'WANT A STATE INSPECTOR
OF FERTILIZER PLANTS
Agriculturists Prepare Measures for
Legislature and Will Back Police
Bill for Protection in Country,
Districts
Seeking to regulate the fertilizer'
■business in this State the Wtato Board
of Agriculture is backing measures
which will be introduced into legisla
ture this session. This was made known
this morning when the Legislative com
mittee of that organization made its
report.
A bill lias been prepared amending
the present fertilizer law making it
compulsory for the manufacturer to in
dude in his statement of the product
the sources of the materials from 1
which the fertilizer is made, Tue j
board in addition recommends the a;>-1
pointment of a fertilizer inspector, an |
employe in the State Department ot'
Agriculture, whose business will be to
inspect fertilizer plants.
Measures have also been prepared!
| regulating commission business in W> I
far as it relates to the sale of agricul- i
tural products; regulating the sale of]
lime in so far as it relates to agricul-j
tural products and amending the pros- j
ent fruit law so that the legal weight I
of a bushel will not be more than the j
actual weight.
The State board will also back a i
Slate police bill, which has been [ire
pared for introduction into the Legis- |
lature by the superintendent of the j
State police for the better protection 1
of life and property in the rural dis- i
Iricts by the State police force. The]
| committee reported that such a bill has j
already been prepared and the board i
I was lending its influence in haviug it
passed.
011 the committee which made this !
report this morning were S. S. Bly- !
bolder, Kelly Station; M. M. Naginey, ;
Milroy; H. C. Snavely, Celona: H. G. j
McGowan. Geiger's Mills, and Robert
W. Lohr, Boswell.
The report of this committee did not |
contain a recommendation of a bill that !
| was much discussed yesterday after- |
! noon, relating to a reorganization of I
the State Department of Agriculture, j
j placing the direction of the department 1
in the hands of a commission of seven
to be appointed by the Governor.
Committees on resolutions ami I
memorials reported. Secretary M. B.
Critvhlield, Secretary of the State Board
of Agriculture, was given a vote of !

Steamer Reported Lost Reaches Port •
The Italian steamship Angela Parodi, I
which was Inst from view of the reve-1
! nue cutter Itasca yesterday in a fog
and was believed to have gone down
I with her crew of 27, reached this port'
| to-day in tow of the Greek steamer;
i t'rio«.
The P:>.rodi had been adrift sinee j
January 19. when her supply of coal'
was exhausted. Por four days the reve
j nue cutter Itasca stood by' and en
deavorr ! to get a line to the drifting
ship. The Parodi's food supply ran ouT
and this increased the suffering of the I
crew. High seas prevented the Itasca
from aiding either the ship or those
'aboard.
During Monday night the Parodi
drifted away from the Itasca in thick
weather. The cutter searched all dav '
Tuesday and yesterday for the ship and I
not finding it sent a wireless message!
last night to Norfolk expressing the be- i
i lief that the Parodi had sunk about I
| 340 miles off ( ape Henry with all on
board. This belief was strengthened,
the wireless message said, by the fact'
that the cutter encountered a mass of
wreckage in her search.
Second Rescue for Crios
After the Parodi became separated
from the Itasca, her officers said to-day,
j • lie Greek steamer Crios sighted her!!
This was at 3 o'clock in the morning j
of January 26, a few hours after she ,
had drifted away from the Itasca. The !
] Crios succeeded in getting a line to the i
! helpless vessel and took her in tow.
The rescue of the Parodi is the sec-!
ond one achieved by the Crios in suc
cessive voyages. On her previous voy
a'ge from New York to Piraeus 011 No
vember 23 tlw Crios fell in with the
British steamer Gripwcll, which ha I
lest her propeller, and towed the Grip-j
! well to Gibraltar, a distance of 800 !
j miles.
Francis Bushman at Photoplay To-day
World's most popular movie actor
comes to the Photoplay to-day in a two- ;
act Essanay drama, '"'Dear Old Girl."
Mr. Bushman states that his best work -
before the screen is in this beautiful 1
-tory of college life, "Dear Old Girl.'' |
With scenes taken at Cornell University !
and with assistance of many of the
Cornell boys, also Miss Beverly Bayne, I
in the leading role, we can recommend ;
this as a truly great production. It is
.1 touching romance which is beautiful I
but full of sadness. Mr. Bushman does I
excellent work as the lover, particularly j
when lie is in a demented state of i
n.ind, after learning of his sweetheart's
death,-and the production will leave a
lasting impression. Miriam Nesbitt, of
the Edison Company, appears to-day in
the title role of " Lena,'' a two-act
drama. Little Bobby Connelly, or
j "Sonny Jim," as he is better known,
i will entertain all in a Vitagraph come
dy, "Chiefly Concerning Males." Spe
; cial to-morrow, a Broadway-Star fea
ture, "The Sage-Brush Gal." Adv.*

MAY DROP 2 COMMISSIONERS
Gossip on Hill Again Says Utilities
Board May Be Made SmaUer
Jt is expected, according to a story
on Capitol llill to-day, that the Senate
f'oniinittee on. Executive Nominations,
to which have-been referred the nomi
nations made by Governor Tener dur
ing the recess, will have a conference
with Governor Brumbaugh before the
Senate meets on Monday evening as to
his wishes regarding the confirmation of
the appointments.
Tlie talk is, and it may be all talk,
that at least two of the members of
the Public Service Commission will not
be confirmed, and that the proposition
to reduce the membership of the Com
mission to five will receive serious con
siderat ion.
The Homestead Association of the
State, made up principally of borough
officials, which met here yesterday, was
very decided in favoring a bill for the
abolition of the Commission in its en
tirety, but this is understood to have
been received with little favor in ad
ministration circles. The two names
most mentioned as not meeting the ap
proval of the Senate Committee 041
Executive Nominations are those of
Commissioner Wallace, of Erie, and
Commissioner Walter H. Gaither. of Al
legheny, the latter formerly private
secretary, to Governor Tener, appointed
during his last month as Governor.
It is said that Commissioner Wal
lace, who is the only Democrat on the
<'cnimisMon, has been disposed to retire
for some time. In the case of Mr.
Gaither it is held that Governor Tener
wolud hardly have appointed him un
less he had been assured of his con
firmation by the Senate.
As yet the Senate Committee 011 Ex
ecutive Nominations has not held a
meeting, but it is expected that the
members will get together in Philadel
phia this week and arrive at some un
derstanding concerning deferring to
the wishes of Governor Brumbaugh in
the several appointments now in the
committee's hands.
Governor in Philadelphia To-night
Governor Brumbaugh left this after
noon for Philadelphia where he will
this evening participate, in the Acade
my of Music, in the neutrality meeting
called to define the attitude of this
country toward the nations at war in
Europe. He will return to-morrow
morning and to morrow evening will
again go to Philadelphia for the week
end.
Lecture at Tech To-night
William Sterling Battis, interpreter
of Dickens, will lecture in the Tech
nical High-school auditorium this even
ing, the last of a series under the aus
pices of the liarrisfourg Teachers' As
sociation. He portrays the characters
in costume and "makes up" on the
platform.
