GOVERNOR WINS
CIILO JILL Till
Succeeds in Having
Measure Reported in
the Senate in Its
Oriignal Form
THE EFFORT TO
AMEND FAILS
Suppressed Excitement Prevails During
Whole Evening Session of the Up
per Branch While the Legislative
Leaders Spar for Advantage
«. Despite the effort* of Senator Sny
der, of Schuylkill, to prevent a meet
ing of the .Judiciary Special Commit
tee of the Senate last night, in order
that no action might be takeu on the
child labor bill, the committee held a
meeting and ordered the bill reported
HARRKBUBG STAR-INDEPENDENT, TUESDAY EVENING. APRIL 27. 1915.
exactly as it tame from the House.
This was just what Governor Brum
baugn desired and what fea I been prom
ised to him at a conference in the
executive chamber last week bv Sena
tors McXichol and Vare, although Sen
ator Snyder, it is understood, opposed
that particular action.
It was the sensation of the even
ing s session.—this reporting out of
the bill.—and for three hours the Sen
ate chamber was charged as with elec
tricity, and yet to the casual observer
nothing out of the ordinary was taking
place, so quietly was everything being
done.
Wheu the committee failed to order
the bill out last Wednesday night, it
was understood that a meeting would
be held last night to take action, and
Governor Brumbaugh insisted that this
action be decisive. Senators McXichol
and \ are arrived here last evening and
went direet to the executive mansion.
After consultation with the Governor
they went to the Senate chamber and
aske»i Snyder to get his committee to
gether. Snyder, however, declined on
the ground that Senator Crow was not
here aud had requested a postpone
ment of the meeting until this morn
ing. McXichol and Vare declined to
have it that way, and McXichol drew
up a call for a meeting of the commit
tee which he had signed by nine mem
bers, or a majority.
Snyder conferred with a number of
opponents of the bill, and finally con
sented to call the committee together,
and in the meantime Senator Crow, who
was at his liome in Uniontown, Fav
ette county, was consulted and inter
posed no objection to a meeting being
held at once.
It was 11 o'clock when the com
mittee got together, and within half an
hour of midnight when it opened the
| doors, and came forth with the an
nouncement that it had been agreed to
report the bill "as committed," mean
j >ng as it was sent to committee.
Snyder was expected to make a
• statement when he reported the bill,
I but he said nothing. It is said, how
over. that an attempt will be.made to
amend the bill when it comes up on
| second reading to-morrow morning.
The action last night was regarded as
ja decided victory for Governor Brum
I baugh.

HOUSE PASSES BILL TO
CONSOLIDATE PRISONS
The House last night, by a vote of
123 to 62, passed the Hess bill to con
solidate the Eastern and Western peni

of the Allegheny delegation put the

KILLS FLAN FOR COUNTIES
TO PAY FOR PRIMARIES
The Senate last night defeated by a
vote of 17 years to 24 nays the Sproul
biH to have counties pay the expenses
of the primary elections. This was an
administration measure, introduced by
Senator Sproul, who was not present,
and an effort will be made to reconsid
er the vote by which it was defeated.
The Tompkins bill to permit boxing
and' wrestling exhibitions, killed last
week, came to the front again when
Senator Tompkins endeavored to have
the vote by which it was killed recon
sidered. His motion was defeated by
an overwhelming rising vote, and ia
now dead for the session.
Senator Cat lin introduced a bit]
making the trailing arbutus the State
flower, and Senator Bucknian introduc
ed a bill making the closed season for
killing frogs and tadpoles from Octo
ber 1 to July 1, and then only 25 of
each in one "day or 50 during the sea
son.
A somewhat heated debate, partici
pated is generally by the Senator*,
took place when the bill to compel
sellers of dressed meats and meat
products to keep their wares covered
so that neither insects nor dirt could
contaminate them, came up, but the
bill passed finally by 27 yeas to 10
nays.
The Senate concurred in the House
resolution asking the Republican Na
tional committee to select Philadelphia
as the place for holding the next Na
tional Republican convention.
