HUSBAND KILLED; L
WIFE AND MAN HELD
Quarry Superintendent Is Shot
From Am bus h at
Tablet, Pa.
ACCUSED VISITED HOME,

Mrs. John TIumes and Ralph Kramer
are under arrest at West Chester fol-
lowing tho mysterious murder of John
Humcs: quarry superintendent, at
Tablet. Pa.
Conflicting stories told by Kramer.
twenty six years old, an employe, and
the wife shortly after the arrest of the
former led to the detention Of Mrs.
Humcs at the order of District Attorney
Truman Wade.
Humcs was shot through the heart
early yesterday morning as he entered
a woodshed in the rear of his home.
The assailant hid in ambush and, after
firing the shot. fed. Kramer was ar
rested short time later and, ac-
cording to the county authorities, has
virtually confessed to the crime.
Mrs. Humes summoned the police
after the shooting and told story
which later conflctcd with one told by
Kramer. Both. however, are said to
have admitted that Kramer was a fre.-
Quont visitor to the ITumcs home during
the hours when the superintendent was
busy at the quarry.
Sensational developments along lines
not divulgd arc promised today by
the district attorney. who says the
crime has many angles not visible
from the surface. One theory is that
the woman knew Of Kramcr's jealousy
of her husband and his threats and
made no effort to thwart them.
The wife will have hearing today.

WORKERS DESERT CITY HALL
. TO RALLY.VO7ERS AT POLLS
Political Pacehoers Send Word They Sick but EUerybod,
Kno,US IL Means They're Helping in Their Divisions

The "sick list" at City Hall today
is one of the largest ever recorded.
"Absentecism" is the rule, rather
than the. exception, in most Of the city
and county departments.
Many workers who arc counted upon
to carry their divisions in doubtful
wards suffered from n rhalady which
oven the most vcrdant student OF munlc-
ipal affairs cid not hesitate to charac-
tcrize as politics. ,'..
The absent treatment was not only
given by humble division ,workfrs, hut
number Of high priced heads were also
among the missing.
Some of these lattcr made good by.
short visits 10 sec that their desks were
opcn. When the rolltops were put into
busincss:lke shape they were quickly
deserted and even tbe men who re
maiued on the job throughout the morn
ing were nervous and apparently could
not, concentrate on their duties.
Cheer One Another
One of the favorite games Of present
officials has been to cheer each other as
to the outcome of today's battle. of the
ballots. Some of the less hopeful, how
ever. have started laying, lines for real
jobs after the first of the year.
The Shcrn act. which prohibits city
officials and employees from taking an
active part in politics, has long been
considered dead letter. but sickness y
is the excuse counted upon, to let all
out Of any trouble along this line when
they later report for duty.

ACCENT PAYMENT
BY BANK POSSIBLE
North Penn Depositors to Get
Nearly Half If lnstitu-
ton Is Sold
OTHERWISE 26 PER CENT

North Penn Bank dcnositors will re-
ccive approximately twenty six. cents
on the dollar, with a possibility n re
al5ing about forty cents if the looted
institution rs Bought in" by another
bank and more Of its potential assets
realized. .,
Statement n thr exact condition NJ
the looted institution will he filed within
few days with the prothouotary by
Colonel Fred Taylor Pusey, special
deputy attorney general in charge Of
the bank funds. ''...'.
With the announcement of the condiA
tion Of the bank. it was learned at the
district attorneys Office that more ar
rests Of persons implicated in the loot
ing will be placed under arrest. -
Shortage About So, 500. 200
The appraiscmcnt shows that the
bank has liabilities totaling about S4,
600, 900. about 81 SOC. 900 more than
had been estimated, and assets valued
at 81 800 900, showing a , shortage Of
approximately S2.500,OO0.
The time of settlement Of claims is
estimated at from four to six months,
unless somc other Institution purchases
the North Penn Bank and settles with
tho dcpositors.
The statement does not take into con
eidcration the $50 900 for which the
stockholders arc liable. Nor docs it
cover tho possibility of the Liberty
Bond holders being unable to collect,
n proposition the courts must decide.
One million dollars of the assets
should be available for distribution to
dcpositors. according to Colonel Pusey.
The dcpositors' claims, including those
Of the Liberty Bond holders, amount to
So. $50 900.
More than 1000 900 Of the 81 900, e
600 deficit represents "easy money
loaned out by bank officials, which is
considered irretrevabe.
Urge Bank to Buy
Every effort will be made by the
state to persuade one of the three in =
stitutions dickering for the North Penn
Bank to go through with the DEAL so
that the affairs Of the dcfunct in :
stitution may be Strengthened out as
soon as possible and with the best pos
shle payment to the dcpositors.
Notices will be sent to dcpositors
as soon as the formal appraisement is
filed, Colonel Pusey said, and they will
be given opportunity. in alphabetical
order. to file and prove their claims.
The North Penn Bank closed its
doors on order Of Banking Commissioner
Fisher on July II. The resulting ex
animation showed an astonishing state
of laXity and croOkedncss.
The cashier and two directors Of the
bank have already been indicted by
the grand jury. former banking com
missioner and former insurance com
missioner are held in hail awaiting the
action of the grand jury and the pay
ing teller is being held in $50, 900 bal

the Frankford 81" line and on other
transit work is not to be halted on ac-
count of the equity proceeding instituted

tween City Controller Walton, City
Solicitor Connolly and Director Twin
ing, Of the Department of Transit.
the question whether the regular month
ly payments on transit operations
should cease until a decision on the va
lidity of the loans had been handed
down was discussed. 1t was stated that
expenditures aggrcgating upward of
81. 900 900. which had come out of the
consolidated loan funds, had already

tracts.
