or during his passiug through the streets, wherever he was seeu he became the centre of warm ovation from friends
and strangers alike. Always he smiled bis pleasure, for the demonstration proved not only the strength of our fight

SENATE RETURNS NAMES
AS GOVERNOR REQUESTS
The Senate lant night acceded to the
| request from "Governor Brumbaugh
that ii send back to him the apjioint-
I meats made during the recess bv Gov
ernor Tenor, in order that the Govern
or might look them over and see wheth
er they were just what lie required in
i the way of helps for his administra
tion.
j Following this action of the Gov
ernor, the Sen.ite took up all of the ap
j poiutments he hadv sent in up to that
i time and confirmed them. When Gov
ernor Brumbaugh first recalled the ap
pointments of the members of the Pub
lic Service Commission there were some
Senators who were disposed to resent
his action and intimated that they
would send the names back to the (iov
ernor if it suited them, and if it didn't
I they wouldn't. Then, when the Goveru
: or withdrew all of the names sent in
1 by Tener, the Senate began to sit up
| and wonder "where it w.a« at."
j came to the conclusion
' that the Governor had the whip-hand
of the argument, and last night when
| the Senate met, Senator Crow, chair
man of the Committee on Executive
Nominations, offered the following as
| coming from that committee:
| "Whereas, on April 15, 1915, Gov
i emor Brumbaugh presented a comniu
, iiii-11ion to the Senate, recalling the
nominations for members of the Pub
-1 lie Service Commission made by his
predecessor, Governor Tener, oil .lan
i nary 5, 1915, and
"Whereas, on May 17, 1915, Gov
ernor Bru inUfiugh presented another
communication to the Senate, recalling
j all the other nominations made by Gov
ernor Tener on January 5, 1915, which
j had not been acted upon by the Senate,
j therefore,
' "Not abating the rights or preroga-
I lives of the Senate in the premises,
I but believing it to be the sense of the
Senate that the return of these nomi-
I nations would effect a closer and more
harmonious relation between the Chief
' Executive and the officers who wiil fill
, j said positions, the Committee on Ex
: ecutive Nominations recommends that
5 all of said nominations be returned to
j his excellency as he has requested, out
of courtesy to the fiovernor's wishes,
and submits and recommends the fol
i lowing resolution for the approval of
the Senate:
"Resolved, That the chief clerk of
: the Senate be directed to return to
1 (Jovernor Brumbaugh the nominations
herein referred to."
There was no discussion of the reso
lution and it was passed by a unani
mous vote. The Senate at once went
1 into executive session and confirmed
] all of the nominations Governor Brum
baugh had sent in up to that time, in
cluding those of State Health Commis
sioner Dixon, Superintendent of State
Police Croonie, the new hoard of mov
ing picture censors, the new ibrigadi«r
j general of the National Guard and
; various minor appointments. It was in-
I tim'ated last night that all of the ap-
I pointments of a minor character, «uch
j as membership on boards and commis
sions. will again be sent in by Govern
or Brumbaugh in order that the credit
for the api>ointments will go to him.

Lower Branch Defeats Measure De
signed to Permit Them to Act as
Watchers Next November—Bill to
Let Mayors Succeed Themselves
An eleventh hour rally of its oppon
ents defeated the Walton civil service
bill, affecting Hnrrisburg and other
third class cities, in the House of Hep
resentatives last night. The bill lacked
but six votes of passing, the vote be
ing 98 for and 5 i against, 104 being
necessary for passage. The bill, after
having passed both branches of the
General Assembly and being sent to the
Governor, had been recalled for the
purpose of amendments and finally was
knocked out.
The Catlin Senate bill permitting
mayors of third class cities to succeed
themselves was passed in the House late
yesterday afternoon. There were but
eleven votes against it.
A blow was given to the cause of
woman suffrage when the Vare bill to
allow women watchers at the polls in
November was defeated by 88 to 99.
Representative Stern, of Philadelphia,
raised the point of order that the bill
was unconstitutional in that it permit
ted watchers who are not qualified
electors to be at the polls. The Speak
er referred the question to the House
and the point of order was defeated.
Afterward the hill was voted down,
however. A motion to reconsider was
made by Representative Aaron, of
Philadelphia, but it was voted down.
This killed the bill, as it cannot be
revived again.
The bill increasing the salaries of the
heads of the State Police Department
was defeated, as was another bill aim
ing to make a requirement for member
ship on the force one year's residence
in the State, instead of as present re
quirement of service in the United
States army. The Buck man bills, de
signed for the protection of bull frogs
and tadpoles, were dropped from the
calendar by almost unanimous consent.
The Senate bill providing that third
class city tax collectors shall collect
all taxes in certain classifications as to
population was dropped from the cal
endar. The House passed the Senate
bill amending the party government
act so that State committees shall elect
the National committeemen. An effort
to reconsider the defeated constitution
al convention bill was defeated. The
Senate bill giving eminent domain to
owners of mines and quarries for tram
ways, drains and ventilator shafts was
stricken from the calendar.
MRS. ROESSINO ( ALLS 99
REPRESEX TAT IV ES "U NFA IR''
IMrs. Prank LVI. Roessing, president of
the Pennsylvania Woman Suffrage As
sociation, last night made the following
comment on the defeat of the women
watchers bill:
"The House of Representatives, by
its defeat of the women watchers bill,
has given Pennsylvania the dubious dis
tinction of being the only Common
wealth in this country to refuse to pass
such a bill when the women asked for
its protection to assure a fair vote on
the suffrage amendment at the polls. All
other States where the question of
woman suffrage has been referred to the
voters have granted the women this
assurance of fair play without quibble
or delay. This was exemplified in the
neighboring States of New York and
iNew Jersey when the Legislatures of
both these States passed such bills as
the members of the Pennsylvania House
rejected to-night.
"We recognize, however, that this is
the action of only a few men and that
the thousands of men voters whom these
legislators profess to represent, will
show their love of fair play by so over
whelming a vote on election day that
a great victory will be accomplished.
'"Taken all in all, I feel that the
action of the House in defeating our
bill is a good omen. It tends to indi
cate that the interests who naturally
oppose woman suffrage are so fearful
that a majority of the voters will give
the women of Pennsylvania the ballot
this year that they have taken this
Aiethod to make victory as difficult as
possible.
"The defeat of the bill merely means
that our tight for fair play has begin.
We shall appeal from this unfair treat
ment at the hands of ninety-nine leg
islators to the thousands of voters
of Pennsylvania for justice."
SENATE IN EAKLY HOURS
MAKES MEKItY WITH SONG
The usually staid and dignified Sen
ate gave itself up to fun and frolic
for an hour last night and early this
morning. During that time all dignity
was thrown to the winds and mirth pre
vailed. It was during a recess and sev
eral of tlp> page boys, near the cierfts"
desk, began to sing. They sang well,
too, and the refrain was taken up by
several Senators nearby, and in a short
time quite a glee club had been formed.
They sang all of the popular songs.
The <rowd increased and the glee club
'became a chorus, with about a hundred
members in it, and the way they sang
was enough to make the electroliers rat
tle.
There were numerous solos, the Rev.
Thomas W. Davis, the chaplain, of Phil
adelphia, singing "The River Shannon "
and other songs in n clear 'baritone
voice. There was a duet by Senator
Crow, with a silver-toned tenor, and
Senator McNichol with a rich Milesian
bass. Between the singing there were
remarks from Senator Kline who con
ducted the revel, and finally Colonel
Davies, of Coaldale, a "coal baron,"
was made the presiding officer and fre
quently interrupted when he essayed to
talk.
When Senator Kline left the chair he
called on George .1. Brennan, the live
wire newspaper man from Philadelphia,

caster county yesterday that it had
been definitely decided that the amount
of money available for maintenance
and repair of State highways during
the*next two years will be $6,000,000.
Me Slid this will make it impossible
for the State to do any new construc

be barely sufficient to maintain the ten
thousand miles of highways comprising
the Sproul system.

Newtown Hamilton to Get Big New In
dustry, Based on War Orders
Lewistown, Pa., May 19.—The Etna
Explosive Company, of New York, has
purchased the John Westbrooke farm
at Newton Hamilton, 380 acres, for
$30,000, on which to erect a plant cost
ing $500,000 for the manufacture of
high explosives.
The plant will employ 100 men, and
it is believed here that it is to be util
ized in taking care of contracts recent-
