Bellefonte, Pa., October 19, LIGHT ON $2,000,000 CHANDELIERS Bronze Company Worked On the $2, 000,000 Job Before Contract ' War Awarded. That some nersons will wear stripes for their grafting in the state capitol is the forecast of prominent lawyers, basing their opinions upon the devel- opments made up to date by “frozen- out” bidders, and by State Treasurer Berry, ex-Governor Stone and the ar- chitect of the congressional library, Bernard R. Green, not to speak of many other competent witnesses, who, in due time no doubt, will appear be- fore an investigating committee of the state legislature. Simultaneously with the steady increase in the magnitude of the revelations of capitol plunder- ing come the startling disclosures that, with all the unexpended millions in tho treasury, the money could not be spar- ed for the decent housing of the unfor- tunates in the state hospitals for the insane. It appears that the scoopers of the $9,000,000 “extra” for the capi- tol were afraid that if they provided for the thousands of irsane who ars srowded in the corridors to spend the night there as best they may, the peo- Jeremiah 8S.

The United States architect, Mr. Green, who was supervisor for the capitol commission, has supplied a foun- dation for the probing by his sustain- ing in every detail the assertions of the commission's president, ex-gover- nor Stone, in flatly contradicting Build- | er George F. Payne's claim that only the “shell” was to be put up by the commission through Payne's contract. Green, one of the best-known architects in the world, says: “The Pennsylvania capitol was ready for the chandeliers and the furniture when we got through with it. There was nothing needed to be done except in the way of such additional orna- mentation as the board of public build- ings and grounds thought necessary. The structure was ready occupancy, the plans had been fully carried out and the specifications had been com- plied with.” Now if, as Green declares, the work, when the commission got through with it, was “well and economically per- formed throughout, and everything called for in the specifications was fur- nished,” the great question for the probers is: “What has become of the finishings which were considered by so competent an authority to be good enough? Where are they? They have disappeared. Were they torn out or covered up by the imperial ‘“furnish- ings” which the board of public grounds and buildings, headed by the present governor, procured without a special appropriation? Mr. Green adds: “Every room was complete in all re- spects. The building was painted roughout, the heating a tus was in working order, the ventilating pipes were in plece, conduits for electric lights were complete th t the building and the wires were laid. Nor did any of this work have to be torn out and done over again.

As to the $2,000,000 chandeliers, of which the cost would build a magnifi- | pent new road from end to end of the state, or would have prevented the death rate in the insane asylums from being 10 times the normal figure, it is now shown in private by Philadelphia manufacturers and contractors that even before the contracts had been awarded to John H. Sanderson the “Pennsylvania Bronze Company” had been organized by him and work on the chandeliers actually begun. The designs of Architect Joseph M. Hus- ton’s artistic bronze fixings were on display in his office for weeks before the actual awarding of the contract by the board of P. G. & B., and, ac- cording to one cof the expert modelers employed by the company, he was set to work in the architect's office three or four days before the commission had considered the various proposals. . to John Maene, one of the ex- pert modelers: “Two months before the contract for the chandeliers was awarded the Penn- sylvania Bronze Company was organ- fzed. 1 was employed by the concern while the contract for the state's illu- minating fixtures was being executed, but at its completion the company went out of existence, and the Db ant at 13th and Cumberland was later con- verted into an automobile factory. Even before it was announced Sanderson's company would get the contract, and while other firms were figuring on the bids, not knowing how to estimate the cost of the chandel- fers by the pound, I was employed by the company and made daily visits to Mr. Huston's office to. begin work on the models. “At that time I knew nothing about the affair, but three or four days after 1 began work one of the promcters of the concern, who afterward became su- perintendent of the works, came into the room where I was working and with a sigh of relief, remarked: 1 feel better now; the commission's given us the contract.” It was then explain- ed that the company had felt confident of getting the contract all along, but, with the award by the commissioners of P. G. & B. and the signing of the contract, any trace of doubt which might have existed was wiped out, and from that day things went along flour- ishingly. Cheap Make, But Fancy Price. “One of the orders which struck me most peculiarly was to make the work heavier. As chandeliers are usually made rather fragile, we could not un- derstand the strange order. Time T time models would be returned to us, and we would have to provide for more metal, until in some cases the chan- William T. Creasy.

When the storm clonds gather behind the brown antumpal woods and cold wind« begin to blow, then the bright leaves come drifting down in fluttering, fast-thickening showers unotil it almost seems as if the wind were the active agent and actually tore the leaves from the trees. This, of conse, is nos the cage. The leaf-fall only becomes possible alter a long preparation on the part of the tree, which forms a pe enl- iar layer of cells in each leal stem called the cleavage plate. This cleavage plate, or separation laser, consists of a section of loosely attached, thin-walled cells with a few strand« of stronger woody fiber in amoung them; so, in the early autumn, although the leaves appear as firmly attached as ever hefore, they are really only held on the tree hy these few woody strands and the outer hrit- tle skin or epidermis of the stem. Now only a slight shock or wind flurry is saffi- cient to break the fragile support and bring the leaves in showers to the ground. We may see these woody strands hroken through in the leaf-scar of the horse-chest- out, where they appear as little ronnded projections on the broken surface and are often spoken of from their fancy re- semblance to the nails of a horeses leg. The hickory and ash among other tree« have similar markings on their leal scars and from the same cause. On the 100t of the wild eareaparilla which project< ju-t above the gronnd a like series of little pio. jections will be seen upon the ring ike =car which surrounds the hud where the leaf-stalk has joss separated. Often the leaves separate and fall «von on the quietest days, for their own weight i» sufficient to hreak the fail supporr.
