Try One To-day h "WEDNESDAY EVENING, VARE MEN FIGHT | CHARTER BILL Battle Against the Measure in House Started After Com mittee Takes Action : Vare members of the House last , i night started what bids fair to be one of the most strenuous fights in recent legislative years against the I Philadelphia charter bill. Defeated i in the municipal affairs committee. . they carried the fight to the tloor of the House and made the night ! se.sion exceedingly lively, threaten-1 ■ \ ing a renewal of hostilities to-day. i The bill was reported to the. j House after the rule of the House i fixing the order of business had been suspended and a filibuster attempted ' by Mr. Glass, Philadelphia, one of i (he Vare members. The incident] ! I foreshadowed a battle against the charter bill and when Mr. G'a<s had j | been finally refused recognition by] i Speaker Spangler, he declared ho : : would have his say to-morrow. The; [Speaker abruptly terminated the' ! controversy by announcing a me-] I morial service and requesting the ' chaplain to offer prayer. The charter bill, which had passed first reading with amendments some time ago. was to have been consid- 1 ered by the municipal corporations! committee at 2 o'clock in the after noon, but Chairman W. P. Stadt- 1 lander, of Pittsburgh, did not ap- ] pear. Members of the committee! then arranged a meeting at the con- ; ■ elusion of the afternoon session of] the House, but adjourned it until 7:30, when with Mr. Powell, Luzerne,. , presiding, the bill was considered. Amendments proposed by Mr. Ram-, j sey. Delaware, who sat beside J. R. K. Scott. Philadelphia, leader of the Vare forces in the House, and one] by Mr. Sowers, were voted down, j Some of the amendments were draft-] jed after consultation with the At- 1 I torney General, it was reported. ] ] They provided for separation of tlie[ offices cf city treasurer and receiver. !of taxes, extension of the time l'or 'action on contracts until December! 'l. 1920, and changed civil service provisions. Mr. Sowers' amendment increased salaries of councilmen from $5,000 to SIO,OOO. The votes were 9 to 5 and 12 to 5. Charter revisionists succeeded in getting in amendments increasing councilmen from 21 to 27 and bafed on one for each 1'5,000 voters: for bidding the present councils from making contracts for street cleaning and garbage collection beyond July 1. 1920, and providing for correction of voting lists by petition. These were much debated. The bill was ordered reported by a viva voce vote, Mr. Scott being among the "noes." When the House reconvened at 5:22, Mr. Glass registered an objec tion as soon as the Speaker called the House to order. The matter dragged along until about B:2S. when Mr. Glass called for the order of the day. The Speaker ruled that S:3O. the hour set for the memorial service, had not arrived. Mr. Powell then moved that the rule fixing the order ef business bo suspended. Mr. Glass at once declared that the mo tion was net a proper one and was overruled. Mr. Scott stood close to Mr, Glass during the controversy. Mr, Glass took nn appeal to the chair, but at R:3O withdrew it and renewed his call for the order of the day, Mr. Dunn rnlsod the same call. Speaker Spangler ruled that there was n motion before the House and put the Powell motion against loud protests from Mr, Glass and calls for the order of the day. The vote on the Powell motion was $3 to 21 and the Speaker recognized Mr. Gans, Philadelphia, to report out the charter bill. Mr. Glats again objected, but the chair overruled him and received the bill. Mr. Laf ferty, Philadelphia, also reported one of the Philadelphia bills, al though Mr. Glass was raising points of order. He rose to a question of personal privilege when Mr. Mc- Vicar, Allegheny, desired to report a bill, but the Speaker received the bill. After some business had inter vened. Mr. Glass, as a matter of privilege, declared that the bill re ceived by the Speaker was not the ! original bill and should not have heen accepted. The chair ruled his point not well taken and Mr. Rarn ! sey. Delaware, objected to the ! method of Mr. Glass, who then re newed objections and was again overruled. The Speaker ordered the memor ial service to proceed and Mr. Glass said that the Speaker had allowed the hour to pass. The Speaker de clined to hear him any further, but i Mr. Glass again raised a point of : order and the Speaker declared that Ihe would not listen to him. "Then you will hear me to-mor row," retorted the Philadelphian. The Speaker ordered the memor ial service to begin and asked Chap lain Feldman to offer prayer, end ing the matter. The Vare forces said that they would fight every inch of the way against the bill. Bank Bill Has Strenuous Time Strenuous opposition to the hill sponsored by Senator Graff. Indiana, which would confer fiduciary powers on State banks, was manifested yes terday before the Senate committee on hanks and building and Toan associations. J. C. Robinson, of Pittsburgh, a member of the execu tive committee of the Trust Com pany Association of Pennsylvania, declared that the bill discriminated against trust companies. Mr. Rob inson said: "It would confer upon banks all the powers of trust com panies. while denying to the trust companies some of the bank's priv ileges." Among other speakers against the bill was Major David A. Reed, of Pittsburgh, counsel for the trust companies, who said that a commission is already at work cod ifying the State banking laws, and that they should not be interfered with at this time. Mr. Davis, representing the De posit and Savings Bank of Kingston. I.uzerne county, declared that there : s no substantial difference between \ State banks and trust companies, •id that the bill should be passed. , hp Detailed! to Camp Kearney, Cal.

Alkali in Shampoos Bad For Washing Hair j Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali, which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle. The best thing to use is Mulsifled cocoanut oil shampoo, for this is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap and beats anything else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family for months. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. about a teaspoonful is all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to han dle. Besides, it loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dand ruff.

SUNDAY CONCERT BILL BUMPED Philudelphia Clergymen Say It Would Be "Entering Wedge" The Bucher bill to permit Sunday concerts by orchestras not organized for profit and supported by volun tary contributions and endowments, was denounced as an entering wedge for Sunday amusements before a sub-committee of the House law and order committee by Philadelphia clergymen. Arthur Judson. mana ger of the Philadelphia orchestra, who appeared in support of the bill, said that Philadelphia was a musi cal center with over 200.000 stu dents taking music lessons and that the plan was one which would en able music of a high grade to be placed within reach of people Who could not attend such concerts on other days. Mr. Bucher said that he had drawn the bill to meet a situation which he saw in Philadelphia and that he was opposed to commercial izing the Sabbath. Mr. Judson urged the bill because of the importance of music in Philadelphia, present ing figures to show that many peo ple were interested, also remarking that the city appropriated $17,000 for hand concerts of which he did not think very much. The Rev. P. Y. Shelley, the Rev. W. B. Forney and the Rev. Dr. T. T. Mutchler, of Philadelphia, op posed the bill, saying that Sunday concerts were not demanded as much as stated and that they would be an entering wedge against Sab bath observance. Representative John Thomas Da vis, of Indiana, chairman of the sub committee, said that a report would be made later. He had a clash with Representative Golder, Philadelphia, over questioning of the men present.

British Airships Help to Clear Mines From Isles I.ondon, June 4.—Sweeping up the thousands of mines which strew the seas in the neighborhood of the Brit ish Isles has proved such a costly and dangerous job when carried on by the ordinary methods, that the Ad miralty has turned to the airship foi relief. Experiments conducted in" the North Sea. it is announced, have been successful, mines being located and exploded much quicker than \\ hen the usual mine-sweeping: shin is used. 1 While the airship has the advan tage of height in locating mines, the mere fact that an airship cannot hit a mine adds so much to the element of safety that it is expected that much of the 5,000 square miles of mine-strewn waters which remain will be cleared without loss of life.
