MINE SAFETY BILL IS
PASSED BY THE SENATE
Measure Adopted Finally la Upper
Branch After Beidleman Amends It
So as to Make Certain of Placing
Responsibility on Operator!
The Catlin bill to provide for the
safety and health of persons employed
Sand about the anthracite coal mines
Pennsylvania passed thin} reading
in the Senate this morning, after that
body had amended It to make the own
er or operator of the mine the respon
sible party in case of accident and not
the mino foremen. This was done to
fix responsibility under the workmen's
liability law.
This is the bill that provoked the
scene in the Senate between Senators
MeNichol and Thompson some time ago
when the latter endeavored to have it
sent back to the Committee on Mines
and succeeded. Last night the bill
was re-reported from the Committee on
Mines, but it was, in the opinion of the
miners, ambiguous and sought to place
responsibility on owners and operators
of mines only in case the workmen's
compensation bill passed, otherwise
the mine foremen were again to be the
parties responsible in case of accident.
When the bill was reached this
morning Mr. Beidleman, Dauphin, asked
to have it amended. To this Mr.
Thompson objected. By a viva voce
vote the Senate then went into Com
mittee of the Whole, with Senator
Sppoul in the chair. Beidleman at once
offered his amendments which cut out
the alleged ambiguous language and
fixed responsibility on mine owners and
operators under all circumstances.
In support of his amendments he
made a speech in which he maintained
that his action was for the purpose of
bringing the miners under the work
men 's compensation act.
Thompson held that the bill as re
ported by him protected the miner.
This was denied by Beidleman who
held that the bill as reported was not
mandatory but optional and did not
affond protection.
Senator McNichol held that the bill
should be so drawn as to leave no room
for doubt as to where the responsibil
ity ought to be placed, and there should
be no evasion or undermeaning to de
stroy its force.
The Senate then, by a standing vote
of 31 to 10, in Committee of the
Whole, adopted the Beidleman amend
ments, and later in open Senate the
bill as amended passed third reading.
Bills were introduced in the Senate
as follows:
Sproul—Appropriating s4,o*o*o to
the Pennsylvania Historial Commis
sion for a replica of the Houdin statue
of Washington.
Phippe —Directing the State Water
Supply Commission to improve the
channel of the Shenango river at
Sharon. «
Burke —Forbidding railroad com
panies from operating freight trains
more than one-half mile in length un
der penalty of from SIOO to f'soo;
also appropriating $5,000 to the First
Allegheny Day Nursery.
Bills recalled from the Governor
for amendment were passed finally as
follows:
Begulatlng the practice of optometry
in this State.
Regulating containers in which are
sold vegetables, grapes and fruits.
Among bills passed finally as fol
lows:
Providing that bottles or jars for
milk or cream shall be measures within
the provisions of the containers act of
1913.
Providing for the conversion of co
operative banking associations into
•banks of discount.
'Fixing penalties for the violation of
the weights and measures law of 1911.
Regulating through the Commission
er of Labor and Industry the business
of assisting employes to obtain em
ployes.
Providing for the payment on bonds
required of public officers.
The bill to place party names on the
ballot according to the vote cast at
the lafct gcenral election instead: of the
last Presidential election, which was
recalled from the House last night, was
reconsidered by the Senate and then
recommitted to the Committee on Elec
tions.
At 1.50 p. m. the Senate adjourned
until to-morrow morning at 10 o'clock,
after clearing its calendar of bills on
first and second reading.

OF ALLEGED LIBEL
CwtliaH Pvmb Ftrat Past.
thoritatively stated, however, that
this rumor was without foundation.
Mr. Ivins began h)s address by ex
plaining to the jury the subject of li
bel and that which pertains thereto.
He continued:
Outlines Roosevelt's Queer
"We must consider the occasion out
of which the alleged libelous matter
arose. The occasion was antecedent
to the primary election in this State
last fall. Who were the principals 1
The defendant while a member of the
Assembly in the early 80' a established
a reputation as an author. He at that
time had begun to make himself a fac
tor in public affairs. He had more in
fluence than any single newspaper."
Mr. Ivins then outlined Col. Roose
velt's political career and added:
"During all this timo he continued
to be fluent with his pen and gradually
became the greatest facter in American
politics.''
After pointing out that Mr. Barnes
and Col. Roosevelt were both educated
at Harvard, Mr. Ivins discussed at
length the manner in which they had
entered public life.
When Interests Began to Diverge
"When did the intorests of the prin
cipals in this action begin to diverge! "
Mr. Ivins went on. "I'll tell you. It
was during the gubernatorial campaign
of 1910. We do not intend to go into
that break just at this time. It is
enough to say that a controversy arose
over who would control tho convention.
The result was that Col. Roosevelt was
tho victor and he obtained control of
the Republican party at that time. The
Republican party failed at the election,
however.
"In 1912 the defendant left the
party and the details of the great cam
paign between Col. Roosevelt Mr. Wil
son and Mr. Taft are well known to
you. Now, to show you how many
people had confidence in Col. Roose
velt, more than four million voters also
left the party with him."
Says Colonel Held Malice
Mr. Ivins then discussed the ques
tion of whether Col. Roosevelt har
borod any malice toward Mr. Barnes.
"We intend to show that he did
hold malice by showing that libelous
statements were issued by him during
a period covering several years."
Mr. Ivins dwelt upon the legality
of the position as chairman of the Re
publican State committee, which Mr.
Barnes occupied. He then went into
an explanation of the last guberna
torial campaign and read the state
ment upon which the suit is based.
"Are the allegations true or are
they not " he asked. "If they are
the plaintiff has no standing in this
court. If the allegations are false then
it is the duty of you gentlemen to
pass upon the question of damages. In
this connection I believe the court will
instruct that there is no privilege to
defame any man."
Great -Historian and Anthor
Mr. Ivins referred to Colonel Booee
velt as "one of the country's great
est historians and authors." Then he
said:
"He used a combination of his
magnificent command of the English
language and his experience in politics
to make this attack.
"I shall show you that with his
control of publication at least four
million persons and probaiblv more had
access to the newspapers of this coun
try in which the statement was print
ed. Because he was the most powerful
political and intellectual factor in the
United States, he was able to secure
wider publication of his remarks than
any other citizen could.
' Colonel Meant Nothing Personal?
"Now he is here and he will have
to prove his own truthfulness to your
satisfaction. An answer has been filed
to the complaint. Yesterday in the mo
tion to dismiss, couneel for Colonel
Roosevelt said nothing personal was
meant to Mr. Barnes and Mr. Murphy
in the allegation and that those names
were what migfit be termed Algebraic
terms. I want you gentlemen to pay
particular attention to the evidence
offered by the defendant and determine
for yourselves whether anything per
sonal was meant."
PEANUT DISPLACES COW
Student of Both Think He Has a Milk
Substitute
Lancaster, Pa, April 20. F. H.
Hertzler, of IMt. Joy, claims to have
discovered a substitute for cow's milk,
and says he makes it this way:
Take peanuts and grind them in a
food-chopper, then put them in a jar
and pour water into it, in the propor
tion of three of four quarts of water to
one of kernels. After the contents of
the jar have 'been well shaken, strain
through a cloth.
Set the jar and contents away in a
cool place for several hours, and the
jar will have the appearance of con
taining cow'a milk, with cream about
the same proportion as in cows' milk
collected on the surface.

SAID HUSBAND'S'POUTING'
HADE BER HOWE UNHAPPY
Woman, Defending Divorce Suit, Tes
tifies That Rather Than Talk to
Her He Would Make Chalk Marks
to Show Where to flew
Declaring that her husband loves
another and for that reason is making
an effort to have their marriage an
nulled, Mrs. Lizzie M. Qehrett appear
ed in Judge McCarrell's side of di
vorce court last evening and, in de
fending the suit for legal separation,
denied that she wilfully and malicious
ly deserted her mate, George A. Oeh
rett.
Mm. Qehrett. several times broke
into tears and said she would be at
her husband's side to-day were it not
for his cruel treatment, threats,
abusive language and "That other
woman," who, she said, is her hus
band 's housekeeper.
This was the lone suit in which the
respondent set up a defense. Mrs.
Gehrett is receiving alimony at the
rate of S3O a month, it was testified,
and tho husband, through his lawyer,
offered to show that the wife's only
objection to the legal separation is be
cause it would meau the discontinu
ance of the payments. He wants the
divorce on the grounds of desertion.
The wife did not attempt to deny
that she deserted Oehrett but she
argued that she wae compelled to
leave home because of the husband's
cruel treatment. The wife said her
husband appeared to enjoy doing
chores for his neighbors, such as dust
ing and tacking carpets, "but when I
asked him to do it and criticized him
for refusing, he would shove his fist
under my nose and tell me he would
knock my head off."
Gehrett complained that his wife
hounded and harraased him and made
conditions unbearable.
"That is not so," pleaded the wife.
"I didn't do more than my duty when
I questioned him about staying out all
night. He would tell me that he spent
the nights at the Reily Hose house,
but 1 was not "there."
For wePRs preceding and subsequent
to the birth of one of Gehrett's chil
dren the wife said her husband would
not speak to her. His anger and silence
she said, was due to her having ob
tained chestnuts frqm a relative when
Gehrett refused to get them. It was
not uncommon for him to go about the
house "pouting," she said. When he
had mending to be done, the wife
testified, he would put the particular
garment in a conspicuous place and
make a chalk mark around the place
to be sewed. If he had no chalk a pin
was substituted as the marker.
Mrs. Gehrett now is living with her
mother in Newburg, Cumberland coun
ty. The court took the papers and re
served decision.

The best determinations as to the

that is, it is five and two-thirds times

INSIST ON UNIFORM WORK
HOURS FOR THE CHILDREN
A committee of manufacturers from
the Northumberland district called
upon Governor Brumbaugh yesterday
afternoon to endeavor to have
agree to alter the child laloor bill bo
as to eliminate the 51 hour per week
for minor children between 14 and
16 years. Governor Brumbaugh told
them that if they would not take 51
hours they would get 48, and they
retorted with the assertion that these
hours would eliminate minors under
18 from their employ. James C.
Brown, of the Eagle Silk Company,
Shamokin, informed the Governor that
their employes were ready to march
on Senator McConnell's home and de
mand that he vote against the Gov
ernor's child labor bill.
After the meeting the manufactur
ers issued a statement of which the
following is a part:
"We protest against the statement
attributed to your excellency that you
have already 'compromised' on the
question of uniform hours. There is no
such thing as compromising uniform
ity. Hour arc either uniform or they
are not uniform and the mere fact
that your excellency seems to imagine
that you have conceded something in
making the hours of employment in
your bill 9 a day or 51 a week is suf
ficient proof that you do not thorough
ly comprehend this phase of the ques
tion. We would just as soon have the
hours 48 as 51 or 52 or 53. We have
asked that they be uniform, 54 a week
and 10 a day, and if they should be
under that, it will not matter how far
under. They will not be uniform and
the damage will be done as surely as
though they were 48 hours. The juve
niles affected will have to be dis
charged from our factories. We object
to being forced into taking this action
through indirect legislation which pre
tends to be protecting minors in em
ployment and which would throw the
blame upon us when they lose their
employment."
CIRCUS A CITY IN ITSELF
Has Its Own Btores, Hospital, Shops,
Hotel, Laundry and Lighting Plant
The show ground of the Barnum
and Bailey circus is a city in itself,
lacking only a town council and a
state charter. It has its own lawyers,
postmaster, dentist, doctors, carpen
ters, electricians, painters, detectives,
blacksmiths, wagon makers, laundry
men, barbers, shoemakers, tailors, sail
makers, harness makers, store keepers
and photographers. It supports an
electric lighting' plant, a hospital and
a hotel, where 4,000 meals are cooked
and eaten every day in the week.
This circus city has a population
of 1,250 people, 70*0' horses, 40 ele
phants and 1,20'0 other wild and semi
domestic animals. At night the home
of this army is a train over one mile
in length. In a single season this
train travels about 40,000 miles, mak
ing stops in about 200 cities and giv
ing 400 performances. In its fifty
five years of life the show has ex
hibited in every city of any size in
the world. Royalty has applauded
it. The peasantry has hailed its ap
pearance with delight. Its prestige
is established in every country. It
is, of course, an American institution,
though it is quite as well known in
Europe and Asia as in the United
States.
The home offices of the show are
located in New York City and Chi
