DISCUSS CITY BILL
FOR JUL PRISONERS
Question Being Threshed Out by
County and Municipal Le
gal Authorities
Ilarrisburg has
not settled with
Dauphin county
for the latter's bill
for maintenance of
city prisoners in
the jail for the last
nine months of
1913 pending an
agreement be
tween the city and
county legal au-
thorities on vne question of cost per
prisoner.
When the city settled its bill a year
ago the basis upon which the cost was
figured was 20 cents per diem. The
bill for the nine months ending De-1
cember 31, 1913, however, averages I
between 32 and 33 cents per head. I
The difference,'the prison authorities
explain, Is due to the increased cost ol
keep under the new system. The oniy
way, it is held, by which the cost can
be obtained is to divide the number of
days during which all the prisoners
served in the year into the total
cost of maintenance. AYhen the pel
capita cost is had this is plied
by the number of city pri-
For the nine months -.-stlon
5,595 prisoners were w. .I.ed to

turn to the controversy over disposition

nounced that he would not receive the
dailv payments of such revenue by the
State Highway Department without a
detailed statement showing to whom ,
each license was issued. The Highway
Commissioner has mandamused the
Auditor General to sow cause why he
should not honor requisitions by the
road department on the income from li
censes for use in maintenance of high
ways and the fiscal officer holds that he
is prohibited from so doing by tho spe
cific appropriation act of 1909 drawn
after the Capitol furnishing scandal.

"General" Drummond,
Shouting and Struggling,
Pays $lO Fine in Court
By Associated Press
London, April 8. Pandemonium
reigned in Marlborough street police
court to-day when "General" Mrs.
Drummond, the militant suffragette,
was brought up again and sentenced
to pay a fine of $lO or go to prison
for two months, for creating a dis
turbance in Hyde Park during the
Unionist rally on Saturday.
Mrs. Drummond was so violent that
three policemen had to pinion her and
remove her hatpins before the magis
trate found opportunity during a
pause in the uproar to pronounce sen-
I tencc.
The "general" vehemently declared
that she would never pay the fine. She
was forcibly removed to a cell.
All the time Mrs. Drummond was in
court she kept up a fierce struggle
with the police and warders and
shrieked denunciation of every one
present. Even a sister militant suff
ragette who was in court, was the vic
tim of a verbal attack because she
did not storm the prisoner's enclosure
and rescue the "general."
Seizing a policeman's metal whistle.
Mrs. Drummond flung it at the magis
trate's head, but he dodged the mis
sile.
Taking advantage of the diversion
Mrs. Drummond then sprang from the
enclosure but was seized before she
got far away and was carried back
shouting and struggling.
When Mrs. Drummond became
clmer she was released, as either she
or some one else had paid her tine.
