DUPLICATION OF
PAY ENDED IN 'ls
Lamentable Lack of Knowl
edge About Some Recent
Legislative Enactments
| Men connected with the disbursing
and legislative ends of the State gov
ernment to-day declared that there
appeared to be a lamentable lack of
knowledge of the provisions of the act
of 1915 relative to pay of legislative
employes prevalent in quarters in
Harrisburg presumed to be well in
j formed.
! It was said at legislative offices that
j the act of 1915 was passed to stop
| duplication of pay and that employes
I were not "doubled up" between the
| organization of the two houses and
the naming of new employes.
The conditions were to-day de
scribed as follows: "Men carried over
from the session of 1915 and not re
appointed were paid from the start of
the session to.January*22 and men re
appointed will be paid for one month
| and no more, while new appointee*,
j will be paid from the day they were
put into place and not from the start
of the session. Men appointed to new
places, where the salary is different
from the place they held in the session
of 1915, will be paid at the salary
lixed for their old place until January
22 and for the remainder of the month
at tl.e pay of the new place."
A case in point, is the speaker's
page in the House. This page was a
senate page at $2 a day and will be
paid for that until the 22nd when he
I became speaker's page. He will be
| paid $3 a day from the 22nd.
As far as knowft no Democrats since
the days of Jesse J. Lybarger are on
I record as having refused to take any
i pay and whether Mr. Bybarger finally
j cashed his check after getting due
j publicity in a certain democratic
i newspaper is occasionally the subject
!of a guessing game on Capitol Hill.
| One man to-day said relative to the
: objections to the high cost of prayers
j that he wondered whether the Demo
| crats thought prayer should be dis
pensed with.

i onference.
Washington, Jan. L' 7. V— After an
unsuccessful attempt had been made
yesterday to reach an agreement be
tween the Democrats and Republicans
on the disposition of the resolution in
troduced by Senator Borah reaffirming
the faith of the Senate in the Monroe
Doctrine and Washington's advice to
avoid "entangling alliances" the Idaho
Senator declared in a speech before
the Michigan Society last night that
all proposals of alliances and leagues
to enforce world peace inevitably
would commit the United States to a
course in direct conflict with the policy
of Washington and Monroe.
"If the people of this country want
to enter European politics, the Sen
ator said, "take part in Euro
pean controversies, become en
tangled in its dynastic dissensions;
if they want to furnish money ami
soldiers, ships and men to be subject
to the call of some tribunal or league,
in which tribunal we will have but one
vote, very well.
"The people have a right to enter
that perilous course if they choose,
for this is the people's government.
But let us understand perfectly what
it means before we take the step. Let
us not be deceived nor deceive .our
selves. We should debate and con
sider every step before we take it. for
these are the steps which, once taken,
it is impossible for a people to re
trace.
"pnce in the maelstrom of Euro
pean politics and it will be almost
impossible to get out. Once involved
in the matter of economically boy
cotting or in the matter of enforcing
decrees by military force, it will be
virtually impossible to get back to
the policy under which we have lived
and strengthened for more than a
century.
"The singular and startling vicious-
I ncss of this whole proposition of a
I league to insure peace or enforce
peace is this:
"We enter the league; we contribute
our portion of ships and soldiers for a
police force of the world—a force
large enough and strong enough to
crush those who do not submit their
vital interests s to arbitration or con
ciliation. Then some question arises
as to immigration, citizenship or of
territorial propinquity to which we de
cline as a people to submit, especially
to a tribunal so
numbers against us. Then we have
agreed in advance that this force
which we have helped to create shall
attack and assail us as a people.
•'Without assuming to assail indi
viduals, 1 denounce this principle as
| perfectly vicious, us perfectly heinous,
indefensible in morals and not even
hardly a proper subject for these 4ift
| er-dinner speeches."

Washington, Jan. 27. Demand
ing undivided loyalty to America and
the abandonment of citizenship on
the "50-50 basis," and characterizing
the Hay bill with being "as foolish and
unpatriotic legislation as was ever put
on the statute books," former Presi
dent Theodore Roosevelt went on to
pay his respects to the "male and fe
male apostles of folly and fatuity."
who have denounced preparedness, in
a letter of smashing directness read
before the third session of the Na
tional Security League at Washington
yesterday.
The session was also enlivened by
an attacks by Ludwig Nissen, a resident
of Brooklyn, N. Y., on Elihu Root's
speech, Mr. Nissan's remarks being
greeted with hisses and cat-calls and
cries of "stop him!" and "put him
out!"
The third feature of the session was
the characterization of America as
being composed of "an undisciplined
people, physically, morally and intel
lectually," and urging the considera
tion of essential fundamental princi
ples as preliminary to the prepared
ness which the country should aim at.
"Most Vital Moment"
Colonel Roosevelt began his letter,
with expressions of regret at his In
abilit.' to be present, and proceeded to
speak of the movement as the most
vital of the moment for the ultimate
honor and welfare of the country.
Declaring that preparedness must
he of the soul no less than the body,
Colonel Roosevelt stigmatized "pros
perity-at-any-price, peace-at-any
price, safety-first instead of duty first,
the love of soft living and the get
rich-quick theory of life" as the things
that will destroy America, if accepted.
"Citizenship must mean an undivid
ed loyalty to American," he said.
WHEAT MARKET BROKE
Chicago, Jan. 27. Severe breaks
in the price of wheat resulted to-day
from heavy selling duo largely to
peace rumors. The sharpest decline
was in the May option which fell in
some cases more than seven cents,
touching 174',4 as against 181 % to
ll% at yesterday's linlsh.
Uemarkable absence of export buying
contributed in a notable way to the
weakness.

Chautauqua have linajly decided to
hold a Chautauqua again this summer
and July 14 to 20 has been set for
the date.—G. Allen Yohe, clerk to the
county commissioners, sent out notices
to the constables in all the districts in
the county to kill all dogs in'their dis
tricts upon which the tax has not been
paid.—Perhaps no shorter time has
ever been taken in the Adams county
courts for the formal opening, with
the returns from the constables and
all the other preliminaries, and the
disposing of the criminal cases. All
this was done in just six hours.
SENATE AT GRIPS
OVER PROGRAM
Entanglements to Force Extra
Session or Delay Pet
Measures
Washington, Jan. 27. Echoes of
Thursday night's turbulent caucus of
Senate Democrats and failure yester
day of the Steering committee to agree
on a program for the few remaining
weeks of this session emphasized the
serious entanglements over legislation
which threaten either to force an ex
tra session of Congress or abandon
ment until next winter of several im
portant administration measures.
It became known that the threats
and counter-threats followed in quick
succession in the caucus when it was
proposed to put certain bills on the
legislative program to the exclusion
of others.
Railroad labor legislation urged by
the President, was one target for at
tack, particularly tbo strike prevention
feature, although it generally was
agreed that some form of legislation
on this line should be enacted before
adjournment. In fact, some adminis
tration leaders believe that failure to
do so would furnish the only possible
motive for the President to call an
extra session.
Southern Senators Aroused
The Corrupt Practices bill was vig
orously opposed by Southern Sena
tors, who declared they would not
yield to Federal control of elections
proposed in the measure. They will
submit various amendments, but
champions of the bill already are op
posed to the proposed changes and
there seems little prospect for final
action at this session if any other
measures are to be enacted.
There still is wide disagreement
over watci power bills, and several
Progressive Republicans have given
notice that they will talk until March
4 against the Webb bill, to permit col
lective foreign selling agencies for do
mestic corporations, if it is pressed
for a vote. The Flood Control bill
also is in almost hopeless dispute,
i Some administration leaders said
that, in their opinion, revenue legis
lation, some form of railroad labor
regulation, a mineral lands leasing bill
and the regular appropriations event
ually would constitute all that could
be accomplished before adjournment.
If this much can be done they do not
believe the President would call an ex
tra session, in view of the uncertainty
of organization in the next House.
Show Will Be Most
Attractive of Local Events
"More space for the auto show" is
the cry, but no more is available.
Every foot has been allotted, but other
applicants are desirous of securing
representations. Even though there is
about 7,000 more square feet than
usual, the show is growing year by
year beyond the capacity of any avail
able building. To-morrow men will
be put to work by J. Clyde Myton
painting the entire first floor a pure
white. Collars of laurel will sur
round the columns and streamers of
laurel will trail down the white pillars.
The entire color scheme will be white
and green.
One hundred palms will be placed
along the aisles and standards with
! tl.e names of the various cars will be
| features this year that will add to the
! attractiveness of the exhibit. The
1 aisje space is greater than in other
| years, affording greater comfort to
j the public and permitting a better
1 arrangement of exhibits. All ex
jlilbitors are taking special pains to
make the respective displays as
I beautiful as possible. So the com
bined efforts of the committee and
'the dealers Is to make tl-is the finest
automobile show this city has ever
I seen.
