Hnrrlsburg. March SI. Th-s VauKh.in
llei-t.se tee hill was reported fnvotably
1 oin the Judicial y local committee of
Hi" house this morning by Itop.-oFentn-t'f
l'ttynohls, who .suecesstully etigl
reei'd Its passage through his com
ri'ltio last night. It goes on the cal
endar now. and will come up on firs I
t'alliig tomorrow. Kfforts' -x 1 1 1 b"
nude to lme It put through on :pclnl
iibrs early next week, so that It inn
li laid In? I or th governor by Wed
nesday or Tluir.-diiy. The lobby which
Is here working In Its Interest. Is meet
ing with every enrouiagement and It
Is almost assured now, that the neces
saiv loiistltutlonal iii.ijnrlty of 103
"ma will not be wanting 'vhen the
bill comes up on third reading.
The Set anion di'legatlon expected
1 pre thN afternoon to protest against
Hi'- fee bill did not come, but Instead
in a tob'Krani t Hpcakcr Marshall,
eskins: tor u hearing. The speaker
ii.rneil the telegram over to Mr.
Si better, who telegraphed an answer
1-1 th" elt'i ct that the cominit''V hail
dln-ady reported the bill.
The Sehoucr bill t educing the inn
i.iiillle tax unc-luilf. was favorably le
poitod fiom the wiv anil means eom
jnlitcu this ulietneon. This Is the bill
which S-'ecictary Atherlon, of the boaid
Tif tii.de. and A. V. Duffy, of the liro
e rs" nt-'oclntloii, argued in favor of at
l lie committee's last meetings. It la
the lirs-l levcnuo reducing bill that has
been allowed to come out of this com
mittee. Still Another Ripper.
And still another "ripper" has come
out of the stalwart camp and from
Senator Mtichlbronncr. too! It is the
cxrM- commission bill, designed to
i. ike the power of granting licenses
troni the courts and place it In the
hands of the commissioners, appointed
by the governor tor a term of live
-ais. at a salary of $.1,000 each a year.
Theiu was too much opposition ap
parent to a genetal bill of this stripe
and this, coupled with the fact that It
Is only in Allegheny county the stal
warts hae any concern as to who
Fh.ill grant licenses, the bill was tnndo
to apply specially to that county, by
limiting Its opeiallons to "all counties
having a pop'ilatlon of over .Virt.uOO and
less than 100,0o."
One of Its provisions is that In cities
of thf second oln-s, embraced within
counties In which the bill shall beconie
opera i. ve. the llcc-ii!- fee shall be $1,000.
This wovdel mean that the big Ander
son hotel in Pittsburg would pay foi
l's license les, by $100, than some ob
si'ine saloon at the Notch, unless, of
iouisc, the Vaughan telleing bill
should become a law before Monday,
April 1.
There is a clause In the bill provid
ing that In first-class cities tlio license
fee shall also be $1,000, and that the
ineuiintllc appraiser shall return all
licensed and unlicensed liquor dealers,
furnishing one list to the biurd of ex
lse commissioners and another to tho
cistlict attorney, which latter olllclal
must proceed forthwith to proseouto
the unlicensed dealers. The appraiser
U to tecelvtf $:'.50 for each licenced or
t'tillcenscd place returned.
The purpose of this appraiser Is not
clear. There Ik no first-class city in u
county of more than r.00,000 and less
than 100,000 population. Senator Muehl
bronncr hlmrelf can not explain thin
clause. The bill, lie says, was sent to
him by i .ney V. T). Uodgers, Mr.
Itodgors the author of the charter
'Tipper.

RIOT REPORTS
EXAGGERATED
Yet the Situation in Russia Is Un
(loiiutcdlu Grave.
REGARDING THE KILLED
Four Victims Including One Woman
Are Mentioned Statements Re

Until Cossacks Pressed 300 Into
the Church and Tought Them Back

Hy llichi'be Wire fiom The Avocialed IVw.
St. Petersburg. March 21. It is sig
nificant that though the police repot t
on tho recent riots, published as ex
pressly stnted, in order to correct false
tumors concerning the riots does not
deny the most serious of tho rumors
circulated, which are to tho effect that
men and women wore killed hero and
elsewhere. The report doe not men
tion the subject of the students. It
gives, however, the names of four who
died here, Including one woman. Tho
tcpoit is not generally credited with
being an Impartial statement It is
claimed that the passage relating to
tho disturbances In the church Is pnrtU
cularly distorted, manifestly, It Is said,
to prejudice the devout mils-sen against
the students, the intellectual element
and tin- factory workmen.
The statements that students entered
the church smoklhi; cigarettes, that a
student struck a. priest and another
student caught the chief ptiest rudely
by the arm. are discredited by eye
witnesses. The facts are, the tumble
occurred entltely outside the chinch,
until th j f'ossacks pressed SOO per
sons Into the church and fought them
to the back wnll. It Is nNo denied
that holy water was used to dtess the
wounds. The students sent n church
servant expressly for other water. It
Is lcaitied now that the police not
only prepated for the event themselves
but made previous arrangements at
one of thf hospitals for the antici
pated wounded. Thoy also had car
riages ready in neighboring coutt
nid.s. Lectures will hardly be posible for
tho remainder of the year nt any of
the higher institutions.
The participation ot the facloiy
hands in tho riots Is considered ex
tremolyi grave, so far as the future N
concerned. It Is understood that
measures will be taken Monday to
forestall the possible marching of la
boring men from tho suburbs to the
center of tho city.
The society of JltiShlan authors has
sent to all tho ministers a. protest
against the conduct of the police and
Cossacks.

EXCITEMENT AT ALBANY
Mr. Odcll Settles All Doubt its to
Who Will Be Governor of New

That He Will Tnko No Ordcts.
Will Not Sign the Police Bill.
Hy l.xiliulte Wire fiom The Adulated Pics
Albany. Mulch 21. It is Odell. Ilu
settled all doubt last night as to who
Is governor ot the stute when he told
Frank Piatt that he would not take
the oiders nnd the police bill which
Senator Piatt had sent up to him. The
bill wan a metiopolltau police niensui-j
for the district Included in Now Yorlc
city and In the Croton wnteished, and
the orders wete to havo it Introduced,
passed and signed. Mr. Odell said ho
would not sign It. He said this in
language which none can misunder
stand: "I shall not sign It." said tho gover
nor, "nnd I do not desire to sign any
other iolle legislation for Xow York-.
I should piefer to bo on pleasant terms
with Mr. Piatt, but I ought not to be
asked to mako a fool of myself. Frank
Piatt lit ought up here today a metro
politan police bill wltlt a provision In
it that Its constitutionality might bo
tested In tho courts aftr it should
be enacted nnd before It should go
Into etfect, by a. (uo warranto proceed
ing to try the title to ills olllce of the
state superintendent of police for tho
metropolitan district, whom I ntn ex
pected lo appoint under the bill. I
won't be made n monkey of.
"I told Mr. Frank Piatt so and ho
said some uiiilcnsant things nbout my
political future, but I havo the duties
of my office to consider and I will not
sign a bill like this."
Mr. riatt's Statement.
New York, March 21. Senator Tho.

concerning police legislation, In which
he says: t

aion of lice in the city ot New York aie wot

can enly bo explained on the theory that money
u leliig paid therefor by lawbreaker. Thu
