LEGISLATURE WANT NO MORE INVESTIGATIONS House Manhandles, Then Crumbles McNichol In quiry Resolution Members of the House demon strated late yesterday afternoon that 1 they wanted no more investigations into State government. The McNich ol resolution for an inquiry into busi ness methods was crumpled up after being manhandled by a number of legislators. When the resolution was read in the House Mr. Glass. Philadelphia, objected to the use of the word •'mis management" in the resolution. Mr. Showalter, Union, said he did not see any reason for the resolution as in his opinion the State government was run economically. Mr. Simpson, Allegheny, explained the resolution, and Mr. Cox, Phila delphia, asked a numner of questions of Mr. Simpson and raised the point that the resolution should be print ed, but withdrew it. He contended that the Economy and Efficiency Commission should do the work. Mr. Walter, Franklin, said the res olution was "an overnight" idea and that the State had no need to make another investigation. He said that its adoption would make the House ridiculous. Mr. Hess, Lancaster, raised the point of order that tne resolution] had to lie over under the rules. Mr. Whitaker, Chester, who was presiding, upheld the point. The effect of the ruling was to put over the resolution for a day and unless the rule is suspended the res olution cannot be taken up. DI PI.EX ENGINES SOI.VE A TRAFFIC PROBLEM By nlacing the running gear of a discarded light engine behind one of iheir standard locomotives, mounting the tender on the running gear, con necting the gear by a flexible steam coupling with the superheater of the engine, the mechanical department of the Southern Railway made what the 1 officials called a duplex engine, the tender serving as an auxiliary tractor. { This solved a troublesome problem of operation on a sixty-eight-mile line of single track, where the grades arei heavy and traffic often became con gested. The "tractors'' were fitted to seven locomotives, and have proved very satisfactory on short, steep grades. A pic ture of one of the du- . plex locomotives appears in Popular! Mechanics Magazine. HOUSEBOAT LIFE ENJOYED IN RIVER COLONIES Several colonies of houseboats along the Willamette river at Fortland. Ore., afford the occupant" an enjoyable mode of life during the summer sea son and some of the hoats are used as dwellings all the year round. They are moored side by side along the river bank, sometimes connected by boardwalks, and are within easy reach of the business center by car lines. Young women engaged in business of fices and stores, as well as young men, find the houseboat life most at- i tractive, healthful, and economical, and club together to meet the ex pense of purchasing a boat and keep ing house. A simply furnished house boat in an inexpensive colony may cost anywhere from Jino to SSOO, while in the more pretentious river colonies there are two-storied boats costing J1,500 and upward.—From the Popular Mechanics Magazine. SESSION ENDS IN EARLY MORN Both Houses Adjourn After Midnight; Long Session The session of the General Assem t bly for 1917, the longest since 1897, '| closed this morning. The Senate ad | .Journed at 12.57 o'clock, and the I House at 1.17 o'clock. | The two houses were to have ad- J journed yesterday at noon, but the ( I battle over the provisions in the gen ; eral appropriation bill prolonged the ! sittings and made political history . [ tor Pennsylvania. The bill was print ,' ed no less than four times and when i it came before the House early this M morning things had been so well ad ' justed that was no discussion 1 and not a dissenting word. The vote . | was 14<4 to 0. In the Senate concur j, rence was so rapid tnat the specta . I tors who had lingered hardly knew . what had happened. I The conference committee restored r, the $40,000 for farmers' institutes and gave the Department of Labor I and Industry and Public Service II Commission some items which had , been cut out. :| The conference committee also re i stored to the bill the provision that I the Governor's contingent fund ! * ' )e ex P£nded ai his discretion. ! This provision has Deen carried in similar bills for the last two sessions, i but the committee cut it out yester- I day. Last night Senator E. H. Vare, I of Philadelphia, served notice on the .'conferees that he would not stand j tor any humiliation of the Governor a nd insisted upon the restoration of j the provision. The conrerees reduced ' A^ ntinKCnt appropriation from $30,000 to $i4,000, because he has only eighteen months to serve. When Chairman hamsev, of the j House appropriations committee, announced the reinsertion of the , clause the members of the House ap- I plauded. Senator Vare had said that j unless the provision was put back his friends would not support the j bill. j No one about legislative halls re j calls anything like the controversies j which raged over this session's gen appropriation bill. The session of 1917 has had many/unusual fea tures and it was within a few hours of the time fixed three weeks ago | for final adjournment that a pro ! nounced difference of opinion broke I out among legislators over the re ! auctions made in departmental items. , Men connected with the Educational, i k a ??, r 2 nd Industry, Agricultural, Public Service and other depart i nients secured the attention of leg | islators and the conferees were be , sieged by Senators ana Members urg ing that the drastic policy be modi fied. The report of the conference com mittee was sent to the two houses ! shortly before noon but the pressure became so strong thai it was recall ed. The conference began to stretch out and the men stationed in the j House and Senate galleries to turn back the hands of the clocks had to perform that duty every half hour. Twelve o'clock was stalled off hour after hour and it was always between 10.30 and 11.45 o'clock in the morn ing. Late in the day the conferees sent In their report and Mr. Flynn, Elk, one of the members of the commit tee, explained that $300,000 for Phil adelphia suburban roads, and other provisions had been cut out. Chair man Ramsey, of the House appro priations committee, was taken to task about a provision that no state money should be paid to West Ches ter State Xormal School, while Dr. G. M. Phillips remained as principal or was connected with it. llr. Ram sey said this was done because poli tics had been Injected into the school and it was desired to remove the cause. Mr. Sones, Schuylkill, a grad uate, defended Dr. Phillips, and Messrs. Canon, Mercer, and Maurer Berks, attacked the handling of the bill,' while Mr. Milliron, Armstrong, declared it would set a bad prece dent. The controversy lasted almost an hour. It was intensely hot in the hall and the Speaker presided in shirt sleeves. Finally Mr. Stites, Mont gomery, seconded by Mr. Mitchell, Jefferson, moved to send the bill back to conferees with instructions, but the point was made that the bill could not be reprinted until the next day and Mr. Flynn said conferees could not be instructed. The House then allowed the report to tie with drawn but making another change refused to concur in Senate amend ments. The old conferees were nam ed again and shortly before 6 o'clock reported with the West Chester clause stricken out. Mr. Flynn"s statement that agriculture would be further cared for in contingent funds evoked much discussion and finally Mr. Maurer launched into an extend ed attack on the labor and industry cuts. I Speaker Baldwin warned the mem | hers that if they defeated the bill , it meant another day's sessions, to j which Mr. Milliron raised objection. I The bill was rejected. 89 to 50, need j ing 104 to pass. Soon after it was I reconsidered. A recess was taken to allow members to get together and I the heated feelings cropped out in many arguments. Mr. Maurer de ! bated the cuts with Senator McNich- I ol in the center of a ring of over fifty ! legislators and Chief Clerk Garvin, I taking exceptions to a remark by n member about rollcalls, threatened to strike him If the remark was re peated. Realizing the seriousness of the | situation legislative leaders began to | send for members wno had gone j home. A canvass of the Senate show ed thirty-three Senators still here | and about 150 T.egislators in the city !or nearby. A hurried cancftllntfon of parlor or sleeping car accommoda i tions and up of hotels to in , sure rooms for the night. A dele ! Ration of Pittsburgh members who had started home were sent te|p ! Krams to various cities along the ' road and urged to return, j After the recess for supper, dur- I which the clock went back almost I to 10, members began to arrive from nearhy counties, having left with the ; belief that the session was over. Fre j quent. recesses were taken whiie the conferees were at work, and the I mertibers formed a chorus and sang I about the session ending in "a tan ; gle." When the House was failed to gether to hear a statement by Chair man Ramsey a heavy thunderstorm was raging and his remarks were punctuated by peals or thunder. The palieries and side aiwten were crowd ed with people and the statement that the end was in sight was cheer ed. Senator Eyre, Chester, rose to a nuestion of personal privilege in the Senate late last night, and explained why the provision was placed in the appropriation bill that no money he appropriated to the West Cheater Normal School so. long as Principal George M. Phillips was connected with the school. He said that Dr. Phillips had knowledge of the al leged immorality of an employe of the school and had failed to use this knowledge to have the employe dis missed. Mr. Eyre said he agreed to have the provision stricken from I the bill in order not to endanger the ! measure's passage. He charged that! Secretary Becht, of the State Board ' of Education, had openly lobbied in ! the House to have the provision) stricken out of the bill. MILITARY CONTROL OF ROAIIS London.—To check joyriding and J the misuse of government cars, many ! of the main roads out of London have I been placed under military control. | Officers or soldiers in motorcars are challenged and have to furnish par- j ticulars and pruauce authority for j being away from their regiments. | Civilian motorists are challenged to | produce their petrol licenses.
