ploye will be overlooked. In order to
reach the maximum for Harrisburg,
it will be necessary to enroll fifty new
members to-morrow. Because of the
fact that some of the committeemen
cannot send in their reports tomor
row, the final count will not be made
until noon Saturday.
In the United States a total of 24,-
170 new members have been recorded.
This is an average of 3,000 a day, and
as the nation-wiae report still out will
cover three days there is not the least
doubt that the 30,000 will be reached.
At the local association to-night
Athletic Night will be observed. Mem

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.
Campbell, Johnstown attorney, who
was secretary to Lieutenant-Governor
Murphy, died at his home Tuesday.
Discussing Coal Suits.—W. 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. The David Berg
Distilling Company, of Philadelphia,
to-day brought a complaint before the
Public Service Commision against the
Pennsylvania railroad involving a 300-
yard haul of molasses from Reed
street wharf to its plant. 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."

conference over the Adamson law
cases to-day agreed to request that
the Santa Fe case scheduled to come
up In the United States District Court
in Kansas City, Kansas, be postponed
until to-morrow.
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

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

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
