No Bar to Naming Women as
Special Officers, Governor
Is Informed Today
Laws of Pennsylvania do not pre
vent appointment of a woman a3 a
special officer by the Governor, ac
cording to an opinion just rendered
to Governor Brumbaugh by William
H. Keller, first deputy attorney gen
oral, in the application of the Penn
sylvania Railroad for appointment of
Mrs. Kate A. Campbell as a special
police officer. Mr. Keller says: "A
woman could serve in such a capacity
in connection with railroad work with
advantage to all interested parties."
and says also that it is the judgment
of the legal department that "her
duties should be directed especially to
work in and about stations, for the
protection of women and children
traveling."
Mr. Keller says further: "That such
an appointment has not previously
been asked for a woman and that none
has previously been granted does not
interfere with your right to make the
appointment if you deem the appli
cant a proper person and the purpose
of her appointment a desirable one."

CROWD ATTACKS
PATROLMAN WINN
Officer Narrowly Escapes In
jury When Trying to
Disperse Crowd
Patrolman John Winn narrowly
escaped serious injury this morning
when he made efforts to disperse a
crowd causing a disturbance at Main
and Francis streets at 12.30 o'clock.
The patrolman, approaching the
crowd of men, asked them to scatter
j and discontinue the singing and
j noisemaking. The patrolman had
no sooner given his orders until he
was attacked by Archie Hammaker.
When he made efforts to place
j this man under arrest, the twelve
t men in the crowd began a free-for
! all scrap with the patrolman, the
| chief said. His mace was wrenched
i from his hand and one of the row
j dies proceeded to use it on its owner.
I After some difficulty Patrolman
Winn succeeded in placing Archie
Hammacker and George Miller, an
other man of the crowd, under ar
rest. These men he took to the bor
ough lockup and returned to the
I West Side, where he found James
| Dailey in a street near the scene of
| the disturbance. He arrested Dailey
and took him to the lockup.
In the meantime a call was sent
into the police station for assistance.
Chief Grove and Patrolmen Burrel
and Bowermaster rushed to the
West Side, but were unable to locate
any of the offenders.
The three lawbreakers are being
held pending an investigation, the
chief said.
The need of a patrol, which Chief
Grove recommended to council list
year, was emphasized last night when
the men were compelled to get over
to the West Side the best way they
could. The consequence was that
the crowd had dispersed by t le time
the officers arrived and no more •. 1
the rowdies were arrested.

my TIRED FEET
ACHED FOR "1IZ"I
Let your sore, swollen, aching j
feet spread out in a bath
of "Tiz"
Just take your shoes oft and then
put those weary, shoe-crinkled, ach
ing, burning, corn-pestered, bunion
tcrtured feet of yours in a "Tiz"
bath. Your toes will wriggle with
joys they'll look up at you and al
most talk and then they'll take an
other dive in that "Tiz" bath.
When your feet feel like lumps of
lead —all tired out- -just try "Tiz."
It's grand—it's glorious. Your feet
will dance with joy; also you will
find all pain gone , from corns, cal
louses and bunions.'
There's nothing like "Tiz." It's
the only remedy that draws out all
the poisonous exudations which puff
up your feet and cause foot torture.
'Jet a 2 5-cent box of "Tiz" at any
drug or department store—don't
wait. Ah! how glad your feet get;
how comfortable your shoes feel.
I You can wear shoes a size smaller
I if you desire. —Adv.
