SIIIE'S REVENUE LARGE THIS WEEK ' Insurance and Bank Stock Taxes Caused It to Go Over the Two Million Mark k Pennsylvania's week of March ran according to fig ures at the State M ©CjWwtiT Treasury, the \ JoSSSSt amount being i MraWnw larger than for any ■ feSDUUUOL wee ' 4 since the Hf lZ opening of the present fiscal year, mas&T «rrj and being due to the big payments of State taxes on bank and trust company stock and on premiums of foreign insurance com panies doing business in Pennsylvania. Close to a million dollars has been received for automobile licenses for 1915. payments having been started in December, while oleomargarine licenses since the first of the year have netted : almost a quarter of a million dollars. l>aupiiin Cases. —New outbreaks of the foot and mouth disease have been reported to the State Livestock Sani tary Board in the last few days from Schuylkill and Dauphin counties and valuable cattle will be killed to prevent spread of the dis ease. The Lancaster outbreaks are not far from that city and in Schuylkill the disease appeared near Tamaijua. The Dauphin cases are near Millers burg and Pillow. To Close Case.—The Public Service Commission will probably select a date in April for hearing the arguments on the objections to the proposed tele phone rate schedule for the State, on which testimony has been heard in the last eighteen months. The Pittsburgh Chamber of Commerce and Pittsburgh city complaints against service will be handled in local complaints and in vestigations made. Taxis Chartered. State charters have been issued to five taxicab com panies since the first of the year and applications are now pending for sev eral others. There were less than half a dozen charters for such lines issued last year. Smallpox Outbreak. —Two cases of smallpox have been reported to the State Department of Health from Cornplanter township. Venango coun ty. The two patients had traveled ex tensively on the electric cars in that vicinity and one attended school while the disease was in the eruntive state. A general vaccination has been or dered of known contacts in Oil City and vicinity. Governor Away.— Governor Brum baugh went to Philadelphia last night. Investigations On.—Eighty cases of typhoid fever have been reported in the boroughs of Oakmont and Verona. Allegheny county, since the first of January. The State Department of Health has begun an investigation of j the cause of the epidemic. An epi demic of scarlet fever in Greenville has been reported to the department. There are thirty cases now under quarant'ne. The schools iUm been I closed. Contracts Approved. The Public I Service Commission has anproved tiy applications of the Lehigh To'--'lship | I.ight and Power Companv, the Wal nutport Electric Light and Power ' Company, the Cementon Light. Heat and Power Company, the Northamp ton County Electric Company, the I Bethlehem Township Electric Light and Power Company and the Lehigh County Electric Company for the ap- I proval of the sale of their property.

They cannot go through this State. , The State has suffered a loss run ning into the millions by the disease, which was brought here from the West, and is endeavoring to stamp it out. All shipments of cattle in tjuar-! antined districts- inside the State are i prohibited and all shipments into the j State from Chicago or any place not classed as "free" are forbidden. This' is necessary to prevent any possible J further spread and the State is stand- 1 ing pat on its regulations notwith-1 standing pleas of packers and ship-; pels. New York is demanding live | cattle and the shippers have, offered! to send cattle through in sealed ears. The State officials have made . the quarantine absolute. The Pennsylvania and Baltimore ! and Ohio railroad have given their 1 word not to ship cattle through the State, but it was found out yesterday that the quarantine was being vio lated by the Erie, Nickleplate and Lake Shore, whose lines run across I Erie county. Cattle from Chicago have been going from Ohio into New York State by way of Erie, fiat against the State quarantine. Last night notice to stop was given these three lines and to day Deputy Attorney General W. M. Hargest followed it up by sending telegrams and letters to presidents and directors of the three roads that under the aet of 1913 they <-an be made personally liable anil subjected to fines end Imprisonment for violation of the cattle shipment prohibition. This is the first time these powers have ever been invoked. The Pennsylvania railroad alone is los ing a thousand cars a day by obeying the quarantine and other roads must stop shipping across Pennsylvania. I The State has also asked the fed eral government not to issue permits for shipment of cattle into or through ; Pennsylvania. Chicago cattle people are threatening suit in T'nited States I court, but the Keystone State is stand ; ing pat on its order. j A. P. OFFICER OFF TO FRONT New York, March C.—Charles 11. !

The Telegraph photographer snapped a few of the beautiful park scenes in Reservoir and on Capitol Hill. SNOW STORM GIVES SPRING CRUEL SLAP [Continued from First Page.] has fallen within the past eighteen hours over the eastern part of the State, and according to forecasts there is to be no cessation of hostilities by grim winter on approaching Spring. One of the heaviest snow and sleet storms of the winter has the entire country from the Mississippi east in its grip. The fall exceeded eight inches in this city at noon, and In the West snow was reported more than one foot deep. The snow began falling hfcre early last evening and winter came back at the signs of Spring with a vengeance. Early this morning when the street cars began operating, difficulty arose in maintaining the schedules but at noon the cars on of the city lines were about on schedule, and many of the suburban ones were only a few minutes behind. Both the Penns.v and the Philadel phia and Reading trains coming into this city were on schedule, it was an nounced this morning. The telegraph and telephone com panies with branches in this city were also among the fortunate ones and report that no connections were broken by the storm. The Department of Streets and Pub- He Improvements employed more than 123 extra men and thirty carts to clean the streets, and the men and teams were busy all day removing the snow which fell during the past twelve hours. BABY ATTEND SECOND WEDDING OF MAMMA [Continued from First Page.] candidates for licenses this morning and after the necessary questions had been put and answered and inscribed, the pair were asked to raise their hands and be sworn that they had told the truth. Possibly they didn't under stand the interpreter, for— the bride and groom-elect smiled, blushed, drew a bit closer—and gratefully HELD hands while the oath was being administered. Stojan's other hand and arm were busily engaged with tiny Anna. When the license had been filled out and Stojan had temporarily switched Anna to his left arm in order to get at his pocketbook. the pair started j away. They believed they had been married. Explanations were in or der during which they said they sup posed that the act of being sworn while holding hands—meant the offi cial sealing of Cupid's contract. However the bridal couple had hop ed to wed at once and in order not to disappoint them Recorder Wiekersham suggested that Alderman Murray be called in. Because of the press of busi ness in the recorder's own office, the ceremony was adjourned to courtroom No. 1. Janitor "Jim" Robinson, who was whistling "In the Good old Summer time," as he swept out the courtroom, switched his tune to the opening bars| of the bridal march from Lohengrin as the party entered. Nor is even this all of the story When Anna was asked how long she i had been married before, she said "Nine years!" "How many children have you got?" kindly inquired a court attache. "Nine!" cheerfully smiled Airs, j Anna.

W. H. Temple, a lighting expert from Philadelphia, who outlined a number of plans for lighting the streets, was retained to find out whether or not Highspire borough can obtain current from i'ork Haven. Mr. Temple will take up the matter | with officials of tlie York Haven com pany and report at the next meeting of council. If it is possible to obtain current from the York Haven com pany the borough will likely install a substation similar to the one at Royal ton. From this substation the current for street lighting and for commer cial purposes also will be distributed, it is planned. * The borough fathers of Highspire have been considering a number of plans for lighting the streets of the town for several years. Some time ago a municipal-owned plant was pro posed, but no action was taken. The demand for lighted streets has been growing and it is likely that some ac tion will now be taken. Rev.

He went direct to Uniontown from the national capital. It is authoritatively stated that among other things agreed upon at the Washington conference are the following: First Legislation to change th« election laws shall not attempt to re ] strict a candidate to running upon but | one ticket at the primaries, as a ques tion has been raised as to the consti tutionality of such a regulation. A bill will be passed, however, to prohibit the substitution of the name of any one on any ticket after the result of the primaries shall be announced. Second —If the nonpartisan ballot act shall be repealed, and this seems probable, the repeal shall not take effect until after the next November election. Third —The submission of the wom an suffrage constitutional amendment to the voters next November is to be advocated and the amendment will bo approved by the Senate without delay. Fourth —Bills for workmen's com pensation and the child labor legis lation will be promptly passed. Fifth — option is not to be con sidered as t> political issue and the legislators will not be Influenced cither way by the Republican State leaders. Sixth —The mayoralty situation in Philadelphia is to be allowed to de velop available candidates and no At tempt will be made to force the candi dacy of any aspirant at this time, with the primaries to be held not until September. Senator Penrose and his associates say they will await a "crys tallization of sentiment" before they dei lare for any candidate fur mayor.
