NOW PROVEN TO BE CORRECT Government Lost Many Thousand Dollars—Federal Official Arrested— Why Some Were Removed—Berry Will Be Confirmed. More or less interest Is manifest | over the delay of the U. 8S. Senate to confirm Willlam H. Berry for Col- lector of Customs at the port of Phil- adelphia. The name was sent to the senate several weeks ago by Presi- dent Wilson, and opposition imme- diately developed to his confirmation. Senator Olliver raised an objection to the confirmation later and since then there has been no action. Several weeks ago the writer sat in the gallery oJ the House of Repre- sentatives at Washington and wit. nessed a sensation when the Hon. A. Mitchell Palmer arose and made some pointed remarks in reference to the manghr in which valuations had been made on importations at the Philadel- phia port. It came like a thunderbolt in the midst of the dry debate on the var- fous tariff schedules. Republicans were disconcerted, the Democratic members were jubilant, the galleries were aroused, and Mr. Palmer sat down amidst great applause. The sensation sprung by Mr. Palm- er created great excitement, and what he said no doubt had much to do with the resignations demanded by President Wilson, and the immediate naming of four new men in the var- | fous departments of the Port of Phil- adelphia, to succeed the Republicans, whose regular terms had not expired The following extract of that speech is taken from the Congressional Rec- ord of Tuesday, April 29th: Mr Palmer sald: “Mr. PALMER. Mr. Chairman, I want to say a word in answer to the old-fashioned, stock RepNblican ar- gument which has been presented here by the gentleman from Michi gan (Mr. Fordney) against the ad valorem rates in this bill. It is true that all through the bill, in accord- ante with Democratic precedent and Democratic belief, we have written ad valorem rates wherever we thought they were practicable and able. * . . “I want to say one further That I think gentlemen will under the administration by the party which believes that the first Interest in the receipts of the custom-house is that of the Govern- ment rather than that of interested AY producers or importers, find during the next four] during the operation of this] Jess under-valuations than found under the Payne law ft is currently reported that great importer, a great merchant in the city of Philadelphia, a man who in days gone has performed great service for the Republican Party, who Bas collected enorme campaign funds from the beneficiaries of the tariff laws ix the State of Pen nit for the use of the Republican Party, and who has held a high place in the Government under a Republi can administration to Wash- ington on the 3d of March, within 24 hours of the time that the Republi- can administration was to g wt of power, and settled with the Treasury Department fraudulent-entry cases at the port of Philadelphia, extending over 10 or 12 years and involving an amount of more than $100,000, “On the very eve of the Democrat- 4¢ administration coming into that was done, because of the that the Democratic administration woud! look out for the interests of the Government and see that the revenue honestly levied should be h paid Into the treasury “I am glad to say that, largely responsible for the cleaning ott of the Philadelphia customhouse by the present administration, and the President has appointed for col- fector of the port of Philadelphia a man under whom no such conduct can prevall in the future, a man who made his reputation In Pennsylvania by prosecuting capital grafters, rob- i man whose only enemies are ax-Republican State officials and State officeholders, now or recently residing in the State penitentiary, {Applause on the Democratic side.) 1 am satisfied that these ad valorem rates will bring the amount which the Government is the law. (Applause The thing find that conducted Is nsyiva came power fear nestly that act was above remarks greatly annoy- «d the Republicans, and while they did not deny the main facts, a reply wis attempted by Congressman Moore The next morning every Philadel. phia daily paper was carefully scanned and large headlines were naturally ex. pected. Imagine the surprise when there was not a line or word con. aerning Palmer's charge that Wannamakr had planked down $100, 900 In the 17, 8. Treasury, just 24 hours before Woodrow Wilson was inaug- ted, for undervaluations at the ladelphia port, extending over a Period of ten or more years. Instead of seeing any reference to ‘the $100,000 undervaluation scandal, ach paper contained full page adver. ‘tisements of the John Wannamaker ¢ in Philadelphia, and since then same papers have avoided any reference to the matter "Jt looks as though these great publi tions have deliberately suppressed rtant news, in order to maintain the favor of a large advertiser C What Representative Palmer's to do with the delay Mr. Berry's confismation we can say. Republicans generally are osed to Perry's confirmation. John nnamaker, also, may have in mind scandals that Berry exposed at rrisburg and does not favor any rther “lifting of the lid” In the Phil.

Bellefonte publishers in idly berating (he i town for not engaging in thelr papers to exploit thelr Almost every week offensive language applied generally t the business men Bellefonte, On the other hand the Centre ocrat has a different complaint. There {8 a common contention at this office, week, with these same business i men, as we do not have sufficient ad- vertising space at our disposal to meet {all demands, Our trouble is that {is too much advertising offered lat good prices, which we cannot | cept, as the size of the paper is ited. Bellefonte merchants are customed to inquire whether we spare them space, and in most engage it ahead of time. We find Bellefonte merchants wide- awake, aggressive and with a due ap- preciation of the value of printers’ ink. They further are intelligent ad- vertisers who appreciate the full val- ue of a live paper with a wide circu- lation, that reaches the people of Cen- tre county. From past experience, they know that circulation is what counts and brings the best results. Our trouble is that Bellefonte mer- chants offer us too much advertising, for the size of the paper. That is the difference and “ther: reason.” unre eN8 SDRC wares lis 0 of Dem - every us, ac lim- ac- can cases is a FELL FROM HOUSE ROOF. On Monday morning about half past seven o'clock Edward Hepburn, the carpenter, met with a serious mis- hap, which will lay him up for some time.
