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."
Big Engine.* Here —Three big loco
motives, built nt Altoona shops, passed
through Harrisburg yesterday en route
to Atlantic City. They will be on exhi
bition during the convention of the
Master Car Builders' Association, now
1" session. These engines are of the
E-65, L-16 and R-45 types and were a
big attraction at the local roundhouse
and Pennsylvania Railroad Station.
Speelnl Trnln From Went. With
300 delegates aboard, a special train
from Chicago passed through Harris
burg this morning en route to Atlantic
City. On this special were master car
builders en route to Atlantic City to

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

something will be done to avenge the
wrong upon a Rritlsh citizen, and that
if we only watchfully wait until the
timo comes all will bo made plainer
to those now in the dark."
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.
Boschelli was indicted in January
for selling liquor to boys and girls and
otherwise conducting a disorderly
house at the "Rosegarden," a beer gar
den adjoining the Hotel Menger, of
which he was proprietor.
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.

is the first of the kind to be tried in
the Dauphin county court. •

DOMESTIC SCIENCE
IN GRAMMAR GRADE
Steelton School Director* Adopt
System llrged
McGinnes
The introduction of a course "o?j
sewing and domestic science was au
thorized at a meeting of the Steelton
School Board last evening and the re
port of the teachers' committee, nam
ing the staff of teachers for next term,
was adopted.
Superintendent L. E. McGinnes was
given the authority to carry out the
plan for introducing sewing, domestic
science and several forms of manual
training for boys, as outlined in his
annual report. This plan readjusts
the course of study in the upper
grammar grades and high school, so
that term the girls of the four
grammar grades will be given two
lessons a Week In sewing and the
boys as many lessons in mechanical
drawing. Miss Alic® M. Jumper was
selected by the board to teach the
domestic science branches. Later it
is planned to Introduce cooking for
girls and manual training for the boys
into the curriculum in the grammar
grades.
Superintendent McGinnes Is of the
opinion that these practical studies if
taught in the grammar grades will
help the students who drop out of
school before entering the high school.
It is this class of students, it is point
ed out, who are In the greatest need of
practical knowledge.
The report of the teachers' com
mittee naming next year's staff of
teachers was adopted unanimously.
