THURSDAY EVENING,
of the commuters will suffer some
what of a financial loss through the
fact that thoy will be obliged to
purchase tickets In February, only
a small fraction of which they will
be able to use.
By Its order, the railroad admin
istration counteracts the ruling of
the Pennsylvania Public Service
Commission, from which appeal was
made the latter part of 1914 to settle
a controversy between commuters
and the railroad companies over in
creases of passenger rates In the
suburbs. The commission fixed the
present status of the sixty-trip tick
ets as one of chief points In fa
vor of commuters, while allowing
increases in fares.
Considerable mystery surrounds
the promulgation of the order. It Is
said that the instructions came from
a special committee of the adminis
tration at Washington that was ap
pointed to standardize forms of rail
road tickets all over the country.
The ruling means that commuters
will have to get their tickets the first
of the month, and that no tickets of
that type can be bought in the mid
dle of the month. As it now stands,
a commuter may purchase a sixty
trip ticket, for examine, on the tenth
day of the month and use that ticket
until the tenth of the following
month. The present ruling provides
for n6 refund if any rides are re
maining. In the opinion of com
muters. the ctijjef advantage of the
lowered commutation rate is lost
by tlie new order. The fare advan
tage is lost when the commuter pur
chases his ticket a few days after the
first of the month.
Officials asserted that .the "special
committee" making the ruling was
doing it to make uniform the issu
ance of commutation tickets all
over the country. It was pointed out
that this territory is the only re
gion in the United States where
commutation tickets are not figured
on the calendar month basis.
Italian Consul Opposes
French Flag in Smyrna
Athens, Jan. 9.—According to a re
port received here from Smyrna, the
director o ftlie Austrian hospital at
Smyrna, Asia Minor, after the de
parture of the Austrian consul,
raised the French flag over the hos
pital, under the belief that France
was the protector of Roman Cath
olic institutions in the Near East.
The Italian consul, it is declared, de
manded that the French flag be re
placed by the Italian flag immedi
ately. The director of the hospital
refused.
The Italian consul, it Is added, then
requested the Turkish military au
thorities to arrest the director. He
is rqpprted to have been arrested and
placed aboard an Italian warship.
SHEDARKENED HER
GRAY HAIR
Well Known Uady Telle How She
Darkened llcr Gray 'rfnlr By a
Simple Home Made Remedy
Mrs. E. H. Boots, a well known
resident of Buchanan County, la.,
who darkened her gray hair by a
simple home-made remedy made
the following statement:
"Any lady or gentleman can dark
en their gray or faded hair, and
make it soft and glossy with this
simple remedy, which they can mix
at home. To half a pint of water
add 1 ounce of bay rum, one small
box of Barbo Compound and %
ounce of glycerine. These ingredi
ents can be purchased at any drug
store at very little cost. Apply to
the hair every other day until the
gray hair is darkened sufficiently.
This is not a dye, it does not color
the most delicate scalp, is not sticky
or greasy and does not rub off. It
will make a gray-haired person look
ten to twenty years younger."
GOVERNOR-ELECT
FILLS TWO MORE
CABINET SEATS
Forme"r State Senator Fisher
and Prof. Frederick Ras
mussen Appointed
Philadelphia, Jan. 9.—Ex-State Sen
ator John S. Fisher, of Indiana, will
be the next State Banking Commis
sioner, to succeed Daniel A. Lafean,
of York, and Prof. Frederick Ras
mussen, of Pennsylvania State Col
lego, will succeed Charles E. Patton
as Secretary ,of Agriculture. These
appointments were announced last
night by Governor-elect SDroul, who
said both had accepted.
"Senator Fisher," Mr. Sproul said,
"has had much experience along the
lines of trust company and banking
management and has given a great
deal of study to matters of the kind.
He was one of the leaders In the
Senate and was chairman of the com
mittee which investigated the State
Capitol scandal and made the report
to Governor Stuart recommending
the prosecutions in the Capitol cases.
"Professor Rasmussen is a com
paratively young man, who has ris
en rapidly In scientific, agricultural
circles. He has had much to do with
the agricultural activities of the
Committee of National Defense. He
has been requested several times to
accompany Government expeditions
to Europe to aid with the food prob
lems there.
"Professor Rasmussen had prac
tical farming experience In Denmark
and In lowa, where he resided in his
youth. He graduated from lowa Col
lege In the agricultural course and
taught 'there for a time, afterward
going to New Hampshire, where he
was in charge of the state farm
work, coming from there to Penn
sylvania State College, where he has
been the professor of dairy hus
bandry."
Professor Rasmussen won the
special commendation of Howard
Heinz, the state food administrator,
to whom he was of great assistance,
and he has been requested several
times to accompany government ex
peditions to Europe to aid with the
food problem there and to work out
plans for the rehabilitation of the
agricultural and dairy activities of
the devastated-regions in France and
Belgium. He has been professor
at Pennsylvania State College bf
dairy husbandry, and has very suc
cessfully managed the large dairy
establishments of the college. Pro
fessor Rasmussen has a complete
knowledge of the state and a very
large acquaintance among the n . -e
progressive farmers.
"I consider Professor Rasmussen
a particujarly able man, with tact,
force and industry, and I believe
that with the ideas he has in mind
he can be of great service to the
Department of Agriculture," said
Senator Sproul.
Banking officials have been anxi
ously awaiting the announcement of
Mr. Sproul's selection for Banking
Commissioner. It was said last night
that undoubtedly the selection of ex-
Senator Fisher would be satisfactory
to the financial Interests of the
state.
"Senator Fisher," said Mr. Sproul,
"was one of the organizers and
principal directors of the Indiana
Trust Company, a very successful
institution, and he is in touch with
the financial institutions of the state.
Moreover, he has had a great deal
of political experience and is very
widely known in the State, and has
been my close personal and politi
cal friend for more than twenty
years."

BRETZ INSANITY
PLEA IS SWEPT
/ BY THE COURT
Witnesses Tell of Financial
Transactions in Disbar
ment Proceedings
Witnesses who testified In criminal
proceedings or who will be called In
trials to be held later were among
those sent to the stand to-day to give
evidence against Harry M. Bretz,
bankrupt lawyer, in the disbarment
action against him, being heard by
President Judgo George Kunkcl and
Additional Law Judge S. J. M. Mc-
Carrell.
Franklin H. Wertz, one of the wit
nesses called, lias brought "Tour
charges against Bretz in criminal
court, alleging embezzlement as at
torney. Mr. Wertz, on the witness
stand to-day, said Bretz received Sl,-
000 in four Instalments, to be used
a apart payment on a mortgage, but
the lawyer kept the money. Wertz
denied he ever gave the attorney
authority to invest the money in any
business. He also explained he had
given $3,000 to be invested in a
mortgage and that the investment
was not arranged satisfactorily.
W. H. Windsor, the first person
to prosecute Bretz, was called later
and told of his payments totaling. SL
-000 on a $3,000 mortgage held by
Mrs. Lucy Early. He said he even
tually learned Bretz had kept the
money. In order to satisfy the mort
gage he was compelled to pay Hie
$l,OOO a second time. In both casis
the witnesses said Bretz admitted he
had received tho money and made
seme explanations and promises, but
did not pay it hack or use it for the
purpose when paid h'm
Other Charges Heard
Other charges against Bretz as
presented in the disbarment petition
wore taken up in order during the
aiternoon session of court.
i.? fr ° r ! ts to prove that was
either insane or in such a condi
tion of mental derangement that lie
could not be present in court to con
duct a defense or assist in prepar
lnp: it, failed when late yesterday af
ternoon Judgre Kunkel directed the
committee of the Dauphin County
Bar Association to call witnesses iii
the disbarrment proceedings.
After hear'ng-witnesses called by
retz s counsel, and two physicians
and an attorney called by the bar
committee, Judpe Kunkel remark
ed: "if anyone were to be con
sidered insane on the testimony of
fered here this afternoon, then we
would all be insane." The court
then directed that witnesses should
be called to present evidence to
support allegations made in the
bar association petition.
Mrs. Sarah A. Bretz, wife of the
bankrupt lawyer, was the first wit
ness called at the afternoon session.
She said that her husband's disposi
tion changed remarkably since last
September, that he had Ills of tem
per but was never violent, and also
seemed to be childish. She told the
court she did not think he knew
where "right ended and wrong be
gan," and did not believe from state
ments he made to her, that he
thought any of his business transac
tions were illegal.
Miss Laura M. Bretz, a daughter,
was called and corroborated state
ments made by Mrs. Bretz, adding
that her father formerly had al
ways treated members of the fam
ily kindly, but now was disagreeable
and seemed to suffer from inertia.
Other witnesses called were the Rev.
Dr. E. A. Pyles, a brother-in-law of
the lawyer: ex-Senator Franklin
Martin, of West Fairview, his fatli
er-in-law, and John Fulton, of the
Bethesda Mission.
Dr. T. S. Blair and Dr. V. Hum
mel Fager were the two physicians
called by the bar committee. The
latter had ifcen called to the Bretz
home o* Monday to see both Mr.
and Mrs. Bretz, and yesterday went
with Dr. Blair at his request to con
duct a physical and brief mental ex
amination of the attorney.
B<*h doctors on the stan<| said
that he appeared to be capable men
tally of comprehending and answer
ing all questions sensibly, understood
the purpose of tho visit and told
them he was both a "prosecuted and
a persecuted man." They said that
in their opinion he was able to be
present in court, but might break
down under a severe mental strain,
such as a grilling cross-examination
on the witness stand in a court
proceeding such as the one being
heard.
George L. Reed, another member
of the court bar, said that twice in
the last few weeks, the last time on
Thursday, January 2. Mr. Bretz was
a witness in a case heard at Car
lisle, and testified and answered
for about three hours without any
evidence of exhaustion. Mr. Reed
continued that all of the questions
asked Mr. Bretz were answered sen
sibly, were relevant and some of
them required him to recall inci
dents which happened from five to
ten years ago.
