Railroad Need Not
Pay City Bonus Til
Work Starts in Spring
Not until the work on the proposed
South Harrisburg freight station im
provements has been started will the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company be
required to pay over $25,000 bonus to
the city In accordance with the pro
visions of the ordinance giving the
company the right of way In South
Harrisburg.
This was the opinion expressed by
Mayor Royal this morning when asked
whether any money had been paid to
the city. The railroad officials do not
anticipate any activity on these Im
provements until Spring.
Charges Made Against
Prison Management
Philadelphia, Jan. 29.—Accusations
of inhumanity and brutality were pre
ferred against the management of
Moyamensing prison yesterday.
A widow told the five Common Pleas
Court Judges, Who are investigating
conditions at the Tenth and Reed
streets jail, that, to all intents and
purposes her husband had been killed
in prison. She said he had been starv
ed to death. An ex-prisoner testified
that when he told a keeper he was
ill and asked him to summon a physi
cian, the reply was a threat of physical
violence if he did not keep quiet. He
did not keep quiet and his punishment
was a blow that knocked out two
teeth.
YOUNG MOTHER UNDERGOES
CAESARIAN OPERATION
Another Caesarian operation, the
second within two months, was per
formed at the Harrisburg hospital
to-day on the youngest patient who
has ever undergone that test of sur
gical skll in this , city. She is Mrs.
Raymond Witman, aged 18 years, of
Penbrook.
Mrs. Witman is recovering although
her baby Is dead. The other patient
who underwent the same operation
some weeks ago died under the knife.
CELEBRATE M'KINLET DAY
Harrisburg folks did not forget this
was the anniversary day of the birth
of the late President William McKln-
Ley and many hundred carnations
%re worn in this city. Local florists
say that sales of carnations to-day ex
ceeded all previous years. Every
member of the Harrisburg police de
partment wore a carnation. There
was no celebration in Harrisburg. The
principal observance of the day was
at Canton, Qhio, the home of the
"Martyred Prf-'ident."

the road which figured in the suit."
He showed a slide of road as good as
a race track at a county fair.
"The best thin? the Highway Com
missioner could do would be to hold
road conventions all over the State,
but hold them right out on the roads.
Use practical object lessons. The
township highway law of 1913 is not a
bad law; it's a good law.
Last night's session of the board
was featured by pertinent addresses
on different topics which were receiv
ed with close attention by the farm
ers.
Two heads of State departments
talked Superintendent of Public
Printing and Binding A. Nevin Pome
roy and State Librarian Thomas Lynch
Montgomery. Reports were also re
ceived and an address was made by
Professor M. S. McDowell, of State
College.
Superintendent Porneroy confessed
thiU.it was a bit difficult, to interest
farmers directly in printing, but he
dwelt upon the big educational work
of the Slate in sending out bulletins
and advised all of them to study the
bulletins of the Department of Agri
culture and its branches. Touching
upon delays In issuing documents
which are not unknown, Mr. Porneroy
said that he is an earnest advocate
of a State-owned printery, but inform
ed his hearers that such a plan is
impossible without an amendment to
the constitution.
Librarian Montgomery devoted most
of his address to the traveling library
system of the State institution, citing
some of the work it has done and urg
ing that use be made of these free cir
culating libraries In every c6rner of
the State. He also referred to the ex
cellent free circulating collection of
lantern slides which the State museum
has under him and urged the use of
this educational material. R. P. Bliss,
who is In charge of the traveling li
braries, invited the agriculturists to
visit the library and see how the sys
tem Is worked.
Professor McDowell spoke of the
educational work of State College not
particularly among the students at the
college, but more especially among the
citizens at large in the matter of liter
ature, farmer's trains, etc.
State Economic Zoologist H. A. Sur
face, reporting as theornithologist of
the board, gave an outline of the pro
tected and unprotected birds of the
State and of the work they do and
in conclusion he showed lantern slides
of San Jose Scale parasites which are
cleaning up the orchards of the State.
Professor Franklin Menges, of York,
presented his report as entomologist
of the board; John H. Schultz, of
Norristown, as chairman of the ferti
lizers committee, and Sylvester Shaf
fer, of New Castle, as chairman of the
wool and textile fibers committee.
James Foust, dairy and food com
missioner, was scheduled to speak late
yesterday afternoon, but was busy In
court and Dr. Joseph Kalbfus, chief
game protector, who was to speak to
morrow morning, made his address
then. Dr. Kalbfus made an earnest
plea for the preservation of bird life,
saying very little about the aesthetic
side. He devoted himself principally
to economics, quoting figures of loss
and possible loss from insects which
ran from billions to sextillions and had
his audience gasping.
More State Police
a Necessity For
Rural Districts
Major iohri C. Groome, superinten
dent of State police, this morning
talked to the board on "Police Pro
tection to Rural Districts," setting
forth details of the work which are
probably unfamiliar to many citizens.
Major Groome recited the methods
of organization and maintenance of
the force and then told how the rural
districts in general get protection dur
ing the summer by the scores of sub
stations which are established and
which cover hundreds of miles by
daily patrol, do local detective and
protective work, fight forest fires,
help enforce game and fish laws, etc.
In 1912 the department received
2,592 requests for help from mayors,
judges, sheriffs, etc., nearly all of
which came from small places with
little or no local protection. The
calls averaged eight per day. The
200 men on the force cover 491,000
miles per year, working every day.
In six years, the force has covered 2,-
142,000 miles and made 20,676 ar
rests.
"The common Idea that the State
police are like a fire company, set
ting around waiting for an alarm, is
entirely wrong," he said. "They are
constantly on duty. Unfortunately,
riot duty is the most spectacular work
we do, although it is but a small item.
We have made as many arrests for
horse stealing as we have for riot,
and we have made more for murder
and more for rape.
"A group of idle men, inflamed by
an agitation and probably some al
cohol, becomes a mob and a riot
starts. Local methods fail and the
State police are called. We recognize
nothing as an excuse for rioting. No
matter what the merits of the strike
the men must preserve law and or
der. Naturally, we have incurred the
enmity of some worklngmen, but I
am glad to say that the better class
of English speaking laboring men are
changing their views."
In conclusion. Major Groome said
the way to get more protection is
to have more police.
"I consider the refusal of the last
Legislature to Increase the force a di
rect Invitation to criminals in this
State. I hope the next session will
do better. You men can be of great
help. The farmers are the men who
rule the State. We ought to have
such a police force In Pennsylvania
that no farm, no matter how remote
or Isolated, Is without protection.
Remember, our work Is entirely in
the country, except on riot duty. We
cannot help you as we should unless
we have sufficient men and money.
State's Fish Work
Has Expanded in
All Directions
Apt comparison of the relative eco
nomic value of an acre of land and an
acre of water was made by N. R. Bul
ler, State fish commissioner.
"Scarcely a farm exists In this
State," said Mr. Buller, "which does
not have a wet spot which can be used
as a pond for fish. All that Is need
ed Is a supply of water sufficient to
prevent the pond from becoming stag
nant. It need not be a very large
pond.
"The farmer, or several farmers go
ing together, can raise a supply of
fish sufficient not only for family use
but leave plenty over to sell."
The sunfish species known as blue
gills and the catfish are the best to
raise. If no pond exists, the cost of
construction need not be great and
the cost of maintenance Is nil. The re
turn in sport and food repays aU effort
manifold.
Introduction of tadpoles will pro
vide additional food in the shape of
frogs. Musk rats can also be raised
and, in spite of prejudice, they are
delicious food and the hidp of com
mercial value.
Commissioner Uuller. noting the
common idea that progagation of
game fish is the department's chief
work, said its really important work
is to propagate food fish. He set his
office at the disposal of any who wish
to establish food fish ponds on a farm
and urged the agriculturists to take
up the idea. Fish for stocking are
available from the department.
Fertilizer Law Is
in Much Need of Some
New Restrictions
This morning's session brought a dis
cussion of fertilizers and the consen
sus of opinion was that this business,
in general, is honest. F. S. Brong. of
Monroe, however, advocated legisla
tive creation of a State inspector of
fertilizers to carry out the work in
this line, now being done through the
general office of the Department of
Agriculture,
Mr. Brong also offered a resolution
that the legislative committee endea
vor to have passed a law requiring the
sources from which fertilizer is de
rived to be stamped on the package,
to provide for chemical analysis and
to provide heavier penalties for law
violations.
Keep Roosters Away
From Hens, Says
Poultry Expert
Separation of roosters and liens will
do much toward Improving the quan
tity and quality of eggs for food, W.
Theodore Wlttman, of Allentown. told
the board this morning In making the
report of the poultry committee of the
board.
"Millions of dollars' worth of eggs
can so bo added to the State's annual
supply," he said. "That Is no ex
aggeration. All males should be shut
up and kept shut up, or else they
should be caponized or killed when
not more than three months old. A
few males must be kept, of course,
but they should be selected carefully
for breeding and handled carefully
only for breeding. The hens will have
better health, better plumage, will lay
better and will live longer.
Dr. M. E. Conrad, of West Chester,
reported as chairman of the livestock
committee and went Into detail In urg
ing a higher standard of all grades
of livestock throughout the State,
H. C. KUnger, of Liverpool, report
ing as apiarist of the board, gave in
teresting statistics of the beekeeping
industry in this State which, he said,
iB yearly increasing in Importance.
Pennsylvania now ranks second in the
beekeeping Industry. Mr. Kllnger In
vited the board to the annual meet
ing of the Pennsylvania State Bee
keepers' Association at the Capitol,
February 20 and 21.

was Auditor General Powell, who, in
discussing taxation, said:
"With rare exception, contribu
tions to governmental revenues are In
voluntary; and Involuntary payments
are of two classes: First, there are
prices charged by government for
some special service or privilege,
these being fees or licenses; and sec
ond, amounts levied regardless of con
siderations of special benefit, these
being fines and taxes. Payments of
the second class are enforced to meet
the government's net operating deficit.
If government charged for each ser
vice rendered a fee sufficient to cover
cost of service. Including carrying and
overhead charges plus provision for
replacements, Insurance and a reserve
for lean years, there need be no taxes;
or only sufficient to raise that small
amount necessary to provide for mis
cellaneous expenses of a very general
nature.
"The true theory of raising revenue
for expenses of government, is that
fees should cover cost, including over
head charges and reasonable reserve;
that license fees should equal or
slightly exceed the value of the privi
lege granted; and that taxes proper
should be levied in proportion to the
ability of the individual taxed to bear
government's burdens.
"It is an erroneous idea that prop
erty is taxed. Tax is levied against
the owner, and its amount is regulated
in some degree by the value of his
property.
"Pennsylvania reserves, for State
taxation, only the owners of property
which takes the corporate form. It
taxes the bonds or other evidences of
Indebtedness issued by corporations,
in the hands of the holders, and makes
treasurers of these corporations the
State's agents for collection of the tax,
which is four mills on par value. The
State also lays a tax of Ave mills on
the value of capital stock outstanding,
and requires certain public utility cor
porations to pay a tax of eight mills
upon the dollar of their gross receipts.
From these three principal sources of
revenue the State last year received
about $18,000,000."

CONCENTRATE PRESSURE
ON INFLUENTIAL STOCKS
Bears Act on Theory That Substantial Reaction Was Over
due; Bonds Were Irregular
By Associated Press
New York, Jan. 29. The redaction
of the English and French bank rates
failed to stimulate bullish operations In
this market, and prices readily foil
away when pressure was applied. The
only reflection of Improved conditions
in European monetary markets was ac
tive buying of stock here for foreign
account.
London and the Continent bought ■
30.000 shares, chiefly Canadian Pacific,
Steel. Amalgamated and some of the
minor railway shares. Bears concen- j
trated pressure on Influential stocks,
particularly steel and Reading, acting
011 the theory that a substantial reac
tion was overdue.
The unfavorable charactor of Decem
ber statements of various railroad and
Industrial companies furnished a pre
text for bear selling. Losses of most
of the active shares were limited to
fractions and bidding up of individual
stocks gave the list as a whole an ir
regular appearance.
Bonds were Irregular.
