The attendance at Fiid.iy morning
sessions Is usually veiy slim, owing to
the fact that it is quite unusual for
anything moie than the perfunctory
lus-dug of hills on Hist leading to
tome up. Tills inoining. however, there
was a eiy large attendance, practic
ally all the members, excepting those
absent on committee Junkets, being in
their seats'. It was claimed they had
been induced by the fi lends of the
Vnughan measute to icmaiu over and
help pass the "speda! oidor" resolu
tion. They weie disappointed at hav
ing been kept over unnecessarily hut
ngrecd, so it is claimed, to bo on hand
Monday night. To those not tin the in
side, the large attendance was attrib
uted to the shutting off tit leaves of
nbsencc the day before. The knowing
ones let it go at that.
As only about a lif th of the iu mhers
vho stay away from a session take the
trouble to ask for a leave of absence,
the large attendance needed some ex
planation other than leveronoe for tho
i tiles, and upon inquiry the leal cause
developed as Indicated above.

PROCEEDINGS OF A DAY.
Uncle Jerry Roth Raises n Lnugh.
Bills Intioduced.
C(U1 fiom a Staff CorittpomUnt,
Harrlsbiug, .March 2.'. With a i uun
tdiance us setlous as If it was being
worn at tho pieseiitatlnu of obituary
resolutions, your I'nde Jerry Roth,
thn venerable representative who is al
ways heading some high moral icform,
such as removing tho bar to pool sell
ing, arose lit his place at this morn
ing's, session of the house and pio
sented a bill "to encourage, mini luge
In this commonwealth and dellnlng the
terms nnd payment of license tees."
A titter run tlnough tho house nnd
then came a hutst of laughter, but
Pnelo Jerry, from his seat in the (list
tow. turned upon the house with a
scowl that, with the recollection of
similar laws having recently been en
acted In other states, had the effect of
squelching Its risibilities
Speaker Marshall looked oer the act
but never smiled, and the house was
about to accept as final that the meas
ure was a set lous and sensible one
when the thali spoiled It all by an
nouncing as the committee to which It
should ho refeired "law and ouler."
It developed later In Hie day that the
measure came from Chairman Slater,
tho genial thteo bundled tind ten
pound gentleman from Philadelphia,
who presides over the commit tto on

MYSTERJOUS SHOOTING
OP WILLIAM WEST
His Tramp Friends United in the
Statement That the Wounds
Weie Self-inflicted.
Hj i.rliiMic Mile from 'the Assoitattd I'tev,
Altoona, P.i., March 22. The mystery
surrounding the fatal shooting of Wil
liam West. Jr. of tills rity, who was
found near Conn?llsvllle yesterday with
a bullet hole in his light, temple, was
partially cleared up last night by the
lettirn to Altoona, ot 1). Maxwell, a
filend of West's.
MiiNwell says he met AVesfs son In
Connellsvlllo yesteiduy morning nnd,
after di Inking about town with two
other men, the p.uty went down along
the river. While the men were seated
on the giotiud. Maxwell says. West
shot twice at him, one ball hitting him
In the nun. West then shot himself
through the temple, Indicting a fatal
wound. Maxwell returned to Connells
vllle and came to this cltj. He was
takn to tlie Altoona hospital, whore
the bullet was lemoved, nfter which he
was placed In Jell
West was found lying on the river
bank last night, with his head almost
shot off. Ho was taken to the Cotton
State hospital, wheio he recoioied con
sciousness today and gave his name.
He would tell nothing about the
wound. The physicians say lie cannot
iecooi
John Kane, of Dunbar, met thieo
m-'ii running up the railway track fiom
New Havt 11 yesteiday afternoon. He
asked tliein why they were In such a
huiry. They told him to attend to his
own nlfalrs. The men were strangers,
and weie i-ty much ocltod. It is
supposed that .Maxwell boarded a tost
ft eight, east-bound, shortly alter he
shot West and went stialght to Al
louna. This morning James Wilson, of
Springfield, Mass , and Oeorgo Wil
liams, of Philadelphia, weie ai rusted
in this city. They weto with West and
.Maxwell near Connellsvllle when the
shooting took phue and came heio last
night wltli Maxell. Williams confirms
the story of the shooting told by Max
well and adds that when tliey saw that
West had piobably killed himself they
all tail away. Wilson denies nil knowl
edge ot the aftalr and says he never
saw Maxell or West, The whole party

GOVERNOR 0DELL IS FIRM
May See Mr. Platt. but Will Go to No
Conference Not to Give In nt
All Odell Must Fight.
B Kscluaho Wire from The Wodunl l'rct.
Albany. Murch 22. Ooieiuor Odell
will go to New York and ho will see
Senator Platt nt the Fifth Avenue
hotel on Saturday afternoon. That
does not mean Mint tho governor Is
giving In. Probably he would not hne
decided to go to New Yoik at nil If
he laid not received an invitation fiom
the Lotus club to be pieseul at u din
ner on Saturday night. On the so'
oial occasions that Governor Odell has
called on Senator Platt In 2iVw Yoik
he has suited his own convenience. II"
has made his calls upon the semtor
Incidental to cither business.
All Albany Is divided Into two camps,
the Odell camp and the Platt camp.
Discussion 1 tins high. In the hotel
lobbies, in the ion Idors 01 the capltol,
tile one theme llercely debated Is the
break or, as some other people prefer
to call It, the "diffcieiice" between
Platt and Odell. The memhets of the
leglslatuie, however, aie not proclaim
ing which camp they Intend to Join:
,011 the contiaty they are keeping ills-
cieelly quite. Some of th -m plofess
to hcllui! that things will he fixed up
nicely and coullaliy 011 Satuiday. Those
wlio have nothing to losr, no hills to
ffftei, do not vcntuie to make sin h
predictions, however, for 11 is teall.ed
that Uovetnor Odell has binned the
bridges. He has no ionise to puisne
but the one on which he has set out.
He has moused Hie lie of Senator
Platt so lbs politicians say It makes
no mrference now whether he gives lu
or not. No further political pieier
ment is In stoic tor htm if the senator
can help It fiovernor Odell, then, must
shake himself enthelj fier from Sena
tor Platt, and make hlniselt muster of
Mi.' situation. It Is either that 01 tele
gallon to the icglons of political Umbo.
Oovrriioi' Odi'll Ibis evening l-stied a
formal statement, in which ho declared
that he Is opposed lo a nietiopolltan
police bill, liecaus'. he does not bellow
that ptesent exigencies would Justify
Its enactment, find for the fuilhei rea
son that he does not sVllow It would
be constitutional.
Ho lei'ris to' the irspectlve positions
which have been taken on the (iiicstluu
by Senator Thomas C. Platt nnd him
self, and declares Mint they are simply

M. Do filers, tho Ttusslnn minister M
China, believes that everything will ba

of further trouble In the mntter.
(Jeueral Voyion, commander of thi
French troops, has ordered a new rcgU

now there. French ofllcers hero think;
it was a mistnko to W-nve n rcglmcntl

commanding In Manchuria, has been
ordeied to be cashieicd and tried for

In Manchuria the foreign under sccro

Itussian government had repeatedly
d'-c kited lis intention to respect iliii
integrity of China, and the Urltlsh gov

had Infringed It.
A tier tlie questions had been an

attention to the t.illuio of tho governs
ment to glvo tho hotiso information'
yesterday of th" seltleniont of th
Tlen-Tsln dispute. The wholo opposi
tion seconded tho motion.
The government leader, Mr. Balfour,
said he had never heard an adjourn
ment suggested on such a frivolous:
pietext. Perhaps It ivas desirable than
Lord linsdowno should have sent thn
Information l the house, but It wan
absurd to attack him (Mr. H.ilfour) fori
not doing so.

Judging from Information obtained
in various olllciai quarters In London,
Japan has confided to at least some oC
tho powers hep determination to op
pose, at all costs, any secret agree

by which the former could secuto tei
