This was resented in a speech by Senator Beidleman, of Dauphin, and the bill passed and was scut to the Gov ernor. Appropriation Is Insufficient "This bill," said the Governor in applying the ax, "purports to adjust and settle and pay certain claims against the Commonwealth on a basis there in fixed. The bill makes an ap propriation of a definite sum with which to conclude this transaction. I am informed bv tin 1 Auditor General that these claims, if paid on the basis directed in this bill, will aggregate the sum of $91,760.65. "As only the sum of $46,040.80 is in this bill appropriated for that pur pose the payment directed by this bill is incapable of accomplishment. Iu other words the Auditor General is di rected by this bill to perform an im possibility. "The fact of this discrepancy be tween the amount required to pay tlicso claims and the amount herein appro priated appears to have arisen because of a misunderstanding between the claimants and the statements given by the office of the Auditor General as to the amount required to pay thqse claims. Each party in interest appears to have acted in-good faith. The one had in mind the amount required to settle the claims for 1913 and 1914. The other had in mind the amount re quired to settle the. e claims for 1912- 13-14, as the provisions of this bill di rect. "While I do not dn.any manner in tend to approve or interfere with the method of adjustment and payment of claims under the jurisdiction of the Department of the Auditor General, neither do 1 intend by my disapproval of this bill to be understood as having disapproved these claims. Iu other words, I have no intention of being in any way judged as having given any opinion concerning them. By submis sion of these claims at once to the Hoard of Public Accounts the end de sired by the claimants may be speedily attained. For these reasons this bill is not approved." Two Other Bills Get the Ax The bill validating certain sales of real estate heretofore made by guard ians, administrators and executors by decree of orphans court, was vetoed. The Governor thinks it is defective because it attempts to validate sales made under decree of orphans' court regardless of the fact that that court may not have had jurisdiction over the matter. It is questionable whether the legislature could validate such sales, he holds. The joint resolution authorizing the printing and binding of the report of the commission to consider the revision and amendment of the penal laws of Pennsylvania was vetoed because the measure does not define any limit of cost of publicati6n. The two bills approved by the Gover nor are as follows: i Granting to boroughs and incorpor ated towns the right of eminent do main to acquire propeity for municipal purposes. Confirmatory of the conveyance of real estate.

The commission is inclined to lay the blaine on the justices, holding that they should have made a careful ex ■ animation. In Elk county yesterday six men ; wore arrested and sent to jail for trail, ■ hut subsequently confessed. There ' have been arrests in other counties. | In Lebanon county a man claimed j pay for goshawk* in summer, when he I focded the justice with chicken heads, I and got his money. In Scranton, one man detected at I the rat game, was arrested and made j to pay a tine, and he acknowledged I his crime. i Change Made in G-ame Laws The Game Commission has incorpo rated in the new game law a proviso which compels every claimant for a ! bounty to submit the animal skin or the bird head to an official of the com mission before lie can collect a bounty and in this way the State will be protected. Secretary Kalbfus has had a con ference with Governor Brumbaugh on the way in which the State has been looted, and there may be an official inquiry. The claims for bounties by counties are still in the Auditor Gen eral's department, but in such num bers that it is impossible to classify them by counties in a short time. The work will take many days. 1,235 DIE OF PNEUMONIA Total Deaths in State in January Births, t N,,>;{;{ Pneumonia took a great toll of lives I in Pennsylvania during the mouth of ] January, according to the reports rc i ceived by the Bureau of Vital Statis j tics of the State Department of Health and made public to-day.
