HOUSE APPROVES
TENEMETHOD
Conference on "Pure Payroll"
Biil to Be Held
MAY BE FORMAL INVESTIGATION
Jones BUI Providing For Direct Prim,
arlet Pasted by tht House Mothers'
Pensions Investigation Authorized.
The clash between Governor Tener
and the Pennsylvania house of repre
sentatives on the question of the
authority of the house to compel the
attendance of executive subordinates,
the governor's secretary, Walter II.
Uaither, being directly Involved, be
fore a committee investigating dual
office holding was practically settled
In a strenuous battle on the floor of
the house.
It Is understood that the employes
involved will obey the summons of the
bouse and give testimony before the
investigating committee. If such a
course Is followed It is believed the
house will not press tho matter further
as the members claim this will be a
recognition of their authority.
The contest was precipitated by the
presentation of a message from the
governor in which the executive set
forth that his original communication
on the subject questioning the au
thority of the house to compel recog
nition of their processes had been mis
understood and requesting a confer
ence on the subject. The governor ex
plained that he did not wish to be un
derstood as defying the authority of
the house to compel the attendance of
witnesses, but merely, to protect the
luterests of the state in withholding
books and "apers, which, under the
resolution c eating the investigating
committee, the latter were authorized
to demand.
The Jones primary election bill was
passed finally in tle house by a vote
of 170 to K. The bill would provide
for the nomination of all ofllcers, from
governor to judge of election, and the
election of party officers by a direct
vote. It also contains provision for
I'nited States senatorial and presl
dential preference primaries. When
it returns to the house from the sea
ate the legislation no doubt will be
considerably altered.
The Rockwell bill, to provide that
the appraisers' lists of mercantile 11
censes shail not hereafter be pub'
lished, passed Anally, 147 to 25.
The Stein bill, to authorize the ap-
point ment of a commission to Inquire
into the creating of public pensions
for dependent mothers, passed finally
by a vote o'' 187 to 7.
The last night for the introduction
of bills in the house saw upward of
400 measures dumped in. Tlipy cover
almost every conceivable subject and
many of them are duplicates of nieas
ures now in the legislature.
Something new In the way of liquor
legislation appeared when Piper of
Philadelphia proposed a state board
for the examination of bartenders.
Each examiner would receive a salary
of $1 ,."00 a year. The new crop of bar.
tenders would have to pass examina'
tions on their fitness for the job and
the old ones would have to register,
Each bartender would be given a cer
tificate which would cost him $:!. He
would be required to renew his cer
tifioate each year at the same price.
A new club license bill was present
ed by Augustus Wildnian of Dauphin.
It would fix a fee of $10 for clubs with
a membership of from .10 to 100: 100
to 200 members, $100, and 200 or over,
$150. The license would be granK
by the courts and the fees go to the
municipality. There is no restriction
as to hours or closing on Sundays and
election days in the bill.
Having agreed upon a number of
amendments to the governor's utility
bill all Republican factions in the
state legislature will Join in support
ing the measure and it is practically
assured of passage. The measure is
still In committee, but it probably will
lie reported to the house affirmatively
this week and put through as soon as
possible.
The Bigger bill, to prohibit the
making of false or misleading state
ments concerning any merchandise,
securities or services, was slgued by
Governor Tener.
He also approved the concurrent
resolution from the house and senate
requesting the Fiftieth Anniversary of
the Battle of Gettysburg commission
to broaden the scope of the provisions
made for the attendance as guests of
the state so as to Include all Union
soldiers, saliors and marines, in the
Civil war who enlisted from Pennsyl
vania or who are now living in the
state. The resolution also includes
ail men who served In Pennsylvania
commands known as emergency troops
and soldiers who served In the Con
federate army who are now living In
this state.

Government Subjecting Friedmann
Culture to Every Prool.
The l'n..ed States public health
service mal es it pbiu that it has not
reached and will not reach any con
clusions to the merit or lack of merit
of the Friedmann tuberculosis cure
until a long series of experiments
shall have been conducted by the ex
perts of the government bureau.
In response to a general demand
for information from the health service
on the treatment as observed thus far
by the government authorities Sur
geon General Blue made his first pub
lic statement on the subject in the
form of a bulletin.
Pr. Blue ventures no opinion and
merely recites the steps that already
have been taken to Investigate the
cultures, serum and treatment, at the
same time suggesting that the public
be patient and that sufferers from
tuberculosis refrain from coming to
Washington In the hope of obtaining
the treatment.
