be courtmartialed without his being
present during the trial, and it is
regarded as unlikely that, in the
event that Capt Hairs is finally
convicted and sentenced to the
penitentiary, the civil authorities
would permit him to appear before
an army courtmartial. This would
iorestall his being dishonorably
dismissed. OF course no action
will be taken by the War Depart

Governor Stuart's Wise Veto.

1t would be clearly unjust to
Governor Stuart to withhold from
BIN a full measure of praise for his
veto of all bills passed by the Legis-
lature during its recent session,
creating new courts and increasing
the number of Judges in the State.
There were several bills of that
sort. 1t is favorite method of
the machine for rewarding sinister
service and few imagined tha;
the Governor would not assume the
responsibility of disappointing the
bosses. But he did so most effec-
lively. He struck down every one
OF them and there will be weeping
and wailing among the expectants
OF the commissions.
We can imagine nothing less
needed than additional Judges in
Pennsylvania. There are already
so many OF them that half the num-
Der are threatened with dry rot be-
cause they have insufficient work
to keep their brains actively en-
p!oyed. But bills were passed
creating a new court with three
Judges in Allegheny county, pro-
vidlng for an additional Judge in
Cambria county and another in
Erie county. The only excuse for
another judge in Cambria county
is that the sitting judge is a Demo
crat. The excuse in Erie county
was that there is political favorite
there who needs employment and
money.
1t is to be hoped that this will
put an end to the strife on the part
OF the machine for new Judges.
There are already one hundred
common pleas judges and sixteen
judges of Orphans courts. Hall
this number could perform the ia.
dicial service better than the whole
because the lesser number would
feel that they ought to work. Blu,
The machine imagined that it could
impose this additional burden upor
the public and increase the political
patronage. But Governor Stuart
has disappointed them. He vetoed
every bill OF the kind that was lef,
10 him and the public ought tc
snow Its appreciation of the ser
vice. -BeIletonke Wakehman.

CAPITOL TRIMMER SANDERSON
DEAD.
Third Of ibe Men Concerned in Great Stat,
Scandal 10 Die.

! John H. Sande:son, of Philadel
phia, under conviction for defraud
ing the State of Pennsylvania il
connection with the furnishing oi
the State Capitol sat Harrisburg
died last Thursday at Sherrys in
New York, where he had made his
home for the past two years.
1t is remarkable fact, that with
the death of Sanderson, three men
concerned with the great scandal
have perished since the investiga-
ton of the Capitol work began.
The other two were George F.
Payne, who built the Capitol, and
William NJ. Mathues, who, as State
Treasurer, paid the bills for the
work. Both Mattues and Sander
son were under conviction and had
been sentenced to prison. but had
taken appeals.
Sanderson has for two years liv-
ed most secluded life at Sherrys.
He has been very sick man, much
of the time, and has taken every
precaution to avoid publicity.
Though he died some time be.
tween 3 and 6 O'Clock in the after
noon, the fact of his death was
kept as secret as possible, and it
was not until nearly midnight that
the management at Sherry's would
admit that he was dead. He was
a victim of Bright's disease.
John H. Sanderson collected
more than $5, $50, 900 for lighting
fixtures, marble and mahogany"
and wainscoting and other 'furn-
ishings" of the Capitol. Sander
son has been a preferred contractor
under Gang regime for many years
and he had monopoly of the con-
tract for furnishing the new Capi.
itol.
Sanderson was member of the
Union League, of Philadelphia,
and he served as an aide on the
military staff of Governor Beaver
many years ago, still retaining the
title of "Colonel." He retired
from business after the exposure of
the Capitol scandal, and has since
been living sumptuously in New
York.
Sanderson was married during
the height of the legislative inves-
tigation to Miss Angelina Bray, of
Glen side, who survives.
He has one brother, Harry San
derson. Also has brother-in-law,
who was witness at trial and was
prime mover in Pennsylvania
Bronze Company.
For years Sanderson was the reg
ular contractor for furniture for the
State buildings in Harrisburg, and
when the Capitol job was ready he
was the favored contractor, dividing
the contracts only with H. Burd
Cassel, who supplied the metallic
filing cases.
When State Treasurer Berry first
sprung the scandal Sanderson was
loud in his protestations of honesty.

SCHOOL CODE BILL.

SCHOOL CODE BILL.
IN vetoing the school code the
governor said: THE bill drafted
by the Pennsylvania State Educa-
tional Commission and submitted
to the legislature was so changed
by amendments during its passage
through the legislature, many of
the best features of the original
draft being eliminated and nume-
rous amendments made which de-
stroyed the harmony OF the bill by
Introducing many contradictory
provisions, that it is more than
doubtful whether an approval of
the bill would be Of any benefit to
the cause of education in the State.
Irrespective of this, however,
the bill, as certified to me, under
the provisions of the constitution
shows that in connection with the
proviso to section 2o3, the printed
word city on line 26, was stricken
ont with the pen and the word dis
trict in red ink, written above it.
Shortly after the receipt of the GER
tilted bill i was informed by GER
tain members of the PENNSYLVANIA
Educational Commission tnat the
bill as it finally passed the Senate,
contained the printed word city
and did not contain the word dis
trict, and that il finally passed
the legislature in this form.
In view of this information, l
examined into the matter and sat-
ished myself that the bill as finally
passed did not contain the word
district but did contain the word
city in the sentence un1er consid-
Grafton. To approve this bill.
therefore, would be to approve a
bill that did not pass the legislature
in the form in which it was pre-
sented to me for executive action.
For those reasons the bill is not ap.
proved"

nonductile metals. like tungsten, has
been ingeniously overcome in new
patented process OF the Siemens-
Halske firm of Germany. The tung-
stem or other filament metal Is inelosed
in a thin coating OF ductile metal, and
the whole is drawn through die
plate until the required fineness Is
reached. The coated filament at.

then mounted in the lamp bulb. The
air is exhausted from the bulb, and an
electric current is turned on, when the
heat quickly drives off the ductile
