HARRIsnurtG, May 4. Governor
Brumbaugh's child labor bill will become
law as soon ns he has signed It. The
meaiurc was finally pnsBed by the Sen
ate last night by the overwhelming vote
if Of 44 to 6, In substantially the same form
In which It was first Introduced In the
Legislature by Representative Cox. The
Governor's decisive victory In the passage
of the hill, with Its provisions for a nine
hour day with a 51-hour week, and the
continuation school feature. Is credited
to two factors. Because of the wny tho
p Chief Executive has swung the patronage
club. Senator Penrose has kept 'hands
off," and has not 'used his Influence to
fight the mcasuro drnftcd by the Gov
ernor; because of the approaching May
oralty campaign In Philadelphia Senator
JlcNichol came openly to the aid of the
Governor. The uptown Philadelphia
leader Is doing all he van to keep tha
Republican ranks In Philadelphia united
hi preparation for next fall's campaign.
The scene on the floor of tho Senate
when the child labor bill passed finally
last night was almost unparalleled In tho
history of that house since It came under
the domination of the Republican Organl
tatlon. Senator Snyder, of Schuylkill, was tho
only "stalwart" leader conducting tho
fight for the manufacturers to have the
bill amended so hb to provide for a 10
hour .day and a 54-hour week, together
with a curtailment of the continuation
school feature. Arrayed against him
fcere Senators Varo and McNIchol. Sen
ator Crow, Republican State chairman,
whu Is the other leader of the Republican
forces In the Senate, took no part In the
Sght. He voted for the paasage of the
till, however

fighting for the nmsnw nf Hip hill

Grundy, who demanded a rollcall on tho
Question of the Senate going Into a com

Senator Snyder.
After Senator Snyder had concluded nf-
.tacking Governor Brumbaugh and nftcr
oeinaa nmshed asserting that the Gov
prnor's child labor bill would work harm,
rather than do -good, Senator Ruckman
demanded the rollcall. The motion to go
into committee of the whole was defeated

ALLIES LAND TROOPS
BELOW SMYRNA FOR
ASSAULT ON FORTS
Ephesus Occupied by Anglo-French
Army to Co
operate With Fleet Bom
barding Turkish City on
Asia Minor Coast.
AT.IKNH. May 4.
Allied troops have been landed nt
Bphesus, 3. miles southeast of Smyrna,
to co-opcMto with the warships of tho
Anglo-French fleet In their attack upon
thnt city, according to a dlspntch received
today from Chios. Another dispatch from
Mltylene Mat-;s that four Hrltlsh war
ships bombarded tho Sm ma forts yes
terday, and that the bombardment of tho
forts nlong the Dardanelles was re
sumed by the French anil British war
ships today.
It Is reported today thnt Vnll (Gov
ernor) ot Smyrna had opened negotlutlona
with the Allies looking to the surrender
of Smyrna.
Owing to lack ot hospital ships for
their forces wounded on Galllpoll penin
sula It Is reported that the Allies will
trnnsiiort their Injured to Athens,
The bombardment of the fortlficatlonn
guarding tho Dardanelles was resumed
with Increased vigor by the allied fleet
today. The Qurrn Kllznbcth. Wnrsprltc
and other "big-gun" ships are raking tho
forts from the Aegean Sea and the Gulf
ot Snros, white a squadron of French and
British warships have penetrated tiif
strait and nre concentrating their lire
on Kllld llahr and Cliatmk Kalcssl. Prac
tically every unit of the fleet Is engnged.
On the peninsula of Galllpoll tho allied
troops nro pushing forwnrd, but nnturnlly
thrlr progress Is very slow. The Turkish
positions are ycry strong and so well
placed strategically that It Is necessary
to try to reduce them by artillery rnthcr
than by direct attack. The British losses
arc ory great, and it Is understood that
a number of flic transports have been
transformed Into hospital ships to ciury
the wounded back to 'Malta for treat
ment. PBTllOORAD, May I.
The Ruslan Black Sea licet has again
bombarded tho Bosphorus forts, doing
considerable damage, according to dis
patches received here today. .
Tho bombardment opened at daybreak
Sunday. The Turkish butteries replied
Ineffectually and the warships, steaming
close In shore, scored several hits. Near
one of the fortB two shells burst. Imme
diately afterward there was a tremen
dous explosion and flames were seen
bursting over tho foitlllcntlons.
The forts shelled were those at Fcner,
Rarldjo, Fll-Burnil, Burnu-Llman, I'pper
nnd Lower Kavnk-Knle and the i:imas
batteries. An explosion occurred nt
Elmns.
Several Turkish ships fled Into the
strait nt the approach of the Russian
fleet, but two Turkish vessels, a large
steamship with a heavy cargo, and a
large sailing vessel flying the Persian
ting were cut off and sunk by n Russian
cruiser. Returning northward along tho
Bulgarian coast tho warships encountered
another Turkish sailing vessel. Tho
crew was taken off and the Bhlp sunk.
PLAN CHILD LABOR WORK
Education Heads, Pleased by Passage,
Prepare to Carry Out Provisions.
The passage of the child labor bill by
the Stato Scnato last night was the sub
ject of lively discussion today at tho
headquarters of tho Board of Education
In the Stock Exchange Building.
John C. Frazce, chief of the Bureau
of Vocational Guidance, Bent h con
gratulatory telegram to Governor Hrum
baugh. Tho Department of Superin
tendence had Indorsed the bill before it
was passed by the House.
Henry J. Gideon, chief of tho Bureau
of Compulsory Education, was partic
ularly plensed with the Governor's suc
cess. One feature of tho measure, pro
viding that the employer must return a
child's working certificate to tho school
authorities as soon as he is discharged
or quits his Job, was enacted because
of Mr. Gideon's efforts to keep children
In school when they are out of employ
ment. The Department of Superintendence will
submit plans to the Board of Education
for the organization of continuation
schools, provision for which Is made In
the bill. General plans for the forma
tion of the new classes will be con
sidered before next June, and tho classes
will be organized when the new school
year begins In September. Tho net pro
vides that these schools, which provide
training to children while they nro en
gaged in the industries, Bhall be estab
lished before January 1, 1316.

CLEVELAND, May 4. Representatives
of miners and operators here, in an ef
fort to terminate the strike which has
tied up mining In eastern Ohio for more
than a year and kept 15,000 men Idle,

ference began.

"POP" CONCERT MUSIC HAD TO COAX
CROWD TO TRY SMOKES AND DRINKS
"Classical" Tradition Hung Heavy Over die Audience in the
Academy Until Stokowski Got the Peer Gynt Elves and
Gnomes lumping Off the End of Hte Magical Baton.
Something of what popular concerts wli
be when the people get trained In tho
way of them, with one every night for tho
next two weeks, could ho fairly well
guessed nt tho Academy of Music last
night, when Leopold Stokowski, waving
his arms on high, brought "The Star
Spangled Banner" out of the Philadelphia
Orchestra In n way that made memories
of Sousa seem academic and splnelesB.
Tho people Just Jumped up nnd cheered
and upset tho lemonade tumblers nnd
ginger ale bottles on the tnbles with
which tho boarded-over parquet wns
filled, because they'd never heard "The
Star Spangled Banner" played thnt way,
and then the men lit up their cigars and
sat back to dream through the rnv.shlng
"Blue Danube" of youth nnd first love
again.
All that was "popular" enough, but It
would ho much more popular If every
body could smoko nnd drink, themselves,
Instead of watching those nt the "5-ccnts-n-seat
pariuot tables do It for them. But
It wan a nrcat start In the right direc
tion. Tho nudlcnco was n long time wnklng
up to the fact that it wns supposed to
have a good time Instead of Just listen
to good music There wore tho tables and
the waiters ready for orders, yet nobody
ordered anything for upward of nn hour,
nnd only a very few men seemed to havo
tho temerity tn smoke, though all tho
time the orchestra wns coaxing them .to
forget Arndemv traditions. It was par
ticularly Irritating tn people In the bal
cony and tho rest of tho house. They
wanted to see somebody "buy"; If they
wouldn't, well, let them tnke their elbows
oft those trfblcs and allow thltsty folk
elsowliero to get a chance at them nnd
tho dilnks and smokes that sitting nt
them ought to mean.
Even the wnltcrs felt awed hy the ter
rible tradition of "classical music" hov
ering over that hrmo of the muses. They
crouched like gnomes on the floor nnd
only dared to spring up nnd offer their
lemonade troys and baskets of cigars
when tho npplausn broke out. Then, the
next moment, Slokowskl would rnlsc his
linton and down they would dive on all
fours again. They seemed to ho real live
young men, at thnt, who had learned
how to carry n dozen beer mugs In each
hnnd nt Schuelzen Vereln picnics up nt
Ontinl Park.
Ilaendel's "Largo" frightened the life
out of them, nnd thoy seemed to want
to sink through the floor, for tho gentle
men were choking their cigarettes and
looking solemn. But the next minute
the wild rhapsodies of a Brahms Hun
garian dance were tearing the air Into
tntters and the wnltcrs were running
about nnd answering with sad shakings
of tho head forgetful folks' orders for
things that wcirn't to be had. No, only
soft drinks.
There were some people that simply

Will Tell Grand Jury Story of Misap
plication of Funds.
LEBANON. Pa., May 4. Arthur J.
Hoverter, the young life Insurnnce agent
who Is charged with having aided the late
Alvln Dinner, as cashier of the First Na
tional Bank of Schaefferstown, In the
misapplication of more than $13,000 of tho
bank's funds, wns taken to Sunbury to
day to appear before tho Grand Jury for
the I'nited States Court of the Middle
District. Hoverter has already pleaded
guilty to the offense of which ho Is
charged, and it is expected hero that ho
will lay bare before the Grand Jury nil
of his transactions with Cashier Dinner,
whose suicide on February 4 last led to
the discovery that the bank had been
looted of upwards of $50,000 of Its cash.
Hoverter has steadfastly malntnlned
thnt prominent persons other than ho llg
ured largely In the transactions, receiving
considerable sums of the money, nnd his
statement under oath before the Grand
Jury. If supported by the findings of
the Department or Justice. It Is believed
will result In Indictments being found
against certnln of the men nccuscd by
Hoverter.
The Government has long been In pos
tesslon of Hoverter's complete statement,
but has carefully guarded the Identity
of the men accused, meanwhile conduct
ing nn exhaustive examination Into every
phase of the statement.
Hoverter left here at S o'clock this

Two Grievances Afjrainst Lehigh Up

POTTSVILLE. Pa.. Mny 4. The Al..

grievances from this region against the
Lehigh Valley Coal Company nnd re
jected a third grievance, which was
against the Philadelphia and Rending

grievance was that of John Kesslcr, em
nloved nt Packer No. 4 colliery, who
asked for an Increase of wages restor- I
Ing the $13 a week standnrd fixed by the
commission In 1W)2. The wages of Nich
olas Becker, watchman at Packer No. fi
colliery, wcro restored from 13 6-10 cents
an hour to 15 3-10 cents nn hour.
Because the labor nnd quantity of work
had diminished the wnges for yardagu
work had been reduced to contract at

refused to believe the advice the music
was constantly giving; namely that to
night the main point was sandwiches nnd
lemonade and cigarettes nnd small talk
nnd that music came second ns a mere
accompaniment to these more funda
mental needs. Two women In a parquet
circle box had their escort run out for
ham sandwiches and ginger ale The
sandwiches came bnck In wax paper
Then came the task of unpeellng a ham
sandwich while "Lohengrin" wns going
on. Rip, went the wnx paper, and tho
sound mnde a stern old music-lover In
tho next box almost turn Inside out. He
fairly snorted at her.
She had a sense of humor and shook
with painfully compressed laughter ?jid
rip went tho hnm sandwich cover ngaln,
nnd the old man wns shaking like n leaf
with fury over his spoiled 'Lohengrin ,
Then she made a bold tear, and the
crliklo-crnckle of the paper came all at '
once, nnd her tortured neighbor got up
nnd went out to .he popping of tho
ginger ale bottle cork.
Tho first breaking of this esthetic Ice
came when Stokowski got the orchestra
worked up over the "Peer Gynt" BUlte, so
thnt when thev got to "The Hall of tho
Mountain King." tho youthful leader, rid
ing his long and perfectly developed cres- .
cendo like the demon of nn elfin storm,
brought the kettlo drums banging down
like machine uns and seemed to be shak
ing the Mountain King's elves nnd gnomes
oft the end of his twitching wnnd like a
magician. Then, those other gnomes,
while people cheered nnd went wild and
made Stokowski play It all over again, got
up the nerve to jump up nnd run around
nnd cnll out "Cigars' Lemonado!" right
In the midst of the music nnd nobody
minded It n bit.
There was n long Intermission, which
gnvo the people In tho 10, 25 and GO cent
scats a chance lo wnlk out In the corri
dors nnd tat hnm sandwiches. Tho so
loists seemed a bit out of place at this
kind of popular -oncert, though Wosslly
Beseklrsky did wonderful things with the
wild, Bweet gipsy strains of Snrasnte's
"Zlgcuncrwelscn," nnd won hli audience
on Bnch's famous O-strlng variations ns
nn encore.
Mildred Fnas sang nn nrln from "Cnr
men" nnd Bcmberg's "Nymphs nnd
Fauns," ,tnd wns very pleasing In splto
of an air nf rothcr conscious correctness.
And then enmo that "Stnr-Spnngled
nanner" mixed up with "Dixie" (yes. they
alt clapped and cheered It), and "Suwnnce
Itlvcr" blasted out an the brass like Wil
low Grove. Thaddeus Rich and C. Stanley
Mnckcy will conduct nt the other con
certs. There was "llttln to be desired" in the
management of things, except tho Inck of
lemonado tn tho balconies during the mu
sic. And one other thing thnt ought to bo
done Is to give the w alters smnll portuble

J. UNIONS MAY DEMAND
CHILD LABOR INVESTIGATION
State Body Has Indorsed Administra

ATLANTIC CITY. May l-Nnunrk dele
gates In the nnuunl convention of the
Building Trades' Alliance of the New Jer
sey Federation of Labor, meeting In this
city, today caused ti sensation by threat
ening to demand nn Investigation of child
labor conditions.
While New Jersey factories are ndmlrn
bly equipped with regard to fire protec
tion, the nonenforcemeut of regulations
against the emplojment of children Is
snM to be llnginnt. A declaration to that
effect would place the State Alliance In
nn Inconsistent uttlttude, because It hurt
been particularly Etrong In Its support of
Labor Commissioner Bryant's administra
tion. Every trades union tn the State is to
bo enlisted In the fight against Asscmbly
mnn Lewis Stevens, of Cape May, chair
man of the House Committee on Labor
and Industries during the last session,
nnd five other House mcmbeis. three of
whom nie from Essex. Steven Is said
to have been especially conspicuous In

aroused the Interest of the commission
particularly It wns thnt In which hl
stated he had been npproached on one
ocenston by a mnn, presumably n Penn
sylvania Ratlrond detective, who called
his attention to the fact that certain

of tho Brotherhoods nre shadowed In

everywhere else they go by the secret
service operatives of the Pennsylvania.

organizations are made to tho Pennsyl
vania, Railroad officials. Interruptions of
