TRUST COMPANY
MAY TAKE OVER
WRECKED BANK
State Probers Hope to Pay
Every Bill Against the
North Penn
FhtladelplUa, July 25.—Negotia- |
Hons to have prominent trust com- |
panics take. over the affairs of the
wrecked North Penn Bank, which i
tlosed its doors last Friday with a
(900,000 shortage, and paying, dol- j
lar for dollar, every claim against :
ihe defunct institution, were opened
festerday.
Working independently of each !
other, representatives of both the |
State and Ralph T. Moyer, the :
bank's cashier, who is under $2 5,- I
)00 bail, interviewed leading bank- l
rs in regard to turning over to them
lire bank's business.
Statements by Moyer, according
lo his attorney and personal friend,
William Morgan Montgomery, are
luch as to indicate that the bank's j
condition is not so bad as to pre- !
elude its being placed on a paying i
basis by any big banking institu- j
lion.
The fact that Colonel Fred Taylor :
Pusey, the Keystone division officer !
who is in charge of the State in- j
vestigation as a special deputy at- '
torney general, likewise began nego- |
tiations with prominent bankers j
yesterday, is believed to indicate j
that he, too, is of the belief that the j
North Penn might be taken over by
another bank in a manner that its j
depositors will not lose one cent by i
the failure.
Another development of import- !
ance to depositors was the an- !
nouncenrent by Colonel Pusey that
former Insurance Commissioner j
Charles A. Ambler, a heavy debtor I
to the North Penn, had asserted his i
ability to pay off every obligation
within a few days after a definite j
statement of his indebtedness is j
furnished him.

FRIDAY EVENING,
SENATE GIVEN
CRUELTY DATA
Convicted Soldier Describes
I Punishment in Prison
i
Pen Overseas
Washington, July 25. Further
charges of cruelty to American sol
diers in prisons in France were made
I in a letter presented yesterday by
1 Senator Harding, Republican, of
5 lowa. It was referred to the Sen
ate Military Committee for concider
-1 ation in connection with the bill
l of Senator Chamberlain, Democrat,
|of Oregon, proposing cancellation
| of all military sentences for offenses
! not felonies under the Federal
! statutes.
i The letter was from Frank Woods,
Youngstown, Ohio, who was dis
j honorably discharged from the
Army after having served ten
months of a three-year sentence.
' Woods said he saw a lieutenant,
I Disjordan, a prison officer, knock
i down prisoners with a blackjack.
Prisoner Maltrcattl
"I also saw Lieutenant Colonel
! Maul take a prisoner out, hsndcuff
and shackle his feet and gag him
j because he tried to get a letter to
I his people, telling them of the
: treatment he received at the prison
j camp," said Woods, adding that he
I himself got twenty days' solitary
! confinement on bread and water
I for attempting to advise his rela
l tives of his sentence.
Prisoners fell down from starva
tion, Woods declared, and were glad
to get bread from Chinese laborers.
Issues Blackjacks
| Captain Dewey, of the 11th Ma
| rincs, who were doing guard duty
; at one camp, issued blackjacks to
j his men and ordered them "to go
i as far as they liked," Woods wrote.
"You could sec of men
' going to the hospital every day to
have their heads bandaged from the
■ 'reciuent use of these blackjacks,"
j said the letter.
j The special House War Investigat
ing Committee, which yesterday
heard read War Department rec
ords showing that three commis
j-sioned and five noncommissioned
i officers had been court-martialed be
j cause of brutalities in handling
- American prisoners at camps in and
near Paris, are considering the ad
i visnbility of calling additional wit
j nesses.
It was believed that if more wit
nesses are called they will include a
| number of Army officers of high
rank.
BANKS FROM GRENADES
! Banks made from hand grenades
j were received at the local post office
yesterday from the Third Federal
j Reserve Bank, and will be distrib- I
j uted to school children upon apyili- !

COALMEN TOLD
TO ADVERTISE
Take Public Into Your Con
fidence, Retail Dealers'
Convention Advised
Reading, Pa., July 25. That-coal i
dealers should advertise and frankly i
take the public Into their confidence i
was asserted late yesterday in an j
address by John E. Lloyd, of Phila- |
delphia, president of the National j
Retail Coal Merchants Association, j
j on the "national obligations of the ;
| coal trade," at the convention of the !
| Pennsylvania Retail Coal Merchants' !
Association. He spoke at length on !
I the efforts of the national and State
| bodies to have favorable legislation j
I introduced into Congress and the
Legislatures.
"Many business men of to-day," I
be declared, "fail to feel the pulse of !
the times, fail to realize that condi
tions have changed and are chang
i ing, that old methods will no longer
bring success. |
"We have heard much of propa
ganda of late years and propaganda
rightly used is a most vital force in
the world to-day. The proper use
of it turned the tide in the recent
war. Propaganda is simply intensi
fied advertising and is a legitimate
expense in doing business and as such
should be charged to the cost per
ton.
"What propaganda has the coal
trade ever used? It Is about time
we adopt methods which have
changed the face of the globe more
iin a brief four years than in any
| other pbriod of the world's history,
i The coal trade has nothing to hide,
jWe have a duty to perform and
| should not hesitate to do It now.
| We owe it to the public to tell the
i facts frankly and fully concerning
j every detail of the coal Industry.
Our interests and the interests of the
j public are the same."
FRECKLE-FACE
| Sun and Wind Bring Out Ugly Spots
How to Remove Kasily
Here's a chance, Miss Freckle-face
| to try a remedy foi freckles with the
guarantee of a reliable concern that
will not cost you a penny unless it
removes the freckles: while if it does
give you a clear complexion the ex
pense is trifling.
Simply get an ounce of Otffilne—
double strength—from any druggist
and a few applications should show
you how easy it Is to rid yourself of
the homely freckles and get a beau
tiful complexion. Rarely is more
than one ounce needed for the worst
case.
Be sure to ask the druggist for the
I double strength Othtne as this
j strength is sold under guarantee of
j money back if it fails to remove
I freckles.

Wonderful liemedy, since taking It
nearly a year ago X have been enjoy
ing the best of health and feel like
a new person. I have no trouble
from anything I eat." It is a simple,
harmless preparation that removes
the catarrhal mucus from the in
testinal tract and allays the inflam
mation which causes practically all
stomach, liver and intestinal ail
ments, including appendicitis. One
dose will convince or money refund
