Opp FELLOWS TO MEET IN BELLE- FONTE.—The ninety-sixth anniversary of the organization of Odd Fellowship was celebrated by the Central Pennsylvania association in a big gathering at Blooms- burg last Thursday and Friday, and by an almost unanimous vote it was decided to hold next year’s celebration in Belle- fonte.

The following of- ficers were elected for the ensuing year: President, William F. Losch; secretary, Henry B. Eberly; treasurer, Abe A. Myers, all of Williamsport.

Our Weekly Summary of Legislative Activities. [Continued from page 1, Col. 5.] BRUMBAUGH is “talking through his hat,” and that he is not half as sorry for the defeat of his pet measure as he pretends to be. Anyway it is clear that he in- creased the negative vote considerably by his absurd method of campaigning for the bill. Maybe this was “an error of the head rather than of the heart,” but as NAPOLEON said “some blunders are worse than crimes,” and the Governor indulg- ed in every known variety of blunders. The question was probably decided on election day, however, and the result couldn’t have been changed. The sessions of the Legislature are not long and you can’t get the statesmen to work consecutively more than four days. But in the brief time they are at it much legislation is ground out. On Thursday the Governor signed ten Senate and six House bills, Among these are: Giving mothers the right to appoint guar- .dians in certain cases; authorizing the Forestry Department to purchase land sold for taxes; regulating the issue of preferred stock; validating debts of second-class townships for road improvements; amending divorce laws so that libellant shall be a competent witness; requiring foresters, forest rangers, game protectors, dep- uties and fish wardens to enforce fish, game and forestry laws and authorizing the Department of Forestry to distribute young trees. On Friday His Excellency took his pen in hand and vetoed a bill regulating the catching of frogs and tadpoles; one regulating the assessment of lands divided by township lines and one increasing the authority of literary, scientific, educa- tional, religious, charitable, benevolent or beneficial associations to hold property. Three or four other measures of local interest in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia were-also vetoed and the bills increasing the number of game wardens from 30 to 60; appropriating $11,000 to State institutions for criminal insane for deficiencies; amending the foreign corporation registration act of 1911; amending the school code so as to permit school boards to make contracts with seminaries and acad- emies for instruction and to receive and administer assets of such institutions for educational purposes; regulating appeals from reports of auditors of borough, townships and school districts; prohibiting unnaturalized foreigners from fishing or killing fish and amending the school code to provide for employees’ pensions were approved. On Monday a bill amending the school code so that when a child under 16 years leaves its employment or is absent five days from such employment, the employer shall immediately notify the school official who issued the employment certificate; providing for a commission to codify and revise the law of decedents» estates; authorizing counties and municipalities to unite in providing in court houses certain rest or waiting rooms and increasing the salaries of deputy superin- tendents from $2000 to $3000 were approved. On the same day the bill permitting foreign companies manufacturing explosives, fire bricks and refractories and of cheese, butter or other dairy or creamery products to hold real estate in Pennsyl- vania; a bill doubling the compensation of Mine Inspectors’ Examining boards and a Philadelphia bill were vetoed. : “Hope springs eternal in the human breast.” The friends of the Full Crew law of 1911 who were so completely thrown down in the House last week are still confident of ultimate victory. They are continuing the hopeless fight in the Sen- ate where Senator BURKE, of Pittsburgh, is ably conducting their campaign. But there’s “nothin’ doin’,” in the direction of defeating the BALDWIN repeal bill in that corporate fortress. But they are relying on the Governor's veto to save the measure and it looks as if they have reason “for the faith that is in them.” It seems that during the campaign last fall M. T. ROBINSON, of this city, a member of the Legislative committee of the Railroad trainmen wrote to Dr. BRUMBAUGH for a statement of his attitude on the Full Crew law and the Semi- monthly pay law. Replying the then Republican candidate and now Republican Governor said: “I am in favor of these laws. I have never heard in any way of any attempt on the part of any one to amend or replace them and I should cer- tainly opppose any change in these laws unless it were a change in the interest of the working people, whose welfare is concerned.” That ought to hold the Governor to a veto of the BALDWIN bill and probably will. But meantime it may be set down as a certainty that he will have to meet the question for the railroads have a cinch on the Senate. vv BeckwiTH.— Charles F.
