pany, also objected to a provision
ot the bill which does not deduct
amounts for materials , suppltOJ.
tools and other things furnished to
miners In computing wages received.
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. To place in clie
bi'l the suggested amendment, ho
said, would work the grossest in

A million gallons of local treat

of the disease from the blood, and
until they are eliminated your skin
will never be free from the itching

If you want relief that is perma

goes right to the seat of the trouble

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.

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."

He proposes that 500.000 men

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.
