J. N. Buffington Begins Injunction
Against E. D. Bingaman Be
cause of Broken Agreement
The question of
JU )/ jJ] whether or not E.
S/ JPL/A —D. Bingaman, one-
J& time partner of J.
X. Buffington, carver
s2=** ot tombstones, vlo
ilated his agreement
when he sold Buf
tinSton his interest
| < IJHBPHBS; in the business, was
JLt MuclilUlifi before Judge Charles
y Henry to decide
to-day when an ap
plication for an injunction to restrain
Bingaman from doing business was
heard.
Buffington and Bingaman began
business together in Lykens in 1898
and ten years later the partnership
was dissolved. Buffington bought out
Bingaman's Interest and among stipu
lations of the sales agreement was one
that Bingaman should not start up
again in that territory while Buffing
ton was still in the business and that
Bingaman should be given work by
Buffington. Bingaman, furthermore,
was to receive at least $2 per day.
In March of this year, however,
Bingaman entered into partnership
with the Lykens Valley Marble and
Granite Company, according to Buf
fington. This was in violation of the
terms of the agreement of 1908.
Bingaman contended that he had to
do something, as he needed work, and
Buffington refused to give him work, i
This. Bingaman declares, was a vio
lation of the agreement on Bufflngton's
part.

them into a line that stretched for
half a mile. Those who saw the casket
noticed It bore a new plate reading:
"Charles Becker. Died July 30, 1915."
A plate removed by the police yester
day bore the allegation that Becker
was '"murdered by Governor Whit
man."
In the crowd that passed in and out
of the Becker house were policemen
of all ranks. With a few exceptions
they were all in civilian clothes. As
the casket was being removed from
the house the crowd pushed, and the
police had difficulty in keeping the
way clear.
The wreath alongside the floral cross
had the words "To the Martyr With
Sincere Sympathy" on it. Another
wreath bore a card of Alexander S.
Williams, former police inspector who
was a close friend of Becker.

Root Speech Believed to
Be Call to Bull Moose
Albany, N. T„ Aug. 2.—E-Senator
Root s advocacy of the Tanner plan to
reorganize the State Government and
the Stimson plan to save ISO.Oon 000
In the retirement of the State debts

both of which are now outlined for
the first time, followed quickly upon
the visit here Wednesday of Theodore
Douglas Robinson, formerly State
chairman of the Progressive party, and
Chauncey J. Hamlin, an Erie county
Progressive leader.
Prominent Republican delegates to
the Constitutional Convention insisted
last night that President Root's flat

prompted by a desire to show the
Progressives that they would be wel
comed back to the Republican party
and that the Constitutional Convention
was ready to indicate that the Re

At the Steelton offices of the Penn

that he had not visited the Steelton

When a reporter asked David E.

"Sounds beautiful, doesn't it?" said he.
Then he added: "Why, I never met
Mr. Thomas, and there certainly is

"Pope Benedict has erected to his

Test of American Dye
Has Been Postponed
Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 2.—Hosiery
manufacturers are confident that there
is some relief in sight for the gradually
diminishing supply of dyestuffs in this
country. Optimistic reports of the
success of experimental tests of the
new composite recently discovered by
A. N. Ames, which was shown to be
fast black and just as good as Ger
man dyestuffs, and which will be
demonstrated in this city this week,
caused the manufacturers to take a
hopeful view of the situation. With
the present supply of dyestuffs
gradually diminishing, they declared
that unless Mr. Ames' discovery pro\es
all that has been claimed for it, they
will be forced to close down their
plants.

will follow.
Warsaw, Like Moscow,
Will Be Given Up to
Secure Final Victory
By Associated Prtss
London. Aug. 2. 11.53 A. M.—No
direct news from Warsaw has been
received here to-day. While there are
increasing indications that Grand
Duke Nicholas is withdrawing his
army from the Polish capital, there is
evidence that the capital still is in pos
session of the Russians, since Petro
grad correspondents of Warsaw pa
pers were directed to send accounts of
the dum&'s opening for the issues of
Monday morning.
That Russia has not entirely aban
doned hope of a diversion in the west
which would relieve the tremendous
pressure exerted upon her by the
Austro-German armies is shown by
the announcement from Petrograd
that the German forces before War
saw have been heavily reinforced
from the west, thereby "creating fa
vorable conditions for active operations
by our allies."
The opening of the Russian duma
was held before a brilliant assem
j blage. The ministers in their speeches
did not attempt to minimize the
' gravity of the situation, but all agreed
I that Russia had not reached the end
jof her resources. The minister of war
summed up his views with the asser-
I tion that Russia perhaps would sur
render Warsaw as Moscow was given
up in 1812, in order to Insure final
victory.
On the western front artillery duels
only marked the military operations.

Industrial Revival
Is Seen by City Bank
New York, Aug. 2.—Belief that the
Industrial awakening of the country
promises to spread soon to nearly all

conditions in the Fall.
"The industrial revival has now
reached the stage where, with the ad
ditional impetus that may be expected
from the marketing of a good crop, it
should include nearly all lines and as
sure a satisfactory state of general
trade this Fall," says the bank. "In
some lines of production, particularly
In branches of the steel industry, the
point has been touched where more
capacity is wanted, and the stimulus
of orders for additional plant equip
ment is felt.

Gorgas Says He'll
Have Report Tomorrow
on City Interest Fund
In a comprehensive report to Ctiy
Council to-morrow Commissioner W.
L. Gorgas, superintendent of finance
and acounts, will submit a detailed
statement of the condition of the city's
outstanding interest fund for 1914.
The report was asked for by Coun
cilmanlc resolution last week as Com
missioners Lynch, Bowman and Taylor
hope to find sufficient money from the
outstanding interest funds and some
other balances whereby the closing of
the gap in the river wall at Market
street can be financed.
The controversy relative to the clos
ing of the wall will be satisfactorily
settled to-morrow It is believed, and
following an agreement on this much
mooted question, means for paying of
the back salaries of the employes of
the Board of Public Works will be
found. Commissioner Taylor this
morning expressed a willingness to
join with Commissioners Bowman and
Lynch to personally pay the em
ployes from their own pockets pend
ing the settlement of the problem.
"Whether we can do tnls legally or
not I don't know,' said Mr. Taylor,
"but It occurs to me that these men
ami the ,iai\itress. too, need their
money badly and I only suggested this
as a possible way to help them out.''
