and had it sent to the committee of
which he Is chairman, which report
ed it out. Mr. Scott held that the
jud'ciary committee's action stood,
but was overruled. He then tried to
report out the first bill with a nega
tive iccommendation, but Mr. Hess
objected. Mr. Scott next held that

the calendar, but was again over
ruled. The bill was then defended
by Mr. Hess as an "anti-ambulance
chaser," but the House voted It

Spangler Fights
McCall's Ferry Dam
After a heated hearing before the
Senate Game and Fish Committee
to-night. Speaker Spangler's bill re
quiring the fish commissioner within
one year to certify whether the
Pennsylvania Water and Power Com
pany at McCall's Ferry is maintain
ing an adequate flshway in the Sus
quehanna river and providing that
unless such certificate is filed within
thirteen months the Attorney Gen
eral is directed to 'lnstitute legal
proceedings, was favorably reported
to the Senate.
Bernard J. Myers, deputy attorney
general, appeared at the hearing and
told the committee that the bill Is
unconstitutional because it is special
legislaton and had not been adver
tised and because the Legislature
connot dictate the duties of the At
torney General.
Speaker Spangler, in urging his bill
before the committee, said that he
was amazed that the Attorney Gen
eral should send one of his deputies
to a committee where legislation is
pending and try to dictate to it what
it should do. Turning to Mr. Myers,
Speaker Spangler declared that the
"Attorney General is the servant of
the people and not the master of
the Commonwealth."
Mr. Spangler also declared that
the State Fish Commissioner in the
present case Is half hearted In see
ing whether the law is being vio
lated. The fish commissioner, he
said, has failed to do his duty to the
people of the Commonwealth and
has allowed the matter to lapse.
Mr. Spangler charged that the two
fishways at McCall's Ferry dam are
not adequate, that they are fizzles
and mere pretenses and that the fail
ure of the company to maintain ade
quate fishways was in effect the tak
ing of the property of the people
without due process of law because
the Susquehanna river belonged to
the people of the State.
John E. Malone, of Lancaster,
counsel for the Pennsylvania Water
and Power Company, told the com
mittee that the fishways now there
had been approved by the proper
authorities and that they are the best
that can be had at the present time.
The company, he said, was willing
to do anything that would result in
better fishways if such were possible.

ANTI-SEDITION
HAS HOT FIGHT
Measure Lacks Three Votes
Needed to Pass the
House
The administration anti-sedition
bill was defeated In the House of
Representatives to-day by a vote of
101 to 84 late yesterday. It re
quired 104 votes to pass.
The bill was presented by Mr.
Flynn. Elk., and has been a storm
center in the House. It was the sub
ject of one of the biggest hearings
held this session and has been op
posed by organized labor and grang
ers' organisations. The vote was
marked by several challenges.
Mr. Eiynn opened the debate by
saying the bill was designed to meet
the "unusual activities of an ele
ment that has invaded Pennsylva
nia" and which has become a men
ace. He declared that objection
able features had been eliminated
and that the bill was "an honest
effort to regulate a very serious
condition."
Mr. Fowler, Lackawanna saying
this was the anniversary of the Bat-
Ue of Bunker Hill, called on his
hearers to make a new drive for
liberty. He styled the bill "a strike
at labor organizations in this State,"
and said that authorities should use
intelligence instead of such weap
ons as the bill. Labor organizations
are awake to the dangers of Bolshe
vism and will meet it. The way to
help them, he said, is to pass com
pensation, child labor and pension
laws.
After reading opinions on the bill
he said men who favor it are vot
ing against the labor movement,
which will go on and on In spite of
such legislation. He predicted a
bigger labor legislative delegation
next session and presented a resolu
tion from Pittsburgh city council
against the bill.
Mr. Lanius. York, said he was not
sure the bill was needed to catch the

Careless Shampooing
Spoils the Hair
Soap should t>e used very carefully,
if you want to keep your hair look

pared shampoos contain too much
alkali. This dries the scalp, makes
the hair brittle, and ruins It.
The best thing for steady use Is
Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo
(which is pure and greaseless), and
is better than anything else you can
use.
One or two tablespoons will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Sim
ply moisten the hair with water and
rub it in. It makes an abundance
of rich creamy lather, which rinses
and easily removing every particle
of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive
