Gipple 9 MWN BRUMS House Will Take Final Action on Repealer-* Result of the Contedfc Still in Doubt LOCAL OPTION UP WEDNESDAY That la Date on Which Clash WW Oo«a on Governor's Pet Measure—Senafto Likely to Ooncade Brumbaugh's Bight to Withdraw Commissions The sensation of this evening in leg islative circles is expected to bo the consideration in the House of tho full crew bill repctilor on third reading and final passage, and it is expected that there will bo a warm contest between the foes and friends of the measure. A number of railroad men are expected to be present at the session, and theje is much conjecture as to the ultimate fate of tho repealer. The general opt ion is that the voto will be vory close. Nobody is absolutely cortain as to where the majority will go. On Wednesday the local option bill will come up in the House for final passage, and tho entire session will bo devoted to speech-making as at least a dozen members have prepared speeches in which they desire to tell whv tUay are for or against the bill. Tins will take up the greater part of the day's session and the decks will uot be «lear ed for action until the close of tho meeting when the vote will be takon. The opponents of the measure still insist that they have it defeated aud that, at best, its friends tan not. mup ter more than sixty-five votes for it, but the friends of the bill, spurred an by Governor Brun(batigh, vsay they are satisfied the bill will have at. least 107 votes and possibly more. Oae hundred ami four votes are necessary to passage with all Representatives present. Governor Brumbaugh is very hopeful of the result and at the executive mansion on Saturday uight expressed the highest confidence in the bill pass ing by a good majority. Representative Woodward, of Allegheny, who is an ap ti-iecal option man, says that the friends of the bill have made no ma terial gains and that the bill will bo defeated. ■lust what action the Senate will take tonight on the letter of Governor Brumbaugh recalling the uominatioas of the Public Service Commission is not quite clear at present, but it is vory likoly that the Senate will tacitly ad mit the Governor's right to recall" the nominations and will take no action bu vond recognizing that right, which will leave the Governor free to send in new nominations. Senator Vare, of Philadelphia, in a formal statement, says that should the G-overnor send in new names for Public Service Commissioners they will bo corn firmed at once. QUASH PLAN FOR PAID AGRICULTURAL BOARD The House Committee on Judiciary Special has changed the Whitaker bill reorganizing the State Department of Agriculture, as prepared by direction of Governor Brumbaugh, and reported it out for action. The original *>ill provided for the appointment by the Governor of seven commissioners U> conduct the department, each to re ceive $1,500 a year. The amended bill still provides for seven commit* sionere, but removes the salary. They are to be appointed for eight years. The original bill gave the "commis sionero power to appoint a Secretary of Agriculture, but the amended bjil gives this authority to the Governor. The dairy and food commissioner, economic zoologist ami State veterin arian are left under the c.outrol of the Department of Agriculture, but all ,of their extensive duties are eliminated, leaving the powers of the department as at present. Extended authority, given by the original bill ovar State agricultural experiment station* and farmers' institutes also is eliminTtVt). The bill at present merely provides for a commission as advisor to the De partment of Agriculture, : with no cjiange whatever in the powers of the department of the bureaus under it. B«*fore the bill was amemlbd in com mittee Mr. Whitaker and the legisla tive committee of the State Grange are said to have had a conference with Governor Brumlbaugh. WOODS DENIES HE IS TO HEAD SERVICE COMMISSION A story originating ij> Pittsburgh and given publicity in iHarrisburg, to the effect that Secretary of the Coup monw.ealth Woods is to 'be appointed head of the Public Service Commission and reorganize that body was vqty promptly squelched Secretary Woofs himself to-day. Secretary Woods w»s appointed to his present position by Governor Brumbaugh. He has been in office about three months and the re port that he proposed to get out in or der po reorganize the Public, Service Commission was qufte a surprise to those who have taken an interest in the Public Service Commission matters, es pecially since Go\*ernor Brumbaugh re called all of the appointments of Com missioners made by Governor Tener previous to leaving office. Whatever, the Govornor may do in the matter #f naming new Commissioners, it is not at all likely that Secretary Woods will have anything to do with it. Asked thie .morning as to the truth of the story that emanates from Pitts burgh concerning his getting out of liis present position to take the presidency of the Public Service Commission, See reetary Woods said: "The story is untrue in every par ticular. It is ridiculous §nd nonsen sical, and, I may say, a grotesque proposition. There is not a word of truth in it. I like my present position, and it is not at all likely that I would change it.
