GOVERNOR URGES REFORM. Governor Stuart promised that he would, to the extent of his insist upon the fulfillment of all promises of. roform, and that without assuming to dictate to the Legislature he would urgently recommend their early enactment Into laws. Governor Stuart said: "I recommend a thorough examination of the banking laws of the Commonwealth with a view of framing a new act which will more fully protect and safeguard the deposits of our people." --Governor Stuart declared that all officers and directors of financial Institutions should be held legally responsible for any acts in violation of the law, and further recommended that an act be framed making com debt of the United States -Is heeded to put the railroads of -the nation.

All of the witnesses who have been sworn testified that the holdings of the coal companies In Duryea Borough do not aggregate In the hundreds of thousands of dollars, as haa been presumed. The values they give In comparison to the estimate are ridiculously small. This was made evident this morning when engineers of the L.

The Hallstead breaker which-the company has been remodeling, together with boiler houses, one of the witnesses 'claimed was not worth more than $25,000.

"If the officials of the company refuse to come to Ftndlay and plead to the Indictments," he says, "they will be arrested and brought here as prisoners.
