NISSLEY NOT YET APPREHENDED BY FEDERAL OFFICERS Stcelfon Man Charged With Conspiracy in Stock Deals Still at Large At a late hour this afternoon no action had been talten before United State Commissioner Leßoy J. Wolfe, against Amos H. Nissley, of Steelton, charging the latter with conspiring to defraud by using the malls. According to a dispatch from Phil adelphia bail for Nissley has been set at $ 7,000 and Post Office Inspector Frank Wilbur Smith, of Philadelphia, is to apprehend Nissley. The prelim inary case will probably bo brought before Commissioner Wolfe. Nissley, it was understood, at noon to-day was arranging with attorneys concernings the case, and it is expect ed that the formal action against him will be completed late in the after noon. He is charged, according to indict ments by the Federal Grand Jury at Philadelphia, under a charge of be ing Implicated with Clawson Baeh man and Joseph T. Hayden, Philadel phia, in defrauding investors out of more than $1,500,000 during the last five years. N f ews of the indictments became known yesterday during the bankrupt cy proceedings against the Interna tional Gas and Electric Company. At the Elite Shoo Repairing shop to-day, it was said that Mr. Nissley is no longer connected with that firm, as was reported yesterday. Inspector at Work a Year The indictments on Saturday at Philadelphia were the result of one year's work by Inspector Smith. Bach man and Hayden were also said to be Interested in the Bay State Mutual Life Insurance Company, which went into the hands pf the receiver several years ago. Rumors were afloat then that flyers in high finance had been taken, but authorities did not molest any of the officials. Reports from Philadelphia increase the figures of the frauds practiced on residents in Dauphin and Lancaster counties, and according: to Inspector Smith one million dollars had been received through stock transactions. Charges have also been made by the postal inspector that the corporation "kited" checks to the amount of $40,- 000 a day and established the Bank of Independence, in Logan, as a clear ing house for their paper. This bank was liquidated recently. The International Gas and Electric Company was chartered in September, 1911, under the laws of Delaware with a capitalization of $1,500,000. Later another corporation, the Southern Gas Company, was chartered with $60,000 capital stock. The post office author ities declare that this second corpor ation did not have a single dollar of assets, but was used to sell stock fraudulently when investors had be come wary of the financial methods of the International Company. Under its charter the International Gas and Electric Company was per mitted to "operate, construct and maintain" gas plants in various sec tions of the country. The directors claimed to have control of a number of subsidiary corporations, whose stocks and bonds were as follows: Georgetown Railway and Light Company, Georgetown, S. C.; common stock, $51,875. Georgetown Gas and Electric Com pany, Georgetown, S. C.; SIOO,OOO common stock. Southern Gas and Electric Com. pany; common stock, SIOO,OOO. Concord Gas Company, Concord, N. C.; common stock, $100,000; first mortgage 6 per cent, bonds, $240,000. Gaston County Gas Company, Gas tonia, X. C.; common stock, $300,000; first mortgage bonds, $225,000. Suburban Gas Company, East Syra cuse, N. Y.; common stock, $10,000; 6 per cent, gold notes, $40,000. (This corporation denied yesterday that it was connected with these enterprises in any manner. Another charge made by the au thorities is that "blue stock" had been | issued by the International Company, lin companies which had no assets. It is on this charge that Inspector Smith obtained the indictment. In Steelton, Oberlin and other near by places where the stock had been sold by Nissley, according to reports to-day, it is claimed that Nissley him self lost money when the crash came some time ago. Many stories have been circulated about alleged methods of Nissley in selling stock. Among the persons who have lost money because of the crash are a large number of people, who, it is said, acted on Nissley's advice and bought stock as a profitable invest ment for the savings of a lifetime. A number of more prominent people, too, have been defrauded, it is alleged, some of them losing thousands of dollars. Little was said in Steelton for some time about the collapse of the com pany, although it was generally known by the majority of residents. Nothing has been done, recently, it was said to-day, to start . '•occedings with a view of getting ar.j of the money back. Harrisburgers Named on State Fire Committees In naming various committees.

The proposals are as follows: Employes receiving salaries of less than SI,OOO per annum, an increase of 3 3 1-3 per cent., provided that no employe shall receive compensation at a rate of less than $3 per day if paid by the day, S9O a month if paid by the month, or SI,OBO a year if paid by the year.
