II MBBWKIfiU from the Public
AkjTOlllfll il ¥ Service Commission
JCa3sJwtJa| un ,j which Is re
garded as the ad-
ministration bill.
Under the terms of this bill there
can be appeals taken from the de
cision of the commission only when
questions arise whether the commis
sion has jurisdiction, whether the au
thority of the commission has been
properly exercised; whether the ap
pellants' rights have been prejudiced:
whether there wan competent proof:
whether the action of tho commission
is contrary to tho constitution or laws.
The criticism is made that it gives
the commission too much authority
and abridges the right of appeal, but
it is contended in answer that it would
limit appeals to important questions
instead of having eVery other case
taken up.
Another clause permits appeals now
pending in the Dauphin county court
to be appealed to tho Superior court
and provides that appeals can be
taken to the Supreme court only in
event that the Superior court grants
an order.

His Loyalty Is of the
Old Turncoat Variety
aDrius Sourbier was saved from mob
bing late yesterday afternoon by the
timely arrival of Patrolmen Pat. Hoff
man and John Hess.
Sourbier was waxing eloquent on the
German situation and was loud in his
praise of Germans and German meth
ods. His vision was slightly distorted
by the fact that he seemed to be very
much "under the influence" of liquor.
The officers did not take a chance on
any trouble but hurried him to the po
lice station and gave him tome' to
think it over. Once the steel door
closed Sourbier quickly changed his
views.
He proceeded to harrangue the pris
oners on the greatness of the American
nation and his own loyalty to the flag.
After he was given time to sober up
he was allowed to go free.
