Treasury contained $19,837,820.50, including proteeds of road bond sales, auto mobile and other license revenue, I but the amount applicable for gen i eral payment of bills was only $95, Deen called upon to serve as an offl 462.18, all the rest being held in spe cer in the interest of the public." cial funds. A Ex Governor. iJoJhu.K. was The motor vehicle fund contained in Harrisburg for a short time this $5,820,000 which must be devoted to afternoon on his way from road purposes, while, the gasoline tax fund, half of which must go to the counties, was stated to contain $757,889.91.

Whittingham, Philadel phia, March Harry C. Burger, well known here, has been named revenue deputy at Altoona. Philadelphia newspapers say A. Lincoln Acker, city purchasing agent, may become revenue collector for Philadelphia. The European starling is anybody's game now and threatens to become a problem, probably aa great as the English sparrow.

The starling resembles the blackbird and is often taken for the black coated visitor in winter time. The starling does not migrate, but remains all the year and in winter time goes into cities much like the sparrows. It is pugnacious and predacious and State Game authorities say it is not protected. So It may be shot. Sec retary Seth E.

Gordon, of the btate Game Commission, has been getting letters about the starling from farmers who want to know whether they can kill off the bird or have to just cuss at it. Although the trout streams oi Pennsylvania are ice bound, trout fishermen are thinking about them and letters are coming to Commissioner of Fisheries Nathan It. Bul ler asking for young trout to be distributed. This year, the Fisheries Department will allow but one application to a stream, but that does not seem to deter applicants. They; ate writing for young trout to put into the streams and willing to take brook, brown or rainbow, the three kinds in' which the State has been specializing.

Immediate steps will be taken by the State Tax Law Revision Commission to secure data upon the condition of tax liens and uncollected taxes throughout Pennsylvania for study at the meeting to be held here in about a month. At the same time the members will ascertain sentiment in regard to taxation methods and the proposed uniform collection bill. Later on meetings will be held in various sec tions to inform people of the rpro1 posed act. "There are hundreds of thousands of uncollected taxes so tangled up through lien laws that they cannot be collected, and that is one reason why the law should be straightened out," said Representative John G. Marshall of Beaver, secretary of the Commission, in talking about the matter.

"Cost of collection of taxes in this State is very heavy, and I believe from what we have ascertained we can save $2,000,000 a year in cost of collection alone." Pennsylvania's primary campaign is going to start, early and keep going, in opinion of people at the State Capitol, and one of the surest "signs' is the mariner in which applications are being, made for blank nominating petitions at the State Bureau of Elections. Chief George D. Thorn has received a number of letters requesting" im mediate dispatch of blanks. As a matter of fact they have not yet come from the printer and they may not be circulated for signatures, under State law, until February 2a. A little thing like that, however, dees not matter, and the applicants have asked for several times the number of petitions that may be needed.

One man explained he wanted to make certain in event mistakes were made. The State will not send more than a reasonable number to any aspirant for a nomination or his committee in charge. The petitions have to be specially ruled and the printing is some Job in itself. In a. numner or instances in previous years candidates secured forms and had their own printed.

Edmund K. Trent, special Deputy Attorney General at Pittsburgh, has been placed in charge, of legal matters pertaining to rrfercantllo appraiser matters in Allegheny county, in addition to his other work in charge of State matters in that city, by Attorney General George E. Alter. This action follows the decision of Auditor General Samuel S. Lewis not to have any special counsel for the appraisers any longer.

For years there were several lawyers attached to the office. The State Board of Pardons today formally, on its own motion, listed for consideration at the February meeting an application for pardon of James N. Strail, convicted of murder in Venango county and commuted in 1908, in recognition of meritorious conduct at the time of the mutiny in the Western Penitentiary last summer. Arthur P. Mylin, for the last sev en years principal of the Mount Joy schools, was to day appointed county school superintendent ot Lancaster by Dr.

Thomes E. Finegan, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, to serve until the directors elect a. superintendent in May.v He suc ceeds tne late superintendent Fleisher. The State Automobile Division to day gave notice that New York State 1921 tags would not be recognized after to day.

After hearing the members of the Censor Board, the Commissioners were shown types of the films eliminated by the Board's offices, and it is improbable any recommendations for changes either of the organisation or the" location of the headquarters will be made: James Moore, director of the Legislative Reference Bureau, said the Bureau lacked funds'to conduct investigations outside of its own offices and by correspondence Governor William O. Sproul is planning to take a short trip'by sea within a few weeks. The Governor said to day he had no intention of going to Florida.

MORE SURPRISES IN BIG CAMPAIGN Continued From First Page 9 p. it is expected that the votes of some candidates will reach the million mark.

Candidates hying outside' of Harrisburg have thrown down the gauntlet to those in the capital they declare they must win. That big Klondike prize of $5,000 is the cynosure of all eyes and it is no wonder that activity in vote gathering has started to reach tremendous proportions. "Who' will win the prizes it is impossible to predict. Several candidates whom it was thought would finish high have apparently faltered, while others whose vote totals have been low haveforged into the lead. The Final Vote Scale gives thousands of votes on new subscriptions.

Second payments will likewise receive the benefit of increased vote And here are the final instructions to read: Every subscription that is marked new must be bona fide new. No prizes will be awarded until every subscription is verified. "Switching' is prohibited and is likely to. result in cancellation of votes. No sum of money be accepted with a blank subscription stub or stubs, the names to, be filled in later.

Every subscription 'must be accompanied by the1 full remittance. All reserve votes that candidates are holding must be returned to the campaign office before they are credited. Send or bring them at once. Do not leave the ballots stuck away somewheres only to be discovered after it is. too late.

All voting ballots must be in the campaign office or in the mails by Saturday nightf at 9 elock. There will be no money refunded after the votes have been issued. This rule will toe strictly enforced for the mutual protection of the Telegraph and candidates. No personal checks will be ac cepted for subscriptions unless certi fied by the bank against which the check is drawn I Everything is in readiness for the finish. The ballot box, locked and sealed, is waiting to receive the precious voting ballots.

The end is in the hands of candidates and their friends. Persons who have been watching the campaign with interest who have friends among the aspirants they would like to win automobiles must lend their support NOW. Work! Fight to the last ditch!

RCONTEMP Continued From First Page fiaid 0rdlnance authorized The Penn 7 onJn svlvania Railroad onvpany ana Philadelphia Reading Railway Company to construct a subway under their respective tracks and rights of way, intersecting Market rirhi.fmvnr said railroad companies the City of Harrisburg agreed to construct the approaches to said subway, western side. stairways provided in the plans and maintain all portions of sl subway, except the overhead bridtw lining and masonry supports, and to assume all liability for. damages for tne taking of private property by reason of the construction of said subway.

That subsequently to the passage ot said ordinance, to wit, September 18, 1901. by ordinance 1 No. ,14, File of Select. Council of 1901, the predecessor of the. present Harrisburg Railways Company was authorized to lay own and operate in said subway a double line Of street railway tracks, 'for vhich privilege said passenger Railway company was.

to pay the sum of $5,000 and keep the roadway of said subway in perpetual, repair. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company did all the work required of lit by the ordinance aforesaid and paid all the expenses in connection therewith, thus fulfilling all obligation that said railroad company had entered into with said of Harrisburg. Tho Original Plan "2. That the subway a originally planned did not mako any provision for, the laying of trolley tracks thereon, and that the subsequent permission to lay these tracks aiid. the installation of the same has resulted in.

the congestion of travel, which otherwise would no; be pres. ent. "3. The respondent, denies that said subway is dangerous. No accident hao ever occurred therein 'because of its restricted width, and the said subway was originally entirely sufficient to take care of the travel at the time it was constructed arl for the estimated immediate utuv.

The present conditions are. due to the modern development of vehicular travel, the growth of the City cW Harrisburg and the presence of the trolley tracks in said subway, placed there by permission of the said City of Harrisburg, and the said The Pennsylvania Railroad Company is not responsible for any inadequacy or insufficiency, if tfie same should be found to fxlt. "4. Respondent further respectfully represents that original construction of the Market Street Subway was purely a municipal function and respondent was will ing to assist in, the erection of the same to tne extent it did, from its desire to assise in the proriotion of the best interests of the City Harrisburg, bui is now oC opinion that, having so contributed, it should not be asked to 'contribute any additional sum towards of a. purely municipal improvement.

Although respondent feels that it should not, and does not, object to any action taken by the municipality to increase tho width of said subway, respondent respectfully submits to the Commission that in so doing due consideration should be given to the fact that respondent railroad company has now under consideration certain varied improvements in connection with the operation of its lines, and particularly its passenger facilities in the City of Harrisburg, which will mean very radical changes with respect' to trackti, connections and station facilities in the immediate vicinity of the Market Street Subway, and that if said subway is to be widened, it should only be widened, in connection with said changes and improvements. "5. That while the subway was entirely sufficient to take care of the travel existing at the time it was constructed by reason of the exigencies of modern business, the growth of. the city, and the present development of motor vehicles, it might be possible that after due investigation the Commission should determine that the present structure is no longer sufficient and that it requires alteration. Offers to Make Plans "6, That if, after due investigation and hearing, the Comrhission should determine that the bubway as" it now exists is no longer adequate for the needs tof the traveling public! in and along Market etreet, the said The Pennsylvania Railroad Company is ready and willing to fur nish plans for the alteration of the said subway and estimates of the cost thereof.

"7. That the respondent company would also respectfully remind The Public Service Commission that, in accordance with the orders of the Commission, it is proceeding to the best of its ability to eliminate grade crossings which exist on the more fe highways through it rhe fatate of Pennsylvania; that the cost of these grade crossing eliminations imposes a great financial obligati upon tne respondent compaaj, which it has not been fully able to meet, in the present day of industrial depression, restricted transportation and impaired receipts from railroad operations. The respondent company, whild expressing its willingness to co operate Vith the City of Harrisburg and The Public Service Commission in endeavoring improve the existing conditions in the City of Harrisburg, and again asserting its willingness submit plans and estimates for tbe alteration of the said subway, if the same should be determined to he inadequate, respectfully submits that the elimination of grade crossings, wnicn now exist on tne pew improv cause postponement of any date tentatively fixed for a hearing this The cKy of Harrisburg, county of Dauphin, Pennsylvania and Reading Systems and the railways company, are the respondents, Mias Ella Ryder, of ISrle avenue is visiting her aunt in New York itr. i City, Ic.

With magic bow he not only drew from the instrument entrancing melodies, but from the souls of nearers insistent and fervid approval. Kreisler has played to Harriahnr audiences in the past, but never with such wizardry. If, perhaps, in other years, his virility stood out with greater emphasis, the unarming meuowness with which he played last night, even in the most, intricate recesses of the Bach suite, oiiuweu a siignuy ainering Kreisler, Kreisler whose soul had explanded and who had caught more of the vision of that super music which men aream or but never hear. The program, was made up of tha Mendelssohn Concerto, the Rach Suite, Tortini's "Indian Lament," Franz Schubert' ballet music from "Rosamunde," the Dawes "Melody" and two compositions by the virtuoso himself, "Two Old, Vienna Valses" and "Caprlct Viennois." This was the set pra gram. By reason of encores "Song of India," Chaminade's "Spanish Serenade" and "Tho Old Refrain" were added, together with a repetition of tho Dawes "Melody," ths presentation of which had been so compelling that Kreisler played it again.

It seemed throughout "the entira recital any note Kreisler made sang out as though answering a master, so completely did he overwhelm his scores in the grandeur of his offerings. Did he draw his bow lightly to lure a thread like tone it seemed to tinkle like refiner's gold. The greatest tribute paid him was at the close of the program when the audience wouia not De denied hearing hint again. Carl Lamson proved himself an artist as the accompanist, First Church of God Revival Attracts Crowds The evangelistic services being conducted by. the Rev.
