BILL Fire Marshal to Have Authority Over Local Departments; Bills Passed The House to-day dropped the State Grange's highway commission bill, which was planned to make sweeping changes in Highway Department ad ministration. It refused to drop the Senate blil authorizing the Public Service Commission to name examiners to hold hearings in any county and for direct to the. appellate courts instead of going through the Dauphin county courts. The bill cre ating additional inspectors in the Fire Marshal's department and extending authority oVer fire departments ex cept Philadelphia and Pittsburgh passed finally. The Senate bill giving eminent domain to owners of mines and quarries to secure land for tram ways. drains, ventilating ways, etc., was stricken from the calendar. Bills Passed by the House Among bills passed by the House were; Authorizing religions corporations to amend charters so that rectors or min isters shall be ex-officio chairmen of boards of trustees, etc. Authorizing committees of miners to inspect soft coal mines. Providing for coroner's physicians in counties having between 150,000 and 800,000 population. Four Senate bills regulating con struction of moving picture 1 heaters.

The House also defeated the Hilton bill, regulating means whereby damages to lands caused by fires alleged to be due to locomotive sparks can be determined. The House took a recess until 2.20 p. in.- REPLY TO AMERICAN NOTE EXPECTED SOON [Continued from First Page.] it was framed. One <ou!d equally as well imagine Us contents to lie a speech by Premier Asquith in the House of Commons,'' | Count Von Reventlow, the naval |critic, declares that the German war I zone declaration followed the British declaration, against which America failed to protest. '"The present note, so far as concerns I torpedoed ships, make English con clusions and untrue statements its own," lie writes. "Germany knew what she was doing: when she made her de cision and had considered all possible consequences. "Germany must and will go her way, and leave it to the United States to choose other ocean paths than those through the war zone, if American citizens have a desire to visit Europe in these times and observe how American war materials are prolong ing the bloody war." The Vossische Zeitung merely re marks incidentally that the authorized translation of the American note shows "the same sharp form'' as the version received from the Havss Agency. Gerard Has Given No Indication as to When Note May Be Expected Washington, May 18.—Ambassador Gerard has transmitted no indication from the German Foreign Office as to when a reply to the American note may bo expected. Secretary Bryan said to-day nothing "of any import ance" had been received from the am bassador and that the State Depart ment was without advices as to when the reply would be sent. As to the United States seeking a safe conduct for Dr. Bernhard Dern- Iburg when he leaves the country, Sec retary Bryan said: "We have no offi cial knowledge of Dr. Dernburg," and refuse to discuss the question further. Mr. Bryan also refused to discuss whether the administration was consid ering making further representations to Great Britain over dcla3's to Arnerl can commerce.

YEARS CITY IS CHARGED 122.787 Interceptor Arbitrators' Report Against Municipality Referred to Board of Public Works After a wait of nearly two years. City Council this afternoon received the decision of the board of arbitrators appointed July 20, 1913, to settle the question of charges of "extras" in controversy between William H. Op perman and Company, contractors on the River Front Interceptor, and the city. The report was sent to council by City Solicitor D. S. Seitz and upon motion of Commissioner William H. Lynch, superintendent of streets and public improvement was referred to the Board of Public Works. It will meet Thursday to discuss the future line of action on the city's part. While the decision of thearbitrators admits of no appeal by cRy or con tractor. It is just possible that the question of what are considered ex cessive charges may be contested in court by some tavpayer on a bill of equity. Incidentally it is quite likely that an itemized statment of the arbi trators' charges for services will be asked for. v The official award of the arbitrators to Opperman totals $22,767.09. The award to the city on the various items was $20,806.09, but the city got the benefit of the doubt on a couple of items amounting to $279.79, leaving a net award to the contractor of $20.- 526.30. Interest charges from July 20, 1913, to May 20, 1915, amounted to $2,246.79. a total to Opperman of $22,757.09. The whole estimate of the job was $94,464.54. The claims of Opperman had been about $27,000 on extras; the city contended it should not poy more than $1 3,000. By the award of the arbitrators the fund for the River Front improvement will be SIO,OOO to *12,000 shy if the whole sum is paid to the arbitrators. If the work is to be finished a part of it may be paid the contratcor now and the remainder could be placed at in terest and provided for in next year's budget. Next to the wholly unexpected amount awarded to the eontrcator. the feature of the report that probably amazed municipal circles most was the charges o fthe arbitrators for services. The board consisted of Joseph 1... Shearer, Jr.. Roy G. Cox and Farley Gannett. Each charged $1,500. Tlrey sat but nineteen days to take testi mony although they put in the re mainder of the twenty months going over testimony and preparing the re port. It takes tip less than a page. The stenographer's charges for testi mony. etc.. totals between $1,500 and SI,OOO and there must be paid about SSOO for witness fees. Italians Will Not Make Decision Concerning War Until After Thursday Pv Associated Press Rome. May 17. via Paris. May 18.— The Italian Parliament will be asked Thursday to vote on a bill containing a single clause conferring plenary powers on the government, according to the Giornale D'ltalia. Final ac tion regarding war is not expected un til after that time unless Austria makes the first move which is con sidered unlikely in view of the pacific speeches made in the Hungarian Diet. Beidleman's Efforts to Amend Bill Ineffectual Senator Beidleman made an in effectual attempt in the Senate last evening to amend the Walton House bill amending the Clark third class city law of 1913 to meet local needs and desires. The city solicitors of other cities, however, had the deck stacked against him and the bill went through as it came from the House. It was drawn by the third class city solicitors and is designed, it was stated last night, mainly to smooth out a number of inconsistencies and irregularities in the Clark act. Bill to Concentrate Penitentiaries Passes 1 The Senate last night passed the bill to concentrate the Eeastern and West ern Penitentiaries at the new peni tentiary site in Centre county. Mem bers form the western part of the state, led by Senator Crow, favored the bill, and Senator McNichol, of Phila delphia, made an ineffectual fight to have the measure killed.

A WOMAN'S HAIR AND THE STORY IT TELLS Somebody has said that m women's teeth are milestones indicating her age, but a far more Important fea ture Indicative of years is the hair. Many a woman has kept her youth ful appearance long past middle life because of proper care of the hair, and in this care the first considera tions are absolute cleanliness and a choice of the right shampoo. It is not advisable to use a cleanser made for all purposes, but rather always use a preparation made for sham pooing only. You can enjoy the best that is known for about three cents a shampoo by getting a pack age of Canthrox from your drug gist. Dissolve a teaspoonful in a cup of hot water and your shampoo is ready. After its use the hair dries rapidly with uniform color. Dan druff, excess oil and dirt are dissolved and entirely disappear. Your hair will be so fluffy that it will look much heavier than it Is. Its luster and softness will also delight you, while the stimulated scalp gains the health which insures hair growth.— Advertisement J MAY 18, 1915. Glad to Recommen Fruitola Mrs. Norforth Says She Suffered with Gall-stones for Several Years Without Relief In a letter to the Pinus laboratories, Mrs. Rosa Norforth, Montlcello, Ill says: "I cannot praise Fruitola and Traxo too highly as I consider it saved my life. I suffered with gall stones for several, years and could not get any relief until your preparation was recommended to me. It has been six months since I took the last bottle and I feel that I am entirely well. Have anyone doubting the merit of your preparation write me as I will be only too glad to recommend Fruitola and Traxo to anyone suffering from gall-stones." Fruitola and Traiso aro the names used to identify two preparations that are taken In combination. Fruitola -acts on the Intestinal organs as a pow erful lubricant, softening congested masses and disintegrating the hard ened particles that cause so much suf fering, and expelling the accumulation with almost instant relief. Traxo Is a splendid tonic, acting on the liver and stomach with most beneficial results and Is- recommended In connection with Fruitola to build up and restore FIRE INSURANCE NOT TO COST MORE HERE [Continued from First Page.] —— ,1 suit of the proposed fire insurance rate readjustment the cost of insurance to the small property holder in the resi dential districts would be increased, while the rates in the business districts would be materially unchanged. This rumor was said by Mr. Gilbert to be absolutely false. He declares that on the other hand some of the rates in the business section may be somewhat increased where the fire hazards are shown to be great, but that in the resi dential districts the cost of insuring property will come down. The Middle Department of Under writers was requested to inspect and rerate the city some time ago by the Chamber with the end in view of de creasing insurance costs here if pos sible, it being: generally conceded that the rate here is too high as compared with other cities of like fire risk. But the opinion seems to have gone nhroad. according to the rumors heard in the city, that the rcrating was tot the purpose of'increasing rather than decreasing the rates. It was even hinted that the local lire underwriters intended to "soak" tho small property holders of the city to make up for the' loss of insuring the State Capitol build ing as a result of a recent enactment whereby the State establishes its own fire insurance fund. This report, the local agents say, is ridiculous. President Henderson Gilbert, of the- Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce, said to-day: "The local agents have nothing to do with the fixing of insurance rates. Some properties may, after the re rating', by reason of fire hazard, be subject to higher insurance rates. Our firm, I know, will have to pay a higher rate because of the fir© hazard, but after certain conditions are improved on the property the rate will be de creased. The same thing will happen to other properties in Harrisburg. "By request of the Harrisburg Cham ber of Commerce, the Middle Depart ment of the National Board of Fir© Underwriters is making the readjust | ment of rates. One tiling is certain rates on private residence will be de j creased. Congested sections may, of course, get an increase." President William M. Ko"bison. of the local Board of Underwriters, was emphatic in his denial that any at tempt was being made by local agents to have rates Increased. He said: "If any local agent intimated that an increase of rates would come be cause of the loss of State business, he has no authority to say so, and does, not know what he was talking about.
