While this work was in progress accountants and photographers du ting under direction of Auditor General Lewis made examinations and photographs of records of banks in Philadelphia and Carlisle for the use of Justice Fox. Other men will Pittsburgh to-morrow for similar work. Mr.

Lewis is also 10 having accountants gather other data here so that the foundation work of the investigation is in full swing. Deputy Attorney General George Ross Hull, acting under direction 01 the general and accompanied accountant, made an attorney, examination of the whole system of handling funds and keeping DOORS in the treasury. Mr. Alter, who was in Pittsburgh last night and early to-day was in communication with Justice Fox by long distance telephone regarding the matters developed at the collference of the justice and Mr. Lewis yesterday and on Monday when re will be in Berks, Schuykill and Northhampton counties, will go to Easton for further consultation with the Justice.

Auditor General Lewis said he could not say when the next section would be made public. "It will be given out as soon as received and digested; that is all I can say about it. Yes, there will be more." When accountants of the bondsman of Mr. Kephart reached here today they found Mr. Kephart was in Fayette county and left to return Wednesday to begin the audit requested by him.

Nothing has been announced whether the banking department experts will participate. The line of inquiry to be pursued by Justice Fox will not develop for some time, it is believed here, but from the amount of data being prepared it will create a wide field. Third section of the report issued last night was sent to Justnce Fox for his and Mr. Lewis said he would any perusal, data relative to it desired. Harrisburg, May 12-Harmon M.

we Kephart, former State treasurer, today issued a statement denying that there had been any irregularities in the department during his term of office and asserting that every dollar was accounted for. Mr. Kephart attacks the policy of Auditor General Lewis in issuing sections of the report of certified public accountants who audited the treasury books for his term. In the statement he says: "Why don't the people who are making all the fuss about my administration as State treasurer come out and tell the truth about it? right Why are they trying to fool the peowith accountants reports and deple 131 LIGHT HEAT R.

George E. Alter believes in the party system and believes now, as he always has believed, that the Republican Party is the agency through which the best results of Government can be obtained in Pennsylvania. "As a Republican he was elected to the Legislature of Pennsylvania and in 1913 elected Speaker of the House of Representatives. "George E. Alter is a lawyer of high standing and pre-eminent ability.

The members of the Bar of Allegheny County, where ha has practised since his admission to the bel without respect to political affiliations have endorsed him as a Candidate for Governor. "His reputation is not confined to Allegheny County. There lawof standing in Pennsylvania who yer is not familiar with his work as a member of the Commission to codify the laws relating to decedents. "Today he is Attorney General of Pennsylvania, a position held by many men of great ability--none of whom surpassed him in legal equipment. "George E.

Alter is a Banker and a business man. He has been connected with some of the large business enterprises of Pittsburgh. "He is a Christian gentleman, et consistant Church member and his family life is the ideal American one. "Mr. Alter has been criticised because one of his principal sponsors is Governor Wm.

C. Sproul, a native born Lancaster Countian. It seems to be popular in certain quarters to base opposition to Mr. Alter upon criticism of the Sproul Administration; I make no apologies for Governor Sproul's Administraion and make the prediction that when the smoke of political battles has cleared away and it is viewed in the calm light of retrospection, the Sproul Administration will be found to contain more real achievements of benfit to the people of the State than those of most of his predecessors. "Nor do I apologize for the manner of General Alter's selection as a Candidate to run in the primaries for the Gubernatorial nomination.

Our friends, the Democrats, delegates to a Committee of Seventy-two the task of selecting Candidates for all State Offices. "Gifford, Pinchot had a call to run from a. hand-picked committee. And General Alter wag induced to run by friends and men of standing in the Commonwealth, Republicans, who desired to have enter the lists one who has all the qualifications to be Governor; fitted by birth, training, education, environment, knowledge of Pennsylvania and her institutions and experience in public affairs for the duties of the high office. And in this connection I say the withdrawal of Lieutenant Governor Beidleman and Chairman of the Workmen's Compensation Board, Mackey, in favor of Alter was just as patriotic as the withdrawal of Banking Commissioner Fisher in favor of Pinchot.

"Lancaster county has long been known as the "Old Guard" of Republicanism there still within its border many Republicans who believe in the principles of the party as enunciated by Lincoln and Grant and Garfield and McKinley and have no time for party wreckers. "Republicans of Lancaster county, as former Chief Justice J. Hay Brown well says, it is a privilege to vote for George E. Alter. Vote for George E.

Alter because he is a Pennsylvanian. "Because he is safe and sane. "Because he is lawyer of ability. "Because is business man. a "Because he is progressive and proficient.

"Because he has had a large experience in public affairs. "Because he knows Pennsylvania her institutions and the needs of her people. "Because he is Republican." City Churches FAITH Faith Reformed Church, South Duke and Green street, Rev. D. G.

RURAL MAIL CARRIERS INTERESTED IN IMPROVING SERVICE TO PATRONS Rural mall carriers have brought the United States and the World to the door of every farmer in Lancaster county. Believing that an exchange of Ideas on the betterment of the system is one of the most practical ways to improve it, the NEWS JOURNAL A is with the carriers in the publication of letters from men who have served their respective communities during a long and honorable career. Harry R. Ludwig, rural mail carrier Route 2 from Stevens, traces the growth of the rural delivery system during the sixteen years in which he has been member of it.

He a makes pertinent suggestions for the mutual benefit of carriers and patrons In the following Stevens, Pm, May 10, 1922. To the Editor of The News Journal. Just a few days more, or until June 1st, 1922, and I will have served "Uncle Sam" as Rural Letter Carrier No. 2 from Stevens, for sixteen 1 years. When I accepted this position, Rural Delivery was practically in its infancy.

I well remember my first trip when I only had 14 pieces of mail to serve 70 families: Now I average over 300 pleces dally and serve 171 families. This shows the wonderful strides Rural Delivery has made during this time. The Post Office Department has instituted many improvements in the Rural Service for the advantage and benefit of the Rural Patron. One of these is the Parcel Post. This gives the Rural Patron the opportunity to buy and have delivered to his home many articles which he needs.

He also has the opportunity to sell and have delivered his food products, such as butter, eggs, dressed poultry, vegetables, to the consumer in the city, fresh and prompt at a small expense. Another 1s, the allowance of Rural Carriers to use automobiles to serve their routes, bringing the dally paper, etc. to the majority of farmers by noon, enlightening them early of market prices and other new9 1n which they are interested. The rural patron has the advantage over all served by the Post Office Department, because a Post Office on wheels comes to his home, daily, except holidays, gratis. Other Improvements in the Rural Service have been accomplished.

And still more could be put into practice. For this the Department selected the first week in May a8 "Postal Improvement Week." The main' purpose of this was to impress Postal Employees and Patrons of the mail service how each moy assist in expediting the delivery and dispatch of mail. As a Rural Carrier I therefore desire to give my views as to further Improving the Rural Service. Department should issue a compulsory order compelling all Rural Patrons to stamp all first class mail deposited in mail boxes. This would overcome greatly the handling of pennies which delays the carrier and causes him to delay the mail to the Patrons on the last half of his route who are just as anxious for their mail as those on the first half.

This would not inconvenience the Rural Patron, as the Carrier is carrying stamps and stamped envelopes for sale daily, Gives Substitute Preference. It should give a Substitute Carrier the preference for appointment as regular Carrier when there 1g an opening, providing he is physically SCHOOL LOAN (Continued From Page One). All the information that can be gained regarding the needs of the local schools emphasizes that the needs of funds is imperative. "Lancaster pupils per teacher on the average. The city had four hundred pupils on half time during the past year.

There is a crowded condition in the Girls' High School, and within a couple of years the Boys' High Schol will have reached its capacity unless relief is forthcoming. "There are four buildings of the four room type, and these are very old, costly of operation, poorly a lighted, and inadequate for modern school purposes. A number of the school buildings are not fire prof, and their sanitary and heating equipment is inadequate. "Several of the four room buildings could be abandoned following the construction of Junior High School buildings, and the heating and janitor service of three of these would offset these items for maintaining one large building. "The construction of two suitable Junior High School buildings would release school space in the elementary school buildings to allow full time classes and adequate education for children of working people who may be compelled to leave school after arriving at the age of sixteen.

To allow a child but ten years of schooling and deprive that child of full time instruction for two or three years is unjust, and good citizenship could not condone the curtailment of an elementary education. It is the elementary training that determines the future of the child. "Lancaster is proud of its wonderful natural surroundings; of its industrial and agricultural rank; of its patriotic record in all times of national travail, but shall Lancaster continue a just pride in its public schols unless they are properly maintained and modernized. industrial workers of Lancaster are nationally recognized as splendid mechanics with a high degree of efficiency. "Their children will soon become successors in the shops, factories, and business offices, and those children will have to compete with the practically trained and skilled workers of other cities.

The Junior High schools established in other aities are preparing the children of the workers of toray; those children are to be the NATION'S PROSPERITY DEPENDS ON IMPORTS Business Success Enhanced by Large Number of Exports and Imports GERMANY LOSING GROUND and mentally able. This would bring good men in the service and better service when the Substitute is on duty. It should pension a Rural Carrier when he has rendered 20 years of faithful service. This would be a goal to work for, and would ancourage him to give the best of Mis life to serve his Patrons faithfully, enduring all conditions of weather and roads. A Rural Carrier should have exemplary habits and appearance, and be courteous.

He should serve his Patrons promptly, cheerfully and impartially, know the Postal Regulations well and perform his work according. He should have foremost in his mind at all times that he should perform his work a8 though he was the employer in business. Patrons Can Assist. The Rural Patron receiving such wonderful service from the Department can in return greatly assist to improve the Rural Service by helping the Carrier all he possibly can. They should see that roads are kept in good passable condition, and are quickly opened to traffic after storm.

They should always see that the approach to their mall box is in good condition. Ruts to boxes should be repaired. The box should have the right height from the ground, so that the Carrier can easily see in from his vehicle. This will help to make their home more attractive and a more valuable. A Patron should have the mail box nicely painted, and neatly lettered.

A. Rural like this description would be a wonderful improvement. Rural Patron, do your part. You should stamp all first class mail and when money is placed in box for stamps, it should be placed in a receptacle. When a Carrier has to pick loose coin out of a box it greatly delays him and so much more during the winter when he is wearing gloves.

Any Patron that delays his Carrier by neglecting to comply with these suggestions is delaying the mail to his next neighbor. If we do this we are helping to improve the service. Let us, therefore, as the Department, Postmasters, Rural Carriers and Rural Patrons cooperate and do our utmost to improve the Rural Service to a higher standard. HARRY R. LUDWIG R.

HARRY R. LUDWIG workers of another year. The thoughtful father in Lancaster to-day wants his his girl to have a practical education and the business man who can afford send his son away to school or college should want that boy to receive an effective elementary education in Lancaster. "This school question is one of great moment and vital to the welfare of every citizen of SCANT HOPE FOR A RUSSIAN SOLUTION (Continued From Page One). investigation by an international committee without Rusians sitting theron; yet to-night a French spokesman said that France would not oppose the presence of Russians.

This question will be ironed out to-morrow when the subcommission on Russian affairs meet to consider the Russian reply. Should an attempt be made to drop the Russians from the mixed commission which they themselves proposed, it is believed it will seriously endanger the chances of success of a preliminary truce, as the Russians will not adhere to this in such circumstances. The Italian leaders declared to-night that if the conference, as anticipated, proves to be the introductory sep to the settlement of the Russian problem and the general reconstruction of Europe it will have achieved its purpose and justified its existence. Soviet Russia by its attitude, in the opinion of the Italians, had lost a golden opportunity at Genoa, but the Genoa conference will create the machinery to save Russia and Europe. Everybody to-night seems determined not to leave this city until something constructive has been accomplished to prepare the way for a solution of Europe's troubles, because failure and disunion among the powers would only render the general situation perilous.

M. Tchitcherin left Genoa early this afternoon carrying the truce project to Santa Margherita, where the full Russian delegation took it under consideration. Philadelphia, May that the prosperity of the country depends in part upon its imports, Dr. Walter Lichenstein, executive secretary of the First National Bank of Chicago told the Ninth National Foreign Trade Convention to-day that to "have large exports there must be correspondingly large imports, and that with the increase of both our prosperity will be He also opposed demanding full payment of the allied debt. "Experts are necessary for the prosperity of the said Dr.

Lichenstein, "unless, indeed, we are willing to face an indeterminate period during which we should suffer stagnation, social and political upheaval. Ultimately we can be paid for our exports only by receiving imports from foreign countries. I think that if we look far enough ahead, the danger of 'dumping' (of foreign goods on American markets) is very much exaggerated. "If, however, we wish really to increase the danger of competition in our markets, all that will be necessary for us to do is to insist upon full payment of the debts due us from our late allies. When we require payments this kind the effect is the same as an over-stimulation of our imports and a checking of our exports, for the payment of these huge means the exportation of foreign goods to us in enormous quantities, that being the only way in which these payments can be made.

"It we have permanently a very high protective tariff, which will check imports into this country to a marked degree, and our exports go on as did during the last years of the and immediately following, they, then we shall have an influx of gold winch will increase ultimately our currency and thus in the final analysis affect our prices and prevent the exportation of our goods. In a sense exactly what been taking Asserting that there is no special advantage in being a creditor nation. Dr. Lichenstein said, "We have still vast undeveloped tracts here at home, and it will be a long time before it 1s likely that we shall receive much greater returns from foreign investments than we do from domestic Declaring that agricultural prices and profits influenced by the forelgn market, that during last renin fiscal year about thirty-seven percent of the wheat crop was exported, and In 1920 about forty-two percent of the cotton crop, Dr. Lichenstein said: last census would indicate that somewhere between forty and fortyfive percent of the people of the United States are still engaged directly and indirectly in agricultural production.

Senator Hitchcock insisted that the committee had failed to give Senate information about the rates and, in reply to charges of Democratic delay, he demanded to know excuse the finance committee could give for keeping the bill in committee from last July 22 to April 10. He said the time was not taken with hearings, but largely with up "secret meetings of the Republican members of the committee."
