No fishing vessels met with dis aster.

LEGISLATURE SALUS TRANSIT BILL DEFEATED Philadelphia Measure Beaten 1 in House After Long and Bitter Fight The Salus Philadelphia transit bill, which Mayor Smith came here from the Quaker City to put through,! was defeated in the House late yea-j terday, but was an awful long time) dying. It was early this morning when it was given what were j thought to be final strokes, but ef- j forts to resuscitate were reported as I about to be undertaken. The bill came to a vote after a' breezy debate in which it was called "vicious and dishonest" and Mayor j Smith was roasted, Mr. Aron ac- ! cused of "kidnaping" the bill being the central figure. The bill was first taken up out of order by 96 to 63 and then defeated by 96 to 82. It needed 104. The Mayor and other prominent Philadelphlans saw it de feated. An attempt to get the Salus bill beforeUhe House again was defeat ed about 10 o'clock, when a mo tion made by Mr. Lewis, Jefferson, to reconsider the vote by which thej bill was defeated at the late after- j noon session was voted down by 94 | to 74. The motion was made after j the members of the House had' in dulged in the usual last night throw-| ing of paper and cat calls, but some | were on guard. Messrs. Aron, Philadelphia, andj Spangler, York, spoke against the [ motion, and Mr. Reynolds, Philadel- ) phia, favored the effort in a vigorous speech. Mr. Rininger, Blair, moved! to table the motion and a rolleall was forced, defeating the motion. Shortly after 11 o'clock another effort was made on motion of Mr, Swartz, Dauphin, to take the Lewis i motion to reconsider defeat of the transit bill from the table, but it was[ defeated too. The bill's backers kept at it, how ever, and the next effort to obtain reconsideration of the measure was sprung in a sensational manner at 2.10 a. m. .when Mr. Rininger. Blair,] moved, to take from the table thel motion to reconsider. Mr. McNlehol, j of Philadelphia, puphing his way through the members gathered in [ front of the Speaker's desk, declar ed: "Let the responsibility for kill-1 ing this bill rest where it belongs. A I million and a half people have asked | far this and if you arc going to yield j to force and persuasion and trickery and deny these people their rights, go ahead and do it. Let the respon-, slbility be where it belongs." The Speaker said he knew of no i trickery. Mr. Glass, Philadelphia, moved to: fix 10 a. m. for the consideration, but ! was ruled out of order and renewed j it in the form of a motion to post pone. The motion to postpone was lost j and the House then defeated a mo- j tion to take the Lewis motion to re- i consider from the table. The Speaker informed Mr. Mill-j iron, Armstrong, and Mr. Golden, Philadelphia, in answer to questions, I that a motion to take from the table j being twice defeated could not be renewed. This had the effect of pre venting further consideration of the bill. HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH LEGISLATURE IN ITS SHIRT SLEEVES ! Daylight Streaming Through 1 Chamber's Windows When Session Closes Shirt sleeves were the order of I the night in the closing working j session of the House of Representa ■ fives of the session of 1917 and the | members from Speaker Baldwin down sat about In their shirts try i ing to keep cool. The closing tta | sion was not as tumultuous as some i which havn taken place in the last | few years. The House showed a ; disposition to clear its calendar early and in rather decided manner I by dropping bills and everything j was cleared up before 2 o'clock in the morning. Then recess had to be taken and finally at 4.15 a. m. u. recess until 10 a. m. was taken. Daylight was streaming through the windows when the gavel fell. When not engaged in wrangling over the Philadelphia transit bill or killing Senate bills the members of the lower branch sang and threw ' paper. There was not as much Hilarity as in former sessions and a I couple of parades were held, but the | vaudeville features were lacking. The windup began late yesterday I afternoon when the House settled down to a long list of Senate bills i after passing the J5U.000.00U bond | issue constitutional amendment reso | lution. j The House passed the Baldwin j Senate bill to allow the Depart- I inent of Forestry to lease small tracts for farming at the late after ] noon session. Mr. Williams, Tioga, said there were 7.OUU acres which could be used for agriculture to bet ter advantage than for forestry. The bill to modify the women's | employment law so that hours shall not apply to hotels, state and chari j table institutions and boarding houses was dropped from the calen dar. The Evening Session The House passed the SnaJ.e bill | creating the offices of deputy state I treasurer and law clerk in the Treas j ury by a vote of 13U to 41. There | was no discussion either on this bill jor that reorganizing the depart i ment of the Secretary of the Com ! monwealth which was passed by I 126 to 32. Three important banking bills presented by Senator Sproul were i passed finally. One provided for a I codification of all state banking i laws. The others authorize state banks or trust companies to become mem bers of Federal Reserve banks and regulating reserves of such mem ■ bers. Another banking bill passed au thorizes selection of two more ac i tive depositories for state money. These Senate bills were passed | finally: Establishing a commission to ' study and revise the state insurance* ! laws. | Fixing salary of assistant director j of Legislative Reference Bureau. Making hunters' license revenue : available as soon as paid into the ! Treasury. Authorizing publication of legal ; advertisements in foreign language I newspapers. Providing for disposal of coal I mining leases by trustees on appro- I val of court. Compensating agents for sale of state stock stamps. Giving electric light, heat and power companies right of eminent domain. Providing for construction of pub- ; lie works by units. Authorizing construction of branch railroads. Establishing prison farms. Permitting addition of water to vinegar. Creating war garden commissions; in cities. Clearing the Decks The House started to clear the calendar by drastic methods about' 10.30 p. m. The bills dropped in cluded: The Buckman motor ve hicle license, providing for payment of consequential damages from tak ing or injury of property by munici palities for public works; providing for the change of venue in certain 1 cases; repealing the return of taxes on seated land act of 1913; regulat ing assessment of costs by magis trates, and the McConnell bounty bill. Toward midnight so many bills were dropped from the calendar that senators came over from the north wing to see how things were going and the space in front of the Speak er's desk was filled with legislators seeking recognition to discuss bills. The confusion became so great that! Speaker Baldwin ordered a recess and the members paraded through the hall with state flags. The Speak- | er led with the national flag. A mock session was then held with Mr. McNitfhol, Philadelphia, presiding. • I The House passed finally the Cat ! lin bill regulating admission of bor- I oughs to cities and the Hindman bill regulating insurance stock sales. New Day Begun i At midnight the House formally | ndjourned the Wednesday session i and at 12.05 began the Thursday ! session. Although members were in ' shirt sleeves and crowded about the j space in front of the Speaker's desk, | the proceedings incident to opening a new day were followed. The ! Speaker crflled the House to order, I prayer was offered and the journal I read. , The amendment to the fire mar- I shal law then came up and in the I midst of the discussion a recess was taken until 1 a. m. Immediately after recess the j House passed finally the bill reor ganizing the state fire marshal's force. There was an extended de bate. The House then dropped a dozen bills, including a constable's fee bill. Bills passed as of Thursday were: Enabling building and loan asso ciations to invest in national and state bonds. Providing for a commission to coilify lunacy laws. Forbidding distribution of dis criminating matter against any reli gious sect or nationality. Between 1 and 2 o'clock the House passed finally bills providing for employment of prisoners on roads; amending the soldiers' elec tion act of 1864 to meet war condi tions; the Crow constables' salary Allegheny county salary increase and McKee prison labor bills. An effort to reconsider the ilefeat of the Philadelphia branch Canitol bill was defeated. The Siggins township code was re ported from conference committee and passed without comment ' While waiting for conference re ports the House indulged in sing ing. The House took frequent recesses after 3 o'clock to await conference reports.
