Commissioner Smith Speaks in High Terms of the State's Organizations The 1533 building and loan asso ciations of Pennsylvania reporting to the State Department of Banking dur ing 1915 aided in the purchase of 22,- 133 homes according to the summary of the twenty-first annual report on the building and loan organizations issued to-day by Commissioner Wil liam H. Smith. The commissioner says in his report that the building and loan associations have been of great benefit to the people of the Key stone State, noting the large enroll ment of young people and the fact that they are being taught to save and remarks in closing "The depart ment is very proud of the building as sociation system under its supervision and its tremendous growth." In the summary of statistics the re port makes some interesting compari sons with the first year of State su pervision. The first annual report, is sued in 1595. showed 1131 associa tions with assets of $99,519,917.50 against a total of 1569 associations now on the lists with assets aggregat ing the huge total of 1276,393.319.99. The total number of shares in force has risetj from 1,796.311 in 1595 to 4.592,891, while the total number of shareholders has risen from 253,860 to 568,126, of which 183,918 are re turned as women. Assets have trebled in twenty years, notes the report, and where the capital used to be re stricted to one million dollars there have been associations chartered with from five to fifteen million dollars capital. During 1915 there were eighty as sociations chartered and eleven went out The assets increased $21,205,373.61 over 1914. when $255,- 187,937.38 were reported. Of the as sets reported $235,995,802.67 were mortgage loans on stock shares. $lB,- 046,849.73 stock loans and $5,656,- 029.37 straight mortgages. The cash items aggregated over $5,000,000 and $1,834,487.25 was reported as delin quent. The receipts for last year amounted in the aggregate to $1*43,- 316,090.15, against $136,214,852.97 In 1914, dues alone being over $50,000,- 000, while $32,000,000 loans were re paid. The salaries paid by the asso ciations amounted to $812,616.81. The withdrawals were $43,000,000 in round numbers, over $20,000,000 being ma tured stock and interest. The summary shows 4.592,891 shares in force at the end of the year of which 1.542,696 were borrowed on, leaving over 3,000,000 free of Incum brances. The report states that the funds of associations are now being used not only to purchase homes, but for "business enterprises 6uch as the aters, factories, churches, breweries, creameries, etc." The commissioner says that associa tions which cling to the old principles of economy and thrift are successful and adds that it is highly important that all members should pay their dues with the "precision and exactness that a subscriber to the capital stock of a corporation is expected to pay up his capital when called upon." If this is not done the department may be forced to require payments. "It is to the building associations whose directors devote their energies among the small investors rather than those who are looking for large Inves tors who can afford to pay commis sions for the private benefit of the out side agent or promoter that the credit of the system Is due." says Mr. Smith, who adds that "twenty years ago such a thing as a commission to an individ ual for his personal benefit in produc ing a loan in a building association would have been regarded as treason tothe cause among.the old-line mana gers." An interesting feature is a state ment by Mr. Smith that there are at least 60.000 persons in Pennsylvania who are constant borrowers of small sums of money and who have been turned up in the department's supervi sion of what have been called ' loan sharks." who are now regulated by law. "The old-fashioned director of a building association who devotes much of his time to the interests of his friends and neighbors still has a great work of philanthropy to exterminate the "loan shark' and to teach its pat rons to save Instead of to borrow," closes Mr." Smith. Disappearance of Sharon Youth Is Baffling Pittsburgh, Aug. s.—Much mystery surrounds the disappearance of Severn Ker, son of the head of the big steel hoop plant at Sliaroa.

BIG DEMAND FOR MAXWELL CARS Local Dealer Says It's More Trouble to Get Cars Than to Sell Them "We are doing the best we can—de mand is greater than we could antici pate." This is the message that E. W. Shenk, local dealer for the Maxwell Motor Company, Inc., received from Mr. Flan ders. the president of the company, last week, in answer to a demand that ship ment of cars be rushed. "We thought we knew the public, thought that we could tell just exactlv what the demand would be—and we planned to meet that figure. But the result has been far greater than we even dared hope for. We have a new idea of the popularity of the Maxwell car. The Maxwell was a remarkable value at the old price. Now, with the price reduced to $595, it is not surpris ing that we cannot keep up with the demand. Dealers everywhere are clamoring for shipments." and we are rushing our plants as fast as we pos sibly can. Four hundred cars per day are being built, and shipments are being sent out in greater quantities than we imagined would be possible for our organization. | "The public will have to bear with ius on deliveries. Take care of them as best you can. and say that we are doing everything in our power to get the cars to them, without sacrificing the quality. This great demand for cars now is the result of the unusual value we have ofTered in the past, and we are not going to compromise it in f°y way. even though we should have ,V> up de 'iveries for several weeks. But you can promise that we shall endeavor to get caught up in a month or so and they will be supplied." This letter from Mr. Flanders backs up the repuorts from all parts of the country that the Maxwell is to-dav en joying a popularity that has nevet even been approached in the com pany s experience. Mr. Shank says that he has sufficient cars on hand or in transit to fill orders for a short time, but that if the present demand continues he will be fortunate to get enough cars from the factory.

STIRS HOUSE BY WILSON ATTACK "Artificial Prosperity" and "Mexican Fiasco" Arraign ed by Rosenberg Washington, Aug. s.—Political ora tory stirred the House yesterday when Representative William A. Rodenberg, of Illinois, Republican, answered Dem ocratic criticism of the Hughes accept ance speech and arraigned the admin istration of President Wilson. Mr. Ro denberg, who has a reputation as one of the few House orators, will be a stump speaker this Autumn, and his speech to-day is for use as a campaign document. Inveighing against the Administra tion's policy, Rodenberg, by implica tion, connected Cleveland R. Dodge, of New York, with recent shipments of ammunition into Mexico. Dodge, a personal friend of the President, was declared to have visited the State De partment shortly before Secretary Lansing permitted an ammunitions shipment to Carranza in April, but Ro denberg said he made no direct charge of connection between the two Inci dents. He declared, however, that Dodge was a maker of munitions of war and was a large contributor to the Democratic campaign fund. Artificial Prosperity Will Crumble After saying that 500,000 men in ! New York and 200,000 in Chicago were I patronizing the bread lines and soup ! houses under the operation of the Un derwood law and Democratic admlnls | tration at about the time of the out- I break of the European war, Represen | tative Rodenberg said: "But, as that titanic conflict in Eu rope has dragged its weight along. ! there has been an ever-increasing de- I raand for American products to supply i the needs and necessities of the war ! ring nations. As a result of that de mand, American business has been given a temporary stimulus. But every | sensible man knows that trade in war munitions cannot form a lasting basis for American prosperity. We are ex porting to-day to the warring nations of Europe approximately $300,000,000 of products a month. This tremendous train of war supplies has given us a fictitious and artificial prosperity that will crumble and fade away the day peace is declared." Drama of Destruction in Mexico Turning to the question of Mexico, Mr. Rodenberg said, in part: "All is chaos and confusion in Mexi co to-day. Organized society is broken down, anarchy is triumphant. What part has our government played in the dreadful drama of destruction? Who is primarily responsible for the carni val of crime that exists in Mexico to day? X make the statement and 1 measure my words in doing so, that the impartial historian of the future will lay the responsibility at the foot of the present Administration and their wobbling policy of watchful wait ing." Dental Corps For State Guardsmen General orders will be issued within a few days establishing dental and veterinary corps for the division of the Pennsylvania troops now in the Federal service.

IS LATE REPORT President Wilson Told That Strike Depends on Confer ence Results Special to the Telegraph Washington, Aug. s.—After a con ference between President Wilson and Judge William L. Chambers, Commis sioner «of the United States Board of Mediation and Conciliation, it was in dicated yesterday that the Federal Government would take no formal action in the effort of 400,000 employes on 225 railroad systems of the country to obtain concessions from the railroad managers until representatives of the managers and workmen had conferred next week in a final effort to reach an agreement.
