In a frank Inlenlow, free from bom

came to bo nominated for tho position
by Governor Sproul and what ho ex
pects to do as ono or tho Governor's
personal representatives In tho body
that exercises supervision over tho pub
lic utilities ot this State.
21r. Clement's nomination and those

who, In his law practice. Is associated
With Frank Ilogers Donahue, "and told
mo ho wanted mo and tho others to

to servo as his personal representatives.
Ho said he believed It my duty to serve.
He said I had had long and wldo' ex
perience as counsel and receiver for
public scrvlco companies- and this ex

time to consider. Sunday night I tele

Mr, Clement was asked If soma public
Service commissioners In the country
had not sought popular favor by being
unjustly harsh with public service com
panies, knowing there was some popular
prejudice In favor of Individuals and
against the companies.

Scorn for Grumblers
From a seventeen-year-old Philadel
phia private who saw actlvo Bervlce at
St. Mlhlel nnd many other Important
drives of the war, comes a denial of
charges that Uncle Sam's'boys are not
being treated well In France. Private
Oliver P. Hazard, of Company V, Am

of Occupation, ays the boys get their
pay, their mall and plenty of good food
In perfectly good time.
I d like to meet the fellow who says
the boys aren't being treated right, face
to face for about five rounds," Private
Hazard wrote his proud and happy moth
er, Mrs. M. Hazard, of 1C23 West On
tario street. "Of course there arc some
mamma's boys over here, but they should
have known they were not coming to
attend Sunday School, but to take a
man s place.
"As for being paid, at first It was kind
of hard to pay us over here, as my
company, for Instance, Is at Longvvy,
France, and I am here In Luxemburg.
It ,1s different now, for each man In
the A. 11, F. has a pay book which
enables him to draw pay from any
organization to which ho may be at
tached at the last of the month. Be

right on tho dot? Uncle Sam Is surely
good for It, and a man needs no money.

HERO GREETS NEW BROTHER ' ASSAY COMMISSION AT MINT
The handwriting on a draft question
naire, postal Inspectors cay, was the
cluo that led to the arrest of Joseph
Kerncn, Mount Pleasant avenue, Wynd-
moor, suspected of mailing "Black
Hand'' letters to wealthy residents of
Gcrmantown and Chestnut Hill.
Kcrnen, a young married man em
ployed as a gardener on a 'Wyndmoor
estate, will bo arraigned today In the
Federal Building before United States
Commissioner Long. He Is charged with
attempted extortion and with using the
malls for an illegal purpose.
Acting on complaints made by Frank
P. Myers, of Wyndmoor, near CheBtnut
Hill, a wealthy rose grower, Postoftlce
Inspectors Hawrksworth and McVlckar
began a search for the letter writer
which continued for six weeks, ending
last night In the arrest of Kerncn.
All Came From Mnln Line
Observing that all the threatening
letters wcro mailed from a Main Line
postodlce, the Inspectors visited nearly
every draft board In that section, ex
amined hundreds of questionnaires and
compared thp handwriting with that of
the letters. Finally, they say. they
found handwriting tbjat corresponded.
Ono letter sent to Mr. Myers, dated
January 9. demanded that 15000 be
placed In a box under a stone about a
thousand yards from the Myers prop
erty. The threatened alternative was
