sixth timp. His name was sent to the
Senate by Governor Brumbaugh and

State since January 15. 1895, and to
day he enters upon his service under
the sixth Governor. He is the State

his efficient service, which has at

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

the One Hundred and Thirty-eighth

the window glass business after the
war and in 1885 was elected to the
House of Representatives. Soon after

board of trustees ever since, serving
as secretary since 188ti.

Army of the Republic of the United
States in 1883 and adjutant general

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

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

! made the State Guard what it is to-day.

he was a member of the Soldiers' Or
phans' School Commission and has
been foremost in military and vet

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."

Every pair in every lot is desirable, and in every lot is every size from I to B—widths from B to D.

soles.
They represent the stock of women's shoes from a large retailer who conducts a chain of 127 stores (there
is one in Harrisburg), who decided to discontinue handling women's shoes and sold them to us at a most re
markably low figure, which accounts for our very low price.

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.
