TIVES. Without questioning the right of
the House of Representatives to re
ject the hill providing for an In
crease In the pay of the officers unci
men of the State Contabulary, an
examination of the reasons advanced
ky the opponents of the bill dls
doses prejudice and a want of accur
acy In statements of fact whereon op
position was based. The principal
reasons advanced on the floor against
the bill, according to the House
Journal, Volume 1, Session 1911,
Pages 927-935, were:
1. That It seems designed to pro
ride an easy berth for the officers.
2. The Constabulary was created
of pay.
3. The Constabulary was created
and exists for the purpose of pre
Tentlng the strikes of worklngnien.
4. Economy.
5. Unpopularity of the force
among workingmeu.
6. Unpopularity of the force
among farmers.
7. The Constabulary Is unneces
sary, the character of its members
is open to attack, and It Is a cause
rather than a preventive, of riots.
The first, which seems to have
fceen a shaft aimed primarily against
Superintendent Groome, becomes ri
diculous In view of the fact that the
Superintendent is financially inde
pendent of his salury and could not,
it Is probable, constitutionally take
advantage of an Increase authorized
while he was In office.
Troopers Ill-Paid.
As to the alleged sufficiency of
the present rate of pay, the argu
ments for the increase, set forth
in the 1909 report of the Superin
tendent to the Governor, are force
ful and logical, and certainly are not
et by the vague statements and
incoherent abuse of the force which
remain of record on the pages of
the House Journal a conglomera
tion of wild charges without proof
or reason. The ancient and false ar
gument that the regular soldier is
paid 13 a month, and does 100 per
tent, more duty than the State po
liceman, was fully refuted on the
Hoor by Messrs. Gilkeson and Mc
Aleer. Arrests Ate Varied.
The charge that the Constabulary
exists to prevent strikes of work
ingmen is untrue. The records of
the Constabulary, (lied in Harris
burg and open to inspection, show
that of 3799 arrests in 1909, just
150, or less than 4 per cent, were
made during strikes. The records
ehow that every riot call has been
answered only after at least one,
and, often, repeated demands from
Mayor, Sheriff or District Attorney;
those calls are on file. The other
arrests, or over 96 per cent., were
for every crime on the statute
books, from arson to wife-boating.
In 1908 the force made 5028 ar
rests. In 1909 it made 3799, show
ing that as a result of the efficiency
of the force crime in the State de
creased more than 20 per cent. In a
single year. Of the 3799 criminals
arrested 2G13 were convicted, 440
still await trial, and 74G, or about
15 per cent, were discharged.
As to economy, tho increase de
Hired for tho first year would cost
the State just $46,300. In 1909
there was turned into the State
Treasury by the Constabulary in
fines, etc., the sum of $53,628. So
much for economy. It is an eccen
tric thrift that hampers effective
protection, anyway.
Force Not Unpopular.
The workingman of the type
whose strikes the courts recognize
need not fear the Constabulary.
Even worklngnien are glad to call
upon the force In time of need.
The force patrols the State, cover
ing about half a million miles in a
year; its 200 men protecting an area
ef 45,215 miles and 7,000,000 people
and they attend scenes of disorder
only when properly summoned. In
1909 the required number of men
were sent promptly in response to
54 calls from Sheriffs, 48 from
District Attorneys, S2 from Chiefs
f Police, 178 from constables, 612
from Justices of the Peace and
-thousands from private individuals
otherwise unprotected.

Sir Philip Sidney received his death

soldier who as be was being carried

these words; Thy necessity is greater

Estate Said to Be Worth $168,000,000
Is to Be Divided.
An echo of tho olden days of warring
knights and kings was wafted acros
the ocean, and that echo called back
to the old world one of the transplant
ed descendants of those knights In the
person of Henry Meinshausen of Chi'
cago when news came to him of the
settlement of an old family esrnt
and fyt the conditions by which he
might become a beneficiary, inciden
tally lie was advised that he is a mil
lionaire live or six times over and must
return to the service of the throne.
According to Mr. Melnshausen's story
of the legacy, ho is one of four broth
ers In America who are direct descend
ants of a line of fighters that can be
traced back to the year 1100 and whosi
name appeared among the crusaders
who went with Barbarossa to Jerusa
lem In the holy wnr of that year. t
One of the descendants in recent cen
turies went to Russia and, being a phy
sician of prominence, became court
physician to' tho czarina. In recogni
tion of his services he wns given a
grant of valuable oil land, which nt
the time of his death In 1831 wns val
ued at $50,000,000. He died Intestate
and childless, and the government
since then has held the property pend
ing the finding of the direct heirs, and
now the holdings are vnlued at $108,
000,000. Tho American brothers are Otto
Meinshausen, Chicago; Gustav, Marlon,
Ind.; George, Cincinnati, O., and Wil
liam, St. Louis. A condition of the
legacy was that one of the members
of this branch of tho family must re
turn to the Imperial Russian service,
and ns Henry Meinshausen, now over
fifty years old, lias had military experi
ence both in Germany and the United
States, having been in the Third Unit

TUBERCULOSIS SUNDAY.
Two Hundred Thousand Churches Have
Been Enlisted to Observe It.
April 0 has been sot aside this year
as "tuberculosis day" and will bo ob
served in 200,000 churches in the coun
try in a manner similar to that of "tu
beculosls Sunday" in 1910, when over
4l),00(t sermons were preached on the
prevention of consumption. In the offi
cial nnnouncement of the occasion
made by the National Association For
the Study and Prevention of Tubercu
losis the lenders of the movement
state that they hope to enlist all of
the 33,000,000 church members in the
country.
In one respect tuberculosis day will
differ from tuberculosis Sundny of
1010. Instead of requesting the
churches to give to tho tuberculosis
?niiHe a special Sundny service, the
Nntlonnl association Is going to ask
this year that meetings at which tho
subject of tuberculosis and its preven
tion can be discussed bo held on Sun
day., April 30, or on any other day
near that dnte, either In the week pre
ceding or the week following.
The Nntlonnl association is planning
to gnther statistics from thousands of
ministers, showing how serious a prob
lem tuberculosis is to every church.
These figures will show among other
things the number of deaths last year
from tuberculosis In the church con
gregation, and the ways In which tho
pastors are called on to minister to
sufferers from this disease. It is
planned also to Issue millions of circu
lars and pamphlets on the prevention
of tuberculosis, both from the national
office and from tho headquarters of the
450 antituberculosis associations who
will co-operate In the movement.

Mr. Olmsted's Reply.
He has received from the Con
gressman a letter answering the per
plexing "question In this way:
April 4, 1911.
Mr. H. M. Carlln, R. D. No. 4, Box
40, Duncannon, Pa.
My Dear Sir: Your letter of Feb
ruary 27th was received just In the
closing days of Congress, when we
were sitting nights as well as days,
and I was unable to give It attention
at once, and it was laid aside and has i
just again been brought to my at
tention. The conundrum you submit to me
Is as follows:
"A's a married man; B's a mar
ried man; no relation to each other.
Now they have daughters; suppose
their wives die; now A marries B's
daughter; B marries A's daughter.
What relation would their children
be to each other of the said two
wives or the said two pairs? A
marries B's daughter; B marries A's
daughter. What relation would the
children be?"
To that conundrum I make the
following answer:
The question supposes that A and
B are each widowers and that each
has a marriageable daughter. A
marries B's daughter and B marries
A's daughter. We will suppose that
eacli couple thus married has a
daughter and A's daughter Is named
Mary and B's daughter Is named
Susan. The question is, What rela
tion are Mary and Susan to each
other?
A being the father of Mrs. B, will,
of course, bo tho grandfather of her
daughter Susan.
B being the father of Mrs. A. will,
of course, bo the grandfather of her
daughter Mary.
A, who is the father of Mary, is
also the father of .Mrs. B, but Mary
and Mrs. B, having the same father
are of different mothers. They are
therefore half-sisters. The daughter
of one's half-sister is one's niece.
(Weiss' Estate, 1 Montgomery Co.,
20.) Therefore Susan is the niece of
Mary.
B, the father of Mrs. A, is also the
father of Susan. Therefore, Mrs. A
and Susan are half-sisters. Tho
daughter of one's half-sister is one's
niece. Therefore Mary is tho niece
of Susan.
In brief, Mary Is the niece of Sus
an and is also tho aunt of Susan.
Susan is the niece of Mary and is
also the aunt of Mary.
If Mary and Susan had been boys,
say John and Henry, then John and
Henry would have been uncles of
each other and nephews of each
other. Or, had one been a boy and
the other a girl, then the boy would
be the uncle of the girl and also her
nephew. At tho same time she
would be his aunt and also his
niece.
Police Methods In Berlin,
Berlin is tho most strictly governed
city In the world, and a stranger will
be continually violating the ordinances
and regulations without being con
scious of bis offenses. But the penal
ties are not severe, and the policeman
who arrests you Is prepared to im
pose the Due on the spot Instead of
calling u patrol wagon and taking you
to the police station. You pay blm a
few marks, for which he gives you a
receipt, and within twenty-four hours
you must appear before the captain
in charge of that precinct and turn
In the receipt ns n check upon the po
liceman who has arrested you.
