LftuCHT WITH THE GuuuS
Boya Break Down and Confess When
Police Identify Their Clothing u a
Part of the Stolen Loot—Now
Awaiting Sentence
Waynesboro, April 19.—A shipper'«
check materially aided the railroad po
lice in this section to run down two
youthful cat robbers who now are in
jail in Hagerstown where they con
fessed to lootiug three Western Mary
land railroad merchandise cars at High
field, near Sabillasville, last Thursday
night. The accused are Frank Smith,
19, of New Yotk. and Arthur Jones,
18, of Baltimore, iMd. They also ad
mitted having broken into and robbed
the ticket oflice in the Sanatorium sta
tion. .
The shipper's check indicated that
a quantity of clothing had been re
moved from the freight cars. When
Jones and Smith were arrested on Sat
urday both admitted that some of the
clothing they were wearing had been
taken from the flight- cars. In their
fiendish desire to obtain more valuable
loot from the cars the robbers broke
into many boxes and scattered the con
tents along the railroad.

House Will Take Final

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.
