TOTAL ASKINGS 75 MILES Boards of township supervisors are visiting the county commissioners these days to discuss the possibilities of securing aid from the county in the construction of roads during 1929.

Under the ruling of the county commissioners it is necessary for the boards of supervisors to file all applications with the commissioners before December 15. In addition to this it is necessary that the township shall have also filed application for state reward and to have a working agreement with the state, before the commissioners will give county aid in township road construction. Applications have been received from 22 townships for'county aid during 1929, and yesterday the supervisors from Crosscreek town-k ship visited the commissioners to discuss their applications on three different road projects totaling eight miles. Yesterday the supervisors of both West Pike Run township and Centerville borough called on the commissioners. They are jointly interested in a two-mile road from the end of the county cement road at the William Deems farm to the National pike by way of Richeyville.

The county commissioners in the home The tractor Harrisburg, Jan. 10 (INS) Salary increases for the governor and several members of his cabinet, judges of all state courts, and numerous county officials was suggested in a preliminary report of the Pennsylvania Salary Survey Commission issued here today. The report also recommended creation of salary hoards in every county and suggested repeal of several statutes now dealing with i salaries. A more complete report will be issued within a few weeks for consideration of the General Assembly. The principle of "home rule in salary affairs" was the keynote of the findings of the commission which was composed of Clinton Rogers Woodruff, Philadelphia, chairman; Senator A.

J. Sordoni, Luzerne county, Senator Frank Baldwin, Potter; Representative Morris Witkin, Philadelphia, and Representative Helen Grimes, Allegheny, secretary. Under the plan suggested by the commission, the salary board in each county would be composed of the county commissioners and the county controller and in counties where there was no controller, the county treasurer would be a member. The fifth member of the board would be the head of the department in which salaries or the employment of additional subordinates is under consideration. The commission also recommended that the Legislature no longer be allowed to fix salaries or decide the complement of offices which have a purely local jurisdiction.

In speaking of the old system. Woodruff said "Log rolling has becnthe result and that is what the commission wishes to get away from. Members voted for bills out of courtesy to other members, and expected the same courtesies in return. This waS a perfectly natural development. The commission's recommendation will eliminate rather than add to political considerations in salary fixing." The commission favors increasing the governor's salary from to $20,000 a year and would raise the attorney general and su-pevintendent of public instruction to $15,000 a year, making the minimum salary of other members of the cabinet $10,000.

Judges of the supreme and superior courts and the courts of common pleas of the first, second and third class counties would be given an increase of $2,000 a year while in other counties judges would receive an increase of $1,000. Judges of the county court of Pittsburgh and the Municipal t.ourt of phlla. delphia would be raised to $11,000 tior vnnr The tommission.s schedule of salaries for counties follows: First class county Sheriff, prothonotary, and district at' torney, clerk of courts, treasurer, and recorder of deeds, $10,000: county commissioners, controller, and coroner, register of wills, $5,000.

Reh-meyer, the commonwealth of Pennsylvania today prepared to immediately bring the second of the three co-defendants, John Curry, a fourteen year old boy. to trial. Curry was scheduled to appear in court this morning when that matter will be settled. Blymyer, undismayed by the verdict of the jury, ate a hearty breakfast in the York county jail and calmly awaited the hour when he will be taken to the eastern penitentiary at Philadelphia to serve his sentence. "I think the jury was a little hard on me," Blymyer told this writer.

"I don't see why they gave me life. I am going to make the best of it, though. There is nothing else to do. I feel all right, I am no longer hexed 'by Rehmeyer, and that's something to be thankful for." The superstitious, witch-believ ing Blymyer had presented in court one of the most remarkable defenses for murder in modern times. On the witness stand in his own, behalf he calmly confessed that lie, Curry, and.WU-bert Hess, had slain Rehmeyer, whom they believed was a "witch" who had cast an evil spell over them.

Moreover, Blymyer declared he firmly believed, and still believes, that he did "the right thing" in killing the aged farmer recluse. RIVER WALLS FOR PITTSBURGH Pittsburgh is preparing to build three and one-half miles of river walls along the down town and Northside wharves, E. K. Morse, consulting engineer, declared Tuesday night. He also forecast the providing of facilities to handle "an immense additional river freight tonnage.

That a report, soon to be submitted to the mayor and council in Pittsburgh by Charles M. Rep-pert, chief engineer of the public work9 department, will favorably and strongly recommend the long-debated river walls, as well as installation of modern and adequate river-rail loading facilities, was indicated by Morse. He addressed more than 100 engineers at the annual meeting of the civil section, Engineers' Society of Western Pennsylvania, in the William Penn HoteU Pittsburgh. BAIL FOB COURT Following a hearing before Alderman Thomas Ward, here, yesterday afternoon, George Russel, aged about 25 years, of near Finleyville, was held for court under $500 bil, on a charge of driving while under the influence of liquor. He was released upon posting bond.

Rnssel's arrest followed an accident on the Ffnleyville-Library road, near Mineral Beach, Tuesday, in which a Chrysler sedan, belonging to Rev. P. J. Straka, of Donora, was struck by a Ford coupe, operated by Russel, who was returning to his home from work at Montour No. 10.

Both cars were practically demolished, authorities say. After the accident, Russel went to his home, about 500 yards from the scene of (Tie crash, where lie got into bed, it is said. He was taken from his bed by State Highway Patrolman C. E. Alexander, who conducted an inquiry Into the accident, and was brought to the local jail where he was examined by a physician who pronounced him under the' influence of liquor.

He was held In the local jail pending the arrest. The daily report of Health Officer John C. Hiscox for yesterday showed a slight increase in the nunVber of influenza cases in this city.

With a lower temperature, near freezing, forecast for the day, it is believed that the disease will again recede. M'KEESPORT Classes were resumed in full yesterday at the new McKeesport Terminal high school, Cornell and Beatty streets, McKeesport, where fire, starting in a cloak-room in the sub-basement did $4,000 damage Tuesday. With no disorder, 2,444 pupils were marched from the building by the 85 teachers when the alarm was sounded at 9:45 Tuesday morning. Teachers and pupils were highly complimented on this display of coolness and discipline. The fire was confined to the cloak room, but the wraps of more than 500 students were burned, These students hurried home be cause of the near-zero temperature prevailing.

Heavy damage by water occurred, and in this way the hardwood floor of the school's gymnasium was ruined. Smoke filled the corridors and some of the rooms in the upper part of the four-story brick structure. Frantic mothers of pupils surrounded the building as news of the fire swept through the city, but their fears were calmed as a checkup indicated all had escaped uninjured. Firemen and policemen assisted in restoring quiet to the scene. Whether matches in some of the wraps in the cloak-room had started the blaze, or whether it was due to crossed electric wires, had not been determined last night.

His visitors fairly tread on each other's heels as they pass, endless chain fashion, in and out of his big suite at the Mayflower hotel. The stock question asked all visitors as they emerge from the President-elect's office, which is buried deep in the centre of his twelve-room lay-out, is: "And what did he say?"

Subscribers of the Pittsburgh Press in Monongahela and other towns in this section of the Monongahela valley, will not receive the paper through the regular delivery channels this evening as the result of the decision of valley newsdealers today not to accept the paper for distribution unfit such time as a recent demand of the publishers for separate carriers for the paper is rescinded, icy providing Glstrroution of the pa-Circulation heads of the Press recently advised newsdealers that they desired the adoption of a pol-per apart from other evening publications. Following a meeting of the Newsdealers Association of AVestern Pennsylvania in the Seventh Avenue Hotel, Pittsburgh, last evening, Joseph Franks, of this city; George Might, of Charleroi; James F. Taylor, of Monessen and Kari Schempp, of Donora, and other valley newsdealers got together and decided that they could not abide by this ruling, which would necessitate the hiring of an extra carrier force.

Newsdealers of Monongahela, Charleroi, Monessen, and Donora, Black Diamond, Roscoe, California, Bentleyville, Belle Vernon, Allen-port and Stockdale today notified publishers of the Press that they could not accept the papers tor distribution until the conditions were withdrawn. The agents are not antagonistic or mercenary in their stand which they believe to be just and fair to all concerned. They point out that under the policy which the Pittsburgh Press would put into effect, it would be necessary to add an additional force of carriers which would cause inconvenience to them and to subscribers to the various evening papers. The present situation is be lieved to be an outgrowth ot a vigorous campaign which the two Pittsburgh evening papers, the Sun-Telegraph and the Press, have waged for some time for the larger circulation. Some of the moves made by the Press in their special campaigns for increased circulation are said to have caused local dealers considerable inconvenience.

One of the campaign features included the sending out of special newsboys, known in slang parlance, as These newsies sold independent of the local dealers, and their appearance in the valley some time ago. caused newsdealers to suspend the agencies for one day at that time. A Washington, newsdealer recently took similar action. as is now contemplated by valley newsdealers. Inquiry to the circulation department of the Pittsburgh Press today revealed that such an order was recently issued, but it was said, it was in the form of a request and not mandatory and that no action would be taken.

The department also declared that efforts would be made to have the papers delivered to the regular subscribers. The order was issued to valley dealers on Tuesday. The forR'wing notice was delivered to his customers today by Joseph Franks, local newsdealer. To All Our Newspaper Customers: After years of faithful service by us and our predecessors to all Pittsburgh papers, the Pittsburgh Press, by methods very unfair, have made it impossible for us to continue our agency without any consideration for the investment we have, or for services performed in the past. They will not allow us to deliver a Daily Republican or Sun Telegraph along with the Press, in other words our newsboys cannot sell or deliver both papers.

This is very unjust and unfair and we have decided to fight for our newsboys rights. Do not be misled by statements circulated by The Press. Our record should refifte any false charges. Your support in this fight for justice and fair play is earnestly solicited and any livelihood of any agent of theirs without a just reason or compensation for his investment, does not merit the support of an intelligent people. We only ask fairness and we ask your support in this fight for justice.

We will deliver you a Sun-Telegraph in place of the Press in the evening and on Sunday. We also have the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette for delivery in the mornings. Justice is on our side and justice must survive. Yours very truly, FRANKS NEWS STAND, Joseph Franks, Proprietor.

OF Canton, Jan. 10 (INSt Still somewhat dazed by the sensational events that he has figured in during the last 48 hours, "Eddie" Kaltenbaugh, 21, confessed slayer of Mr. and Mrs. John Oser, was held in the county jail here today, awaiting grand jury action. "Eddie" is confident that he'll go to the electric chair.

He grins as he relates how he shot Oser, with Oser's own rifle, last Saturday night. Oser had hired Kaltenbaugh as a farmhand to work on the Oser dairy farm near Canal Fulton. Kaltenbaugh, whose home is in Grove City, had been wandering about in Eastern Ohio and Pennsylvania, he relates, -eeklng employment. His desire to use their automobile to impress his girl, in New Castle, led him to kill Mr. and Mrs.

Oser, the youth says. After shooting Oser, he also shot Mrs. Oser, dragged her body from the house, beat her head with rocks and left it near the garage, according to Kaltenbaugh's signed statement. The case will probably be presented to the grand jury, which is now in session here, the first of next week. The court battle will be fought out, almost certainly, on the issue of Kaltenbaugh's sanity, according to Prosecutor Harter.

"I feel awfully" bad about it." Kaltenbaugh said, sitting in his cell, grinning. "I suppose I'll get the electric chair, wanted an automobile and it came over me all of a sudden that that was the way to get it. The little boy was asleep, so I didn't do anything to him. C. E.
