USELESS LAWS TO BE STRICKEN OFF New Bills Prepared to Clear the Statute Books of Acts Long Since Dead Bills providing V\\ J //) for striking of VV \\ close to 1.000 ob yy\\\ solete, duplicate SrKxjS? f and otherwise use less laws from the statute books of the State are being llJMwmMWtf prepared at the UaglnllijlßT State Reference KSitIUUII Bureau and will F*?— probably be com ■HMnSSBI pleted the latter part of the month. During the ses sion of 1915 an "omnibus repealer" was passed which would have taken about the same number of laws from the books, but It was vetoed for the reason that there were some doubts! about the procedure in including laws of vurious subjects In one repealer. In all probability there will be grouping of old laws according to sub jects so that all of the same class will be under a similar heading. There may be fifty or sixty such bills, all depending upon the number of bills to be repealed. No attempt will be made to repeal any bills except those which have been declared unconstitu tional by the courts, which have been repealed, but not stricken from the books; which have been superseded or duplicated. The work is in charge of James X. Moore, director of the bureau. Big Questions Up.—Questions in volved in alleged encroachment upon territory of a public utility company will be heard by the Public Service Commission during the coming week, the points being raised in Lawrence I county, while numerous other cases i be argued, including the com plaint asking for changes in the Balo- Cynwyd station of the Pennsylvania railroad and the rerouting of cars on some sections of the Pennsylvania Rapid Transit system.

Philadelphia's farming districts slumped twenty per cent, in the area under cultivation in 1916 as compared with 1915, accord ing to some crop reports received at the Capitol from the farms of Phil adelphia. Inability to get labor for the intensive farming which marks the agricultural region in the north eastern part of the city is given as the reason. Town and Canal.—A case involving a contract between the only incor porated town in Pennsylvania, which happens to be Bloomsburg, and the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western railroad is scheduled to come before the Public Service Commission on Monday. The town and the railroad want to arrange to fill up the old ca nal bed and lay tracks. All other municipalities in Pennsylvania are either boroughs or cities.

Compliment For Francies. —Consid- erable space is being given by news papers to the excellent work being ac complished by Warden John Francies, of the new western penitentiary, in making the prisoners adhete to rules without standing over tnem. Mr. Francies has put the men on a com monsense plane and the men are showing they appreciate it. Visitors to- Cupitol. The subsid ience of the interest in legislative matters which followed the adjourn ment of the legislators caused a big drop in the number of visitors to the Capitol, On some days the number was very small indeed. Printing Adjusted. Difficulties over the authority to order printing for departments of the State govern ment and the Legislature during a vacancy in the office of superintendent of public printing and binding were adjusted to-day and orders given for some needed printing, while a formal opinion will be given by the Attorney General's Departmeat on Monday.

A case might be brought to the courts and the guilty parties punished, but the election would stand."

It is not only here, however, that the Seretli line is threatened for de spite a tenacious defense by the Rus sians and Rumanians, the line north westward beyond the Buzeu river Is not holding well against the Teutonic pressure, while the efforts to keep the Teutons in check in the Moldavian frontier valleys is apparently proving still less successful. A break in this line on the south erly front would imperil .the Mold avian frontier portion while the pierc ing of the frontier line itself not an apparent improbability, would en danger the entire line running south west ward to the Danube. In these circumstances, commenta tors in entente capitals are consider ing the possibility of the Russians be ing compelled to abandon the line of the Sereth and withdraw to the Rus sian frontier, or beyond it to Bess 'arabia. The French, British and Italian premiers and important military sub ordinates in several entente ministries are holding a war council in Rome for consideration of the general situa tion.

Jan. 6. Complete renovation of Broad street station and the erection of a large addition to the present building, so that the terminal will front on the new parkway when that project is finished, are being planned by Pennsylvania railroad offi cials. The improvements will cost several million dollars. News of this latest addition to the number of public and private build ings that are to line the parkway be came known yesterday afternoon, and was immediately confirmed by officials of the company. Plans for the project are being completed now by Pennsyl vania engineers. The addition to the present terminal building will be along the lines of the Pennsylvania railroad's handsome ter minal in New York City, and when completed will make the station here not only one of tha largest in the country, but also one of the most beau tiful. Frontage oil Parkway Tinder the the new front to the station will run along the lower side of the parkway from Fifteenth street to Sixteenth and will be erected on ground that now is owned by the company. Negotiations are now pend ing between the city and the com pany for the erection of the building. News of the railroad's intention to renovate Broad street station and erect a handsome addition on the parkway cahie to light in connection with the application tiled last week by Transit Director William S. Twining for a cer tificate of public convenience author izing the city to proceed at once with the construction work on the new- Broad street subway. Stop Original Plans Originally it was intended to have the Pennsylvania railroad use this tunnel jointly with the city for the operation of its trains between North Philadelphia and Broad street station. Subsequently a plan was outlined for a Pennsylvania railroad owned subway in Filbert and Thirteenth streets and Ridge avenue. This was considered for several weeks by Pennsvlvania rail road officials, but its cost was said not to be justified by the demands on the company at this time, and this plan was abolished, too. The rebuild ing of Broad street station and the ud dition thereto were considered more practicable. Director Twining let it be known yesterday that the railroad company practica ly had given up all intention's of building a subway in this city.
