The bill was particularly Objectionable,
DR.. Warman went on to say, because It
throws out an inducement to families
to take children to board in preference 70
adopting them He cited the experience
Pennsylvania had had with such iaW'
tending to show that the children put out
by the State to board grew up without
any ties manifesting themselves between
the child and the family with whom II
was placed. The interests of homeless
children, he insisted, are far safer IN tne
hands of Christian gentlemen than IN
the hands of any State Board of Guar
dians.
The authors of the bill, the speaker
said, were frank enough to state positive
ly last winter that the object OF the Dill
was to drive the Childrens Home Society
out of business. The animus whlcn
prompted the bill, he said, ought 10 KIN

Rev NJ. T. Lamb, State Superlnteho-
ent of the Children's Home Society
made brief statement to impress upon
the minds of the committee the advanta-
ges offered by the adoption of chiidren
into Christian homes over the placing OF
them out to board under State super
vision. The families taking the children
simply for the pay in it, would have little
interest in them. No further hearings
on the bill are to be given by the House
committee.
The House judiciary committee gave
brief hearing on the Mungle anti-tradlns
stamp BILL Lawyer w. H. Jones, repre-
senting a number of manufacturers VINO
make it a practice to give prizes OF var
ious kinds with their products, SAID the
bill was satisfactory to such manufactur-
ers with the exception of one or two pas
sages, which were not clear enough. Inc
measure was submitted to some OF the
manufacturers before the introduction,
and as it was intended to exempt them,
he suggested a few minor changes in the
verbiage. which would make the measure
more specific The measure, he stated,
was aimed solely against the tradlns
stamp enterprises and he expressed muca
doubt as to whether it would stand con
stitutional test The Mungle Dill, MT.
Jones said, was much preferable to tne
Carroll bill. The latter was simply yoarS copy e

The rates in cities of the first class is
$50 per year; of the second class, $50, and
in all others, $40. The bill is in the in
terest of the nine local companies, which
have started in the State recently in op-

LAFAYET TE'S PARK.
Heppenheimer Tells Commit
tee Law is Unconstitutional
--Investigation Promised.

A committee of the Citizens Association
of Lafayette, consisting of Messrs. John
G. Heck, A. A. Campbell and julius Witt
PENN waited upon the Board of Finance
last evening to urge the location OF a
public park in that section of the city.
Mr.. Heck stated the object Of their visit.
President Heppenheimer remarked that
he did not think that under the present
law any more land for public parks can
be purchased, the Corporation Counsel
unconstitutional.
Mr.. Heck replied that the citizens OF
Lafayette spent all their efforts last WIN
ter to get an act passed which was
thought to be perfectly valid. 1t mad
been pronounced SO by the representative
of that district in the Legislature ana
others of legal ability, and he could not
understand why If the law is unconstltu-
tional it was not so declared before parks
were located in other sections.
Mr.. Campbell said if the law is uncon-
stitutional taxpayers should question the
right of the city to pay the interest on
the bonds issued for the parks that have
been located but he had understood that
the Corporation Counsel had said the law
is all right.
In reply to Commissioner Simpson
inquiry as to the site suggested for
park, the committee stated that the
people of Lafayette are unanimous in the
choice of the land at the head OF
Lafayette street where there are sixty
four lots. two entire blocks. These lots
are assessed at $225 EACH but would not
bring $500. The location of park at that
point would open up a territory now used
for garden purposes and bring that sec
ton into the market for Improvement.
Commissioner Simpson remarked, III
Lafayette is to have park that site is
the place for it,"
After a brief discussion President Hep
penheimer said the Board could come to
no determination until formally advised
by the Corporation Counsel. 1t would
first get his opinion as to the constitu-
tionality of the law and if found to be
right the Board will inspect the proposed
site and take such action as the law
authorizes
