Senate today. Tlio proposnl, chnrnctcr

There npponrs tn be no (iiicstlon but

contractor in the world," nrc nsking
questions, They snv it may lie. neccs
tnrv for Senator Penrose' to "get on

The nnthrnolte tnx bill passed in the
House yesterday by n vote of 12," in
favor and 03 ngnlnst, nnd goes to the
Senate for final netlon.
Full Force Mustered
There was some opposition to the bill,
in fact, the larRest opposition that has
vet been rolled up against any Hproul
Administration measure. That was
largely due to the fact that there were
members from the hard coal counties
who voted against the bill. nlthntiRh
they are usually found in the rnnks of
Arlmlni'trntlon supporters Lenders ot
the Orundy faction, like Representatives
Vl.vim nnd Hess, voted ngnlnst the
measure. The Oliver faction did not
join them In nny nnti-Admlnlstrntlnn
demonstration, for more Oliver men
voted for the measure than voted
jicalnst it. The Leslie men of Alio
chenv supported the bill, with one ex
ception. Most of the soft-coal region
men nln supported it.
A surprise in the voting was flint
there were eleven I'lillndelphln lueni
Jiits recorded in the negative. They were
Itepresentntlves Ilnlill, Itluctt. (Sreen,

the Trniner group nro definitely out
side the rnnks of the "Combine." The
men friendly to Trainer, ns the Moore
leader up here, nro Sinlnk. Green and,
perhaps, Bluett. Representatives Kd
inonds nnd Campbell, who also belong
to this group, voted In the affirmative,
(ribbons Attacks Hill
The rcmnlndcr of the I'lil'ndrlphin
1 members voting In the negative are of
both Vnro anil Penrose factions.
The prlnclpnl address ngainst the bill
was made by Representative Gibbons, of
Wilkes-Ilnrre, who objected to it on
the ((round that It was n tnx dlscrimi
nntlng aKiiiust the hard-coal regions of
the Stnlo.
In answering bis objections, Reprc
Hfiitative Williams, of Tioga, sponsor
of the bill, gave llRiires of coal mining
for man) enrs back, nnd snld that, for
decades, Pennsylvania's natural re
sources had been taken nway, never to
be replaced, nnd that the Slate should
have some recompense for these depleted
resources.
He said thnt on the basis of the ton
nnije mined hit 11)20 the State would
have received a revenue last year of
S 000.(107 if the present tnx had boon
in cITect.
Representative Ogle, of Somerset,
asked why the orlglnnl provision penal
izing the coal companies for adding more
than the nmouut of the tnx to the price
of cal had been taken out. In reply
Mr Williams referred him to Retire
tentative Dnwson, of Scranton. chair
man of the Wayn and Moans Commit
tee Mr. Dnwson said bo had been re
fponvihlc for the change nnd had done
it because the original bill required the
levjinjr of the tnx on each individual
ton of coal, which would bo tinfnlr to
the coal iiuliiHtrv.
lti'liro-ontntlvo Fowler, of Scranton,
toe labor lender in tl" H'"i' nlsa
jP'ike against the bill. Ho said the tn
Ing of the anthracite Indi.htrv win un
flr, since no single industry should he
eingieu out. lie also sniu he (IK not
want the price of coal Increased, be
cause il would he Iilitiln-fl nn mlne.lnhnr.
and the public would sny their demands
ior wages were keeping up the price oi
coal,
'Tolls of Heneflts
Representative Dewey, of TIorii,
fniled the debate with ropsinp adjura
tion tn the members not in ref usf to
Nippon the bill, simply becnuso it van
uppnsed by l.lfe business Interests He
fld Pennsylvania u led better schools,
better hlghwiiyH und n better forestry
KVitein, and this tax wns needed to
Wipplj these tbiiiRs.
After thnt, the vote was taken, nnd
resulted In n victory for the Adminis
tration. The bill now goes to the
oenntc.
It is believed the nntlirncltc coal tax
mil join the other revenue measures In
the Senate Flnnnco Committee, and
font nil will be brought out for final
disposition early next week.
All the tnx bills are In Senate Com
lulttee. The gnsolino tax will probably
be amended ho ns to define gasoline,
and exempt from taxation nil gasoline
not used for motor trnllic on the blgh
W")n. It is likely that the theatre tax
may bo amended so as not to apply it to
the gross receipts of theatres! but to
emli ticket sold, wllch will supply n
method more to the liking of theatre
interests of assessing the tax, us each
tuket Is Hold, just ns the Federal tux
is now nshosscd.

LEDGER- PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, APRIL 21, 1921
Finds Real Sense
in Bacon's Cipher
Contlnunl from Pakc One
through the laborious nnes. when sclen
tlsts progressed little by little to their
position.
Study of the Rocnnlnn cypher has
revealed, Dr. Xcwbnld said, thnt much
of the knowledge considered strictly a
modern development wns well known to
the medieval monk. IJecause he feared
his theories might conflict with the nc
ccpted notions of the day too strongly
for ills own snfety, Dr. Xewbold be
lieves, Ilncon hid them nwny under the
difficult layers of his cypher.
Used Strange Jargon
"As it is difficult to write sense when
hampered by tho rules of cipher" which
Ilncon used," snld Dr. Now lurid, "Iln
con 'usually shields himself from stis
plclnn ,by writing in the strange Jargon
of the alchemists. Few people under
stood it, nnd so he could write nonsense
without arousing suspicion.
He probably was successful beyond his
fondest dreams. For more thnn six
hundred years this preposterous non
sense in which ho professes to toll how
to mnko gold has been ntudied by gold
seekers. It has been translated into
most modern languages, and "few have
suspected that it was all n honx. This
cipher Latin is found in several of
lineon's printed works, nnd there exist
In lnnuiiscript other alchemical vorks,
probably of the same character.
"The text of this manuscript seems
to consist of n mixture of Rmnnn and
cipher letters. In fcallty nil nre mere
slinniM, having no meaning i)s fur ns nt
present known, llacon's true alphabet
is very simple. It consists of twenty
two litters derived from (Jreek short
hnnd. AH the letters nre either straight
lines oi simple curves mnde nt various
nnglcs to the base line. Out of them he
bulls tip ills bogus letters, concealing
them by many ingenious devices."
Dr. Xewbold snld that it might be
possible to translate the Iliicnnlnu text
ns n whole, In spite of the troinondow
difficulties which the old schoolman had
put in the way of coininentntors. The
speaker cited numerous scientific dis
coveries mnde by Ilncon nnd cnncenled
in liis cypher, rediscovered nt grent
pains nnd nfter innny years by more
modern investigators.
Hail Problem Discussed
Dr. Jobnspn, speaking on the rail
road problem, snld the government
should procjcd with plniis for the group
ing of n'l rnilrojds into n limited num
ber of competing systems of compara
tively equal strength.
"Any (lisciis.(loh of the transportation
problems now confronting the Amer
ican people," said Di. Johnson, "must
be based upon the nssumptlon that rail
road transportation can bo successfully
developed qnly by adhering to private
ownership nnd operation. If the peo
ple of the United Stntes become discour
aged or bewildered and adopt govern
ment ownership, American rnilronds
will grndun'ly pass Into u stnto of
comn, nnd over industry will slowly
come u creeping paralysis."
