Lit HI SAYS HOSPITALS HAVE MORE MONEY DESPITE SLASHES Dr. Potter in Statement Asserts They Had Larger Sums Than Ever Honolulu of Pennsylvania reeclv ing Stulo appropriations, but mun agud by iholr own boards, had more money for their maintenance during thun ever before, according to i statement Issued to day by Dr. fcl Icn C.

1'ottt r. secretary of the Department of Welfare. Tho stute inent reviewed tho condition of the iimtitntiniiH ihirlnir tho year JuKt closed uiul wave us the amount of money at disposal or. me hospitals for tho twelve month. A considerable part of this new resource was 'he following out of better method of collection for services rendered.

In 1323 they had Dr. Potter1 statement says: I "There nmieurs to be some mis understanding uh to the elTect or tne ruts In State nimronrlntlon made to l.rlvate charity In 1923 and tills is unrticiilnrlv true in relation to hos ultals. 1 think the public has a right to know Hie fact and I am, there fore, makltix thin statement. "We have studied with care the pworn statements of the hospitals as they have eotno in since June 1 and ve have compared these reports with those of the same idcnttr.il hospitals for tho last four ynar. which means that three different appropriation tperiods have Keen studied.

"Here are the tacts These hospitals in spite of the cut in State ap propriation have actually had mucn more money to operate on than in the preceding years. They have had $923, T5S more than they had in the year ending May 31, 1923, and 1. 18.000 more than in 1921 which was the year In which the State made the largest appropriations. "Therefore, these hospitals have been much better oft than they were when larger appropriations from the State were made to them. "How does this happen? Because the hospitals in connection with the new method of social service credit investigation have made better col lctions from persons able to pay and because local communities have recognized more clearly their responsibility for contributing to the leeds of their local hospitals.

"This Is In line with Pennsylvania best traditions which since Colonial times has placed the legal responsibility for the care of the needy on the poor boards, county commission crs and private philanthropy. "The following table will make clear the financial situation of the 125 Identical hospitals studied. In crder to make a true comparisonthe appropriation for each biennial pe 'rlod has been divided Jn half, other wise the 1924 income would be much larger than It now in.

All those who can atioru to pay we insist ought to pay for we do not believe in pauperizing the American family and we do not believe the taxpayer ought to be made to suffer from excessive taxation. "There Is another iletn on which there Is much miumleretanding, that Is in regard to the fact that many hospitals have exhausted their appropriation with the' first twelve months. "One would think that this pre sented an entirely new situation when ns a matter of fact there has never been a year when 11 ny hospital, except a politically favored Institution, would not have exhausted Its impropriation If it had been permit ted to draw on it as ruidilly as it could show a deficit. In former years a hospital was never permit ted to draw more than one quarter of its allowance at any one quarterly period. This year In accordance with the ruling of the Auditor General they were permitted to receive payment as rnplJly as they could show that they earned the money.

or the hospitals run on pood business lines have deposited the funds received from the State In excess of quarterly payment and so have this money 111 reserve to go on for the last year of the biennlum. The Department of v. eiv.re feels very much gratified at the Improved financial condition or tn tinmutals under the per diem rate! of compensation and the sochil servlce credit investigation nnd the testimony we have received from the hound lct in dicates that they approve of the method and the system of cost ac counting which has made for sound huslncss methods."

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE STUDIES FREIGHT RATESAT MEETING President Marshall H. Dean, nf the Harrlsburg Chamber of Commerce, this morning said that he would shortly name a special com mittee whose duty would be de termine how far Harrlsburg would be affected in the proposed revision or freight rates on a nileage basis. Shippers and receivers met in the Chamber yesterday afternoon when such action was decided upon.

Representatives of the carriers pointed out that the Interstate Commerce Commission suggested that the railroads present a formula for the readjustment of rates and the mileage plan will go before the Commission beginning February 4. The present rates are built up from many different angles and the new proposal seeks to eliminate discrepancies. The biggest question before both shippers und carriers in fifty years Is what O. II. Cobb, division freight agent of the Pennsylvania, styles It.

Peter G. Zimmerman and Joseph S. Klinedlst, of the Reading, echoed this thought. Harry J. Newton, of the traffic service bureau, wild that the changes will help steel plants on incoming carloads, but that us most merchandise moves irr the first few classes on less than carload business, it would be called upon to pay higher rates.

He said the Philadelphia rate first class goes up nine cents and the Bostaii rate twenty eight and one half cents. Mr. Kline dist saidj that on a 100 pound pack age to Philadelphia, the Reading loses money. E. M.

Israel felt that a committee should ascertain how far the proposal would affect Harrlsburg. and on his motion President Dean was authorized to name the com mittee.

This was reported as done because printing of hunter license tags involving 33,456.37 of done because printing of hunters' Kuhn but to a Baltimore concern and on strength of various contentions an to others.

Mr. Swartz took an appeal to the Dauphin county court November 17, from the decision of the Auditor General on the J36.000 refused and on some $6,000 covered In the award. Since that time he has been endeavoring to collect the difference and rejected the checks for the fragmentary $379. The Attorney General practically admitted the claim by not appealing within the Unit specified. It also turned up to day that December 23.

Mr. Lewis asked the Attorney General as to the process to be followed in drawing papers for payment, but Judge Woodruff holding that the Issues were covered in the Plcclrllll case about to be argued soon ufter, declined for the time to give advice, as he had 'determined to wait for the ruling of the Appellate Court. there the matter stands.

MUSCLE SHOALS BILL TO BE REVAMPED FOR FINAL CONSIDERATION Washington, Jan. 15. The Muscle Shoals problem was. back today in the House, where the four year old fight over disposition of the property started. It was returned by the Senate tn the form of the Underwood private leasing bill adopted as a substitute for the House measure proposing lease to Henry Ford.

Whether this measure will be sent direct to conference' between the two houses or will be referred to the Military Committee is the first question the House must determine. Objection by a single member would serve at least to delay the sending of it to conference. Supporters of the Underwood bill would make every effort to get It before managers on the part of the two houses in the hope that some sort of legislation finally disposing of the question will be enacted at this session. Opponents want to have it re ferred to a committee on the belief that this step would result In the master i going over" for disposition by the new Congress. Should the ''legislation be referred to conference, It Is generally believed It will be rewritten in large measure conform to the views of President Coolidge as outlined in his annual message to Congress last December.

He proposed either sale or lease and as a last alternative Government operation.

Another body was washed oat into the main ewer and disappeared before could be recovered. Just how many more bodies may have been dumped Into the sewer Is a matter on wlilcli police authorities Investigating th ease were speculating to day. The discovery was made by a plumber who had been called to the place to unstop the sewer pipe hich had become clogged, causing water to overflow and flood the premises. Ont body was taken out lit Zo'clock in the artornoon, and wncn Coroner Whitfield was summoned to view It, he directed that It sent to Iho city home to be burled. Two hours later he was called back to the place to view two other bodies that had been uncovered In the pipe.

These were also dispatched to the city home. The plumber began searching for bodies. and was on the point of pulling another from the pipe when it slipped sway from him and disappeared Into the main drainage pipe In the street. Tenants Dear Kaawledsr The three bodies recovered those of babies, apparently ranging from five to seven months, according to Coroner Whitfield. In his opinion they had been In the sewer for two or three weeks.

In his effort to unstop the pipe, the plumber found It necessary to dig Into the ground In the yard and to cut a hole In it. He was assigned to the job by a real estate agent, handling the property, to whom report of unsanitary conditions of the premises had been made. Occupants of the house, a small frame affair, denied to the police that they had any knowledge as to how the bodies of the babies got Into the sewer. They consisted of two women of middle age, anj elderly man and a child of 10. They have been on the premises for the last two years.
