NO COMPENSATION GOVERNOR WONT
FOR MRS. VARGO TALK OF CHANGES
Referee's Refusal to Pay Widow
of Man Killed in Strike
Riot Upheld
The State Compensation Board in
un opinion by Commissioner John A.
Scott, concurred in by other members
of the board, has upheld Keferree T.
J. Dunn, Pittsburgh, in refusing com
pensation to Mary Vargo, widow of
a man killed by a shot from the ritle
of a deputy during the labor disturb
ances of last Spring at Braddock.
The opinion says that the man was
not at the time he was shot in the
course of his employment by the com
pany whose works the deputies were
guarding and dismisses the appeal
with the remark that "the whole af
fair is most unfortunate and a dis
tressing tragedy."
In an opinion by Chairman Mackey
the board upholds Mr. Dunn in
awarding compensation to John It.
and Julia Shipe, Crafton. The father
is an engineer but is in poor health
and cannot work regularly. The son
was killed while operating an auto
mobile and contributed to support of
parents. The opinion says that "reck
less indifference to danger manifested
by the deceased in the operation of
an automobile" does not bar recovery
as both deceased and defendants were
under the act and such a defense can
not be urged.
A new hearing has been awarded in
Brown vs. Johnson, a McKean coun
ty compensation case.

HAHKESBURG TELEGRAPH
Silent on Reported Resigna
tions; Baldwin and Cox
Both Confident
Governor Martin G. Brumbaugh
thisafternoon refused to discuss re
ports that he contemplated making
changes in the State governmental
officials or the reports that the resig
nations of certain officials much in the
rumors o fthe day would be asked.
"I know nothing about them. lam
not responsible for all the stories that
are going about?"
"What arc you going to do about
dismissals?" was (hen asked.
"I will use the power the people have
given me for the best interests of the
people. If 1 make changes it will lie
on that principle. 1 will not remove
any man who is_ loyal or efficient. 1
have been studying the problems here
for two years and have my own opin
ions and will take up the cases one
by one," was the Governor's com
ment.
t There were rumors that Insurance
Commissioner O'Neil and Highway
Commissioner Black would change
places, but nothing on which to base
the report could be found to-day. It
was much discussed especially after
Mr. Black had talked with the Gover
nor. but was generally regarded as un
likely. The Governor refused point
blank to discuss if as even a possi
bility. Me also refused to talk about
Banking Commissioner Smith or Chief
of Mines Roderick.
Removals are not a popular topic
at the executive department as the
Government is not inclined to take
harsh measures, but is being urged to
do so to help the Cox boom. No man
will be sure he is going until he gets
a letter. Mr. Smith is expected to
day or to-morrow and will be asked to
retire.
After seeing various members-elect
to-day the Governor said: "I am con
vinced that Mr. Cox will be elected
and that the statements of the other
side are without foundation."
Rivals in the City
Mr. Cox was in town and appeared
to be very confident, too.
Very confident expressions were also
made by Representative Richard J.
Baldwin at his headquarters in the
Commonwealth hotel. Mr. Baldwin
came to town last night and promptly
claimed 110 men with more in pros
pect. This afternoon he said that he
had been pledged some additional
votes and that he looked for more.
Congressman-elect T. W. Templeton,
of Luzerne, was with him and he said
he expected Auditor General-elect
Snyder and State Treasurer-elect Kep
hait here later in the week to help.
Senator-elect T. Larry Eyre will also
be here in a day or so.
Ex-Insurance Commissioner Charles
Johnson, serene and confident, visited
the Baldwin headquarters and said
that the man from Delaware was a
sure winner, evoking the remark from
a bystander, "Johnson don't bo wrong
on speakers."
Mr. Baldwin expects to l>e here all
week and to meet the members as
they come in. His friends say he
has received word that a number who
have been wired for b ythe Governor
will also see him.
Governor's Callers
The Governor's callers were Repre
senatives D. W. Thomas, Luzerne, who
told the Governor he was for Baldwin;
D. J. Snyder, Westmoreland; A. D.
Miller, Susquehanna, and Lex X.
Mitchell, Jefferson, the latter three be
ing for Cox. Mr. Mitchell was very
strong about Cox and his statement is
significant as he is a pastgrand Bull
Mooser.
Mitchell Talks
Mr. Mitchell said, "The real issue
involved in the present contest for
speaker is not alone local option, nor
is it otie of factional control, but rath
er whether or not the progressive leg
islation which was placed on the
sttute books of Pennsylvania during
the last two sessions of the Gentral
Assembly for the relief of men, wom
en and children engaged in industry
and for the free expression of the
popular will, shall remain and not be
mutilated or destroyed.
"Speaking from the standpoint of
a former member of the Progressive
party familiar with the feelings and
aspirations of the Progressive element
of the Republican party, the dominant
element, I am convinced that the elec
tion of any man as speaker, who has
a record of opposition to the human
itarian lcj4i;ilation placed 011 the statue
books of Pennsylvania during the past
four years, will he bitterly resented by
the rank and tile of the Republican
part* and the people in general. It
would spell defeat for the Republican
party in the Keystone state, and pos
sibly in the nation.
"The recent election again demon
strated the independence of the voter
nad that he will no longer blindly
follow. It is not a question of what
his party has done, but what it is
doing and going to do."
Jlagw' Meets Governor
After the legislators had gone Attor
ney General Brown. Commissioner
O'Xeil and Commissioner Magee, had
a conference with the Governor at
which it is intimated that the Gover
nor had decided not to do any chang
ing about the Highway department but
to request its head to help where he
could.
Mr. Magee is just here from Alle
ajieny county and said that it looked
like a majority of that county's dele
gation was for Cox.
A. Kevin Detrlch, of Chambersburg,
was about the Capitol, but seemed to
be more interested in asking who
would be named to succeed County
Treasurer Frank Skinner, of Franklin
county, who died a few days ago, than
in the reports that he might succeed
A. Nevin Pomcroy.
McKirdy Resigned.'
It is understood that James Mc-
Kirdy, assistant director of the legis
lative reference bureau, tendered his
resignation to-day. There is much
guessing over his successor. C. W.
Wacker, Philadlephla, and John 11.
Fertig, Pottsville, are being boomed
for the place.
In the midst of it all J. Banks Kurtz,
the Altoona lawyer who could have
been Public Service Commissioner if
he had wanted to. dropped in to see
the Governor for just a plain friendly
call and enjoyed chats with the many
friends he found about the depart
ments.

When the proceedings opened Jo
seph \V. Shannon, counsel for Lyndon j

but his objections were overruled by |
Judge Kunkel, who claimed the proper j
jurisdiction lay in the local court and j
the Union Casualty application hear-j
mg was ordered to go on. Just be-j
fore the opening of this hearing Judge j
McCarrell handed down the Pension!
Mutual dissolution decree.
Examiners Testify
Deputy Attorney General Horace W.
Davis said the Commonwealth hoped
to show the Union Casualty Company
was insolvent through the testimony
of examiners. Frederick Graves,
State insurance examiner, was the lirst
witness called. He presented a report
to the effect that a number of claims
had been cancelled by the company
following his tirst investigation and
that he found a shortage of $81,058.58
at the conclusion of his second inves
tigation.
P. H. Wolfe, of New York City, in- 1
surance expert, testified that lie had |
examined the report of Examiner i
Graves and found his investigations to
have been made according to law. j
Other examiners who testified to hav
ing found irregularities were William ]
J. Honey and John W. Hees'e. Honey j
declares he found claims that were j
"covered up" through the company's!
card system.
5T.50(1 For "Fidelity"
Examiner Heese called attention to ]
two items, each covering the payment
of $7,500 to Lyndon D. Wood and H.
G. Welch, both of hiladelphia.
When Thomas Wood, secretary of
the company, was called he declared
the Union Casualty Insurance "minute
book" had been turned over to the
federal court under orders and that l
notwithstanding that he had pre- i
viously been subpenaed to appear in i
the Dauphin county court with the
minute book, he had obeyed the call
order of the United States District
Court in Philadelphia.
Secretary Wood stated that the
sums of $7,500 had been paid Lyndon
D. Wood and H. G. Welsh "for fidelity
and interest in the company's affairs."

After being advised by the hospital surgeons that
his badly crushed finger must be amputated, a De
troit mechanic went to a prominent physician, who
by means of using lon-o-lex Unguent (the new
scientific discovery for the treatment of local in
flammation) was able to quickly heal the wound and
save the finger from amputation.
This remarkable UNGUENT, the discovery of
English scientists, is daily being used by the British
Red Cross doctors and hospitals, one military hos
pital alone using over 250 gallons in six weeks. It
is doing truly wonderful things for the sick and
wounded.
The same great success has attended the use of
lon-o-lex Unguent in America, where it has recently
been introduced for the treatment of pneumonia,
bronchitis, appendicitis, erysipelas, neuritis, acute
rheumatism, eczema, tonsilitis, coughs, colds, and
many other inflammatory diseases. It contains no
opiates, narcotics or other harmful drugs whatsoever.
lon-o-lex Unguent can be secured in Harrisburg
from Kennedy's Medicine Store. Prices 50c and
SI.OO. Write the lon-o-lex Co., Detroit, Mich., for
free booklet of information.
