General Stewart has been the head of the military establishment of the State since January 15. 1895, and to day he enters upon his service under the sixth Governor. He is the State official longest in any one office almost in the history of the commonwealth and his reappointment is a tribute to his efficient service, which has at tracted national attention. General Stewart was born in Bel fast. September 11, 1848, and was brought to Montgomery county by his parents when only nine months old. He was educated in Montgomery schools and the Quaker City Business College, in Philadelphia, and when only sixteen enlisted as a private in the One Hundred and Thirty-eighth Pennsylvania Volunteers. He entered the window glass business after the war and in 1885 was elected to the House of Representatives. Soon after he was named a member of the com mission to locate the Soldiers' Home at Krie and has been a member of the board of trustees ever since, serving as secretary since 188ti. In Grand Army matters General Stewart has been very active. He was assistant adjutant general of the De portment of Pennsylvania, 1882 to 1888. department commander in 189tt, assistant adjutant general of the Grand Army of the Republic of the United States in 1883 and adjutant general in 1897, 1 898 and 1899; elected com mander-in-chief in 1902. Since 1866 General Stewart has been a national guardsman. He was ad jutant of the Sixth Regiment in 1877; assistant adjutant general. First Bri gade. from 1889 to 1897, and became adjutant general January 15, 1893, by appointment of Governor Hastings and being reappointed by Governors Stone, Pennypacker, Stuart. Tener and Brum baugh. He is president of the Na tional Guard Association of the United States and a former president of the State Guard Association, serving also as a member of the militia board of the AVar Department. His advice is frequently sought by army officials and he is considered as the man who has ! made the State Guard what it is to-day. In addition to serving as Secretarv of Internal Affairs from 1887 1o 1895 he was a member of the Soldiers' Or phans' School Commission and has been foremost in military and vet erans affairs. He is a newspaper pub lisher at Norristown, where he has his home, and is famous throughout the State and country as an orator, in 1596 he toured the country for McKin ley and has been one of the standbys of Republican committees for many years. Xo one is in more demand for speechmaking at affairs of all kinds. General Stewart organized the mi litia for Spanish War service and formed the Guard regiments for home service during 1898 and 1899. He is a past master of administrative detail. Home Rule League Wants Law Amended The bill introduced by Senator Graff lasi night at Hie request of the .Mu nicipal Home Rule League of Penn sylvania. providing for the repeal of the public service company law, is the lirst step of that organization to have the public service statute so amended as to remove all boroughs and munici palities of the State from the op erations of the public service law and the jurisdiction of the commission. The Municipal League is preparing to wage a vigorous campaign for the amendment of the public service law to meet its views and to that end is petitioning the Legislature through the people of the various districts afTected. These petitions are uniform in their wording and allege that "the law un justly discriminates against all munici palities which had not at the time of its passage established their own mu nicipal plants or works by depriving them of the right to purchase, build or operate such works wherever the pub lic service company for profit was do ing business when the act was passed." _ AMUSEMENTS REGENT THEATER ' I*. >IAUA HO.

REFERENDUM FOR THIRD CUSS CITIES Clark Bill Supplements Clark Com mission Act; 20 Per Cent. Must Sign Petition The bill Introduced in the Senate last night by Senator Clark, of Erie, limiting the score of the initiative and referendum In the third class cities of Pennsylvania was presented at the instance of the third class city solicitors of the State and will have their backing. The measure, which bears the name of the author of the Clark commission form of government law passed at the 1913 session and which it supplements, provides that at the written request of 100 qualified electors of any third class city the city clerk shall prepare a petition praying for the passage of such ordinance as may be presented. This petition is to remain in the office of the city clerk and if within ten days it is signed by 20 per cent, of the number of voters casting ballots for mayor at the last preceding municipal election council must do one of two things—either pass the ordinance wlth alteration or submit it to the people at an election to be held within ninety days of the presentation of the pe tition. In case 20 per cent, do not sign the petition is to remain open for an additional ten days. Not more than one special election is to be held in any six months and an ordinance so passed may not be vetoed except by special election within two years of its passage, but council may submit a proposal fo repeal or amend at the next general election. Any num ber of ordinances may be submitted at one time. Xo ordinance granting a street franchise or consent to occupy highways may become effective until thirty days after its passage, and in case 20 per cent, of the voters petition against it a special election becomes necessary for its passage. The law will not apply to ordinances providing for tax levies, appropriations, exercise of right of eminent domain, nubile peace, health, morals, safety, police powers, the opening, grading and keeping of streets in order, or to any ordinances for increasing the public debt or for which special elections are now necessary. Third Judge For Dauphin County A hill to create a third judge for Dauphin county to relieve the present two judges of the pressure of work was presented in the House last night by John C. Nissley, Second Dauphin district. It is tlie first bill to come from Dauphin county. The bill follows the phraseology of the bill presented last session and pro vides for appointment by the Governor under the state laws and election at the following municipal election. If the bill becomes a law the Gov ernor would appoint this year and an election would be held in No vember. WHY IS A IHJM-DIM? Light on a charge much bandied about by both sides in the present war. At the arsenal in Dum Dum, north ern India, was invented a bullet which has since become notorious or famous, whichever you choose, under the name of the place of its birth. The device was simple and effective. Where teh bullet narrowed to its point and did not bear on the rifling of the barrel it was denuded of its steel coat and its soft lead core exposed. While such a projectile travels through the air it retains its shape, but on meet ing the resistance of a solid body the lead point spreads and splits the jacket and the whole head has a dia meter of . about .GO inch and whose base has a diameter of .30 inch. The sum total of the result of this device is to produce a misile whose striking surface is greater when pass ing through a living body than It is when passing through the air. MARLEY 24 IN.
