10 PRESENT EACTS
J. W. Lee, P. R. R. Publicity Rep
resentative, Gives Out State
ment; Seeks Information
In a letter to-day to Superintendent
William B. McCaleb, of the Philadel
phia division of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, relating to the mileage book
incident in the Legislature and the full
< rcw law, J. W. Lee, of the Pennsylva
nia Railroad publicity department, at
Philadelphia, says:
"News dispatches from Harrisburg
published by morning newspapers state
that Alfred I!. Garner, a representa
tive in the State Legislature from
Schuylkill county, yesterday sent a
mileage ticket to the Speaker's .desk
with the observation that it was 'the
lirst fruit of the full crew law.'
"Exactly what the legislator meant
is a little vague, and we would be glad
to have him explain. We dislike to
think that any legislator would be sub
ject. to venal influence. Did Mr. Garner
mean that the wasteful full crew law
had partly to do with making neces
sity for raising the price of a mileage
ticket from S2O to $22.50, or did he
mean to infer that the ticket had been
given to him to influence his vote?
"If the latter, then we make the un
equivocal statement that Mr. Garner
received the mileage ticket from no
railroad or on behalf of any railroad
except upon payment by him or for
him of Its full cash vaue. We chal
lenge Mr. Garner to state exactly how
he came by the ticket."

EDITORS ASKED TO
BACK REFORM BILLS
[Continued from First Page.]
tion he has recommended, and ap
pealed to the editors to back him in
his efforts, "to make Pennsylvania a
sweet, clean and wholesome place for
every man, woman and child."
"You ought to stand as newspapers
to eliminate the influence of liquor in
terests from all politics and from the
judiciary as well. The question of
liquor should be settled by the people
of each county."
Asks Editors to Be Square
"On a moral issue." he -continued,
"there can be no fundamental differ
ence of opinion among enlightened
men such as newspapermen must nec
essarily be. A paper should not es
tablish a policy that is not sound and
that does not stand four-square on
every great question. It is the in
alienable birthright to have individual
opinions and to be partisan, but the
partisan who cannot tell the whole
truth is not a good partisan. Don't
put half truths in your columns, edi
torials and head-lines when you" should
print all the facts. Take it from thead
ministratlon, we are going to play the
game with all the cards on the table,
and I hope all the .great newspapers
that you represent will do the same."
The Governor spoke of his desire
and hope to inaugurate legislation in
the future along lines of social bet
terment, especially regarding the re
creations and amusements of the peo
ple. He said, "I make this prediction,
that within ten years your State legis
lature will be wrestling with the ques
tion of regulating the recreation of
the people. We have done much to
better conditions of health and the
hours of work, but we have seriously
neglected the hours when men and
women must amuse themselves. We
allow people to head straight for the
devil in improper amusements, and I
think this is a line of legislative regu
lation that will lie attended to."
The Rt. Rev. f. H. Darlington,
Bishop of the Episcopal diocese of
Harrlsburg followed the Governor
with a short address in which he com
plimented newspapermen for their
loyal co-operation. He criticised
Pennsylvania people for not standing
dining' hall of the Bolton House. Fred
ing rather apologetic when comparing
notes with people of other State#*.

$12,055,628 insurance on properties
valued at $54,000,000. The insurance
of the Capitol is on $1,000,000. Such
a fund would be advisable in as much
as it could be used immediately for the

ILL WROUGHT UP
Alleged Poor Business Methods in
Water Department Sole Topic
of Conversation
AA'hat the next development will be
in the expose by the borough auditors
ol' alleged poor business methods in
Steelton council's conduct of the bor
ough -water department is the prin
cipal topic for discussion in Steelton
municipal circles to-day.
Municipal circles were thrown into
excitement Monday night when the
auditors sent council a letter in which
attention was called to "delinquent"
water bills amounting to $1,892.61.
The auditors declared they believed a
majority of these accounts are col
lectible and that the money should be
in the borough treasury. They also
recommended some reforms so that a
check could be kept on the money de
rived from the sale by the water de
partment superintendent of meter
parts, supplies, etc.
The action of the auditors, it is said,
has caused a. fear in some quarters
that an investigation of some depart
ment of the borough may be ordered.
Such an investigation, men who know
how things have been conducted in
Steelton for some time believe, would
disclose some interesting facts.
Auditors Have M'ttcr
Interest to-day naturally centers on
what action the water board will take
on the auditors' letter, since council
turned it over to them. The board
consists of George H. Roberts, Wil
liam A. Keister and Walter E. Chick.
Charles P. Feldt, borough secretary, is
also secretary of the water board. Mr.
Feldt was not in his office this morn
ing when a reporter cnlled. His as
sistant said he didn't know where he
Was.
•Mr. Roberts is in Mount Gretna aVid
will not be back for some time. Mr.
Chick, when asked what action the
board woud take, said the "delinquent"
bills could be properly explained, lie
said there would be no meeting of the
water board until next month unless a
special meeting is called.
"There has been an entirely differ
ent construction placed upon the
auditors' letter than was intended."
declared Mr. Chick. "I can assure
you there is nothing irregular In the
water department." Mr. Chick, how
ever. declined to discuss the matter
further until after the water board was
officially notified by council of the
auditors' letter.
Prof. McGinnes Will
Speak Before Teachers
Superintendent L. E. McGinnes, of
the Steelton schools, will read his re
port on the recent convention of su
perintendents at Cincinnati at an ad
journed meeting of Steelton school
teachers in the high school to-mor
row afternoon. He will also give a
summary of O'Shea's "Dynamic Pac
tors in Education."
The teachers' meeting last evening,
the last of the winter series, was well
attended. Special music by pupils of
the schools was a feature. John Lang
played a violin solo entitled "Crimson
Blushes"; Adam Bulbecker sang
"Stille Nacht," a German song. The
Russian national hymn was sung by
three girls from the Hygienic school.

j Daughter of Pennsylvania Officer
Mrs. Hosie. who is a daughter of
Jeremiah Yost, Pennsylvania railroal
officer, was married to Hosie by a local
alderman, six years ago. They have
a daughter, five years of age. Hosie
came to Harrisburg from Carlisle. Ho
was employed as a clerk with the
Pennsylvania railroad but has not
worked for sometime. It is said his
parents, now residing at Wilkes-Barre,
are well to do, and that the young
man has been able to live practically
a retired life.
KNEW OF NO QUARREL
Parents of the girl say that they
knew of no quarrel. Yestorday after
noon Mrs. Hosie left her home. Ac
cording to her parents, she was in a
hurry to get away and did not say
where she was going. An hour later
she returned and was greatly excited,
but refused to give any explanation.
When she left the home this morning
Mrs. Hosie was alone.
When Keys drove an auto, accord
ing to police information, he called
frequently at the Hosie home and took
the family out. It was also said that
until recently Keys was friendly with
Sirs, lfosle's husband and her parents.
According to the police. Mrs. Hosie,
within the past three weeks had been
meeting Keys less frequently. While
they have not been able to verify the
report, it was also told the police to
day that Mrs. Hosie had at times
given Keys money since he was out
of work.

"Whip" Keys was sometimes called
"Whipper." He held various positions
during the past five years. At ono
time he was employed in a restaurant
in Strawberry street near Fifth, and
later ran the restaurant on his own
account. He was employed by th<>
City Transfer Company as a chauffeur
until about a year ago, when he quit
his job. He has since worked at inter
vals as a chauffeur for local firms and
private auto owners.
Martin L. Keys, a brother, SI Court
street, runs a private auto for hire and
at times "Whip" helped him. Martin
cannot account fo rthe shooting. H«>
knew that Mrs. Hosie and his brother
were friends, but did not know of a.
quarrel or any trouble. At the Spleer
undertaking rooms the brother gavo
the first real identification of the body.
"All Made Out"
According to Leroy Durbrow. a
brother-in-law of Keys, the shooting
was planned several days ago. Dur
brow. who resides at. 122 Hoyer street,
said there was a little book carried by
Kess, in which he wrote, "this was all
made out."
"I was not expecting this." Dur
brow d, "but I have learned it. was
planm.u sometime ago. I buried my
Utile girl yesterday, and Keys gavo
me permission to bury on his lot in
Enola Cemetery.
"As far as 1 know Keys and his
wife got along all right. They had
one boy, Elmer, five years old, and un
til lately Keys got along all right. This
affair is going to kill Keys' father, who
lives at 220 South River street. t
don't know how I will break the news
to him.
"I never saw the Hosie woman, nor
did I ever hear him talk about her.
I heard that he was going with some
one else, but thought he was only
meeting friends as friends would meet.
Kevs has been working whenever pos
sible. He worked at Perrin's restau
rant, and also was a partner with Bei t
Ryan, now the proprietor of the Stand
ard lunchrooms. He sold out to Ryan.
"Keys owned an. auto of his own -it
one time, but sold it. I am certain
that from the way he talked he had
planned to do something and picked
to-day 10 do it. He had been talking
about things in a queer way for a
long time, but none of us could un
derstand what ne meant. We under
stand now. - '
