Tumulty Will Not Be a Candidate For Jersey Governorship By Associated Press Jersey City, N. J., Feb. 22.—Jo ' soph P. Tumulty, secretary to Presi- I dent Wilson, will not be a candidate ' for the Democratic nomination for I Governor of New Jersey, he declared, in a letter, made public here to-day. Asserting that many friends had urged him to enter the race, the let ter said: "My present duty is to stay in Washington, where I may be of some little service to the great man whom I am trying modestly to serve. To go into the governorship light would mean a severance of my relations with him at a time when I believe I can be of some real service here." FLAGS CERTAIN FOR ROTUNDA Adjutant General Beary Gets Word From War De partment Flags carried by I \\\ National Guard of VVVVvIa rTOf Pennsylvania when returned from IM exl can border Iservlce and wltl. which they entered Ith1 th ' 1 (ecterai * ervice |H lent called the or janlied militia will be placed in 'he rotunda of the State Capitol within a ' year and. Adjutant the State would be able to secure for | display beside the flags of the Penn | sylvania regiments of the Civil and I Spanish wars the flags of the Key stone division during its service in France. Already some of the flags of units made up of men drafted j from Pennsylvania and which did not ] get overseas have been sent to the j adjutant general f<?r the State. | General Beary will be in Washing | ton early next week to discuss the I reorganization of the Nati.onal'Guard under which the Pennsylvania divi i sion is to be reconstituted as to char j acter and designation of organiza | tion and with a strength of 12,500 I men, and will take up the matter of j the flags with War Department ofTi j cials. j "I have every hope that we will) , be able to secure not only the flags j of the Pennsylvania units in this country, but of those who wore over seas in the Keystone and other divi sions,' said he. "They will make a splendid display beside the standards of the civil and Spanish wars in the Capitol." General Beary has been Informed j that it is improbable that any cap j tured German cannon will be allotted I to this state except by congressional action. Holiriya Today—The State Capitol j today observed Washington's birth j day, all offices being closed, but the I building was open for inspection* of ! soldiers passing through the city and [ visitors. ! No Efficiency Board Pennsyl vania's legislature will not be asked to authorize any Economy and Effi j ciency commission this session. The I work so well done by the expert in j charge of the studies under the acts j of 1913 and 1915 was so thorough : that all the information needed to | eliminate the waste, duplication and I delay is at hand or easily available. The report made last session in the original form without "editing" is regarded as one of the most complete of the kind made in any state. One of the reasons for the lack of neces sity of any such commission now is that Harry S. McDevitt, who had charge of the studies and who made I the report which still stands is now ! private secretary to the governor I and men placed at the heads of de | partments ar e experts in their lines .or will be eventually. In these clr- cumstances it would hardly be worth while to have another study made, especially as Governor William C. Kproul because of his long: experience in the legislature and knowledge of thei state government is aware of where changes can be made to the advantage of the business system of the Keystone state. lllgKcnt Calendar —The largest en'- endar prepared in months for the Public Service Commission was issued today for the series to be held next week. It contains over 100 cases and applications and the hearings will be held at Harrisburg. Pottsvllle, Johnstown and Pittsburgh. The cal endar for Pittsburgh contains over forty cases and the hearings will be held Wednesday and succeeding days of the week if needed. Monday will be devoted to arguments here and the following day the series of com plaints against the Valley Railways Company, will be heard. After the Borer— Six Inspectors of the State Department of Agricultuie are at work in southeastern Penn sylvania counties in efforts to pre vent appearance of the corn borer, an unusually destructive pest, which has been reported in adjoining states. Watching the Milk The two scientific men of the State adminis tration, Colonel Edward Martin, the commissioner of health, and Prof. Erederik Rasmussen, the secretary of agriculture, are endeavoring to devise a plan for inspection of the. milk supply of Pennsylvania in order to increase its efficiency and lessen expense and work. The way the matter now stands there is more or less duplication. The two officials are in accord on the main proposi tion. but they have not yet ironed out the details. The department of health has inspection powers to in sure health of the public, but it does not have the funds to go into it the way it might be don e and when Its inspectors get to work they a-o liable to run into inspectors of the ' other branch of the government. The state live stock sanitary board, part of the department of agriculture, has supervisory powers over all cattle to prevent disease and like the health department may enforce its regula tions on barns and buildings, sani tary conditions and general proposi tions. The State dairy and food com missioner, whose office is a bureau of the department of health, has the supervision of the milk supply as. to fat contents. Women Messengers —Whether wo men shall be permitted to act as messengers in Pennsylvania will be considered by the State Industrial meeting having been called for the purpose. This meeting will be sup plemental to that held in Philadel phia a short time ago when the view points of the telegraph companies and others interested wer e presented. The Department of Labor and In dustry has also arranged to hold examinations for applicants for li censes to operate moving picture ma chines in Pennsylvania in a dozen places on March 4. Under the law the State Industrial Board issues licenses except where persons may be licensed by authorized local boards. • British Miners to Attend Industrial Conference Conference, Feb. 22.—The Miners 1 Federation has decided to accept the invitation to attend the industrial conference which the government has called for February 27. It has decided also to communicate with Premier Lloyd George and inform him that the executive committee has not passed any resolution con cerning the proposed miners' strike o'n the lines recommended by him, but will leave it to the delegates to the miners' conference to arrive at KHmiSBTJRG TEIEGRSPE \ CHESTER TAYLOR AND COMPANY'S NEW QUARTERS AT SEVENTEENTH AND DERRY STS. : : The above picture shows the new quarters of Chester Taylor and Company at Seventeenth and Derry streets.
