The lirst of two measures to pass, is the Harr'sburg hilt authorizing that the county commissioners to combine with the authorities of any third class c'ty in the erection of a joint hospital. l-'nder the provi sions of the hill, the proper authori ties are empowered to condemn and sell real estate located upon the chosen site of the prospective build ing. Authority to issue bonds to raise the necessary money, is also conferred upon the city and county. The second measure to go through relates to the building of county bridges, and permits the county com missioners to call in additional en gineers to inspect the plans for pro posed bridges, and to submit new plans for different type structures, which may be adopted if the move ment is considered wise. It was found necessary to amend Senator Smith's bill relative to third class city garbage collection and dis posal plants, for misspelling, but it will probably pass to-day. The measure permits third class cities to maintain city garbage collection sys tems, and a disposal plant.

NEWS OF THE LEGISLATURE "SPEED UP" NOW ORDER OF HOUSE Lower Branch "Will Push Its Work to Adjourn as Early as It Is Possible A "speed up" program for the House of Representatives was out lined at an early morning conference to-day of Speaker Robert S. Spung ler and the chairmen of the various committees and the play is to have the lower branch of the Legislature clear its calendar every week before it adjourns, even if it should require a session on Thursday mornings.

The first Tuesday evening session will be held to-night.

Leiby Sends Egg Bill to Storage "Why is an egg'.'" was a common question in the Senate last, evening, after Senator Scott Leiby, Perry, had "pulled" one of iiis now common "jokers," by having the Gans bill relative to the sale of bad eggs, re committed to the public library com mittee. The measure, sponsored by Mr. Gans, of Phila., makes it a misde meanor to intentionally sell bad eggs as the genuine fresh article, and provides penalties for violations of the act. Senator I.eiby, who says the bill is a bad one from the country people's standpoint, although the measure passed the House in which there are practically 80 "country" mem bers, by a 169-t vote, moved to have the bill recommitted to the Public Library committee, when the meas ure came up for a final vote in the upper House. Some time ago, Senator Leiby, amused the Senate with an amend ment. to a public highway bill, pro viding that all "bulls and cows on tlie public highways, shall carry lights after nightfall." Now every one is waiting to see what the Sena tors' next offering will be. House Hears About the Keystone Division Col.

The measure confers the power of eminent domain upon the city, in order to secure the necessary sites for the recreational features, and authorizes the issuance of bonds to meet the necessary expenses.

To the teachers with professional or norm al school diplomas, the State will pay the difference between the min imum wage rate, and $4 5, which the school district will provide. The Senate passed nearly two score hills on third reading, largely without comment, although two measures in particular called forth sporadic debate, the measures in question being the Plilidalephia dis trict attorney office bill, and tlie Pittsburgh mercantile appraiser's measure. Senator Leiby, Perry, was one of the three senators voting against the hill creating new positions in the Philadelphia district attorney's office. The other dissenting votes were from Philadelphia representatives. The Daix election bills went over in their order at the request of the spoil sir, Senator Augustus Daix, Jr., of Philadelphia.

No Agreement on Compensation Yet Tlie committee of employers and employes yesterday afternoon failed to reach any agreement on a com pensation bill and the chances are that they will not. The employers yesterday declared that times wero not suited for increases of rates or anything that would add to costs of production and make extra burdens. The' employes disagreed with this proposition. There was talk to-day that the labor people might put in a bill of their own which would increase rates.

Venango, presented a re solution calling for the appointment of a joint committee of six. to be composed of three senators and three members of the.
