Daix, Jr., for the purpose of ironing out the differences of opin ion which now exist on the Pnila delphia charter hills. Such a sug gestion has been made by Senator Daix, who will have the honor of! steering the charter billj in ilte Sen- j ate. Senator Daix remained here; until late yesterday in the hopes cf conferring with Governor Sproul on proposed conference.

Barribburg SdSMW- TELEGRAPH ' 5 MARCH 6 1919"^ rose to change his plans. The sen ior Senator has been expected to pay the Legislature a visit, similar . to the one he made two years ago. 1 | His proposed visit here may have ) something to do with the charter ' measures. j General opposition to the charter ' measures as they now stand has de ! veloped among the members of the Philadelphia delegation, irrespective of factions. Among the legislators from other sections of the State ! there is a feeling of apathy toward ; the bills. Governor Sproul pledged the charter revisionists at the char-! ter revision conference dinner in ] 'Philadelphia to use his influence in j behali of the charter measures. The; Governor because of his vast busi-; ; ness interests and his social con-| ! nections in Philadelphia is much in- ■ ! terested in charter reform. But {whek he pledged nis influence .11 I behalf of a new chai ter ho specified | j certain things, one of which was; that charter revisions should be! carried out along practical lines. Nonpartisan Bill Representative Hugh A. Dawson,! of Scranton, announced today that! 1 he intends to get his bill repealing! the nonpartisan election law out of' committee next week and is quite! j hopeful of its passage.

Mr. Dawson said he had intended to ask for an af firmative report of the bill this week, but had not done so because of the absence of the chairman of the House Elections committee. When informed that Speaker R. S. Spang | ler had not sent his bill to the Elec tions committee, but had committed it to Municipal Corporations of which William F. Stadtlander, of Pittsburgh, is Chairman, the Scran ton member expressed surprise. Senator M. G. Leslie, of Pitts burgh, is interested in the passage of this repealer and Mr. Stadtlander is one of his lieutenants. As Mr. Leslie is much given to looking af ter details, there is no doubt' that he would prefer to have the legisl tion in the custody of Chairman Stadtlander. The deia." 11l tepoct ing the bill has been tor the pur pose of giving the opponents of the legislation an opportunity to ask for a hearing. As the Pittsburgh or ganizations and individuals opposed to the striking down of the non- j partisan law have failed to get busy. I the friends of the bill will claim, that there is no real opposition to it' and proceed to pass the measure. 1 The argument will be used with the: Governor that no hearings were' asked for which is indicative at least 1 of a lack of interest on the part of | Pittsburgh. Widows of Men Killed at Trades, to Be Restricted Pittsburgh. March 6. Toung widows of men killed in industrial pursuits will not receive compensa tion in a lump sum if it appears that they are likely to remarry, said Chairman Harry S. Mackey, of the Pennsylvania Workmen's Compensa tion Board, at a meeting here. The chairman pointed out that weekly payments to such widows stop when they remarry. Of the 150 cases before the board hefe, the chairman estimated that 100 are cases in which it is asked that compensation be made in lump sums instead of weekly payments. LEGISLATURE NEWS LEGISLATORS TALK ROAD WORK Highway Commissioner Says Primary Roads Will Not Be Changed Now Highway Commissioner Sadler as sured a legislative delegation that the State Highway Department will co-operate with the authorities of Mifflin county insofar as possible in the construction of lateral roads. He promised early improvement of the section of road between JifcVey town and Lewistown, but declared it is not feasible' to include the Mt. Union-McYey town-Lcwist own road on the State's primary system. As a result, the William Penn Highway, routing through Mifflin county, will be from Lewistown through Burn ham, Belleville and Allensvllle to Huntingdon, Members of this delegation told ■ Commissioner Sadler that for the I purpose of improving: the Lewistown i McVeytown road, owners of quarries near that thoroughfare will grivc the ' department all the limestone needed J John Shaver, of Mt Union, one of j the delegation, told the commission- ' er that he is a candidate for com- : missioner in Mifflin county and will ' run on a good-roads-for-Mifflin j basis. In this partv were Repre- 1 sentatives C. G. Corbin. of Mifflin, and 1/. R. Crum, of Huntingdon: i Tom S, Johnson, Robert Montgom- i cry. Dr. Hcndron. Meredith Meyers, f George McCoy, Dr. Hutchinson and Martin Kochenderfer. all of T/ewis- i town: and the Rev. M. R. Keim, of i Newton Hamilton. Mr. Sadler in conversation with a i delegation from Juniata County said j that there was once an idea that j it was impossible to build a perma- | nent road. "The permanent road • idea is not a laughable one any- ' more" said Commissioner Sadler. ' "The Highway Department of Penn- j sylvania proposes to put down j foundations which, with reasonable, care, will answer for all the time." i The delegation ashed the Commis- ■ sibner whether it would not be pos- j sible to consider route 19.4, from j Mifflintown to Selinsgrove as a por- I tion of the State's primary system, j instead of route 28, from Lewistown J to Selinsgrove. The Commissioner Informed them that this was impos- J sible under the present program. A delegation from Fulton County, 1 headed by Senator Miller, of Somer- j set county, saw the Commissioner relative to the MeConnellsburg-Mt. j Union road, consisting of portions | of routes 192, 193 and 121. They' suggested this route as a better con- | netting link between , the William | Penr. and Lincoln Highway than the { route between McConnellsburg and i Mifflintown. Krie and Westmoreland counties 1 came to the front with substantial i offers to supplement the State's i highway construction program with I millions of dollars worth of road j improvement, the Erie countians j alone informing the Commissioner that their county had $1,300,000 ap proved for building. The Erie pro- I gram was one of the most extensive from any county, covering thirty- . one and a half miles. The West- | moreland people said they would cooperate with Allegheny in im provement of the William Penn j highway from Monroeville to Pitts-| j burgh. The Erie people included Mayor j M. B. Kitts. William C. Kraemer, j and Joseph P. Rogan, who stated ( that the county would build and would like state aid. Mr. Sadler explained the situation in regard I to roads contracted for which he J said would be built and that the con- j struction to give a good across the ' county road connecting Ohio and i New York was down for early work. ! Somerset county roads were dis- | cussed by Ex-Highway Commission er Frank B. Black; Senator John S. i Miller, John X,ochrie and W. T. | Geddes who were interested in j the Windber-Johnstown road. The latter two also asked for improve- I ment of the road between Geistown | and Scalp Bevel which is not in the primary system. D. E. Morgan, pres ident of the Tjackawanna Motor Club and Joseph Jermvn, of Scran ton. went over plans for the Eacka wanna Trail and Representative W. M. Benninger and a number of Ea fayette college professors and other ; Easton men suggested that the de- I partment's second and third year i program be changed. They approv- j ed the general program with the ex- ; ceptlon of moving up the construe- ! tion on the road to Philadelphia. Sold Champagne at $l5 a Bottle at the Franco-American Club Paris. March G.—Much comment has been aroused by the raid made j on the Franco-American Parlhenon j Club by Inspector Tanguy, of thej Paris police. The inspector says | that he suspected that various j games of chance were in operation | there and declares he discovered j that champagne was being sold for; $l5 a bottle and that orangeade cost' one franc a glass. The evidence, ' the inspector added, was sufficient 1 to warrant the closing of the club. Thirty men. including several Am-j erican officers, and ten women were ' in the club when the Inspector and . his me walked io on Monday night. Baroness Brault. who presided j over the destinies of the club, says' that it was merely a literary and ! artistic organization, he is indignant! over various reports in circulation • and declares that the only purpose of the club was to entertain American officers. Wage of 50 Cents an Hour Too Low at Reading, Board Finds New York, March 6.—The Na- j tional War Eabor Board in execu- ; tive session here handed down deci sions in several labor disputes in different parts of the country.

It is the most dangerous vegetable disease known and until its appearance in Freeland the United States was entirely free of it even in the slightest degree. In fact, the United States was known throughout the world as one of the great potato-growing countries that never suffered from this wart disease —a disease that frequently reduced European countries to u famlned potato condition. A strict quarantine has been in stituted in lower Luzerne, Schuyl kill and Carbon counties and in the affected area no person is permitted to grow potatoes. The state gov ernment is co-operaling with the United States government in fight ing the disease, the principal treat ment used being the steam sterili zation system.
