or they could
block signalled 500 miles of track or
eliminate siNty-five grade crossings.
