ifor the first time siuce he wa- brought
Jfome following the accident, which oc
curred on July 3, last. According to
5J»e mother and her attorney the boy's

him to Harrisburg and called in a phy

J* The boy. aeeording to the family

The wound healed but the cuticle

Relieved that the one leg will perma

aside from local successes the attempts

will not remain inactive or despondent,

active and persistent efforts to rebuild

national race for supremacy that the

than ever before. From necessity will
spring thought and study and effort
that will enable the survivors to reach
greater heights of success than ever

universal that there must be estab

the adjustment of all future differences

The first formal business meeting of

j Tuesday next, by which time it in ex
-1 pectod that Governor Brufnbuugh will
1 have auuounced the appointment of 1
j chairman of the body, as ho is author
ized to do under the law. The name
of William A. Mngoe, of Pittsburgh,
j is mentioned in connection with the
; chairmanship, but there is some prob
ability of the reappointment of Sam
i uel W. Pennypaeker, the last chairman
of the old commission.
Governor Brumb.tugh's announce
ment to the commission, in his talk
with it on Tuesday afternoon, that he
expects it to be a working body all the
time, and that it will be expected to
I sit continuously, has led to speculation
; a< to whether the commissioners will
take up their residences in Harriebuig,
, but thus fur but one of their number
j has signified Ins intention of so doing
I —John S. Rilling, of Brio.

COYERNOR DARS CALLERS
WHILE WORKING ON BILLS
Goes Into "Seclusion" While Studying
Measures Submitted by the Legisla
ture —Believed Most of the Appro
priations Will Stand
Action on bills now in the Gov
ernor's hands will not bo announced lie
fore next week, the Governor now being
very busily engaged ith them. These
include the workmen's compensation
j series and the full crew repealer. The
j workmen's bill will probably be ap
| proved, but the fate of the full crow
repealer is unknown as the Governor
lias not indicated in any way what he
proposes to do with it. The fact that
, he will have no hearings on appropria
tion bills will greatly facilitate the
! work of disposing of them.
On Wednesday next Governor Britm
! baugh, Attorney General Brown and
' Chairmen Woodward and Buc.kman, of
the House and Senate Appropriations
Committees, respectively, will take up
i all of the four hundred appropriation
bills now in the Governor's hands and
they will be disposed of rapidly.
•The appropriations for the session
carry between $66,000,000 and $67.-
1 000,000, and all of the bills were gone
! over so carefully in committee, with
j the Governor's knowledge, that it is
I thought there will be very few, if any,
items vetoed. The Governor was kept
informed 011 almost every appropriation
bill by Chairman Woodward and al
: ready knows almost exactly what each
one carries, so that it will ho a matter
of but a short time for him to dispose
of them. He has, however, requested
the presence of the two chairmen in
I the event that there should be any hill
1 carrying a vague provision, in which
case he would ask that it bo explained
fully.
Chairman Woodward was here to-day
| but left for Barnegat Bay to spend the
1 week-end. There ho will tabulate the
' appropriation figures. Governor Brum
j baugh is so taken up with other bills
■ that he is practically inaccessible, and
j will not come "out of seclusion" until
he has all of the bills off .his hands.

the improvement was mainly in stoeka
of minor importance, leading issues be

ther recovery of a point and some of
the war specialties, coppers and motors,
rose small fractions, but these were
soon wiped out. Canadian Pacific was
again the weak feature of the interna
tional list, losing over a point, despite
its comparative firmness in l>ondon.
Among the more obscure industrials,
Harvester ■Corporation of New Jersey
declined over t points. The entire list
receded moderately soon nfber the open
i"K-
I ransactions in the first hour barely
aggregated 60,000 shares and of this
total five of the leading speculative fa

'l-iocal traction shares were almost the
only issues to retain their recent rise,
most other stocks falling fractionally
under yesterday's close level. Cana
dian Pacific extended its decline to 1 1 a

There was sonic short covering before
midday, which helped to restore prices
in America. Pool manipulation in mo
