PENITENTIARIES
PLAN ADOPTED
.
Upper Branch Votes in Favor of Con-!

Amendments Pass
■
.
The session of the Senate last night
was one of the liveliest held this year,
the approaching windup evidently hav-!
ing set the Senators on edge.
The %st thrili of the evening was
when the special order for the consid
eration of the "equal rights bill" was
reached, it being on final passage. This
bill guarantees equal rights to all, re
gardless of race, creed or color, in all ;
places of accommodation or amusement. ;
it had been hanging 'by the eyelids for J
some time in the Senate, the evident j
intention 'being to let it die, but its
progenitors were too smart for the op
ponents aiul succeeded in having a spe
cial order fixed for its consideration on
final passage in the Senate at 10.30 last i
night.
Early in the evening the Democratic j
Senators held a caucus to decide how
they would vote, but took no action as {
Senators Hilton and Stewart gave no-1
tice that they would not be bound by a
caucus decision.
Senator Washbcrs, who presided at
the caucus, decided that unless all were
bound 'by the decision of the caucus
it was useless to take a vote, so the
caucus adjourned. When the bill was
taken up in the 'Senate a large delega
tion of colored men was present, but
there was no talking for or against the i
bill. It passed finally by 33 votes to j
11 against it.
Shortly after the equal rights bill j
was disposed of the Walton bill relat-j
ing to third class cities, prepared by |
the State City Solicitors' Association
at its recent meeting in IHarrisburg,
the companion of a similar bill killed
in the Senate, came up on final passage, j
This is the bill familiarly called "the
third class city bill,'' as it has been ]
so drawn as to smooth out kinks in the
original Clark bill.
Cities Bill Passes Finally
When the measure was read Senator '
Beidleman moved to have it sent back '
to the committee on Municipal Corpora-j
tions for amendment. Very strenuous j
objection was made to this bv Senator j
Clark, the author 0 f the original bill.
After some discussion the Beidleman j
motion was defeated by a viva voce
vote and then (Mr. Beidleman moved J
that the Senate go into committee of i
the whole for general amendment of the j
bill. Senator Clark opposed the motion I
and it was defeated. The bill then |
passed finally and now goes to the Gov-1
ernor.
At 11 O'CIOCK the Kast and West
had a small tournament over the bill J
for the consolidation at the new pen-1
itentiary in Centre county of the West
ern and Eastern penitentiaries. The
Centre county institution will take the
place of the Western institution, but the
object i„s to 'bring the two penitentiaries !
together for the benefit of the prisoners, |
who will have a 'big farm on which to !
work, plenty of opportunity to get fresh j
air and, it is contended, become better !
citizens. The passage or the bill nieant j
the doing away with the Eastern peni
tentiary in Philadelphia, anil Senators
McNic'hol, Daix, ißuckman, Salus, Par
ley and Vare made vigorous opposition
to the bill's passage, while 'Senators!

Crow, Thompson, Clark and others spoke
in beljttlf of the plan. Both Warden
McKenty, of the Eastern penitentiary,
and Warden Francies, of the Western
penitentiary, were in the Senate cham
■bcr when the bill passed finally by 33
yeas to 11 nays.
Compensation Bill Reported
About 1 o'clock this morning Sen*
ator Crow reported from the Commit
tee on Corporations tho Workmen's
Compensation law as it had been amend
ed in a few minor particulars by the
administration. Before reporting tlie
bill Senator Crow called a meeting of
the comqiittee to learn whether there
were any other amendments proposed,
'but there was none, and it seemed to
be the idea to offer any amendments
to the bill when it is under discussion
in the Senate on third rending, as was
attempted with the child labor bill.
COLD STORAGE BILL IS
REVIVED IN THE HOUSE
The «•( Id storage bill one of the so
' ries drafod by he Commission on Uni
| form Legislation ivas taken fro u the
I Judiciary General Committee if the
j House last nigut and p;>»st-d ior i!n
first time after a lively debate.
' A motion to discharge the committee
from consideration of the bill was made
i by Mr Baldwin, of Delaware, who ecu
tended that it would correct defeats in
the present law since the Governor had
vetoed the repealer of the law of 1913.
W. ill. Wilson, chairman of the commit
tee, sai<l that in his opinion the bill
had been so changed in the Senate that
it uas unfair.
The committee was discharged by a
| vtite of 93 to 86 and objections were
j made when first reading was asked on
j the bill and the rule governing that or
der of business was suspended. The
bill was put on the second reading cal
endar of the House for to-day.
Efforts to send the Senate bill to
j peimit women watchers at the polls
I this November failed after a roll call
j was forced. Mr. Stern, of Philadelphia,
| who made the motion, said that, it had
j been considered in the Judiciary Gen
eral Committee and should have gone
ta the Elections Committee. Advocates
of suffrage who were in the hall ap
plfl'ded when the vote was taken show
ing the motion to recommit defeated by
a vote of 97 noes and 77 ayes.
Election Bills P.eported
Three of the series of election law |
amendments were reported out in the
House last night by the Elections
Committee. One of the bills prevents !
i independent nominations by papers; an- j
i other prohibits withdrawals of candi- j
j dates after nominations are made, and i
a third prohibits the pre-emption of'
| party names after primaries.
Two other election bills reported out J
1 in the House provide that when a can ;
: didate for Judge receives 51 per cent.
: of the vote he shall be considered elect
i ed, and the other amends the second
i class city election law.
The Beidleman bill providing for a
J bureau of elevator inspection in the j
i Department of Labor and Industry is
I dead. An effort was made to reeon
' sider the vote by which it was dropped j
j from the calendar, but the motion fell |
jby a vote of 68 for and 90 against. i
The iHouse passed the Republican or- j
ganization bill which takes first place j
lon the ballot away from the Democrats I
by amending the election law so that
thi' result of the previous general elec- j
ton and not the Presidential election!
! shall be used in establishing the places ,
lon the ballot. The vote was 128 ayes!
[ and 51 noes. The House Democrats op- j
I posed the bill.
Stock Transfer Bill Passes
The administration stock transfer j
bill was passed by the House by a vote |
of 159 to 25, after the members had j
sustained Speaker Ambler in his ruling I
j that the bill was not similar to one'
defeated several days ago.

DEALERS BEG REO SALES
MANAGER FDR MORE CABS
Trainload to Minneapolis Gives Oreed
for Three More Carfuls—Material
Breaks Through Floor of Factory,
Says Robert Rueschaw
" When a dealer says ph>ase niul nth
<r nice things to the sales manager nf
an automobile company, there is oniv
one conclusion to be drawn and that is
Ilia- the dealer wants cars and wants
ba<llv '" saul laughing
Kobert Rueschaw as he showed tins tele
'.am .lust received from the Minneap
olis distributor of Reo ears:
"Please, dear Mr. Sales Manager
won t you shi]> Minneapolis six extra
carloads Reos, any model Reos, just so
long as they c.re Reos. Nad soon,"
raw keg Auto Com pan v.
"That's a sample of 125 telegrams I
receive, 011 an average, every day—
only thov are not all so "sweetly worded
as that one. They run the gamut all
the way from swear words to pet
phrases—mostly swear words or other
language that might as well be, since
their meaning is clear.
"Factory running to capacity and
beyond, for we have had an extra night
shift 011 for several weeks. So each
dealer is getting his full quota accord
ing to his original allotment. But. the
cry is tor more—just a few extra car
loads. And they never are satisfied—■
why, Minneapolis got a trainload only
last week.
"It is most gratifying and at the
same time most trying to the poor sales
manager. It taxes his ingenuity ami
his integrity to the limit to keep all
dealers satisfied and to keep them feel
ing that each is getting just the same
treatment as all others. Some of them
won't believe that and so quite a per
centage of the telegrams are accusa
tions of partiality, while others are in
the nature of bribes to sentiment.
"We are going like a house aflre,
though, and we hope to catch up soon.
Material is piled up so high 011 the fac
tory floors that it broke through in two
places last week That material is go
ing through the machines just as fast,
as possible, considering always quality.
More machinery has been installed,
more men put to work and we are do
ing our level best to make enough Reos
to go round.
"Nice telegram that from Fawkes—
believe T will try to squeeze out three
extra carloads for him. That will case
Minneapolis up a bit, even if it doesn't
wholly satisfy its hunger for Reos."
