DIFFERENTIAL IS RESTORED Insurance Commissioner Don aldson Rescinds Action at Request of Governor Insurance Commissioner Thomas B. Donaldson, last evening an nounced that he had rescinded his order of September 4, abolishing the ten per cent, differential in favor of the State Workmen's In surance Fund, stating that he had done so at the request of the Gov ernor and "solely for that reason." The order placed the Fund on the same par as all other compensation insurance writers on January 1. Mr. Donaldson's action was taken under a law passed at the recent session of the Legislature and did not find favor with the members of the State Insurance Board who brought the matter to the attention of the Governor, who declared that he did not think it opportune.

MEMBER FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM SATURDAY KVIiNING, ant to the communication from the Governor and his request and solely for thit reason the- Insurance De partment has notified the Pennsyl vania Compensation Rating and In spection Bureau that the State Fund is to be allowed a reduction of ten per cent, from uniform rates for 1920. The now compensation rates for Pennsylvania will be announced within ten days." The Insurance Commissioner de clined to discuss the subject any fur ther and the Governor had left the city before the action was an nounced.' The Governor's letter was as fol lows: Commissioner Donaldson in a statement says: "In view of the protests made to me by the members of the State Workmen's Insurance Board and of the representations made by the manager of the State Insurance j Fund", 1 believe it would be unwise I to change the present status of the j State Fund in its rate relation with : the other insurance companies doing ' business in the State. ! "The State Fund is progressing in ja very satisfactory way, and it has j been of great service, and until such time as the State has been reim [bursed for the funds advanced to the State insurance organization, I do not believe we Should make any I change or do anything which would tend to impair its business. More over, I see no warrant for making the change under the provision of the law as 1 canstrue it. "I will, therefore, ask you to re scind the order you have recently issued placing the State Fund upon the same rate basis as other insur ance organizations, and to allow the i matter to stand as it has been here • tofore." COLONELS WILL DISCUSS UNITS Meeting of Commanders of New National Guard Will , Be Held Here Shortly appointed to eom tiona of the new I summoned to a meeting in liar geographical distribution of the units ! with Adjutant General Frank D. ! Beary and Major General W. G. j Price, commanding the Guard, j Formal letters have been received i here authorizing the formation of | a tactical division of Pennsylvania I troops and the various auxiliary or j ganizations and such other units as may be formed will be authorized before very many days. Appointment of the colonels has caused numerous applications for | commissions to be made by men with ! overseas service records. The State Compensation Hoard \ has set aside the petition for review ; of the compensation proceedings in ! Dragevich vs. Cambria Steel Co., j holding that the testimony shows that ! the claimant is able to go to work; but | has set aside the final receipts in ; Shestock vs. Ebenburg Coal Co., the j claimant having undergone one I operation and declined to submit to | another on the groiind that his dis ! ability would be increased rather i than diminished. A new hearing is ! ordered in Conway vs. Sugar Hun j Coal Mining Co., Altoona, and peti i tion dismissed in Clark vs. Union j Switch and Signal Co., Swissvale.

I Quite a few people on Capitol Hill ' recognized an old friend in "Bill" ! Nye, of the United States Secret | Service, who was in charge of the Belgian royal party as representa tive of the United States Govern- I ment. Mr. Nye is one of the best I known of the secret service men and i has been here a number of times. | For being on the job there are few I like Nye. Many of the questions coming to 1 tlie Capitol nowadays which seek in ) formation relate to the liquor laws. State officials are taking the ground j that prohibition is a Federal matter | and most of the problems are re ferred to Washington. Governor Sproul will -leave early i next week for Massachusetts. He is in Philadelphia to-day. The Belgian visit to the Capitol reminded people of the whirlwind visit paid by Col. Roosevelt in 1906. The Colonel arrived. exclaimed, walked through and went out and made his speech, declaring after wards that the Capitol was one of the prettiest buildings he had ever seen. The State Board of Property meets next Wednesday on the Hog Island cgse. Speaker Robert S. Spnngler came ud from York yesterday for the re ception to the Belgians. The State Commission of Fisher ies has been called to meet in Phila delphia on Monday for its first meet- I ing since the appropriations were made. The winter and spring work j will be outlined and improvements [at headquarters considered. The '•pTorresdale hatchery will be inspect | ed. Detailed statements on the work ! of this year will be made. | Itc|>orts at the close of the first week of the small game hunting season that there has been pretty fair quail and pheasant shoot ing in districts where birds were taken care of during the winter and many squirrels bagged. The pro tection was taken off red squirrels this year and many of the other varieties have been shot this season. Tlie Public Service Commission has scheduled hearings for Harris burg, Williamsport and Philadelphia next week. Thursday the Williams port hearing will be on complaints against the Northern Central Gas Company. The Philadelphia hearing will' be on Holmesburg and Disston water rates on Friday. Arguments will be heard here Monday, follow- I ed by an executive session where I action will be taken on applications ELOmiSBTTRG TELEGKAPH tor the first certificates under the new motor vehicle Regulation. Phil adelphia cases to be argued are Shu bert vs. Philadelphia Electric and Johnson vs. Philadelphia Suburban Gas and Electric Companies. Wednesday the Oley turnpike toll rate case comes up with the Dau phin "Narrows" and Mahoning township grade crossing cases. ltccommcmlntions for amendment of the Pennsylvania dog license code, so that there may be sum mary convictions as in the case of violations of the game and other codes, will probably be made to the next Legislature .by the Department of Agriculture as the result of ex perience with th 4 ilog law this year. Sixty actions have been brought by the department alone tor violation of the act, mainly for failing to license dogs, while probably twice that many have been brought by In dividuals or sportsmen's associa tions. Thirtyrtwo actions are still pending, practically all in half a dozen counties. Most of the diffi culty in enforcing the law has been in Berks and Lehigh counties where the State was forced to take a hand in the prosecutions and 25 persons were fined. State pure foorl agents are having their own troubles with a multiplicity or fruit concoctions which have ap peared on the market and which in some cases have been found to have as much' "kick" as gin. The State food agents have made a collection of drinks which are said to cover every kind of fruit raised in the United States, even a strawberry beverage having been discovered. The chemists are busy making analy sis and have been discovering some which fail to meet both State laws on branding and Federal laws on alcohol. It took two hours' work and search through ceveral encyclo pedias and other books and finally a reference to the State Library to find out how to fly flags from the Capitol in honor of the visit of the Belgian King. The Department of Public Grounds and Buildings had no precedents to go by and the State Department declined to give a ruling. Finally flags were flown on two wings, the national flag in the center, the State on the right and Belgian flag at the left. The latest of the late reports to make an appearance is that of the State Department of Health for 1915. It is 1,560 pages and filled with tables. It is probable that some steps to cut down the size of re ports in hands of the printer so that work can be gotten up to date will be token, as the Governor is anxious to put the publications on a better basis. First copies of the consolidated game, fish and forest laws of Penn sylvania brought down to date with the acts and amendments of 1919 Included have just been issued by the State Game Commission which had charge of the compilation. The nrlglaii tree, as the ever* green planted near the Hartranft statue yesterday by the King of the Belgians is already known, is being closely watched by Capitol police. Souvenir hunters were around yes terday almost as soon as the King left Harrisburg.

Although breweries in New York discontinued the manufacture and sale of 2.75 draught and bottled beer to-day, in anticipation of the ' enforcement of the war-time prohibition either next Tuesday or Wednesday, the city will not be entirely dry.

Oct. 2 s.—Deputy Leboucq has introduced in the French Chamber of Deputies a bill asking that an appropriation be made for the purchase of the wood o( Crepy en-Laonnais, where were situated the first long range guns that bom barded Paris in March, 1918.

Sentences Were Often Heavy, Crowder Says Washington, Oct. 25.—"There have been too many excessive court-mar tial sentences," Judge Advocate Gen eral Crowder told the Senate Mili tary Affairs sub-committeo yester day. "An erroneous impression has gone out, however, from the citing I of u relatively lew cases of exces sive sentences," he added. Crowder said he had urged modi fication of the system of military justice as early as 1911. S. T. An sell, formerly acting Judge Advo cate General, charged Crowder re cently with opposing reform of the court-martial scystem. The com mittee is considering legislation along this line.

"There are fewer public utilities in Pennsylvania in the hands of a re ceiver than in any other state in the Union," declared William D. B. Ainey, chairman Public Service Com mission of Pennsylvania, addressing the opening session of the fourth annual convention of the New Jersey Utilities Associaton at ' the Hotel Traymore yesterday. "There are only seven street, rail way companies in the State operated by a receiver," ho continued, "the only large company being the Pitts burgh Street. Railway Company. Out of a total mileage of 5,000,' loss than 650 arc operated by a receiver." Mr. Ainey told his auditors that one of the reasons why public utili ties found themselves in financial difficulties at the present time was because most of them had entered into contracts with municipalities for a term of years which could not. be profitably fulfilled under present con ditions. "It has been our policy," he said, "that where contracts in the inter ests of the public cannot yield an adequate revenue to a company we have in every instance swept the contract aside and opened the door for the company to prove its cases. That, in my opinion, is the reason why so few companies In Pennsyl vania have been placed in the hands of a receiver."
