that measure comes up for n voto on
third reading In the Senate. Ueforo the

portant legislation scheduled for passage
will have been started on a rush through
the Legislature, preparatory to adjourn
ment about May 20.
After this week, tho consideration and
passage of the appropriation bills, to
gether with tho final consideration of two
Of three of the remaining Important bills,
will be all that will faco this session of
the Legislature, and plans for linn ad
journment aro expected to be made this
week.
The measures that will come before the
Legislature this week Include, In addition
to the child labor bill, the compensation
measures, the transit loan amendment to
the Stato Constitution, the full crew re
pealer, the cold storngo repealer and sev
eral revenue bills yet to b Introduced.
When the Cox child labor bill comes up
for a voto In tho Senato tonight, nn effort
will be made by Senator Charles A. Sny
der, who Is now all nlomi In leading tho
fight for the manufacturers, to amend It.
These amendments are not expected to
be even considered, however.
TO PRBVDNT AMENDMENT.
When the famous "pickling" committee
of the Senato was forced to report the
measure without amendment last week,
tho members of the committee who
forced Senator Snyder to bring tho bill
out onto the floor of the Senate agreed
that h6 could offer tho amendments to
night. They also agreed not to oppose
thu offering of tho amendments. This,
however, does not mean anything, as
there are only 15 members of the com
mittee, and under the rules of tho Sen
ate, amendments cannot even be con
sidered on third rending If nny member
of that body objects to their being pre
sented. COMPENSATION BILL UEADT.
The series of bIx bills and the amend
ment to the Constitution that comprise
the workmen's compensation measures,
will be reported out tonight by the Senate
Committee on Corporations, to which they
were referred last week for minor and
Immaterial amendments. This measure,
like the child labor bill, has passed tho
House, and will be ready for tho signature
jof the Governor when It Is finally passed
jby the Senate, which will probably be on
(Monday night of next week. It Is sched
tilled to pass the Senato without any ma
terial changes.
I TO VOTE ON TRANSIT LOAN.
, The most Important measure before the
House this week Is the Varo transit
Jhmendment to the State Constitution.
This amendment, which would Increase
;t.he borrowing capacity of the city of Phil
adelphia from seven co 10 per cent, of tho
jBisessed valuation of taxable property,
(Tor transit and port development, was
passed by the Senate last week. It is on
second reading In the House tonight, and
Bhould finally pass that branch this week.
It will then be ready to submit to the
voters of the State for their approval at
the election next fall, as It was Introduc
ed by Senator Vnre In 1913, and was pass
ed by that Legislature.
Sets Aside Ruling of Lower Tri
bunal Giving Moore Seat In
Select Council.
The Supremo Court, In an opinion by
Justice Potter, today confirmed the elec
tion of Dr. William V. IJacon, Republican,
ns Select Councilman from tho 11th Ward,
over Dr. Phillip 11. Moore, Fusion nom
nee, thereby ending n bitter controversy
which began In the November election In
1913, and was carried up through tho
courts on various appeals. Justice Mrs
tretat, however, filed a dissenting opinion
today, holding that Doctor Moore was
properly elected.
The long controversy began when the
ofllelal count of the election made It ap
pear that Doctor Bacon had been elected
by a majority of seven votes. On the pe
tition alleging error the court appointed
Preston O. Erdman as examiner to open
tho ballot boxes In seven divisions or the
ward. The recount showed tho apparent
election of Doctor Mooro by 29 votes,
Doctor Bacon then appealed for a recount
of tho voto In tho entire ward, which was
granted.
Th result this time showed Moore
elected by 37 votes. Exceptions were
again filed, hut the Court of Quarter
Session dismissed them and confirmed
the teport of tho exnmlncr and adjudged
Mooro to be elected. John Mnnaghan,
attorney for Bacon, thereupon took the
appeal to the Supreme Court, which to
day confirmed the election of Bacon, who
has kept his seat In Select council
throughout tho controversy.
In the dissenting opinion, Justice Ms
treiat argued that 9? ballots credited for
Mooie and later thrown out becauso they
woro marked both on the party volumn
and on the space opposite the individual
names, should not be excluded, as there
was no doubt as to what tho voters In
tended when they cast their ballots
Tho Supreme Court, In Its opinion, also
took occasion to protest agalnel the uie
of "stickers" of pronounced color In
contrast to the white ballots.

this afternoon, when a committee repre
senting the Philadelphia Lager Beer
Brewers' Association agreed to wage In
creases and shorter hqurs at a confer
ence with the Employes' Committee In
the Land Title Building.
The employes were offered the option
of taking one hour less a day or Jl a

"working hours wilt begin at once. Albert
Kugler. an ofllelal of the United Brewery
Workers Association, conducted the ne
gotiations for the employes. Gustave
Bergner was head of the Brewers' Com
mittee. The threatened trouble arose over the
renewal of a verbal contract between
the employes and brewery owners, which
expired Friday. The decision to threaten
strike unless concessions were granted
was made at a secret meeting In the
Labor Lyceum, 6th and Green streets,
yesterday. Other meetings of the brew
ery employes were held throughout the
city. The new agreement reached to
day will be effective for three years.

Immediate investigation of the attack
upon tho American steamship Gulfllght
by a German submnrino Is urged by mem
Itcin (if Congiess nnd prominent citizens.
In speaking of the attack. Senator Ten
rose sold: "All Americans view with
gravo concern nny attack upon nn Ameri
can vessel, and It Is n matter of the
gravest concern If an assault bo made In
violation of International law. It Is our
duty to bo suro of the facts and It Is
our duty to guafl tho American flag."
"I am convinced, " snld Congrossman
William S. Vnre, "that tho Stato Depart
ment will make nn Immediate Investiga
tion of this attack upon an American
lp. Should It bo proved that tho ship
was fired upon as reported, tho American
people can rest assured that tho Stato
iDcpartmcnt will take proper nnd Immedi
ate ntcps to protect American citizens
and preserve the integrity of the United
States. I, of course, favor such n step,
and I nm confident that should the facts
prove such an nssault was made, tho
proper reparation will bo demnnded."
"Any country, whether It be Germany
or another", said Congressman Darrovv,
"should bo held responsible for such an
attack. If Investigation proves that re
ports of the attack are Hue Immediate
reparation should bo demanded. There
seems tn bo too much promiscuous firing
on American ships and It's nbout time to
cnll a halt. I do not seo why international
laws cannot be enforced and protection
nfTorded tho neutral nations at sen. I
nm strongly In favor ot nn immediate
Investigation and a demand for repara
tion." Slmllnr views were expressed by Dr.
J William White. "The thing hns hap
pened that tho Government warned Ger
many anglnst," he sold. "It Is rank pi
racy nnd there can be only one opinion
In regard to It. It seems to me an act
of hostility against tho United States.
Such an net Is a breach of nil Interna
tional law It Is a dcllbcrnto and un
provoked affront to this country.
"I supposo that Germany will defend
this unwarranted attack by taking refuge
behind her warning that nil neutral ves
sels found by her wnrshlps In waters
.surrounding tho British Isles would be
liable tn destruction. The war-zone
order, In purposo and Intent, nnd, there
fore, In possibility. Is to be classed with
tho Invasion nnd destruction of Belgium
on tho plea of military necessity. It Is
to bo hoped that our Government will
, uiuj Buufn n resolution io make a tirm
Hinnii inr me rignts nr Us citizens."
Francis A Lewis bald: "No tlmo should
bo lost In making nn Investigation of tills
reported nttnek. If It Is true, then repa
ration should be demanded of Germany.
inoro seems to bo too many mistakes
nlong this line and tho tlmo hns nrlved
for n rigid enforcement of International
law.
Continued from Tnge Ono
certain correspondence of the Into Sen-
ntor was destroyed.
J. J. Dickinson, of Washington, also a
former Now York newspaper correspon
dent at Albany, told of an Interview ho
had with Barnes In 1903.
"Barnes told me," said Dickinson, "that
he had no Illusions ns to politics."
Dickinson then told of Barnes' oppos
ing tho Hughes anti-racing betting legis
lation and alleged that Barnes Induced
Senator Grattan to voto against tho bill.
Arndt, resuming his testimony, testi
fied nbout Interviews he had with Barnes.
"Mr. Barnes," Arndt said, "told mo In
1911, that he had received a message from
Mr Murphy saying that the direct
primary hill was likely to pass nnd ask
ing him (Barnes) to havo tho Republicans
help the Tammany men to beat the bill."
"What did Mr. Barnes say he would
do?" asked Bowers.
"Ho said he would not oppose the bills,
but would let Murphy pull his own chest
nuts out of the fire, or words to that
effect."
"That's all," said Bowers, with a snap.
"That's nil," echoed Ivlns, with a
chuckle.
William Blchards, comptroller at Al
bany, was called. He Identified certain
documents to be rend later In connection
with tho printing evidence.
Michael D. Dolan. general manager of
the Argus Company of Albany, resumed

The catching of a potato on a fork Is
difficult, especially when the spud Is
thrown with speed. It Is still more difficult
when there are many potatoes thrown at
once by several persons. Hut George Dar
win Is not discouraged by such conditions.
With a fork In his mouth and the prongs
toward the audience, Darwin was endeav
oring to catch flying "spuds" In this
fashion at Martha street and Susque
hanna avenue. The potatoes which didn't
strike the fork hit Darwin on the face,
the nose and the eyes. He stood the
bumps for quite a while until he discov
ered that the throwers wera trying to hit
)il 'nose Instead of the fork. Then he an
nounced; "Yer a bunch o' pikers an' I
kin lick any guy In ther" but the sen
tence was cut short by a potato hltlnr
him In the mouth.
When Darwin struck a fighting attitude
he was bombarded from all sides. But
the crowd was taking the ammunition
from a nearby grocery and the proprietor
voiced his objection. At that moment
Sergeant Bob Henry arrived. The audi
ence ran at lht of Henry, leaving Par.

two men deslro to bathe In one bathtub

bathe, John Wlrtschaffskl, his tenant, got
the same Idea. John got In tho tub first
today and was splashing happily, when
Joe reminded him that It wasn't At

John, whose face was covered with soap,
replied as best he could, but Joe became
Indignant. He took down a stoyo plpo
and shook some soot In a big bag. Then
he took the bag of soot and emptied It
on John. John jumped out of the tub,
and, seizing two big towels, ran to the
roof, Joe got a board and chased him.
John throw one of the towels over his

board, but slid backward to the trapdoor
and disappeared. John finally summoned

The elopement nnd marriage of Miss
Inez Drayton, daughter of Mrs J n.
Hvans Roberts, of 2017 Locust Btr.et, nnd
Doir H. Newton, of this city, on Saturday,
waa announced yesterday.
Miss Drayton made her debut In Decem
ber and has been very popular In the
younger set. Gossip had linked her name
with Mr. Newton's, and society In gen
eral was expecting the announcement of
an engagement.
Kriends nf Miss Drajton have not
shown much Burprise at tho fact that it
was a runaway affair, Miss Drayton
having shown an adventurous spirit on
various occasions.
When she was but 15 years old she and
another girl decided to take a trip to
rew -iork. and though neither had ever
beforo even wnlked on tho street without
the protection of a maid, they managed
to avoid detection and reached New York,
where they registered at tho Waldorf
Astoria. Hut an unkind clerk, recogniz
ing tho name of Drayton and also the ex.
tremo youth of the two arrivals, tele
graphed to the girls' mothers, who made
hasty trips to the metropolis and snatched
the naughty little ones home before they
had had a chance to do so much as visit
u theatre.
Miss Drayton's mother was Miss Kthel
Tiers, who married W. Heyward Dray,
ton, now of Chicago, some five yeara
ago. Mr. and Mrs. Drayton were di
vorced and Mrs. Drayton married J. R.
Evans Roberts, of this city,
Mr, and Mrs, Roberts are both absent
