State Treasurer Berry has not suc ceeded In getting the people of Penn sylvania (o tnko Mb view of bis recent brickyard financial transaction that "it la a private affnlr," with which his fel low citizens have nothing to do. The sensational developments In con nection with this matter have caused no end of talk and adverse comment throughout the state. Mr. Berry's course has met with almost universal condemnation. The attempt of Mr. Berry and his friends to mitigate the effects of this expose by setting up the plea that tha three other members of the state treas ury board had forced the selection of the Harrisburg Trust Company as depository la laughed at, because of the well-known fact that, while the board docs vote on the selection of deposito ries, the State Treasurer alone deter mines the amount of the public funds which shall be allotted to each deposi tory at the seductive rate of 2 per cent. One year ago, under Republican ad ministration of the treasury, the Har rislmrg Trust Company had only $220, 000 of the general fund of the state, or about one-third of what Berry has alloted .to it. The fact that the Har rlsburg Tmst Company has been fa vored by Mr. Berry with one of the largest deposits In the state during the period in which that same company has been acting as trustee for the bonl issue of the Fields Brick Company, In which Mr. Berry is the largest stock holder, will make It difficult for many persons to believe the State Treasurer has not employed his control over the public funds as a means of rewarding bis business friends. Has Been Most Liberal. Berry's explanation that he went to Harrlsburg to float his bonds because he did not want people In Chester to know his company was In the market for real cBtate has had little effect In lessening the sensational character of the news that he is. doing business on a largo scale with the holders of state deposits. It Is unfortunate for Berry that he should have found It necessary, In case he rcnlly had to go outside of Chester to find Bome one to finance his project, to have picked out the one bank in the whole state to which he has been most liberal In the distribution of the peo ples' money. ; A Quick Change Is This. In this connection, the comment of leading newspapers of Pennsylvania interesting. Last year the Democrats, Prohibi tionists and me-too Lincoln I tcs ra all the changes of fraud In connect!' with the state treasury and the bo rowing of money from the Enterpri -Bank by Republican politicians, sa' ' John J. McLaurln, In the Oil City Dr rick. Homer L. Castle stumped t le commonwealth to sound the praises i f William H. Berry, the Democratic notr Inee for State Treasurer, and denounce to a finish William H. Andrews am' other- Republicans for getting fund'' from a hank that held Btate money on deposit. Berry was to "lift the lid." if elected, and reveal a terrible condi tion of affairs. lie won out enough weak-kneed Republicans to give him the victory, taking sufficient stock In the hue and cry to cast their ballots for Berry. The new Treasurer, who had posed as a reformer of the thirty-third de gree, implacable and Immaculate foe of the practices he and his henchmen In the campaign had "damned from Dan to Beersheha and return," assum ed his office In due time. Promptly ho lifted the lid, nnd It paralyzed him and the whole herd of corruption shriek ers to find every cent of the $13,000,000 in the treasury. What next? William H. Berry has scraeely warm ed his ofilclnl chair when, as disclosed within the last three days, he did precisely what William H. Andrews had done borrowed money from a bank having state deposits. His case was especially aggravated because of his position as custodian of the state's cah. Andrews was not a state officer, yet he was hounded and traduced as cash. Andrews was not a state officer; crime. Berry as a Borrower. From the Harrlsburg Trust Com pany, In which he has plarcd about twice the amount of public money his Republican predecessor saw lit to de posit with that corporation, William II. Berry has borrowed $50,000, giv ing as security a mortgage upon a brickyard and real estate in Chester county, alleged not to be worth neurly this snug amount! )The same trust company Is on his bund for $.jOu,000, making "only a nominal charge" for this important service, as Berry him self admits. It would be Interesting and edifying to know Just what interest or commission the company has actu ally obtained for the loan. Berry has outdone Andrews completely, and the chock to the fusion band of office hun ters Is Indescribable. William H. Ber ry, the man who went on the platform last week to tell how $2,000,000 graft would be unearthed In the furnishing and equipment of the capltol," Is the latest "reformer" to fall by the way side, "hoist by his own petard." It might gratify the public to know exactly the financial relations between Mr. Berry and the Harrlsburg Trust Company. Suppose he make an affi davit that he receives no personal ben efit from keeping a big sum on deposit with the company, that he pays tha usual rates for the $50,000 loan, and that none of the money so borrowed was given him tome time before tha mortgage was executed. Who'll be the next fellow who cries "wolf" to be "weighed In the balanct and found wanting?" C1TI TAX 1 Would Further Relieve Local Taxa tion Burdens From State Revenues. Pennsylvania Has Been Most Liberal In General Appropriations For Edu. catlonal Purposes. The ringing declarations of Edwin S. Stuart. Republican nominee for Gov ernor, In favor of the enactment of legislation to abolish local taxation for public school purposes and In favor of giving greater stute aid for the build ing of good roads and for charitable purposes, have met with popular favor. Ills statement made In. Jefferson county that he is opposed to the car rying of a large surplus in the state treasury has also resulted in expres sions of approval In many quarters. Candidate Stuart's views regarding the school tax are especially pleasing to the members of the Pennsylvania State Association for the Abolition of the School Tax. Theodore P. Rynder, secretary of this organization, says: "We have an organization extend ing over the state having for Its pur pose the abolition of the school tax on real estate thereby relieving espe cially small farmers and city home owners of their heaviest tar burden and establishing the principle that public revenues must pay for the pub lic education. "The organization Is known as the Pennsylvania State Association for the Abolition of the School Tax. "It has a large number of clubs In various sections of the state. It has the support of some hold-over sena tors. It has many candidates for as sembly pledged to the measure. "Candidate Stuart has Indorsed It In at least two public speeches. "The measure we propose would en able Pennsylvania to go on with Its great system of education and give to every child within the commonwealth Its Just dues an education that would fit it for the battle of life. It would solve the problem of adequate wages for teachers and adequate schools, for pupils. An Abundance of State Revenue. "The only question ever raised has been whether the state has tho finan cial means to do It As briefly as may be, let me answer that question. "Tho total cost for tho whole state of teachers' wages, text books and supplies for last year was $15,537,020. "To meet that bill the state now has a surplus of over $11,250,000, which by the beginning of tho next fiscal year will reach at least $16,750, 000. Then there can be added to this the $4,500,000 of annual current In come, which during the last two years has been applied to equipping our new capltol, a3 well as some addi tional amounts that went into con struction, and also the amount here tofore appropriated for the sinking fund. This $11,250,000 surplus, plus $5,500,000 regular school appropria tion, plus $4,500,000 new capltol ex penditures, will give us $21,250,000 with which to pay the $15,537,020 of teachers' wages, text books and sup plies, and leave $fi.000,ono and all In terest and additional revenues to be added to apply to the ordinary ex penses. "There are abundant sources of new revenue Justly used In other states that can be availed of by the next legislature should any new reve nue be needed. "Mr. Stuart's pronounced stand on this Issue will, In the event of his election, enable tho state to take this great advance step in public education and make Pennsylvania the leader in intelligence, as she Is In materia,! prosperity." What Counties Got Last Year. While Mr. Stuart is advocating further relief of local taxation from the general revenues of the slate, he does not overlook the fact that enor mous sums are tiow being paid an nually from the slate treasury to the several counties for public school pur poses. The records of the state treasury show that $7,832,350, mainly collected by the state In taxes from corporations, was paid to the several counties during the year 1905. BLEACHER STAND FELL Many Spectators Hurt, Three Fatally, at Football Game. German Army Ridiculed Damage by Southern Storms Senator Burton Goes to Jail Deaths From Ptoma ine Poisoning Victory For Oleomar garineOwned 200,000 Acres. One of the bleacher stands col lapsed at the New Star park football grounds at Syracuse- Saturday aft ernoon during the game between Syra cuse and Colgate. The stand was densely packed and some 500 persons were thrown to the ground by the ac cident. More than 50 persons were badly Injured. It Is a miracle that none was killed. Of the 50 or more Injured, the death of three Is expected. The Rev. Chris topher J. Donigan, assistant pastor of St. John the Evangelist's church, sus tained an injury to his spine, from which he died on Monday afternoon. Professor William Lusk, principal of the Union Free school, Hamilton, also sustained a serious injury to his spine and he is In a precarious condition at a hospital. John West of Rome is in jured internally and may die. The accident occurred just after the resumption of play in the second half. The intense rivalry between the two teams brought out the largest crowd that has ever attended a football game In Syracuse. There were 8,000 people In the stands and bleachers and on the sidelines and the excitement all through was at fever heat. Suddenly, there arose the sound of a crash and 50 feet of the bleachers gave way. The occupantB were thrown in one mass into the enclosure. German Army Ridiculed. Although the man who, In the disguise of an army officer, held up and robbed the mayor and municipal authorities of Koepenick has not been arrested, It is said at Berlin that he has been Identified as Adolphus M liner, an American citizen and son of a German emigrant to the United States. lie has run a lively criminal career, although he once worked honestly as a barber's assistant at Frankfort. Tir ingtherehejourneyedto Bavaria, where he posed us an official auditor em powered to revise the accounts of the local officials. By this means he man aged to appropriate various sums of money. After a series of clover and success ful swindles he was caught and sent enced to 10 years' imprisonment. He was lately released and reappeared in Frankfort, whence he suddenly van ished. It Is declared that his arrest Is pending. Meanwhile the public are indulging in merriment at the ex pense of his latest victims. Street hawkers are thriving on the proceeds of their sales of picture postcards il lustrating the robbery and poking fun at the mayor and municipal authori ties. A humorous brochure ridicul ing the municipal authorities, the army and the police Is soiling like hot cakes for half a mark. The musio halls are echoing with satirical songs. The Metropole theater has staged a farcical piece, In which a squad of the finest troops of the army obey unhes itatingly the ridiculous oidtu of an unknown captain. Damage by Cyclone at Havana. The terrific cyclone which began at Havana on Wednesday afternoon reached Its full fury on Thurs day morning. The greatest damage occurred on the harbor and nlong the docks.

CAPITOL TALE REFUTED. Architect Huston Explains Substitu tion of Composition For Hardwood. Philadelphia, Oct. 20.

Upon the stibje:t of the substitution of composition work for hardwood carvings on some of the walls near the celling of the Capitol Huston said: While hard composition work in lieu of carving in wood has been placed In some of the brackets near the coll ing tills was done with the full con sent and authorization of the Capitol building commission, In accordance with certain modlficatons in the or iginal specifications. The money saved by the substitution of this com position material, which, by the way, Is harder than wood and less liable to crack, was expended ou the bronze work.
