16 LEGISLATURE NEWS APPROPRIATION WANTS ARE HUGE Almost $125,000,000 Asked of House With Revenue Less Than $90,000,000 Now 1 Appropriation bills listed by the j House appropriations committee ■ have reached the stupendous total lof $>124,423,315.01. This breaks all records for requests and the figures have been double checked to make sure that they are- correct. Estimates of the revenue avail i able for appropriation range any where from $86,000,000 to $90,000.- 00 and Governor William C. Sproul has given $90,000,000 as the outside figure, this being contingent upon the Auditor General being able to demonstrate that he can raise that amount of money. The alternative will be a tax of two mills on the dollar of manufacturing capital. Members of the Legislature in i charge of appropriations are plan ning to see Governor Sproul as soon as possible so that they can start reducing the biUs and in order to make reports for which members of both Houses are commencing to clamor. Chairman William J. Mc- Caig. of the House appropriations committee, has sent out notices to heads of a number of departments of the State government to meet him this week to show where their re quests in the general aPP™Pation bill can be reduced. This bUI is now over $42,000,000 and at least 53,000,000 must be cut from it. in other reductions will be J made charitable, educational and similar bills and the colleges recebdng State grants will not get more than they received in 1917. Pronounced opposition to tne levying of a manufacturing capital tax is expected to be manifested this week and Auditor General Charles A. Snyder will ask that he be given the authority asked in his series of bills in order to raise the re^ e "" e | without recourse to the much dis cussed tax. Employers who are op posing the increased percentages for . compensation are interested in the capital stock tax and wIU appear against it. The compensation rate amendment bill will likely remain in committee until some actuarial esti mates are completed for information of the members. i This data was promised by tne committee of employers who appear- j ed here last Tuesday in opposition | to the administration bill as a sup port for their contention that the j proper way to amend the bill was in fixing new bases instead of alter ing the percentages. The admtnis- . tration is having similar informa-< tion assembled to back up its bill. The self insurers tax will be op posed in the House committee on ways and means and the rehabilita- i tion bill, another of the compensa-; tion series, will be virtually rewrit ten. Some men who have studied this measure say that it would prove a huge financial burden in a few vears and that that the State would have an annual expense of millions to care for injured men. Redistrib ution of the burden and provision that it would affect only Pennsyl vanians or men hurt in Pennsylvania industries are suggested. The bill reorganizing the Compensation Bu reau is to go through as reported from the Senates committee with sal aries reduced and an actuary pro vided for. Authority of the Com missioner of Labor and Industry will not be abridged. Some amendments to the Cox bill regulating sales of second hand mo tor vehicle and requiring reports on cars left for repairs to be made by garages are rumored, opposition to the detailed information asked having cropped up on the ground that it would be burdensome. Changes to the Dithrich automobile regulation bill are also possible. Friends of military training will call for action this week. The Daix bill is on the Senate postponed cal endar and it will be determined in what form the proposition is to go through. The way it stands now, it is optional with districts and as the bill does not carry enough money to meet the expense of instructors, but only for administration and launch ing the system local districts have been protesting. Prospects of a larger grant by the State are un favorable because of the appropria tion situation. 78th Division Men In Philadelphia Port Philadelphia, May 26.—The trans port Montpelier, bringing home from France the 312 th infantry, made up chiefly of men from New .

MUSICAL Merchandise of all kinds at J. Yohn Bros. £3 N. 4th St. MONDAY EVENING, SUFFRAGE WILL BE UP TONIGHT Senators Will Pass Amend ment Resolution; Ratificr Coming Along Soon People about the State Capitol are speculating upon the possibility of Pennsylvania being among the States having an early chance to ratify a woman suffrage amendment. Most of the Legislatures have ad journed and as the Keystone State General Assembly is generally be lieved to have a month more in pros pect some people here are of the opinion that Congress may act upon the amendment before the gavels fall In the State house on the session of 1919. The suffrage amendment is now in the United States Senate, having passed the House. Predic tions are made that if the amend ment measure conies hero from Washington it will pass the Legis lature. The resolution proposing the wo man suffrage amendment to the Con stitution of Pennsylvania, which passed the House on April 22 by 128 to 66, is the special order for the Senate at ten o'clock to-night and the suffragists claim that it will pass. It must pass the next Legislature before it can be submitted to the electors of Pennsylvania, who re jected it four years ago. The fact that some of the national Republican leaders are favorable to suffrage and the desire to keep it out of the primaries next year may have the effect of hastening favor able action in the State Legislature. Just 101 members of the House who voted for prohibition amendment ratification voted for the suffrage resolution. Some suffragists claim as high as 35 votes. Twenty-siS are needed. Both branches of the Legislature will meet at 9 o'clock, each with ex tensive calendars. It is the plan to hold sessions on Tuesdav and Wed nesday. but there will be few hear ings.

Ninety millions of dol lars figures largely in the discussions as the limit. During the week a convention of i men interested in revision of the I Constitution will be held here and committees will visit the Legisla ture. The Senate bill providing for a commission to be named by the Governor to study revision of the Constitution is on the third reading calendar in the House and will be disposed of during the week.

Borah Again Pleads For Peace League To Be Party Issue Washington. May 26. —A plea that the Republican party accept the question of a peace league as a party issue and oppose as a unit the league covenant was reiterated by Senator Borah, Republican of Idaho, in a letter he made public here. The communication, addressed to D. E. Dunne, Wichita, Kans., commending the Sedgwick Republican Club for resolutions de nouncing the league covenant, was similar in content to the letter re cently sent by the Idaho Senator to the Boston Transcript. B£RiQßdDita^fi^TEQxnrQ>s American Jews 1 Day of Mourning To the Editor of the Telegraph: It has been decided by the spiri tual and temporal leaders of Ameri can Jewry that a day of mourning, fasting and praying be set and ob served by all Jewish communities of this country, as a protest against the wholesale massacres of and pograms on their six million brethren at the hands of the newly liberated poles. The coming Thursday, May 29, our Christian friends may be surprised to see Jews closing their stores and shops for a few hours to repair to the synagogues. Well, it will bo the day of mourning observed by the Harrisburg Jewish community. On all the Jewrish faces will be read a sorrow as deep as the sea and a pain as silent as the night. The real protest, however, is com ing from the victims themselves, from the outraged and then killed widows of fallen soldiers, from the torn from the torn babies,- from the wild shrieks of despair of the moth ers which are only silenced by the death blow of the club wielded by the murderer from the wrecked homes, from the desecrated syna gogues, from the defiled holy scrolls, from the ruined cemeteries, from the blood of the son which is made to mingle with the blood of the aged father, etc., etc. Many people have asked the meaning of the word "pogram." In vain will the Americans look for it in their dictionaries. It is a strictly Russian product, adopted now by the reborn Poland, and evidently coun tenanced by the majority of the "Peace Conference." We Americans have heard of lynching. Well, a pogram Is a wholesale and incom parably more brutalized form of lynching. But there is another im portant distinction between lynch ing and pograms. Lynching is detestable, horrible, and barbarous enough. But the victim that is be ing lynched is more or less guilty of a crime, while the victims of the pograms are absolutely innocent. |An important distination, is it not be tween these two. And there is yet another difference between these two. The satanic work of lynch ing is being done by the blind ignorant irresponsible mob, while pograms are being carried on by the people higher up. You will ask "why do they do that?" Just for a pastime. Some newspapers expressed them selves that Poland declared war against six million Jews. We scout such a war against non-combatants. We scorn a war with cowards who attack defenseless women and chil dren, who first disarm our self-pro tecting young men under peaceful pretenses and then kill them from behind their backs. Shame on those who call such cowardice war. If Poland wants honorable warfare, we accept the challenge. In fact, we will throw down the gauntlet first. 1-et the Allied nations for whom our sons bled so freely, let the nations who cajoled Americans, who coaxed our Jewish lads into a war for Democ racy, and then betrayed their wives, fathers, mothers and sisters into tho hands of brutes, allow us to equip a transport to go together with our nearly three million Jewish soldiers who fought under the flag of the Al lies to fight against the barbarous Poles even as valiantly as we fought against, well, shall I say, the less barbarous Germans. No one can make a better soldier than the Jew. For what are the qualifications of a good soldier? Morale, self-denial, fatitude and endurance. History will show as to which Nation has shown the most endurance. For honorable warfare we are al ways ready, even if not prepared. l*et the citations and decorations of Jewish soldiers testify. In honorable combat all of us Jews are willing to be exterminated even completely. But the children of Israel, the sons of the prophets, the lineal descend ants of the Maccabees flatly and categorically refuse to be drowned like rats, to be throttled like snakes, to be crushed like worms. Only a completely demoralized and thor oughly depraved world can tolerate such a state of affairs. Poland had become the fondled child, the pet of those Allies who went into the war for aggrandize ment and material gain. Why? Be cause by Poland's geographical posi tion the majdVity of the Allies ex pect her to hem and hedge in Ger many. (What guarantee they take from Poland that she will just cater to the interests of the Allies, I do not know). So Poland is allowed to cloak her cowardice under the pre text that she is killing "lawless" Jews Yes, we are lawless only In the sense that we are not vouchsafed any law to protect us, no law to save tho lives of our defenseless women and children. Ip other words, we have been outlawed. Yes, we have been outlawed by the flower of civiliza tion. Do people really believe that we deserve no protection of the law? If so, let them say that openly, so that we may know where wo ate at. The outrageous insinuation of the leaders of the new Poland that the Jews in their domain are lawless finds its parallel only in the notor ious amount of slander coming from the same source that Jews use the blood of Christians for rituul purposes. Has not the cup of Israel's tragedy been filled to its brim yet? For centuries we hoped that the time would finally come when Israel too would see light. Patiently we waited for the dawn of a new era. With the strong confidence in humanity and with the fortitude characteris tic of our race we pierced through the dense fog of the "dark ages" 'and projected our visions into tho far future. How refreshed, how glad dened because Israel's cry had been heard that at last a war for real civilization, for genuine Democracy was being fought. With all his heart, with all his energy be plunged into tho great struggle. His eyes received a new luster, his face be came brightened, and the old wrin kles began to become smoothed down by the new hope. Then after the war. With throbbing hearts and with tearful eyes, we cast our wistful and hopeful glances across the ocean to the tribunal of justice that was set up in Versailles. We lifted up our eyes to the mountains, saying fervently, "Thence will come our help." But what now? Is our tragedy to be worse than ever before? Has light came to the world only to make us see our misery in a new light, just unspeakable, and incon ceivable agony? There are societies and organizations for tho prevention of cruelty to animals. Are we worse than animals? Is the Jew who was the first to give the conception of justice to the world to be the last to enjoy its blessings? Oh, ungrate ful, treacherous, false world! Why encumber your dictionaries with such meaningless words as justice, humanity, righteousness. civiliza tion? Why make your dictionaries so bulky and heavy. When there is a single word that can take the place of all the afore mentioned terms —camouflage. Erase, blot out 1 those words from your codes. Why MAY 26, 1919. blaspheme? The German E-Kalser shocked the Allied world by his sacrilegious appeal to God. Now some of our Allies shock God by this hypocritical auction, shame and shameful reference to Justice. This is the tone in which America should speak to tho world. America staked its all for the sake of four teen idealistic terms, for the sake of true idealism for the sake of estab lishing justice in the world. Is this [the way in which those that are able are paying America it debt? Even Mr. Charles Hughes said in New York the other day at the protest meeting in Madison Square Garden.
