Baseball Fans Should
Back Daylight SaUing
Tener Says at Convention

New York. Jan. 81. - Baseball
fans should get behind the PROPOSE
ton to turn the clocks of the country
ahead an hour for five months, said
President John X. Tener, of the Ma
tional Baseball League, in his address
at the National Daylight Saving con-
vention here to-day. 1t would have
the effect, he declared, of giving more
time to millions of people for the
physical and mental enjoyment de-
rived from every form of amusement
that is permissible only during day
light.
The American game of baseball"
SAID Mr. Iener, never has had an
equal as an outdoor sport and it is
hardly conceivable that it ever will.
1t seems that this game of our own
invention includes and embraces every
essential that stimulates the mind, re-
creates the exhausted faculties, amuses
the jaded sense, revives the sluggish
blood, makes strong the weak muscle
and impels vigor and health to the
body that no other form of exercise
combining the element of sport can
accomplish
Saving of Millions
saving of millions of dollars would
result from the substitution of an
hours daylight for an hour during
which artificial illumination of some
kind must be resorted to, DR.. George
+. KunZ, of New York, told the con-
vention. The gas consumption by the
people of Vienna during the five
months of daylight saving in Austria,
DIR. Kunz said, lis said to have been
reduced 200 cubic feet, result
ing in a saving of $4,000.
Milton w. Harrison. secretary of
the savings bank section of the Amer
lean Bankers Association, said he con-
sidered the daylight saving plan 1.-The
longest step toward the greater thrift
and conservation in the individual
American that has been taken in the
history of the nation"

Monsignor John Joseph Koch, rec
tor of st. Edwards Roman Catholic
Church, Shamokin, since its creation
in 1866, died yesterday at the rectory
of complication OF diseases follow
ing a long illness. He was aged n
years and was the oldest priest in
point of service in this section of the
State.
Monsignor Koch was close friend
of the Rt. Rev. NJ. NJ. Hassett, rector
of St. Patrick's Cathedral, this city,
and was well known here. At the
time of the erection of the Cathedral
he donated the main altar in the edi-
flee at a cost of thousands of dollars.
MonSignor Koch was frequent Visi-
tor here and the news of his death
was learned with deep sorrow.
1t is probable that a number of peo-
pie from Harrisburg will attend the
funeral services.
As vicar general of the Harrisburg
diocese of the church he was admins
traitor from the time of the death of
Bishop Thomas McGovern until the
appointment of the late Bishop John
w. Shanahan. Monsignor Koch took
an active interest in affairs in all parts
of the diocese, contributed personally
TO churches in various sections. His
was one of the largest parishes in the
diocese. His church numbered be-
/ tween three and four thousand mem
bers and he had three assistant
priests.
The fiftieth jubilee of his COM
ing to Shamokin was celebrated
last September, and the committee for
this event will complete arrangements
for the funeral.
Monsignor John Joseph Koch was
born in Lorraine, France, in 1910. He
was educated in French universities,
coming TO Philadelphia in 1861. Two
years later after his ordination as a
priest he was sent to Milton as a mis-
sionary in charge of five parishes.
In 1866 he went to Shamokin and
was chiefly instrumental in erecting
new edifice for st. Edwards Church.

WANTS MISUSE OF
AUTO'SSTOPPED
Governor Asks Highway Com
missioner Blacks Advice on
How to Stop Joyriders

Governor Brumbaugh to-day in
formed Highway Commissioner Frank
B. Black that the charge had been
made that State automobiles in charge
of the Highway Department were be-
ing used for trips to ball games at At
lantic City and to places which he
considered clearly beyond what the
cars were intended for and asked him
to make some suggestions for a way
to check the misuse.
The Governor says he cannot for a
moment approve use of cars for other
than official purposes and wishes Mr..
Black to give his idea of how to stop
the use except for State business.
In his letter the Governor says:
Hon. Frank b. Black,
State Highway Commissioner,
Harrisburg, Pa;
My Dear Sir-When l assumed office
it was reported to me- from "a mum ber
of places that the State automobiles
were used for trips to ball games, to
Atlantic City and to other places
clearly beyond the districts for which
the cars were provided. This misuse
of cars was said especially to lie in
the Highway Department.
With your predecessor. Mr.. Cum
ningham, we considered this matter
and decided that all uses of cars not
specifically official should cease. Or
ders were issued accordingly. Some
removals were made. All cars We're
marked as the property of the Com
monwealth. Since then l have had no
complaints from any source. But the
charge is made that in some cases
such misuse is still made. l cannot
for moment approve such acts, and
write you to say that l wish you at
once to suggest to me what steps that
would in your judgment correct this
matter and what action will be neces-
sary in the case.
Very truly yours.
(Signed) NJ. G.. BRUMBAUGH.
