Increased Runntng Expenses. "They said they would practice economy in government, yet, as a matter of fact, eliminating all appropriations and expenses due solely to war, they have Increased the operating expense of every department of the government. Comparing the expenditures of 1915, three years before the war, with the budget of 1923, three years after-the war, the Republican Congress has increased the running expenses of the government over a half 'million dollars. In addition to that there is an estimated deficit of a half million dollars more, which would make a net Increase of over a million dollars.

"The Republican administration has still a long, long way to go before it can prove to the country that it has brought the governmental expenditures 'back to normalcy," according to the figures announced recently by the Civil Service Commission." The Democratic Congressional candidate touched upon the Newberry incident, and the excuses of Republican leaders who brought- about Newberry's seating. He said: The Newberry Case "The Republican Senate has reflected upon the integrity and self-respect of every true American, who is proud of his country and its venerable institutions and principles, when by a party vote, it seated Senator Truman H. Newberry, of Michigan, in a purchased seat. "All of us have boasted of the fact that ability and accomplishments were the only requirements for an American to gain the toga of a Senator; but our Republican friends have uprooted such doctrine and have sponsored and condoned the despicable practice of bartering and auctioning off to the highest bidder a place of honor In the United States Senate. "Such actions rock the very foundations of our great American Government and if repeated will shatter that magnificent structure, which years of cautious actions have erected."

Harry Baker, State chairman; Attorney General Alter, who was here; James Deshong, John Barr and the rest who fill seats at any Republican gathering. Not a State official, with one exception, turned out. The exception was Clifford B. Con-nelley, Commissioner of Labor ahd Industry, who was especially opposed to PInchot at the primaries, but was much in evidence in the handshaking bout when the candidate's big car put in at the hotel. Connelley, according to Capitol rumor, Is scheduled to go to Pittsburgh, his home, permanently in January.

Chairman Horner There Among the, organization men. present were W. H. Horner, county chairman, who had never met the candidate; Judge William M. Hargest and a few clerks from Capitol Hill.

The Pinchot committee made up the rest of the attendance at the reception. Michael E. Stroup, chairman; Mrs. James L. Chamberlain, women's chairman; William S.

Tunis, Dr. George Edward Reed, a large delegation from Upper Dauphin, and many from this city. The absence of the organization men was noticed by Pinchot but not explained by jlorner. The county chairman was taken out to the car of the candidate as it arrived, by Stroup, who introduced Horner. In the lounge room Stroup stood next to the candidate and introduced the line of hand-claspers.

He knew most of those present. Horner knew three or four and introduced them as "Mr. Hoozis" to the candidate, who probably believed he had met the whole Hoozis family by the time the cohnty chairman's mumbled introductions were over. Horner looked as if he wished the thing were through from the start. She Heckles Pinchot Miss Elizabeth Kobler.

one of the women in the room, when she met Pinchot, said that she had something she wanted-to say to him. "Mr. Pinchot, I understand you are working with the Capitol Hill gang, and that you are being bossed," she said. "I stand for the same things now that I did before the primaries," Pinchot told her with much dignity. "You can depend on me.

I have only had one boss In my life, and that is my wife." A delegation of Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen shook hands with the candidate and discussed matters in a corner for a few moments, and then the twin chairmen had a talk with him. He left this morning for Chambersburg and vicinity. Camp followers of Pinchot were not enthusiastic about the success of his campaign which is falling flat, according to all accounts.

The dead ldy of liobert IcLonn, a master carpenter, dangling from a rope fnstcned to tho steel framework of the old Juniata bridge, was found at 5.30 o'clock his morning by coal dredgers going to their work on the Susquehanna River. Broken in health and no longer able to work because of his tubercular condition, the skilled mechanic taught a lot in the cemetery here, paid for digging his own grave and provided the; money for the undertaker.

He had been employed on tills bridge Job until his health compelled him to. retire about three weeks ago when he weighed less than 100 pounds. The contractors say he was a master, workman. A note left by McLeaft directed that his body be given a simple burial.

Perry County doesn't have a coroner because, some say, no one will take the poor-paying Job; hence a local made a statement before a local Justice Of the peace regarding the finding of the body and this sworn statement will be forwarded to District Attorney James McKeen, at New Bloomfield. McLean was a married man and formerly lived in Davenport, Iowa. It is not known here whether his wife is living, but a daughter Mildred, is employed on the Davenport Times, and there is a married daughter In Pleasant Valley, Iowa.

Coal Operators Book Orders for Box Cars Requests for box cars for the shipment of coal mined in the vicinity of Haileton has disclosed the fact that the collieries around that community are booked with large orders for shipment into the western section of the State as soon as mining activities are resumed.

The request for Tox cars was prompted by a desire on the part of the operators to protect the coal from theft while on the way to its destination. Experience has shown that on long hauls the fuel in open cars Is depleted by theft by the time it reaches the purchaser. Railroad officials in the vicinity of Hazleton are having all their coal hauling equipment- overhauled and put into condition for the rush of coal that Is expected with a resumption of coal production.

R. Shuer, of 858 Bosler street; Lemoyne, and H. T. Baker, of 650 Cumberland street, this city, both employes at Pennsylvania Railroad roundhouse No. 2, are back In Harrisburg and vishing they were about to make the trip again.

The two roundhouse men left this city on July 1, starting from the Pennsylvania Railroad Y. M. C. A. on lieily street.

They had decided a tour of their country would be not only a fine way to spend a vacation but an equally good way to acquire a vast fund of knowledge concerning the United States. They planned their trip accordingly and as a result visited practically every spot of great interest between here and he coast, Yellowstone Park not excepted. When their fellow workers at the roundhouse were complaining of the heat last July, Shuer and Baker were throwing snowballs at each out on Pike's Peak. The two men carried a full camping equipment and only rarely ate In restaurants. They slept out every night of the trip In a special tent they carried and both are now In excellent health.

Phuer and Baker drove 'as far as Vancouver, B. and then they turned back. The trip to and from Vancouver required 800 gallons of gasoline but only one set of tires. Needless-to say these were punctured frequently. Scores of rolls of camera films were used by the two men In photographing points of interest.

The trip to the coast was made by way of Chicago and the Northwestern route. Returning the shopmen came by way of Arizona. Shopmen's Strike and Train Records for Month Evidence that the railroad shopmen's strike on the Pennsylvania System is having its effect on train operation, though only slightly. Is found In a compilation of the train records for the month of August. The records were eomplled by Pennsy officials and show that out of a total of 6676 trains operated over the Philadelphia.

Division last August only 5821, or 87.2 per arrived at their destination on time. Of these, 6514, or 97.5 per made schedule time. The records for August, 192, reveals a Jess creditable train performance for that month than do the records for the correspond4ng month of last year, when a total of 6817 trains were operated over the Philadelphia Division, of which 6510, or 8S.4 per arrived on time. Trains making schedule time on the Philadelphia Division during that month numbered 6730 or 98.7 per cent, of the toal. From this It Is apparent that the on-time train performance for August of 1921 was 8.2 per cent, better than the performance for the month Just passed.

The schedule time performance for August, 1921, la 1.2 per cent, belter than for August of this year.
