L xtRISBURG TELEGRAPH STATE'S POTATO CROP IS SHORT Weather Conditions Blamed For Big Falling Off of Pro duction For Year Pennsylvania's po- S\ \ \ ? //) ,ato crop this year s\\\ will be 19,715,460 busliels, according f to the statisticians of the State Depart ment of Agriculture, ffjQQtS Qk who have been get- I tins in reports from l : districts. Last year it w-as 20,602,000 The weather conditions are blamed for the decline in production. In some districts the crop was only about equal to the seed potatoes, while the average yield per acre is estimated at 70 bush els, compared to 75 last year. Lehigh county takes first honor as a potato grower, showing 1,142,470 bush els, with Philadelphia producing the most per acre, an average of 125 bush els per acre being reported in the dis tricts of that county, where intensive farming is the rule. Pike is second with 112 bushels to the acre, North ampton third with 108, Franklin fourth with 100, Lehigh, York and Susquehanna next with 95. Some counties show an average of only 38 I to 40. Next to Lehigh the best potato ' county is given as Lancaster with I 1,100,891 bushels reported; York next with 1,029,095, followed by Berks with 939,400, Chester 805, 275, Bucks 787,050, Schuylkill 623,214, Bradford 608,888, Northampton 568,312, Erie 560,490 and Luzerne 524,970. •Many Leave Capitol.—Capitol Hill was almost deserted by officials and j many of the attaches to-day, as they had gone to Philadelphia to attend the State Society dinner. There will be little business transacted to-morrow. State Revenue Booms.—The State's revenue has gone ahead of the total for the last fiscal year with the official year of 1916 having still a week to go. The revenue last year was $31,990,- 727.85 and thus far the amount paid is $33,000,000. Auditor General Powell expects still more money to come in and would like to see the $36,000,000 mark reached. The prospects are that the revenue for the two years will be $66,000,000, which will be better than figured out last summer. The usual rush to make payments is on and im mense sums are being turned in at the Treasury. Paying the Schools. State Treas urer Young to-day paid over a quarter of a million dollars to school districts. Those in this part of the state have been well taken care of and the Treas ury, which now has plenty of money, is making up for the time lost last summer. To Sleet Commuters. —The Public Service Commissioners will meet the Philadelphia commuters in Philadel phia to-morrow. A settlement may be effected. Uijr Increase Filed.—The Union Coal and Cok© Company, of Philadelphia, filed notice of increase of debt to $3,500,000. Bruce Campbell Dead. Bruce H.

N.Trinkle, former Deputy Attorney General, was here yesterday discussing the Phila delphia coal tax rate appeals. Sir. Wright Visits. —Montgomery H. Wright, a member of the branch Capi tol commission, was here yesterday. O'Neil Is Ready. "lf they have any charges they want to bring let them go ahead and bring them. I'll lix a hearing and it will be public, too," said Insurance Commissioner J. Denny O'Neil this morning when ask ed about the attacks being made against him and against Chief Exam iner W. J. Roney at Philadelphia. "I have said j have confidence in Roney and I do not propose to allow any attacks against my people or myself to swerve me from this insurance matter." Mr. O'Neil said that he was investigating a number of companies, most of them in purely routine way, and did not contemplate taking any into court. He is preparing for the hearing here on Monday. Big Day in Cash.—The State Treas ury to-day received almost three-quar ters of a million dollars before it had been open an hour. The Pennsylvania railroad paid $465,000 as tax on loans and the Northern Central $182,000. Yesterday almost SBOO,OOO was receiv ed in taxes. The fiscal year ends in a week. 300-Yard Haul.

A rate of 53 cents per net ton is declared un reasonable. To Sleet To-morrow. The State Armory Board will meet here to-mor row for its first session since June. LAWS BLAMED FOR RAILROAD ILLS [Continued From First Page] tions In which "the railroad business is largely controlled by polltcal in stead of business considerations," he added, "railroad credit is so poor and returns so small that adequate exten sions of lines into developed teritory and enlargement of facilities are im possible. He said increased transpor tation facilities would tend to reduce the high cost of living by opening up hew country thereby causing increased production. Contrasts Banks Mr. Thom pointed out that the present system of railroad regulation had its beginning In the abuses of the past and was based on the prin ciples. He contrasted this with the plan of governmental regulation of banks. "The system of bank regula tion," he said, "was born of the spirit of helpfulness and encouragement In tended to build up and make adequate for the American people Its system of national banks. Railroad regulation, on the other hand, is the result of a spirit of anger that grew out of real or fancied abuses in the past. Cost Second Consideration "The railroads accept the view that regulation is a permanent and endur ing part of government in America and that the first duty of the carriers Is to the public. That duty is to af ford reasonable facilities on reason able terms and at reasonable rates ar.d this must be done any private Interests can be considered." In support of this contention that "the first consideration of the public Is to obtain transportation facilities, "and that "the cost is in reality a second consideration," Mr. Thom de clared that when a nation-wide strike recently threatened to tie up the rail roads "businessmen would have been willing to pay almost anything to get their goods to market." He cited the present car shortage, the embargoes last spring caused by inadequate term inal facilities, and added: "The present systems of regulation are entirely adequate to protect the public against exorbitant rates, but are not adequate to insure to the public sufficient facilities for Its pres ent and future requirements."

The conference. It was stated auth oritatively was as to whether the rec ord of the case of Missouri, Oklahoma and Gulf, appealed to the Supreme Court yesterday could be made to cover the problems of all .railroads and whether one or two additional test cases should be brought. Judge Pollock agreed to the post ponement. SEEK AGREEMENT Washington, Nov. 23. Railroad lawyers and Attorney General Gre gory contiuned to-day their confer ences In an attempt to agree on one suit. Involving test of the Adamson act, to press for early consideration by the Supreme Court. The delay in reaching an agreement arose mainly, it is believed, from the desire of the railroad representatives to pick from the many cases pending in federal courts one covering typical conditions faced by all roads. CONFER WITH EXECUTIVES New York, Nov. 2S. The Adam son Law Commlislon appointed by,, President Wilson to Investigate the operations of the act, held its first meeting here to-day and conferred with more than a dozen railroad ex ecutives for the announced purpose of discussing with them informally the methods to be used In the Investiga tion. The commission will hold a similar conference with the heads of the railroad brotherhoods at a later date. TEUTONS OVERRUN ALL WALLACHIA fContinued From First Page] was operating In the Orsovai region yet remains In doubt as does the ex tent to which the Russo - Rumanian forces In the Jlul Valley were able to withstand the swift southward thrust of Von Falkenhayn's trops. Destroying Supplies Indications of the abandonment by the Rumanians of a large section of Western Wallachla may be found In to-day's announcement by the Bul garian war office. It reports the de struction by Rumanian forces of the bridge over the Danube near Corabla, 60 miles southeast of Craiova; the firing of stores of ammunition there and the aluklpg by tho Rumanians of NOVEMBER 23, 1916. their barges In the Danube, presum ably In the region Indicated. So far It appears that the entente forces which captured Monaatlr have not been able to press their advance beyond the new line taken up by the Bulgarians and Germans a short dis tance north of the city. Sofia records the repulse of entente attacks in the bend of the Cerna and further east ward and the stopping of advance guards which were pushing forward in the regions of lakes Presba and OcHrlda, to the west. Only artillery and aviation opera tions along the Somme In Northern France and elsewhere on tho Franco- Belgian front are reported In to-day's bulletins from Bondon and Paris. The British Admiralty to-day con firmed press advices that there were no wounded on board the British hos pital ship Britannic when she sunk in the--Aegean. Those on the vessel were her crow and the hospital staff. Kmnanln Admits Defeat A Bucharest official statement to day, the first received since Sunday last, reports the wlthdrawul of the Rumanians fro mthe Jiul valley, but throws little further light on the sit uation around Craiova. The Ruman ians are reported to have maintained their positions in the Alt valley. Berlin's statement to-day announces tho situation la Wallaohia unchang ed. The arrival of Russian rein forcements on the eastern Transyl vanian front is reported. Tho appearance of the words "front of Archduke Joseph" in tho German headquarters statement indicates that command of the Austro-German forces on the Transylvanian front has been changed on the assumption of the throne of Austria-Hungary by Archduke Charles Francis, who has been commander on that front. The Archduke Joseph, highest In army rank is Archduke Joseph Ferdinancf, who has been commender of the fourth army.
