GOOD CITY BILLS PICKLED
Fate of Mayor Moore's Legisla
tion Shows Power of
Vare3 at Work
By OEORGR NOX McCAIN
narrlsbtirg, April 21. There 1st n
tremendous amount of bluster nnd bluff
being rnlsed In Harrlsburg jiiHt now.
It Is the closing of the legislative scs
flona and Is the season for the usunl
outbreak of jnr.z politics.
The latest development, as I pointed
ont In yesterday's dispatches, , Is tho
projection of Senator Penrose's person
ality Into the melee.
It comes In a very dignified and Pen
roslnn .fashion, though, through Auditor
(icncral -elect Lewis, the senntor's per
mnitl friend. It Is n warning to the
Ascmbly against reckless extravngsnee
and an admonition to go slow In the
matter of appropriations.
It would have been better bod the
fenator's advice been given n trifle ear
lier In the session. The legislators have
lind their appetites whetted for blood
and they would loot the treasury for
their pet schemes If the law permitted.
Clout for One Sclieme
One of the latest and boldest attempts
tn foist on the state a new set of office
holders, with unheard-of power, re
ceived a clout In tlje House last night.
It was Representative Alexander, of
Dilawarc, who exposed the scheme.
The bill was Introduced by Represen
tative llfuett, of Philadelphia, some
time ago. Its author and architect was
said to be former Attorney (Seneral
Francis Khunk Hrown. It bore the
benevolent title of "An net for the re
lief of persons, co-partnerships nnd as
sociations from certain completed and
uncompleted contracts entered into with
the commonwealth and which on ac
count of the war caused them financial
lois."
In brief, it proposed to establish a
board of claims to relievo the con
tractors, because It is known that the
commonwealth cannot be sued In the
courts.
When the bill renrhed the Senate
Mmebody knocked out the title nnd
revamped the bill till it was almost
unrccognmiblc.
Would AIkiIIsIi Appeals
It came back with the distinct prop
osition to create n new "court of
claims ' of three members with the
power of a regulated court, but (and
hero was the unheard-of proposition)
from whose findings there cimim be no
appeal. The exact wording of this part
ot the extraordinary act reads:
"Whenever, nfter hearing nnd de
termination of any claim us aforesaid,
the board shall find in fnor of the con
tractor and tlx the nmount to which
the contractor Is entitled, the nmount so
fixed shall be final itnd conclusive
onanist the contractor and the com
monwealth without tight of nppeal."
The whole bill was a flimsy attempt
to help n lot of contractors, but it was
M clumsily diaphnnous that Its pur
pose whs revealed nt once. The fact
that the whole of tbc original measure
had been eliminated nnd a new bill sub
stituted gave the tiling away. Action
by the Ilousa sent it back to the Sennte
with the word that tho House refused
to concur in the amendments.
Major's Hills I'lchled
Of interest to the city is tho fact that
nil of Major Moore's bills have gone
into the Vnre pickling vat, there to soak
unmolested until thej rot uway in obliv
ion It is unfortunate that matters have
worked themselves around to such n
state that nothing from Philadelphia
can get rt cognition unless It bears the
Mump of the Vnre organization.
And the legislative material that or
ganization has passed Is of Mich a char
acter that It will not bear close sciutlny.
Ihe I'mleivvood bills, the measures to
disrupt the police force, und the cijuiil
rights bill, which threw the Senate into
n uinnlption tit and resulted in n ills
j'luj of bad blood, the exhibition of a
lot of sol) stuff and pseudo-religious
sentiment, are examples of the lattei.

AUTOIST IN "BORROWED"
CAR ROBBED, QUESTIONED
Is Detained Even If He Gives Police
Tip on Stolen Machine
Thomas L Monnghnn, '.2712,'orth
.Tudson street, played doubly In hard
luck this morning for he was detained
nt the Sedglcy guardhouse for driving ft
friend's car without permission when
ho came there to report that; two high
wnjmon had Just robbed lilmNif $108.
Monaghnn had taken the number of
the car which the high wny men drove,
nnd by a curious coincidence It was
found to be that of a car just stolen
from C. Ilrooks Jones, of Cjnwyd.
The car Monaghau urove wns the
property of Alfred K. Hogarth, 111211
West Lehigh avenue. He reported to
the police that it bad been taken from
tht garage without his permission.
At 1:15 o'clock thlH morning Monn
gban was driving the car over Lincoln
drive w hen he wns stopped by two armed
men in another machine nt the Intersec
tion of Pnbst lone. They covered him
with revolvers and took his money. All
he got in return wns the number of
their car, 1(12,120. He Imparted this to
the pnrk guards when he went to re
port the hold-up. A "filer" just re
leived showed thnt this enr had been
stolen from the corner of Sumac und
Frcelnnd streets Inst evening.
MOONSHINE LID ON TONIGHT
Eclipse Commences at 1 1 : 57 o'clock.
Ends at 4:32 A. M. Tomorrow
There positively will be no moonshine
in Philadelphia or anywhere else in
the I'nlted States from 2:23 o'clock un
til .'1 :05 o'clock tomorrow morning.
The phenomenon will have no rela
tion to "dry" enforcement, but will be
due to n total eclipse of the moon, vis
ible nil over the country.
Knrly sleepers hero will have to set
their alarm clocks for n few minutes
before 11 :57 o'clock if they want to
see the darkening of the moon begin.
Precisely nt thnt time the grent silvery,
orb will slip Into the outer shadow of
the enrth.
The totality of the cllpso will begin
nt 2 :S.1 o'clock nnd end nt S :05 o'clock.
The eclipse will be over at 4 :42 o'clock.
The moon hns no light uf Its own and
the moonlight simply Is reflected solar
light. Lunar eclipses are caused by the
earth coming between the sun and the
moon.
Although the earth will shut off all
the light from the moon during the to-
tal eclipse the big round globe .which
gives mankind a foothold will send some
light to the moon. As n result ob
servers will be nble to see the moon
iriml. It probably will have a dull
reddish color.

tailed on nil organizations nnd citizens
to bnc't the Millar bill now in the Leg

Commission to inestlgnte rcntnls, ami

governing theso rentals based on the
commission's conclusions regarding the?

With this nuthorlty conferred on the
commission, Mr. Harle stated, all ques
tions of law arMng from nny orders
of th commission could be settled by tin
nppeal to the Superior and tho Supreme
I'ourtn.
No Attach on Contracts
"The Millar bill Is not nn attack on
contracts," Mr. I'arle continued, "but
nnlj n method of procedure by which
the lights of the public, under such
contracts, may be ilttrrmined by the
courts! Unless these rents arc regulated
by a Judicious commission anil passed (in
by thti courts, the transit question in
Philadelphia can never be solved. Nn
rnto of fare can be charged high tnough
to tnho rare of a present und unified
system of tho city's high-speed lines."
The business association today sent
to tho Public Service Commission n pro
test against the coutlniinncc of seven
cent fnrei bv the P. It. T.
The organization contends the In
crease in fares goes largely to meet
alleged exorbitant rentals paid to the
underlying companies of tho P. It. T.
The complainants contend If the P. It.
T. requires more money to progress und
mnke necessary extensions, this may bu
obtained through a reduction in rentals
to the subsidiary concerns.
A House bill giving transit com
panies the right to operate nutobuses
and "trackless" trollevs on nil streets
of this city, wns condemned today b)
C, Oscar Heasley, counsel for the United
Huslncss Men's Association.
Mr. Heasley said the bill would pre
empt the streets of Philadelphia for
the P. It. T. Co. because another lnw
forbids giving two charters for the
same streets nnd the P. It. T. now has
a monopoly of the streets here.
arlnus business nrgnnlrntlnns have
sent protests against the measure, which
is on the' Sennto calendur for final
passage. It has passed the House.

THEFT OF SEIZED

'Squarest of Dry Agents! Might

He Says
REAL WATER, NOT LIQUOR,
MAY BE IN BARRELS NOW
"An inside job" wns resnonslble for
the theft of 'Vvcral tnousnnd dollars'
worth" of liquor front the Fulernl
Hullding.
This wns admitted todny by J. fJ
Slonnker. prohibition enforcement of
ficer, who jesterdny minimized reports
of the liquor theft.
The Department of Justice is readj
to investigate ns soon as it is supplied
with tangible evidence.
Water or Liquor In Those Harrels?
I "I don't know whether the bnrrels
In the seizure room contain liquor or
water now," Mr. Slonnker snld. "It
Is Impossible for me to know until n
cureful examination has been made."
He nld the liquor had been tnken
from tho room by thieves who cut n
door. This afternoon Mr. Slonnker
ordered four heavy locks, known ns "In
tcrnnl revenue locjts," upon the seizure
room, Tliese locks are sealed anil rcg
Ister every time they are opened.
Mr. Slonnker said he did not want
to mnke direct charges ngnlnst nn.v
of his agents, but that If nny were le-
sponslhle for the theft they would be
nnswernble to him."
Officlnls of the Department of Justice
toon n contrary view ot the sltuntlon.
i A representative of the district attor
neys oltice snlil If it were proved that
any agents had rifled the seizure room
the guilty persons would be nnswernble
to tne goM'rnment ana not to .Air.
Slonnker.
Complaints Awaited
These officlnls reiterated their will-
ignness to stnrt nn Investigation should
nn.v complaints be made to them. Thev
made It plain, however, thnt until com
plaints nre made, they will hnve noth
ing to do with the mntter.
Mr. Slonnker said that even tho
xquurost of. agents might hnve been
tempted by the enormous prices offered
for liquor of nny sort. The placing of
the sealed locks on the doors, he said.
would undoubtedly eliminate the possl
bllity of loss of seized liquor from tills
source.
"Nigger In the Woodpile"
In n statement Issued yesterday the
prohibition officer minimized the pro
portions of the reported theft. Hi
snld then that the only losses he knew
of would nmoutit to not more than n
"few hundred dollars."
"Say this much for me," said Mr.
Slonnker todny. "There Is a 'nigger lu
the woodpile' somen hero nnd I will do
all I enn to see he Is brought to light."
In addition to Mr. Slouaker, another
government officer responsible for the
seizure room is Agent Gardner. He Is
attending lourt hearings In Newark.
