is not unlikely that Senator Harden
bergh will try to push Judge Craig
back into Carbon: have Judge Purdy
take the Pike-Monroe district. and
leave Wayne wanting a new Judge.
The contest is between Representa-
tive Stroh and Senator Hardenbergh
as to whether 1t shall be Wayne or
Carbon that can have the privilege of
electing a new Judge.
Judge Purdy and Judge Craig are
each desirous that the other shall take
to the tall timbers of Pike Monroe.

The lnSur0ent Senator from Bed
ford Is Out with a Startling
Proposition.
SCRANTON CANNOT ACT
The Ripper Law Does Not Repeal the
Classification of 1S95-scranton
Passing from Third to Second Glass
Must End It's officers Under the
Act of 1895.

Special from a STAFF Correspondent
Harrisburg. March 7.-Senator We'll
ler, insurgent. of Bedford, is out with
the startling proposition that Scranton
cannot avail herself of the Ripper"
and as Scranton is barred form enjoy
ing the act, no other second class city
can come under its operations. by rea-
son of the prohibitions against special
legislation.
Senator Weller is an cx-district at
torney and one of the leading lawyers
of the state. lie says:
"The city of Scranton by the recent
census is advanced from the third to
| the second class. Under the act of 1895
| Scranton is directed upon receipt of the
governors certificate to proceed in a
certain way to organize second class
government.
THE ripper law does not repeal the
| classification act of 1895 in specific
| terms nor can it be maintained by the
friends of the ripper act that it does so
by implication, as by so doing the city
classification law would be destroyed
and the ripper act would be unconsti-
tutional in all of it's features on the
ground of it being local legislation.
The city of Pittsburg was originally
chartered by a special law and while
the Supreme court in their instance has
held that a general law may repeal a
local or special law by implication
yet it has done so only to establish
uniformity in line with the spirit Of the
constitution on subjects, for instance
like taxation.
Even should the doctrine. that a
general law may repeal a local or spe-
clal law by implication i'm order to es-
tablish uniformity in legislation for
the cities of the second class, he eX.
tended to municipalities il would moi
aid the Ripper act, for the reason thai
Scranton passing from third to SECOND
class must elect it's officers under the
act of 1895 and the Ripper being voit
as to Scranton 1t necessarily follow!
that it must be invalid as to all of tn,
cities of the same class"

Mr.. Hosack ansrily resented the
statement that he had caused the tur-
mol and that he had admitted he was
In the wrong.
II was not wrong; / did not admit
was wrong. and Mr.. Beacon knows
I was not wrong" Mr.. Hosack fairly
shouted as he glared into Mr.. Beacom's
face.
Returning the glare defantly, but
In coal measured terms, Mr.. Beacon
replied: "You were wrong, you did
admit you were wrong and know you
were wrong"
Speaker Marshall had to call Mr.. Ho-
sack to order three times during his
reply to Mr.. Beacon because of his in
temperate language.

UNCLE JERRY ROTH
SCORES A POINT
He Sternly Rebukes an Effort at
Nonsensical Legislation-The
House Is with Him.


Special from staff Correspondent.
Harrisburg, March Am attempt
was made this morning by Representa-
tive Harry Hall to pass a resolution
censuring the house employees who
were concerned in the melee of one
week ago last night. and admonishing
them against a repetition of their con-
duct. For over an hour there was a
lively discussion and when the house
was thoroughly tired of the squab-
bling "Uncle Jerry" Roth moved to
indefinitely postpone the whole matter,
and it was carried by an overwhelming
vote. Get down to work and let me
get home some time this year." de-
manded Mr.. Roth in indignant tones.
He was cheered to the echo.
Mr.. Beacon defended the action of
the house employees and charged the
whole affair up to the misconduct of
Mr.. Hosack in refusing to obey the
| speakers orders to take his chair.
'They did just what I would have
done under the circumstances" de-
clared Mr.. Beacon" The speaker or
! dered the sergeant at arms to put Mr.
Hosack in his seat and the sergeant
at arms oheyed his order"
Mr.. Harrison, of Philadelphia, spoke
in a similar strain. laying the blame
on Mr. Hosack, and excusing the ser.
geants at arms from all blame what
ever. because if they did not follow the
usual custom of enforcing a speakers
orders. it was because the house hac
neglected to instruct them in theil
duties.
Mr.. Scheuer was ON his feet to de
fend Message Clerk Marshall's action
by stating that Mr.. Marshall supposed
it was his duty to help the sergeant a
arms restore order, but before the ex
planation could be given. the speake
had recognized Mr.. Roth, and debat,
was shut off.
Mr.. Cooper. in speaking of the affair
said: II grant that the message clerl
had no place in this affair, but he wa
