SENTIMENT GROWING,
GOVERNOR ASSERTS
[Continued from First Page.]
j League or anyone else says about the
j tight. Some people thought I was
bluffing in the campaign. I'm work-
I ing, not bluffing. As for the other
'■ folks, by their fruits shall they be
I known."
"Now." declared the Governor with
emphasis. "I have done a lot of work
I and 1 intend to do some more. I dare
: you to point to one man who was for
j local option whom they have taken
away."
I The Governor said that the inter
j views he had with legislators in his
I office he considered confidential and
I that if they chose to give them out
! they could, but that he would not. He
said that the local option situation
! would develop on Tuesday when tho
! law and order committee would meet,
j At that time the matter of hearing, re-
I porting out and other tilings would be
1 considered.
"I'm satisfied with the way things
, a«;e going." concluded the Governor.
Governor Brumbaugh said this
I morning when discussing the local op
j tion bill that lie intended to look into
! the question whether the corrupt prac-
I tices act would apply to such an elec
tion. "This is a subject that I will
investigate. I am not sure about it,
but in any event the general crimes
act would apply to any fraud. The (
question whether there is any limit to
the use of money in a local option
campaign is something we must con
sider."
Child LalH>r Developments
Philadelphia educational authorities
to-day notified Governor Brumbaugh
i that if another hearing was granted
i on the child labor bills they would be
| glad to appear in support of the con
tinuation school feature. The Gov
ernor was called on the telephone by
Superintendent W. C. Jacobs, who re
-1 marked that he desired to make some
I statements before the committee on ]
the subject of continuation schools, to j
which exception had been taken at the i
. recent hearing by speakers on behalf
! of manufacturers. He said that in 1
addition to Dr. Jacobs these officials I
would like to be heard: Oliver P. I
Cornman, associate superintendent; <
Henry J. Gideon, chief of the com- J
[ pulsory education bureau, and Dr. 1
Friszee. The Governor said that he
did not know if an additional hearing
would be held.
The Censorship Muss
"I have referred the matter of the
complaint of the moving picture men
against Chief Censor Breitinger to At
torney General Brown," said Governor
Brumbaugh. "My idea is, the censor
and the head of the moving picture
people should get together and talk
things over. I have asked Mr. Brown
to find out what each side has to say. j
He will advise me about it. There has '
been a lot of inflammatory stuff writ- 1
ten about the matter and the only way !
we can deal with the situation is to >
have the people concerned talk it over, j
I will learn from Mr. Brown later i
about the matter."
In the course of discussion of the
moving picture censorship squabble
the Governor said he hoped that the
matter would be thoroughly worked
out and remarked that no matter what
was decided he was opposed to giving
up censorship on moving pictures. He
held that it was supervision which the
State would have to maintain.
John Mitchell has been invited to
attend the hearing on the workmen's
compensation acts to be held in the
Capitol on Tuesday. He was asked
by Attorney General Brown to come
here and give the benefit of his ex
perience in administering the law in
New York State. Whether Samuel
Gompers will be here or not is tin- i
known. Governor Brumbaugh said j
this morning that he had no informa- j
tion on the subject, but that he i
planned to attend the hearing.
Favors Brown Bill
I The Governor to-day said that the
1)111 drafted by Attorney General
! Brown to provide that the anthracite
| tax shall go to the road fund was in
I line with his ideas and remarked thai
I the people of the state whence comes
| anthracite coal can be assured of his
i interest and that he would co-operate
i with them and see that their section
: of the state is well provided for when
i the time comes to use the revenue de
! rived from the new tax in improve
i ment of roads.
I "I would like to see the courts act
, speedily on the act of 1913 now before
I them, but it looks as though a couple
| of years must ko by before the con
; stitutionollty is finally determined,"
said he. "The Brown bill will be a
I precautionary measure. There will be
j few to attack the state's right to tax
i anthracite tax as lonK as the distri
i button of the income is uniform."
MODERN COURTHOUSE
AGAIN IN LIMELIGHT

ins was another recommendation. The
Brand jury's report, presented to the
court to-day, is as follows:
"Number of bills presented and con
sidered, 102; number of bills found to
be true. "9; number of bills ignored, 23.
"We further report that we have
visited the Dauphin county prison and
found the same to be in excellent con
dition; we have also visited the alms
house and make the following recom
mendations:
Education Training for Children
"That it be supplied with fire ex
tinguishers throughout; that a fire pa
trol be organized and fire dr'ills be
held with frequent regularity; that
the water power upon the premises
be utilized to generate and supply
electric current for the buildings; that
the three minor children now residing
i at the almshouse and ranging in age
from approximately six to eleven years
be placed by the directors of the poor,
in accordance with the provisions of
the law, in a, suitable home wheFe
they may receive and enjoy an edu
cational training which, under present
conditions, they are unable to obtain.
"We find the Dauphin county court
bouse to be antiquated and entirely
Inadequate for its nresent purposes. It
should be replaced by a modern fire
proof building, large enough to accom
modate the courts and all the offices
of the county."
"St Paul Road" Completes
National Park Entrance
Special to The Telegraph
Chicago, Hi.. March 20. Official
announcement was made yesterday of
the completion of a traffic arrangement
between the Chicago, Milwaukee and
St. Paul Railway and the Oregon Short
Line, which gives the "St. Paul Road"
an entrance into Yellowstone Park, as
a side trip from Butte to Yellowstone,
the Western entrance to tile park. Di
rect connections will be made with the
two limited trains of the "St. Paul
Road." "The Olympian" and "The Co
lumbian."
The addition of Yellowstone Park to
Its route, gives the "St. Paul Road"
pre-eminence among American railways
in point of scenic grandeur. The
Rockies, the Cascades, the Hitter Root j
Mountains, Mt. Rainier National Park I
and now Yellowstone National Park,
are some of the wonderful scenic nt
tractions offered to the tourist over this
route,

We confess in our more youthful
days to dreaming of living in the
times of Pharaoh, of Julius Caesar, or
even of Xapoleon, and of having in
vented the modern motor car, which,
with becoming modesty on our part,
we presented for the use of the then
reigning emperor. And the emperor,
recognizing immediately the advan
tage it gave him over all his enemies,
promptly made us his confidential ad
viser and bestowed upon us his beauti
ful princess and only child, thus
paving the way in the event of his
early demise to our becoming the |

WILL INVESTIGATE
FAST FREIGHT LINES
Local Officials Hear of Inquiry to
Be Made by United States
Government
Local freight officials of the Penn
sylvania and Reading railroads learn
ed to-day that the fast freight lines,
adjunct to or subsidiaries to the vari
ous trunk lines, are to be investigated
by governmental authorities shortly.
Inquiry is to be made Into the rela
tions to the parent lines, methods of
1 operation, etc
; The Union line, popularly known as
the "Star Union," the the Pennsylva
nia's own, even as the Merchants' Des
patch Transportation Line, better
j known as the "M. D. T.," is the New
York Central's, the Continental the
I Baltimore and Ohio's, and the Peipher
Line, a Reading subsidiary,
i The number of such lines, especially
lin Eastern territory, is considerable,
I and those that are in full operation
| are exceedingly profitable enterprises,
i not particularly to the railroads over
j which they operate, but to the higher
j officials of the same.
! Organized and created under such
I conditions, the fast freight lines nec
| essariiy sustain relations to the parent
i railroads similar in many respects to
I those of the express companies operat-
I ing over the same roads.
Financial Slump Stops
Rebuilding of "Maryland"
W. Heyward Myers, formerly of
] Harrisburg, president at the Baltimore.
I Chesapeake and Atlantic Railway
I Company—one of the subsidiary lines
lof the Pennsylvania system—in the
1 annual report of that company, says
l that in view of the company's finan
cial condition and the unfavorable re
! suits of the year, it would be difficult,
,if not impossible, for the railroad to
obtain on reasonable returns the $50,-
000—new capital to replace its steam
er "Maryland," which was recently
burned, and that the Board of Direc
tors has decided that "in view at this
situation, and the question arising as
to the ownership and operation by
railroad companies of steamship lines
under the Panama Canal act, to de
fer all steps looking to the rebuilding
of the steamer, as the incurring of fur
ther debt for that purpose under ex
isting conditions would be unjustifi
able."
Western Maryland Has
Rights For Line Extension
Special to The Telegraph
Baltimore, Md., March 20.—The
Western Maryland Railway has com
pleted the survey for an extension of
the system from Belington, \V. Va., to
Fairmont, and rights of way for a con
siderable portion of the proposed line
have been obtained. Belingrton is the
terminus of the West Virginia Central
branch of the Western Maryland.
Construction of the new lines will
be financed by John D. Dockefeller.
The extension will tap the mines of the
Consolidated Coal Company and en
j able the railway to handle a consider
able amount of tonnage produced by
! the big coal company, in addition to
Ithe tonnage originating at the Mary
i land mines of the Consolidated.
RAILROAD NOTKS
Announcement is made by the
| American Express Company of the ap
\ pointment of Harry Gee as general
: manager, foreign department, in suc
' cession to the late M.- F. Berry.

crop of 1914 is in
the bands of producers. For the last
two month*; efforts have been made to
obtain Information on this point and
the latest figures are that 4,854,000
bushels are held by growers, either for
higher prices or for home use.
Wheat crop conditions for 1915 are
to the effect that on March 1 the crop
was 95 per cent, what can be classed
as an average, this condition being dun
to the alternate periods of freezing
and thawing. It is a decline of 1 per
cent, as compared with January 1, A
larger acreage than usual was sown
last fall.
Eight counties, all In the western
part of the State, show conditions bet
ter than the average in wheat. Greene
county shows 106 xnd Washington 105
per cent, above the average. Other
counties above the average are Butler.
Clarion, Erie, McKean, Mercer and
Westmoreland. Some eastern counties
show the wheat to have been consid
erably affected by the weather.
To Hold Hearing.—The Public Serv
ice Commission has adjourned its sit
tings until April 6, but a number of
hearings' and Investigations will be
held In various parts of the State, the
schedule for which is now being pre
pared. Tho commission will give a
hearing some time in April to the com
plaint of the city of Pittsburgh against
the Central District Telephone Com
pany, which will Involve telephone
service for the Pittsburgh district. Ac
tion in the Philadelphia suburban faro
case will probably be taken before
long.
Education Hearings.—Hearings will
be given by the State Board of Edu
cation next week on bills Involving
educational interests, the board work
ing in conjunction with the commit
tees on education of the two houses
of the Legislature. A number of bills
have been referred to the board at the
request of the Governor and confer
ences will be held with committees
representing directors and others In
terested.
Stute Healthy. Except for somo
isolated outbreaks of typhoid and scar
let fevers In the western end of the
State, the general health reports show
a remarkably good condition. During
February reports to the State Depart -
ment of Health showed less than half
a dozen cases of smallpox.
New Steel Company. The appli
cation for a charter for the Independ--
eni Heater Company, of Steelton, was
Hied at the Capitol yesterday. F. E.
Bailey, J. S. Householder and P. C-
Doll are applicants.
Increase, Filed. —The Front-Market
Motor Supply Company, of this city,
has filed notice of increase of stock
from SIO,OOO to $15,000.
Another Hearing Asked.—Joseph R.
Grundy, president of the Pennsylvania
Manufacturers' Association, last night
in a public letter to Chairman Snyder,
of the Senate committee on judiciary
special, and Chairman Cox, of the
House committee on manufactures, re
quested that another public hearing
on the child labor bills be held at an
early date for the express purpose of
discussing this particular feature.
Case Dismissed.—The Public Serv
ice Commission has dismissed the com
plaint of the Business Men's Associa
tion of Ilatboro for the restoration of
the train which until November 21.
1914, left the Reading Terminal In
Philadelphia at 11.25 p. m. and ran to
Ivyiand. The testimony showed that
there was not sufficient public demand
to require the company to Incur the
expense of the operation of this train.
It was also shown that the people of
Hatboro have two ways to return from
Philadelphia other than bv train.
First, by train to a station at Noble,
on the main line of the Philadelphia
and Reading, and thence by trolley to
Hatboro, and second, directly by trol
ley from Philadelphia through Willow
Grove to Hatboro.
A Saturday Veto.—Governor Brum
baugh to-day vetoed the bill to in
crease the fees of pilots on the Dela
ware river, declaring: the time to in
crease is inopportune.
"The intent of this bill is to in
crease the fees of pilots on the Dela
ware river," he wrote. "These pilots
perform in a capable manner an im
portant service. They deserve a lib
eral compensation for thetr services,
in the present condition of business
it does not appear, that they are now
underpaid. Moreover, this is an un
fortunate year not' only for them but
for all parties In interest in the com
merce of the river. An earnest effort
is being made to increase the business
of the port of Philadelphia. In this
increase the pilots will have a sub
stantial share. All increased fees at
this time would interfere with the
general attractiveness to shippers of
our port. If these pilots will bear
with patience their share of .a gen
eral depresion they will win the good
will of all citizens and as soon as it
can be done in justice they .should bo
given assistance. The time to in
crease charges in the port of Phila
delphia is Inopportune.
To Visit Father.—Governor Brum
baugh is golnj? to Huntingdon to seo
his aged father to-morrow morning.
His father is ill at the old family home
at Markelsburg near Huntingdon and*
the Governor heard to-day that he
had been quite sick. He will spend
the rest of to-day and to-night here
and to-morrow he will go to Hunting
don, returning here at night.
Arbor Days.—Governor Brumbaugh
to-day iixed April 16 and 23 as the
'Spring arbor days.
Opinion on Drug TAW. —Deputy At
torney General Hargest has given an
opinion that the Harrison law regu
lating the handling of drugs exempts
only' officers of any State Government
or of any county or municipality from
its provisions. The opinion given to
the superintendent of the Cottage
State hospital In Phillipsburg holds
that superintendents and other per
sons attached •to State hospitals are
not exenu>t. The opinion says, "It it*
is desirable to have purchases of the
drugs mentioned in the act made by
the proper officers of the State Gov-< •
eminent for yo\ir institution such pur
chases could be made by the proper
State officials and they would not be
within the terms of the act."
The Brumin Case. —Governor Rrum
liauKli will discuss the petition of
C. F. Foley, of Pottsvllle, for an ex
amination of the physical condition
of Judge C. N. Brumm, of the Schuyl
kill county courts, with Attorney Gen
eral Brown when he gets to If. The
petition calls for an examination pre
liminary to compulsory retirement
under State laws which provide for
half pay. Mr. Foley was aottve tn
the movement fftr Impeachment on
March 12. The committee named re
ported against impeachment.
