RUMORS FLOATING MTWIGEDEMIN Motherhood Men in Harrisburg Say There Is Nothing to the Story Railroad circles were somewhat stir red to-day by the report that in the event of an adverse decision regarding passes for members of families of rail road employes, there would be a gen eral demand for increased wages. The idea was laughed at by membors of local brotherhood men in Harrisburg. The report came from Altoona, where meetings are being held each week in the interest of the Federal Brotherhood of Railway Employes. Brotherhood men said this morning that the an nouncement of a further demand for more wages is false. The Brotherhoods are not inclined to act hastily and the only thing to do is to wait for the de cision on the pass question.

INDUSTRIAL BOUfl) MEETS IEXT MONTH Commissioner Jackson Has Ar ranged For a Start of Its Work For State Pen nsylvania's W new Idust r1 a I f jflbk regulations State, will begin lis work on February 4 when the first of the monthly meetings will be held. At this meeting a general outline of the work to be handled will be made and problems which hnvc arisen In the administration of the factory in spections and other laws will be taken up.

Justices Needed. —Scores of ap pointments of justices of the peace will have to be made this winter to fill vacancies which are turning up among the magistrates of the State.

The number of declinations of office is larger than usual. Coal Tax Suit. —Filing of the action in equity for a test of the constitu tionality of the anthracite coal case will not halt the steps by the Auditor General's Department for collection of the tax because the bill entered in the case does not ask for an injunction except after hearing. Coal producers have until the end of this month to file their sworn statements of pro duction during 1913 and then the bills will be made up and sent out from the Capitol. Attorney General Bell will determine during the coming week the manner of meeting the suit, whether a demurrer or an answer should be filed. It is probable that the suit wilt be argued in the Dauphin county court within a few months and that other coal companies will enter into the pro ceedings in order to secure test of questions which have arisen.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH WILL WELCOME ANY PROBE OF METHODS [Continued from First Page] that General Pratt, a former superin tendent, is back of the movement to oust Superintendent Friedman. "Why, that is always the cry," he said this morning. "Every time there is any trouble at the school and an investigation is intimated. General Pratt Is blamed for being 'the man behind the gun' by some people, who say he wants the superintendency again. General Pratt told me only recently that he was glad to be free and had no desire to be superintend ent of any school. General Pratt Is a man who has his whole heart in the welfare of the Indian and takes a per sonal interest in every movement for the development of the race." Mr. Wheelock was a student and an employe at the Indian school from 1889 until 1900. He was graduated in 1896. Since Mr. Friedman has been in charge of the school he has not had any connection with the institution, but he knows many of the employes and students there. He said this morning that some of his friends at the school had told him on a number of occasions that Mr. Friedman would go away from the school for two and three days at a time without any per son knowing where he was and also that he never takes any responsibility for anything that goes wrong in the school. If something goes wrong, said Mr. Wheelock, "the blame will be shifted about until it finally rests on some other person's shoulders." Regarding the liquor charges, Mr. Wheelock said he believed, but was not positive, that several charges In volving the illegal sale of liquor to the Indians were made while he was in school. Continuing, he said: "There was little cause for investigations ot the sale of liquor because of the strict discipline. The punishment was so severe that the students did not want to break the rules of the institution. From what I can understand now, the discipline is loose. "While I was in school," said Wheelock, "every man had to be In hie room and In his night dress by 9.30 o'clock, with his clothes hanging a certain way on a chair. At Inter vals during the night inspections would be made, so there was little chance to get out for liquor or for any other purpose." Mr. Wheelock attended school at the time Frank Mount Pleasant, Frank Cayou, Edward Rogers, Levi St. Cyr, Leander Gansworth and other prominent athletes were students there.
