favorites, in new acts, are due at the

is Sam Mann, the character comedian,
who was at the Orplieum a year or two
ago in "The New Leader." Mr. Mann
this year has the support of an excel

eyes. Trovoto has been around the
world since he was at the Orpheum,
and proved very popular everywhere.
And another duo that will be readily
recalled are Diamond and Brennan, the
pretty girl and the eccentric comedian,
who are this season presenting a new
comedy skit, with music, called "Nifty
Nonsense." Jim Diamond was the long,
lanky and exceedingly eccentric come

important, and which include: The

reads as follows:
"I wish to commend you upon your t
splendid effort to write into your j
statute hooks a law that will permit i
the people of your State to express at i
the polls their wisdom as to the con- |
tinuance of salodns in Pennsylvania.
"I recently had the pleasure of lec
turing in your State on prohibition and
1 am impressed with the interest
manifest.
"he Philadelphia papers, at that
time, made the statement that the
liquor interests controlled your lower
house. That being the case, it will
ta.ke an unusual effort upon your part
to pass a local option law. Kansas has
prospered wonderfully since we have
become almost a perfectly dry State.
I attribute our wonderful individual
wealth, high per cent, of literacy and
freedom from homicide to the absence
of saloons in the State.
"Permit me to wish you success.

POLICE PENSION I
BILLS NEXT WEEK
Harrisburg Will Be Much Inter-j ]
ested in Measures on Which {
Lawmakers Will Act
I
Three bills affecting the pensioning
of employes of cities of the state will
be up before the legislature for con
sideration next week. Two are on
the third reading calendar of the
House and one on the tlrst reading cal
endar of the Senate. Important
changes have been made in all of the
measures since their introduction.
The Dunn bill, providing pensions ,
for employes not now under pension
funds in the various cities, has been
reported from the Senate committee ; '
on municiv- i affairs entirely rewritten, j i
The bill as passed by the House com
pelled cities of the first and second I
class to set aside a sum not to exceed j '■
one-half of 1 per cent, of all taxes
for a municipal pension fund. The !
Senate amends this clause to read: !
"not less \han one-half of 1 per cent,
nor more than 1 per cent, of all taxes."
The original bill also provides that
no employe under 50 years of age
would be pensioned unless totally dis
abled. The Senate amendments fix
this age at 5G years, with the proviso
that an employe who tyas served
twenty years may retire when less
than 55, but his pension will not begin
until he reaches that age. The Sen
ate also places a limit of SIOO a month
on pensions. The original bill pro
vided that each employe pensioned
should be paid through the department
in which 'ie had been employed. The
Senate gives each city the right to de
termine how the pensions are to be
paid.
The Dunn bill, which provided that
10 per cent, of the State liquor license
fees should be paid to police pension
funds of first class cities, has been
amended to include second class cities
and provides that there shall be paid
into the police pension funds of such
cities 5 per cent, of the proportion of
li<iuor licenses returned to such cities.
This bill comes up for final passage in i
the House Monday night.
The Cox bill, which comes up for
final passage in the House Monday
night also, is a revenue producer for
police pension funds. It appli?s, how
ever. to all cities of the State. The
bill provides that 2 per of all
license fees paid into the city treasury
shall go to police pension funds.
