OPTION IS STRONGLY BUCKED Governor Brumbaugh Supported by Men Without Regard to Party Lines in the State PALMER GETS ABOARD, TOO Statement Made al the Capilol Calls on ihe People to Line Up Wilh Governor Governor Brumbaugh's stand for local option is being: backed by people all over the State and responses to ap peals by committees for support for the Executive show that the people are really with him. Before leaving for Philadelphia last night the Gover nor sent letters to a number of clergy men asking them to give their help and also wired a number of men prominent in politics. One of the rumors set afloat last night designed to force the Governor's hand. It was reported that an effort would be made on Monday night to take the Williams bill out of commit tee and to line up the House agalnsf the Governor's desire to have it. remain for awhile. The Governor did not appear to be disturbed by the report and neither did anyone but the liquor lobbyists. , Ex-Congressman A. Mitchell Pal mer, who was asked to line up the Democratic legislators, sent an an swer to the Governor's telegram, prom* ising his support, and wrote a letter to each of the forty Democratic mem bers of the Legislature to redeem the party pledges made to the people of the Keystone State. The telegram of Governor Brum baugh to Representative Palmer said: "Will you personally appeal to every member of our Legislature to redeem your party pledge by voting for local option. If so. it will win. I appeal to you to do this service for Pennsyl vania." Mr. Palmer's reply to the Governor read: "Your telegram received. I shall be very glad to personally urge every Democratic member of the Legislature to redeem our party's pledge and vote for local option, county unit. Local option, self-government and home rule are fundamental principles of our gov ernment. The people of Pennsylvania are for local option by a large major ity, and their will should prevail. Wish you success in your fight to give the people the right in each county to determine for themselves this impor tant question." Governor Brumbaugh's stand on the local option was commended in reso lutions adopted at a meeting of the Men's Bible Class of Grace I'nited Evangelical Church at Reading last night. i The organization is composed of more than 100 of the city's most prom inent church workers. Tile resolutions urged that the Governor be given the moral support of all religious organi zations. and steps were taken to have the churches of Reading and Berks county unite in a movement to pro cure support for the bill from the city and county representatives in the Leg islature. statement on Situation A statement issued at the Capitol last night on the local option situation, said: "If the people of Pennsylvania really want a decisive victory for local option at this session it is time they quit their seats in the grandstand applauding the game now on at Harrisburg and comu squarely and decisively into the arena to fight like men, hard and true for the cause. The Governor does not need applause. He needs help. He is not asking for resolutions of fragrant phrases but for intelligent, energetic and instant work directly with the members of the Legislature. Good intentions and good will must be car ried into good service in a good cause. If you are red-blooded and clean and patriotic, get busy." Congratulations Given The Governor has received the fol lowing telegrams: "Accept sincere congratulations upon your speech to the law and order committee to-night. Hoping for your success.

MISSIONARY 10 TELL OF Willi EXPERIENCES Believes England Will Take Over Mesopotamia; Has Support of Arabs ofiK REV. E. E. CALVERDEY Who Had Exciting Experiences In Mission Field Th« Rev. E. E. Calverley, of York, a missionary of tho Dutch Reformed, | Church, will preach to-morrow morn ing at Olivet Presbyterian Church and jin tho evening at inunanuel Presby | terian. | Tho Rev. Mr. Calverley will give a ■missionary address on his experiences among the Moslems in Arabia, from which he and his wife have just re turned for a year's furlough after five years service. He will tell especially of the effect of the war on Arabia and of the hindrance to the schools of the missionaries and the great demand for their medical assistance. Efficient Tax Gatherers He thinks the probable result of the war with Turkey will be the taking over of Mesopotamia by Great Bri tain and the appointment of a natlvo ruler under an English advisor. The Arabs, he says, are generally support ing the British, rather their co-reli glonists. The Turks, who are very ef ficient as tax gathyrers are inefficient rulers. The Rev. Mr. Calverley was with the Dutch Reformed missions at. four places on the east coast of the Persian Gulf, one of them being Busra, the seaport mentioned in the Arabian Nights stories of Sindbad the Sailor. BEE-KEEPING OX THE HOUSETOP One may be so situated that he has no land on which to keep poultry or make a garden, but he can keep a colony of bees in tho attic or on the roof. There are several profitable lit tle apiaries on the roofs of business buildings in the downtown districts of Chicago and Xew York, There are persons who keep a few bees in the attic in nearly every city in America. Those who have a back lot can keep more If the surroundings are favor able. .Suitable flowers must be within reach from which the bees can store the hones', but bees will flv from two to Ave miles in each direction, and it is surprising how well a. colony or two will do In what seems to be an unfavorable locality.—Frank C. Pel lett, in The Countryside Magazine and Suburban Life for March. Mil ACCIDENTS SHOW A DECREASE State Department of Mines' Re port For Soft Coal Field Shows Results of Inspection Fatal accident* in the bituminous coal field in 1914 showed a decrease of 32 per cent, according to a summary of reports issued to-day by the State Department of Mines, the number last year being- 413 as compared with 611 the previous year. . According to the official figures the production of soft coal last year was 145,884,530 or 27,081,129 less than <n 1913. the number of employes last year being 195,949 against 189,909 in 1913. The amount of coal produced per fa tal accident last yoar was 353,207 tons against a rate of 283,086 tons in 1913, while the fatalities per thousand em ployes last year was 2.10 against 3.22 in 1913. Fatalities in the bituminous fields were less last year than in any year since 1897. which is attributed at the department to the closer supervision exercised by State inspectors and the operation of the soft coal mine code adopted in 1911. Details of the summary show that the accidents from falls of rock and car accidepts amounted to 84.96 per cent, and a special effort to reduce these classes of accidents lias been or dered by Chief Roderick, mine fore men. superintendents and inspector.? being ordered to enforce the most stringent rules and to secure discipline among the men. The percentage of fatalities from falls of rocks, coal, roof, slate, etc., was 61.21, while from cars 23.75: from gas, dust explosions and suffocation, 2.11; by electrical ac cidents, 6.3 3 and ail other causes, 6.60.
