NEW BUREAU IS
GOOD COLLECTOR
Gets in Over $1,667,000 of Dc-
linquent Taxes For the
State's Strong Box
The new bureau established In the
Auditor General's Department. .to
collect delinquent taxes cor
porations doing business in Pennsyl
vania will close the state's fiscal year
with collections of $1,667,275.02 and
over one thousand "dead" corpora
tions crossed off the books at the
Capitol. The prediction made by
Auditor General Charles A. Snyder
when he established the bureau oh
January 1 that he could get a mil
lion and a half dollars for the state
without spending a cent for collect
ing has been borne out.
The work pf this branch of the
department, which is presided over
by Samuel S. Lewis, of York, Is offi
cially known as tho Delinquent Di
vision of the Bureau of Corpora
tions, has attracted considerable
attention, as it took hold of some
long-overdue accounts, certain ones
dating from the last administration
in the department, and secured per
fectly good United States banknotes
settlement for state taxes on cap
ital stock and loans. In other in
stances, corporations which had
shown no regard for their credit ahd
allowed penalties to accumulate
without answering notices wore
fought to book by plain words. The
removal of the "dead" companies
from the books will not only reduce
the work of the department consid-i
jatAItRIEBtIRG TELEGRAPH
erably, but clear the Treasury books
of numerous assets which have been
suspected, but which could not be
dropped until Investigations were
made.
The Auditor Generat intends to
place the collection of delinquent
taxes in the halnds of attorneys with
instructions to sue for the money for
tho state where the new division
cannot get results. In this way
thousands of additional dollars will
be secured.
The state fiscal jear, which ends
to-morrow, will show a total of $44,-
000,000, it is believed." The best pre
vious record was $30,000,000, which
was the result of some big verdicts
being won by the state'and an over
hauling of delinquent accounts.
Soldier Allowance Not
to Stop Until Peace Comes
it Allowances to families of men
serving in the army and navy will
.continue for one month after the
President has issued his proclama
tion of peace, it was announced to
day in a statement made to the Tele
graph by Ensign F. E. Jansen, of the
United States Navy Pay Corps. In
reference to this Important matter,
the officer said:
"It is provided by regulations that
government allowances in connection
with allotments will be stopped one
month' after the termination of the
present war emergency. The inter
pretation of this by the Bureau of
War Risk Insurance is that all gov
ernment allowances will he stopped
one month after the proclamation by
the President of the United States
that peace has been declared. Until
such proclamation is made allow
ances will be continued and checks
will be sent to the allottes as usual
from the Bureau of War Risk In
surance."

which tho claimant did not work

The claimant was hurt in the em
ploy of the company and given com
pensation. Immediately after he
went- into the employ of another
concern, but was compelled to stop
work because of effects of the in
jury. The opinion says that he has
been able to handle lighter work
than that which lie did when hurt
and that he should take steps to ob
tain relief. Then he may apply for
a change in the compensation order.

PRESIDENT STEPS
IN TO SAVE LIFE
OF THOS. MOONEY
California's Governor Com
mutes Death Sentence to
Life Imprisonment
Sacramento, Col., Nov. 29.—The
sentence of Thomas J. Mooney, sen
tenced to be hakged on December 13
for the deaths of ten persons killed
by a bomb explosion in San Fran
cisco during a preparedness parade,
July, 1916, was commuted by Gover
nor W. D. Stephens last night to im
prisonment for life.
Court action to save Mooney from
the gallows was exhausted by the
prisoner, the Supreme Court of the
United States having recently decid
ed it could not review the case.
Threats of a national strike in case
the Governor did not Intervene had
been made in various parts of the
country and some time ago it was
reported that President Wilson had
Written the Governor to see that
Mooney suffered no injustice. The
trial judge had also requested a new
trial for Mooney.
Governor Stephens" statement an
nouncing the commutation said that
in considering the case he had had
before him "the urgent appeal pf the
President of the United States that
I grant commutation."
"Originally, in January of this
year, I received a letter from the
President asking me if it would not
be possible to postpone the execu
tion of Mooney until he could be
tried upon one of the other indict
ments against him.
Wilson Incorrectly Informed
"Inasmuch as an appeal already
had been taken to the Supreme Court
of California, which appeal itself
acted as a stay of the execution,
there was at that time no occasion
for action on my part. I take it
that the President was not correctly
informed as to the status of the
case." A
In explaining why he had not felt
called on 4 to act previously, the Gov
ernor said:
"The Case as presented to the Cali
fornia courts was that of murder,
without further evidence of motive
than the impossible tenets of anarch
ists: whose sympathies for the Ger
man cause In the war are well known.
Their wild pacitist theories fitted into
the widespread activities of the
Kaiser's agents in this country.
"A number of persons of pronounc
ed anarchistic tendencies were ar
rested shortly after the explosion and
of these Warren K. Billings was con
victed and sentenced to life impris
onment and Thomas J. Mooney found
guilty and sentenced to be hanged.
Waited on Court Action
"So long as avenues of appeal to
the courts remained open to Mooney,
and he was availing himself thereof,
I deemed it improper for executivo
authority to Interfere."
The statement reviews the case
fully and quotes the two messages
from President Woodrow Wilson, in
which tiie action now taken by the
Governor was suggested. The coin-'
mutation, says the Governor, reduces
the case to the status of that of
Warren K. Billings^
"I refuse to recognize this case as
in any fashion representing a clash
between capital antj labor," the Gov
ernor said, and he characterized as
!absui>d the propaganda that, would
make Mooney appear as a martyr to
the cause of labor, ill support of
this statement, he quotes u letter
front Alexander Ilcrkman outlining
the plan afterward adopted for the
Mooney campaign.
Dee|de Case ou Merita
He denies that Mooney was a true
friend of labor and characterized his
previous record as such that it did
not enlist 'faith in him among law
abiding citizens, but said in conclu
sion that this particular case had
been decided on its merits.
The two messages sent by Presi
dent Wilson follow*:
"The White House, Washington, D.
C„ March 27, 1918.
Governor William D. Stephens.
Sacramento, Cal.:
With very great respect I take the
liberty of saying to you that if you
could see your way to commute the
sentence of Mooney it would have a
most heartfelt effect upon certain
international affairs which drs exe
cution would greatly complicate.
WOODROW WILSON."
"The White House. Washington,
D. C., 3.15 p. m., June 4, 1918.
"William D. Stephens, Sacramento,
Cal.
I beg that you will believe that I
am moved only by a sense of public
duty and of consciousness of the
many and complicated interests in
volved when I again must respect
fully suggest a commutation of the
death sentence imposed upon Mooney.
I would not venture again to call
your attention to this case did I not
know the international significance
which attaches to tt.
WOODROW WILSON."

Allies to Demand Kaiser;
Think U. S. Will Support
London, Nov. 29.—There Is no long
er any doubt that the Allies are able
to make a definite move to bring the
Kaiser to trial, and It Is largely as
sumed here that the United States
supports that decision.
It was understood to-day that
Lord Chancellor I-'inlay Amerers and
the Crown law officers' view Is that
international law sanctions such a
course, while leading Dutch justices
approve a Joint Allied claim for ex
tradition.
It is thought here that the Dutch
government is likely to accept these
opinions as the way out of the deli
