that there must be an increase in the
salaries of diplomatic secretaries if the

Farmers of Lancaster County,

n barn there, fear the firebug who has
burned en nn average of three te four
barns a week for the last two months
In Chester, Delaware and Montgomery
Counties, has transferred his firebrand

Their nlnrm Is based en the burn

its origin te many of these in Chester,
Delaware and Montgomery counties.

'BIG OVERHEAD THEIR PLEA
In the first eleven months of thin year
Ernest N. Ress, nn official stenographer
of Common Picas Court Ne. 1. has
mnndamuscd the city for $15,210,84 for
typewritten transcript of court proceed
ings nt fifteen cents a hundred words
nnd expenses of stationery hud sup
plies. This is in addition te his snlnry of
5-1000 n year ns official court stinos stines
rapher nnd his 5 per cent bonus of $200.
The records de net show hew much has
been collected from lawyers for carbon
copies of the records for which he Is
allowed te charge ten cents a hun
dred words.
Ress is only one stenographer in this
court. There nre two ethers. Every
ether court also has its official stenog
raphers who are allowed tills rate of
tmv for their work in addition te their
snlarlcs, until the mandamus receipt
henlr in dnte for this vear shows that
the work of the court stenographers
nnd their typewriting Ruppnci nave
cost the county $125,700.11.
The size of the yearly payments te
these stenographers was brought te pub
lic attention by Ceuncilmnn Devlin Inst
month, but it remnlned for a study of
the mandamus receipt book te show ex-
eh each man had received
Ress holds the record. Ills close sec-
end is Lewis Hepper, of Common Pleas
Court Ne. C, whose mandamus ac
count shows $12,820.30 se far this
Tlie stenographers hnve been making
mere money than the Governer of the
Commonwealth. Judges nnd ethers In
high authority. Once or twice the sub
Jcct of salaries nnd fees of court stenog
raphers has been buffeted about the
Council fleer.
Point te "Overhead"
Thu stenographers insist, however
that "all isn't geld that gMttcrs, nnd
that the greatet portion et their man
damus receipts nre paid out In salaries
and compensation for their assistants.
Their nverage net earnings for n year s
period, they say runs between $5000
and $0000. . , , ,
Vn nnrttcnlnr fund is set eslde te pay
for these, fees, which nre allowed by law
In this State, hence the mandamus. And
the mandamus receipt records which are
available in tlie oince ei me ..iiy uu uu
ter show what has been collected in the
wav of fees nnd expense money bv tlie
sherthnnd experts. The record reveals
that the popular conception of ste
nographers' earnings is far from the
truth, nt least in these cases.
The fees for Ress, for instnnce.
month by month this yenr, as shown by
the mandamus receipt book, were as
fellows :
January, $1710.52: February,
$1740.73: March, S1S74.70; April,

$2081.44; July. $485: August. $824.40;
September, 1101.30: October, $1353.33;
November, $1103.35.
Hepper's heaviest month for the year
Is the present one. His first mandamus
tills month was for S1074.27. In four
months this year his fees nnd stationery
expenses nmeunt te mere than $1500
each. Three ether months show receipts
of mere than i?lmn) each.
Profit Small, He Says
Ress, the second man en the list,
nltheugh his mandamus receipts for
eleven months amount te mere than
$15,000 and his salary $4200 mere for
the year, he asserts that his net earn
ings for 1022 will net be much higher
than $5000.
William F. Cliff, of Common Pleas
Court Ne. 2, has a mandamus record se
far this year amounting te $3412.75.
He keeps accurate records of his re
ceipts and expenditures, and in 1021 M
net earnings were approximately $400
les than his salary. He received in
snlary nnd by mandamus $10085.40.
He paid $2a't7.11 for typewriting. He
paid $2300.20 te stenographers who as
sisted him and $733.40 for miscellaneous

In addition te this, he sold te lnw
yers interested In the enses he reported
copies of transcripts nt live cents a
hundred words for n total of $1005.30.
The collections for this work, however,
und ether official stenographers bear
him out, amount te only 50 per cent.
The rest are net paid for.
C. O. McClain, also of Common Pleas
Court Ne. 2, and president of the as
sociation composed of court stenog
raphers, has had mandamus receipts
this year of S5.000.70.
"I've get four people living en what

here Is general. They take their notes
in court in sherthnnd. Outside of court
they read their notes into a dictating
machine nnd the typists write from the
spoken record of the cylinder. When
the typewriting is dene the court sten
ographer must go ever it and certify
that it is correct.
Seme of the typists employed by the
court stenographers in Philadelphia arc

page and receive twelve cents. Assist
ant stenographers who actuully take
the testimony receive all of the regular
fee for the work.
Paul Vosberg,' of Court Ne. 3. who
has innndamused se far this year for
if.sa.ii.tii, declared that nearly $3000
of that amount has been paid te as
sistants and for his supplies. His net

than $0000, including receipts fren.
lawyers for copies of the records.
Typist Alse Is Lawyer

fore the Legislature n few years age

An interesting feature of the man
damus Is its negotiability nt the banks.
The mandamus carries interest at the
rate of 0 per cent from the time it is
ordered until the city is able te scrape
the money together te pay it. In the
meantime the bunks accept them at face

them the safety of city obligations and
