GOVERNOR MAKING FIGHT
FOR CHILD LABOR BILL
Halts Committee When He Learns It
Is About to Report Bill Other Than
the Administration Measure Pre
pared by Attorney' General
The ManufScturers' Confmittee of
the House was to liav<> held a meeting
yesterday afternoon and take soipe acr
tion on the child labor bill, but Gover
nor Brumbaugh got word that the coin
mittee intended to report out the bill
prepared by the Congress of Mothers
instead of the one prepared by Attor
ney General Brown, and known as the
Brumbaugh bill. He hurriedly sent
for Representative Cox, chairman of
the committee, and had the meeting
postponed.
Later Governor Brumbaugh sent for
Senators Crow and McNichol and
served notice on them that he proposed
to press the passage of his bill despite
the opposition of manufacturers, and he
would make the issue between his meas
ure and that presented by the Congress
| of Mothers.
"I will meet some of the manufac
turers at the Bellevue-Stratford Satur
day morning, at 11 o'clock, and ex
plain the continuation school features
of the child labor bill," declared the
Governor after meeting the leaders.
"If they have any proposition that is
fair and workable and will make the
bill better than it is, I certainly have
an open mind in the matter; but they
must remember that the time has come
in Pennsylvania when we must have
an advanced child labor law which will
be fair to the children. I am perfectly
confident that we wiH get it.
' V\'o concessions will be made in the
matter of hours. That has been set
tled by competent medical opinion, by
the .judgment of people who have
stiiiiied the subject, and it is no longer
a matter of debate. I shall stand by
the hours in the Cox bill.
"So far as the age limit is concern
ed, there is no disagreement about
that, so far as I hav e been able to dis
cover.
"The passage of the Cox bill will
mean the opening of a new kind of
school for every working child in the
State. Of course, we do not expect the
continuation school to be a complete
success at once, but the way to get' the
continuation school is to get it. The es
tablishment of the continuation schools
will be the second great educational
step in the history of the State. There
will "be opposition to it—that is the
story of all progress. There was oppo
sition to the first great step, which was
the opening of the public schools to all
the children of the State. That was in
1834.
"Two years later au attempt was
made to repeal that act, but one Thad
deus Stevens stooil up against his par
ty anil won the fight against the re
pealer. We would never get the con
tinuation school if we waited upon the
manufacturers. They have had gener
ations in which to establish these
schools, and now it is up to the State."
(JOVEHXOR ASKED FOR APKIL (i
Committee Fixed That Date for Option
Hearing at His Request
The action of the Law and Order
Committee of the House in agreeing
yesterday to fix April 6 as the date for
an open hearing was taken on a mo
tion made bv Representative Hackett,
credited with training with the
"wets," after Chairman Williams had
read the following letter received bv
him from the Governor:
"I beg to advise you that I have re
ceivoH a large number of requests for a
public hearing on the local option bill.
Most of the individuals interested, some
for and some against the bill, have in
dicated that it would be, in their judg
ment, that a hearing be heid on
this subject.
"I agree in this judgment, and
j would respectfully ask you and your
I committee at your next'meeting to ar
j range for a public hearing on the aft
! ernoon of April 6, a day which in
equity and justice seems to me to be
fair, and at this hearing all parties and
; interests should receive the same fair
; and impartial opportunity to present
what to them seems wise concerning
i this measure. •
"I respectfulv request that you
grant this hearing on the date above
j indicated."

tion of the Gibboney local" option bill,
and the Evans measure for the early
closing of saloons until Tuesday, April

FOOD QUESTION
Settled With Perfect Satisfaction
It's not an easy matter to satisfy all
the members of the family at meal time,
as every housewife knows.
And when the husband can't eat
ordinary food without causing trouble,
the food question becomes doubly an
noying.
An Illinois woman writes:
"My husband's health was poor, he
had no appetite for anything I could
get for him, it seemed.
"He suffered severely with stomach
trouble, was hardly abie to work, was
taking medicine continually, and as
soon as he would feel better would go to
work again only to give up in,a few
weeks.
"One day, seeing an advertisement
about Grape-Nuts, I got- some and he
tried it for breakfast the next morning.
"We nil thought it was pretty good
although we had no idea of using it
regularly. But when my husband came
home at night he asked for Grape-Nuts.
"It was the same next day and I had
to get it right along, because when we
would get to the table the question,
'Have ydtl any Grape-Nuts' was a reg
ular thing. So I began to buy it by
the dozen pkgs.
"My husband's health began to im
prove right along. I sometimes felt
offended when I'd make something I
thought he would like for a change, and
still hear the same old question, 'Have
you any Grape-Nutst'
"He got so well that for the last two
years he has hardly lost a day from his
work, and we are still using Grape-
Nuts."
Numc given by Poatum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich. Bead, "Xhe Bond to Well
ville," in pkgs. "There's a Reason."
Ever read the above letter? A new
one appears from time to time. They
are genuine, true, and full of human
interest.

BILLS TO REORGANIZE THE
LAW DEPARTMENT ARE IN
Measure Drafted by Attorney General
Brown to Centralize State's Lagal
Business Introduced In the House
Last Night*
The bills drafted by Attorney Gen
eral Brown for the reorganization of
the State's law department to central
ize the State's legal 'business were in
troduced in the House last night by
Mr. McNichol, of Philadelphia.
One act places all legal business and
affairs of every branch of the govern
ment under "direction aud control of
the Attorney General;" requiring all
chief departments or bureaus to report
all litigations or difficulties, delinquent
taxes or other accounts to the Attor
ney General, who will look after them,
and to follow advice given. No other
branch -f the government may employ
counsel for departmental business aftei
passage of the act, btit all selections
of local or special counsel to handle
enses are to be made by the Attorney
General, who will designate their com
pensation. The act will affect most of
the departments of the State govern
ment now having their own counsel.
The companion bill reorganizes the
Attorney General's Department, fixing
offices and salaries as follows:
Attorney General, $12,000 per year;
first deputy, $7,500; one at $6.-
000; two deputies at $5,000 each, and
two deputies at $3,500 each, all to bo
appointed by the Governor; private sec
retary. who ie also to be a stenographer,
$3,500; thrpe law clerks at $3,000
each; five stenographers at $1,200 each;
one messenger at $1,200 and one tele
phone operator at S9OO. Tie attorney
is authorized to appoint such additional
deputies, law clerks and stenographers
"as he may dem necessary, whose com
pensation shall not exceed in the aggre
gate $20,000 per annum." All officers
and employes are to perform such du
ties as shall be assigned them bv the
Attorney General.
BHi BREADSTUFF EXPORTS
Shipments for Eight Months More
Than Triple
W rhingtou, D. C., March 25. —Amer-
ican breadstuff's worth $357,091,823
were shipped abroad during the eight
month periiki ending Fe'bruarv 28, as
compared with $115,215,881" for the
same period of the preceding year.
Figures given out yesterday by the
Department of Commerce showed the
greatest increase was in wheat exports,
which rose from $67,054,608 a year
ago to $229,205,142. For the 'last
month alone, breadstuff exports totaled
$62,875,959, compared with $5,772 r
255 in February, 1914 and wiieat ex
ports increased from $3,893,895 to
$38,399,993. The Department s tables
do not show tho destination of these
shipments, although it is known taut
the great bulk of them went to feed
soldiers and civilians in belligerent
countries of Europe.
Exports of corn and oats also leaped
upward by millions of dollars last
mont'h and the eight-month period, and
in February cotton shipments showed
an increase of approximately $20,000,-
000 over the same month a year ago.
The total of cotton exports for t;ie
eight-month period, however, fell beiow
the 1914 figure by more than s2ou,-
000,000, the respective amounts being
I for 1914, $-198,910,358; for 1915,
$243,947,124.
Some idea of the part American beef
is playing in feediug the men in the
trenches may be gained from the fact
that exports of fresh beef increased last
month to $17,813,161, as against
in February of the preceding
year, while during the tigat month
period the total export was $57,000,000
greater than in 1914. Canned beef val
ued at $7,264,720 went abroad last
month, as ag&iust $243,766 a year ago.

LIEBKNECHT, SOCIALIST,
WOSTERED INTO THE ARMY
Berlin. Via London, March 26, 10
A. M.—-Dr. Karl Liebknecht, a Social
ist member, of the has been
'mustered into the army €s a member
ef »-'laads<urm regiment and assigned
to service in Alsace.
The Copenhagen "Pelitiken" print
ed a story Monday to the effect that
Liebkiiecht had boeu ordered to place
himself at the disposal bf the German
military authorities. This action was
supposed to have been due to his action
in the Reichstag on Saturday in voting
against the adoption of the budgets The
"Pqlitiken" stated that Dr. Lacb
knecht was directed to consider him
self under the military law and that
he was prohibited from writing articles
or attending political meetings except
those of the Reichstag and Landtag.
Berlin dispatches received in Am
sterdam Monday says the Socialist par
ty in the Reichstag had given out a
declaration -severe'v denouncing the
"breach of discipline" committed by
Dr. Liebknecht and his colleague Her#
Kuehle, in voting against the adoption
of the budget.
Dr. Liebknecht is perhaps the most
widely known Socialist in Germany. He
frequently has protested vigorously
against the war and was reputed in De
cember last to be the leader of a secret
German peace movement- Early in
January he appealed to the newspapers
aud labor leaders to end the conflict.
He had previously been disavowed by
his party associates in« the Reichstag
and a speech he made early this month
in the Prussian Diet resulted in a pro
test from other parties.
BRinSH REFUSE TO HURRY -
WILHELMINA CARCO CASE
London, March 25.—Counsel fqr the
owners of the cargo of the American
steamship Wilhelmina, which was seized
by the British authorities while taking
a cargo of food from New York to
Germany, made an unsuccessful appli
cation yesterday in the Admiralty
Court to have the case heard in the
present tjerm.
Representatives of the Crown said
they were not yet ready for trial, and
Sir Samuel Evaos, president of the Ad
miralty Court, refused the application.
No objection would be raised if the
owners of the Wilhelmina unloaded her
cargo and sent the vessel on her way,
representatives of the Attorney General
said. In such case the cargo would be
sold, if desired, and the proceeds paid
into tho prize court for later adjudica
tion. Assurances were given that the
government would do all in its power
to bring the case to trial early in the
next term.
1 Washington, March -s.—Complica
j lions have arisen in regard to the own-
I erahip of tho cargo of the Wilhelmina.
I It was at first supposed the cargo was
i owned entirely l.r an American con
cern, and it was upon that understand
i ing that '.he State Department on
March 19 made representations t 0 the
British government with the view of
i having the legal proceedings cxpe
i dited.
Recently, 'however, the department

BLANCO SHOHOR TREASON
Mexican Leader Who Adhered to
Gutierro* Put to Death by Firing
Squad of Vllliatas
Washington, March 25.—General
Lucio Blanco, who has been called "the
Phil Sliaridan" of the Mexican revolu
tionists because of his Mashing quali
ties as a cavalryman, has been put to
death by a firing squad of Villa troops
after trial on a charge of treason to
the Convention Government of Mexico.
The killing of General Blanco took
place some time ago at Aguas Calientes,
but the facts had been suppressed. Gen
eral Blanco was Ministef of the In
terior in the Cabinet of ex-Provisional
President Gutierrez and was one of
the small group of Cabinet leaders who
accompanied Gutierrez when he fled
from Mexico City toward the end of
January. Blanco was captured by Vil
listas, taken to Aguas Calientes aud
tried by court-martial. It was alleged
that he had failed to uphold the Cou-!
vention Government and was found
guilty and was led before the firing
squad.
Blanco was the second general to be
put to death by Villistas for treason
since the flight of Gutierrez. The other
was General Mateo Almnnza, who was t
recently shot by Villista troops, after j
trial, at Torreon. Almanza, after the j
flight of Gutierrez, supported the latter
and then went over to the Carranzistas.
Blanco was one of the foremost gen
erals of the revolutionary movement
against Huerta.

"It had to do with the second act of
'Quality Street.' Miss Adams was not
entirely satisfied with the lighting of
this scene and she called what we term
a 'light' rehearsal following one of the
night performances. We started at mid
night and began by trying this combina
tion and that and then doing it all over
agAin with greater or less tlegrees of
light. Sometimes we would get almost
the exact effect desired only to lose it

FOWL PULLS ITSELF APABT
Connecticut Chicken': Two Sets of Legs
. Work in Opposition
New Haven, Conn., March 25.—The
town of •C'neshire has developed a chick
en which ought to have been bom in
Winste<i, so that its praises could be
properly expressed 'by the Win*ted
Lyre. Joseph Wheeler, one of the most
prominent of poultry reisers, found
among a recent hatched Rhode Island
red brood a perfectly formed chicken
except that it had four legs. All went
well for nearly a week, when the legs
became strong and the chicken wanted
to move about.
Then it was discovered that the two
sets of legs were platted for locomotion '
in opposite directions. Each was anx
ious, however, to do its duty, and the
result was that the chicken pulled it
self apart. During its 'brief life per
sons from all over tih_\?ountryside cmne
to see it, and in death it has been turn
ed over to the tender care of a taxi
dermist.

threw out a switch. 'lt's s*ill there,'
she answered: I tried another tacit.
'No, that hasn't remedied it. Come
where I am standing, please. There,
don't you see that?' she asked pointing
to a very obvious but puzzling ray of
light. I did see it and began to investi
gate its source. And then I laughed an,
indeed, we all did. It was aunligltt
