GOVERNOR VETOES
FIVE SNYDER BILLS
State Bank Examiners' Salary
Raiser Is Also Turned Down
by the Executive
Five bills presented in the Seriate
by Senator Charles A. Snyder, Schuyl
kill, to change the State laws relative
to moving picture and other amuse
ment places were announced last night
as vetoed by Governor Brumbaugh.
On the bill legalizing the construc
tion of buildings In use for moving
pictures and vaudeville prior to May
20, 1913. the Governor says that It
purports to remove such buildings
from the supervision of the Depart
ment of Labor and Industry and that
there Cfn be no sound reason for so
doing. "I the fullest protection
of life and health be given the public
when they seek recreation and amuse
ment," says he in his veto.
On the bill exempting from opera
tion of first class city building in
spection certain buildings used for
amusements, the Governor says that
the bill would nullify a decree of a
court and allow maintenance of
menaces to the pubUc. A compan
slon bill exempting some vaudeville
places from operation of the fire
marshal's law was vetoed for the rea
son that nothing should be done that
would lessen safeguards for people.
The bill defining and regulating
amusement places was vetoed be
cause it is part of the series and is
not necessary because others were ap
proved. Relative to the fifth bill,
aimed to repeal certain sections of
the law regulating amusement places
in first class cities, the Governor says:
The sections repealed require all
theaters, etc., to be licensed and that
the bill wipes out the power of the
mayor to prohibit immoral perform
ances. "It takes away the mayor's
power to revoke a license to these
amusement places and it also takes
away the provision requiring that the
license fees shall be paid to the mu
nicipality. The law as it now is safe
guards the morals of the community
and is in every way preferable to
unregulated and unrestrained be
haviour. The surprising thing is that
any one should want this repealer,"
concludes the Governor's message.
The Governor vetoed the Senate
bill to fix the salary of State bank
examiners at $3,000, saying it would
add materially to cost of the" service
and that In the present state of th«
finances it is not wise to increase It
now.
The bill establishing fifty cents a*
the fee for witnesses at coroner's
Inquests was vetoed with the remark:
"A fifty cent fee is a novelty in legis
lative creation. The present law is
adequate. This one is not."
In vetoing the bill regulating term
and election of township supervisors
the Governor says: "It would re
move from office certain persons now
serving and would if carried to its
possible limits, give political groups
the advantage over others. This, of
course, is unfair .and unwise."
The Governor Announced his ap
proval of six bills, including the Sny
der bill establishing under the De
partment of Labor and Industry a
system of regulation of employment
agencies. It is to be directed by a
State bureau under a director and
there are to be branch offices. This
bill and one pending are designed to
give the State free employment agen
cies.
Other bills approved were:
Amending school code by striking
out requirement that debt may be
incurred and bonds issued at time
of assessing and levying the annual
school taxes.
Repealing act of April 28, 1869 for
appointment of inspector of illumin
ating gas for Allegheny county, and
part of act of March 25, 1861, rela
tive to borough of Catasauqua.
Providing method of establishing
title to lands acquired at. a sale for
unpaid taxes or municipal claims.
Amending certified accountants act
of March 29, 1899, by providing that
two members of the examining board
shall be appointed from the eastern
part of the State, two from the west
ern part and one from the central.
Annual examinations are provided for
November instead of twice a year and
shall be held in Phialdelphia and
Pittsburgh.

and costs by Alderman Kramme Sat
urday night on a charge of reckless
driving, brought by William Straub.

CAMP HILL COMPIT
FINALLY DISMISSED
State Highway Department Finds
That Frank R. Downey Was
Not to Blame
The complaint filed against Frank
R. Downey, of Camp Hill, first vice
president of the Motor Club of Harris
burg. on the charge of operating his
automobile in a careless manner, was
dismissed by State Highway Commis
sioner Cunningham after a public
hearing held in the commissioner's
office. The complaint was filed by Mr.
and Mrs. Horace W. Barr, of Sprlng
inont, Berks county. Neither Mr. or
Mrs. Barr were present at the hearing,
although they had been notified of the
time at which It was to be held. Mr.
Barr wrote that It was inconvenient
for him to attend, but did not ask for
a postponement.
The complaint filed against Downey
was that on Sunday, May 30, he ran

WHO URGED PUBLIC
WORKS RESOLUTION?
Commissioners Can't Find Out by
Whose Request Gorgas Offered
His "Stop Work" Measure
By whose request did City Commis
sioner W. L. Gorgas offer his resolu
tion calling for the dismissal of all
the engineers and other subordinates
of the Board of Public Works July 1.
City circles are still mystified about
that.
Commissioners Lynch and Taylor
made a strenuous effort to find out
yesterday afternoon during the discus
sion that preceded the final voting
down of the measure but Mr. Gorgas
declined to enlighten them. ,
Commissioners Bowman. Lynch and
Taylor voted for the indefinite post
ponement of action on the resolution
because as both Mr. Lynch and Mr.
Taylor frequently pointed out It would
not mean a saving of money as Mr.
Gorgas declared, but would merely
mean the shutting down of work on
the various jobs which are so near
completion.
When the Fuss Began
When Mr. Gorgas oltered his resolu
tion a few weeks ago he said he did
so because he thought the city would
be saved money as the engineering ex
penses of the board cost lrom SSOO to
S6OO monthly and that because the
work was so nearly finished, the final
touches could be added by the city
engineer's office. Action was post
poned at the time, and at a subse
quent meeting Mr. Gorgas in answer
to a question of Mr. Taylor admitted
that the measure was not entirely his
own Idea, but that he offered the reso
lution by request, lie declined, how
ever, to state the source.
When the resolution was called up
for final action yesterday Mr. Lynch
moved for indefinite postponement as
he declared its passage would cost a
reflection on the Board of Public
Works, that no money could be saved
because the dismissed men would have
to be hired by the city engineer be
cause they are so thoroughly familiar
with the work, and that the whole
purpose of the measure is to shut
down the operations.
Tribute to Public Works Board
In seconding the motion Commis
sioner Taylor said that he did so in
order to express his confidence in thv
work of the Board and to pay a tri
bute to the excellent manner in which
they had handled the thousands of
dollars of the city's money. "No
money will be saved by this measure
because the same men will have to he
employed to finish the jobs." said he.
"The Board has carried this work
through up to its final stages; the
people of the city have expressed their
confidence in the hi&h character and
lability of the members time and
again by voting for loans of hundreds
of thousands of dollars and they did so
with a peculiar feeling of security be
cause they knew that the Board of
Public Works would spend the money.
It is only common courtesy to the
Board to let them finish the job.
Mr. Gorgas Doesn't Agree
"Well, I don't agree with the gen
tleman." declared Mr. Gorgas, "In that
the resolution is reflecting upon the
personnel o fthe Board in any way.
If the city hasn't the money to pay,
why wouldn't it do what everybody
else does under like circumstances—
quit."
j "Then it doesn't resolve itself into ai
question of saving at all." Interposed
I Mr. Taylor, "it resolves itself Into a
question of whether or not the work
shall stop. Now if a question of sav
ing money for the city be involved
then I would gladly vote to save It;
but if the purpose of this measure is
to stop the work, then I'm most cer
tainly opposed to It.
Who Is Back of Resolution?
"What I should like to know is,"
demanded Mr. Lynch, "why wasn't
the Board considered in this matter
at all? Who is back of it? Who is
'after' 'em."
"Mr. Gorgas has explained what's
back of it." volunteered Mayor Royal.
"He said his purpose was to stop the
work because there is no money.
There is no intention of reflecting
upon the Board.
"Oh, certainly not," agreed Mr.
Gorgas.
Mr. Taylor Asks a Question
"If the directorate of your bank, for
instance, Mr. Gorgas." suggested Mr.
Taylor, "dismissed one of the men who
had been employed by you—and did
not consult you ahout it—wouldn't you
consider that a reflection on your
judgment?"
Mr. Gorgas smile.l and said that the
case wasn't parallel.
"Who or what is back of this? Who
is 'after' the Board?" once more in
sisted Mr. Lynch.
"Question on the motion," called
Mayor Royal.
And when the vote on postpone
ment was called only Mr. Gorgas and
the mayor voted "No." The mayor
said he wanted it understood plainly,
however, that he didn't mean to cast
any reflections on the Board of Pub
lic Works.
Mrs. Barr on the hill leading from a
bridge over the railroad tracks on the
Harrisburg pike near Springmont.
Mrs. Barr, her complaint, said that
she had been thrown forward in the
car and had had her front teeth
knocked out. Barr said in his letter
that he had been obliged to sell his car
because his wife refused to ride in It
after this accident.
The hearing; was set for 2 o'clock
and at that time Downey, accompanied
by his legal representatives of the
firm of Wickeraham & Metzger and
character witnesses in his behalf, was
on hand. Commissioner Cunningham
read the letter from Mrs. Barr and
also the one from Barr. Mr. Metzger
said that in a court of law he would
object to the introduction of Barr's
letter because It contained hearsay
allegatlons as to the ability of Downey
to operate a motor vehicle in the
proper manner. However, since this
was a hearing to determine fact*, the
letter was taken as evidence to es
tablish a case. Commissioner Cun
ningham then a9ked Downey to tell
exactly what had happened on the day
in question and Downey said that he.
had crossed the bridge and started to
descend the steep hill on the other side
when he observed a crowded trolley
car approaching. As the road was
running with water from the heavy
rains, he crowded over to the extreme
right to avoid the possibility of skid
ding through the mud and hitting the
trolley car. At that time, he said, he
noticed Barr's car at the foot of the
hill and motioned to him to stop until
he (Downey) had passed the trolley
car. Downey said that Barr disre
garded his signal to stop, so that when
the trolley car had passed Downey
brought his car to a standstill. At
that moment Barr's car ran into
Downey's. This concluded Downey's
testimony and Commissioner Cunning
bam inquired from Police Captain
Thompson, of Harrisburg. whether or
not he knew Downey to be a sober and
careful driver. The captain replied In
the affirmative. J. Clyde Myton. sec
retary of the Motor Club of Harris
burg. Ikewise testified that Downey did
not partake of intoxicating liquors and
that he knew him to be a careful
operator. In proof of this Mr. Myton
cited the fact that when the Motor
