HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH GOVERNOR SIGNS AND VETOES BILL Puts His Signature to One Measure and Puts the Ax to Two Others In approving the House bill in creasing salaries of Philadelphia magistrates from $3.00J to $4,000 a year Governor Brumbatigh to-day is sued a statement in which he said that while he has opposed increases he is mindful of the fact that the minor judiciary has du ties and determines many cases that would otherwise get Into the courts and increase expense and delays. "The Impelling reason for approv ing this bill Is the fact that these magistrates pay rent for their offices and employ at their own expense a clerk and also bear from their sal aries the cost of stationery, stamps and other office supplies. The net salary Is inconsiderable and If men of the type worthy to serve are chosen they should be given this salary. Others should not be allow ed to serve," concludes the Governor. The Governor vetoed the House bill providing that Allegheny county orphans court judges should fix sal aries of assistant clerks, holding that the salary board should pass on the salaries and that 1 if such power was to be given to the judges it should bo uniform throughout the State. In vetoing a House bill to refund money paid by a Pittsburgh concern for a oleomargarine license the Gov ernor says there is nothing in the bill to show that the company was misled by any State official and that it a mistake was made it was the company's own act. Governor Brumbaugh to-day ve toed a bill which was an echo of the special session of the Senate of 1883. It was to pay SSOO to the es tate of the late Joseph P. Kennedy, who was a senator from Philadel phia. The Governor says that the bill was designed to pay the senator for attending the session. "The claim is ancient," says the Gover nor. "No reason is given for this long delay. No assurance is given that he attended this extra session. The title provides for a refund an'd the body of the bill provides not for a refund but for a payment. The fact is that there is no refund in volved. It is a claim made after a third of a century* and is not sup ported by sufficient evidence to war rant its recognition. This claim should have been attended to long, long ago and this delay does not add to the credibility of the obligation." |: HIGHSPIRE:: To Hold Highspire Commencement Tonight The fourteenth annual commence ment of the Highspire High school will bo held in the United Brethren Church this evening.

THE BANNER STILL WAVES Philadelphia, May 31.—The great grandson of the man who wrote the "Star Spangled Banner" Is to follojv Old Glory on the battlefields of France.

Bar tow's home Is In Englewood, N. J. He entered Pennsylvania Military College last September and expects to return to hi* class after service 1b Franc*. CAPITOL SALARY BILL DISCUSSED MeNichol Measure Will Be Dropped and Burke Bill Sub stituted in the Senate what increases of IvxOsA ssalaries5 salaries are to he "5 State government high cost of living I and other matters 11l JwfflMWllnlttf whlch are being MJalKWll [fyf¥ urged as reasons pgPHUiailHl why more money should be voted to the attaches of the government will be settled In the Senate next week. The latest Infor mation is that the McNickol salary adjuster, which fixed every salary in the State government and was a monumental piece of work, the result of long labor and study, is to be abandoned and instead the Burke bill, which includes some of the fea tures of the Crew bill, will be passed. The Burke bill, in brief, gives an Increase of Jl5O per year to all per sons on the State pay roll receiving less than $1,500 per year. There are scores in that class, many of whom get $1,200 to $1,300 and there has been no change in their salaries for years. Efforts may be made to ad vance persons getting more than $1,500, but it Is not likely that they will get by. The Burke bill would increase the pay roll by about $300.- 000 a year. The MeNichol bill meant SBOO,OOO. It is said that the Governor is not disposed to pass any more salary raisers over his desk although there are some big ones on the lists. The bill to Increase the salary of the Gov ernor would not affect him as under the law he could not accept any of It. Neither the increasg of the salar ies of the compensation board nor the jump in salaries of legislative at taches will be approved, it is said. State Funds Decline. One of the reasons why the State Defense Com mission has been so chary about voting much money to the Public Safety committee will be manifest to-night when the statement of the business of the State Treasury for May is announced. The State's reve nues generally strike the sliding board in May and it is said that the decrease in income as compared with March and earlier months will be notable. During May, June and July the State authorities contract pay ments as much as possible because in the late summer payment of the State school appropriation becomes due and it is necessary to husband money to meet this big demand. Commission to Meet. The State Defense Commission has been called to meet in the office of Governor Brumbaugh to-night to discuss fu ture plans, notably those to be adopt ed in connection with the registra tion. At the request of Governor Brumbaugh, Attorney General Brown went to Washington to secure Information on certain points in the registration.

WANTS NO TERRITORY By Associated Press Amsterdam, May 31.—The decla lation is made by the semiofficial Nord Deutsche Ailgemeine Zeitung, of Berlin, that Germany desires no extention of territory for the pur pose of aggrandizement or of politi cal or economic accretion of power.
