The Senate judiciary special com (■xtttee gave a hearing on a section *rf the bill which provides for the [basts on which wages, figuring in compensation, shall be computed. B. pO. Clark, of Funxsutawney, repre senting bituminous coal interests, said that the basis on which com pensation was computed in the bill las It stands amounts to more than Mho sixty per cent, which the bill is warpposed to allow and is "nnrea- Sonable, unjust and unfair."

He suggested that "materials, sup • plies, tools and other things" be in cluded in the deductions. The bill provides that in com puting a man's wages with regard to continuous employment the wages shall be taken to be five and one half times his average earnings at the rate for a working day fixed be fore an accident occurs and using as a 1-asjS of calculation his ear-lings during so much of the preceding six months as he worked for the same caiplaj tr. The. amendment which it was sought by Mr. Clark to insert pro vided that a man's average weekly earnings are to be ascertained by dividing his total earnings for so much of the preceding twelve months as he was in the employ of the employer by the number of cal endar weeks in such period, deduct ing, however, from such divisor any full weeks or fractional parts there of during which he was prevented from working by reason of his own sickness, as evidenced by affidavit of attending physician. The Attorney General opposed the amendment, declaring that the sec tion as it stood was the fairest thing he could devise, and that it worked out fairly.

SPANGLER WARNS HOUSE MEMBERS Tells Them to Attend Meetings or Many Bills May Fall by the Wayside Speaker Spangler warned the | members of the House at the open ing of the night session that if they left Harrisburg and did not attend sessions until the House adjourned for the week that there was danger of bills either dying in committee or the calendar. He urged that they attend all sessions until the legislature adjourns. The bill amending the optometry law was recommitted to the com mittee on health and sanitation. The State Department of Health quarantine, bill was passed by the House 132 to 3. The bill makes stronger certain regnlatlons and is designed to avoid such situation as arose during the influenza epidemic. The State salary board bill was postponed. The House amended the Wallace auxiliary game preserve bill which had been recalled from the Gov ernor so that it could contain au thority for the conservation com mission to take over lands. The House passed finally: Regulating construction bridges on orders from the Public Service Commission in which the State is to pay a share. Increasing allowances to Superior Court judges for clerical help. Requiring hospitals to submit building plans to the State Board of Public Charities before receiving any appropriations. Requiring permits for all collec tion of money for various patriotic and similar purposes. Requiring moving picture distrib utors to make deposits with the State Board of Censors. Regulating revocation of antomo bile licenses by the State Highway Department. The Smith hilt requiring school districts to name attendance officers was defeated after speeches against it by Mr. Marshall. Beaver, and for it by Mr. Woner, Butler. The latter made an extended argument for the hill, contending it would be bene ficial. The vote was 142 to 30. FISHERMEN'S LICENSE WINS Passed in the House After a Strenuous Time Over the Roll Call Last Evening The fishermen's license bill pro viding for a one dollar license from all fishermen above the age of six teen, except those fishing on their own lands, was passed in the House at the afternoon session by 107 to 70 after the roll call had been ques tioned. The votes were verified and several changes made. The bill was defeated early in the session and reconsidered. It was also defeated last session. Mr. Powell, Luzerne, sponser for the bill, estimated that it would raise $300,000 a year and provide funds to complete fish hatcheries and enable extensive propagation work in the State. Mr. Showalter, Union. demanded a verification of the rules. Speaker Spangler arose after the vote had been announced and say ing that he had been out of the chamber when the vote was taken could not be recorded as "aye." Speaker pro tern. Cox said the roll showed the Speaker in the "no" column. Mr. Powell stated the Senate had incorporated most of the House fish bills in amendments to the code. The House passed the bill to legalize fox hunting in Chester and Montgomery counties, 115 to 44, in spite of protests by Mr. Phillips, Clearfield. The House adopted resolutions giving revenue and appropriation bills precedence to take effect Wednesday and extended time of all bills on the postponed calendar for five days. The Heaton Senate bill fixing pay of legislative employes was passed 127 to 12 and sent to the Senate for concurrence in amendments. School Teacher Increase Favored At a hearing before the Senate committee on education, the Wood- I ruff bill granting an increase In pay to the school teachers of the State, was commended on all sides, though there was some criticism of minor provisions. All of the speakers present de clared themselves unqualifiedly in favor of teachers' increases, but dif fered to some extent upon how the increases should be effected. Some of the counties through their rep resentatives claimed themselves too poor to grant increases, but it was shown that in some instances their taxation valuation was only forty per cent, of the property value. Wil liam Disk, secretary of the Phila delphia Board of Education, spoke against some of the provisions of the bill, although declaring himself in favor of the majority of its sec tions. Gifford Pinchot, chairman of the conservation committee of the State Grange, appeared before the Senate judiciary sper'al committee yester day on the Goodnough bill, which would reorganize the State Forestry Department. The bill provides for the appointment as commissioner of forestry of a trained forester and provides for systematic method of fire-fighting. Mr. Pinchot declared that forest fires have laid waste in Pennsylvania an area greater than that of the State of New Jersey. "One-sixth of the State is of no benefit to the people," said Mr. Pinchot. "and the situation is grow ing worse instead of better." The bill recently passed the House with out a dissenting vote, having it is declared, the support of the State Grange, the Pennsylvania Federa tion of Labor and the State Cham ber of Commerce. Gets Four Months For Attempting to Blackmail Hollweg Berlin, June 11. — The locksmith apprentice Grothe. who attempted to blackmail Dr. Bethmann-Hollweg, the former chancellor, by represent ing that he was the object of a con spiracy, was sentenced at Kiel to four months imprisonment for forg ery. Grothe was arrested while try ing to collect more money from the one-time chancellor. HXmUBBTTRG TEUSGRjKPH CHARTER BILL NEAR GOVERNOR House Passes Much Debated Measure After a Speech by John R. K. Scott Only two votes were cast against the Philadelphia charter bill when it came up for final passage in the House of Representatives last night, and it was sent to the Senate for concurrence in the amendments made Monday night by a vote of 196 to 2. The negative votes were cast by Messrs. Marcus. Allegheny, ami Dilsheimer, Philadelphia. The final scenes in the much discussed measure occurred in a crowded house, State officials and mejnbers of the Philadelphia char ter revision committee and other in terested persons. The announce ment of the vote was received with applause from floor and gallery. Mr. Ramsey, Delaware, called up the hill and Mr. Marcus at once raised the point of order that the bill was special and local legisla tion and had not been advertised as required by the constitution. Speaker Spangler overruled the Pittsburgh member and John R. K. Scott, Philadelphia, spoke for the bill. Mr. Scott said the bill as it stood met with approval of members who are supporting the Governor. It creates a council of twenty-one members who will be managers and he said Philadelphia can never go backward under it. The bill, said Mr. Scott, had been "cleansed of pretense and subter fuge" which had been "ripped out by an honest Governor and an hon est and intelligent Attorney Gen eral." He reviewed the clauses which had been objected to and re moved, and paid hie respects to what he termed "lily-white reform ers." and the Philadelphia mu unicipal court which he styled "a catch basin" of politicians and had been put on the Philadelphia city government at a huge annual- cost. The bill, he said, would be a monu ment to Governor Sproul and Attor ney General Schaffer, and was an honest piece of legislation through their efforts. He closed by pledging support to legislation bearing the administration stamp. LIQUOR FIGHTS WILL CONTINUE Developments of Yesterday Will Have Far Reach- ' ing Effect "When the brewing forces cut loose their political anchors in their successful efforts to defeat the Vickerman and Pox prohibition en forcement bills they did two things, both of which will develop to-day and the twin developments are these: "Senator Plymouth W. Snyder, of Blair county, will introduce a bill in the Senate which comprises the big features of both the Vickerman and Fox measures." "A campaign has been born which will keep alive the anti-liquor agita tion in Pennsylvania for at least two more years and will enter into the important spring primary in Penn sylvania next year when members of the House of Representatives and half the State Senators are nomi nated. This has been made neces sary, Representative John W. Vick erman declares, because of the un necessary activity of the brewing interests at a time that nothing is to be gained because the nation is going dry and the Federal authori ses will see to it that prohibition is enforced." "The significance of these devel opments make it necessary for a discussion of the subject and just v hen it was thought and hoped that the liquor question had been ban ished from the Pennsylvania Gen eral Assembly for years to come, at least from the classification of ma jor legislation, the brewing interests have again revived the agitation and the "drys" are going to carry the matter of State enforcement into the political campaigns of the future until Pennsylvania has voted to en force the prohibition amendment to the national constitution. "To accomplish their ends the brewers played what in normal times would be considered clever politics. They made advantageous deals form their own standpoint, but the victory has only resulted in the asking of questions to the general trend of what they have gained by their victory. After July 1 and positively after January 16. next, they are out of business and have brought about the paradoxical condition of themselves being out of business and inferentially opposing the mandate of Congress and at the same time making the drys see red and being forced to fight them again and in reality strike a foe who is down. T.iquor has fought out all the angles of prohibition and now has one more stand to make in Pennsylvania—the efTort to legalize the sale of two and three-fourth per cent, beer as a nonintoxicant. That is another effort which is con sidered futile, as Congress will de termine that matter." f \ The Quaint Egyptian Lines , of this monumental design are striking, and there is an air of solidity and permanence about it which well expresses the im mortality of the soul that has passed. Other expressive designs which we will submit for your approval include the classical, the Renaissance, etc. Cemetery Lettering I. B. Diekinson Grnnltr, Marble, Tile und Broase 50(1-13 N.

GERMAN PLANS FOR NEW ARMY Military Experts Publish Sug gestions in the Various Magazines With the American Army of Oc cupation, June 11.—German mili tary experts are publishing in Ger man periodicals various suggestions for the organization of a new Ger man army. One plan is proposed by Major General von Francois who com manded a corps in the Argonne op posite the United States Army last fall. His ideas have been repub lished in numerous German news papers and magazines. He proposes that 500.000 men should be drafted to service under arms each year, one-half on April 1 and the other 250,000 on October 1. Every man capable of perform ing manual labor would be subject to military duty for one year be- Rinning at his twentieth year. The 500,000 annually drafted would be used to defend the coun try from attack and preserve order in the interior, he urges. All others capable of working would he draft ed also on April 1 or October 1, but after receiving a short course in military training, they would he Placed in labor battalions to be employed In socialized branches of industry whioh have been (taken over by the government. These men would thus be engaged in produc tive. activity which would pay for I^ el - r . support and contribute to that of the armed forces. | T J se _ McNeil's Cold Tablets. Adv.

' * / ' 11 ..I i Says He Beats Wife to Show His Love Now York, June 11.—James "Walk, er, Is an extremely affectionate hus band. He loves his wife so much that sometimes he just naturally boils over with it, and then he feels that he has to beat her up in order to make himself feel human again. He was up before Magistrate Frothingham in the West Side Court yesterday on a charge of doing that, His wife told tlje magistrate that they were married two years ago, and that since then it had been just one beating after another. "He is now out on parole for beat ing me," she said, "and he recently served a sixty-day sentence in the workhouse for doing the same thing." And just then Walker, who was on the witness stand, broke out with: "Judge, my God, I love her! My love boils over and it is my only relief! She goes to her sister and stays with her, but oh, my God, judge, how 1 love her!" Stretching his arms dramatically toward his wife, he shouted: "Margaret, you know I love yoti! That's why I beat you up!" His wife looked as If she doubted it and Magistrate Frothingham re marked: * "You must idolize her. How tender your love must be! Your wife's appearance certainly shows it. A man who would do what you have done does rrot deserve a place in this city. If you call that love you must be crazy.*' Patrolman Frank Curley, of the West Forty-seventh street station, testified that he had arrested Walker Sunday at noon, after he had beaten his wife in front of her home. Mag istrate Frothingham held Walker in SSOO bail for special sessions. J
