The bill required 104 votes to pass. Very little debate occurred on the measure which has been much dis cussed for weeks and immediately after it was defeated the Fox measure, a companion bill, was taken up. Mr. Vickerman, Allegheny, who was the first speaker, declared that the bill was essential to properly enforce pro hibition In Pennsylvania. remarking that former President William H. Taft held that such acts were needed. The Republican party, which is in the ma jority in the legislature, will be held accountable, said he. and the govern or as the State leader can not ignore, the importance of the issue. Mr Ramsey. Delaware, declared there was enough legal machinery in Penn sylvania now to enforce prohibition and that a new department with nine offi cials should not be created. The Delaware man differed with Mr. Vlckerman on nearly everything and held that the courts could dispose of any violations of the law. There were only two speeches. Pauphin Opposed All of the Pauphin members voted "no." as did Mr. Mefkernell. Lebanon, and most of the l>ancaster members. Messrs. Cook. Brooks and Kanius. York; Bower. Perry; Becklev and Bowman.

Third St. TUESDAY EVENING, ALLIED SEAPLANES SILENCE RED GUNS OF LAKE FLOTILLA Attack Bolshevik Craft on Lake Onega, in Northern Russia; 'Rebel Ships Flee With Planes in Pursuit; Machine Guns Rake Decks of Enemy Vessels By Associated Press.

The bombs drop ped by the seaplanes did not hit the Bolshevik boats but the machine guns carried by the aircraft raked the decks of the lake boats and ICOMPENSATIO NFUND INNOCENT IN DECREE [Continued from First Page.] this city, have been received By members of the order in Harrisburg. They go fully into the controversy that led up to the action of the Grand Ixtdge official and also correct one mis-statement that crept into the original article published with relation to the revocation of the charter. In justice to members of the Brotherhood Relief and Com pensation Fund it should be said that the acting president of the order docs not in any way mention the Compensation F\md as being party to the letters sent out by members of the lodge to which the Grand President takes exception. This mis understanding doubtless came about through a brief filled by one of the members of the lodge during the in vestigation in which he said that membership in the Compensation Fund, Fellowship or Mutual Benefit, was responsible doubtless for much of the differences then existing be tween members of Dodge 6 73. How ever, it is admitted in this brief that the members of the lodge might be long to any of these organizations without violating any brotherhood pledges, unless "the choice made is! detrimental to the interests of tlie| established brotherhoods. Nothing, however, in • the report of Acting. President reflects discredit upon the i Compensation Fund. The members of the lodge, whoi lose their membership through thei revocation of the charter, have ap pealed to the national convention! from the decision of Mr. Shea. In. the meantime, it is announced that' a number of members have notified the Grand Lodge that they are not i in sympathy with the movement which caused the trouble and will 1 be transferred to other lodges. The records of the case cover many typewritten pages and have been Issued in mimeographed form. < They outline every point of the con-: troversy and the correspondence be- j tween the Grand and local lodges j is included. The article in the Telegraph in question said: "According to statements from Brotherhood headquarters here, an organization known as the Brother hood Relief and Compensation Fund became attached to the Harrisburg lodge, and under the jurisdiction of the latter, circular letters were is sued to members of railroad broth erhoods, urging them to join the Compensation Fund. These letters, according to statements of officials, contained propaganda not dissimilar to the circular by the Industrial Workers of the World and the Na tional Union or Railway Men. and for a time it was feared would bring about serious conditions in the brotherhood. This Compensation Fund also has headquarters in Har risburg." This is not true. The Telegraph was misinfprmed. The Brotherhood Relief" and Compensation Fund heads say their organization was never attached to this lodge or any other—the only connection between it and the Brotherhoods being that only Brotherhood men may join the Compensation Fund. Neither did the Compensation Fund, they say, ever send out any circular letters through William H. Morne Lodge or any other Brotherhood lodge and. of course, could not be guilty of a propaganda of the kind alleged. An error was made in mentioning the name of W. S. Carter as presi dent. he having been released from his duties about a year ago in order to take important Government work, the mistake being due to the letter heads still carrying his name. This foregoing statement, so far as the Telegraph is concerned, is to be regarded as a full retraction gladly made of any mis-statement inadvertently published regarding the Brotherhood Relief and Com pensation Fund, as well as the erroneous use of Mr. Carter's name as president of the Brotherhood of Firemen and Enginemen.

Scrviss As far as has yet been found out the most advanced Inhabitants of the earth in prehistoric ages lived around the Pyrenees and the Canta | brian mountains, in France and Spain, and had natural caverns for homes. They were men of artistic ability, painters and sculptors, exhibiting a good deal of taste, considering their lack of advantages, showing a sense of humor as well as an appreciation of dramatic effect, and manifesting a very keen interest in the remark able animals that were their eon-] temporaries. They have left us on, the walls and in the recesses of their i abandoned caves a representation of the living world of their time more vivid than words could produce. They lived, and made their pic tures, at least four times as far back of the traditional time of Adam and Eve as that time is back of ours. A moderate estimate of the date when the cavern men flourished is 30,000 years ago. In 30,000 years the pole of the nocturnal sky would make a complete revolution around the pole of the ecliptic and be well advanced on a second turn, with all the vast changes of temperature and climate in the northern hemisphere which this processional motion of the earth's axis implies. And yet those men of so remote an antiquity, while they lacked our knowledge of mechanics, of mctal tirgy. of chemistry, and our skill in the technique of art, nevertheless possessed as clear and definite in tellectual perceptions of the world around them as we do. They looked at things with human eyes, having a comprehending brain behind them, and not at all in the manner of brute animals. To be able to make a picture of a reindeer, a bison, a horse, an ele phant. a rhinoceros, a man or a woman, as they were able to do, shows that in fundamentals they were not measurably nearer the apes than we are. They possessed every power necessary to the ulti mate development of everything that we have since accomplished. All that they needed was experi ence and education. The unknown "savage" who drew in primitive colors, and by artificial light, in the depths of a Pyrenean cavern a faithful portraiture of a prehistoric bison, was a true ancestor of Mich ael Angelo. The .history of the in dividual repeats the history of the race, but Michael Angelo, as a child, would have made a picture much more crude than the product of the full-grown artist of the Stone Age. The latter did not, then, repre sent the early childhood of man kind; he was later, he stood, rather, for its youth, or even its young manhood. How far back would we have to go to find the earliest glimmerings of the intel ligence that finally could paint a picture on a cavern wall? Twice 30,000 years, or four times 30,000 years? Considering the wonderful appreciation of form, shade and color which some of these cave paintings display, one is tempted to say that a million years would hardly suffice to evolve such ability if it had to be developed step by step. From some of the pictures there seems to radiate an intellectual light so strong, bright and steady, so matchable to the radiance of the human mind to-day, that we can hardly distinguish any essen tial inferiority, and we wonder whether this intelligence was not just as far above the brute level then as it is now. Recurring to the principle that the individual, in his development, repeats the course of the develop ment of the race, where, in the evolution of humanity, are we going to put our finger upon the place at which the first spark of conscious intelligence appeared in the human stock as it appears in the human child. You never know just when that occurs with your child. \ou can not fix with certainty the day, or the week, or hardly the month, when your child i>asses the line and begins to see things with the eve of reason. It is evident that the ancient Pyrenean artists were very far on the hither side of that line. Recently a new cavern has been found, or a new group of prehistoric paintings in an already known cav ern, at Montesqut-Avantes in Ariage, France. The discoverers are Count Begouen and his sons, long recog nized as leaders in this work, and some of the pictures are described as astonishing, including, for the first time, if I am not mistaken, birds such as swans, ducks, and others, and a very refnarkable figure of a man whose form suggests an an thropoidal rather than a truly hu man shape. Every precaution seems to have been taken against imposition, and it is well that there should be caution, considering the conscience less frauds that have been practiced in connection with other archaeo logical remains.

He mentioned the b'rnvery of the men, paying tribute to such men as Captain Hasskarl, Lieutenant Lutz. Sergeant Jerome Hamilton, Sergeant Donbaugh and many others, all of this city. He also spoke highly of Henry W. Tay lor. The next speaker was Major Thomas H.

Schaffer Objects to Injunction Surrender in Phone Rate Case Final proceedings in Pennsyl vania's Aght against the oGvern ment's control of inter-State tele phone rates were started in Dau phin county court this afternoon, when John L. Swayze, attorney for the Bell Telephone Company of Pennsylvania, asked that a decree be issued dissolving the injunction procured by the Attorney General of Pennsylvania against the increased rates asked by Postmaster General Burleson. President Judge Kunkel presided. Attorney General Schaffer opposed the dissolution of the decree. He de clared that the decision of the United States Supreme Court is no longer applicable. The more recent order of Postmaster General Burle son returning the properties to their owners, with the exception of the power to control rates, presents con ditions under which the ruling no longer appliase, he maintained. Attorney • Swayze, however, took the opposite stand. He said that the mere retention by Postmaster Gen eral Burleson of the right to control rates renders the Supreme Court rul ing applicable. No comment was made by Judge Kunkel and decision was reserved. Daring Auto Thief Lives Like Prince in London Ijoiidon. June 10.

Mr. Alexander, Dela- I ware, moved to go into committee of the whole to which Mr. Brady. Phila delphia. objected, saying there had been ample opportunity to amend. Mr. Ramsey said his amendment would take out the "ripper" feature and Mr. Cox. Philadelphia, asked the House to give fair play to this bill as was done to the .charter bill. House Defeats Motion The main question was then defhand ed to end the debate and voted down, but no one else wanted to talk and the House proceeded to defeat the mo tion to go into committee of the whole. John R. K. Scott then took the Aoor to discuss the bill, saying that while It had good elements it contained a "ripper" and was being forced through by unseen people who did not have the conAdence of the voters. Scott said hte bill was Attended to lead the Gov ernor into an alliance. He attacked Flynn as a Republican masquerading as a Democrat. Mr. Williams.

SAFETY ZONES ARE PROVIDED ABOUT FIRES New Regulations to Supplant Those Drawn When De partment Used Horses Rules for the city Are department regulating the speed of apparatus answering alarms and returning from tires, providing for safety com mittees at tires, complete control and management of apparatus and tiro houses, use of telephones and similar orders were submitted to-day to City Council for approval by Commis sioner E. Z. Cross. According to Commissioner Gross it is essential that the new rules should be approved as the ones tin der which the department is now controlled were framed at a time when all the apparatus was horse drawn and the present organization was not developed. The use of mo tor driven equipment in every com pany has largely necessitated the change in the rules, many of which are made much more stringent. Safety Zones Provided One of the proposed rules pro vides that rope should be taken to each fire to be used in establishing a safety zone. Each company is to appoint five members to act on the safety committee and to nssist the police in handling crowds and safe guarding against accident. Unless absolutely necessary when responding to an alarm sirens and bells are not to be sounded when passing churches, schools and hos pitals. The speed limit in respond ing to calls is Axed at 2 4 miles an hour, returning from them, at 15 miles an hour. In returning to the houses all traffic regulations of the city must be observed. Storage Not Permitted Storage of any automobile or truck not owned by the city is not to he permitted in nny Arehouse. Any driver or employe under the in- Auence of liquor is to be dismissed at once.

PUBLIC LIBRARY TO EXTEND BRANCHES [Continued from First Pngc.] it was a purely technical subject we were able to give the information and again proved the worth of our refer ence department." Miss Eaton was tnlking to the trustes of the library at their regular session last night and the board was more than pleased to learn of the enlarging use fulness of the institution through its various activities. Miss Aincy Resigns Miss Katon was talking to the trustees gret the resignation of Miss Ainey, tier capable assistant in charge of the re ference library, who has necepted an important place In the Waterbury, Conn, library. A committee comprising A. C. Stamm, A. P. Bacon and EL J. Staekpole was appointed to consider the raising of a special fund to further develop the branch libraries in the school buildings of the city. Miss Baton reported great success in this department of the work and gave many facts proving the value of the movement. Hundreds of volumes nre placed In the hands of school ehtl- j dren all over the city through this circulating system and in one year more than 40,000 books were given out in this way. Only about fifty per cent, of them were fiction, the other half being more solid works on art, history, bio graphy and technical subjects. It Is estimated about $2,600 will be required to provide further school li brary facilities and it is the hope of the trustees that the public will come to the help of the institution in the raising of this fund. More than 3,000 school children regularly patronize the library and appreciate its opportunities and advantages. Reference questions are submitted on every conceivable subject and after careful research courteous answers arc given all these inquirers. The other day a dispute arose in the lobby of the Penn-Harrls Hotel and a hurried phone message to the Public Library got an immediate and satisfactory response which evoked much favorable comment at the big hotel. It is hoped through the circulating school library plan under the super vision of Miss Baton and her force the civic center idea will be given greater impetus and the school buildings be more generally utilized by the people. Through these branch libraries it will be possible to supply the communities surrounding the school buildings. All this may mean eventually a school li brarian to direct the work as an addi tional member of the library staff. Children must be taught not only what to read but how to read and that is the effort of Miss Eaton and her assistants. Fortunately the school teachers and principals are co-operating earnestly! with the library officials. Miss Eaton/ told last night of her experience ln( the Americanization school where h! has met the foreign-born students and! fcund eager and intelligent response t<w her teaching. Children of the adults! who attend this school play about oni the floor and in some cases nre nble to! grasp what Is said and interpret meaning to their parents.
