ney General William I. Schafter has
gone to Lake Placid for his vacation. |
Want New laws—Demands for I
copies of the new State laws are I
I among the greatest over experienced '
| at the office of the Secretary of State j
i and numerous requests are being;
I made from all sections of Pennsyl- I
j vania. In many cases there appears !
to be great interest in changes in j
I the school and borough codes, while 1
I inquiries by the dozen nre being ;
t made about the changes of election j
laws.
First Arm Tags The first arm I
j tags for issuance to applicants for i
I hunters' licenses have been shipped j
Ito the smaller counties. The tags j
' this year are a light green in color. I
Persons hunting blackbirds August !
j 1 must have the licenses or receipts
| showing payment of the license fee.
Should Fix Terms—The Public
Service Commission to-day dismissed
the complaint of the Phoenixville,
Valley Forge and Strafford Electric
Railway Company, against the Phila- !
dclphia Suburban Gas and Electric |
Company, but directed the latter j
company to "amend its rate
schedules for the service complained |
of so that they shall contain rules j
for the determination of "demand" .
that will be in harmony with the !
rest of its rates and shall recognize :
variations in demand in reduced or j
increased minimum or demand j
charges." The amend schedules are j
to be submitted to the Commission j
| within thirty days.
i The complaint to increased rates j
I has been before the Commission in :
' one form or another since October, j
j 1917, and in its decision the Com- !
I mission says that the testimony in- j
| dlcatcs that the trolley company ,
| operates what it calls "a summer !
I line." The Commission says that i
' the operating costs for two years j
j have been analyzed and the rates J
I complained of, including the mini- '
I mum requirements are not excessive.
Arguments Heard—Argument was
1 heard by the Public Service Com
j mission yesterday on a proposition '
| submitted by the Pennsylvania Gas !
j Company for a scale of charges per !
| 5,000 feet units in the city of Erie j
! as a measure of conserving the sup- |
' ply of natural gas. The contention
; was raised by the city authorities
'that tho proposed arrangement was
j in effect a schedule of rates and de
i signed to restrict use of gas to
I purely domestic consumers. The ar
gument was part of prolonged liti- i
' gation between the city and the com
[ pany over thu gas rates. No action j
j was taken. The Commission also I
; heard tho objection of the city of
j New Castle to the Mahoning and ,
Shenango Railway and Light Com- j
j pany putting a seven-cent fare into !
1 effect without thirty days' notice, j
The company recently got the right ,
j to charge a six-cent fare and now !
proposes to go to seven. The city i
■ desires to contest the advance.
Petition Filed Judge S. L.
Shull, of the Monroe-Pike district, j
to-day liled liis petition to be a can
didate for nomination for the full j
term. Judge Shull was appointed
to till a vacancy on the bench in j
that district.
Big Bid Opening Highway j
Commissioner Sadler to-day opened I
bids for construction of ninety-seven \
miles of State highway on State j
routes and most ot' the day will be i
taken up in tabulating the figures. |
A number of big contracting firms j
bid. This is the second largest let- j
ting of State road work, a previous I
letting having included 103 miles, j
! Late this month bids for more than
75 miles will be opened.
Public Service Cases The j
Public Service Commission to-day j
took under consideration the appli- j
: cation of the Bell Telephone Co.,
to file the present rates as its sched- j
ule to be effective when the wires '
are returned to the companies by |
• the government. The Commission |
will probably make an order to-
I night allowing the rates to be filed
BABRISBURO TELEGRAPH
subject to a hearing. The question
| whether a natural gas company can
restrict service to domestic con
sumers and put into effect a scale
of prices based upon amount used
with increases as the amount ex
pands will also be considered in
| the case of the City of Erie against
the Pennsylvania Gas Company.
Myers In Philadelphia Deputy
! Attorney General B. J. Myers is in
j Philadelphia to-day in connection
with the North Penn bank case
! which is engaging attention of a
i number of the officials.
I .Mr. McDovitt Due Harry S.
' McDevitt, secretary to the governor,
| who has been ill, is expected here
! to-day.
Ask Farmers to
Give Acreage Data
i The State Department of Agricul
! ture is mailing to farmers ques
j tionnaires for the co-operative acre-
I age survey being arranged by the
! National and State authorities. The
| farmers of Pennsylvania have been
I asked to furnish information on in
-1 dividual acreage of their principal
corps for 1918 and 1919 as a basis
j for making crop estimates.
The department in a notice urges
j the farmers to co-operate in com
pilation of the information because
: when it is furnished accurate infor
' mntion on crops is possible. "With
j out fuch reports, speculators inter-
I ested in raising or lowering prices
jof farm products would issue so
many conflicting and misleading re
ports that it would be impossible for
anyone, without great expense, to
form an accurate estimate," says the
notice.
.Guard Division
Is Now Assured
I Adjutant General Frank D. Beary,
! who returned from Philadelphia to
j day, confirmed the statement of
Major General W. G. Price, Jr..
I commanding the new National Guard
i that a full division would be formed.
I In a statement issued at Philadel
| phia. General t'rice said:
"TTie War Department has author
ized the organization in Pennsyl
| vania of the following units in con
' nection with the reorganization of
ithe National Guard: Four regiments
lof infantry, one regiment of artil
i lery and one squadron of cavalry.
I The reason the War Department has
| not authorized a larger force is that
; it has funds sufficient only to meet
j the expenses of the authorized units
available between now and June 30,
11920.
"The State military authorities,
| however, feel that there is just as
! much need for a full division of
| the National Guard in Pennsylvania
| now as when the National Guard was
i inducted into the Federal Service at
! the commencement of the war with
I Germany. Consequently, the State
| military authorities will go ahead
organizing a full division."
There is a probability, it is said,
that the Fourth Regiment of In
fantry, N. G. P.. will be organized
as a machine gun battalion in which
capacity it served during the war
with Germany.
Thousands Attended
Big Plowing Match
Portage Da Prairie. Man.—Several
thousand people from all parts of
Manitoba attended the annual Port
age Plains plowing match, the big
gest event of its kind in Canada.
The roads were lined with automo
biles. Bluffs overlooking the field
were crowded with men and women.
No championship baseball game or
neck-and-neck, homestretch duel be
tween thoroughbreds ever was
watched with more tense interest
than these farmers plowing. The
crowd brought its lunches along t
miss none of the thrills. It's cheer
ing at times could be heard for miles.
| The contest was for the Manitoba
; championship. It was held on
i Thomas Wishart's farm two miles
| north of here oh the Canadian Na
! tional Railway. If city people think
; the olf-fashioned walking plow is
; obsolete, they have another think
i coming. As one of the agricultural
| highbrows present said, "Its work is
! the highest expression of the plow
! man's art." There were twenty-four
entries and the battle royal proved
of breathless interest to the spec
j tators.
j Two years ago J. Sutherland, of
i Brandon, took the championship
! away from Portage Plains. Last
! year David Little won it back. With
Sutherland and Little among'the
| entries this year, the contest took
jon an added sporting zest. Suther
land cut no figure but Little found in
John Brown, also of Portage
Plains, a plowman worthy of his
steel. The two men ran nose-and
nose, as it were, from the start to
the end of the last furrow, and Lit
tle had all he could do to win by an
eyelash. He scored 80 points
j against Brown's 85. They were even
on ends, depth and width of furrow,
and the covering of weeds and
stubble. Little's one-point victor)
was achieved on straightness.
George McVicar won from Charles
Wishart with 79 points against 78 in
the open class for fourteen-inch
gangs. Allen Wishart won first foi
boys under eighteen. There was a
ladies' plowing contest down on th<
program but no entries.
There were thirty entries in th
tractor contest. A. M. Brownridgt
with a score of 86 repeated his vic
tory of last year with a three-fur
row engine gang. Robert Smith was
second with 85. Clarence Yuill
fourteen years old, won in the clas:
for boy tractor drivers.
"I don't understand how city folk:
can get ail worked up over baseball
horse races, golf, tennis and th<
like," said John A. Beam. "For rea
sport, give me a plowing match."

RECONSTRUCTION !
IN ENGLAND
Comes Under the Heads of
Official and Un
official
I.ondon, July 29.—The word "re
volution" which foreign observers
sometimes apply to the present tran
sitional stage of British industrial
and political life is not popular here.
Revolution savors of bayonets and
bloodshed, and the British people do
not forsee nor predict that. Recon
struction is the current term even
though general result of what is be
ing done and agitated for may, in the
opinion of other people, amount to
an industrial revolution.
A brief summary of the changes
under way should show that recon
struction in Great Britain comes
roughly under two heads, the official
and the unofficial. The principal pro
jects which the Government Is
grappling with are these:
Projects Under Way
Nationalization of the two great
basic industries, coal mining and the
railways.
Government support for all persons
out of work through war conditions.
Schemes for Government house
building for workers, and land for
the demobilized soldiers.
A colossal system of electric power
plants for manufacturing.
Increased pay for everybody in the
Government service, which has al
ready been granted to the Navy and
Army, with further increases for
postal and telegraph workers and the
police. School teachers and other
classes of public servants also are
demanding increases.
Unofficial
The unofficial reconstruction calls
for higher wages and shorter work
ing hours for all in the organized
industies. These are being obtained
partly by amicable negotiations be
tween employers and workmen, but
also largely through strikes and
threats of strikes, of which the idle
ness of half a million from the cot
ton mills is an instance.
Proceeding simultaneously with
these movements and sometimes com
plicated with them are political agita
tions which now and then reach the
point of crises. The principal poli,
tical issues are: Nationalization of
mines, railways and other essen'.' -.1
industries; abandonment of the old
British free trade system for protec
tion. (involving the question open to
endless dlsusslon whether British
commercial prosperity nas been be
cause of free trade or handicapped
by it), the position of Ireland whose
present condition has come to be
recognized as a millstone on the neck
of the empire, and the proposal to
clear off the war debt by a levy on
capital.

To Extend Civil
Service to Soldiers
New York, July 29.—1n order to j
i extend civil service preference to
honorably discharged soldiers, sailors
1 and marines to federal positions
throughout the entire country, the
legislative committee of the Amerl
, can Legion will urge amendment of
the Van Dyck bill which gives such
, preference in Washington D. C. only.
The National Executive Committee
, of the Legion authorizes former Con
, gressman Thomas W. Miller and for
mer Senator Luke Rea, joint chair
, men of the legislative committee at
Washington, to take such action as
, will carry out the resolutions of the
I St. Louis meeting of the Legion when
. the delegates declared that simple
, patriotism requires that ex-soldiers,
sailors and marines be given prefer
ence whenever additional men are to
t be employed In any private or public
. enterprise.

s | "The man had been blown up,
i said Lieutenant Colonel Hurst, "but

s permanent damage. His case, how
- (ever, was regarded as hopeless by
1; army physicians. So certain were
1 they that he would be blind for life
- that he was granted a full pension,
t "Several medical boards before
1 which the man was examined failed

I ) realized that there was no organic

ACTING ON SUGGESTION,
MAN JUMPS TO DEATH
Anderson, Ind.—lra G ; Williams,
aged 40, left the store where he was
employed and on reaching home
complained of not feeling well. His
wife suggested that he remain at
home for the evening, but he said
he wished to attend a meeting of
the lted Men. Soon alter he ar
rived at the lodge hall he seemed
i. mentally disturbed and a man seated
j tjearby jocularly inquired if he eon
; tern plated jumping from the window.
Almost immediately Williams went
to another corner of the lodge hall,
raised a window, crawled over the
ledge a short distance and suspend
ed himself from the sill about three
seconds. Persons on the opposite
i side of the street thought the man
• was preparing to demonstrate a wall
scaling act, for they said the sup-
I ported himself with one hand for a
moment, ehnnged hands and looked
down at the startled spectators, but
said nothing. Finally he dropped to
the Tenth street pavement. His
neck was broken and his skull was
fractured.
