gram received here yesterday from
Washington announcing the appoint
ment of John W. Warehime as post
master of Waynesboro, to succeed H.
C. Gordon, the present incumbent,

clear sky to many, so great was the
surprise. While it was known that
Mr. Wareliime was a candidate, either
of the other two applicants. Harvey
S. Morganthall and Dewltt C.

entitled to the honor, judging from
their long standing in the Democratic
party and the backing and support
they had from the leaders of the
party not only in Waynesboro but
throughout Franklin county.
Mr. Morganthall has been a con
sistent worker for the Democratic
party in season and out of season,

STOCKHOLDERS HOLD
A STORMY SESSION
[Continued from First Page.]
and that Hoverter must have known
something of the fraud that Binner
was practicing upon his directors and
the bank in making payment. There
arc rumors that some notes also figure
in Hoverter's transactions with the
Schaefferstown bank, but no mention
of them has as yet been made offi
cially if there are any such notes.
Hoverter was unable to furnish
SIO,OOO bail which was asked by
United States Commissioner H. J.
Schools, before whom the defendant
was arraigned, and he was therefore
committed to jail for the night. He
expected to secure bail to-day. Kx
aniiner Logan stated that he made the
complaint and caused the arrest after
a consultation with the United States
district attorney at Scranton.
Hoverter's Wife Faints
Hoverter's wife and daughter ap
peared at the commissioner's office
shortly after the proceedings had con
cluded and when the former left the
place she fainted on tho pavement.
She was taken home in an automobile.
Hoverter is one of the men named
in the letter left by Binner to his wife,
in which he said that "I am wrong
in my bank accounts. T do not have
a cent of the bank's money, but am
caught by"—and naming three men.
Although Hoverter's name was con
nected with the affair ever since
Cashier Binner blew out his brains
early last Saturday morning, it was
rumored quite generally that the ne
gotiations at the bank were regular
as to legal form and that the shortage
was chargeable to Binner for having
accepted the paper offered by Hover
ter and in permitting overdrafts. Tht>
arrest of the insurance man on Tues
day was not made public until even
ing. and the news created one of (the
most profound sensations in the his
tory of this community.
Fail to Get Bail
Hoverter, who visited the bank and
conferred with the directors several
times since Saturday, was summoned
to the institution again on Tuesday
afternoon. The other two men named
by Binner in his letter to his wife were
also present. It is stated that Ho
verter was questioned at length as to
his transactions with Binner by Bank
Examiner Logan and at the end of the
conference called in George
Leininger. the township constable, and
had him place the insurance man un
der arrest. Jacob F. Reinoehl, coun
sel for Hoverter. hurried to Lebanon
and endeavored to secure bail, but the
hour was late and the effort fruitless.
It was after S o'clock in the evening
i before the party started away from
I Schaefferstown in two automobiles.
Besides the constable and his prisoner
the party included Examiner Logan,
Uricli B. Horst. president of the bank;
Samuel Botnberger, Jacob Stewart and
other directors of the bank. News of
the arrest had reached Lebanon in ad
vance of their coming and when the
party reached Commissioner Schools'
office there was a, number of news
paper men present, together with
Frank P. Hanimar. local representa
tive of the National Surety Company
of New York, which carries a bond of
$15,000 on Binner, and J. A. Beillv,
an adjuster of the same bonding com
pany.
Bury Suicide Cashier
That the people of the town still
maintain their confidence in the in
tegrity of young Binner despite the
startling disclosures at the bank was
evidenced this afternoon, when scores
of people of the town went to the Bin
ner home to pay their respects to the
memory of the young man whose
career only a few weeks ago appeared
to hold such brilliant prospects. The
body was exposed to view from 9.30
to 12.30 o'clock and few of those who
visited the home left dry-eyed. The
direc tors of the bank did not attend
the funeral in a body, but most of
them went to the house to view the
remains.
At 1 o'clock the doors were barred
to all but relatives and a few intimate
friends of the family. The Rev. E. E.
Schantz, pastor of the Lutheran
Church, conducted the brief rites.
Burial was made in the Schaeffers
town Cemetery, which is located only
a short distance from the Binner
home. Adam Trostlc, Samuel Weik,
James AVeik. Rex Welgley, George
Miller and John Beamfcsdert'er, young
men of the town and former associates
of the deceasfd. officated ns bearers.
Dumping Ground For Bad Pain-r
It was declared to-night by one
close to the bank that from all appear
ances Binner's ignorance of hanking
affairs and bis overzealousness in seek
ing to make a good showing in the
matter of business done had made him
an easy victim of more experienced
and unscrupulous men. who converted
the Schaefferstown bank into a
dumping ground for bad paper.
Binner's friends, and they continue
io be many, still point to the fact that
it remains to be shown that he pro
fited not one penny by his transactions
with customers of the bank.
Hoverter l»rot>|>crouK Realty Man
Hoverter has been engaged in the
life insurance business here for years,
and was considered unusually success
ful. He owned and occupied, with his
wife and daughter, a magnificently
furnished home in North Eighth
street here, and has a summer cottage
at Mount Gretna. He owns a big red
automobile. He is about 40 years old.
Every depositor was notified to pre
sent his passbook at the bank this
morning to have his accounts cheeked
up. Already It has been revealed that
depositors have not been credited on
the books with amounts they have de
posited in the bank.
One businessman of Schaefferstown
is said to have deposited SI,OOO In a
lump sum. and while he was duly
credited with this amount in his own
passbook, he did not receive credit on
tlie books of the bank, according to
report.

ASK MAYOR TO
OFFER RELIEF PLAN
[Continued from First Page.]
: Bowman, superintendent of public
! safety.
Mr. Lynch this afternoon offered his
i resolution after the Mayor's measure
| of yesterday hud been adopted,
i Following is the Lynch measure:
The Resolution
Whereas the resolution just
adopted directs the superintend
ents of parks, strees and public
improvements and public safety to
proceed at once with "contem
plated improvements," etc., so as
to relieve the present distress of
| a large number of worthy and
i able-bodied citizens now out of
j employment, therefore.
Resolved, That the superintend
ents of parks, streets and public
perintendent or accounts and
tinance. the authors of said reso
lution, be and they are hereby re
spectfully requested to submit to
Council at their earliest con
venience a list of "the contem
plated improvements, such as
park improvement, laying of sew
ers, grading of streets and the
laying of water pipes." that they
may be legally proceeded with at
once, as said resolution directs;
and
Ask for Data
Resolved, That if the authors of
said resolution meant by "con
templated Improvements" public
work that has not already been
authorized by ordinance, as the
words would naturally Imply, they
submit to Council as early as prac
ticable what "contemplated im
provements" may be so made,
whether the work shall be done
by the superintendents of parks
and public property, streets and
public improvements and public
safety, respectively, on force ac
count. or by contract as the law
directs, and from what appro
priations heretofore made the cost
of said "contemplated Improve
ments" shall be paid; and
Or Political Buncombe?
Resolved. That a failure on the
part of the authors of said reso
lution lo submit a feasible plan
whereby the said "contemplated
improvements" may be legally
made at once, as directed, shall
be construed as indicating that
they knew that such improve
ments could not be legally pro
ceeded with at once and that said
resolution was offered by the su
perintendent of public affairs as
one of his numerous efforts for
political buncombe only.
After due notice of his intentions
through the newspapers Mayor Royal
yesterday offered a resolution calling
upon the superintendents of streets,
parks and public safety to begin at
once what paving, sewer pipe, water
pipe and park improvement work they
contemplate for this year in order
that the city's hundreds of unem
ployed may be given an opportunity to
work. Commissioner W. I* Gorgas,
superintendent of finance, seconded
that measure.
The resolution was laid over until
to-day.
Kaffer to Help
While frankly admitting that labor
cohditions in Harrisburg have been
worse this winter than in many years
and that the city should do what it
call to provide work for the hundreds
of idle men. Commissioners Bowman.
Lynch and Taylor—heads of the de
partments in whose hands the city im
provement work largely is—yesterday
emphasized the Impracticability and
costliness of carrying on outside op
erations in the winter time.
Mayor Royal's "work" resolution,
aimed solely at Commissioners Bow
man, Lynch and Taylor, failed to
work following its presentation ir,
yesterday's session of Council because
the Mayor offered no practicable so
lution to the problem.
The superintendents of parks, streets
and public safety explained how they
had carried on such operations as lay
ing sewer and water pipe, grading,
paving, park improvement and so on
farther Into the real cold weather than
ever before and that they had taken
on more men than was judicious with
the funds at their disposal.
Cold Compels Shutdown
"We kept the water main jobs in
Market and Front streets going as late
as we dared." said Mr. Bowman. "We
just had to shut down then because of
the results of excavation in ground
that was so thoroughly frosted. The
chances are that we would otherwise
have to do the work all over again in
the Spring. Other jobs, those new
sewers on the Hill, for instance, we
kept going as long as possible. We
arc responsible for the judicious ex
| penditure of the people's money and
1 think we should bear this in mind.
No corporation would do otherwise.
"Practical men who know their
business.'' declared Mr. Lynch, "don't
care to take a chance on work which
they know can't be done right with
out financial loss to themselves.
"In our department we've taken on
all the men we could and have kept
the work going as late as we could.
Why, in constructing some of tho
| bridges we had to boil the water and
; heat the sand and the stones. It was
so cold at times that our men were
forced to quit or take a chance at
freezing."
Mayor Sidesteps
The Mayor sidestepped as much as
possible all requests for suggestions
; as to a solution to the question.
"Well. I don't know just what work
I you've in mind," he said. "What I
i meant was the future work. Why
1 can't you let these contracts now'.'"
"The contractors can't work in such
weather. Any practical contractor or
any other man that knows anything
about it will tell you that. That is.
unless he is paid more for the extra
work that the job under these con
ditions would require. Now we'll
do this—if Council orders us to do so.
But personally I don't think we've
any right, to use the city's money this
way," answered the superintendent of
streets.
"Why this resolution." began the
Mayor as he indicated tho measure iic
had introduced a few minutes before.
"Doesn't cover anything," finished
Mr. Lynch.
"Well, it can be amended."
"Well, then, amend it. Yon made

' It does not come on immediately
after eating but after the food has
had time to ferment, which it does lo

When lack of nourishing blood causes
fermentation and poisons are ab

"We've put more men at work on
the river front than wo really should
have in view of the money we had for
the purpose," said Mr. Taylor. "But
I wanted to give all the rrien work.
They came to my door and asked for
it. almost begged for jobs.
"But what work can we do at this
time of the year? The onty improve
ment that we contemplate is the con
struction of the dirt roadway around
the eastern line of the parkway be
tween Paxtang and the Reservoir.
But as you know, most of this land is
on slopes or in swamp places—it was
donated to the city because it was of
little value, as a rule, for agricultural

would be simply folly to do any grad
ing in this sort of ground. We'd havg
to do it all over again in the Spring." 1
