6 NEWS OF THE LEGISLATURE RAMSEY BILL IS BEFORE SENATE Governor Reiterates His Op position to thp Measure in Letter to Eyre Following an executive session of the Law and Order Committee of the Senate last night, the Ramsey bill, which establishes two and three fourths per cent, alcoholic content as a definition of intoxicating li quors, was re-reported to the Senate and will be considered to-day on third reading. The committee considered both the Ramsey measure and the Sny der enforcement bill, which pro vides for a Commissioner of Prohi bition and eight deputies to enforce whatever rulings may be made reg ulating the sale, use and possession of intoxicating liquors. The Snyder bill was postponed. During the Fneeting of the com mittee Senator Eyre, of Chester county, presented a letter written hv Governor William C. Sprout, in which the Governor said that he re garded the Ramsey measure "an undesirable preposition, politically and legally." The letter of Governor Sproul to Senator Eyre was as follows: "In reference to your inquiry as Does Your Head Ache?

"While I regret that no other en forcement legislation has been passed. I am convinced that this bill would not in any way meet the requirements and that it would be entirely futile, in that it would not accomplish any purpose in opposi tion to the Federal leg.slation winch seems certain of enactment. If we should pass this and it should be appioved, it would not avail OgaillSt the Federal legislation and would not accomplish any purpose tor which it Is intended. In the absence of Federal legislation or in case that the President or Congress shoulc l rescind the present war pro hibition regulations, the present laws in Pennsylvania would be in force until the Federal prohibition amendment goes into effect next January. If the war-time regula tions are not rescinded, this pro posed enactment of our Legislature would not be effective in opposition to the Federal law, whatever it may be. "For these reasons I do not see that there is any necessity for the passage of this bill and, in fact, re gard it as an undesirable proposi tion politically and legally.."' TEACHERS'BILL HITS NEW ROCKS Amendments Made in the Sen ate Will Cause Further Dis cussion and Delay to Bill The Woodruff teachers' salary in crease measure struck the rocks in the Senate last night when Senator Schantx, of Lehigh, succeeded in mak ing amendments in the measure which school officials and teachers assert will add an additional $2,000,000 to the share to be paid by the State each two years and will practically make the measure unable for the Governor to ap prove on account of lack of finances. Senator Schantx got his amendments into the bill without opposition, but when the senators found what had been done they gathered around the desk of Senator Weaver, of Westmoreland, and discussed the action and what the amendments would do. Senator Barr, of Allegheny, moved to reconsider the vote by which the amendments were in serted and it carried and then Senator Schantx explained to the Senate that the amendments had been asked by the sponsor of the measure, Mr. Woodruff, and had been shown and approved by the Attorney General. He said that the bill in its present form was an im position to the rural districts. He asked the senators to insert the amendments as they clarified the method of payment of the increases in salaries and put the districts on a fifty-fifty basis with the State. By a vote of 19 to 12 the Senate in eerted the amendments ofTered by Senator Schantx. These amendments provided that in districts of the sec ond, third and fourth class in addi tion to the State paying a fixed por tion of the increases for each classifi cation It be committed to also pay in addition one-half of all the Increases In the district. There will be a conference between the school heads, teachers and Sena tors Schantx and Weaver to-day, but It is likely that the bill will be passed by the Senate in its present form and sent to a conference committee to be finally adjusted.

EtUUUSBtTRC t£is& TEEEOratPH SEDITION BILL THROUGH HOUSE Passed Early This Morning After Noisy Three-Hour Debate The Administration antisedition bill, defeated last week, was recon sidered by the House and passed, 107 to 2, early this morning, after over three hours of debate and par liamentary battling. Much confu sion and attempts to filibuster marked the consideration of the bill, which was hard fought by the labor element. Speaker Spangler's rulings were attacked and there were nu merous points of order. The Sen ate remained in session to receive the bill and passed it the first time. The whole proceeding was the liveliest of this vear and caused much fuss. Mr. Finney, Crawford, seconded by Mr. Bigler, Mercer, moved reconsideration and Mr. Fow ler, Lackawanna, at once opened the attack on the bill, saying that mem bers should be let alone by lobby ists. Members, said he, had told him there was "awful pressure" De ing brought to bear on them. \ "Don't blame the Governor be cause you haven't the courage of your own convictions," said he. "I don't believe the Governor has brought pressure on any member. Don't believe every lobbyist in tho back of this hall." The Lackawanna member said there were lobbyists here working overtime and "blaming It all on the poor Governor." The American Federation of Labor did more to end the war than all the lobbyists, said he, and, if the Federation had not taken a stand against the Bol sheviks, corporation and otherwise, In this State, the war would not be over yet. After reading the constitutional provision for free speech, he said there was ample law to reach really dangerous men. Ready to Fight Bolshevism is made by oppres sion and the State should pass laws for relief of workingmen, he assert ed. If the Governor has to fight Bolshcviss, he will find organised labor standing shoulder to shoulder with him. Mr. Alexander, Delaware, said la bor had misconstrued the bill and that It would protect labor as well as capital. Overthrow of govern ment by force, he contended, should be abhorrent to everyone. After reading provisions of the bill, he asked if they were not proper and right and such as law-abiding men could support. People are imagin ing things in the bill which are not there, said he. Mr. Lanius, York, declared there were enough laws to cover all dis turbances now and wanted to know what "hatred and contempt" meant. Mr. Haines, Bucks, protested as a member of the Grange against the statement that the Grange opposed the bill. In his county, he said, no action against the bill had been taken by Granges. Labor Man Speaks Mr. Mclntyre, Fayette, asked Mr. Alexander why the bill was needed and was Informed that there were not laws adequately punishing ter rorists. The Fayette member said the American Federation of Labor had protested against the measure, but that "orders were out to pass this bill." Mr. Flynn, Elk, said that, while men said laws existed to reach se ditionists, none had been quoted. "There is no law to reach the in citer to violence. About all that can be charged against such men is 'disorderly conduct.' " Mr. Phillips, Clearfield, contended that courts might put different con struction on various clauses and abridge free speech. He held the bill to be unconstitutional and said the official family was working for the bill. Mr. Flynn moved for a vote and the House adopted the motion, 98 to 87. The voting on the motion to reconsider began. Racket in the Hoose The motion to reconsider the de feat of the bill was declared car ried, 104 to 87, and Mr. Phillips, Clearfield, at once made the point of order that the bill was unconsti tutional because It Infringed on freedom of the press. The Chair overruled him. Mr. Helt, Northum berland. then demanded to speak, but the Speaker ruled that the only thing in order was a rollcall. A dozen members took the floor and considerable confusion resulted. Three members tried to appeal, but the Speaker refused to recognize them. 'Finally, Mr. Helt tried an appeal from the ruling on the Phil lips point. He then began a speech, but was stopped. Speaker Spangler ordered a rollcall. but an attempt to call it was drowned by shouts of "No!" Mr. Sarig, Berks, then appealed from the decision of the Chair on the Phillips point, but Mr. Mr. Fowler and Mr. Phillips called for the "hour of the day." The Speaker ordered Mr. Lannius to sit down and told Mr. Sarig to keep his seat until recognized. By this time the members were either laughing, shouting to Sarig to keep on, making points of order and de manding the floor. Mr. Ramsey, Delaware, then rose to a question of privilege, but Mr. Sarig resumed his effort to appeal and was again ordered to sit down. Mr. Ramsey called on members to be men and discuss the bill in an orderly manner, but was Interrupt ed by Mr. Phillips with a point of order. He subsided and Mr. Ramsey asked whether the House could not talk over the bill and vote In an hour. Mr. Flynn suggested that Mr. Helt be recognized to speak. The Northumberland man delivered an address against the bill, reviewing the stand of labor. Mr. Woner, Butler, demanded to know where the bill took away rights of American citizenship. Mr. Helt read some clauses, but Mr. Woner said that the words quoted had been stricken out. "This bill should be called the antlanarcby bill," said Mr. Woner In commenting on Mr. Helt's speech. He then asked Mr. Phillips some questions and Mr. Mclntyre inter posed that he was making a speech. The House finally got tired and be gan to cheer the Butler member, who clorfed by saying that he stood on the bill on conviction. "This bill cannot hurt any right thinking citizen." declared Mr. North, Chester, who deprecated the scenes attending the discuaslon of the bill, Mr, Brendle, Berks' assailed tha bill and so much noise was made by members that Speaker Bpangler had to ask for order, Mr, Fowler said the statement he had made about lobbying on the floor was correct. "I asked the sec retary of the Governor If he was lobbying for the bill and he said he was. It's not right," said hs, Xhs roll was called In more et- DEMOCRATS IN NEW WRANGLE Get Beaten in an Effort to Up set the Bill to Change Coal Field Poor Board Without a rollcall the Senate lost night reconsidered the vote by which the Dawson bill giving the Auditor General the authority to appoint the mercantile appraisers in all counties outside of Philadelphia and Allegheny, was defeated last Wednesday night and passed the measure finally by a vote of 34 to 6. This measure is one in which Auditor General Snyder is particu larly interested as it is through a real collection of the mercantile tax that the State revenues are expected to be increased to take care of the $6,000,000 which is to be devoted to the increase in teachers' salaries during the next two years. The Sen ate also passed finally the measure giving the Auditor General the pow er to appoint the clerks assisting in the collection of inheritance taxes in all counties except Philadelphia. When the Zanders measure to pro vide for the election of poor direc tors in the middle coal field consist ing of Carbon county was on final passage Senator Leiby attacked it, declaring it was a measure to "rip" out a board of five poor directors who were appointed by a Democrat ic judge. He said that for some years the poor directors were appointed by the court but that since the mi nority party forces had elected a judge, that a change in the system was desired. Attorney General Pal mer had a hand in the attack, it was said by Republicans. Asked by Senator Craig, of Beaver, whether it was not the principle of the Democratic party to allow the people to rule in their home districts in the selection of public officials, the Senator from Perry replied that it was, but that the legislation had been enacted by a Republican Sen ate and he asked them "to take their own medicine." The measure passed by a vote of 37 to 6, five Democratic Senators and Senator Salus, of Phil adelphia, being recorded against it. The Bureau of Markets reorganiza tion measure which has been on the calendar for some time and which has been amended to permit the bureau in co-operation with the State Bureau of Standards to adopt weights, measures and containers for farm products was passed finally. The bill also permits the Bureau of Markets of the Department of Agri culture to set standards for farm products and regulating the market ing. The Ramsey measure fixing the salary of the chief and the deputy chief of the Department of Mines, was passed finally. The Rtnn measure to provide for the abolition of grade crossings was sent to the Judiciary special com mittee when it was reached on the second reading calendar. RURAL CARRIER EXAMINATION The United States Civil Service Commission has announced an ex amination for Dauphin county to to be held on July 26 at Harrisburg and Millersburg to fill the position of rural carrier at Harrisburg and vacancies that may later occur on rural routes from other poet offices. lence than prevailed all night. Mr. Bigler, who seconded the reconsid eration motion, voted In the nega tive. The galleries and lobbies, which were filled with people, fol lowed each vote closely. Verification of the roll was de manded by Mr. Fowler, who also objected again to presence of the Governor's secretary in the House. Messrs. Ulsh and Miller voted for the bill as did the Cumberland members. Messrs. Bechtold and Mil lar voted "no." York was divided but Lancaster's men voted "aye." RAN DOWN FROM 155 TO 110 LBS; NOW BUILDING UP Charles Fitzpatrick of Plymouth Tells Why People Are So En thusiastic About Natonex "It is so easy to understand why so many people are so enthusiastic, once they have taken Natonex. I ran down from 155 lbs. to 110 lbs. Now I am getting my weight and strength right back," said Charles Fitzpatrick, of No. 140 East Main street, Plymouth, Pa. "I can understand why people who have trfken Natonex and bene fitted as I did are glad to endorse It. It surely helped me wonder fully in every way. "I have been under the weather for years. My stomach was in bad shape. I had no craving for food, and what little I did eat didn't' nourish me; it caused distress and pain. All my organs seemed to be in sympathy with my stomach, and they were not any of them active or regular. Because of my condition I got nervous, and If I didn't control myr self X would be peevish and Irritable and even lay awake through the night. "I sometimes think iny bad con dition started from a small piece of glass that'got into my hand through the finger nail. Sometime after ward I began "to be troubled with pain and weakness In my arms and legs and a nervous feeling in my head. The piece of glass has mani fested Itself under my skin after all these years, and I am now go ing to have it taken out, as my blood Is in good condition, thanks to Natonex. I could not have it done before, with my blood in the condition it was. "Now I have a good appetite and no pains after eating. I sleep rest fully and I am feeling stronger all over. People remark on my good clear color.- I am only too glad-of the opportunity to put suffering people on the right track to health."

The vote to reconsider was 124. The bill passed 123 to 65. The motion to reconsider the bill was made by Mr. Mallery, Venango, who said the bill was now in satis factory shape to him. He had ap proved It last week. John R. K. Scott. Philadelphia, said the bill was to Bhift competition and that if it passed farmers would get bad service and big companies would gobble up little ones and rates would go up, subscribers pay ing more for bad mannered operators nnd poor service. Mr. Hess. Lancaster, denied it would stifle competition because the Public Service Commission would have power over rates and could authorize new companies if any one wanted to organ ize them. The bill, he said, would stop "ruinous competition" and do away with necessity for having two telephones In offices and residences with duplicate service. Mr. Scott rejoined that it was a scheme to sell out the people and was backed by "the strong est lobby here this session." He de clared it a move to get dividends on watered stock. Mr. Hess said the Pub lic Service Commission had outhorlty and the House should either have con fidence In the commission or abolish it. There are 250 telephone companies In the State, said he, and some are on the verge of bankruptcy. Mr. Scott retorted with some criti cism of Public Service Comm loners in the past and said mergers of water Thin Men and Women Can Put on Flesh increase strength, endurance, vitality and greatly improve their health by building up their nerves and enrich ing their blood. Unquestionably one of the best things for this purpose is the great French discovery known among our druggists as Blood Iron Phosphate. People who have tried It say that one five-grain tablet taken with each meal quickly restores de pleted nervous energy, enriches the blood, increases strength, vitality and endurance, and those who are too thin usually put on pounds of solid stay-there flesh in a short time. In asmuch as Geo. A. Gorges and all oth er druggists are authorized to sell Blood-Iron Phosphate under a guar antee of satisfaction or money back, every thin, weak, nervous or anemic man or woman should give it a trial without delay.
