ROWDYISM IN THE HOUSE
AT moilWATElt MARK
NothlhR Like It Ever Before Wit
nessed in State's Legislative History.
ItAhRISIlUna, May 19. "Uorecplay"
exceeding any similar demonstrations of
the kind In the legislative history of
Pennsylvania has marked tho proceedings
of the House during the last few days.
Fromtlmc Immemorial antics by the law
jnnkers In tho closing period of a session,
and particularly of the last night of a
prolonged sitting, have been regarded as
n "mnlter of course," hut tho rowdyism
by the present body has literally broken
nil records. At times It hns been Impos
sible to keep track of legislative meetings.
Some semblance of order wob estab
lished yesterday afternoon when Speaker
Ambler told the members that the busi
ness of the ilotiso could not be trans
neted unless better order wero main
tnltied On Mnudnv night "sneezing powders"
wnio scattcint tliioughout tho House, and
these, together with malodorous chem
icals, made the nlr so bad that It was
neeoisiiri to open tile windows. A num
ber of persons, among them women, Hero
foiced to leave Speaker Ambler repeat
edly culled the House to order and nsked
that the scattering of the powders bo
stopped The members thlow their flics
of legislative bills Into the olr and at
each other Men who tried to speak on
bltW were howled down.
Conditions were even worse yesterday.
When Ileptcsentatlvo Haldwiu, of Dela
ware County, was speaking, some 30 or
0 members left their seats and crowded
around him, shouting and talking In tho
morning when Representative Hess, of
Lancaster County, was In tho chair, he
was forceil to ask the Sergeant-nt-Arms
to seo that the members went to their
seat Finally Hess wos forced to an
nounce that the roll call on a bill would
not proceed until the members took their
Wilts
During I lie after noon when bills relat
ion to bullfrogs ennui before the House,
shouts. Imitations of frogs and cat-call"
continued Tor several minutes and the
bills were shouted down. Representative.
Harnett of York County, who wns unable
to licnr from his scat In the tear of tho
hull because of tho noise, came down
front and wns bombarded with paper
bulls and copies of the legislative bills
as he minle his way front.
Some of the members believed that tho
disorder and tumult wcio purposely
fostered to shove through questionable
bills under the shield of rowdyism.

Club Steward Found Dead
George Mann. 42 years old, steward at
the Dlrlgo Club, 1S23 North 20th street,
was found dead In his room on the second
lloor of the club today. Physicians at
tha Homeopathic Hospital, where he was
taken, pronounced death due to heart dis
ease. Two burdens at once are hard to man
age at any time. This was made plain to
day to Charles Russell, a Germantown
negro, who Is known thereabout as
"Undo Charlie." Ono of his burdens was
a wheelbarrow consisting of old rags,
bottles and Iron, and the other was within
himself. It was composed of whisky,
beer and gin, Uncle Charlie admitted, and
took a great deal of the push out of him
when he attempted to shove the barrow.
The double load, together with the fact
(hat the negro Is close to three score and
ten, was therefore an unfortunate com
bination. PoUceman Byers saw Charlie trying to
navigate I'ulaskl avenue. He waa en
gineering the wheelbarrow aa though he
feared being torpedoed. Finally ha lost
his course completely and. In trying to
make a sharp turn, the barrow turned
over and pulUd Charlie underneath It.
The cop extracted him from the bottlea
and raga and stood tynx on his feet. But
the negro found It Impossible to remain
perpendicular, for he was as limp as a
piece of wet string. Finally the cop, after
gathering up the Junk, put Charlie on top
pf It and wheeled him to the nearest pa
trol box,.
Mtcr the negro, with both Ida loads,
waa ponveyed to the Qerroantown police
tatlon. When he had recovered hla abU
Ity to stand alone he waa brought before
Magistrate Wrlgley.

"If you keep off, the Ucjuld and attend
to your business, I'll give you a chance,"

tun the Prime Minister's expression, and
will represent a coalition ministry.
However, tho political crisis, which hns
resulted directly from dissension between
First Lord of the Admiralty Winston
Spencer Churchill nnd Baron Fisher, first
sea tout of tho Ailmlinlty. has not yot
been passed. A rovolt is threatened In
the rnnks of tho liberal party, ivhlch Is
now In power.
According to tho Star, a number of dis
gruntled radicals have docldod to go over
to tho opposition In Commons when tho
now national government comes Into
power.
John Bcdmond, lendor of tho Irish Na
tionalists, Is In Ireland nnd so far as
known ho has not been concultcd ns to
Cabinet changes.
Mr. Churchill, who Is reported to liavo
resigned ns First Lord of tho Admiralty,
Is said by the Htar to havo been offered
tho post of Secretary for India, whllo
the poitfollo held by hlin is believed to
hayc been offered to Baron Fisher, who
Is known ns the croatoi of England's mod
ern navy.
Any chance lo bn made in tho Cnblnnt
will not nffect the Prime Minister himself,
tho Foreign Secietnry, Sir Udward Grey,
or "Xmglnnd's policy for tho prosecution
of tho war," Asqulth nimounced.
Tho Tremler stated that ho and Sir Ed
ward Groy, the Secretary of Stato for
Foreign Affairs, would retain their posts
Irrespective of any other changes In tho
Cabinet.
"Absolutely no chango Is contemplated
regarding tho policy of the prosecution
of tho war," said Premier Asqulth. "Any
reorganization of tho Government would
bo for tho war alone, nnd should not he
taken as an Indication that wo aro sur
lcndcrlng or even compromising any of
our political Ideas."

Mcssaggcro, "will answer by giving tho
ambassadors their passports."
This paper, like others, urges Italians
to show every lespect to tho Teutonic
envoys when they depart and also to re
frain from acts of violence against sub
jects of Germany and Austria electing to
remain here.
PARLIAMENT'S ACTION AWAITED.
Italy may order tho mobilization of
her nrmy within 21 hours. A declaration
of war Is not expected until after Parlia
ment meets tomonow to approve tho
Government's war program, and It may
not come for several days.
Many members of the Chamber of Depu
ties are arriving for tomorrow's ses
sion. At loaat 300 members wero In Homo
caily today. Newspapers supporting tho
Salandra Cabinet said sentiment among
mo Deputies was almost unamlmous for
war.
Another session of the Cabinet ad
journed shortly after midnight today.
No statoinont was given out othor than
that tho Government had fully deter
mined on Its policy and would make It
known when the Deputies meet tomorow.
As If by a prearranged plan, students
of tho great universities at-Itomc, Milan,
Pnla, Padua, Naples and Palermo today
marched en masse to military headquar
ters and offered themselves ns recruits.
Similar student demonstrations wero ro
ported In other university cities.
Premier Salandra nnd Baron Sonnlno
wero received In audience by the King
Immediately after tho Turkish Ambas
sador had rcturnctl to his Kmbassy.
The Secretary of tho Austrian Embassy

TtEVOLT AT POLA.
The Idea JCazlonalo reports n revolt at
tho Austrian araennl at Pola, on the Adri
atic. It Is asserted that 10,000 Italians
employed, there came Into conflict with
tho troops and that 50 persons wero killed
nnd n hundrod wounded.
In expectation that one of the first acts
of Italy's participation In tho war will
take place at tho Dardanelles, several
Italian correspondents have gone to
Athens and Mltylcne. Military exports
believe that In addition to sending a large
part of Its fleet to the Dardanelles. Italy
will also dispatch a large expeditionary
force to assist the Allies.
A number of pro-wnr demonstrations
wero scheduled for last night, but all
were called off because of the heavy rain.
Despite the storm several hundred per
sons marched to the French Embassy
nnd cheered for the Allies. M. Camlllo
Barrlere, the French Envoy, made a brief
bpeech nnd then the crowd dispersed.
PROCKDUItE IN PABLTAMENT.
Tho general Impression was today that
Tremler Salandra'a policy will receive
complete Indorsement from Parliament,
though It Is probable that the regular
socialists will vote against any order for
mobilization.
The procedure In Parliament will be as
follows, unless later developments change
the situation:
KlrBt, The Government will present
n measure abrogating the treaty with
Austria, with the request that It be
passed Immediately,
Second. Parliament will then be
asked to vote power to the Cabinet to
deal with the situation oa It sees lit.
A great public demonstration la ex
pected when Parliament reconvenes, as
the day Is to be declared u national boll,
