DON'T APPLY HERE Harrisburg Is Governed by Separate Propositions Say People at Capitol : In spite of many i V\\ $ //J beliefs to the con vv\\ trary the antlira v\\\ AH/ cite rate case] 7 which is now lie- | ■ ' fore the Public i Service Com mis [WjpncjQQV: sion for final ao- U " on - after appeals j&aJBJUUwBt Dauphin county M—court are with ■MtaaßrißESSEß drawn. does not apply to Harrisburg. The case was brought primarily against the rates for hauling coal between the anthra cite region and Philadelphia and naturally governed the immediate vi cinity of that city. The impression has gained ground that it applied to all rates for hauling coal. At the Capitol it was learned to-day that the rates between the coal lields and Harrisburg and its surrounding towns were a different proposition and that they would have to be taken up as a separate proposition if any relief Is sought. Harrisburg lies close to the valley region, which produces some of the best coal in the land, but the bulk of the coal sold here is from away up in Luzerne or Schuylkill counties and Lykens coal goes through Harrisburg but does not tarry to any extent. The commission will hardly act on approval of the proposition to settle the Philadelphia rate cases until Mon day at least. To Discuss Paintings —The Board of Publlo- Grounds and Buildings will meet next Tuesday when the decora tions for the north coridor of the Capitol will be discussed and a pro gram mapped out. \\ ill Follow Up —John Campbell, who resides on the West Shore and Hied a complaint against the Riverton Consolidated Water Company's serv ice has given notice of intention to follow up liis complaint before the Public Service Commission.

To Take Up Reiiealers —All of the repealers of obsolete laws which passed the House last week will be j messaged to the Senate for action when it meets on Monday night.

Clearing the Books—A series of quo warranto actions will be taken by the attorney general's department this month to clear the State's books of corporations which have not been op erating in the last five or six years. In addition, suits against inactive cor porations which have not been paying their taxes will be started. Money Rollins: lll —The State reve nue has bedn at the rate of a couple of hundred thousand dollars a day this week and the cash balance is now on its annual upward movement. The State always has a lot of money at this time of the year and in the fall when the receiving period is almost over there is a decline which gives a chance for "knockers" to bawl over house keeping methods. The State suffers from what might be termed "seasonal revenue" and the fiscal officers have their hands full to keep the funds spread out. Back Survey Bill.

The an nouncement was made this morning. The Bell System made the announce ment yesterday and the other com panies followed. There is a possibility that the Postal Telegraph Company will fall in line later, although no official announce ment has been made. Gus Catherman, local manager of the Western Union, has not been notified of the action and stated this morning that it is not likely men will be drawn from smaller cities unless the situation becomes very serious. "I am in favor of the project and think every large concern should offer its services to the government in times of war," he said. Manager Clark Diehl, of the Postal Telegraph Company, here, when asked as to whether his company had issued any statement concerning the signal corps project, stated that he had not received any such information, but that he thought the Postal Telegraph Company would fall in line with the others should the occasion demand. About 12,000 expert telegraphers are employed by the Western Union and 49,000 expert electricians are available for service from the West ern Electric Company. These added to 80,000 employes of the telephone companies throughout the United States, will give the government an opportunity to select men best quali fied for the most complete signal corps ever organized. / 1,500,000 Acres of Land Opened to Homesteaders Bv Associated Press Washington.
