llarrlsburg, April IS. Apparently an
agreement has been reached among leg
islative leaders over the week-end by
the terms of which revenue measures will
be pawed presiding approximately $12.
OOO.OOO n ycnF additional revenue. All
indications arc that the funds required
for the Finegnn program for n state
wide Improvement of the school system
are to he provided more liberally than
was thought possible n Week ago. Also
Glfford Plnchot, the state forestry chief,
is to get a few millions which It was
thought he would not get.
The revenue misers, however, are
Hill ligorously opposed nnd thoe who
havo battled for economy nnd retrench
ment aro rcljiug on last minute
tricks and parliamentary plays to win
their objective. Tor it appears to bo
conceded thnt there Is n good chance of
the revenue raisers passing the Senate
most of them hnvc already pa(.ed the
House "lint," whisper those opposed
to the new taxes, "they may be recnlled
from the (lovernor In .the very Inst hours
of the session." Hack of nil thU is the
growing rivalry between Senator Pen
rose nnd (iovernor Hproul for ultimate
control of the Legislature. Hlg politics
in being played on both sides nnd on the
result will depend new political njid
factional alignments in tho state 'and
In Philadelphia, with rnmitlcntlons run
ning to all sections of the common
wealth. Maze of Intrigue
There is feeling prevalent thnt Sena
tor Penrose counts on the support of
the Houso nnd that Governor Hproul
counts on tho support of the Senate.
And running through it all is n maze of
Intrigue, back stairs gossip and the re
sorts of snake amendments. Control of
the Legislature Ih not the big issue ; it
appears to be control of tho state or
ganization. On the one side is n newly
opened field of udditlonnt state patron
ate and on the other is the now avail
able rich resource of federal nntrnnngc.
The coming municipal elections in Phil
adelphia and Pittsburgh, the coming
fight for tho succession to I'nited States
Senator Knox and tho control of the
next gubernatorial primaries are nil in
volved. And apparently there Is a sus
picion that the Penrose leadership can
not rely on the Vnre leadership for help ;
b'enator Penrose Is endeavoring by va
rious means to mnke his Influence felt.
He appears to feel that his best ohnnec
of that, up to this time, is in the Mouse.
The question us to the Senate would
not be raised until tho effort should be
made to recall the revenue-raisers from
the hands of the Governor. Indicative
f the Penrose attitude is his declara
tion tlmt he is opposed to the pnssagu
of tho bill which would end the uonpnr
tUnn sjstem of municipal elections in
Pittsburgh nnd Sernnton. This bill is
now m the House, after having pnti.ed
the Senate with tho backing of the
Hproul forces. Likewise the F.yrc bill,
repealing tho full -crew law Ih on the
third reading ealendnr In the upper
chamber and then goes to tho House.

Supremo Court Holds Murderi
Conviction Was Obtained
on Error
COUNSEL SEE ACQUITTAL
Hobcrt M. T.oomis won another
chnnce for his liberty today in the de
cision of Justice Sndlcr, of the State
Supreme Court, that T.oomls hnd been
convicted of second -degree murder in
erior.
"We're going to keep on fiKhtlng un
til we get him free," sold Snmuel W.
Cooper, Ihilndclphln lawyer, when told
of the Supreme Court's decision. "It Is
mighty good news the court has given
him nnother trinl. This time I think
we'll get him off."
Hehlnd the effort to free Ioomls. who
nt present Is n prisoner in the West
ern Penitentiary, is a rmnrknble. story
of an unlettered man's personality win
ning for him a host of friends among
the educated and inlluentinl.
Loomls used to work on n "dude
rnnch" In Mnntnnn, one of those huge
western farms where the "effete east
erner" is given n chnnce to "live hard"
for nwhile and work up nn nppetite for
llapjncks nnd bacon. I.oomis wns n
"dude wrangler on the ranch, nnd
everybody's friend.
When the I'hilndelphlans he hnd
mnde "stand around" In Mnntnnn heard
he hnd been nrrcstcd In Xorthumptnu
cuunty in 11118. charged with taking
part in a robbery during which a woman
had been killed, they rallied to his aid.
Hen nl of Ciimj Ily Accident
"I heard of the ense by accident,"
said Mr. (Jooper. when told today of
the Supremo Court's decision. "At thnt
time I.oomis had been convicted and
was in the penitentiary under sentence
of dentil. II was in the summer nnd
the Supreme Court wns nbout to nil
journ.
"From nil I could lenrn nbout the
case. It was a lot of buncombe nnd flap
doodle, anil the young fellow wasn't nnv
more guilty than I wns. So I Jumped
in and petitioned the court."
Mr. Cooper intervened ns "amicus
curiae" a "friend of tho court" and
succeeded in getting n new trial for
young I.oomis. A mnn named Shrope.
Indicted with I.oomis, was to have been
the stnr witness for the commonwealth
nt the second ns he hnd bceu nt the first
trinl, but when the ense cume up wns
confined in mi Insane asylum.
The testimony given by Shrope nt the
first trial was rend nt the second, nnd
I.oomis again convicted, though onlj
of second decree murder, where it hnd
been first degree nt the former trial.
An nppenl wns taken from this verdict
becausu the prisoner hnd not been con
fronted In court with the crazy man,
whose testimony was used against him,
and because the commonwealth aban
doned as worthless some finger-print
evidence they had used in the lirst trial.
Today's decision is on this second
nppenl.
Iiomls hnd mnny friends nmong
wealthy people In this city. They ralseil
n fund by subscription for such neces
sary costs ns printing the pnwr books
used In the appeals. Toomls Is de
scribed ns n handsome, clear-eyed youth
you "doesn't look like a crook," ns his
attorney snld today, "and isn't one."

Mr. Itosenbniim pointed out thnt the
underlying companies based their ar
gument on the contention that the com
mission only hnd jurisdiction over rates
and service. In this ense, be snld. the
term 'service' in the net miiRt be con

"Public service consists of two

"It excused them from pnrt of those
obligations. The subsidiary concerns
hnd property devoted to public use.
Thev simply leased their property to

"Wo assert that although the public

C. Oscnr Heasley, representing the
