STATE LIBRARY
IS OVERCROWDED
State Librarian Montgomery
Points Out the Necessity
For Enlargement
t'rgent recommendations for the
construction of a building which will
care for tlie State's rapidly growing
collections of books and historical and
educational collections is made by
State Librarian Thomas Lynch Mont
gomery in his annual report to the
Governor on the State Library and
Museum. The library now contains
163,976 volumes, 8,000 having been
added in the lust year, of which 885
related to the history of Pennsylvania,
its people or its life.' Over 18.000
volumes have been loaned through
traveling libraries and 2,300 volumes
of pamphlets completed. \
On the subject of more room Mr.
Montgomery says:
"The problem of providing for the
various collections of the State will
soon become a serious one. We have
practically reached our limit as to
the storage of newspapers in the at
tic and the alcoves of the main library
would be insutflcient but for the fact
that so many volumes are circulated
through the State. New York has
provided at a cost of $5,000,000 what
is known as the educational building
in which provision is made for all
the educational interests of the State.
Would it not be well to look forward
to the time when such a building
may be erected to the east of the
Capitol in such a position as would
add to the architectural effect of the
east side of the Capitol building. Here
quarters should be provided for 500.-
000 volumes and the rapidly increas
ing collections of the Museum and of
the Division of Public Records. The
cases and shelving which have been
procured in recent years for the State
Library are of the most modern and
Satisfactory pattern and all of these
may be utilized in any new quarters
that are provided."
Growth of Museums
Dr. Montgomery gives considerable
attention to the State Museums which
have tinished eleven new groups of
Pennsylvania animals and birds in
representations of habits and enlarg
ed the forestry and botany groups,
while valuable collections from
Berks county have been received in
the historical division and other arti
cles of early days installed for public
view. Big increases were made to
the natural history division which is
under Boyd jP. Rothrock. During the
year 149 places were visited by the
free library commission staff, eight
new libraries organized in Ambridge,
Cherry Tree, Cynwyd, Leetsdale, New
port, Routlette, Shinglehouse and Tay
lor while Pine Grove teachers were
aided to establish a library.
The gift of $7,000 to the Harris
burg Public Library in memory of
the.late Lyman D. Gilbert is noted
among the donations to lfl>rarlM|
throughout the State, as is the Mart
in donation of $185,000 for York and
those made by Mrs. Bell at Mt. Holly
Springs; by Mrs. Coyle at Chambers
burg and by Mrs. Bosler at Carlisle.
Tribute to Mr. Kolker
Dr. Montgomery says relative to the
late Luther R. Kelker: "The only
casualty during the year was the
death of Luther Reily Kelker, custo
jdian of public records. Mr. Kelker
| was chosen for the custodianship, up
on the organization of the division in
1903, on account of his interest in
Pannsylvania history and his familiar
ity with the muster rolls and marriage
records. He assisted in preparing the
material for some twenty-eight vol
umes of archives including the fifth
and sixth series and the indexes there
to.» His work has made it possible
for anyone to secure records concern
ing individuals engaged in the French
and Indian wars, the War of the
Revolution, the War of 1812-14 and
the Mexican War in a few minutes'
time, when formerly this was a la
borious and most uncertain task. He
also arranged in books the papers of
| the governors and repaired aneh
! mounted a tremendous collection of
I provincial papers. He was neat and
i accurate in the preparation of his
! material and the work done in the
division will compare favorably with
that of any similar departments in the
I United States."
The division of public records dur
ing the year completed the Cumber
laud county papers in sixteen volumes,
the Berks county papers in seventeen
volumes and the York county papers
in twenty-seven volumes. Fees for
certificates amounted to $300.22,
which has been turned over to the
State Treasurer. Just 1,186 letters,
many of them requiring extended re
search, were received and answered.
YOUNG GETS THE
FIRST POLICY
State Treasurer Receives In
surance For Company in
' Which He Is Interested
The first compensation insurance
policy of the State workmen's insur
ance fund, the insurance activity of
! the Commonwealth created by the last
j Legislature to provide protection re
! quired by the workmen's compensation
; act, has been issued to State Treasurer
Robert K. Young,- chairman of the
State Workmen's Insurance Board.
This policy is No. 1 and covers the
1 compensation liability of the Wells
j boro Electric Company, Wellsboro, Pa.,
of which Mr. Young is president. It
was chosen as the initial policy from
the several thousand applications for
compensation Insurance on file. The
premium payment on the policy aggre
gated $124.50.
Formal presentation of the policy to
Chairman Young was made by Albert
L. Allen, assistant manager of the
fund, in the office of Mr. Young at the
Capitol to-day. The policy was issued
in duplicate, each copy being signed
by the other members of the insurance
board. Commissioner John Price Jack
son, of the Department of Labor and
Industry, Commissioner Charles John
son, of the Insurance Department, as
well as by Chairman Young and As
sistant Manager Allen.
Both copies were framed. One will
hang in Mr. Young office in the Capitol
and the other will be sent to the office
of the Wellsboro Electric Company.
British Reported to Have *
Captured German Involved
in Bethlehem Plant Fire
Special to The Telegraph
New York, Dec. 14.—One of the men
believed to have taken part in a con
spiracy to destroy the Bethlehem Steel
plant by tire is reported to have been
taken off the Lamport i* Holt steamer
Vaubaji within the last week in the
Atlantic Ocean, south of Rio de Jan
eiro, and made a prisoner on a British
cruiser.
The Vauban sailed from this port on
November la, three days after the sl,-
000,000 blaze in the machine ship of
the Bethlehem Steel Corporation.
Since the ship left here detectives and
agents of the Department of Justice
traced a man from Bethlehem to Phil
adelphia, whero he booked a passage
on the Vauban at the office of Thomas
Cook & Son. The trail led to this
city and then to the liner.
A report of the evidence was laid
before the State Department and com
munication was made with the British
Embassy, with the result that a Brit
ish cruiser was ordered to hurry after
the Vauban and search the ship. A
few days ago a report was received
from South America saying that a
cruiser had stopped the Vauban and
taken off a man who was believed to
be a German officer.
Bourne Declares Bryan
Sees Defeat Next Year
Special to The Telegraph
Washington, Dec. 14.—William J.
Bryan admits the defeat of the Demo
cratic party in 1916, according to a
statement of ex-Senator Jonathan
Bourne. Jr.. chairman of the Republi
can Publicity Association, who says:
"Jn the latest issue of his Commoner
Mr. Bryan shows that he is In no
doubt whatever as to the meaning of
the elections held last month. One or
two leaders of the Progressive party
may think there is a possibility of
holding the former members of that
party together, hut Mr. Bryan labors
under no such delusion. He says:
"•The elections of 1915 ought to
serve as a warning to the Democratic
party. They Indicate that tlie Progres
sives have returned to the regular Re
publican party, and that the Demo
crats can no longer hope to win by
division in the ranks of the opposition.
Neither can the Democrats afford to
dally with vital issues.'
"Mr. Bryan has hud too much per
sonal experience and too many years
of observation to be misled in his in
terpretation of the causes and condi
tions which led to Republican victories
in 1915. He knows the necessary ef
fect of the unification of the Republi
can party."

Thin Folks Who
Would Be Fat
Incrrniir In Wright Ten Pounds or More
"I'd certainly give most anything to
be able to fat up a few pounds and
stay that way,"- declares every exces
alvelv thin man or woman. Such a re
sult is not Impossible, despite past fail
ures. Most thin people are victims of
mal-nutrition, a condition which pre
vents the fatty elements of food from
being taken up by the blood as they
are when the powers of nutrition are
normal. Instead of getting Into the
blood, much of the fat and flesh-pro
ducing elements stay In the Intestines
until they pass from the body as waste.
To correct this condition and to pro
duce a healthy, normal, amount of fat,
the nutritive processes must be artl
lically supplied with the power which
nature had denied them. This can prob
ably best be accomplished by eating a
Hai-gol tablet with every meal. Sargol
is a careful combination of six splendid
assimilative agents. Taken with meals
they mix with the food to turn the
sugars and starches of what you have
eaten into rich, ripe nourishment for
the tissues and blood and Its rapid ef
fect has been In many cases reported
remarkable. Reported gains of from
ten to twenty-five pounds In a single
month are by no means Infrequent. Yet
its action Is perfectly natural and ab
solutely harmless. Sargol is sold by
G. A. Gorgas and other druggists
everywhere and every package contains
a guarantee of weight Increase or
money back.
NOTE:—Sargol Is recommended only
as a flesh builder and while excellent
results in cases of nervous Indigestion,
etc., have been reported, care should
lie taken about using It unless a gain
ul weight Is desired.— Advertisement, J
