STATE RIGHTS AND FEDERAL UNION,
VOL. 75.
BEL
An Unseasonable Veto.
For the first time the House of
Representatives in Washington, on
Monday, registered a positive dis-
sent from the policies of the Presi-
dent. In framing the tariff bill his
recommendations were utterly ignor-
ed but the alibi was set up that it
was a question of interpretation.
But no such excuse can be offered
in this case. By an overwhelming
majority his veto of a bill increas-
ing the pensions of Spanish Ameri-
cans war veterans was overridden,
An adverse vote of 298 to 14 is
not only a rebellion; it is an em-
phatic rebuke. Of the thirty-six
Pennsylvania Representatives only
one, Mr. Graham, of Philadelphia,
voted to sustain the veto. Yet
Pennsylvania is a Hoover fishing
preserve.
The bill having originated in
Senate the veto message was
dressed to that chamber. His
jections were that it provided
the payment of pensions to veterans
“whose disabilities resulted from
vicious habits,” that it reduced the
period of service required for a
pension “from ninety to seventy
the
ad-
days” and that “pensions would be!
paid regardless of whether the
veteran was in need of it.” There
may be some merit in the last two
reasons, though it is rather late to
raise them. The time limit for serv-
ice pensions in the Civil war is
ninety days, and there is no ques-
tion as to the cause of disability
and the matter of wealth or pover-
ty is never raised.
But the statesmen in both branches
of Congress seemed in a fighting
mood and the subject presented an
opportunity to indulge in oratorical
conflict. One Senator, referring to
recent tax refunds, remarked ‘we
give away the public funds to the
millionaires but our soldiers ust
be paupers before they get any of
the government's money” and that
aspersion upon the methods of the
administration was cordially approv-
ed. But it was probably not the
real reason for the passage of the
bill, “the objections of the Presi-
dent to the contrary, notwithstand-
ing.” It was the time that turned
the trick. The Congressional elec-
tions are almost in sight and the
vote was a “safety first” expedient.
— The influence which has kept
Tom Cunningham, of Philadelphia,
out of jail for two years is still op-
erating. The Senate committee has
excused him from testifying in the
present investigation.
Opposition to the Naval Treaty.
The effort to procure the ratifica-
tion of the London Naval
treaty is not having the “easy go-
ing” that was expected. Most of the
flag officers of the navy are against
it and though Senator Borah,
chairman of the committee on
Foreign Relations, has expressed
great anxiety for speedy action the
vote on the question is likely to go
over until the short session which
begins next December. Admiral
Jones, who was a member of the
conference, first voiced opposition
to approval gnd he has since been
supported in his objections by Ad-
miral Chase, soon to become Com-
mander in Chief of the fleet, and
Rear Admiral Pringle, president of
the Naval War college.
The basis of the opposition to
the treaty is that it “leaves the
United States in an inferior posi-
tion” with respect to Great Britain
and that it gives Japan a ratio in
naval equipment which is out of
proportion. “In 1936,” Admiral
Chase declares, “according to the
replacement programme, the United
States obtains equality in numbers
but does not reach equality in ton-
nage until 1942.” That is a long
time to wait and as there is to be
another conference in 1936 it may
never be achieved, for that confer-
ence may completely upset
plans and reverse the ratios. And,
the Admiral continues, “under these
same conditions Japan's ratio with
respect to the United States, would
still be above the Washington
treaty ratio.”
Admiral Jones’ main objection to
the treaty lies in the substitution
of six for eight inch guns on the
cruisers we are authorized to build
within the next five years, and on
this point both Admiral Chase and
Rear Admiral Pringle concur. If
the American delegates to the
Geneva conference had consented to
such substitution the question might
have been settled then. But for the
very substantial reason that we
have fewer naval stations than
Great Britain and our crafts are
obligated to carry greater quanti-

| COUNCIL WILL OPEN
BURNSIDE STREET.
Will Also Make Test of New Fire
i Alarm Systems.
Only six members were present
at the regular meeting of council,
on Monday evening, the absentees
being president Walker, Beaver and
Kline. Mr. Cobb was chosen to pre-
side. Monday evening being the
time set for a hearing in the mat-
ter of opening Burnside street
through to Blanchard street a num-
ber of property owners were present
to intercede in behalf of the move-
ment. No one was present to ob-
ject to the opening but a written
protest was filed by members of
the McDermontt family, through
whose land the street will run. All
other property owners are anxious
to have the street opened and will
give the necessary land free of all
claims for damages. On motion of
Mr. Emerick the ordinance provid-
ing for the opening of the street
was adopted and the matter was
referred to the Street committee
and borough solicifjor for whatever
action may now be necessary.
Several residents of the western
section of Burnside street were gain
present to ask for a sewer but no
definite decision was reached.
Mr. Stewart, representing an
asphalt paint company, appeared be-
fore council and advised painting
the electric light standards and the
iron fence at the spring with his
asphalt paint, which, he claimed,
would last three times as long as
any other paint.
Horace Hartranft asked that
sewer connections be made to his
property on east Linn street and
council asked him to submit a prop-
osition in regard to bearing some
of the expense.
A communication was received
from Arthur C. Dale Esq., in behalf
of a damage claim of Thomas Mor-
rison who was injured in a fall on
some ice in front of the property of
burgess Hard P. Harris, last Febru-
rary. Mr. Dale intimated that a
reasonable settlement can be made.
Referred to the borough solicitor.
The Street committee reported the
work on east Curtin street completed
and north Wilson street will be com-
pleted this week. Temporary repairs
were made on the Lamb street
bridge over Spring creek, but the
bridge superstructure and flooring
were reported in a bad, if not dan-
gerous condition, and the matter
(was referred to the Street com-
mittee for consultation with the coun-
ity commissioners relative to re-
building the bridge.
Mr. Emerick called the attention
of council to the fact that there is
a very noticeable increase in the
vibration of the High street bridge
every time a vehicle crosses it, and
it should be thoroughly inspected to
determine the cause. :
Mr, Jodon called attention to the
fact that the White Bros. had un-
'loaded a club dinef which they pro-
‘posed moving to their property on
‘the corner of High and Spring streets,
‘and as it is heavy and cut into
the tarred roadway at the P. R. R.
‘station the owners should not be
‘permitted to move it over the
‘streets. Mr. Emerick stated that
under the new building code and
fire ordinance the club diner could
{not be erected within the fire zone.
The matter was referred to the
‘Street and Fire and Police commit-
‘tees.
| The Water committee reported
various repairs and the collection of
$300 on water duplicates.
Mr. Jodon, of the Fire and Police
committee, reported that he had
three bids for a new fire alarm sys-
tem, one from the Sterling Siren Fire
‘Alarm company for $690; the
,Gamewell Code company for $1462.50,
which he had not even considered,
and the Federal Electric company
for $815 with a five horse power
motor or $1015 with a twenty horse
power motor. Mr. Jodon recom-
mended that both the Sterling and
Federal companies be permitted to
bring a system here for demon-
stration, council to then determine
which one to keep, if any; the bor-
ough to bear the expense of the
hook-up for demonstration and also
pay the return freight on the one
not accepted. On motion of Mr.
Emerick the committee’s recommen-
dation was accepted.
The Finance committee
an overdraft of $76.75 in the bor-
ough account and a balance in the
water fund of $4640.95; Notes were
renewed totaling $9,000 and a new

| —
In a brief item’ in the Watchman,
last week, referring to the removal
‘of the Western Union telegraph of-
fice from the Penn Belle to the
Brockerhoff house block, we stated
that it is the first time the office
has been located uptown. This wasan
error. The first telegraph office es-
tablished in Bellefonte was located
in a bookstore kept by Frank Liv-
_ingstone in a frame building located
‘on the corner where J. O. Heverly's
“auto supply store now stands. This
"was in the days before the Civil
'war. Later the office was moved
into F. Potts Green’s drug store
which occupied one-half of a frame
building located about where Mont-
| gomery & Co. and Zeller's drug
| stores are now, in Crider’s Exchange.
Joseph Schnell was the operator at
‘that time.
Of course there was no Crider’s
| Exchange in those days. On the
corner now occupied by the First
' National bank of Bellefonte was a
{frame building in which were two
store rooms, one occupied by Thomas
Burnside and the other by Baxstres-
ser & Christ, hardware dealers. In
the next building were Edward
i Graham’s shoe shop and F, Potts
Green’s drug store. Further north
was Curtin & Blanchard’s law office,
then a public room used for holding
political gatherings and meetings of
various kinds, and last in the row
was a double building which housed
was along in the seventies when the
First National bank building was
erected on its present site and Ed-
ward C. Humes bought all the oth-
er properties in that block and
erected Humes’ block, which was
destroyed by fire in the latter eigh-
ties. The land was then sold
to F. W. Crider who erected Crider’s
Exchange.
| It was in 1864 that the first rail-
road station was built in Bellefonte
on the site of the present P. R. R.

completed the telegraph office was
