10 DEAD ARON BILL1
Contract Stroot Cleaning Moas
uro to Amend Charter With
drawn on Senator's Orders
FIREWORKS ACT, IS SAVED
By a Staff Crrnondeit
Harrisburg, April 2. -The Aron bill
to nullify the section of tho Philadelphia
charter whlrh permit the city to do Its
own street-cleaning work Is dcnd.x
XSj one of those odd coincidence)) of
politics Senator Edwin II. Vare. head of
the Philadelphia combine, and Oeorge
V. Coles, onre chairman of the Town
Meeting committee, and late chairman
tit the committee which conducted the
Moore campaign for Mayor, acted Joint
ly as the undertakers.
Although the Incident resulted In the
burial of the Aron bill, It provided one
of those humorous moments which help
to enliven the closing nours of the Gen
eral Assembly.
How mil Was Buried
Here Is how the Aron bill was bur
led by Undcrtnkera Vnrc and Coles:
When the bill camo up on the House
second reading calendar, late last
nlfbt, Hcpreaentntlvo Leopold C. Glass,
the Vare floor leader In tho House, took
the floor and asked that It be post
poned Indefinitely.
In support of this motion for post
ponement Representative Glass rend a
telegram from Coles. It announced that
there was bitter opposition from the
charter revision committee.
Then it ended with the following
pathetic plea to Senator Vare, to whom
It was addressed :
"I hope you will do all you can
to defeat this bill."
The House had a good laugh, Ren
reientatlrc Franklin Hpenccr Edmonds,
the Moore floor' leader in the House.
hook hands with Glass and congratu
lated him, and tho bill was given a de
cent burial.
Fast living Is really one of the con
tributory causes of the death of the
measure. It traveled through the Sen
ate so fnst it loit vitality, going the
entire circuit of the upper chamber
from the time it was Introduced until
it passed finally In thirty-six hours.
Say Drown Opposed It
There Is some talk that Municipal
Court Judge Brown, who nppcars to
be very much interested in the doings
of the Legislature, added his influence
sralnst tho bill in the final moments.
An eleventh-hour attempt to spike the
Pali fireworks bill and destroy Its ef
fectiveness failed in tho House late last
nljht, and the bill was scheduled for
final passage today.
Representative Hugh A. Dawson, of
Lackawanna, offered nn amendment
which proposed to strike out the word
"prohlbit,f and substitute "prevent."
"This emasculates the bill and de
stroys It," yelled Representative Gol
dir, Philadelphia, as aoon as the read
ing clerk finished reading the amend
ment. The House was in an uproar as mem
bets leaped to their feet and howled the
amendment down. ,
Provisions of the bill give cities the
right to regulate the sale of fireworks.
Its passage was advocated by Philadel
phia city authorities and by women and
men connected with civic organizations.
It passed the Senate, but when it
got Into the House, where it was re
ferred to the manufactures committee,
of which Representative Hess, of Lan
caster, is chairman, It was threatened
with the "pickling."
When the administration forces seired
control of the House the fircnorks bill
cme out of committee along with much
(ther bottled-up legislation.

ny GEORGE NOX MeCAIN
Ilftrrisburg. April 28. The General
Assembly of 1021, virtually ended early
this morning In a whirlwind of paper
balls, clownish capers and general tom
foolery. The village cut-up made a
night of It.
The House at wars does this. The dra
matic events of ihe last seventy-two
hours and the election of n new speaker
failed to dampen the members' desire
for n delirious wind-up.
There were the usual committee din
ners and midnight lunches. And there
wan a drop of "hooch" for those who
hankered for It.
Of such were the social features. They
will be forgotten by tomorrow nil ex
cept the headaches.
The political side is the practical
side. Its effects will be lasting.
Conspicuous is the fact that the
Sproul administration in the Inst hours
put over virtually Its entire program,
the program outlined in the Governor's
message at the opening of the session.
Two Tax Measures Die
Two measures, the bills placing a tax
on the gross receipts of amusement en
terprises and upon billboards and ad
vertising sirs, were permitted to dlo
in committee.
A tax on the capital stock of manu
facturing concerns, though originally
contemplated, never reached the stage
of being embodied in a bill.
As distinctive administration meas
ures the following bills will become
laws as soon as the Governor signs
them:
The constitutional convention meas
ure. Bills placing a tax on anthracite coat
and on gasoline for motor purposes.
Increasing the direct collateral Inher
itance taxes.
Creating a new Department of Pub
lic Welfare.
Amending the Brooks high license law
to conform to the Volstead federal pro
hibition law.
Congressional, senatorial, judicial
and legislative reapportionment.
Broadening and bettering the entire
state public school system.
Providing for an enlarged forestry
service and the rehabilitation of tho
devastated forest lands of the common
wealth. Making provision for continuing the
rtate's highway building plan on n
larger scale.
Providing nn outlet for prison-made
goods and for the transfer of prisoners
from one overcrowded prison to another
less crowded. '
Aron mil Dead
Other important legislation which
might not be classed as administration
bills, but which was passed. Included
the repealer of the railroad full-crew
law and the mine-cave commission for
the anthracite field, which are in the
Governor's hands awaiting his final de
cision. The one bill which carried a para
mount interest for Philadelphia was
postponed Indefinitely last night. It
was the Aron bill for altering tho new
voting held In Upper Silesia, and rec
ommendations from the council of am
bassadors. Premier Briand of France will, it is
asserted, not undertake the occupation
of the Ruhr district of Germany without
the approval of the Allies.
The German embassy hero has Issued
a lengthy explanatory statement re
garding Germany's reparations offer. It
claims that the difference between tho
sum offered In Berlin's last proposal of
200,000,000,000 gold marks and the
220,000,000,000 gold marks under the
Paris terms Is "but small."
The statement also says with regard
to the conditions relating to the sup
pression of penalties that "it appar
ently means the penalties decided upon
at the London conference should be
canceled, but certainly not that the
territories occupied by virtue of the
peace treaty should be evacuated."
REICHSTAG DEBATES
GERMANTS OFFER
Berlin, April 28. (By A. P.) To
day's session of the Reichstag had be
fore it a program calling for continua
tion of the debate on the government's
reparation policy, with a probable vote
before adjournment on the Joint reso
lution of the coalition parties declar
ing confidence in the cabinet.
The day began without any announce
ment having been mode by the govern
ment of news from Washington re
garding tho reparations negotiations,
following a day of marking time In gov
ernmental circles so far as anoearcd
on the surface, neither the cabinet not
the committee on foreign relations hav
ing held any sessions yesterday.
It was considered not unlikely that
today's Reichstag debate would again
bring out a considerable resort to per
sonalities, Wednesday's discussions
having proceeded along stormy lines
virtually to their close. One feature
of the debate was a declaration by
former Chancellor Herman Mueller, who
was defending the policy of foreign
Minister Simons, that the German
workingman would prevent Germany
from becoming involved In "fresh war
ndvtntures." '
