An unsuccess ful attempt was "made today to put the Rorke bill, allowing -Sunday con certs, and motion picture .entertainments. on the tHouse calender. .The vote was 20 .for and 139 against the resolution. The action was taken regardless ot, the fact tliat, iho bill already has been nega tively acted on In committee. Representative Rorke Introduced a resolution to put his measure, repealing the. old blue laws of the state, on the calendar. In presenting the .measure Mr, Rorke attacked the attitude of John It. K. Scott, chairman, of the committee which handled the measure and the lead er of Rorke's legislative district. During the course- of Rorke's re marks, he referred to Scott ao' the "nar row chairman" and made" references to 'paid lobbyists'' who worked against the "measure. Then Representative Fowler, Luzerne, a labor leader, attacked the measure as one which was against the best interests of Philadelphia. PetlUons "opposing the measure -were introduced by Representa tives Dunn, Sterling and Franklin, of Philadelphia. Members of the House opposed the Rorke resolution because they wanted to avoid a roll call. Rorke demanded a roll call. He 'declared the "masses who were. for the bill were entitled to fair play." Representative W. T. Ramsey, admin istration floor leader,- and Representa tive Heyburn, Delaware, both urged that the bill be placed on the calendar aB a matter of fair play and a vote taken. Soth announced they .would vote against the 0)111. Nine riilladelpldane Far Bill Nine 'of the forty.-one Fhlladelphlans In tha House voted for the bill. They are Aron; Bald!, Conner; Dl Lemmo.

The other was fastened in the semi-conscious man's coat collar. Aa soon ns the man had been dragged ashore the sailor turned about" and swam bac;c to where vic tims were trying, more or less effectu ally, to keep 'afloat. He gripped a second man who, terrified beyond nls wit's, tried to struggle with him. Klrrane had a desperate fight to get the lialf-crazed man to shore. This time those who took the half-drowning vic tim from him urged him to climb ashore himself. Ills teeth chattering so that he could- not talk, the sailor shook his head and grimly swam back for a third time in the almost freezing water. arly Loat Ills Life 'He caught hold of a third victim who was helpless. Then began a fight in which the rescuer nearly lost his life.

"'Why a little swim won't hurt me,' he said," After a little while the mother added: "He's- always been like that. Ever since he was a little boy he has always thought of other'people first.
