ENRICHED AT STATE'S EXPENSE W«re Those Who Benefited by Ap parent Collusion Between Architect Huston and Contractor Sanderson — | Worst Is Yet to Come, Say Reports. Harrisbuvg, Pa. —It has been ascer tained that the strongest kind of pressure has been brought to "bear upon the members of the capitol in vestigation commission by interested contractors and others who reaped a golden harvest from the erection and equipment of the new state house, to induce the investigators to drop the inquiry or at least make only a pre tense of investigating. It is also a satisfaction to know that the grafters made not the slight est Impression upon the probers. The inquiry will goon, and there is noth ing to prevent the stirring up of a scandal the like of which has never been known in this commonwealth. The investigators have gone far enough to realize that. It is believed that the worst phase of the situation is yet to be developed. Experts in building, architecture, decorating and contracting of various kinds have been employed by the in vestigating commission and already five rooms in the capitol building are in use by these people and their as sistants, and they are a busy lot of people. Some of the experts have discov ered that there was fraud of the worst character in many departments of the capitol that had not even been dreamed of before. This will be shown indue time, and it is alto gether likely that the contractors who grew fat at the expense of the state in this way will be compelled to for feit much of the plunder they have so deliberately stolen. Where the Graft Comes In. One of these experts who was here the other day and who was an unsuc cessful bidder on the furniture was asked by one of the investigators what his firm would be able to fur nish a certain mahogany desk for by the quantity. "About $75 each for a good-sized order," was the reply. "Well, would it surprise you if I were to tell you that desk cost the state $435?" The expert couldn't find breath to answer the question. But this is only one item. However, it indicates very well the general trend of things in connection with the capitol erec tion. As a. rule the John R. Sander son Co. of Philadelphia who fur nished most of tiie so-called "trim mings" made about 400 per cent on their work. The much discussed English inter locking parquetry flooring which cost the state something like 90 cents per square foot, may not ha»e been the genuine interlocking flooring at all, and the probability is that the govern ment will have to relay the flooring for the entire building in course of time as the blocks already are becom ing loosened and will warp and make a very rough floor in time. Even if it were the genuine English inter locking parquetry flooring the state paid about twice as much for It aa it should have done. Proving the Charges. Just why it was necessary for con tractors for certain kinds of work to make their bids direct to Sanderson instead of to the board of public grounds and buildings is not known, but such was the case. It likely will be developed why such was the case. Thus far the probers have found al most $2,000,000 overcharges. If it can be proved that much of the furnish ings which went into the capitol were sold to the state under false pretense it will be easy enough for the state to recover. With the specifications in hand and with the actual "goods" be fore them, it will not be difficult to prove the charges. Before the building can be regard ed as anything near adequate for tlio purpose for whifch it was erected it. will be necessary to put, in entirely new lighting, heating and ventilating systems. Architect Huston made a botch of the job. According to Ber nard R. Green, the consulting engi neer, Huston was more Interested in the"artistic effect" than in the me chanical equipment of the building. Fight on Coal Tax. There is a bitter fight in progress on the bill to impose a tax of three cents a ton on all anthracite coal and one cent a ton on all bituminous coal mined within the state. This is the same bill that was introduced last session. Both miners and operators are making a fight against the meas ure. Some large consumers are likewise opposed to it, for after all it. ?« tiie consumer who has to pa*y the fiddler. Even should such a bill be come a law and the mine owners were compelled to pay the tax, which is regarded as quite a heavy one, they would simply ch-irge that much more for coal.

Farmers are very much interested in the pure meat hill that is now well advanced on the house calendar. The hill provides for the prevention o! j the sale of meat and meat food prod ; nets which are unsound and unhealth j ful and otherwise unfit for human | food. The bill provides for the ap ; pointment of agents and Inspectors to assist in the 1 enforcement of the law. The Grangers of the state are not al together satisfied, according to "Farmer" William T. Creasy, the Democratic leader of the house, that | such a bill would be helpful to Penn sylvania stock raisers. He is inclined to think there is a snake somewhere concealed in the bill, and is giving it close scrutiny to discover if this be true. Dr. Leonard Pearson, the state veterinarian, and his friends, are working hard for the passage of the bill. Tree Bill Likely to Pass. The bill introduced by Representa tive Kiess of Lycoming to provide for the planting and care of shade trees on highways of townships of the first class, boroughs and cities, was re ported from the forestry committee with a favorable recommendation and is likely to pass the house finally. The measure provides for the ap pointment of a shade tree commis sion to consist of three persons in each borough, first-class township and city in the state who shall serve without compensation. They are to be given absolute custody of and power to plant or remove shade trees on any of the public highways. In townships of the first class the ap pointment of shade tree commission ers is to be made by the township commissioners, in boroughs by the chief burgess and in cities by the mayor. It is provided that in cities where a commission exists for the care of public parks the term and appointment of such commission shall not be changed. The cost of planting, transplanting or removing any trees in any high way and of suitable guards for their protection, and of removing or re placing of curbing or sidewalks when when necessarily disturbed by the do ing of such work shall be borne by the owner of the real estate in front of which such trees are planted. The cost of caring for said trees after having been planted is to be met by a general tax not to exceed one-tenth of a mill. To Encourage County Fairs. Well advanced on the house calen dar is the bill to authorize county commissioners, for the purpose of en couraging agriculture and the holding of county fairs annually, to pay an nually $2,000 to the incorporated Agri culture Fair association, paying pre miums on agriculture exhibits, etc. If the country members want this bill to go through it will be passed. Legislators are wondering what is to become of the bill introduced in the senate by John W. Crawford of Duquesne, Allegheny county, making it a misdemeanor for officers of cor porations to conspire together to in fluence the votes of their employes at elections. This measure is the out growth of a prolonged political war fare in the borough of Duquesne be tween the Crawfords and the United States Steel corporation. The Craw fords formerly controlled things polit ically in Duquesne. They own a I flourishing bank, among other things, and men employed in the mills used to deposit their wages with the Craw ford bank. When the superintendents and fore men of the steel corporation became prosperous they started a bank and many of the employes are now de positing their money with the new , bank. But that is not the worst of it. These superintendents and foremen have been doing things politically to the Crawford faction, and the bill in troduced by Senator Crawford is a result of this fight. The bill has been on the postponed third reading cal endar of the senate for some time. 1,700 Bills Introduced. Bills regulating everything from shaving to horseshoeing have been presented, and many of them arp now ' on the calendar of the house and sen- j ate. Altogether there have been in- | troduced in the house about 1,200 bills and about 500 in the senate. No ! more will be received except by unan- j imous consent. The committees are ! overloaded and there is enough legis- j lation in its various stages of passage | to keep the general assembly em- ! ployed all summer. Some over-anxious people are afraid j that with the great quantity of bills ! to be disposed of and owing to the 1 fact that so many of them are for local or special purposes the members will forget to pass the bills that were promised by the Republican state platform. It is true thac these plat form bills have not made great prog ress, but this may be explained by the fact that they are all of great im portance, affecting as they do some large corporate interests of the state, j Naturally these big corporations are | putting all the obstacles in the way ] of these measures that they can. There is one man at the capitol who is- determined that platform ' pledges shall be kept and that man is j Governor Edwin S. Stuart. He has ! served notice that all party promises | must be redeemed. And he said it in j such a way that no one could misun- | stand him. Although the local option bill was | killed in the house its promoters say j the fight will continue and that local ' option will hereafter be a leading 1 political issue instate campaigns. BAN Q.
