NO LONGER WORRY
ABOUT MARKETING
Railroad Men Have Succeeded
Their Wives in Hunt For
Cheaper Food
No longer is the high cost of living
Worrying railroad employes because
their wives can no longer do the mar
keting in country towns along the
main line of the Pennsylvania rail
road, as a result of the elimination of
passes.
The men are now doing the mar
keting.
Passenger trainmen report increased
travel every Tuesday and Friday be
tween Harrisburg and Mifflin and on
the Philadelphia division between
Philadelphia and Lancaster. Shop
employes are somewhat handicapped
because they only get Saturday as a
half holiday, but they are doing the
marketing late on Saturday and are
finding it quite profitable, as they get
country produce much cheaper than
at local markets.
On the Middle division the big rush
twice a week is to Newport, Millers
town and Mexico. The Philadelphia
men are as far west as Lancaster. The
trains leaving here at 8 o'clock and
10.25 In the morning are crowded.
On the Philadelphia division the early
morning trains leaving Philadelphia
between 4 and 6 o'clock in the morn
ing are once more referred to as mar
ket trains. Passenger engineers who
have a long lay-off find it an easy
matter to do the marketing, but the
freight men must lose from two to
four houra' sleep at times In order to
keep down the high cost of butter and
pggs.

Express Companies
Must Cut Expenses
Special to The Telegraph
New York, Feb. 3. —With the re
duced express rates conies the neces
s'ty for a curtailing of expenses on
the part of the express companies.
Executive officials of the five big ex
press companies to-day considered
economies of operation whicfi, they
say, will be necessitated by the reduc
tion in rates, which went into effect
on Sunday upon the order of the Inter
state Commerce Commission. Speak
ing lor all the companies, F. F. Flagg,
first vice-president of the American
Express Company, said:
"The companies feel that the adop
tion of such greatly-reduced rates
must be viewed with the gravest ap
prehension as to the outcome. They
are, however, confronted with three
alternatives: First, an appeal to the
courts; second, the dissolution of the
companies through liquidation, of the
giving of a fair trial to the low rates.
But with a realization that the express
service is essential to the commercial
interests of the country, and that the
shipping public is entitled to the pro
tection afforded by the continuation
of the express service, provided the
new conditions would afford a just re
muneration to the express coihpanies,
they •decided upon an earn/st effort
to make a success of the new rates "
Freight Traffic Slow. Freight
movement over the Pennsy during
January was 2,000 cars below that of
the first month in 1913. The total num
ber of cars moved last month was
1 1 4,430 cars, or an average of 6,629
cars daily. To haul these cars required
2,947 trains.
The loaded rar movement showed
a total of 101,893 ears, of which 81,-
343 came East and 20,550 went West.
The traffic decrease was due to slow
shipments during the first week of the
new year. February, though a short
month, Is expected to show a total
movement equal to that of January
Reading Men Promoted.—Two for
mer Reading Railway employes have

BABMBBURQ qfiKS* TELEGRAPfi
GOVERNOR JUSTIFIED
IN REDUCING FEES
Letter of Stran&han to Powell
Show* Extent Abate of Prac
tice Had Reached
M That Govern or
W Teller was entire
• 4ft lie lopped SIOO,OOO
I from the fund for
I nows employed by
from a ad
dressed to Auditor General Powell by
Attorney James H. Stranahan, of this
city. Powell objected to the state
ment that Henry C. Wasson, the Pro
gressive leader, had received $16,000
from the State In fees of the Auditor
General's Department, on the ground
that it reflected unfairly on his ad
ministration, and Mr. Stranahan's let
ter Is In reply. It follows:
"My dear Air. Powell: I have your
letter of January 30, 1914, in which
you say 'you are quoted in the news
papers as saying before the court of
Dauphin county that you knew that
Henry G. Wasson, Esq., had received
over J 16,000 from the Auditor Gen
eral's office in fees, and raisings the
inference that this was for fees under
the act of 1911.'
"In answer to your letter, a refer
ence to the case In court may not bo
out of place at the outset. The hear
ing before the court was in a suit
brought by the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania in assumpsit on the 18th
day of April, 1913, and on a bill for
discovery on the 6th day of May,
1913, against the Dollar Savings Bank
of Pittsburgh, Pa., under the act of
June 16th, 1911, P. L. 974, 'to provide
| for the better collection of money
| and taxes due the Commonwealth, and
property belonging to, or liable to
escheat to the same.' This suit was
brought by direction of Auditor Gen
eral Sisson, before you assumed the
office of Auditor General and as I am
informed, you were in no way inform
ed or consulted in regard to it and
were not aware of the hearing and
argument before the court on a de
murrer to the bill of discovery. The
case was placed on the argument list
by the Attorney General.
"My argument In the case had only
to do with what I considered the vice
of the act of 1911 and similar legis
lation.
"The act placed the collection 'of
all money and taxes due the Com
monwealth, or property belonging to
or liable to escheat to the same' at
the discretion of the Auditor General
and authorized him to employ one or
more counsel learned in the law to
prosecute the same, leaving the At
torney General's Department out of
the question. In my argument I con
tended that this act was confusing
and contradictory, against the policy
of the law and against public policy,
fostered favoritism created additional
expense to the Commonwealth and
should be declared null and void.
"I referred to the act of 1857, P. L.
266, section 2 of which provides that
All debts which the Auditor General
and State Treasurer know to be due to
the Commonwealth from all sources
whatsoever shall be handed over to the
Attorney General for collection.'. This
act also provides that the Attorney
General shall subscribe to an oath
and give bond.
"The act of 1911 makes no provis
ion for the discretionary counsel eith
er to subscribe to an oath or give bond
for collections made. In my opinion
I made no reflection upon or criticism
of the Auditor General or Henry G.
Wasson, Esq., or any other attorney
who had been employed by the Audi
tor General. I said in my argument
that the newspsuiers of two years ago.
In the campaign of 1911, published
the names of attorneys and the sev
eral amounts that they had received
and I stated that among those pub
lished was that Mr. Wasson had re
ceived $16,000 for services. In tliij I
was mistaken in the amount as it now
appears that he only received some
thing over $14,000 as stated by the
papers.
"My remarks were not intended as
a reflection on Mr. Wasson as it is
to be presumed he was entitled to all
he received. »
"I contended that the Auditor Gen
eral had full authority to make all
these collections by the Attorney Gen
eral without the aid of the act of
1911 and this position was not denied
during the trial of the case. There
was nothing in my argument that
these payments were made under the
act of 1911 to Mr. Wasson as his ser
vices as published by the newspapers
were for years prior to 1911 as taken
from the Auditor General's reports.
"There was no room for any infer
ence in my remarks to the court for
any reflection upon you or the ad
ministration of your office.
"As relating to your conduct of your
administration of your department, let
me assure you, as far as I am con
cerned, from my own knowledge and
Information there is not the remotest
ground for any criticism or com
plaint."

of lodgers and drunks in the base
ment, huddling them together in a
small room, and making the basement
unhealthy for the attaches about the
police department. If we allow these
men to roam at large they would
commit some crime in order to get
locked up."
Other Itecomnicndalioiis
Mayor Royal also recommends the
erection of a workhouse jointly with
the county; increase in the area of
the new cluster and arc lighting sys
tem; the placing of street signs on all

sessments, specializing the "Sommers"
system as a good one for Ilarrisburg;
revision of the building laws; increas

pairs and water rates should be ac
cordingly reduced."
The Mayor compliments the work

cold, you aro in constant danger of
easily contracting serious Lung
Trouble. The cough or cold which does
not yield to ordinary treatment should
be a warning to you and preventive

taken with a heavy cold and a nasty
short cough. 1 went to several doctors,
who gave me a lot of medicine. Final
ly, I went to a specialist, who gave me
creosote that made me sick of all kinds
of food; consequently I failed In health.
I then went to the Catskllls, and seem
ed to get bettor, but the cough still
kept up. I stayed there for one year,
anrl then went to a farm near Jersey
City, a very sick man. About the time
of my return, my brother recommended
Eckman's Alterative to me very highly
It is now nearly two years since I first
took it. lam now well, and I dare say
that I would have been burled long ago
If it had not been for Eckman's Alter
ative."
