Manufacturers' Associa
tion and Legislative
Committee of Manufac
turers' Club Prepare to
Wage Battle on Measure.
Labor Union Men nhd Oppo
nents Will Lock Horns in
Arguments on Respective
Features of Act Employes
Demand Increase.
A vigorous light to provent the passage
of tho administration's workmen's com
pensation act In the farm announced by
Governor Brumbaugh last Saturday has
been planned. The manufacturers nro
taking steps to flglit various features ot
the act which they consider too drastic
find oven "confiscatory," while the labor
organizations, on ths other hand, aro
endeavoring tq have tho amount of com
pcnsatlon Increased.
Tho Exccutlvo Committee ot tho Penn
sylvania Manufacturers' Association and
tho Legislation Committee of tho Manu
facturers' Club will meet within a day
or two and plan a tight on certain 'fea
tures of the draft of tho act that has
been mado public. Tho coal operators,
as well as tho manufacturers, will bo
represented In Ilarrlsburgr In their fight
for the ltlnd of a measure thoy want.
Tho Pennsylvania State Federation of
Labor, tho Central Labor Union of Phila
delphia and othor labor bodies will also
bo represented at tlio Leglslaturo when
the administration's workmen's compen
sation act comes up.
Tho employors of tho State havo lot
It bo known that thoy object to tho pro
Visions of tho proposed net that provides:
That compensation must bo paid for
virtually 10 years for total disability.
That this shall Include farm nnd domes
tic labor.
That tho act bo mado applicable to un
naturalized citizens, thus forclttB em
ployers to send tho compensation to tho
fimllles of tho Injured workmen, In Italy
nnd other foreign countries. The em
ployers assert that tho amount that would
bo sent abroad from this Stato oac.i year
In this way would Do enormous.
The" coal operators and manufacturers
Individually aro opposing many other
features of tho. proposed act, but their
principal fight will bo directed against tho
above named provisions.
Should their fight against the exemption
of farm and domestic labor be successful,
H was pointed out by members of tho
Leglslaturo today that tho entlro act
might all of passage. Tho "country"
metnbes dofeated workmen's compensa
two years ago because tho provisions of
tho bill Introduced In 1913 were not made
applicable! to farm and domestic labor.
Tho labor organizations of tho Stato aro
planning a concerted effort to havo tho
amount of compensation Increased from
BO per cent, to 6G 2-3 per cent., tho amount
paid in Now York under tno compensation
law of that State.
They assert that while a man Is In
capaclated by an accident, ho needs oven
more than his regular salary, because of
his Increased expenses.
Tho bill, or rather, tho series of six
bills, will not bo Introduced In tho Legls
laturo for another week at least. Gov
ernor Brumbaugh desires to havo tho
measure thoroughly discussed before the
final draft Is submitted to tho Legislature,
and during the coming week ho will hear
aIL.sldes of the question.
"SAFETY FIRST" SERMON
The Rev. L. N. Caley Preaches on
Salvation at Lenten Service.
"Safety First" was tho toDlc of dlscus-
slon chosen by Rev. Llewellyn N. Caley,
; pastor of tho Church of St. Judge nnd
the Nativity, for the noonday Lenten
service at Old St. Paul's, 3d street, below
' Walnut street, today.
The well-known motto, he said, has
been adopted for the attainment of mate
rial prosperity and there Is no reason
why It should not bo adopted for tho at
tainment of spiritual betterment. "Ac
cording to the Bible safety, means salva
tion," Mr. Caley said.
"There are four aspects to salvation,"
ho continued, "the way of salvation, tho
knowledge of salvation, the Joy of sal
vation and tho day of salvation. The
way of salvation depends on tho work of
Christ for us. Tho knowledge of salva
tion depends on tho work of God for us.
The Joy ot salvation depends on our
walking with God."

Lenten services, attended by several

lic nnd Lutheran churches In tho down

In St. John's Itoman Catholic ChUrch,
13th sticel abovo Chestnut street, tho IteV,
John J, Wheeler preached tho sermon on
tho the mo, "The Ingrsitltudo of Man In
Ills llolatlons to God nnd ills FallUro to
Llvo In Accordance With Divine' LaW."
"Our conscience Is a hideous Rlnht." said
tho speaker. "If God wero to reveal any
man's conscience 'to tho multitude hero
assembled, that man would run away and
hldo himself In some secret corner. In
our dealings with God wo nro a protty
moan sot. In our dealings With God wo
are Unspeakably ridiculous.
"God wants my heart, and not my In
sincerity. 1 cannot deceive him, so what
Is tin uso of trying? Tho nverago Chris
tlon may be said to bo often ruled by self
deception nnd a wrong appreciation of
life. Self-delusion often makes us believe
that wo nro a great deal better than we
actually arc.
'Itellglon Is a personal union between
God and tho Individual, and others'
actions aro not within tho Justification of
our mind nnd criticism. Wo dwell little
jmft ourselves Spiritually, Tho mission of
tno church Is to forco us Into study of
ourselves. enocclnllv dilrlmr this season of
Lent, which Is pre-eminently a tlmo for
Introspection."
Father Wheeler dwelt upon tho Inade
quacy of service rendered to God. "I
tumblo Into bed at night and I tu'mblo out
of bod In tho morning," ho said. "Aro
my prayers on theso occasions a reason
able, Intelligent servlco? In my prayers
do I over think of God? How many
hasten to tho confessional when In mor
tal sin?
"How many try to hear sermons nnd
Instructions that their minds nnd hearts
may bo filled with good thoughts and
chnritablo sentiments?"
Ilofcrrlng to secular matters, ho spoke
of tho. man who Is a perpetual "grouch"
at home, a constant Bcandul to his chil
dren on account of bad temper, lntempor
anco nnd genorat lack of tho spiritual.
" 'I am a mean, low, base lngrate; I
am ashamed of mysolf. How docs God
tolernto"no?' With these sentiments of
humility wo will take up, next Monday,
tho subject, 'The Spirit of Lent.' "
GARKICK THEATRE MEETING
The Rev. Dr. S. S. Marquis Preaches
Lenten Sermon.
''What Must I Do to Bo Lost?" was tho
topic of today's noon sermon In tho Gnr
riok Theatre, preached by tho Rev. Dr.
Samuel s. Marquis, dean of St. Paul's
Cathedral, of Detroit. Mich. Ho cited
Uireo ways by which man may loso
eternal salvation.
"Tho rlrst way," said Doctor Marquis,
"Is tho way of the lost sheep, which
breaks away from the flock and tho shep
herd and flees back to tho wilderness.
Typical of this sort of backsliding Is tho
man who heeds tho call of the wild and
turns his back on conventionality.
"Tho prodigal sou represents another
type. Ho loses eternal life because ho has
no purpose. His pockets aro filled with
monov, but ho has no purpose, no serious
Intention.
"Tho parable of tho lost coin Illustrates
tho third manner of losing salvation. Tho
coin Is made valuable by u. process which
begins with abstracting It from tho ore.
After It achieves vnluo It is lost to tho
world. It is still Just as valuable,
potentially, hut Its actual worth Is de
preciated by Its' isolation. Tho collc;o
Krndtiato who remains aloof from the
world Is a representative of this class.
Ho noglocts tho opportunity which Is his
to benellt mankind."
THE SOURCE OF HAPPINESS
Dr. Grotton Appeals for Righteous
ness in Lenten Sermon.
"niehtcousncs3 means honesty in busi
ness, justlco In deallnc; with men, nnd
purity In nodal relationship," said Dr.
"W. 3r. Groton, dean pf the Philadelphia
Divinity School, in a sermon In Old St.
Peter's Church, 3d nnd Pino streets, to
day. "ThcBo virtues nro much needed
theso days," ho added.
"Tho effect of righteousness Is two
fold," said Doctor Groton. "It defends
ono from temptation nt tho outset, where
defense is the most telling. It elves him
tho consciousness of an honest, clean life,
which Is always a source of strcneth nnd
Inspiration Ip tho warfare annlnst evil.
Loyalty to God's laws Is especially valu
able for tho sense of power and penco
with which It fills tho heart of God's
servant."

CHILDREN OF WIFE MURDERER
KNOW NOT PARENTS' FATE
Kiddies of John Talap, Recently Electrocuted by
State, Are Kept in Ignorance of Their
Father's Shameful Death.

Above nro tho four children of
John Talap, left fatherless when
ho was recently put to death in
tho electric chair for tho murder
of his wife, shown below.
A llttlo matter of $223 and Interest that
will nccrue to them when they reach
majority is tho solo legacy of the chil
dren of John Talap, who died last Tilcs-don-mornlng
In Pennsylvania's new oloc-
halr nt Rockvlow, Centre County.
an deprived hit four children of
their mother by shooting her In a fit
of Jealous rago. Tho Stato deprived them
of their father by killing him In the elec
tric chair nearly two years later. Un
llko tho end of tho mother, that of tho
father was legal and cold and formal.
Tho llttlo ones, whoso ages range from
2 to 7 ycari. know nothing of their leg
acy, nor o the manner In which their
parenta died. The oldest, Mary, was
Just a trlflo over 5 years old when her
grandfather camo homo ono stormy
morning with tho set staro In his eyes
and tho pallor In his fnco of ono who
has looked suddenly on violent death.
Since that tlmo Gcorgo Fesco and his
wife, Mary, tho grandparents', have
stepped Into tho shoos of their murdered
daughtor nnd executed son-in-law, bo
far as their relations with the little ones
aro concerned. Tho children do not
know that their mother was murdered
and their father electrocuted for the
ciime. To them their grandparents are
father and mother.
When Fesco found his daughter mur
dered on tho roadside a block from his
homo in August, 1013, and when his son-in-law
dlsappeaicd, he and his wife nat
urally took enre of tho little ones. Thoy
surmised that Tnlnp had, dons tho shoot
ing, and they knew that ho wns skulking
miserably about the llttlo village of
Stowo, n few miles north of Pottstown,
whero they lived, waiting for the mo
ment when ho should havo sufllclent
cournge to surrender.
Then Talap gave himself up and was
put In Jail. Tho children saw nothing
moro of him, and by tho by their dim
recollections of both father and mother
faded. It was quite natural for tho
grandparents to do what they did.
But tho mills and other Industries of
Stowo do not operate all tho time, and
tho day came when George Fesco found
himself out of work. It was hard to see
the lltlo girls go. but It had to bo done.
Ono of thorn, Mary, was given In caro
of a Philadelphia family. The other, An
nie, 5 years old, went to Chosapeako
City, Maryland.
John, Jr., 4 years old, and George, 2
years old, rcmnlncd with their grandpar
ents. TIjey still llvo In tho little two and
n half story frame) house at Stowe, built
by their father, ifach bolloves tho little,
gray-haired woman with tho nge-llned
faco and tho kindly eyes Is "mother."
Each calls George Fesco "father."
Whatever talk of tho double tragedy
there Is In tho Fesco homo never takes
placo within tho hearing of tho two llt
tlo boys. They romp about tho house
or In the yard with tho other children
of tho neighborhood, carefreo and happy.
There Ih no cloud of dark memory In
their bluo eyes, no dim suspicion of tho
torrlble truth In their smiles.
They do not even suspect that they
will not always be playing together In
their home In tho vlllngo of Stowo. They
do not realize that tho pinch of unem
ployment mny forco tho man who is
father to them to send them to an
asylum, that they may bo adopted Into

somo othor homes nnd perhaps separated,
but this Is the cold fact.
Through nn Interpreter Mrs. Fesco, the
grnndmother, explained today that sho
will keep tho children In her homo just
as long ob sho can. Her son, George, and
her daughter, Annie, ore working, but
her husband is not employed, and sho Is
afraid tho little fellows may have to go.
Tho ono ray of hopo Is that George
or Annie will got married and will raise
tho boys, but this Is nothing moro than
a ray of hope, and a slender one.
Talap has been burled by nn under
taker nt Bellefonte, noting for the family.
Mr. and Mrs. Fesco would not havo
tho body brought back to Stowo for
burial for two reasons. Tho most Im
portant was that they did not want tho
children to know. The other reason was
their fear that Talap would haunt the
houso. Mrs. Fesco told of this simply
through an Interpreter. Sho saw noth
ing strange In tho age-old Slav super
stition. It is her heritage.
When duo proof of Talap's grim ending
in tho electric chair and of his burial
shall have been furnished Mrs. Fesco
will collect the Insurnnco money. She
says she intends to put It Into a bank for
tho children when they grow up to be
men ttuu women.
Should tho children bo told of tho
nature of their father's death they will
ncvti iuiuw tno location of his grave
The undertaker nt nellefonto purchased
a plot Just big enough for tho purposo
from n farmer. He did It with something
of secrecy, because tho good people of
the territory surrounding Itockviow. near
Bellefonte. havo a strong aversion to a
cemetery on their land for tho body
of an executed murderer. Nevertheless
a man was found who needed tho monoy
nnd who had land otherwise useless.
Somewhere far back In the desolate
brown hills. In view of tho glaring white
concreto fortress of a deathhouso whero
ho died, John Talap was burled. No pro
vision was made for a headstone. If
the undertaker or somo ono else put up
a wooden cross It will bo visible only
until summer, when tho underbrush nnd
the rank weeds of tho hills will grow
up and hide It.
The storms get full sway In the hills,
THE WORK AUTOCAR DELIVERY VEHICLES
Mr. T. B. Willis, of 421 Market St., Philadelphia, when interviewed
by the reporting photographer of the Autocar, made the following
Statement:
"In September, 1911, I was working at my trade at a email
Balary, I had saved a few hundred dollars, and I Baw the possi
bilities of making more money if I owned a reliable motor truck
and could go into business for myself.
"I called on The Autocar Sales & Service Company, 23rd and -l
Market Sts., Philadelphia, and they sold me an Autocar on their
usual term payment plan that is, taking part cash and the
balanco in monthly interest-bearing notes.
"The money that this Autocar earned for me not only enabled
me to meet the notes as they fell due, but allowed me to save
enough money to start the purchase of the second car on the same
plan as the first.
'I now own two cars, have a good paying business and am ray
own boss.
"What more can I say of the work that the Autocars have
done for me?"
The Autocar is modernizing delivery services. No one with a delivery
problem to solve can afford to purchase additional horse equipment or any
other make of car without first investigating the merits of the Autocar and
The Autocar Sales and Service Company's facilities and co-operative
policy. Call or write.
'
nnd In a few years the wooden cross. If
there is one. will rot nnd crumble away
By the time the children nro grown
thoso who burled Talap probably will
have died, and there will be no one to
point out tho mound to them. But they
may never search for It, for they may
never know.
RtiPINEKY OFFICIALS PllEDICT
liOWBIt THICK OF GASOLINE
Base Belief on Announced Discovery
of Bureau of Mines.
The public may expect a decline In tho
price of gasoline, In tho opinion ot W. M.
Irish, secretary of tho Atlantic Rellnl'tig
Company. Ho made the prophecy this
morning, afler reading an announcement
by Franklin K. Lane, Secretary of the
Interior, that tho United States Bureau
of Mines has made a discovery which will
cnablo Independent rcllners In this coun
try to Increase their output ot g.iBolIno
from petroleum by TOO per cent or more.
"If the new method cheapens the cost
of production, tho Atlantic Refining Com
pany will be glad to participate In it,"
said Mr Irish. "It probably will mako
tho Independent refiners n mote Important
incior in the business. Although pre
dicting n lower price if the now discovery
' works out ni expected, he ileclnrcd that
tho present retnll price ot gasoline, V,
cents a pint Is "cheap "
'Increased production undoubtedly will
bring about a reduction of price," snld
Gcorgo M Iietrlcli, district soles manager
of tho Oulf Refining Company, nn Inde
pendent company.
Tho manager of another largo Inde
pendent refining company was loss posi
tive In predicting n lower price. He
pointed out the increasing number of
motor vehicles as evidence that tho de
mand for the commodity Is constantly
growing Ho said that If iinexpedcd de
ments do not arise, the price will drop
somewhat In case tho Government's dis
covery Is nil that Is claimed for It. "It
will have to be tried out before Its value
will bo known," ho said.
