Other Measures Being Considered.
Harrisburg, Pa., April 10.—Bills of
vital importance are now out on the
calendars to be voted on by members
of the two branches of the legislature
fn a short time. Tt i; expected that the
next ten days will bring forth addi-
t cual measures of g neral interest and
signs point to ever, legislator having
his hands full until the close of the
session. Many anticipate plenty of
night work in trying to keep up with
the oytput of the committees.
The general appropriation bill made
its appearance last week, but has
since been returned to committee for
necessary changes. In regards to de-
partmental appropriations a subcom-
mittee is at work looking into various
items and as soon as this investiga-
tion task is gotten through with the
two chairman, Buckman and Wood-
ward, will be ready to whip appropria-
tions into shape.
In addition to the bill to increase
the state police force, this week's
house calendar contained the Tomp-
kins bill to abolish capital punish-
ment which passed the senate a few
weeks ago, as well as the kindred
bill giving a jury the power to de- |
<ide whether the punishment in a first
degree case should be death or life |
imprisonment.
: Township Code.
The township code is also on the
calendar. This is of great concern to
the townships of the commonwealth.
It codifies into one general law the
hundreds of acts that have been pass-
ed affecting townships of the two
classes. This code was prepared by
the legislative reference bureau and
the object is to simplify township
Jaws, as was done in the matter of
borough laws two years ago. The
borough code is proving a great con-
venience to lawyers and officials of
such municipalities and it is believed
the general law covering all township
acts will likewise be of inestimable
benefit to persons interested in town-
ehips. Representative Siggins has in- |
troduced the township code.
Catlin’s bill giving firemen in third
class cities the benefit of civil service
went through this week and is now up
to the governor for his approval. An-
other Catlin bill regulating b-xi g
. contests has passed the senate and is
4n the house committee,
The equal suffrage amendment ' as
‘been reported out of committee with
an affirmative recommendation and is
Mow on the calendar.
Health Insurance Here.
Considerable attention has been at:
tracted among the members by t-e
bill presented by Representative J. J.
Dean, of Lawrence, to establish a svs-
tem of health insurance in Pennsylva-
mia. It contemplates state participa-
tion and was prepared after four years
of investigaton and study under tie
direction of the American Associaticn
for Labor Legislation co-operating
with the American Medic2l associati"n
and representatives of labor and indus-
try. This bill is being introduced in
legislatures this year.
The bill provides compensation for
losses due to sickness to all manual
workers and all others earning less
than $100 per month. It eovers any
sickness or accident not within the
scope of the workmen’s compensaticn
act. Benefits Include medical, surgical
and nursing attendance; medical and
surgical supplies; maternity benefl's
for childbirth; cash benefits for a max-
imum of twenty-six weeks in a year,
and a limited funeral benefit. The
state is to assume one-fifth of the cost
of insurance; two-fifths is to be paid
by employers and the remaining two-
fifths by employes. I.ocal mutual
health funds are created for the ad-
ministration of these benefits and are
to be under the joint control of the
employers and the insured employes.
Compensation Amendments.
The house committee on labor and
industry has reported favorably the
Woodward bill making a series of
emendments to the workmen’s com-
pensation act. They were prepared by
the labor organizations of the state.
“The most important amendment is in-
creasing the compensation from fifty
to sixty-six and two-thirds per cent of
the wages for disability. Another
amendment would start the payments
for disability at the end of the first
seven days instead of fourteen as at
present.
Another bill reported by the same
committee provides that the payment
for medical and hospital services
ghzll not exceed the prevailing rates.
This alen was introduced by Repre-
gentative Woodward.
Under ‘he terms of a bill offered in
the house by Representative Black, of
¥arrisbure, efforts will be made in the
future to reconcile the contending
parties in divorce suits.
The messure provides for the ap-
pointment of a proctor by the courts
of common pleas to act as an interme. |
diary in martial troubles. The prec
tor may be a man or a woman, wW00 |
ghall be paid $2000 a year, Assist
gnt may be appointed also. }

For Military Training and Other Mat-
ters Pertaining to Crisis Under Way. |
Harrisburg, Pa. April
Pennsylvania will be no laggard in the
matter of assisting the national gov-
ernment in the war with Germany was
shown by the introduction of a bill in
the senate and house calling fer an
appropriation of $2,000.000 for state
defense. Senator Buckman sponsored
the measure in the senate and Repre- !
sentative Woodward in the house.
SENATOR CLARENCE J. BUCKMAN
Senate Chairman of Appropriation
Committee.
It is known that the amount speci
fied in this bill does not represent the
exact financial contribution from
Pennsylvania. Within a few weeks
bills aggregating as high as $5,000,
000 will be presented for the same
purpose and probably passed without
any difficulty.
The bill as originally drawn gave
the governor discretionary power in
expending the war fund, but the plan
now is to create a board consisting
of the governor, auditor general, state
treasurer’ and, probably, representa
tives: from the two branches of the
legislature. They will supervise the
fund and take executive charge of the
work of placing Pennsylvania in the
front as an auxiliary to the govern-
ment at Washington.
Military Tralning In Schools.
Coincident with the offering of the
fund bills, committees were named to
investigate the question of military
training in the public schools. A bil’
to bring this about will shortly be pre-
sented and there is but little question |
of its passage.
There are several bills before the
legislature on physical training in the
schools. The advocates of these
measures believe that military train-
ing is too revolutionary a step and
feel that the same object can be met
by physical training. Indications are
however, that at this critical period
military training will be given the
right of way and a bill calling for it
sent to the governor for his approv-
In view of the probable necessity
of using the highways of Pennsylva-
nia for the transportation of troops
and war vehicles bills for certain road
appropriations are being vigorously
pushed.
Last week a bill appeared giving
insurance companies the right to do
insurance business in this state
against bombardment during a war.
Certain large munition plants desire
to take out this kind of insurance and
on account of restrictions in the law
are unable to do so.
So Soldiers May Vote.
Senator William S. McKee, of Alle-
gheny, who is colonel of the First field
artillery of Pennsylvania, presented a
bill which will provide a better means
for soldiers to vote at elections, while
In service. The bill provides that the
commanding officer of each company,
battery and troop unit, shall furnish to
the adjutant general the names, ad-
dresses and voting precincts of all sol-
diers in his command. The adjutant
general in turn is to transmit this in-
formation to the commissioners of the
respective counties. The commission-
ers must then prepare the ballo{s for
each election precinct in which sol-
diers reside and forward them to the
secretary of the commonwealth, who
is to forward them to the regiment-!
pommanders. Tae ballots must in
elude the names of all officers to be
voted for at such elections.
Many legislators participated in the
big patriotic meeting here on Thurs-
day evening and at which James W.
Gerard, former ambassador to Ger-
many, was the principal speaker. He
beseeched the American people to ex-
ert every effort in upholding the gov-
ernment and said in that way only can
the present trouble be brought to a
speedy and successful end.
The United States must enter the
war, Gerard declared, in order that
the door of hope may not be swumg
in the face of awakened Russia, in or-
der that the might of miliicrism and
despotism may not blight a movement

has overthrown the traditions of mor
| than a century and voted to adopt
| hmitation on senate debate. By a
|
{ vote of 76 to 3 the senate adopted a
rule imposing a modified form : of
cloture on the upper house. x
| The rule will clear the way for ac-
tion on President Wilson's demand
! for legislation authoriziag him to in-
stitute armed neutrality if the presi-
dent calls an extra session of con-
. gress. Recently the president de-
{ clared that unlimited debate rule in
| the senate would make the calling of
an extra session on the question of
| armed neutrality futile. :
The three senators who voted
| against the cloture rule were La Fol-
lette of Wisconsin, Gronna of North
Dakots and Sherman of Illinois, all
Republicans. The rule as adopted will
enable two-thirds of the senate to
limit debate on any measure to one
hour for each senator. :
The result of the vote was com-
municated to President Wilson at the
White House. He expressed his gratii-
fication, but no immediate announce:
ment as to the calling of an extra-
ordinary session was made.
Senator La Follette declared tL
when the power to free debate in the
senate is taken away “you let loose
forces that will be heard elsewhere
if not here.” He said congress in the
last three years had become a rubber
stamp for the executive.
“With this sort of rule and an iron
hand laid on this body from outside,”
he said, “with congress reduced in
the last three years to little less than
a rubber stamp, do you not think this
sort of cldoture would be pretty effee-
tive? Believing that I stand for dem-
ocracy, for the liberty of the people
of this country, I shall stand while I
am a member of this body against any
cloture that imposes a limitation on
debate in this body.” Lf
Senator Martin, majority leader, in
asking unanimous consent said that
bs so doing he had no desire to shut
off full debate. Senator Lodge, rapi
ing Republican of the foreign “rela
tions committee, said he hoped there
would be no objection.
Senator Sherman said he opposed
the cloture rule because it would be
only a question of time, if the one
proposed is adopted, until the power
of two-thirds to force cloture would
be so changed so it may be forced by
a majority vote. He read extracts
from President Wilson’s writings de-
claring that the unlimited debate in
the senate was of great importance to
its usefulness ag a legislative body.
Senator Owen, an advocate of abso-
lute cloture, said he would support
the change although he felt the ma-
jority should be able to pass legisla-
tion when it desired. The change
proposed, he said, is desired to pass
the armed neutrality bill and provide
for the existing “national exigency.”
MILLION DOLLARS BAIL
That Sum Demanded For Release of
Cuban General Gomez.
Bail for General Gomez, captured
Cuban rebel leader, was set at a round
million dollars.
No one has yet come forward with
this staggering amount of money to
permit release of the rebel chieftain,
and the prospect is he will remain in
Principe penitentiary pending trial.
Carlos Miguel Cespedes, a promi-
nent lawyer of Havana, who was re-
ported to have been killed in battle
at Placetas when ex-President Gomez,
the rebel leader, was captured, ar-
rived in Havana a prisoner. He was
wounded in the head. He has beer
placed in the Dragones prison.
Easter Fires. 3
The early Saxons used to light Easte
er fires on the hills in expression’ of
their joy. This custom only died out
in the early part of the nineteenth
century. It is only observed up to
this day in the “Woods of Teutobure
gum,” where on the eve of Easter Sums
day the fires are lit as of old.
Making Home Comfortable,
An eastern woman lecturer on intes
rior decoration says that imitation lace
curtains are in bad taste and rocking
chairs should be done away with. She
sounds like a woman who'd throw her
husband’s carpet slippers away and
make him smoke his pipe on the kitchen
porch.—Detroit Free Press.
An Honest Label.
A cynical minded gentleman was
standing in front of an exhibition of
local talent labeled “Art Objects.”
“Well,” be announced to the attend-
ant in charge, “I should think Art
would object, and I can’t say that I
blame her.”—Harper’s Magazine. -

WORLDS IN THE MAKING.
What Is Taking Place In the Great
Nebula In Andromeda.
We look today on the things of a
century, a millennium, ago. Light trav-
eling at the rate of 186,300 miles a sec-
ond requires more than four years to
come from the nearest star, perhaps
thousands and tens of thousands of
ears from the farthest; hence in every
case they are not what is, but what
was.
Thousands of nebulae have been dis-
covered in the heavens. The spiral pat-
tern of some few nebulae has long
been confirmation of the theory that
they are the real beginners of a solar
gystem. But there has recently come
in much evidence of the spiral charac-
ter of other nebulae that the conclu-
sion seems forced upon us that practi-
cally all are in a state of rotation and
are hence supplying the centrifugal
force to throw off the rings which roll
themselves up into planets revolving
about central suns.
When opportunity is given to look di-
bo]
rectly down upon a nebula there re-
sults startling evidence of its being
in rotation. There is no other way of
explaining its remarkable details of
structure. Some look like the propeller
blades of a motorboat; some are actu-
ally caught in the act of throwing off
rings which are seen condensing at
certain centers, rolling themselves into
planets, henceforth to travel around
their suns. The great nebula in An-
1 dromeda gives striking evidence that it
is working out another and a greater
solar system than our own. ‘
In short, it seems that in studying
the nebulae we are being admitted to
are permitted to watch the actual proc-
ess of turning out worlds. Nothing in
the heavens is better fitted to fill the
very soul with awe. As in the case of
the “fixed stars,” our lives are too
brief, too feeble our eyes, to detect the
actual motion.—Frederick Campbell's
“Suns and Worlds In the Making.”
: WAR CORRESPONDENTS.
: They Don't Have the Liberty Now
They Had In Former Times.
In his book, “Over the Front In an
Aeroplane,” the author, Ralph Pulitzer,
tells of the experiences and the treat-
ment of the press representatives in
the great European war. He says:
“The war correspondent does not buy
himself a motor, because if he did he
would not be allowed to use it. All he
buys himself is a railway ticket. When
it comes to motoring he is packed with
an assortment of fellow correspondents
into military autos specially assigned
by the army authorities.
“He does not buy a shelter tent or a
sleeping bag, because at a certain
scheduled hour every evening the staff
officer who has him and his colleagues
in tow: will lead him into an excellent
assign him to a comfortable bedroom
engaged ahead. He does not buy can-
ned provisions, because before going to
bed the officer buys him an appetizing
dinner, follows it up with a good break-
fast the next morning and at lunch
time introduces him to a courteous
general or at a pinch to another hotel
keeper, by one or the other of whom he
is supplied with a prearranged and ex-
cellent lunch.
“He does not buy a revolver, because
it would be gently but firmly taken
away from him if he did.
“If he is sensible he does not even
buy himself binoculars, for the officers
by whom he.will find himself uninter-
ruptedly accompanied will be glad to
let him use theirs, and, though he may
not look so picturesque without them,
he will be much more comfortable if
he has any hands and knees work to do.
“Finally he will not have a word to
say as to where he wants £0 go or what
he wants to see, for that has all been
settled in advance.”
KEYSTONE PARAGRAPHS
Governor Martin G. Brumbaugh of
Pennsylvania has wired President Wil-
son urging the enactment of prohi-
bition for the duration of the war.
The governor's office announced that
the action was taken at the suggestion
of Dr. Irving Fisher, a member of the
National Council of Defense. The
telegram was as follows: “I earnestly
suggest the enactment of a law declar-
ing prohibition during the war. Every
consideration of health and economy
warrant my making the suggestion.”
A call for all high school authorities
and colleges in the state to release all
students who have attained an aver-
age of 70 in their studies for service in
[the state agricultural army, was issued
in Philadelphia by the executive com-
mittee of the state committee on pub-
lic safety. It is recommended that
all students so released be given ad-
vanced standing when they return to
the institutions at the opening of the
{fall term.
Two persons were Kkilied and twenty

erators, has been settled, according to
announcement made by Louis Hicks,
manager of the Hicks coal interests.
More than 3,000 miners will return

Congressmen Enthused Over

WILSON SAID TO FAVOR PLAN
J
French Commissioners Want Ameri-
can Soldiers at Front at Once, Be-
cause of Moral Force.
The issue is now ‘believed to be
squarely before President Wilson as
to whether he will heed the appeal
from allied quarters that American
troops be sent at once to France or
whether, as members of the American
general staff would prefer, he waits

been organized.
Although the conference which took
place at the White House between
President®ilson and M. Viviani, head
of the French mission, has been sur-
rounded with safeguards of secrecy,
it is believed that the matter was con-
sidered at some length.
Not only does there appear to be at
present a wide divergence of view
between members of the army gen-
eral staff and many of the visiting
commissioners from abroad, but opin
jon is divided at the war department
itself.
Officers of the line and younger of-
ficers generally are understood to
urge that units be sent at once, if for
than to im-
press upon ile people a
realization of the fact that their coun-
try is at war and to inspire enthus-
iasm among recruits.
Older men of the general staff, it is
said, believing that modern war is a
matter of such tremendous complex-
ity, feel that no move should be made
until thorough preparation has been
made in advance, even though these
preparations may take a year.
That a demand in congress is likely
to develop at any time for the early
dispatch of an expeditionary force to
France is forecast from conferences
which members of the house and sen
ate are known to have had with mem-
pers of the French®commission.
Most of these members of congress,
it can bas stated, were decidedly op-
posed at first to sending a force across
in less than a year. When they left
the conference practically all of them
were enthusiastically in, favor of such
a course.
Marshal Joffre in an interview in
Washington said that France cherish-
ess the confidenjphope- that the flag
of the United States soon will fiy on
her battle lines.
Victories sure to be won by the sol-
diers of the two republics, once more
fighting shoulder to shoulder for lib-
eray, declared that hero of the Marne,
will “hasten the end of the war and
tighten the lines of affection and es-
teem which have ever united France
and the United States.”
It was just before the marshal and
other members of the French war mis-
sion started for a visit to the tomb
of George Washington at Mount Ver-
non that the marshal gave the inter-
view. :
At the grave of George Washington
at Mount Vernon the three great
democracies of the world united in a
pilgrimage of love and respect to the
shrine of the man who made democ-
racy possible.
Attended by ceremonies that were
magnificent in their simplicity, the
French and British war missions on
behalf of their governments, placed
memorial wreaths on the tomb of the
great American, which forever will
serve as a reminder to the American
people of the deep respect and admira-
tion which they hold for the father of
America.
The French war mission has in-
formed the American government that
the things France needs most from the
United States are money, food, fertil-
izers, coal, steel, oil and transporta-
tion equipment, especially ships in
which to carry goods from the new to
the old world.
One of the foremost purposes of the
French mission, revealed authorita-
tively for the first time, is to impress
upon the American government and
people the sericus food situation in
Europe. Members of the economic
section of the mission believe there is
serious danger of a world famine.

Heavy fighting continues along the
front in France, with the French and
English taking turns in pounding Le
erman lines. London and Paris re-
port slow but steady gains for their
men with the German resistance
growing more and more determined.
No gains of great strategical im-
portance have been made, but it is
known that only a few miles more of
advance by the allies will make the
Germans leave the country.
The extent of the Geran losses in
the fighting along the Aisne is dis-
closed in the reference in the official
statement to the capture of 130 guns,
of which a considerable number were
of heavy caliber.
The German losses in men are esti-
mated at more than 200,000, with the
probability that the total reached
235,000. These figures include killed,
one of the most formidable totals of
the present war. The number of Ger-
man prisoners aggregates approxi-
mately 20,000.
It was announced by the ministry
of munitions in London that the
British expenditure of shells of the
caliber of six inches and upwards dur-
ing the first week of the offensive that
opened on April 9, was nearly twice
that of the first week of the Somme
offensive last year, while the expen-
diture of such shells during the sec-
ond week was six and one-half times
that of the second week on the
Somme.
German destroyers attacked Rams-
gate, according to an official announce-
ment by the London war office. A large
number of shells were fired, but the
destroyers were driven off by the fire
from the land batteries. One man and
one woman were killed during the
bombardment and one man and two
women were injured. :
A further retirement of the Turks
in Mesopotamia for a considerable
distance north of Samara, recently
captured by the British, is reported by
General Maude.
A mighty battle has developed om:
the western front south of Riga and
along the Dvina river, the Petrograd
war office announced.
The Germans have been reinforced
in that sector and dispatches. from
headquarters indicate that the Teu-
tons have either started a big offen-
sive or are planning to do so immedi-
ately.
RAISE FOR MINERS
Central District Workers Reach Agree-
ment With Opeiutors.
A settlement has been reached im
the wage scale differences betwnen
the operators and miners working im
the central Pennsylvania coal fields.
Under the agreement the 10 per cent:
bonus granted at the first of the year
will be annulled. The miners will

the miners have contended for vears.
Great Loss of Vessels.
In the first two months of unrestrict-
ed submarine warfare shipping to the
amount of more than 1,600,000 tons
was sunk by the Germans, Dr. Kark
Helfferich, German secretary of in-
