ii After attempting to arouse her hus
band's jealousy by threatening to send
"l'ake love letters" to an old sweet
heart, Mrs. Leroy Colgate this morning
declared to Judges Kunkel and Mc
" Carrell that she was unable to sway
, Colgate from his hobby of remaining
out at night and otherwise neglecting
her. The wife was suing on a charge of
non-support. So long as she continued
to livo with her husband, she declared,
he persisted at times in "fighting
i with me and choking me."
! When young Colgate trtyd to prove
' that his wife was serious when she
i "wrote a letter directed to a Philadel
' phian," Judge McCarrell said:
[ "That is ,iust one way of looking at
, it. To our view the wife, in her de
-1 sire to have her husband do better,
wanted to make him understand that
<he wucn 't the only pebble on the
beach.''
Colgate's parents, the wife sai-i, are
» caring for the young couple's four
months-old baby and refuse to turn it
t over to her because she left it at the
' Colgate house and declared she was not
, able to support the youngster without
• the assistance ot' her husband.
' "They'll give that baby over to the
' wife or else,"' remarked District At
• torney Stroup, " I will at once insti
' tute habeas corpus proceedings ' and
, have the court make an order giving
• the wife the child's custody."
J Colgate's lawyer pleated that the
youthful husband had done his duty
• and said he now is willing to live with
' his wife, but Judge Kunkel quickly
• remarked'
• "He showed no attachment for his
. wife after I hey were married and she
• liail to get out an attachment warrant
, for him.
' Pending the determination of the
*uit for the baby's custody the court
, directed young Colgate to pay his wife
*s4 a week. Judge McCarrell intimat
,>d that the amount will be increased
. if the mother gets back her baby.
When Judge Kunkel, in another case,
I told Thomas C. Keil that he had not
proved himself to be a man, a father or
n husband, the defendant suddenly de
jcidcd to agree to pay Mrs. Keil $35
a month for the support of herself and

NEW PRINCIPAL IN CHARCE
OF CENTRAL HICR SCHOOL
Prof. Howard G. Dibble Meets Student
body In Chapel Exercises To-day—
Spoke on School Spirit As a Means
to Character Building
Prof. Howard G. 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."

"The State Highway Department

Will you please appoint a committee

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

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,

Workmen's Compensation Bill Will

Full Grew Hearing on Wednesday
The business of the closing week of

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

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

On Wednesday afternoon Governor
Brumbaugh will give a hearing on the

both branches. Friends and opponents
of the bill will be heard.

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.
The governor ordered gendarmes to
charge the -jrowd and the women re
tired, fighting stubbornly. 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. Special
entertaining committee is making ex
tensive plans for the care and amuse
ment of the little folks.—Adv."
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.

cold winds.
FINANCE
PRICE RECOVERY RESUMED
AT OUTSET OF THE TRADING
Dealings Fairly Lt[|l But Without
, Spectacular Feature—U. S. Steel
Only Stock to Show Unusual Ac
. tlvlty at the Opening
By Associated Prom.
New York, May 17.—Wall Street.—
Last Saturday's price recovery was re
sumed on a broad and general scale
at the outset of to-day's trailing, stand
ard shares gaining 1 to 2 points, while
war specialties rose 3 to 7 Bethlehem
Steel making the greatest advance.
Trading rejected confidence in a satis
factory adjustment of impending inter
national complications, London 's mar
ket for our shares showing firmness.
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. Spe
cialties, however, failed) to retain more
than a fair share of their advance
Bethlehem Steel, for instance, yielding
3 points. Trading slackened before the
end of the first hour, becoming almost
stagnant by midday.
