LEGISLATIVE NEWS GAME BILLS WING THEIR WAY ALONG Important Changes to the Laws Advocated by Sportsmen Are Approved by Members With the final passage in the Senate yesterday of House bill 515, which ap propriates the hunters' license fund to the amount of some $307,000 to the (tame Commission for the protection and propagation of game and the con currence in the House amendments to the Crow bill, which will permit the citizens of counties to petition for closed seasons on same birds and squirrels, as well as deer and elk, the allied sportsmen's organizations of the state feel that most of the legislation they were especially urging is now safe. The new game code as amended was reported from the Senate game committee and every effort will be made to push it to final passage at once. The new bounty bill, which was recalled from the Governor for the purpose of correcting printer's errors, will no doubt be promptly repassed after the corrections are made and the House is expected to concur in the Senate amendments to the appropri ation bill of the sportsmen which puts the salaries of game protectors at SBO per month and that of the secretary of the Game Commission at $4,500, the same as that paid the Fish Commis sioner. Only about five measures remain to be enacted and all of these, with the exception of the new lish code, have passed at. least one branch of the Legislature. In the Senate there remain the new same code, known as House bill 119; House bill 704, which increases the limit price that may be paid for for estry land; House bill it 63, extending the season for training dogs. and House bill 885, extending the dudes of all forest, game and fish wardens so that they must enforce the laws of all three departments. In the House are the bill authorizing the appointment of thirty new game protectors, the money foi paying whom has already been provided in the appropriation bill: the Walsh bill, known as the lish code; the Buckman bill, preventing foreigners from fish ing. and another bill for which the Bucks county senator is also sponsor, protecting frogs, etc. There is also Representative Lyncli's bill forbidding foreigners to own dogs which will probably be reported from the House game committee at the same time as the Hills bill and one or two minor measures. The attempt of the market hunters to save the last remnant of their trade by striking out of the game code the provision preventing the sale of squir relt and rabbits killed in the state was defeated for the second time in the Senate game committee. The conference committee of the allied sportsmen's organizations ex pects to conclude its work by April 15 unless the Governor should introduce a conservation department measure. l\ S.

COLD STOW ICT em ROASTING Commissioner Fonstt Gets Off With Compliments, bat the Law Is Sadly Handled I The cold storage law of the State was j hammered yesterday afternoon for a I couple of hours when the House health and sanitation committee gave a hear ing on the Senate bUI to repeal the law. It was a largely attended hear ing and men interested in storage in a dozen cities were present. The hearing was marked by a lively assault on the cold storage law by Charles S. Calwell, president of the Corn Exchange Hank of Philadel phia, criticism of the cold storage In vestigation commission for not fur nishing committeemen with copies of its report and by a tribute to the fair ness of Dairy and Food Commissioner Janes Foust by John P. Connelly, Philadelphia councilman. Mr. Foust complimented the cold storage men on the assistance they had given him in enforcing the law and to the good condition in which they kept their plants. John J. McDonald, Francis R. Shat tuck and .Mr. Connelly argued for the . epeal of the law, holding that it made regulations that fell heavily on the cold storage business In Pennsylvania and which opened the door to products from other States. Mr. Connelly said that the fair treatment by Mr. Foust hau been appreciated by the cold stor age men who felt that it was fortunate that he had administered the law in a broad-minded manner and with good sense. He formally thanked Mr. Foust. Both Messrs. Connelly and Calwell called attention to the enormous in vestment in cold storage in the State. J. A. Ohl, Pittsburgh butter and egg storage man, and H. Mlnrichs, Jr., ac tive in the Lake Erie fish industry which represents over a million dol lars, said that some changes in the law should be made rather than all bars be taken down. The same view was taken by J. E. B. Cunningham, attor ney for Pittsburgh storage Interests. Mr. Calwell declared bluntly there was no excuse for the law which im posed burdens and drove out Pennsyl vania produce. He said the markets of Philadelphia contained Chinese eggs, Danish butter, Dutch condensed milk and Argentine meat, while western products are gaining advantage over Pennsylvania products. He said in Philadelphia children are actually go ing to school breakfast less and that it is a poor time to be legislating in any way that will result in destruction of food. He remarked that the business of the country was not being disturb ed by the war or even Washington an [much as by legislation. Mr. Foust said that eggs were cheap er than for years and that owners of storage plants had gone out of the way to help in enforcing the act. "If the law is not right the Legislature should make it right," said he. "Some of the provisions are vague, but it would be a mistake to repeal it. Re peal would be a step backward and I hope there will be no repeal." Mr. Xusbaum, representing the Sharpless Company, argued for the re pealer. He held that the present pure food laws are ample for all pur poses. National Banks May Be Trustees If Bill Passes Legislation that would confer upon national banks the power and privi lege of acting as trustee, executor, ad ministrator. guardian and registrar of stocks and bonds and to hold and con vey realty in trust was introduced in the House by Mr. Luppert, Lycoming.

All trust funds must be kept separate. Authority is conferred on the State Board of Public Charities to change plans for buildings, grounds, plants and repairs, of institutions whose trus tees or managers are required to sub mit them to the board under the terms of a Dill introduced by Mr. Bauerle, Philadelphia.

ABSENT-BONDED JACKIES In times before Lord Fisher, ad miral of the British fleet, became su- / perintendent of the Portsmouth- dock yard, the dockyard was regarded a sort of snug harbor for sailors. In fact, so little work was done there that the place became synonymous with Ineffi ciency, aptly described In the follow ing: I | "Bill, don't do no work now, he's got a Job in the dockyard." On the day of his arrival as superin tendent, Fisher, strolling over the place, met several jackies leisurely sauntering along. "What are you men doing?" he asked. "We're makin' way for some other*. who are bringln' .along an oar," the spokesman answered. Soon five or six lazy-going sailors appeared. . "What are you doing?" asked / Fisher. "We're carryin' an oar," was the an swer. "But I see no oar!* answered the admiral. "Well I'll be blarsted," answered the spokesman, "if we hain't forgot the oar!"— World's Work. 7
