"The law provides.' .Mr. (Jlass ex

his ballot intelligently he may ask for
the assistance of any elector."
"Does that apply to the primary elec
tion as well as to the general eleeton?"
won Mr. Williams's next query.
The House let loose another roar, as
the law does not permit assistance at a
primary election unless the voter makes
an affidavit as to his inability to mark
the ballot.
Mr. Glass got aiound the dilllcult
question by answering that the foreign
language newspapers printed lists of
candidates and carefully explained how
to, mark a ballot prior to the primary
election.
There was a light House when the
vote was taken. Many members who
did not want to go on lecord had sudden
business in the corridors of tlie Capitol

BILL MAY POSTPONE
TRANSIT WORK HERE
Varc Measure Proposes Ref
erendum on Diverting City
Loan Money
Senator Varr will introduce a bill
in the Senate, at the request of
John P. Connelly, City Solicitor, whlqh
provides that a referendum may be taken
upon the question of diverting money
earmarked for public Improvements to
other purposes.
Some weeks ago Mr. Connelly sought
to have an amendment covering the
terms of his present bill offered lo a
hill submitted to tlie Senate by Senator
T. Larry Kyre. Senator Kyrc's bill pro.
vlded for a referendum In third-class
cities. It was designed Co meet a con
tingency here in Ilarrlsburg,' where the
citizens voted money for the erection of
a bridgo nt a certain place. Later It
was found undesirable to erect the
bridge at that location. Opposition to
the amendment by Influential persons
here forced the drafting of the bill which
Senator Vnro received last night.
Supporters of the Taylor plans for
rapid transit declare thnt If such a bill
as Mr. Connelly's should be enacted It
would give opponents of the Taylor
plans an opportunity to disrupt them
and even divert the money earmarked
for the lines to other purposes.
Mr. Connelly asserts the measure he
has drawn Is a meritorious piece of leg.
Islatlon and that the people of Phila
delphia need have no fear that it is
aimed at destruction of the transit pro
gram. "

fiy Ihe Associated Press
New York. March 18. Jeremiah
p'lffo.ry, on trial for alleged seditious
utterances, wns compared lo Joan of
Arc. when his counsel and his brother,
Arthur O'Leary. resumed today the
summing up for the defense.
The attorney made the analogy In
reference to the defendant's activities
In behalf of Irish freedom, stating that
he had been attacked by the government
for his efforts In this direction, nnd told
the Jury they should not allow any
prejudice they might have against
O'Leary to Influence them In rendering
the verdict.
The attorney also referred to the
Dreyfus case In France ami the case
of Parnell In Ireland, In both of which,
he said, "prejudice worked Injustice."
"When the prosecution states ihat
that they were not attacking the Irish
race." said the attorney, "theystate
what Is not the truth. They did begin
to attack the Irish race, but drew back
only when they were told that the per
sons tit the head of the Irish relief luml
were Cardinals Gibbons, Farley and
O'Connell.
"They Jind attacked the Irish bazaar
as in Ihe Interest of Germany," he said,
"until they learned that the 'cardinals
were to supervise the distribution of the
money, then they stopped and now are
declaring they did not attack the Irish
race."
