Next Monday morning the machin
ery and men in the entire fifteen divi
sions of the State Highway Depart
ment, taking in every county in the
State, will be set to work of fixing

attention.
George H. Biles, maintenance en
gineer of the department, said to-day
that the instructions given by Govern
or Brumbaugh to Deputy State High
way Commissioner Hunter to begin
work on Monday, will be carried out
to the letter. General maintenance
work will be taken up at first. Precau
tions were taken some time ago by
Mr. Biles' division eo that things
would be ready when the call should
go out to begin operations, and all it
was waiting for was the word to be
gin.
"Everything is iu first class shape
to take care of the work," said Biles,
"and we can put ae many men as are
needed on any part of the job. All
roads in the State coming under State
supervision will be put in repair for
the summer."

9 IN EASTER CROP OP BRIDES
This Number Is 30 Per Cent. Below
That of This Time Last Year
Harrisburg's contribution to the list
of Easter brides is extremely small tihis
year. Only one of the nine couples who
oibtained licenses this morning at the

of this city.
The number of licenses issued to
Easter brides in Pauiphin county is few
er by more than 50 per cent, than that
taken out a year ago. It was suggest
ed at the Recorder's office this morning
that possibly tihe 'high cost of liv

NEWSPAPER PAY
BILL IS VETOED
Continued From First Page.
who contended that it meant the pay
ment of bills that were unfair to the
state. 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.

they could -find them. They even got
them from outside of the State, took
them to justices who did not know the
difference and collected the money.
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,

' have been arrests in other counties.

In Scranton, one man detected at
I the rat game, was arrested and made
j to pay a tine, and he acknowledged

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.

BRITAIN'S NEW CENSORSHIP
POLICY NOW BEFORE BRYAN
Washington. April 3. Secretary
Bryan had before him to-day Great
Britain s formal announcement of hei
new cable censorship policy. A mem
orandum o,i the subject had been trans
mitted to the State Department through
Ambassador Page at London.
In it Great Britain serves notice of
its intention to stop ali messages sent
over caliles under British control relat
ing to trade in contraband or non-con
traband "to which a resident in an
enemy country is one of the parties."
In this connection the communication
points out that "it is clear that in
view of the great importance of re
stricting the enemy's supplies and with
holding facilities from them for carry
ing on their trade, His Majesty's gov
ernment cannot be expected to atTord
the use of British cables to enable neu
tral and enemy countries to make ar
rangements with each other for the con
duit of that trade."
Officials here construe the action to
mean that in accordance with the allies'
program Glfat Britain will not permit
tile sending of messages from tile Unit
ed States to Italy or any other neutral
country if they refer in any way to a
transaction in which a resident of Ger
many, Austria or Turkey is interested.

and called on a number of local city
officials, including City Clerk Charles A.
Miller and Park Commissioner M. Har

Mr. Bark, differs somewhat from the
Clark system followed here and in ot'her
Pennsylvania third class ci'foies.
Trenton conditions lie likened to Har
risburg's in that a3to 2 vote is fre
quently recorded by the five-mem'ber
commission. Politics rarely figures in
the little scraps, he said. Police and
city employes are selected in Trenton
by civil service, he pointed out, and the
commission conducts liquor license
court and has many jiofl'ers which now
are not vested in Pennsylvania city
commissions. Trenton commissioners
get $3,000 per year, which is SSOO
better than the salaries of 'Harrisburg
commissioners.

against the International Mercantile
Marine, the Fidelity Trust Company
and the International Navigation Com

of interest ou $52,744,000 four and
one-half per cent, collateral trust
bonds.
The mammoth fleet that flies the
flag of the Mercantile Marine Company
was brought together by a syndicate
of American and British capitalists un
der the leadership of the late J. P.
Morgan. The corporation in its pres
ent form was chartered in New Jersey
in 1902, aul succeeded the Interna
tional Navigation Company. One hun
dred anil nineteen steamships, flying
the flags of Great Britain, the United
States and Belgium were operated ac
cording to the latest available figure;*
and there were then building 18 more
ships. Some of these have since been
completed. More than $100,000,000 of
the company's authorized capital stock
of $1 20,000,000 has been issiieil.
No transatlantic steamships were
directly operated by the company, their
operations being left to subsidiary cor
porations, whose stock was held by the
International Mercantile Marine Com
pany.
It was said the receivership proceed
