OPPOSEREVOLUTIONARY MOVES
On Account of War Many Schemes Af.
fecting People of State Have Been
Abandoned—Will Not Hesitate to
Assist National Government During
Present Crisis.
Harrisburg, Pa., April 24 —Whatever
else may be said of the 1917 legisla-
ture, nobody can charge it with being
a hysterical body. On the contrary,
everything is being done with deliber-
ation and due consideratiod and at the
close it will be found that few, if any,
acts that will unnecessarily interfere
with the present order of things were
put through. Of course, the usual
quota of “freak” bills have been pre-
sented, but'these are not getting very
far. ‘
Naturally, the situation in the na-
tion is having considerable effect upon
members of the senate and house.
They are of the opinion that this is
no time for revolutionary legislation,
unless it be of a character to uphold
the government at Washington in its
«trouble with Germany. Many schemes
to change existing laws, raise money
and: enact statutes of general concern
to the people, which were part of the
legislative program, have been abany
doned on account of the war.
Pennsylvania wants to give the na-
tional government every aid and she
is looking to her senators and repre-
sentatives to do their share in passing
only necessary state legislation so
that the people will not be hampered
in extending their financial and moral
assistance to the president.
It is probable that as a result of the
war crisis a determined effort will be
made by the legislature to be more
liberal than ever with the state road
department. Good roads are needed
in war days. Artillery, infantry and
troops generally have to be moved
from place to place and improved
highways will expedite this important
work. To feed soldiers thoroughfares
must be made as perfect as possible
so that vehicles carrying food will not
be obstrueted or interfered with in
their trips to camps. a
A special appeal to counties to ex:
ert themselves in repairing county
roads will shortly be issued and the
legislature is expected to do its part
in seeing that state roads are given
every possible attention. a

MINT CAVE AW
Scarlet Pronosed Law Appears Too
Drastic.
Harrisbure, Pa. April 24—It looks
as if the lagic'atnre w'll n~t nass the
Scarlet mine c~ve bill, but instead put
through a measnre introduced in the
house by Representative Ramsey, a)
Delaware county. This new bill was
prepared by the Scranton board e)
trade, and though specific and strict
in its provisions, lacks the dras‘ic
tone of the proposed law backed by
the Scranton Protective association.
The Ramsey bill calls for the ap-
pointment of a special mine inspector
to supervise mining under public
thoroughfares and publie places. This
inspector is to be recommended by the
chief of the department of mines for
appointment by the governor and his
salary is to be the game as the present
inspectors. His sole duties will be to
inspect all mining and to prevent any
mining which shall endanger the sur-
face contrary to the provisions of other
sections of the bill. Mining will not
be stopped altogether, but in places
where the removal of coal would be
dangerous to surface safety, the oper-
ating company will be required to es-
tablish a reliable support.
CHILDREN ON FARMS
State Education Board Favors New
Idea to Help Crops.
Harrisburg, Pa., April 24.—That pu-
pils in the public schools who are over
twelve years of age and who stand
well in their classes should be permit-
ted to quit school in order to work
on the farms, is the stand taken by
thie state board of education, in a
statement issued. Directors are ad-
vised that it is within their province
to exclude such children from the pro-
visions of the truant laws.
In order that no question may arise
concerning the state appropriations,
which are contingent upon the length
of the term, the bill introduced in the
senate by Senator Jones, of Susque-
hanna, is being pushed as rapidly as
possible. The measure authorizes all
districts that may care to do so to
close their schools May 1 and stipu-
lates that they waive no appropriation
rights by so doing.
FIREMEN IN SMALL CITIES
Put ‘Under Clvil- Service by Catlin
Bill.’
Harrisburg, Pa., April 24.—Governor
Brumbaugh's approval is the only thing
necessary now to place firemen of third
class cities under civil service. The
Catlin bill extending civil service pro-
tection to firemen passed the house by
a vote of 161 to 4.
This is the first civil service bill to
pass the legislature in many years and
the only one affecting third class
cities.
TWO BIG EVENTS
ON SINGLE DAY
Negative Action on Suffrage
and Death Fonally,
RESULT CAUSED SURPRISE
Defeat of Whitaker Resolution on Suf-
frage Proved Bad Blow to Leaders
in Movement While Opponents Are
Jubilant—Random Notes Picked Up
Around Legislature.
Harrisburg, Pa., April 24.—Two of
the biggest happenings this session
of the legislature occurred on a single
day last week and in a negative way.
They are the defeat cf the Whitaker
resolution to submit woman’s suffrage
to the voters in 1920, and the Tomp-
kins bill for the abolishment of capital
punishment. Woman’s suffrage came
within three votes of carrying, but
capital punishment fell short twenty
votes of the necessary constitutional
majority. ]
Three members who would have vot-
od for suffrage had they been present
were detained at their homes because
of illness. They were Representatives
Brumbaugh, of Blair; Chestnut, of Ful-
ton, and McVicar, of Allegheny. A de-
bate lasting hours preceded the tak-
ing of the vote and the result came
as a distinct surprise to both suffra-
gist and anti-suffragist. Though lead-
ers in the movement against suffrage
fought hard, they privately expressed
themselves as not specially confident
of the outcome. Naturally the an
nouncement of the result filled them
with as much joy as it caused sorrow
and disappointment among those who
are constantly fighting for votes for
women.
Suffrage now cannot be voted on by
the people until the fall of 1921. To
accomplish this a resolution must
pass the 1919 and 1921 legislatures. If
the resolution is defeated two years
from now and passed in 1921, it will
mean that 1928 will be suffrage year.
Leaders in the suffrage cause were
caught napping, following defeat of
the resolution. Most of them left the
hall and at once opponénts moved to
reconsider the vote by which the reso-
lution was beaten. This was done and
the resolution then defeated for the
second time. As a bill cannot be con-
sidered more than twice the move of
the , antis” prevented a second attempt
to put through the resolution when the

NOTES OF THE LEGISLATURE
The Beyer bill allowing: full pay to

Governor Brumbaugh has vetoed the
bill to compel all state printing to car-
ry the union label. !
A bill to prohibit the manufacture of
cigarettes has been killed by a house
committee.
Railroad trainmen are actively op:
posed to the Miller bill te repeal the
full crew law. Members are begin-
ning to receive letters on the subject.

grable to do with the defeat of the
capital punishment bill. It changed

cate of the bill to an opponent.

ers to serve on election boards. At
present it is illegal for a teacher to
be an election offiGer.

A bill is now before the house to
standardize the size of anthracite coal
and the quality. It designates the
sizes that must pass through various
kinds of meshes.
Mayor Meals, of Harrisburg, who
served two terms in the house, died
last Tuesday. The house on Thursday
adjourned for the week out of respect
to his memory.
Suffrage leaders are placing the
blame for defeat of the Whitaker reso-
lution on the liquor forces. They say
that liquor lobbyists openly fought the
bill.
Adjournment of the legislature need
hardly be expected before some time
fn ‘June. On account of the war the
adjournment then will not be final,
but* a recess covering a month or six
weeks.
There has been a decrease of almost
two per cent in the number ‘of farm-
ers employing female household help
during the past year on account of
the'inability te secure farm labor, ac-
cording to the department bulletin.
The Snyder cold storage hill to
| change the 1913 act so as not to dis-
criminate against Pennsylvania dairy-
men and commission merchants, pass-
ed the senate the other day. It is
backed by the leading officers of the
state grange.
Election officers in Philadelphia,
Pittsburgh and Scranton will be paid
$10 a day, instead of $5, if the KI 1e
bill gets through. Originally the bill
affected the entire state, but the house
changed this to include only the three
elties ngmed.
KEYSTONE PARAGRAPHS
The Pennsylvania Railroad company
decided not to transform its valuable
truck and garden lands in South Hol-
lidaysburg into a baseball park and
athletic field for the use of its em-
ployees. Several days ago the com-
pany announced a gift of the lands
for athletic purposes. A delegation
of citizens waited upon the company
officials, protesting that they were
more interested in cheap vegetables
than athletics and the gift was ac-
cordingly cancelled.
Revenge is the motive upon which
the police are working in investigat-
ing the blowing up of the home of
John Heller at Coal Center and the
probable fatal injury to Mrs. Anna
Heller. The latter is in the McKees-
port hospital with both arms and legs
broken and internal injuries. Her
death is expected. Locked in the Coal
Center @olice station on a charge of
suspicion is James Stanko, a Russian,
of Coal Center.
The woman suffrage resolution
was defeated in the Pennsylvania
house through failure to get a consti-
tutional majority. The vote was 101
to 94. It requires 104 votes to pass
the ‘bill. The suffrage leaders an-
nounced that they would endeavor to
have the resolution reconsidered, in-
asmuch as if all members had been
present it probably would have passed.
A daring holdup was successfully
carried out in Erie when three
masked men forced entrance to a gam-
bling parlor on the second floor of a
house in East Twelfth street and,
with revolvers leveled at the twenty
men surrounding the tables, ordered
them to “back up against the walls
with hands in the air.” Not one of the
frightened players hesitated.
Governor Martin G. Brumbaugh hag |
taken no action on the resignation
handed him by O. D. Bleakley, elected
to congress from the Twenty-eight dis-
trict and who was fined $800 for viola-
tions of the corrupt practices law. The
delay has given rise to reports that
the governor will return the resigna-
tion, which would mean that Bleak-
ley could take his seat.
Between 14,000 and 15,000 persons
marched in a blinding rainstorm in
Harrisburg’s loyalty demonstration,
while 50,000 others turned out to
watch the procegsion. Hundreds of
foreigners participated, more than 600
Italians marching with their own
bands and flags, while Rumanians and
Serbians appeared in national cos-
tume.
Three members of one family were
electrocuted and three others severe-
ly shocked and burned as the’ result
of an attempt to repair a damaged
electric wire in the home of Henry
Lutz, McKeesport. The dead are
Henry Lutz, Alfred Hatcher, his step-
son, and Mrs. Minnie Zigmund, his
stepdaughter. ha
Thefts of dynamite from coal mine
stores in western Pennsylvania have
occurred with such alarming fre-
quency since the declaration of war
that United States District Attorney
E. Lowry Humes issued a warning
and a call to all mining companies to
provide more adequate protection for
their explosives.
McKeesport police seized twelve
rifles in a hall in McKeesport. The
hall was used formerly by a German
military society and drills were held,
according to the police, each week.
The act of the police followed the or-
der issued by President Wilson to
seize all weapons in the possession of
: aliens.

The bill abolishing capital punish-
ment in Pennsylvania was defeated in
the house. The roll call showed 83
for and 97 against the bill. The meas-
ure had previously passed the senate
and would have been signed by the
governor had it got through the house.
Gerl Kirkpatrick, aged thirty-three,
an engineer, was killed at the plant
of the Tiona Gasoline company at
Warren whn a compressor engine ex-
ploded. William Warren, another em-
ployee, was injured. Kirkpatrick
leaves his widow and two children.
The employees of the American
Window Glass company at Jeannette
have been granted a voluntary in-
crease of 10 per cent in wages, making
the highest wages in the history of the
glass trade. The advance affects
more than 1,000 men.
Ralph Brown, aged forty-seven, an
oil well shooter of Parkers Landing,
was blown to atoms when an explosion
occurred in his nitroglycerin maga-
zine. He had just entered the maga-
zine when the explosion occurred.

company was granted permission by

The American capital on Sun-
day extended a simple but heart-
felt welcome to ‘the British min-
ister for foreign affairs, Arthur J. Bal-
four, and the other members of the
British commission, which has come
to Washington, as Mr. Balfour himself
expressed it, “to make co-operation
easy and effective between those who
are striving with all their power to
bring about a lasting peace by the
only means that can secure it—name-
ly, a successful war.” .
Everywhere bunting fiew in the
light breeze, mainly the American na-
tional colors. The British Union Jack
and the French tri-color were in evi-
dence in many places, but the local
flagmakers had been unable to~ meet
the public demand for them.
The British commission announced
that its purpose in coming to this

possible effort against the common
foe.
Mr. Balfour, formally presented by
Secretary Lansing to President Wil-
son Monday morning, was the guest
of honor that night at the most not-
able dinner given at the White House
in a generation. During the ‘day he
was presented to Vice President Mar-
shall at the capitol, lunched with Am-
bassador Spring-Rice at the French
embassy, and received cards or calls
from many prominent persons.
The conferences so far, with the
enthusiasm that the people of the capi-
tal have shown and the courtesies and
cordialities extended by the officials.
have taken the British commission
completely by surprise. Mr. Balfour,
after three-quarters of an hour’s con:
versation with President Wilson, ¥e-
marked that his trip had been justi-
fied by that meeting alone.
President Wilson and Mr. Balfour
are known to have touched on the
broad phases of the situation in such
a way as to give each an insight into
the other’s personality and viewpoint
and to have established an atmos-
phere of confidence and concord be-
tween them. .
A guard of United States soldiers
surrounds Mr. Balfour constantly.
