10 VARE AGAINST EXTRA SESSION tMiiladclphia Leader Says It Would Be Ridiculous to (lo to the Expense According to Philadelphia newspa pers of this morning', Senator Edwin 11. Vare, one of the biggest factors Ju the Republican party in Pennsyl vania and close friend and support in - of Governor Brumbaugh, Is *igalnst an extra session of the leg islature. He is quoted as calling it "ridiculous." Newspapers also say iAttorney General Brown is against the idea, but he is not quoted. The extra session suggestion was .first heard two weeks ago just be tfore Governor Brumbaugh went to 3'lorida. Then it was bandied about that the Governor had been sounding ••lit sentiments of such people as got to see him. The Governor, it was in timated, was interested in knowing •what the people thought of the idea of calling an extra session to re apportion the state. There has been no reapportionment since 1906 and t-everal Congressmen favorable to the Ftate administration and also facing lights would like to see it changed. Not only has Senator Vare mani f> sted disapproval of the plan, but other administration supporters have taken flings at it. Highway Cora- Hissioner O'Neil has refused to dis cuss it, but some of his friends are ugainst the plan. The Philadelphia Public Ledger ran li>wn the proposition last night aft er having failed to elicit any more TVJEURALGIA t| For quick results Sy} rub the Forehead /aCTk I and Temples with /T!l\ VKtfp LmlBody-Gvutfd tnTwrHB" \//r VIcR'SVZtPonuBS ' | "Food Will Win the War" -Don't Waste It- Likewise conserve gasoline and oil —own and drive a Model "R" Hup mobile—the War Time Miser—rightly named "The Comfort Car.'' i We invite any one interested for practical demonstration without in curring any obligation to purchase.

The Ledger fifty H : ''State Senator Vare, who has been Governor Brumbaugh'ti most power ful political unset In legislative and other matters, announced last night he was 'opposed to the limit' to the reported Intention of the Governor to call an extra session of tlie General Assembly. The Senator says he Is opposed to the idea of a special ses sion. widely ami authoritatively at tributed to the Governor, on the ground the reasons would not justify the expense, estimated at 1500,000. "It is known that Mr. Brown re gards the proposal as 111-advised. "When Senator Vare was asked for his view on the question of an ex tra session he replied: Wou can quote me to the limit against it. It would be ridiculous to go to all that expense simply for the purpose of reapportioning' the Congressional and legislative districts. The Idea Is a dream.' " _ "Congressman Vare, Senator Vare's brother, spent some time at Palm Beach wiUi the Governor." The Philadelphia Record says: "Dispatches from llarrisburg to the effect that Governor Brumbaugh was considering seriously the advisabil ity of calling a special session of the Legislature to reapportion the Con gressional districts in the state and pass the federal prohibition amend ment brought a denial yesterday from legislative and administration leaders who are close to the Gov ernor. Both State Senator Edwin 11. Vare and Attorney General Francis Shunk Brown arc opposed to the plan, which wo.uld involve the ex penditure of a half-million dollars or more of the state's money. The Gov ernor is still in Florida, where he is supposed to be conferring with Congressman William S. Vare on the gubernatorial situation in Pennsyl vania, Governor Brumbaugh is said to feel very friendly to the candi dacy of State Highway Commission er J. Penny O'Neil, and it is under stood that lie has made several in effectual efforts to commit tho Vares and their friends to the McKees port man's boom. While the \ ares have so far refrained from pledg ing themselves to either Commis sioner O'Neil or State Senator Wil liam C. Sproul, it is generally expect ed tht when the Vare ward leaders Slather in the near future to ex press the sentiments of their wards on the gubernatorial question they will be overwhelmingly in favor of Senator Sproul." RAILROAD RUMBLES HIGH PER CENT. IN EFFICIENCY Tests Made by Pennsy Offi cials Show Employes Fol low Rules Closely In a systematic series of tests, un known to employes of the Pennsyl vania Railroad, a percentage of 100 in efficiency was reached. These tests covered a period of several months, monthly figures being re corded. High percentages were reached on tho Middle and Phila delphia divisions. These tests were made in train operating, safety rules and signals Up to yesterday, when the tlnal per centage was estimated, a total of 29,- 3,18 were reported officials In an examlnaUon of the alertness of en gineers, conductors and track la borers. In monthly tests a clean score of 100 has been recorded on the Middle division several times. The tests included all kinds of trials, including obedience to block signals, lights, speed and attention to faulty pieces of roadbed, and to defecUve cars and rigging. In 200 cases, '"stop" or "slow down" sig nals were thrown agaißst trains un expectedly and observations made to ascertain whether engineers acted promptly in obeying the warnings. Trainmen and engineers have no way of knowing when these tests are being pulled oft, and for this reason the efliciency reached is all the more gratifying from an offi cial standpoint. On the Middle di vision bulletins are published every month, showing the results of tests, and also complimenting employes for reporting defective rails and cars and faulty roadbeds. Classification of Employes Now Under Consideration Washington, Feb. 20.—Deferred | classification for railroad employes is under consideration between the War I>epartment and the railroad administration, it became known to day. The War Department objects to giving: special consideration to rail way employes us a class, insisting that the case of each man should be considered Individually as to wheth er he is indispcnsible. The policy does not satisfy the railroad administration, which con tends that few railroad men are ac tually indispensible and that unless some uniform action is prescribed, local exemption boards may be in clined to refuse deferred classifica tion to thousands of necessary em ployes who have no dependents. Nearly 500,000 railroad men are within the draft age. But the ac tual number which would be affect ed by such a ruling is estimated at less than 200,000. George Washington Tea For Enola War Relief Unit A "George Washington tea" will be held by the Enola War Relief Unit, Dcpartrmernt No. 7, Friday aft ernoon from 4 to 8 o'clock.

Pa., Feb. 20. • The most pretentious effort ever made to or ganize the Pennsylvania Railroad shopmen here into their trade organi zations affiliated with the American Federation of Labor was started yes terday, when six organizers establish ed headquarters in this city. It is the purpose to organize the men into craft subdivisions of the mechanical section of the railroad division of the Federation, and machinists, boil ermakers, blacksmiths, sheet metal workers, electricians and carmen are affected. Railroad officials admit the organ izers have begun work, and say it is up to the men whether they desire to organize or not. It is intimated I that the company will not interfere with the work of the organizers. General Organizer James C. Sause stated that it was his purposed to or ganize the shopmen so that they could present their wage demands to the Federal Wage Adjustment Board and obtain better working conditions. A movement to organize the shopmen in 1911 resulted in a strike.

Stomach Dead Man Still Lives People who suffer from sour stom ach, fermentation of food, distress after eating and indigestion, and seek relief in large chunks of artificial di gestors, are killing their stomachs by inaction just as surely as the victim of morphine is deadening and injur ing beyond repair every nerve in Jiis body. What the stomach of every sufferer from indigestion needs is a good pre scription that will build up his stom ach. put strength, energy and elas ticity into it, and make it sturdy enouKh to digest a hearty meal with out artificial aid. The best prescription for indigestion ever written is sold by druggists everywhere and by H. C. Kennedy, and lis rigidly guaranteed to build up the | stomach and cure indigestion, or I money back. I This prescription is named Mi-o na, and is sold in small tablet form in large boxes, for only a few cents. Remember the name, Ml-o-na stomach I tablets. They never fail.—Advertlse- I ment. HAJtKI&tSUIUi TELEGRAPH FREIGHT MOVES MORE RAPIDLY Hang Up New Record on the Pennsy in Eighteen Days; More Cars The* Pennsylvania Railroad report ed yesterday a marked Improvement in shipments of soft coal and general freight as the result of the mild weather of the last two weeks. In the first eighteen days of Feb ruary 22,620 cars of bituminous coal passed Lewistown Junction, the most important point on the lines east of Pittsburgh. This compares, the rail road officials say. with 18,141 caj's in the corresponding period of January and 18,661 cars in December. In other branches of freight serv ice a decided improvement also has set in. Kmpty boxcars, westbound, on the lines east of Pittsburgh, have de creased from 6.652 on February S to 1,441 on February IS. Leaded cars eastbound in the same period decreas ed from 7.505 to 1,571. Car Movement The coalcar movement past Gal litzin. Pa., on the Pittsburgh Division, one of the observation points most frequently used, shows for the week ended February 18, an increase of more than SO per cent, as compared with the last week of January, dur ing which severe weather conditions prevailed. The eastbound bituminous move ment in the eighteen days of Febru arly is also noteworthy for the fact that for the first time since last sum mer it shows an increase compared with the corresponding period a year ago. The gain over the first eigh teen days of January 1917, was 1,055 cars, or nearly 5 per cent. Car Supply Improve* That a general improvement is near in the car supply at the bituminoT>. mines is indicated by the statement that in the ten days ended February 15 a total of 26,025 empty cars were loaded at bituminous mines tapped by the Pennsylvania. In the first ten days of January 24,067 cars were leaded. The gain was nearly 200 cars daily. In the period from February 12 to 16, inclusive, the latest for which re ports are obtainable, the daily load ing of bituminous has ranged from 2,700 to I!, 000 or more cars, compared with 2,400 cars the latter part of January.

HARRISBURGLED IN TRUCK SALES Rolarians Hoar About New Tractor That Is Replacing Horse on Many Farms That the Harrisburg district, led the whole world in the sale of motor trucks last year and that this year's orders are already in excess of the total deliveries of, trucks last year was the gratifying news members of the Harrisburg Rotary Club received last evening when the Rgtarians met at. the truck headquarters of the In ternational Harvester Company, in Walnut street. Charles J. Stevens, head of the truck department, who made the record for his company, said that the truck business is Just in its infancy, and that the power vehicle is fast dis placing the horse in almost every line of industrial activity. Herbert K. Curll, division manager for the International Company, ad dressed the Rotarians on the farm tractor and its uses, illustrating his remarks by reference to one 'of the machines which was on exhibition, •saying that in heavy soil it can plough six acres, a day and on light soil ten acres. Thousands of them are being put intp service, and for the benefit of farmers who are not familiar with motor machinery, a servicij depart ment has been organized and each International salesman is Instructed to help the owners of motor vehicles wherever information is desired. The Rotarians made arrangements to attend thg district conference in I*ancaster the coming month. After the meeeting light refreshments were served. CHURCHMEN TO WORK FOR DRY CANDIDATES [Continued front First Page.] Diocese of the Protestant Episcopal Church, presided- at the night meet ing and conducted devotional exer cises. Before Introducing the Ohio guest the resolutions adopted in the late afternoon were read by the Rev. Dr. Robert Bagnell, pastor of Grace Church, chairman of the commit tee. "The time'is at hand." spoke ex- Governor Willis, "when those in pub lic life as well as those in private life are called upon to take a defi nite position in relation to the pro hibition problem. As one of experi ence in politics, I can say that there is no reason why member of any political party should cower away from this thing. The whisky powers have been able to dictate to lis be cause many of the men in public life have been cowards; yet no man need expect any fair dealing front the liquor interests. They have no god—but Gain." Brewers Are Active Offering it as his opinion that the brewers had given the most to poli tics and describing their present agi tation at the prospect of prohibition being nation-wide, he discussed the drink evil and its relations with the war. "If liquor is bad for the boys in uniform," said he, "as the gov ernment has decreed, then it's bad for the boys not in uniform." Speak ing of the immense saving in grain he quoted statistics to show that* enough grain is used by brewers to make 6,000,000 loaves of bread ev ery day. And as for coal, enough is used by the liquor interests in a sin gle day to send an ocean liner across the Atlantic and back 750 times. In flaying the German Emperor he por trayed the German government as being designed to build up a great military state, while under our own form of government the church, school and all interests are working together to build a "great human soul." The committee which will man age the campaign includes Dr. J. B. Markward, chairman; J. W. El lenberger and H. B. Saussaman. These men will name twelve others shortly who will complete the or ganization for getting an over whelming dry vote from Dauphin county. The resolutions were framed by the following committee: The Rev. Dr. Robert Bagnell, pastor of Grace Methodist Church; the Rev. Harvey Ivlaer, pastor of Covenant Presby terian Church; the Rev. Dr. Henry W. A. Hanson, Messiah Lutheran Church; James Stranahan, former deputy attorney general; O. P.

Numerous speakers took the floor before the afternoon session closed. The support of the W. C. T. U. was pledged by Mrs. M. M. Steese, presi dent of the county unit. Dr. E. V. Claypool, superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League, urged the ministers t insist upon church mem bers turning out to vote. He gave statistics compiled in,.the State of Michigan which showed that twen ty-two per cent of the qualified vot ers of that state did not vote in 1914, and of that amount twenty per cent, were churchmen. He closed with the statement, "It is impossible to break the Penrose and Vare machines if men will not vote at the primar ies."

GERMAN DRIVE FORCES RUSSIAN PEACE [Continued from First Pas*'.] armistice given the seven days' no tice required in accordance with the treaty of December 15 for terminat ing it. Tho Council of People's Commis saries in the present circumstances regards itself as forced formally to declare its willingness to sign a peace upon the conditions which had been dictated by the delegations of the Quadruple Alliance at Brest- Litovsk. The Council of People's Commis saries further declares that a de tailed reply will be given without delay to the conditions of peace as proposed by the German govern ment. For the Council of People's Com missaries: LENINE TROTZKT. The Russian government, accord ing to another official statement re ceived here, has addressed this mes sage to headquarters and all the fronts: The Council of People's Commis saries has offered to the Germans to sign peace immediately. I order that in all cases where Germans are en countered massed that pourparlers with the German soldiers should be organized and the proposal to re frain frojn fighting made to them. If the Germans refuse, then you must offer to them every possible resist ance. KRYLENKO Russia Protests Closing of Manchurian Border London, Feb. 20. —The Russian Council of Commissaries, according to a dispatch from Petrograd, has instructed the , Bolsheviki represen tative in London to protest to Great Britain against closing the Man churian border and prohibiting ex port of foodstuffs into Russia. The Council, it is said, regards the foregoing restrictions as duo to Anglo-American pressure. Should Great Britain and Amer ica refuse to countermand the order, it is added, the Russian Council will p.pply restrictive measures against the citizens of Entente Allied coun tries resident in Russia. The protest against the closing of the border doubtless refers to ac tion taken by China after the dis orders at Harbin. China advised Russia on Febru-, ary 14, that she had not seized Har bin, as reported, but was merely carrying out her treaty obligations ty policing the Russian railway zone. FINN'S EXPKCJT ATTACK Ix>ndon, Feb. 20.'—According to a dispatch from Copenhagen to the Ex change Telegraph Company, it is rumored in Stockholm, the Germans intend to intervene at once in Fin land.

Hoover Falls Down Stairs While Using Crutches , <■ On his.way to court to continue Ills contest against the application of Harry E. Fetrow for a liquor li cense for the Fort Hunter Hotel. Clinton F. Hoover, owner of the property, fell down the stairs at the rear of the Russ building l'rom the second floor, suffering- a probable fracture at the base of the spine, a sprained wrist and other injuries. He was removd to the Keystone Hospital and will recover it was re ported this afternoon. Mr. Hoover had just seen his at torneys who are conducting the fight against Fetrow. Hoover himself is an applicant for a license for the same place. Witnesses to testify against Fetrow were heard yester day afternoon in court and it was planned to open the defense to-day. It was reported Fetrow intended to have witnesses called to prove charges against Hoover similar to the ones preferred against him. The contest in court yesterday afternoon was an unusual one, but the remain der of the testimony probably will not be taken for several weeks. At the time he fell Mr. Hoover was alone. He was recovering from an injury to his left leg and was walking on crutches when one of them caught on the second step t throwing him to the small landing half way doyn the stairs. Fetrow at the time was in the building on the second floor consulting his attorney when he heard Hoover fall. He rushed to Hoover's side and others in the building called the police ambulance. A large number of witnesses were called yesterday afternoon to sup port Hoover's remonstrance, and also the contest being waged by three other' residents of Susquehanna township. Among these were W. G. Zimmerman. Ijinglestown: Frank 'Hicks, Howard Selser, Mrs. Calvin Harner, John W. Reily, Mrs. Wil liam McKisick, U R. McKisick, con stable at Dauphin, and Samuel Hoov er. While Fetrow holds a license which permits him to sell liquor at the hotel until midnight February 28, it is not likely the contest now on will be decided before the 1917 license year ends with the result that the bar at the Fort Hunter Ho tel will have to be closed until the court decides whether a license will be granted for 1918 and if it is given ! who is entitled to receive it.
