Dibble, new prin cipal of the Central High school, met his student body to-day—half of them at chapel exercises at 8.30 o'clock this morning and the other half at chapel exercises at 12.45 o'clock. He assumed charge of the school this morning. H served notice on the school that he would strive at all times to build up character. He spoke on that subject to his two audiences to-day, approach ing it by a means that went right at the heart of the school boy and girl bv school spirit. He admitted that it wan hard to keep the spirit up to the proper notch when the student body is divided in two, such as in compelled tby the two-sessiou plan at Central High. He took up but three sub divisions under his topic of character building, concentration, mediation and applica tion. He pleased the students when he suggested that forty minutes was enough to put on if the mind were properly concentrated. He urged punctuality, promptness, regularity end permanent application. • He referred 'briefly to athletics and urged the students not only to play the game because they loved it but to go in to win. While different in stature from his predecessor, the late William S. Steele, yet his manner of speech re minded his listeners of Prof. Steele so much that they remarked about it. Mr. Dibble will remain here for two weeks, when he will be compelled to return to Lambertville, N. J., for a short time. GOVERNOR APPROVESNEW MOVIE CENSORSHIP PLAN (.'•■tinned From First Page. two censors and a fee of $2.50 for ex amining film, is repealed. The bill repealing the cold storage act of 1913 is vetoed by the Govern or, who says that "to repeal the pres ent law would be to leave the people without protection from unwholesome food and with no safeguard against fraud and deception in the sale of cold storage food and fresh food. Only harm and confusioi would follow. If the present law is, as alleged, not what it should be, the plain duty is to amend it and make it right. To repeal it is to shift the alleged unfairness from the dealers to the people. Two wrongs do not make a right. The Common wealth is anxious to foster, to protect, to encourage all legitimate activity of its merchants and other business men, but it is in a comanding way deter mined not to permit knowingly any harm to come upon its people. For these reasons the bill'is not approved." "Divorce Too Easy Now" The joint resolution providing for the appointment of a committee to re port on the feasibility and advisability of a ship canal across New Jersey to connect Philadelphia with the Atlantic ocean is vetoed because New Jersey al ready has provided for the purchase and presentation to Congress of the necessary right of way and an alterna tive route would lead to confusion. Bo sides, the Governor says, there is no commanding reason for the expenditure of SIO,OOO "for a purpose of suoh re mote and doirbtful value." A bill authorizing Louis Gunvblner, of Philadelphia, to sue the State and recover an excess liquor license fee paid to the State is vetoed because, as the Governor says, "if he is to recover, why go through the formality of enter ing suit? Besides the suit ought to be tried in Dauphin county and not in Philadelphia to suit the convenience of the plaintiff," The bill directing city solicitors in cities of the first class to propose in advance plans of all highway improve ments is vetoed because the city should 'have the right to amend and improve its plans if its constituted authorities so decide. The bill empowering magistrates and aldermen to take affidavits in divorce suits is vetoed because the means of taking affidavits is now large enough "and it is all too easy now to secure a divorce," says the Governor. There fore the bill is "not in the interest of the homes of our people." Mine Safety Bill Vetoed The bill amending the act of 1911 providing for the health and safety of persons employed in aud about bitumi nous coal mines is vetoed for the fol lowing reason: "This 'bill changes the phrase 'to be placed ' to the phrase 'to act,' in an act relating to safety devices on trains at bituminous coal mines. No one can oppose any attempt to promote the safety of human life in industry; but it seems to me a waste of time and money to attempt to do, 'by a new law, what sane and sensible administration under existing law can do and do just as well." The bill providing for the appoint ment of a board of visitors for insti tutions caring for dependent, neglected or delinquent children is vetoed because it does not provide a method of appoint ment to such 'boards. "The bill is so loosely drawn," says the Governor, "and is so indefinite that it can produce only confusion and not constructive service." KILLS LONG HOURS FOR WOMEN Governor Vetoes Bill Extending Time for Female Employment The Governor to-day vetoed the bill fixing the terms of employment of fe males in hotels, boarding houses anil restaurants by changing the, week hours from 54 to 63 and the days per. week from 6 to 7. It also changed the age at wh'ch women may work at night from 21 to 18. The Governor calls attention tp the fact that the bill ."omits from the schedule the maximum and minimum hours of labor making its enforcement difficult and confusing." It also in serts the word "wilful" before "vio lations" and reduces the fine from S2OO to SIOO and omits the imprison ment clause in the present law. In vetoing fho bill the Governor says: "To tengthen the hours of labor for all female employes in the establish ments named is a serious matter. It is asked for on the ground of adminis trative necessity. It is opposed on the ground of humane treatment of women. In the last analysis the welfare of our people is the Supremely vital matter anil the Industrial Board is competent under the law to adjust, apy difficulties that are reasonably capable of adjust ment."

SICLER COMPANY GETS BIC CONTRACT FROM THE WEST Piano Player Plant at Derry and Car lisle Streets Is Working D»y and Night to Complete Unfilled Or ders The Sigler Piano Player Company, Carlisle street near Derry, has just closed a contract with one of the largest dealers on the Pacific coast for orders amounting to $120,000, it was an nounced this moroing 'by Charles E. Bard, vice president and superintendent of the company. The contract calls for the Sigler piano player, which can be put in any piano, in large job lots. The Sigler Company manufactures several types of player actions for manufacturers who use them in their own player pianos, but this 'big ■contract is for the "ada.pable" ac tion, the original product of the com pany. Mr. Bard announces further that sev eral other large contracts have 'been closed with dealers throughout the East and (Middle West since the company moved into the new factory on the Hill. The factory has been entirely sys tematized and equipped, according to the superintendent, for an output ex ceeding five thousand actions a year. There have been some delays, says Mr. Bard, in filling orders on account of the work of organization at the fac tory, but now that this work is fin ished, the plant is working day and nigtoj completing unfilled orders and in getting out samples to be shipped to the piano manufacturers' convention at Chicago, which is being held this week. C. M. Sigler, the president of the company, is now in Chicago at the Auditorium hotel, exhibiting the com pany's products to the trade. The Sig ler line now includes three separate and distinct types of piano player actions —the original "adaptable" for use in an ordinary piano in the customer's home; a "single valve" action for the player piano manufacturer, and a "double valve" action for the same field. MAJOR SMITH AT DERRY ST. Anti-Saloon Speaker Asserts That Em ployers Should Be Abstainers In his address at the ©erry Street United Brethren church yesterday Ma jor Dan Morgan Smith, of the Anti- Saloon 'League of America, said in part: "The employer wants men who will 'be as surely at work on Monday as on Saturday; men w'ho will not maim themselves or others 'because befuddled by liqi\or; men who will do and can do an honest day's work and he ought to be willing to pay an honest day's Wage for it! Maybe if the bosses quit drink ing champagne, they would be better employers, may be they would pay bet ter wages, maybe they would require shorter hours, for sobriety is as bene ficial to the boss as it is to the work man, and while the railroad directors are insisting that the train crews should remain away from the saloon, they should insist that the railroad president remain away from the wine bottle; I am unwilling to risk my life 'behind a drinking train crew and unwilling to risk my money in the hands of a drunken railroad president." SUFFRAGISTS TO PROVIDE FOOD ON GOOD ROADS DAY Continued From First Pnxe. as a State-wide Good Roads Day, and has called upon men, women and chil dren to help. As all suffragists are deeply interested in the development of Pennsylvania, this opportunity to co-operate in the improvement of the State will appeal to all our women. "The State Highway Department suggests that the best way for the women to help is in providing lunches for the workers along the highway. Will you please appoint a committee to confer with the township roads su pervisors as to how to best co-operate in your immediate locality! "The State Highway Department further says: 'You needn't cook a great Ibig dinner; you n«edn*t make a market basket full of sandwiches; you needn't brew a dozen gallons of tea or coffee. But you can furnish a ham, several loaves of bread and buckets of cool spring water with dippers in them and you and the children can carry this to the nearest point beneath the shade trees along the road at the noon hour and call the workers from their toil to partake of refreshments.' " The Pennsylvania Wftman Suffrage Association has active local organiza tions in every county in the State and suffrage headquarters here Bay it is confident there will be a big response on the part of the women to the call for co-operation on Good Roads Day. MORE AUTQISTS ACCUSED OF BREAKING JAFFIC LAWS Continued Front Klrat Pave. car while the car was discharging pas sengers and rounding a wagon in the Market street subway. Captain Thompson is of the opinion that the traffic ordinance is not quite rigid enough to regulate the passenger carrying jitney, but it will serve the purpose until some pl&ns can be made for a stricter ordinance. "Police regulations would not amount to much," said Captain Thomp son, "unless enacted into law, for no prosecutions could be made for violar tions of the police regulations unless a City ordinance backed them up. If the enforcement of the traffic ordinance does not suffice, I may prepare a code for jitneys, to submit to the City Com mission." There were flagrant violations of the law by jitney drivers at the market houses Saturday, according to the po lice, due to the rivalry of the drivers to get passengers. The police say some jitney drivers have grown so bold as to stop in the center of Market square, just outside the "isle of safety," to drum up passengers, in violation of the traffic ordinance. which says convey ances must stop at the curb. Postpones Union Trust Climb The weather did not suit "Crazy" Jack who intended to scale the out side walls of the Union trust building at 4.30 o'clock this afternoon, and he decided to try his stunt to-morrow aft ernoon instead.

IS IB LIST fOR bEGjSLATURE Senate and House Will Assemble To-night Withlntention of Ad journing Thursday FOUR DAYS OF STRENUOUS WORK Workmen's Compensation Bill Will Likely Be Passed for a Form En tirely Satisfactory to Governor— Full Grew Hearing on Wednesday The business of the closing week of the Legislature will begin this even ing and it is expected that by Thurs day noon the gavel in both houses will fall to announce the sine die adjourn ment until 1917, unless before that, year Governor Brumbaugh shall call "the law-makers back in special session. The Senato and House both realize that in the next four days there must be hard work all through the program, al though there are not many bills of great general importance" remaining to be taken up. Both houses will meet to night at 8 o'clock. In the Senate there will bo some thing doing on Workmen's Compensa tion legislation. That bill is in the hands of the Committee on Corpor ations and it is all ready to be reported out to-night, but before iloing so Chair man Crow desires to submit it to a meeting of the committee. The amend ments made to it, so far as can be as certained after a careful examination, do not change the general tenor of the measure at all, and are meant more clearly to bring out the ideas in the bill. Governor Brumbaugh insisted strongly on no changes being made in the bill to alter its meaning, and his wishes have been respected. The Senate will also have revenue bifls to look after, but as yet they have not been received from the House. It will take but a short time to dispose of them. The elections bills are slum bering in the House and it is said that there is a disposition to let them con tinue to slumber, as the House shows no disposition to make any changes from existing laws except to adopt a measure that will give the Republican party first place on the ballot. The bulk of th e work this week will be on conference committee reports mado by .joint Senate and House com mittees where disagreements exist. On Wednesday afternoon Governor Brumbaugh will give a hearing on the Full Crew repealer, already passed by both branches. Friends and opponents of the bill will be heard. But few bills remain in the Gover nor's hankfa tlmt he is required to dis pose of before the beginning of the ten-day limit, and after he has passed on them he will have thirty days from the expiration of the session in which to dispose of bills passed in the last ten days of the Legislature.

ALL ITALY IN STATE OF EXCITEMENT Cntlsw4 Pram Klrat Pt(C. baldi and was shot down by the Aus trian*. < An endless procession of enthusi astic Romans marched from one end of the square to the other- and 'back again under a shower of flowers thrown from the houses along the way. There, were extraordinary demonstrations at the home of Premier Salandra, the war office, the royal palace and at ttia consulate where it was thought the grtm visage of Sonnonio, the Foreign 'Min ister who has been implaoable in his demands upon Austria, was seen behind a window. Rome's great demonstration of re joicing at the solution of the minis terial crisis by the retention in office of the so-called "war cabinet** was echoed on a smaller scale in hundreds of cities and towns throughout the kingdom. Everywhere was evident on the part of the people a desire for war with Austria. 47 Women Killed, SOO Injured Rome, May 16. 9.50 P. M., Via Paris, May 17, 1.20 A. M. —A revolu tion has broken out at Triest, accord ing to a message to the "Idea Nazionale" telegraphed from the fron tier. A crowd, composed chiefly of women because most of the men have been called to the colors, invaded the square on which faces the palace of the governor, Baron Friesseekin. The wom en cried "Death to Francis Joseph. Down with Austria;" 'burned an Aus trian flag together with a portrait of the Emperor, and attempted to attack the palace.

Lamp posts were torn up and the 'signs of tob baconist which bear the Austrian coat of arms 'because their business is a government monopoly, were destroyed. The "Idea Nazionale" dispatch states that 4 7 women were killed and more than 300 injured. FERARI SHOW ARRIVES Carnival For Firemen's Benefit Will Be On Grounds To-night Beady For Business Several thousand persons greeted the 'big Ferari show special train upon its arrival here yesterday afternoon and another thousand were at the grounds when the first heavy circus wagou arrived. Many remained until the wee small hours of the morning in terestingly watching the systematic unloading of the wagons aud the foundation of the gigantic " Pleasuro Plaza" that will contain enough high class amusements to satisfy the wants of all the amusement loving public of Harrisburg and vicinity. Members of the Veteran Volunteer Firemen's Association are highly pleased with the artistic showing al ready made by the well known and propular Ferari shows and they prom ise each and every show connected with this enterprise will be in full operation to-night. Nothing will be left in the cars. Oriental dancing girl ex hibitions and shows that characterize so many carnival companies and remain in the cars when the shows play Hiar risbung, is not the case with this or ganization. Only extraordinary high | class shows are or ever were tolerated by the Carnival King, Jos. G. Ferari, and this policy was an important step toward gaining the Carnival King title for him and winning the "America's Representative Carnival Organization" for his shows. » All carnivals have a merry-go round, but the one at the firemen's carnival located at Third and Rei'ly streets, must Ibe seen to be appreciated. A giant ferris wheel, razzle dazzle, dog and pony show, musical comedy, Hawaiian village, international athletic arena, that girl, Minnie Ha-Ha, con gress of living wonders and numerous others are but a part of the sights to be enjoyed. Strictly speaking this is a free car nival, while a small admission fee is charged to the shows individually, there are free acts, music and a world of novelties where a person can spend an afternoon or evening without send ing any money whatsoever. Promptly at 4.30 and 10.30 daily, Lofty Rochett will offer a sensational free exhibition that eclipses all at tempts at previous out door events. The firemen have extended invita tions to all newsboys to attend as their guests Tuesday night and all orphan children Thursday afternoon.

URGED TO RETAIN GAITHER Governor It la Believed, Will Act Soon on Commission Appointments That some action will be taken at once by Governor Brumbaugh in the matter of the appointments made dur in the recess by Governor Tener and now in possession of the Senate Com mittee on Executive Nominations, was intimated on Capitol Hill to-day, and it was said that this action may be taken when the Senate meets this evening, or at least at to-morrow's session. Governor Brumbaugh himself is very reticent concerning what he proposes to do. Some time ago he recalled from the Senate the nominations made by Governor Tener, olj the members of the Public Service Commission, and it is by no means certain that he will re appoint the entire seven. Much pressure has been brought to beaT on the Governor to retain Walter H. Gaither, and it is by no means cer tain that he will be dropped. He served as Governor Tener's private secretary and, as has been the custom, was ap pointed to a place as have been former private secretaries. He has had a long experience as a newspaper man and in public affairs. Of the other appointments made by Governor Tener, it is thought that none will be disturbed by Governor Brum baugh.

Dealings were fairly large, but with out spectacular feature. U. S. Steel was the only stock to show unusual ac tivity at the opening, a block of 4,600 shares being offered at 52 1-2 to 53 against, last week's cloee of 51 3-8. Initial gains were followed by slight recessions, resulting mainly from sell ing for profits. This condition in turn gave way to yet a higher 'level for some of the leaders, notable steel.
