Not even the full strength of the l'hiladelphia noil Pittsburgh delegation-., wus mutercd for the measure. The combined votes of Philadelphia and Al legheny counties would total slxt -five, but the bill fell nine short of that number. Seven Philadelphia members, in the face of an overwhelming home senti ment, voted against the measure. The seven I'hiladelphiuns to vote "no" were Asbur, Haldi. Dunn, filass, Ileffernan, .MeOwen and Sower. Mar cus did not vote Debate on the lull as not so long as had been anticipated. Itepresentative Franklin Spencer Kdmonds, sponsor of the measure, opened the light for the bill. He rap ped the critics who snid it was a meas ure to "promote golf," and declared it was n meabiire to promote health, thrift and recreution. Quoting from Frank Morrison, secretary of the American Federation of Labor, he showed there were M.OOO fewer acci dents in American industries in 1019 when daylight saving was iu effect. '"The extra hour of sunlight," lie said, "aided the fight on the white plague and in the year the country had daylight saving it saved a million and a quarter of tons of coal." Mr Kd monds declared the bill originally was introduced at tbe behest of the Ameri can Philosophical Society. Representative Jordan, Lawrence. chairman of the House agricultural j committee, led the opposition. He used largely the t.nme arguments put forth I against tbe bill at the hearing last ' week The burden of his speech was i that daytime saving was a failure It J worked hardships to the farmers, and if the neople of the city wanted it tliev could have it without commiting the rest of the state Representative Dawson, sponsor of the local option daylight-saving bill, voted against the Edmonds meat-ure.

Mnrch 115. Oovernor Sprnul will bp called on today by a subcommittee of the House law and order committee and asked for his ad vice as lb legislation providing for state enforcement of the prohibition law To observers It appears that the Martin enforcement bill, drafted by the Anti-Saloon League and containing a search and seizure provision, Is riding through rough waters. Meanwhile, the wet arc highly joy ful as the bill still is in the House committee and ,thcv arc getting the delaj they Fought Oovernor Nproul's original idea was that the llrooka high license law should be amended so as to make it con form to the national law; in this connection, two bills arc offered in the Senate by Senator Hchantz, which would make the state law specify that beverages should not contain a higher percentage of al cohol than Ir prescribed by the national law. In some nuarters it is said that the decision of former Attorney General Palmer, permitting yslelnn to pre scribe beer and wines, has materially hurt the plans of the Anti-Saloon League Therefore suggestion nro abroad that a hill approved by tne state administration will be accepted by the dry leaders in the House if district attorneys, the state police nnd the majors of cities and liurgesses nt nor riughs be put under heavy bond to en force nrohibltion, Some of the "dry" leaders admitted that the Anti-Saloon lchgue's bill can not be passts and that the 1'almer beer decision destroy ed whatever chances It might have had.

In effect It would revo lutionise the whale present method of handing questions relating to public service. ' The McVlcar bill calls for submission to tho Courts, of Common Picas of all matters now taken directly to the Pub He Service Commission, V Interests ag grieved bp the decision of the court would then anneal to the new nubile service commission nnd the next appeal would be to the Supreme Court Aa it Is now, all cases arc taken directly 'to thc commission with an appeal to the Superior Court. 'The Idea," said McVlcar, "Is to have questions affecting public welfarr passed on,(In the community In which they arise. That Is the basic principle our own law and also of the English icommon law. Much Injustice done by the submission of questions of great Importance to tribunals and commis sions far removed from t-he communities In which they nrlse."
