"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. ,

! 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.
The Eyre bill regulating use of
tractors containing cleats on State
highways has been reported to the
House with amendments whereby
machines not damaging highways

State Highway Department wili
send out questionnaires on each trac
tor and those shown to be danger
ous to roads, will have to be rem
edied or refused license.
The Rinn grade crossing: bill was
I reported out with all clauses, but
|one stricken out. This clause pro
vides that one grade crossing in
j each forty miles shall be abolished
j annually.

' inclair bill, abolishing: all olcomar
serine licenses, after a hearing.

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.
British Women Besiege
Stores at Times of Sales
London. June 4. The constantly

Sunday morning one woman was
waiting outside the establishment
Soon several others came with pro
visions and campstools. They sat
through the whole day and night,
and were joined by many hundreds
the next morning. Three policemen
were requisitioned to restrain their
rushes when the doors opened.
