Wilson College is celebrating its fif tieth anniversary to-day. By resolu tion adopted at Greencastle, April 15. 186S, it was decided to establish a Presbyterian Female College, a Committee being appointed to make report at the June meeting at Pun cannon. Recommendation was made from the first resolution, therefore. Wilson College sprung. The celebration opened on Satur day night with a lecture by Baroness Hurd, her subject being "My Year With the Fighters." Yesterday in the College chapel a union service of Presbyterian Churches of Chambers "burg was held, the sermon being preached by the Rev. James H. Snowden, P. P., professor of theol ogy in the Western Theoolgical Sem inary, Pittsburgh. This evening there is to be a dinner at which brief addresses will be made by represent atives of the church, the Community and Educational Institutions of the Cumberland Valley. Presbytetry Moderator There The presidency of the Rev. Pr. ■Elhelbert P. Warfield. who came to ■.to the college in 1915, after more "than twenty years" service at Lafay ette, has already brought an in- creased attendance to the college. The moderator of Carlisle Presby tery, the Rev. Dr. John 11. Johnston, 'of Duncannon, is here as the Pres bytery representative. There are many former students on hand for this eveningg's event. The early history of Wilson Col lege was largely shaped by Colonel Thomas B. Kennedy who also shaped the destiny of the Cumberland Val ley Railroad in both of which public services he was succeeded by his son, M. C. Kennedy, now a colonel, serv ing with the Railway Commission in France. Most conspicuous among the friends of the College to-day is the vice-president of its board. Justice John Stewart of the Supreme Court, who has played so great a part in Pennsylvania as a leader of independent-opinion. The president r>f the board, Dr. J. Ritchie Smith, long pastor of the Market Square 'htirch of Harrisburg and now a member of the faculty of Princeton Seminary not only represents the wider interest of the Synod of Penn sylvania in the College, but also through his connection with Balti more that tie to the Synod of Bal timore which has kept the college .inder the joint patronage of the two synods.

Y. MONDAY EVENING, BIG REFORMERS ATTACK SCOTT Assail the Philadelphia Con gressman in Statement; Beidleman Getting Busy State political circles were stirred up to-day by a sensational attack made in a letter sent broadcast over the state by men lonu active in re form and independent circles in Philadelphia against the candidacy for the Republican nomination for lieutenant governor of Congress man John R. K. Scott. The letter does not suggest any candidate for second place on the ticket, but does register great objection to the Phila delphia Congressman. The letter is signed by Francis B. Reeves. Arthur H. I>ea. George D. Porter. William R, Nicholson, John Walton, the Rev. Flovd W. Tomkins, the Rev. Daniel 1. McPermott. Wil liam I). Disston and George Burn ham Jr. It says in part: "Upon the eve of primary elec tions to nominate candidates for various state offices, the undersigned citizens of Philadelphia, Republicans in politics but identified with no factions, appeal to the voters of Pennsylvania to help avert such a stigma upon the honor of the state as is threatened in the candidacy of John R. K. Scott for lieStcnant gov. ernor. "We have no candidate to suggest for this or any other office in the state: we have no part in any strug gle for factional or selfish control in the Republican party. Our one concern in this juncture is that Pennsylvania, now giving so much of its manhood and resources to up hold the moral rights of humanity and the honor of the nation, shall not itself be dishonored in the sec ond office in the Commonwealth. "John R. K. Scott's nomination and election as lieutenant governor would stand as a bold challenge to the voters of Pennsylvania either to repudiate or 'vindicate' the methods cf the political machine of which he is one of the most conspicuous ex-1 emplars. "Common decency should have prevented the evil system in Phila- J delphia from flaunting itself before the voters of the state, and should have induced John R. K. Scott to withdraw as a candidate after he was entered by his political spon sors. Nothing now remains but to appeal to the manhood of the state to protect Pennsylvania's honor by repudiating Scott's candidacy at the loming primaries." The Supreme Court Vacancy The question whether candidates for supreme court to succeed the late Justice W. P. Potter, of Pittsburgh, j must be nominated at the May pri- i mary or whether they must file nominating petitions in advance of November election only under the provisions of the nonpartisan act of 1913 is to be submitted to the Attor ney General's Department for deci sion. The opinion was expressed to-day that as the vacancy occurred after the time for filing petitions for the May primary that aspirants must file petitions after the primary, such petitions to have the same force as a nomination and there being no limit as to number of men who may be candidates. It was also reported here to-day that Justice Mestrezat has been seri ously ill at his home. IMdlemao's Plans Senator E. E. Beidleaian. who filed petitions last week to run for lieutenant governor, left to-day for Philadelphia and Wednesday will make a tour of the anthracite re gion, visiting Scranton, Hazleton and Wilkes-Barre. He will then go to Allentown. The Senator is kept busy with requests for visits and speeches. O'Neil headquarters men are looking for the McKeesport man to be here to-morrow. He will make a visit to central counties Wednes day and spend the weekend in Phila delphia and vicinity. O'Xeil men declare that thev do not know whether Robins will be on state administration slate or Mitchell. They do not seem inclined to give way to the Aarons, Atherton and Burks candidacies. Philadelphia registration comes on Wednesday, as does Pittsbuigh and Stranton.

PENROSE URGES U. S. TO TAKE THE HIGHWAYS Senior Senator Supports Bill and Emphasizes Prompt Action Washington, April 15.—Senator ! Penrose is out in support of a bill ! introduced by Senator Smith, of I Maryland, authorising the Secretary !of War to declare certain highways J to l>e military roads during the war land appropriating $20,000,000 as a fund for their repair and mainten ance. Senator Penrose said: "I am particularly impressed with the importance, urgency and jusUce ot his bill. As I frequently have oc casion to take the trip over the Lin coln Highway from Washington, through Baltimore and Wilmington, to Philadelphia by automobile, I am in a degree familiar with every mile of the road and its past and present conditions. A .year ago this road was in excellent condition, and the trip could be made easily in less than five hours, which Is not much more than the time taken by the train when we consider that it includes transit from the residence in Washington to the residence in Philadelphia. "The state of Maryland has in the last few years made splendid de velopments in the way of improved highways, and had justly come to be looked upon as onp of the leader in; road improvement. Now, however. | condiUons are changed completely. Along the Lincoln Highwav from Washington to Philadelphia and on to New York an almost continuous line of enormous motor trucks and vans travel during the day and even through the night. Particularly from Philadelphia to New York a continu ous line of such trucks and vans is operated by private individuals en- j gaged in carrying freight, which can be transported In this manner more expeditiously than on the railroads. Moreover, the trucks and vans of the United States government, particu larly of the War Department, like wise travel over these roads in very great numbers and constitute the largest single element of this kind along the road. ltoads Destroyed in Spots "The consequence is that these splendid highways—which, by the expenditure of years of effort and large sums of money, had come to be nearly perfect—are badly deterior ated and in places completely de stroyed. The extraordinary use in the last six weeks of these heavy vehicles* particularly the army trucks and vans, has rendered the roads impas sable in many places. On several sec tions all traffic has been held up for days at a time on this account. The states of Maryland, Delaware, Penn sylvania and Xew Jersey, have spent millions of dollars in constructing these highways and developing them to their recent perfection, and it does not seem fair that the heavy motor vehicles of the War Department should be permitted to destroy them completely without any effort on the part of the United States government to co-operate in repairing the dam age. "Not only, therefore, does every principle of equity demand' that the government should by liberal appro priations aid in such repair, but it is clearly to the interests of the govern ment to have these roads repaired. In fact, it is essential. Unless the roads are repaired the transporta tion of military supplies by motor ve hicles must be seriously hampered. "Other sections of the country have been affected In like manner. It is essential to the military efficiency of the country to keep these roads in complete repair, and I shall do all I can to secure prompt and favorable action on the bill declaring certain highways to be military roads and providing an appropriation for their repair and hope to see it passed at an early date." Woodward Attacks Four Petitions Pour actions attacking the legal ity of nominating petitions filed in behalf of James Woodward. Ashland.

"He told me to tell you and his wife that his wounds were healing as well as could be expected and that he would be at the front soon again," said Dr. Mason. "Captain Roosevelt is injured probably a -reat deal more seriously than he knows, and I am afraid it will be some time before he gets into action again." • "Tell me how Archie was wound ed," was the next question asked of Dr. Mason.
