ness is so heavy that prompt hand
ling of fish shipments is out of the
question. Sea food that should
reach Harrisburg within 24 hours
after it Is caught, is from two to
five days betynd time getting here.
Dealers refuse to accept fish ship
ments that are delayed.
Local dalers last week did not
get one-half of their usual ship
ments. The supply for to-day was
also late In reaching this city. One
shipment from Erie last week was
L flve days getting to Harrlsburg. A
general belief prevails amo'ng local
dealers that unless there Is some re
lief, express companies will be
obliged to place an embargo on
perishable shipments.
Officials of the express companies
say they are doing everything pos
sible to prevent congestions. Help
Is scarce and delays In handling the
shipments follow. When the express
company Is unable to deliver per
ishable goods on time. It Is a loss
to the company. First attention is
always given to perishable goods,
but It frequently happens that de
lays occur on other divisions, and
unless there Is some relief. It 1B %uld
there Is likely to be a scarcity of
sea food In Harrlsburg.

SAVED $25,000,000 FOR
HEI IIS, BONDING COS. RKPORT
In 1916 at least $25,000,000 be
longing to this country's widows and ,
minors was saved from swindlers by
bonding companies which had be
aome surety upon the bonds of ad
ministrators, executors and guar
dians. An estimate to this effect,
based on National Surety Company
records has been made public by
Howar dM. Bird, the company's
local agent.
Some remarkable frauds were >
prevented last year by the vigilance
of surety companies. Fascinated by
a foreign financier, a wealthy widow
was prevented by a surety company
from investing a $55,000 estate in
the bonds of a South American re
public which soon after repudiated
its debt.
