Colonel Fred Taylor 1'nscy names
James .T. Boland, head of the New
York Natlonnl Insurance Company,
as "the big crook" in the scuttling
of the bank.
Colonel Pusey charges that Charles
A. Ambler, former insurance com
missioner, obtained large personal
loans at the same time he deposited
402,000 state funds.
Governor Sproul declares that he
crnnot understand why Ambler eycr
was appointed insurance commis
sioner. Attorney. General Schaffer says
that hope of depositors lies in ability
of probers to compel Boland, in
surance wizard, to make good his
fos.ni.
Charles A. Ambler, former in
surance commissioner, breaks silence
and pleads his dealings with wrecked'
tank were "businesslike and honor
bl," Charles A. Snyder, auditor cen
tral, voiced twniup(inJTits5ai(ii-:
covery that AinWiT had transferred
funds of the Pittsburgh Life and
Trust Company from Allegheny

auditor, general voiced his objections
that-North Penn Bank was in criti
cal, elate, and that he had Examiner
Charles A. MacB'urney's report and
$30,000 cash put up by the bank's
directors to securo the shortage
found in his possession.
Dominant features today in the in
vestigation of the wreck of the North
, Penn Bank follow :
James J. 'Bolund, president of the
Now York National Insurance Com
pany and the Seneca Fire Insurance
Company, is "the big crook" in the
scuttling of the bank, according to
Colonel Fred Taylor Pusey, chief in
vestigator. He wants the man ar
rested. Colonel Pusey also asserted that
Charles A. Ambler, insurance com
missioner under former Governor
Brumbaugh, obtained enormous per
, sonal loans at the same time he de
posited $402,000 state funds in the
bank. That was as far back as
November, 1017.
. Governor Sproul nnnouneed that
the entire state administration was
back of the investigat'ion, and ex
pressed astonishment that Ambler had
been appointed by his predecessor,
Dr. Brumbaugh.
Attorney General Schaffer said to
day that the hope of the depositors
rested in the ability of the statu
prqbcrs to compel James J. Boland,
insurance man, to make good his
loans.
"Without doubt our investigation
shows that James J. Boland, president
of the New York National Lite Insur
ance Company and the Seneca Fire In
surance Company, is the big crook."
Colonel Pusey for the first time today
named the man ehitAly responsible for
the scuttling of the institution and as
serted that he wunted to have him ar
rested. Attorney General Sehnffcr today nlso
said that the hope of the depositors
rested in the ability of the state probers
to compel Boland to make good his
enormous loans nt the bank.
It is understood that he obtained
more than $.100,000 on worthless paper
from the defunct bnuk, and. in turn,
when the North Penn failed his New
York National Insurance Company went
to the wall,
"Yes," scld Colonel Pusey. "I waut

an ovation.
Members of the committee leaning
trom the windows of the City Club
started the cheering as the congressman
readied the pavement. This swelled as
their candidate walked up the stairs,
and broke in n great storm of applause
and cheering as be entered the meeting
room.
The greeting on the lips of every one
was "Our Next Mayor."

Several times while Congressman

Vares to Use "Comrade" Bait
to Get Service Men's Back
ing, Says McCain
"KAMERAD" SEEN AS REPLY
By GEORGE NOX McCAIN
There are in round numbers nt least
50,000 returned soldiers in Philadelphia
today.
What are the Varc and anti-Vnre
fnctions going to do about them?
Several weeks ago I pointed out thnt
tho Varc organization intended to moke
n drive to win tire returned soldiers'
vote. Every Philadelphia soldier and
sailor was to be located.
Spccinl attention was to he shown
him. lie was invited to join hands
with thb regulars, no matter what his
political affiliations had been before he
donned khaki nild shouldered n gun.
There was then large talk of putting
up a holdier candidate for one of the
"row" offices. This was with tho par
ticular object of making an nppcijl to
his foraicr comrades in arms. It may
be done yet by the regulars.
A glance ocr tho squad of candi
dates for the secondary offices does not,
up to date, disclose trench cap or chev
ron anywhere. A majority of the pres
ent incumbents nrc slated for n con
tinuation in office. They arc tho old
wheel horses of the organization. Be
sides, the Vare people evidently think
it poor judgment to swap horses in mid
stream. Particularly when there are
rapids ahead.
Nor hove the independents given any
indication of naming n soldier candi
date on their ticket. In this they are
on the same footing with the regulars.
There is plenty of good material to se
lect from. The campaign managers of
the Republican Alliance and the Town
Meeting party will be guilty of a grave
error, I think, if they do not fully recog
nize this powerful factor in the cam
paign. Every precinct leader in the Varc or
ganization has been given explicit in
structions to Keep track of every re
turned soldier. To cultivate- him and
get his vote.
A little later when the campaign
warms up there will be speeiM appeals
to the man in khaki. There will be
soldier rallies' addressed by soldiers..
The facf that Judge Patterson served
in the Spanish-American war will be
brought forcibly forward by the Vnrc
speakers. "Comrade" will bo n trite
nnd clever prenomcu for the judge. As
the fight progresses between the minor
leaders of the embittered factions the
word "Kumerad," too, will be Intro
duced. Tho Vare organization leaders also
are going to make an appeal to the
t'urvlvors of the Progressive Republi
can party, to the Roosevelt following.

MAIL AVIATOR
E
Ladder Company Rushes to Res
cue of Samuel C. ' Eaton,
Caught in. Branches
MACHINE BADLY WRECKED
An aviator carrying United States
mail from College Point, Md., to New
lork crashed into a tree at Johnston
mid Sherman streets, Germnntown, at
J-:40 o clock this afternoon.
The machine was wrecked. Tho avia
tor, after being held prisoner for near
ly half an hour in the tree, was res
cued. He is Samuel C. Eaton, of (VM0 Sher
man stieet, who, through some oddity of
chance, met with disaster close to his
own home.
When the airplane struck the tree it
was caught tight between two branches,
about fifty feet from the ground.
Eaton was fastened between the ma
thine and one of the branches.
A big crowd quickly gathered in the
street and efforts were made to reach
the aiator. These failed. But the ap
prehension for the saycty of the flier of
excited men nnd women was relieved
when Eaton eoled out :
"I am nil right, but pinned here. Get
me out."
Both the police nnd fire departments
were called upon to help in the work of
rescue.
Fire Truck Company No. 8 was the
first to arrive. The firemen found that
their extension ladder was not long
enough to reach Eaton. From the end
of the ladder they were forced to climb
up through the branches. Then they
were impeded by the position of the
wrecked airplane, which they were com
pelled to move before they could reach
Eaton.
The icst'iicis liist dropped the mail
sacks tit the street and then lowered
the aviator to the top of the ladder
with ropes. Eaton was. uninjured and
able to descend the ladder without as
sistance. Eaton explained that his engine
btalled, while he was passing over the
city. He was trying to effect a safe
lauding when he rt.n into 'the big oak,

WIFE AT HIS BEDSIDE
WHEN THE END COMES
Financier, Whose First Wage
Was Twenty Cents, "Hoped
to Die Poor"
By the Associated Press
I.eno, Mass., Aug. II. Andrew
Carnegie, steel magnate and philan
thropist, died nt his Lenox summer
home, Shadow Brook, at 7:10 this
morning, nfter an illness of less thnn
three days with bronchial pneumonia.
He was in his eighty-fourth year.
So sudden was his death that his
daughter, Mrs. Roswell Miller, was un
able to get to her father's bedside be
fore he died. His wife and private sec
retary were with him at the end.
Mrs. Miller was at her home in Mill
bank, N. Y., when word came of her
father's approaching death. She hur
ried to Lenox, but did not nrrivc until
a few minutes after her father's death.
Tahen III Last Friday
Although Mr. Carnegie wns taken ill
Friday, it wor not until early today
that his condition took a critical turn.
On Saturday it was said that he was
suffering from n severe cold, but it was
not different apparently from other at
tacks he had1 endured and no fear was
entertained thnt it would prove fatal.
It had been announced that he was
lemaining Jn doors under the care of
the nurses, who hnd been in attendance
on him most of the time since he came
to Shadow Brook. Outside of the im
mediate household, no one had any
intimation that death was near.
According to members of the house
hold, Mr. Carnegie had hoped to go to
Skibo Castle early this year, but
changed his plans when he learned thnt,
under governmental restrictions, he
would be unable to .take the retinue o
servants thnt. he desired, the regulations
limiting him to one automobile and one
chaufftur.
Arrangements for the funeral of Mr.
Carnegie were to be made by the family
later in tho day. Whether the body
would be removed to New York had
not been decided.
Mr. Carnegie had spent most of the
summer nt Lenox, coming here late in
May, and up to a few weeks ago enjoyed
himself in almost daily fishing trips on
Lnkc Mahkeenac, which borders his big
Shadow Brook estate, and in riding
about his grounds.
Mr. Carnegie camo to" Lenox to make
his home in May, 1017, and had spent
the last three summers here. Ho in
tended to spend his declining days at his
country homo here, and when he bought
it nn announcemet was made that Mr.
Carnegie would spend all of the spring
nnd summer months there.
Invalid for Two Years
Although Mr. Carnegie had been an
Invalid since 1017, when he suffered an
nttack of grip, the news of his death
was a shock to old friends nnd former
business associates. Since his previous
serious illness he had been under the
care of two nurses.
Identified so long with the interna
tional peaco movement, Mr. Cnrnegie
wns said t.o have been more severely
affected by the world war thnn most
men. It came as a hard blow to him
and the cause which he had so close at
heart.
Owing to his ill health Mr. Cnrnegie
for some time hnd led a secluded life,
nnd his withdrawal from all public ac
tivities gave rise to frequent statements
concerning his health. After his retire
ment he was compelled to limit the
number of his daily visitors and until
his last Illness he met nnd spoke with
only a few of his oldest and closest
friends.
Sought Refuge at "Shadow Brotk"
Mr. Carnegie's physicians decided he

14000 Pounds Condemned Be-
j cause of Speculators' Greed,
Food Agent Charges
BEEF SOLD AS FERTILIZER
Nearly 4000 pounds of meat, suffi
cient to have fed hundreds of Philadel
phia families, were sold for a cent and
a half a pound hero recently.
Instead of being used for food, it was
transformed into fertiliser.
This was necessary because the meat
had been kept so long in cold storage
thnt Stnte Agent Robert M. Simmers,
of tho food commission, "tagged" the
meat and forbade its sale for food.
Bvery pound of this meat, according
to Agent Simmers, could hnvc been sold
!nt a fair price to householders who
would have gladly purchased it had not
the owner of the meat wished to hold
off "just a little longer," waiting for
the market to get n few notches higher.
"On an average, twice r week lots of
meats are 'tugged' for having been kept
too long in the c'old storage ware
houses,," said Agent Simmers today.
"That is to say, a considerable por
tion of the community could be well fed
day nfter day with the meat which the
speculators let go to waste rather than
risk a slight loss by selling it on a
falling maiket."
The case referred to b Mr Simmers
illustrates this.
In Storage Over Legal Time
"1 was forced to tag 'M'2o pounds
of meat." said the pine food agent. "It
hud been Kept iu cold stoinge over the
legal time -which is now twele months

"This food included lamb, mutton,
porlt una beef. It was bought by a local
de.iler wlin beef was rising nbout a
ear ago. Ho put it in storage, expect
ing to make n profit on further increases
in price.
"Instead of rising further price? on
the meuts he had bought went down
slightly. He postponed tnking the meat
out of storage from time to time, hop
ing for n further rise.
Finally the time limit set by law
expired, Simmers "tagged" the meat
and the speculator was completely out of
pocket. A maker of fertilizer came along
and bought the meat.
"He paid $45 for the whole lot for
the .'1025 pounds. This is something like
a cent nnd a half a pound."
There are other methods, however,
of dealing with condemned meat than

for General Bliss to make in a cona

Knows of No German-Japanese Pact
Replying to a Senate resolution ask
ing for information regarding nuy treaty
purporting to hnvc been made by Japan
nnd Germany during the progress of the
great war, the President said he knew
of no such negotiations, though he had
heard rumors concerning them.
President Wilson also informed the
Senate in response, to another resold -tion,
that he was "happy to say" that
he had no memorandum or information
with reference to any attempt of the
Japanese delegates at Paris to intimi
date the Chinese peace delegates.
President Wilson wrote Chairman
Lodge, of the Scnnte foreign relations
committee, today thnt it would not bo
possible to comply with thetfeommit
tees request for the documents used
by the American peace commissioners
at Paris in negotiating the pence treaty.
"The various data bearing upon or
used in connection with the treaty of
pence with Germany," said the Presi
dent, "are so miscellaneous and enor
mous iu mass that it would be impos
sible for me to supply them without
bringing from Paris the whole file of
papers of the commission itself, and
would include many memoranda which,
it wns agreed on grounds of public poU
ic, it would be unwise to make use
of outside the conference."
The President, however, sent to
Chairman Lodge, the informal drrvft of
the league-of-nations covenant present
cd by the American peace commis
sioners nt Paris and al.so tho formal re.
port of the commission on the league
of nations.
