EQUAL RIGHTS BILL
IS PASSED BY HOUSE
Big Delegation of Colored People
Cheer Adoption of the
Measure
The hill giving equal rights in places
of public entertainment to every per
son regardless of race, color or creed
was passed finally in the House to-day
by a vote of 138 to 34 after an hour
of speech making. The gallery was
filled by colored people and when the
vote was announced there was a burst
of applause and much waving of
handkerchiefs.
"When the bill was called up Sir.
Phillips, Clearfield, moved to post
pone action indefinitely, saying there
was already a law on the subject, Mr.
Stein, Allegheny, sponsor for the bill,
made an extended argument in behalf
of the bill, saying it should be voted
upon in a spirit of justice. He called
attention to the fact that to-day is
the fiftieth anniversary of the death of
Lincoln .the Kmancipator, and de
clared that the bill was a Republican
party platform pledge. The act of
18S7. be held, is not enforceable. The
colored people, he said, own 20,000,000
acres of land and 000,000 buildings.
Mr. Xissley, Dauphin, declared he
would vote for the bill regardless of
the platform, as he considered the
race liad been outrageously discrimi
nated against, but mostly by foreign
horn people. He said he knew of in
stances and meant to end them if he
could. Mr. Xissley was heartily ap
plauded.
Mr. Baldwin, Delaware, said there
was enough law on the subject and
that the bill would only aggravate
conditions. He remarked that people
must realize social conditions and
should not do anything to make
trouble. Mr. Wildman promptly chal
lenged the man from Chadd's Ford
and declared his position was wrong.
The motion to postpone was lost
and the roll call followed. The Dau
phin. Lebanon and Cumberland men
present voted for the bill.
Tn the hall was a delegation of
Allegheny county colored men, headed
by Chairman Frank R. Steward, of the
colored Republican committee of Alle
gheny county, who has been active in
behalf of the bill.
The Howarth bill providing for a
State system of licensure for barbers
was defeated in the House to-dav. the
vote being TIL* noes to 48 ayes. A bill
i with a similar object was defeated ten
I days ago.
The House passed the joint reso
j lution for printing of the report of
the State commission on revision of
{ penal laws, which had been recalled
from the Governor.
| other bills passed were:
Authorizing Commissioner of Health
to accept private donations for o union
I chapel at the State sanatorium near

j Authorizing foreign land companies
to hold real estate In Pennsylvania.

Old Liberty Bell Will
Likely Go to Exposition
By Associated Press
Philadelphia, April 14.—A deter
mined effort will be. made at to-mor
row's meeting of city councils to se
cure the passage of an ordinance per
mitting the removal of the historic lib
erty bell from its shrine in Indepen
dence Hall to the Pennsylvania build
ing at the San Francisco Exposition,
where it will be exhibited until the
close of the fair.
Mayor Blankcnburg and leaders in
councils favor the movement and are
willing to see the necessary money ap
propriated for the expense of the trip.
I Heretofore the proposition has been
| opposed mainly by patriotic orders and
by bodies of women who fear that the
precious relic might be destroyed in a
railroad wreck or some other accident.
Now those favoring the exhibition of
the bell in the far western city have
secured the support of Admiral Dewey
and General Miles and the influence of
these distinguished officers is being
felt so strongly that there is little
doubt that the bell will be permitted
to go away, properly guarded by Phil
adelphia policemen.
Commission Will Not
Give Case Rehearing
The Public Service commission has
refused the petition of the Pennsylva
nia railroad for a rehearing in the
Wood side station rase from tijis coun
ty. The commission recently ordered,
on complaint of Charles S. Keet'er,
that station facilities be improved.
The commission acted on a dozen
cases, most of them of considerable
importance on rates In the western
part of the State. The York Railways
company was given the right to pur
chase securities of .the ' Merchants'
Electric company.
One of the big cases decided was
that a railroad cannot collect demur
rage for cars on a private siding.
The Reading. Birdsboro and Potts
town company was refused a right to
extend tracks because of lack of pub
lic necessity.
