8 NEWS OF THE SUPERVISORS TO i BE ABOLISHED Senator Frank A. Smith Pre sents Bill Relative to Harrisburg A bill to end the singular situation in Harrisburg because of the act of 3 860, creating two supervisors, was introduced in the Senate last evening] by Senator Frank A. Smith. Under: the provisions of the old law, there ] are legally two street supervisors, Charles E. Tress and George IV.! Kautz, who will bo disposed of if the 1 measure passes finally. It is said that with the coming of j the paved streets, the necessity for' the two officials has vanished, and! the introduction of the bill by Sena- | tor Smith is the sequence of a rcso-| lution passed by the city cominis- 1 sioners at a recent meeting, when it was decided to do away with pres-! ent positions. ! More than 25 measures were! passed finally on third reading, but the Daix Public Service bills were' postponed for the present at the re-j quest of their sponsor. Senator Eyre.

It is understood that the! bill is intended to enable Coatesville! to become a borough once again. !

I PARADE PLANS ARE OUTLINED Early Morning Meeting Held by the Committee in Charge The Joint Legislative Committeo lin charge of arrangements for at ' tending the parade of the Twcnty j Eighth Division, formerly the Penn sylvania National Guard, at Phila ! delphia on May 15, met early this I morning after the Senate and House i adjourned at midnight and completed iso far as possible, arrangements for ! the trip. | Adjutant General Deary, who at- I tended the meeting, said it was ex- J pected that from 15,1100 to 18,000 men would be in line and that the parade would start about noon, ac cording to present plans.

POLICE BILL IS THROUGH HOUSE Lower Branch Also Passes the Bill to Repeal Nonpartisan Third Class Law I The House of Representatives last j | night passed two bills which it had, | defeated within a fortnight, the vote < jin each case being emphatic and • latter a bitter debate. One of the! j bills, that reorganizing the State ] Police force, was reconsidered and I I passed with some votes to spare, i ; while the Willson bill repealing the' I nonpartisan elective feature was I ! passed after being reconsidered a week ago. The evening's proceed ings attracted much attention and j there was a large audience in the House during the debates, a number j of Senators being present. | The Powell bill reorganizing the I i State Police Department, creating |an additional troop to be located here and establishing two new j bureaus, was the first to be taken I up. It was brought up on a motion (to reconsider by Messrs. Willert and jShunk, Erie, and then debated for ian hour. The vote on passage ofi | the bill was 131 ayes to 62 noes.) | The bill, which was defeated two | | weeks ago, now goes to the Senate, j j The administration forces made a strong fight for the bill and many men who opposed it beforje voted for it. All Dauphin, Perry and Cumber land members voted for the bill. Mr. Whiteman, Westmoreland, made the first speech for the bill, declaring that the people of his county looked to the State Police to run down the murderers of a school teacher in a particular atro cious manner a few days ago. If the bill carried many millions of dol lars, he said, he felt he would vote for it. Mr. Dithrieh, Allegheny, said that labor was not against the bill, but only some agitators. The people of the State want more State police men, he said. The bill was opposed by Mr. Fowler, Lackawanna, who said that labor organizations resented being classed as Bolsheviks and have al ways been against radicals. There is no need for an increase of the Police, he declared, and opposed the taking away of the jobs of fire, fish and game wardens to put their du ties in the hands of the State Police. Mr. Fowler charged that "orders had been issued" to put through the bill. , Places for Veterans Mr. Walker, Philadelphia, said < the Police were needed and would provide places for veterans of for- 1 eign service, who would afford addi tional protection to people. Labor, , he said, is not against the State I Police, but only some of its leaders. John Thomas Davis, Indiana, in * whose county some attempts at dis turbances were made a few days ago, said that if it had not been for State policemen '-'being on the job," there would have been blood shed in Indi ana mining districts. The House, he said, should show that it stands for maintenance of law and order and safeguarding of homes. Mr. Ramsey, Delaware, said the Governor urged the increase of po lice just as a mayor would ask for more officers. If the increase in of ficers was needed only to run down automobiles thieves, it should bo granted, he declared, amid consid erable applause. After referring to the bomb outrage at Chester, Mr. Ramsey said that the State wanted more policemen and the Governor I has directly asked for them. Mr. Hess, Lancaster, said legisla- ! tors could appreciate the abnormal conditions when they saw the Capi- ; tol had only one door open and do- ; elarcd there was a State-wide de- i mand for the bill. Mr. Helt, Northumberland, said that possibly State officials misap prehended the conditions and that if labor was ever needed to put down a Bolshevik riot, it would be done effectively. He made the last speech on the bill. The Willson Bill The Willson bill repealing the non partisan elective feature of the Clark third-class city act, was passed by 110 ayes to 75 noes. Two weeks ago the bill was de feated by a decisive majority, but reconsidered last Monday, Allegheny county members led the fight for passage of the bill and crossed swords with members from Butler and Lawrence. The Dauphin and Cumberland members voted for the bill, which goes to the Senate. In opening the debate, Mr. Wal lace, Lawwrence, said so many bills were being called "administration measures" without the Governor knowing anything about them that it was becoming a joke. When ques tioned by Mr. Willson, the Lawrence member said the Governor had twice been quoted as saying he was not back of the bill and had told him he did not want the bill to reach his desk. Mr. Dithrieh, Allegheny, said that he thought the Governor could sjteak for himself and remarked that some people were coming here and form ing organizations for legislation, who seemed to be very busy. Mr. Woner, Butler, .said that the bills was "destructive legislation" and was laughed at, whereupon Mr. Wallace asked that he be given a respectful hearing. "The gentleman seems to be able to take care of himself," ruled the speaker. The Butler member said Senator Penrose had been quoted as favoring nonpartisan government and became involved in a controversy with Mr. Simpson. Allegheny, on party regu larity. The latter said the bill was not a step backward, but to "correct an error." • A motion for the previous question ended the debate. Lord Mayor of Belfast Declines to Meet With Ryan Belfast.

May 6.—Yanks' enterprise j I triumphed when the city of Birming- 1 l ham, planning to replace its street j car rails invited bids for material. An I American obtained the contract, nl- ! ! though two British firms asked for it. and protests have been so numerous [ that the municipal government issued | an official statement, j One of the British bidders, it was j explained, agreed to begin delivering J fifty tons a week in April, but would i not consent to a penalty clause for | non-delivery; the other promised 1,200 ] tons within twenty weeks. The firm 1 in the United States agreed to com- j plete delivery by the end of May and quoted a lower price than cither of the British manufacturers. The price and the fact that the authorities I were anxious to complete the work this year were the influencing fac- ; tors in favor of the American bidder. 1 Sending American steel rails to Birmingham Is like carrying coals to New Castle, with the possible excep tion that the purchase liv the eitv i corporation of street railway rails ! made in the United States was be- ! cause Birmingham thus got better | rails than if the British product had been used. I Councilman Lee. called upon in the city council to expluin the purchase, said rails recently supplied by British manufacturers had not been equal to ' the committee's standard, the life of i such rails being five years instead of the normal life of fifteen years. Alderman Bewlay declared this: statement reflected on the British steel trade industry; and another member recalled that rule of the j council forbade the placing of an or- i der with a foreign concern when the value was more than $5,000. The controversy ended when a ! resolution was adopted approving the purchase of American rails, but re- i minding the committee of the exist ence of the rule regarding foreign goods and ordering its enforcement i in the future.
