caught a severe cold last winter that
settled on his lungs and ne had ter
rible coughing spells. We were
greatly worried about him as the
medicine we gave him did not help
him in the least. A neighbor spoke
so highly of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy that I got bottle of it. The

CUT OUT THE WASTE

In these days when the govern
ment is asking and urging everybody
to cut out extravaganza and waste.
isn't IL about time to curb the reck-
less expenditure of county funds?
The Herald thinks the matter cannot
be pushed too vigorously. II Is moth
ing short of criminal carelessness in
these days of calamity and conflict
to allow public or private funds to
be recklessly squandered, and now
that the ball is set rolling. 1t should
be followed until everything that Is
crooked, is set straight. The Herald
has nothing to gain by the outcome
of the investigation of the county
commissioners, or nothing to lose
cept as every other taxpayer of the
county. but the thing has looked
mighty crooked to us for long time
and, as a law abiding citizen, II gets
on our nerves." to say the least, to
see thousands Of dollars literally
| filched from the county treasury. The
Herald has no selfish motive In giving
publicity to this matter. neither have
we a desire to harrass any county
official who is not guilty Of miscon-
duct in the discharge of his official
duties. We never expect to run for
county Office and don't give a rap
whether we ever print another line OF
county printing or not, so our hands
are free to give the public the best
information at our hand and give II
straight. Too many newspapers are
gagged and afraid to publish the
truth because of the fear of losing
a little political patronage. The Her
aid is not in that class. We appre-
ciate any patronage that is given us
In an honest manner, without any
strings tied to It, but long since we
got beyond the stage of dependency
upon support that. like the gypsy s
donkey" turns any way for feed of

PRISONERS ESCAPE
FOR PROBE TODAY
Board of Charities Expected to Be-
gin Investigation.

Investigation into the escape of
fifteen prisoners from the District
Jail last Sunday morning will prob
ably be begun today. by the Board

sued yesterday by the Commission
ers who, after a preliminary exam
ination into the whole escape. sus-
pended w. G. Ladd. superintendent
of the Jail, and two guards, W.
Erkine and John P. Costello. pend
ing full investigation.
1t is known that the District
Commissioners believe the escape
of the prisoners to be due to the
negligence of jail officials. William
Gilchrist, of the District Attorneys
Office, late Friday afternoon inform
ed Ladd of the intended escape and
early Sunday morning the prison
ers made their successful break for
freedom.
One of them later returned, but
there are fourteen still at liberty.

police are carrying on.
Investigation by the Board OF

vious escapes from the Jail and may
extend to the many escapes from

II. S. CAN SELL
GERMAN-OWNED
PROPERTYHERE
Conferees Reach Agree
ment on Terms Included
in Deficiency Bill.

After a long wrangle over the
provisions in the Urgent Deficiency
bill for the sale of German-owned
property within the United States.
the conferees of the Senate and
House agreed to the terms of the
bill yesterday and will make their
report to both houses tomorrow.
As amended by the conferees the
alien property custodian is given
authority to sell at public auction
to the highest bidder all property
in this country which is owned by
German interests. the sales to be
made only to American citizens. In
certain specified instances, where
the interests of the public require
it. the sales may be made privately
after due notice of publica tion has
been made.
The purchase by the President of
the Hoboken piers now owned by
German steamship companies is also
authorized by the bill.
The principal cause of contro-
versy among the conferees was over
the section authorizing the sale of
German property interests. This
section was inserted in the bill at
the request of the President after
the bill had been passed by the
House. The House. therefore. had
never acted upon 1t and the House
conferees were placed in the embar-
RAISING position of not knowing
what the sentiment of the House
with respect to the section might
be.
Another complication arose from
the protest of A. Mitchell Palmer.
the Alien Property Custodian.
against the requirement that the
sales must be conducted in public.
1t was stated that this would be-
feat the PURPOSES of the section in
that persons friendly to the Ger
man owners would be enabled to
buy up the properties and return
them to their former owners after
the war.
The Senate conferees were bound
to support this provision, however,
as it had been written into the Sec
tion upon a motion made in the
Senate by Senator Frelinghuysen.
of New Jersey.
1t was finally upon the suggestion
of Representative Sherley. one of
the conferees on the part of the
House, that the section was modi-
fled so as to permit the property
custodian to use his discretion in
| certain cases and hold the sales In
private.

that the department, in an effort to

inhumanely than any private business

wanted no money-saving at the ex-
pense OF letter-carriers. postal clerks
and r. F.. D. men. Poor postal serv-
ice, he declared, was due largely TO

he said, drove its best workers into
other employment.
