George Also Lays Blaim on Ex press Company's Wagons en and Clerks for Taking Improperly Pack Goods H. G. Rantburg. of this city, super intendent of the Middle divisiou of the A Jains Express Company, called togeth er about "forty of his employes from as far west as Greeusburg, south Win ohester, Ya„ ami York, Pa., and uoroh to Lock Haven. The meeting was held in the Hoard of Trade auditorium 011 Saturday, beginning at 10 a. m„ ami was addressed bv O. B. George, geuerai claim ageut, New Vork City; C. H. Packie, superintendent of the money or der department. New York; L. S. .laeobv, superintendent of supplies, Jer sey City, N. J., and W. 11. Tuns, of the Oriter apd Food Products Bureau, Philadelphia. All of these talks were interesting and instructive. The meeting was called to order at 10 a. m. and the speakers were not through at 6 p. m. Mr. George spoke first on the subject of claims, original handling and final settlement. He jxplained the cause was principally witfi the shippers in not properly i re paring their goods tor shipment, in not propertly marking same and also laid gre.it blame on the wagoumeu and re ceiving clerks of the company for ac cepting this business in the manner in which they do, as if a shipment is not properly*packed aud the attention of the shipper is called thereto, it is be lieved he will have it projerly put up before letting it go out of Ills hands, rather than have it broken to pieces or lost as the case may be, and have con troversy with the transportation com pany. He quoted losses on automobile parts, principally auto tires, which had failed to reach destination, and stated that within one week, the claims for loss of automobile tires was more than sl,-100, practically all of which had been lo oted in the No-Mark Bureau at New- York, but. of course, as is always the case, when a tire, even though it is worn out, is returned to the shippers, his tire was always berter. It is. there fare, suggested as relief, that the ship pers mark their tires in two places, both old and new tires, putting one tag on the inside and the other on the outside, then if the outside tag becomes lost or torn, the one on the inside is still iu good shape. He quoted many other il lustrations of broken furniture, lost goods, failure iu delivery, broken eggs, etc. He quoted instances where ship pers had been found to put in claims for broken eggs to the amount of express charges or .a little mor#. and one in stance a commission merchant became very angry when the company insisted upon counting the broken "eggs for which they hail claimed twenty .'.ozen broken, and upon examination only three eggs were found broken in the en tire shipment of thirty odd cases. The flimsy paper shell case is the one which has caused the company so many claims, and is intended to go out of the packing houses oniy once, bat when they are sent to a country store thev are sent to a commission house in the city— the result is—they are alwav broken. L. S. Jaeoby, of the supply depart ment. spoke on the use and abuse of supplies, as this feature of the busi ness requires great care, or the cost would run away with the benefits. Marking tags for the year 1913 cost the company more than $20,000. C. H. Packie, of the money order department, instructed the agents in the handling of money orders. His. talk was interesting, lasting about three ' hours. This feature of the business is one of great importance to the public i and to the employes, as it permits of the handling of money in an absolutely J safe manner to all parts of the world , in which the company has co-respond-1 ents. Tue foreign department for the handling of freight was also spoken of I by Mr. Packie. It is not generally ] knowu that the Adams Express Coni- ' pany can issue a through bill of ladiug | for a shipment which goes by freight. : but such is the case, and that feature w-as explained in detail, as the Adams Express Company can i?sue a tiirouJ-ii j bill of lading to the manufacturer in Harrisburg, guaranteeing the safe de- i livery of same iu a foreign country, j and the shipment can go forward by freight out of this station. W. >H. Tunis, of the Order of Fo>i Products Bureau, explained that feature I of the business, in which the consumer; and the ;reducer are brought in con- ' tact and the consumer receives the ben- j etit of the product at the wholesale price. A circular is issued each week ! by bis department and put into the! hands of the local agent, from whom in formation can be c-btained, in regard i to the handling of toe jroduct.

BUT here's a big, new, complete and remarkably well assorted stock of the best men's wear the market affords. None of it is over four months old, but every dollar's worth is now selling at big, but legitimate, reductions from our former low prices, because it's our policy never to carry anything over to another season. Living up to this policy costs us considerable money at clearance time, but it prevents anything ever growing old on our hands, and makes countless firm friends whose good will and good words are far beyond any dollars-and-cents valuation. Quoting former prices instead of so-called "values" leaves no ques tion as to the exact amount of money you can now save. $15.00 $20.00 $25.00 Suits and Suits and Suits and Overcoats Overcoats Overcoats $10.75 $14.75 $18.75 $30.00 Suits and Overcoats $21.75 *4- i That those choice Kuppenheimer Suits and overcoats rJ\J 11 t i are marked down the same as everything else —that al- Fnrcrpt ) tera^ons cost y° u nothing—and that satisfaction is ™ ( guaranteed the same as if you paid full price. \ , <7 Shirts—Raincoats ~T rousers v * Boys' Suits and Overcoats All Marked Down 304 Market Street .

SEE NO ESCAPE FOR TALAP 1 FROM IHEMCTRIC CHAIR Capitol Hill Men Deny There Hsus Been Any Hitch in Bed Tape Than Can Save Life of First Man Sentenced to New Form of Death The statement that John Talap, the Montgomery county wife murderer, who is sentenced to die by electrocution during the week of February 2Z, will have to be reprieved because the noti : fication of the day of his electrocution has not yet reached the Montgomery authorities, owing to a mixup of papers at the Executive Department, conse | quent on a change of administration, is not taken seriously by those who have 4# I charge of such matters at the depart- I ment. I-a was pointed out Jthis morning that i t>h"e electrocution law' specifically says j that when the Governor fixes the I in which a murderer is to be electro ! cuted, that fact must at once be com municated to the warden at the death house in Centre county, where the new penitentiary is being constructed, and there is no requirement that the notice must be sent to the authorities of the county in which the murderer was con victed.
