AEWS OF LEGISLATURE GRAY SURPRISES THE SENATORS 1 Introduces Resolution to Rat ify the Suffrage Amendment The fight to make Pennsylvania the first State to ratify the suffrage' amendment to the national constitu- j tion, started last evening when Sen- ! ator George Gray, of Philadelphia, j■ introduced in the Senate a joint |■ resolution toward that end. According to Senator Gray, the in- ; illative for his action rests with him- j self, and so far as is known, the j. move was not one planned by the j ■ administration, although it will un doubtedly have Governor Sprout's ' backing. Senator Gray requested | the committment of his resolution to j: the Federal relations committee, but, l.ieutenant Governor E. E. Beidle- ; man referred id to the committee on judiciary general. Delegations of suffragists from all !, over the State were busy at the j Capitol yesterday, and Senator ! Gray's resolution, coming as it did. | within a few minutes of 12 o'clock j at night, came as a crowning re- ; ward for the "sufr's" labors. If the resolution should fail to j pass, Pennsylvania will at least hold ! the distinction of being the first 1 State to receive a motion toward | ratification of the national amend-j ment Legislatures of three other | States are in session, but thus far, nothing has been done in regard to the matter. The Senate last night passed on second reading approximately 100 appropriation bills, recently reported from committee and carrying thou sands of dollars for various hospitals : and charitable institutions through- ■ out the State. Senator Frank A. Smith, of Dau phin. presented a bill enabling George Weiger, Sr., of Harrisburg, to sue the State of Pennsylvania for damages incurred by the death of h's son, George Weiger, Jr.. who was killed in an automobile accident near I.ewistown in October, 1917. The bil states that the accident oc curred through a defective bridge on the State highway system. Senator Edward Patton. of Phila delphia, was the recipient of con gratulations last evening on the oc- i oasion of his "3rd birthday. A re- j cess of five minutes was declared | during which Senator Patton was i surrounded with many friends wait ing to grasp his hand. The committee on appropriations reported out Senator Leslie's bill ap- ' propriating $lO,OOO to the State i branch of the American Legion, to j a convention to be held in this city | in the fall. | LIFT OFF CORNS WITH FINGERS Doesn't hurt a bit and costs only few cents A ® ft m /I You'll laugh. / V Apply a few drops j J \ then lift sore, j / \ touchy corns right i / off - Nopaia.

RAMSEY'S BILL ' HAS EXPERIENCE Killed and Revived in an Ef fort to Kill It For All Time The Ramsey bill, establishing any ! liquor containing more than 2*4 per j cent, of alcohol as an intoxicant, was defeated in the House, taken up j on a reconsideration motion by men i opposed to the bill in an effort to j kill it and put it back on the calen der. The development was one of the most sensational known in consider ation of liquor legislation in years. The "dry" forces had defeated the bill early in the evening, when it received 97 votes to 94. The bill needed 104 votes and two men, who had voted for the bill, changed to the negative to be in a position to move reconsideration. Before they could act, Messrs. Sho walter, Union, and Wallace, Lawr ence, opponents of the bill, moved reconsideration. Under the rules defeat of the motion would have killed the bill. The vote was 107 to S2. Mr. Ramsey, sponsor for the bill, then moved postponement. On the first vote, Mr. Rorke. i Philadelphia, who did not vote when his name was called, asked to |be recorded, but objections were made. Messrs. Dithrich and Stadt | lander, Allegheny, changed votes, ■ pleading they had voted "aye" under misapprehension and went on the negative after objections. Rill Is Useless Mr. Showalter. Union, and Mr, Palmer, Schuylkill, were the only speakers, debate being cut off by a call by Mr. Dithrich, Allegheny, for the previous questions. Very few men opposed the call. Mr. Showal ter contended that the bill if it be came a law would nullify the Fed eral prohibition amendment and that the bll itself is an admission that liquor with 2% per cent, alco hol will intoxicate. Section six, he said, is "clearly a violation of the eighteenth amendment." No doubt Congress will soon decide what is intoxicating liquor and then any leg islative action will he set aside, he argued. He said the Internal Rev j enue Bureau had ruled anything over j one-half per cent was intoxicating. I "If that is a fact, any action on our part would be useless and it would I be foolish to pass this bill," said the Union member, who also challenged [ the title as misleading. He closed j by saying the bill is not in keeping I with the sentiment of the *i,nes. Mr. Palmer denied Mr. Showalter's 1 statements and said observations of j scientific men were that 2*4 per cent, i of alcohol would not in toxic lie. He | said Professor H. A. Hare, of Pnila delphia, and others had so decided. "Why did not the member from ! Union produce one expert on this all important question?" he asked. | Mr. Palmer said that if the bill was not passed, the question would go into the courts. When Mr. Dithrich asked to change his vote, several members objected and Mr. Dithrich said he had voted by mistake. [ "How could that be possible?" de manded Mr. Wallace, Lawrence. The chair cannot go behind the concience of members," declared the Speaker. Mr. Stadtlander when asked if he had voted under a misapprehension replied, "I did." The members were qllowed to change their votes on their asser tions. Half an hour later "dry" mem- I hers moved reconsideration. Relief Is Urged Joint resolutions appropriating I $lOO,OOO for relief of families of miners who lost their lives in the Wilkes-Barre disaster, were intro | duced by Mr. Powell, Luzerne, soon after the night sessiop of the House began. The resolution proposes that the mo.ley be p-.ced in the hands of the State Department of Health "to he used In the Interest of the public health by the granting of . immediate relief to the families of j the men killed in the explosion and tire" and "such other purposes in ' connection with said disaster as to j the said department may seem nec | essary for the protection of the pub lic health." Prayer for those who lost relatives through the mine disaster at Wilkes- Barre was offered by Chaplain Feld man. who prayed for divine comfort for the widows and orphans. Immed iately after Mr. F wler, Lackawanna, presented a resoli tion deploring the accident and asking the appropria tion committee to make HI; appro priation of $20,000 for relief of suf ferers. It was laid over for printing. An unsuccessful attempt was made to reconsider the defeat of the Catlin Senate bill relative to sale of coal under cemeteries, but an effort to revive the Daix bill relative to teachers' retirement funds, went through SI to sfl. The Dithrich motor vehicle hill was recalled from the Governor for amendment. Stands by Committee The House declined to reverse its committee on manufactures in its negative report on the bill to make contractors liable for wages owed by subcontractors. Mr. Fowler, Lack awanna, moved to put the bill on the calendar, whereupon Chairman Hess said the action of the commit tee had been unanimous. Resolutions calling on the Gov i eminent to vote three months' extra pay to all honorably discharged sol diers, sailors and marines, were in troduced by Mr. Brendle. Berks, and laid over for printing. They recited that Canada and Australia made such provisions. The bfil creating a commissioner of delinquency in the State F.oard i of Public Charities was recommitted |to the committee on manufactures | for a hearing. i The House cleared the first and | second reading calendars including j numerous Senate hills. Rv a "ote of 92 to 40 the House sent hack to the appropriations com [mittee the Senate volunteer police i bill. Mr. Fowler. I-ackawdnna. ! moved that the bill he recommitted for a hearing and demanded a roll I call. Sympathy For Mr. Mnckrclt j The House adopted resolutions I presented by Mr. Marcus.

Hand and Amendments Arc Made | The Philadelphia charter bill was I amended in halt" a dozen places on j j third reading in the House of Rep' e- j 1 sentatives and laid over for final j action to-day without a word of dc-j : bate. Prior to the action, amend-' ; ments for a council of 21 and other j I changes were agrved on and d- awnj ; up. All that remained to be done was to insert them, which was done ! in the presence of many Pliiladel- j 1 phians.

The bill was scheduled to come' up at 10.45 p. m., but was post-; i poned and it was 11:17 when Mr. I j Ramsey. Delaware, called it. A few j minutes before that time. Attorney, i General SchafTer, John R. K. Scot' j [find Mr. Ramsey came into the hall.

Si, fore us, as a real question, is the question of time. I have had to draft all the amendments to this bill this afternoon, that is, they have had to be drafted here in my ottiee because Mr. White was compelled to go to Philadelphia to keep a pro fessional engagement. 1 want to see this bill go through as fast us it can go through. Any new amendments i now are fraught with great danger, it seems to me, without my having time to study them, and without full knowledge on the subject. Look : ing at things from a certain famili arity with your affairs in Philadel delpliia, living as I do under the , caves of Philadelphia, and from a | three weeks' study of this bill and | suggestions coming to me from every ! angle in reference to it, it seems to me that the major part of the diffi culties which you have suffered so far as office holders being politics is concerned, will be eliminated when policemen and firemen are taken out of politics. 1 have made the provl -1 sions as to policemen and firemen as drastic as they can be made, sub jecting them to tine and imprison | ment. and leaving in the bill the provision that any taxpayer can file : a bill in equity against any police j man or fireman who violates the law. "I cannot agree with the proposi ; tion that all office holders ought to' I be denied the right to take part in i I politics, but I do think the police-] ! man with a club, a revolver and a i uniform ought not to take part in j i politics. That is my thought on the] proposition. So that there may be' :no misunderstanding, I desire to 1 t state that your civil service, underl | the bill now drafted, will be the same as it is to-day. It will apply to the same departments and the same men with the same laws that you have now, to-day, including the 'act of February 15, 1906, but with ) the great additional safeguard that ] the policemen and firemen will be i taken out of politics with the pen alties so drastic that they won't dare to come in. "The great thing in this bill, it seems to me, is your council of twenty-one. your small council. What I think you will find is this: Twenty-one men who can be picked out and individuated in your city government will have a tremendous ly added sense of responsibility as to the duties they pertorm for the city. I believe that with this act you will get high-grade men in of fice, both elective and appointive, and if you have, high-grade men inj office, the difficulties that have! faced you will very largely disap-1 pear. I have tried to make this; council, as your committee has sug- ' gested, and as Mr. Winston has un falteringly contended for, a repre sentative body responsible to the will of the people in Philadelphia." Compensation to Go Through Now Early passage of the administra tion measure amending the State compensation law is predicted at the Capitol to-day since the amend ments were inserted in the Smith bill last night in the Senate com mittee in charge. These amend- i ments do not interfere with the rates or other big features, but make certain changes in procedure and in distribution and other details, which were urged by employers. The bill was a cause of discus sion for over a week and the agree ments were finally agreed upon by interested parties late yesterday. Governor William C. Sproul and At torney General William I. Schuffer stood by the hill as drawn and as a result of their position the em ployers agreed to the rates and oth er features, but suggested some changes in the legal end of the measure which were made. New Bureau Bill Through Senate The Senate last evening passed finally the measure creating a bu reau of rates in the Insurance De partment. The vote on the meas ure. sponsored by Mr. Hess, Lancas ter, was 36-fi. Senator Vare, speaking on the bill, said that he had been under the Impression that the measure ] would drive out of business a great ; number of ligitimate concerns but i that he hud talked to the Insurance j Commissioner and had been assured ■ that such was not the cuse. "Conse- ! quently," said Mr. Vare, "I have no . objections to the bill." The new i bureau will consider the rates to be ] charged by insurance companies for j compensation insurance. Liechtenstein Serves Ultimatum on Conference By Associated Press. Paris, June 10.—A curious feature of the Peace Conference is that the principality of Liechtenstein hus served the Conference with an ulti matum that it will sever communi cation with it unless the principal ity is heard, particularly with re gard to its desire to participate in the League of Nations. The route from Paris to Vienna lies through the principality, so that the threat to stop communication, if it is carried into effect, might cause some annoyance.
