FOREIGNERS IN COMPLIANT MOOD Selling, Giving Away and Even Throwing Away Their Revolvers Unnaturallied for- V\.W jrTzy dents have been frXWA surrendering re ( volvers to local V jOlWaraSf-' authorities, selling and even giving l\ CttlHWiMftf many sections of t' l o state In the EMglMMiyisJfc last week or ten days because of naMknfBSMHMq the inauguration of enforcement of the act of 1917 •forbidding such persons to have re volvers in their possession. This act, which was'stated during legislative consideration to be for the purpose of checking shooting affrays which investigation had found to have been numerous among foreigners having revolvers, supplements thealien gun law of 1909. Thus far very few arrests have been made in enforcement of the law as the notices printed in three different languages were generally posted by wardens and policemen In districts where there are many aliens and the extension of the gun law to revolvers was easily understood. State Gam Commission officials re port very little trouble In enforcing the law in coal and industrial sect ions, but say that numerous sales of weapons and even of destruction of revolvers by owners have been heard of.

The Inebriate Law —Deputy At torney General Hargest to-day ren dered an opinion to Dr. H. W. Mitch ell, superintendent of the State In sane Hospital at Warren, that a com mitment from Dauphin' county of a person as an inebriate was "lm provldently made." The opinion was given in a case wherein a man ad dicted to drugs was committed by the court to the Warren State Hospital as an inebriate. The opinion says that the Warren istitution is not one for inebriates but for the insane and that ' the committment did not require se , rurity to Ue given to the trustees or payment for care arid treatment. It is further held that the act for com mittment of does not au thorize such committment at the expense of the county. Owing to the fact that the State Institution for In ebriates has not yet been built the question arose as to whether such persons could be committed as In ebriates to a state hospital.

Baptists May Buy Church It is said that the Central Baptist congregation is considering purchas ing the property. The edifice of this congregation In Main street was de stroyed by fire several months ago.

The congregation has been without a pastor for a year and services have not been held reg ularly. Church Built in 1890 The congregation when It was in Its best condition did not number more than 100.
