I nonpartisan provision for third class
citv elections, was passed finally by
the Senate last evening, 33-12, and
j Harrisburg will go back to its old
! elections along party lines if the
Governor signs the bill.
There was no debate and little
\ concentrated opposition to the
measure, although Senator Barr,
I Allegheny, presented a paper against
I the bill from the Pittsburgh Cham
; ber of Commerce. The measure now
goes to the Governor for his sig
j nature.
It was found necessary to amend,
for tvpograpniral errors, the Powell
bill prov ding for an additional
troop of State police, but the meas
ure will be up to-day for final pas
sage. and favorable action is cer
| ta'n.
The Senate passed finally more
than a score of bills, including the
House measure reorganizing the Ad
jutant General's Department. A
House resolution which makes to
morrow a legal holiday, "Welcome
Home Day," was confirmed by the ]
Senate.
I Senator Smith, Dauphin, present

Bleached Flour
Bill Is Vetoed
The bill to authorize the use of
"bleaching" processes in manufac
ture of flour, etc., was vetoed by
Governor Sproul with the declara
tion: "In my opinion the pure food .
laws of this Commonwealth should 1
not be tampered with, and instead
of being weakened by amendment
they should be strengthened where
possible."
The Governor wrote: "Nothing is
more important to the people than
that they should have pure foods
and one of the assurances to them
that they will have is adequate laws
providing against food adulteration."
The Governor vetoed the bill rela
tive to payments of school funds to
districts wh.ose schoolhouses are de
stroyed by fire with the remark
that it changed discretion of the ;
State Superintendent to a mandate
and that he saw no reason for a
change.
The bill allowing boards of vis
itors to inspect jails outside of their
counties was vetoed with the com
ment that there is no reason for
spending money to send boards all
over the State and that "in these
days when economy ought to be
practiced such a measure goes in
the wrong direction."
Governor Sproul announced his
approval of the Dunn House bill
providing for refunding of liquor
licenses, fees and additional taxes to
persons and firms prevented from
business by War Department or
ders relative to vicinity of military
establishments.
The Governor also approved the
bill providing for the Auditor Gen
eral to appoint five mercantile ap
praisers at $5,00 salary in Alle
gheny county. He will also appoint
the clerks.

BUILDING CALLS
FOR BIG FUNDS
Reports Sh o w Hcav y
. Drains on Building
Associations
Washington, May 13.—1n making
a nation-wide survey, of building
conditions, the United States De
partment of Labor recently sent out
• questionnaires to several thousand
j building and loan associations.
| These questionnaires covered in
i quiries concerning assets, the aver
i age amount of loans made each
| year, applications for 1919, the pos
sibility of increasing demands for
I loans and opinions concerning the
| proposed system of Federal Home
I loan banks.
I Returns disclosed that more than
I forty per cent, of the building as
sociations have not sufficient avail
able funds to meet the desirable ap
plications for loans that are com
ing in as a result of the shortage
of houses and the general revival
of construction activities. While the
building associations of the country
are reported on a sound financial
, basis their present difficulties are
] due to the facts that they have
enormous investments and that the
long time mortgages representing
large amounts are not negotiable
at commercial banks.
The movement to establish Fed
eral Home Loan Banks is approved
by a majority of the associations
that returned answers to the ques
tionnaire. Out of 1,200 thus far re
ceived less than ten per cent of the
associations represented are opposed
to the plan. An answer that is
typical of the attitude of associa
tions that are financially independ
ent came from the west. "Our or
| ganization does not need a Federal
Home Loan Bank system at this
time." writes the secretary, "but
it will be helpful to those who do
and the time may come when we
shall be glad to take advantage of
It."
According to recent, estimates
made by the Division of Public
| Works and Construction Develop
| ment, of the Department's Informa
j tion and Education Service, there
are now in the United States 7,-
2fi9 building and loun associations
with paid-in capital stock amount
ing to $ 1,303.770,845, the invest
ment in building association stock
having increased last year $145,-
000,000. Available statistics show
I that the normal requirements of the
I building and loan associations be
! fore the war called for loanable
| funds amounting to approximately
$500,000,000 per annum, which
1 could be supplied by the savings de
partments of these organizations.
The solution of the problem of how
I to supplement the ordinary income
[ of the building and loan associa
tions in places where the demand
1 for small mortgage loans might be
greatly in excess of the supply of
money is now sought in the Fed
eral Home Loan Banks. In view of
flic shortage of houses estimated at
something like 1.000,000, the de
mands on the buildinV and loan as
sociations are likely to be heavier
than ever before. Increases in build
ing operations l'or April were so
marked that the business of the as
sociations in certain parts of the
country was reported to be of un
usual volume.
Millions Are Due Soldiers
Forced to Build Roads
Washington, May 13.—Northern
soldiers who were not permitted to
go to France, but were kept in the
South working as common laborers
in the construction of an elaborate
system of public highways for the
Southern States, are to receive sev
eral millions of dollars back pay for
their work as laborers. These mil
lions represent the difference be
tween S3O a month, a private's pay,
and $4.50 to $6 a day, the wages of
negro labor employed side by side
with the soldiers in highway con
struction in the South.
The back pay will be paid by the
Government, but it will be charged
up against the Southern States,
which thought they were to enjoy
having model highways built by
Northern soldiers and paid by the
War Department at a wage of S3O a
month. The amount due the North
ern soldiers will be deducted from
the Southern States' share of the
$200,000,000 provided for in the
postoffice appropriation bill for Fed
eral aid to States in highway con
struction.
One of the most notable examples
of road building to come to the at
tention of Congress was that con
necting the city of Washington with
Camp Humphrey, Va. This piece of
construction is almost a model of
road building and will form a large
I link in the highway system to con
nect the national capital with Rich
mond. It was constructed partly by
enlisted engineers and partly by
negro labor.
One of the principal units en
gaged in this piece of road building
was a company of Wisconsin engi
neers enlisted from Wisconsin Uni
versity. These men, according to
Senator LaFollette, worked twelve
and thirteen hours a day and re
ceived S3O a month, while negro
laborers working beside them, re
ceived 45 cents an hour. These sol
diers were kept at this work until
several months after the armistice
was signed and were only recently
mustered out.
Leaves Million to
Improve Philadelphia
Philadelphia, May 13.—Nearly
$1,000,000 is bequeathed in the will
of Thomas Skelton Harrison, for
mer American minister and consul
general to Egypt, for a trust fund
to be used in improving govern
mental conditions in Philadelphia.
Mr. Harrison died a week afeo.
The testament provides for a
board of seven men to apply part
of the income to the fund to pro
cure honest and impartial enforce
ment of all contracts made by the
city, for furnishing labor, erection
of buildings and other public im
provements, cleaning of streets, re
moval of garbage, furnishing water,
gas, electricity and transportation
facilities.
Attacked Bond Sales;
Held for Espionage

In having attempted to Interfere

notes, Jacob Itzickeon, a Russian,
was arraigned before a United
States Commissioner here yesterday
and held for Federal grnnd Jury ac
tion in $50,000 ball. Itzlekson's al
leged offense was the publication in

the benefit of "swindlers and profit
