LOCH. 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. (Signed) Harry K. Daugh
ertv. Grove City."

vants of God with the county local
option bill which you have drafted in
accordance with your pledge with the
people, and we promise you our sup

want you to he present when I de
liver this speech."
"Tassuh."
"I want you to start the laughter
and applause. Every time I take a
drink of water, you applaud; and
every" time I wipe my forehead with
my handkerchief, you laugh."
"You better switch dem signals,
boss. It's a heap mo' liable to make
me laugh to see you standln' up dar
deliberately takin' a drink o" water."

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

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.
