CONOWINGO TAX CASE
ARGUED

The Susquehanna Power Co.,
operating the Conowingo Dam on
the Susquehanna River, challenged
in the Supreme Court Tuesday the
tax imposed by Maryland on its SUBJ
merged lands.
| Asserting it had been granite a
license by the Power Commission to
construct the dam, where it is gen.
Grating electric power largely used in
Philadelphia, the company, through
William C. Mason, told the court
that 2110 acres on its submerged
land which before the construction
of the dam had been assessed for
taxing purposes at $40 to $40 an
acre, was now being assessed at
81, 1856 an acre.
Declaring that the land was part
of the bed of the Susquehanna river,
and that the construction of the dam
had been authorized in aid of naviga-
ton, counsel insisted the State was
powerless to tax the submerged
lands.
The court recognizing that the
company's position was based on
the argument that the project was in
aid of navigation, asked whether
locks had been provided for that
purpose. The reply was in the mega
tive. They also asked other ques-
tons which indicated a disposition to
take issue with the company's posi-
ton.
William L. Marbury, Jr., counsel
for the Maryland State Tax Com
mission, said the campany's position
had changed since the appeal to the
Supreme Court, declaring that in the
State courts it had only challenged
the value placed on the submerged
lands while now it was claiming the
submerged lands were exempt from
all taxes.

SKETCH OF DISTINGUISHED
FORMER RESIDENT

The following clipped from the
Friends Intelligencer, of Philadel-
phia, will be of interest to our read
ers as the boyhood days of Mr..
Richards were spent in this section:
"Jos. T. Richards, ia member OF
Philadelphia Monthly Meeting, was
the subject of a sketch by "Girard'
! in The Inquirer, Philada., recent
Ely. He is the son Of Isaac Stubs
Richards and Mary Ann Reynolds
Richards, and was born in 1845
at Porters Bridge, Maryland, near
the historical Old Brick Meeting
House. Joseph Richards, in spite of
his SO years, is;actively interested in
the work of the Society and is a
member of the Board of Friends
Central School, and loyal Intelligent
Ger Associate. ''Girad" says: /.
One of those men who seem not
to grow older is Joseph T. Richards.
He was born on Lincoln's birthday
1916, so that you can figure his in
years at fraction over Sc.
And he looks hard as those steel
rails he manipulated so long and
skilfully when Chief Engineer, Main-
tenance of Way, for the Pennsy-
lvania Railroad.
When Mr.. Richards, who was a
Maryland Quaker, began to work for
the Pennsy it was relatively small
fry, as railroads run today.
The renowned j. Edgar Thomson
was then president, and Mr.. Richards
has seen all the other presidents
come and go since then-Colonel
Thomas A. Scott, Geo. B. Roberts,
Frank Thomson, A. j. Cassatt,
James McCrea and Samuel Rea.
General Atterbury has also arriv-
ed, bnt has not yet departed under
the pension rule of 70 years.
Mr.. Richards himself stepped out
under the same rule sixteen years
ago. But he is perennial bloomer.
l wonder if any other Pennsyl-
vania Railroad man survives who,
like Mr.. Richards, helped put AL
toona on the map.
The world today knows that city
chiefly because it contains the great
est railroad shop on earth.
Citizens of that royal and blooming
city, which nestles near the crest Of
the Incompatible Alleghenies, might
regard Joseph T. Richards as sort
of monument.
He was out there in 1869 with rod,
chain and whatever else hustling
young railroad engineers employ,
helping to create those boundless
Altoona shops.
Some men may operate railroads,
others may finance them, still others
procure traffic to carry, but j. I. r.
built railroads.
In that capacity believe no other
American engineer living today out
rivals Mr.. Richards, Sc years young
and flinty as a carload of his favorite
trap rock, used for track ballast.

BANKERS HUNT
POSSIBLE PAL
OF EMBEzzLER
Model Husband Insists He
Had No Aids in His
S1,5OO,0OO Thefts.
By United Press

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, Sept. 3-Banking and
insurance company officials hunted
today through yoluminous records
for evidence that some one helped
Walter E. Wolf embezzle more than
S1,500,O00 from the Continental I'LL
MOS Bank and Trust Company.
Il had no accomplices," declared
the 42-year old model husband
and neighbor, but officials found it
almost impossible to believe that
for ten years the $4,0O0-a-year bank
employe could work entirely alone
and escape detection as he squan-
dered fortunes in the stock markets.
Representatives of Lloyd's in Lon
don said they were convinced, how
ever, that Wolf was not aided by
any of the fifty men who worked
under him in the coupon depart
ment of the fourth largest bank in
America.
James r. Leavell and Abner j.
Stilweu, president and vice-presi-
dent, respectively, of the ST.
123,000,000 institution, also said they
were convinced no other employe of
the bank had been involved in the
record-smashing populations, but
considered it probable some one
outside the bank had aided Wolf.
Wolf himself blamed fate and
stock brokers for his troubles, but
most Of all, he blameS himself.
IF I only could live the last ten
years over again." he said.
1t was said that not more than
$500 of all the thousands Wolf en-
bezzled was turned to his own use.
The rest he lost in the markets, The
bank put large corps of men to
work searching files of the last ten
years to determine just how many
securities had been taken and to
find evidence, if possible, that some
one had aided Wolf.
Bank officials said Wolf admitted
he was encouraged by brokers to
plunge deeply into the markets in
desperate efforts to win back his
losses. He stole securities, it was
charged, and put them up as margin.
