Harrisburg, June 10. The Daix
Brady registration bill.'ripping out the
present board of registration commis
sioners, in Philadelphia, passed the
House this." afternoon by a vote" of
130 to 52.
Thisjs oho of the companion mcas-J
urcs to ,thej 'Woodward charter bill in
the program of reform legislation for
the state's biggest city. The Woodward
bill is scheduled to be passed finally by
the House tils afternoon.
The Vare forces vainly tried to save
the present registratibn commissioners.
Tbey wanted the ripper provision
stricken from the measure, but the
House, refused to resolve itself Into a
committee of the whole to consider the
proposed amendment.
Bill Ready for Governor
The registration bill is now up to the
iGovernor for his Signature or veto. The
executive has publicly expressed him
'self as opposed to all ripper legisla
tion. ,
An amendment added to the bill last
night provides for the appointment of a
fifth commissioner. It is anticipated
that if the Governor signs the measure
he may appoint a Penrose man or an
Independent to the new place. v
The House was thrown into a fac
tional row this afternoon over an at
tempt 'to amend tbo registration bill.
Amendments proposed by Represen
tative 'William T. Kamsey. admlnis-

bilr and the appointment of a fifth
commissioner to the present board of
four.
The amendments, submitted by Rep
resentative Ramsey, would have struck
out the ripper feature which pro
vides that the Governor is to ap
point a new board within ten days of
the passage of the act and would have
retained' the present board in office.
Sharp debating In which personalities
were injected marked the row between
the factions over the passage of the
bills.
Immediately following the passage of
the ripper the House considered the two
companion Dalx-Brady bills.
One relates to thejnanner of collec
tion and distribution of ballots and pre
vents the county commissioners from
acting as return judges when they arc
candidates for re-election.
Polling .Place Change
The other prevents the change of a
polling place except on a petition of a
majority of voters living In the division
,tfhere the change is sought,
Mr. Ramsey Immediately Introduced
a motion for the House to resolve itself
nto a committee of the v,ho!e to con
elder the amendments.
Sharp debating' between representa
tives of the, rival factions followed the
introduction of the motion.
Representative William J. Brady,
Philadelphia, one of the sponsors of the
bill, attacked the motion.
Representative Edwin R. Cox, Phila
delphia, one of the Vare floor leaders,
charged bad faith,. Ho sahl there vir
tually had been an agreement to per
mit the House to resolve itself into a
comrolttco of the whole, -

BEING McCAIN'S STORY
OF BATTLE THAT WASN'T
Finish Was as Tranquil as Most
Ardent Pacifist Could Wish,
He Declares
" By GEORGE NOX McCAIX
Stan Correspondent of the Evenlne rnbllc
Irfdcer
Harrlsbtirg, June 10. The fight over
the Philadelphia charter bill ended
abruptly at 11 :21 last night.
The administration amendments were
accepted ns I predicted. v The finish
was as tranquil as the most nrdent
political pacifist could desire. The dove
of peace npver fluttered a pinion. Har
mony n foot thick was spread over the
scene. Itesultantly the big crowd itj
the lobby was disappointed. It had an
ticipated a regular Kilkenny affair.
Indicative of the peaceful purposes jf
nil, the amendments were not even read
to the House. They were, by unani
mous consent, sent off to he printers
and appeared for the first time on the
members' desks this morning.
The finale of this famous tight was
really dramatic. In a moment of im
pressive calm, with the House eager
and waiting for the first move, Mr.
Ilamsay, the administration floor lead
er, rose nt 11 :20, held aloft a handful
of papcis and in a high kejed voice
cried: ".Mr. Speaker, I ask,unanimous
consent for Uie House to go Into com
mittee of the -whole for the purpose of
special amendment."
No Objections Mado
There was not a whisper of objec
tion, and that ended the contest. Dis
trict Attorney Srhnffer, John C. Wln
sto'n, Thomas Itaeburn White and J.
Hnmpton Barnes came up yesterday
afternoon in the limited together and
all the amendments but one were
agreed to before the train rolled into
the Harrlsburg station shedsT
The exception vias the extension of
the penalty for political activity to job
holders on the city pay roll. One or
two chnrterists wanted this held up till
the Governor came back today.
Just before the House met, however,
Attorney General Schaffer Informed the
gentlemen that he would assume all re
sponsibility, that it wasn't necessary to
see the (Joernor and that the amend
ment must go in and it did. '
Incidentally it lifted a burden from
the shoulders of a score of county lead
ers and members as well. Nobody want
ed this lnte plrtse of the struggle to
come to a showdown. I do not think
that there was ever any intention on
the part of Senator Penrose to let it
go that far. He came up last night with
Prothonotnry Harr Walton, saw a few
ipoillliui inruus, UiCt ll)V tint
political friends, met the chiefs of the
-l.. c..i,-j! . r :.,...
L,lu,iT' """ "" " uuu.o,
auiesced in their action In accepting
the Soliauer amendments, went to bed.
and this morning renewed his con
tinuous reception to senators and mem
bers. He intended starting for State
College commencement this afternoon,
but at noon canceled the engagement
Tollco Plan Defunct
The scheme for a metropolitan police
system Is defunct. I understand that
with the assured passage of the AVood
ward bill the Governor is dfsposed to
see what can be accomplished under its
drastic provision. Two years' try-out
of n reformed and otherwise well
regulated police and fire force may
render unnecessary any future con
sideration of the metropolitan idea. Be
sides some of the neighboring counties
who it was imagined would benefit by
the scheme are bitterly apposed to It.
"Fair Play'UE-tpected
The passage of the Dalx-Brady reg
istration bill with u fifth member of
the commission this morning completes
another reform measure. It will not
astonish those who have been watch
ing the course of the bill and who are
in the confidence of Its sponsors, to see
the new commission composed of two
Democrats ofvapproved pedigree and not
imitations of the real articlo; two or
ga'nizatlon men and one out-and-out
representative of the revisionists.
In this, as In those charter amend
ments for which he was assailed, the
Governor, I believe, will adhere to his
nre-electlon pledges of "plaiag farr,"
but at the,1 same time safeguarding the
vital Interests of the city,

DAIX POLICE BILL DEAD
Scheduled Hearing for This After
noon Called Off by Senator Vare
By a Staff Correspondent
Harrlsburg, June 10. The proposed
hearing thitf afternoon on the Dalx po
lice commissioner bill before a Senate
committee has been dropped.
Senator Kdwin H. Vare, chairman of
the Senate committee hich was to have
held the hearing, made the announce
ment. "You can quote me ns sajing that
there is no need of a hearing on the
police commissioner bill, nnd that it is
dead," said Senator Vnre.
The bill, which was introduced by
Senator A. F. Daiv, Jr., provided for
the appointment of a commissioner by
the Governor to take over the manage
ment of the police in Pniladelphia.
Governor Sprotil announced that he
disapproved of such n measure because
it would rob Philadelphia of home rule,
and the measure met with considerable
disfavor among n large proportion of
chnrter revisionists.
The decision to drop the bill wns part
ofa general agreement on Philadelphia
legislation.
