POLICE CASES ARE
RIGIDLY PROBED

vestigated every scrap of evidence
in my possession"
This is unquestiona true.
1t was expected that the hearing
would develop some of the charges
that Magnelli made against other
members of the force, to the effect
that the police department is gen.
orally rotten and that many other
officers were guilty of worse offenses
than those with which he is charg-
ed, but nothing of that kind came
out Nobody raised the question,
Mayor Keister having previously
said he did not intend to pay any
attention to the Magnelli allega-
tions.
Solicitor Fox said to-day the Mag
nelli charges did not involve an in
vestigation of the whole force and
that as city solicitor his only duty
in the matter and the extent to
which he was empowered to go in
the case was to show upon the evil
dence presented, that the Mayors S
charges were we'll founded.
In city circles it is not believed
that councilmen are very anxious
to go deeply into the affairs of the
department. They profess to be-
lleNe tnaJ MdSnelH cannot SuDStdn-
tiate his charges, and fall back upon
the old formula that mo specific
charges having been filed with u.s.
there is nothing on which to base
an investigation. Magnelli, also, has
become strangely silent and hadn't
a word to say at the hearing yes
| terday concerning the affidavits with
which he was so free when he was
| first dismissed by the Mayor. Meth
err he nor his counsel attempted tc
| introduce his counter charges into
| the hearing and since they did not
figure in the evidence laid before
the city solicitor they were not
| brought up.
Nevertheless there is a widespread
belief that things are not as they
should be in the police department
and the Mayors friends say he could
| strengthen himself greatly in the
| opinion of the public if he would
order "A complete investigation OF
the reports and rumors that have
gained such wide currency, if for
no other reason than that he owes il
to well-behaved officers of the force
to clear their skirts of blame.

Thirteen Properties Are
Purchased From the MoGtt
Estate by Warren Van Dyke

A deed filed at the recorders
office late yesterday afternoon from
the Moffitt estate to Warre nR. Van
Dyke involves one of the largest real
estate transfers of the year. Thir-
teen properties were conveyed on
Susquehanna and Fourth streets. at
a consideration of 81, although the
revenue. stamps indicated that the
purchase price was in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000. Samuel A. Greene

to convert all of these properties into
two and three family apartments, for
occupancy by April /.

BUNCo MAN ON SCHEDULE

The clever bunco man who announced
in yesterdays paper as expected to
arrive here and play a game where
by he feeces store keepers of twenty
dollars by offering n number of ones in
exchange for twenty dollar bill, which
we then puts in his pockets while ap-
parently sealing it in an envelope, and
then leaves the envelope with the store
keeper while he returns to his boss to
get an additional one dollar bill. the
clerk discovers he only gave 10 one
dollar bills for the $50, arrived on time
last evening, and at o'clock announced
his arrival by playing his game on Mrs.
Galbrath, clerk in Weaver's con-
fectionarys store at o'clock, and get
ting away with it. She evidently did
not see the papers which announced
his expected arrival. Paliee suppose
he saw his game already hearalded in
last evenings paper, and made his
escape after going into Weaver's,

NEWPORT ROAD
GETS INVOLVED
Legal Questions Bob UP When
the Cut Off Proposition
Is Discussed Today

The question was raised to-day by
Highway Commissioner Sadler
whether the state could take over a
road route not improved in discuss
ing the request of delegation OF
people from Dauphin and Perry
counties for a new link which would
shorten the road between Harris
burg and Newport by twelve miles.
The delegation, composed of prom
inent residents asked that new
link be built between Amity Hall
and Newport on the William Penn
highway, which would do away with
the route embracing Liverpool and
Millerstown which Is travelled by
many persons touring across the
state. The link was added by 1917
Commissioner Sadler
said that he would refer the Ques-
ton to the Attorney General as part
of the route was damaged in the
1889 flood and virtually abandoned,
Now the Perry county people intend
to improve 1t as county road and
wish 1t to be come a part of the
state system.
Arrangements were made to-day
for q general discussion of the state
road building program In Allegheny,
Butler and other western counties by
the Governor, Highway Commits
sioner and interested officials. Coun-
ty Commissioners Gumbert, Allie
gheny, and Moore, Butler, asked
that a ten-mile strip between But
Ter and Mercer and n twelve-mile
astrip between Pittsburgh and But
Ter be improved. Mr.. Gumbert
strip between Pittsburgh and But
county in construction. Commits
sioners Gates and Cumbertson, of
Venango, asked that the construc-
tion be made first to Oil City and
then to Franklin when it reaches
Cranberry. Requests were made for
improved roads to connect Frank
lin with the Polk institution.

prevent the selling of the bonds. He
said the terms likely will be SO rea-
sonable that everyone will recog-
nize the saneness of the investment,
and buy bonds.
1t is likely the issue will mature
in not more than five years. he said.
There is a probability that the bonds
will be issued in two forms. For
the benefit of the small buyer, the
interest will be at comparatively
high rate and the bonds will be
subject to taxation. For the small
bond buyer this would be the best
investment. For large purchasers,
he said, there likely will be an is
sue free from taxation, but bearing
lower rate of interest. The super
tax on very large amounts in bonds
would make the purchase of the
bonds bearing the higher interest,
but subject to taxation, less profit
able for heavy investors.
The new Secretary of the Treas
ury, said Mr.. Mccormick, has asked
Congress to make concessions to the
purchasers of bonds in the previous
Liberty Loans. so that they will not
suffer by higher rate of interest
being paid on the new bonds.

New Orleans Cotton.

New Orleans, May 16.-Advances
into new high ground were made by
cotton today, good demand making
it's appearance on the opening and
being greatest toward the close,
when the highest prices were real
lied. The close was very steady at
a net gain of a. to So points. At the
highest of the session, May reached
29.37 as compared with the spot quo
tation on middling of 1888. This
premium was due to the efforts of
shorts in the May position to cover
without tie delivery of cotton.
Tic market opened at the advance
and there were no very wide react
ions from the advance during the day.
The sensationally good cables were
partly responsible for the early adj
vance and the demand was increased
by the forecast of showcry weather
for the greater part of the belt. Con-
tinued favorable dry goods accounts
and returns from the interior show
ing strong spot demand ut higher
prices l,eiped the market to no small
extent.

Selling pressure which resulted
from the outlook for enlarged receipts
of corn was based on advices that

in some sections and that the crop
movement depended to great extent
on the celebrity with which field work
could be got out of the way. Reports
that 100000 bushels Of Argentine corn
of excellent quality containing only
