EFFORTS TO REDUCE HIGH GDST OF LIVING Pennsylvania Railroad Agents to Take Up Plans Next Week at Altoona Freight and passenger agents, of the Middle Diviison, will hold their monthly meeting at Altoona,Wednesday, June 17. At this meeting plans will he discussed as to the best methods of getting pro duce from farms along the Middle Di vision, direct to the consumers, with a view to reducing the high cost of liv ing. At present most of the produce Is bought up by hucksters, and when It reaches the consumers, the prices have been doubled. One plan suggested is to have market cars run between Altoona and Harrisburg, stopping at intermedi ate points to gather up produce. Dis tricts will be assigned for eastern and western deliveries. The freight agents will arrange with local dealers to re ceive orders. This plan is similar to that adopted by the Adams Express Company at Philadelphia and other points. Whether these market cars will be attached to local passenger trains is a Question. The Altoona Gazette says: "The railroads through their agents are making an effort to reach the farmers, and at a former meeting the agents were instructed to talk the matter over with farmers in communi ties where food products are raised, with the object in view of getting the farmers to ship their products to the markets so that the supply would be larger. "Agents will come to this meeting with reports as to what is produced in their communities, and with sugges tions as to the best methods of getting the farmers interested enough to ship their products. Addresses will be de livered by men prominent in shipping and food producing circles, and it is ex pected to launch a campaign that will bring the farm nearer the city."

TELLS SECRET Of REPEAL OF TOLLS [Continued From First Pace] * ; for violating the confidence of the White House conference, and with Senator Tillman scolding the President for "blundering," the debate on the tolls bill drew to a close in the Senate last nighty All plajis for a vote, however, waited on the pleasure of Senator I«i Follette, who is known to be preparing himself for a final dramatic entry into the arena, full panoplied and against re peal. Smith's statements of the reasons which prompted the President to ask the repeal of the tolls exemption legis lation verged on the sensational. Senator Smith, who is a member of the Senate committee on foreign rela tions, hinted at a delicate situation with reference to Japan and to close diplomatic relations with Japan and Great Britain. He told of the incident of the visit to Huerta of officers from a Japanese vessel lying in the port of Vera Cruz and the attention shown tbem by the City of Mexico. Driven to Ask Repeal Senator Smith intimated as broadly as he could that the President was driven to ask for the repeal of the tolls exemption law as a concession to Great Britain in order to hold the moral and diplomatic support of that power and keep Japan at boy In the Mexican situation. Senator Clapp, of Minnesota, Re publican, questioned Mr. Smith after the references to the delicate inter national relations which had been re ferred to by the President when he had asked for the "ungrudging sup port" of Congress on the free tolls I exemption issue. The President him self never has disclosed in detail what ho meant by this reference. "A few moments ago," said Senator Clapp, "the senator from Michigan made the statement that if it had not been for the internal difficulties of Mexico we never would .have heard of this proposition to repeal the free tolls clause. I do not know how others feel, but I certainly would be very much Interested in the narration or discussion of any possible relation be tween the revolution in Mexico and the repeal of tolls at Panama, a thou sand miles or so south of Mexico." "The first time it was ever men tioned to any committee of Congress," replied Senator Smith, "it was men tioned by the President to a commit tee sitting in his office considering the Mexican situation at its most acute stage, and when it was suggested that the hands of our ambassador in Lon don might be strengthened <by such a course I for one protested." Clapp Not Convinced "But what," asked Senator Clapp, with surprise, "had our ambassador in London to do with our relations with Mexico? That is what Interests me." "Does the senator know that Eng land has a treaty of offensive and de fensive alliance with Japan?" asked Senator Smith. "The senator froro Minnesota knows of the unusual friendship existing between these two great governments." "The senator knows that Japan at one time, not far distant, became greatly interested in the Mexican sit uation. He knows that the officers of the Japanese battleship paid a visit to the City of Mexico for a week. It was Just at that identical moment that the administration seemed to be impressed with the necessity of finding an ally for the settlement of the most aggra vating conditions in our neighboring republic to th© south." The Senate by this time was greatly interested in the discussion, chiefly be cause Mr. Smith is a member of the foreign relations committee, which on one or two occasions has been sum moned to the White House for a con ference on Mexico. "Then," said Senator Clapp, "we have reached that point in national decadence where we buy peace, is that it?" "I cannot find any other motive," replied Mr. Smith. "I believe that if the truth were known the British government has been assured that 7 _ ' , v •• '»•*" " y-» V WEDNESDAY EVENING HARRISBURO 'ljfijgftfl TELEGRAPH JUNE 10, 1914. , Firemen for 103, 128.

Japanese Started Bother Senator Smith reiterated that all was quiet in this country until after the Japanese visited Mexico City. "Then all of a sudden,'" said "he, "It became necessary for us to vest in Walter H. Page, the American ambas sador to London, a discretionary power to treat with England upon the basis of a reconsideration of our tolls ex emption bill. Senator Tillman said that in many respects the tolls repeal legislation was startling: and almost ludicrous. In a speech In New Jersey which has been often quoted and thrown in our teeth." said Mr. Tillman, "the President explained the object of this free tolls plank in the Baltimore plat form and indorsed it fully—not only Indorsed it but praised it for the service it would render the farmers of the country. "In that speech the President also said 'our platform is not molasses to catch flies; it means what it says.' Hard Task for Party "It will he hard," added Senator Tillman, sadly, "to make the average voter understand the contradiction and seeming betrayal of the people in not carrying out our pledges. Democratic candidates in the next election will be kept busy explaining and apologizing. "Until this issue was pressed to the front the course of the Democracy had been onward and upward. This is the first jolt or check it has received. This question was not a burning issue at the time he read his message. There were so many things of more impor tance to do. I must say that in my opinion it was a great blunder to have precipitated this fight now."

BOSCIUIUST FACE THE WEES [Continued From First Page] den,' Angelo A. Boschelli, a fugitive, must also answer to a charge of forg ing a S4OO judgment note. That new phase of the Boschelli case developed this morning when District Attorney Stroup returned to the grand jury a bill charging the former proprietor of the Menger Hotel with having "fraudulently passed a written instrument," literally the forg ing and uttering of a judgment note for S4OO, which was cashed by Max P. Johnson. John Acri, according to the infor mation furnished the District Attor ney, was named in the note as the maker, with Frank Marsico as the witness. Johnson, who says he paid the S4OO when it was presented by Boschelli, is the Informant. Just Within the Statute Just a wee bit of legal irony de veloped in the information. It was returned by Alderman Hoverter and stated that for three months Boschelli has been a fugitive. The crime was committed, the Informant alleges, on June 12, 1909, and the Information is dated June 9, 1914, just three days less than five years later. And the statute of limitations for forgery is— five years. Instructions to the police authori ties to apprehend Boschelli, whose bond has been forfeited and who is said to be ill in a Chicago hospital, was speeded to the Windr City last night. And with the return of in formation as to Boschelli's detention. Sheriff H. C. Wells or a deputy will leave at once to bring the prisoner back to this county for his trial.

Whether Boschelli will stand trial or follow the actlon'of Jacob Eckert and plead guilty is a matter of conjecture In court circles, but, it is stated, that he will enter a plea of guilty ond throw himself on the court's mercy.
