8 DONALDSON IS COMMISSIONER Philadelphia Insurance Ex pert Approved by Senate; Popular At Capitol The Senate very promptly con . firmed the appointment of Thomas Lialine Donaldson, of Philadelphia, to be State Insurance Commissioner in succession to Commissioner Charles A. Ambler, of Montgomery, whose appointment was, withdrawn ■iome time ago, when it reached the upper house late yesterday after loon and the new Commissioner will arrange to take office at once, ft is believed that peputy Com nissioner Samuel XV. McCulloch and he bulk of the office force will be retained. Mr. Donaldson, who was* born in Philadelphia in 1576, has made a lotable success of State insurance vork. He was picked out by John i v. Tener as a special deputy and it s understood that his name was uggested to the Governor by men horoughly conversant with State af airs and who have watched Mr. Donaldson's career with interest. In a statement issued by the tovernor's private secretary last light the following appears: "In 1911 he was appointed a 'peeial Deputy Insurance Commis ioner. and he has been connected vith the Insurance Department ever ■ince, giving especial attention to • natters connected with the winding up of the affairs of insolvent com- JASINTHESTQMAGH IS DANGEROUS.

He has won the commendation of Insurance Com missioners Johnson, o'Xetl and Am bler by his efficient work. Recently he has been engaged in investigat ing the affairs of the Pittsburgh Life and Trust Company, and Com missioner Ambler gave him particu lar charge of this work, which is now completed and ready for clos ing out. It has been knowp that Governor Sproul was anxious to place an insurance expert in charge of the Insurance Department, in or der to bring about a high degree of efficiency there, the Governor being impressed with the necessity of thorough inspection and regulation in this department. Commissioner Ambler has been retained by Gov ernor Sproul until the completion of his work in closing out a num ber of matters which were under In vestigation." . Harry L. Knapp, of Philadelphia, appointed chairman of the Board of Censors, to succeed the late Frank R. Shattuck, was also confirmed. Mr. Knapp is the well-known dram atic critic of the Philadelphia In quirer and is "a personal appoint ment. He lias been in charge of the dramatic page of the Inquirer for, 1 twenty-seven years and has followed the moving picture industry from its beginning and is widely known as a critic.

Constitutional • Convention Bill The bill providing for the Govern or to name a commission of twenty ' five men to study the constitution and suggest changes to the legisla ture of 1921 which will pass upon the question of a convention ap peared yesterday in the Senate.

Senator Eyre, Chester, at the ses sion of the Senate late yesterday afternoon, presented a bill appro priating $250,000 for the encourage ment of agricultural shows; also a measure providing for the consoli dation of rural schools.

SUFFRAGE ROW ABOUTTO START Resolution to Amend Consti- . tution Will Be Signed For Grand Contest Signs are becoming as plentiful about the Capitol that there will be a breezy time over xtfoman suffrage, as they are that runtfl members are eager to finish up the work and go home and that the old Phila delphia struggle for control will soon demolish hopes of harmony the re mainder of the session. The suffragists and the antis have gone to the mat in the Pennsylvania Legislature and there are several weeks of interesting happenings ' about to start. When Representative William T. Ramsey announced yes terday that he would introduce a resolution to amend the Pennsyl vania State Constitution to permit women the ballot, the Antis, headed here by Miss Eliza D. Armstrong, of Pittsburgh and Mrs. O. D. Oll phant, of Trenton, N. J. represent ing the National Anti Suffrage Asso ciation, immediately got busy." Why try to force the ballot on us when we do not want the open ing gun of words that Miss Arm strong of one of Pittsburgh's first families, fired into the opposing i camp. Mr. Ramsey, experienced in legis lative halls and with respect for Miss Armstrong who yesterday celebrated her seventy-fourth birthday, made a non committal answer and excused himself to go to a committee hear ing, / "I have no fault to find with Will Ramsey," said Miss Armstrong, "and possibly he is acting at the behest of others, but I insist that women do not want the ballot and nothing coukl be fiurer than to let the women decide that question for themselves. But the others, meaning the suffra gists! would not agree to that. It is because they are afraid and do not dare to let the women of Penn sylvania say whether they want to vote or not." "That Is the rule everywhere," said Mrs. Oliphant. "I am at a loss to understand the words of these women who want to vote," said Miss Armstrong. "To save my life I can not find a senti ment among women for this mascu line privilege. They do not discuss the matter at all and what women do not discuss they are not interest ed in and what the women are in terested in they will talk about, be it other women, dresses, styles or anything that strikes their fancy at that moment. There is a never ending mystery about women that is their greatest charm, but in the voting respect there is no mystery. On this subject they are as open as the sky—they do not want it. To prove my point, I am willing that men or women ask the women with whom yiey come in contact and they : will soon see that women are not ! interested. And when a woman is | not interested —but why go into , j that again? | "Do you think there is as much I interest among women in suffrage ■as there was a few years ago?" Miss Armstrong was asked. I "I never thought there was much ! interest in the subject among wom en gene®Uly," answered Miss Arm j strong.. "Of course, among a cer tain t>;oe of women who can be rec ognized almost on sight there was a big interest in getting the ballot. Those faddists were for it strong, ; but the cradle-rocking and bread i baking type, speaking generally by | that, were not for it. The mother j ly type, whose sole thought was in ! her husband children and home, i had no time for such didos. Of I course, the strong-minded, or weak j minded kind, according to the per sonal viewpoint, Who burned our I President in. effigy, who have served rprison terms and have no haven ex , cept among themselves and little welcome elsewhere, are using the ! suffrage vehicle for their publicity \ exploitations, but the only thing I I have heard about their goings on ■ lately was from a man who said the i minute the newspapers stopped printing their disgraceful affa' -s, | that minute they would stop tlie..i. Personally, I think, tome few of t!ose women have good sense and the others are splendidly mannish, and I always picture them mentally as who must have mus | cular arms and square Jaws." ! "I think the entire matter a farce," said Mrs. Oliphant. "My point is that the women do ■.ot want The ballot," concluded Miss Armstrong. "They do not want to be bothered. We will not discuss mental qualifications property and all the text-book arguments of the big, strong suffrage women. It all resolves itself into a women's ques tion and answer proposition, pure and simple. Tou might ask why the women do not want it and I could give many reasons, but ask any woman, and. everything else be ing equal, she would say, 'Because.' Back of that line, the 'becauae' line, there 13 no retreat." The suffrage side of the question will likely be here, in the form of a working committee next week, and then their answer to Miss Arm strong's homespun argument will be worth hearing. Miss Armstrong Is | willing to argue the question and wants a public hearing on the pro posed Ramsay resolution. Governor Sends in His First Veto Governor Sproul last evening an nounced his first veto. He sent It to the Senate just before It adjourned. The message and comments are In teresting. They are: "I herewith return, without my approval. Senate Bill No. lfl, en titled, 'An act authorizing Katheryn A. Seth, widow of James V.

The House also passed the bill permit ting building and loan associations to invest surplus funds in United States bonds and validating such invest ments. Other bills passed were: Author izing courts to appoint interpreters and to fix sainries and providing that in Philadelphia the salaries shall be between $2,000 and $3,000 and extending "bank slander." act of 1909 to insurance companies. The House debated for almost an hour before defeating the bill to make husband or wife a competent witness as to an offense prior to marriage. An effort was made to send it to' the military committee to which Mr. Dithrich, Allegheny, ob jected, and the bill was then seri ously discussed by Messrs. Walker, Philadelphia; Simpson, Allegheny, and Phillips, Clearfield, the sponser. Mr. Wrflker charged that the bill was to cover a rare case and Mr. Phillips retorted that judges and dis trict attorneys favored it Two amendments to borough and township codes were presented by Mr. Kooser, both providing that bal ances shall form surcharges after auditing and regulating proeeedure for collection.

GAME AND FISH HOLD ATTENTION Joillt License Idea Gets Hard Bump in the Con ference Representatives of several fish and game associations from all parts of the State discussed game and fish btlla at a joint conference of the Senate and House Committees in charge of such measures and it was decided that all changes in the bounty law should be incorporated In one bill and that the bounties on wild cats and weasels should be increased. The measure provid ing for the State Game Commission to accept gifts or buy land for game preserves was hotly debated. Later on a sub committee henrd argu ments on the fishermen's license law. At the first hearlngeE. L. Henlino. Bradford; E. W. Kelley, Dul'ois, and F. A. Godcharles, Milton, represent ing the State Sportsmen's Associa tion; Dr. C. T. FMlton, Philadelphia, State Fish and Game Society; James E. Sanson), Pittsburgh, and others of the Wild Life League; David Pritch ard, Scranton, United Sportsmen; Joseph Washington, Cresson, Key stone Hunters' Association; and members of the State Game and Fisheries Commission and legisla tors. spoke. One of tho objections of S. H. Garland, Harrisburg was that the hunters' license provided too*much money and that the State could not spend it, resulting in as surance by Dr. Joseph Kalbfus, sec retary of the State Game Commis sion, that the commission wanted to spend money for preserves and other objects which it could not now do under the law. The sub committee will recom mend the fishermen's license law which calls for a one dollar license. Representative Richard Powell, Lu- zernc, tho sponsor, said that the Fisheries Department needed $300,- 000 to complete hatcheries and _much more for stocking streams for which tho proceeds of the license would be used. Mr. Pritchard urged a combination license of one dollar which was not agreed to by any of the other speakers. The bill forbidding horse races at county fairs was returned to the House by the committee with a negative recommendation. The committee ulso negatived the bill requiring owners of dogs to pay for damages done by the animals and for special reports by assessors on §rops, etc. The milk standard bill with be recalled from tho House for . amendment. I The Bolnrd bill providing that legal advertisements and official no ' ticcs shall be published only in I newspapers printed in the English i language was ordered affirmatively reported by the House Judiciary Local Committee after an extended discussion. The vote was 10 to 3. The bill was opposed on tho ground that it eliminated requirement for advertising in Italian,, Yiddish and other newspapers. The principal argument at the hearing Of the House educational committee on the Sterling bill to provide for an elective school board in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh was that appointments had been in the hands of the judges for years and that the same men had been re appointed year after year, resulting in a continuity of directors. Com plaint was also made that the Board was not energetic enough. Tho com mittee will have a hearing for the Pittsburgh people on the bill next Tuesday. The speakers today were Mrs. S. Jardcn, Mrs. Joseph P. Mumford, Bruce M. Watson. Penn sylvania Education and Child Labor Association, and Fred J. Gruenberg, Bureau of Municipal Research. A.
