as "dead." These
companies which
had been granted license to do busi- |
ness in this State failed to file re- i
ports for capital stock and loans j
taxes and for several years the |
settlements for taxes against them |
were estimated. Owing to difflcul- t
ties experienced in locating offices |
Mr. Snyder sent a representative to j
Dover where it was discovered that
the corporations had gone out of
business or were not assets from a
State taxation standpoint.
During July the Auditor General
collected $101,924.81 in delinquent |
taxes, some of which had been ow
ing for years. In the first six months
of this year over half a million dol
lars of taxes that were long over
due were gotten in. Since January
1, 1918, the Auditor General's de
partment has sent to the State Trea
sury $2,318,556.25 collected as de
linquent taxes.

field and Hollidaysburg, mainly on j

sions. A number of the applications
are made by telephone companies ]
for use of facilities while the
Laurel Hill Telephone co., asks the
right to acquire interest of the
Connellsville - Springfield Telephone
company. A rural line asks the j
right to start business in Westmore
land county. The Johnstown hear
ing will be on the complaint of the
borough of East Conemaugh that
the borough of Franklin refuses to
join in approval of plans for a
bridge, a proceeding of an unusual
character.

son. "The details of the scheme

changes may be required in them,
but the reorganization Idea consid
ered as a whole Is approved," Mr.

Hunted on Reputation—Dozens of
men went hunting blackbirds in
Pennsylvania this week with only
good reputations and a gun. Owing
to the fact that the State Game '
Commission did not get the arm
tags for holders of hunters' licenses
from the printer, tags were not
available and permission was given
for men to wear their 1918 licenses
or to produce such reports, the
game wardens being told to go easy
about enforcement of the license
law where a man was known to be
a law abiding citizen and In a
county where the county treasurer
had not received his supply of licen
ses from the State printer.
Brunner to Return —Arnold XV.
Brunner, the architect of the State
Board of Grounds and Buildings for
the Memorial Bridge, new office
building and Capitol park improve
ments, is expected to return here in
a few days with the changes in the
plans. They will be laid before
Governor William C. Sproul and it
is believed that advertisement for j
the bridge and office building can be
made so that bids will be opened
late in September.
Forest Fire Loss—The people of
Pennsylvania are losing approxi
mately $50,000,000 a year because of
forest fires and las year through the
activity of State Forestry depart
ment employes several dozen persons
responsible for fires through care
lessness were arrested and fines
aggregating $6,000 were imposed.
These facts and the declaration that
if the State's forest fire fighting ser
| vice is to be made efficient much
| larger appropriations than the $90,-
000 allotted this year will be essen
j tion are set forth In a report on
[ forest fires issued to-day by the
State Forestry department. The
I department seeks to expand its fire
service by location of several cen
ters with complete forest fire equip- ]
I ment and a call system for men. j
In a number of places observation i
towers have been established on j
high locations and telephone alarm !
system outlined. The report gives I
cause of fires which show that '
most of them are preventable if
co-operation and funds are pro
vided .

FEARS AMERICAN "INVASION"
The Barcelona Journal Vanguardia i
sounds a note of warning against
the danger, very real in the writer's \
opinion, of the capture by foreigners
of the natural wealth of Spain, and !
of her virtually becoming a colony j
of the United States.
A commercial Invasion from that !
country forms a frequent topic of '
conversation in Barcelona just now. j
This is no mere rumor. That the j
Americans intend to establish in j
Spain one of their most lucrative j
markets, and to work to their advan- I
tage the neglected wealth of its soil, '
is proved by the recent establish- ■
ment of a number of American i
banks, by the daily opening of i
branches of leading New York |
houses, and by schemes for the con- j
st ruction of railways, to be managed |
from the other side of the Atlantic, i
The Pizzarros and the Cortes of i
this conquest of Spain by America [
are affable managers, who are bring- j
ing in their train an army of com- j
mercial travelers, foremen, engi- i
neers and clerks. With very few !
exceptions, Spaniards regard this in- i
vasion with indifference, if not with j
actual approval, arguing that in- '
dustrles once set up in the country i
will remain there, supply work, and
cause money to circulate. Let the
Yankees come by all means, they j
say. There is a tendency among the j
majority either to enjoy or hoard j
money made during the war and to I
leave the development of national j
resources to foreign capital. As a j
result of the influx of wealth due to j
the war may be noted the increase j
of the theaters, music halls, and ■
luxuries of all kinds.—Living Age.
OFFER ACCEPTED
The man in the next flat was j
pounding on the wall. "Look here!" !
he cried, "I can't sleep with your j
kid yelling like that! It you don't I
make hi mstop, I will!"
"Come in, sir—come in!" said the I
kid's father. "You'll be as welcome i
as the flowers in spring." Edin- I

A dispatch from London quoting
the London correspondent of the

Jimmy Wilde, the noted British
pugilist, "already the Hon of the
lobbies," probably will accept a Par
liamentary seat from a Welsh con
stituency, where he ranks as a na
