and only two per cent for agricul-
ture, Mr. Douglas declared congress
was not acting for the benefit and
interests of the people
Chairman Tawney of the commit
tee on appropriations, expressed
sympathy with the purpose sought,
which he said, would be accomplish
ed if all appropriation bills were
considered by single committee.
General debate on the agricultur-
al bill was concluded. On a point
of order the house eliminated a pro-
vision authorizing the secretary of
agriculture to purchase and destroy
animals suffering from pleuro-pneu-
monia.
The senate spent more than two
hours in fruitless academic discus
sion of the tariff, with especial con-
sideration of it's effect on the pres
ent high prices of food products.
The debate was precipitated by a set
speech by Senator Lodge contending
that the rates of duty have no effect
on food prices. Senator Bacon res
pended, taking the opposite view.
The controversy was participated in
by Senators Gallinger, Smith of
Michigan, Bailey, Warren, Carter
and others.
Senator Gallinger indicated oppo-
sition to the speedy disposal of the
postal savings bank bill and Senator
Bailey announced he would oppose
it every time it came up. The Gore
resolution providing for an inquiry
into the cost of the transportation
Of second class matter was referred
to the committee on postoffices and
post roads.

OPENED NEXT SATURDAY
Resort Management Announces
Long List of Regular
Attractions

The new Luna park, the biggest
amusement resort in the west, at
Washington and Main streets, will be
opened next Saturday, November 70.
There will be no formal ceremony,
no list of special attractions" The
regular list of attractions which the
management will present continuously
fills an entire day and evening. These
include the big hungarian band of
Commentators Schilzeny, just from
Europe; Emma NeWkirk, in a daring
flying performance; the zoo additions,
which will house the camels, the ele-
phant and the large addition to the
Luna cat family; two vaudeville per-
formances daily, with first class mo-
ton pictures; the huge j. d. Thompson
scenic railway, shortly to be completed,
which will be the largest in the world
with the exception of one at Luna
park, Coney Island; the biggest "hu-
man roulette wheeT' ever built; a car
rouselle, with an electric organ; the
Luna restaurant and many others.
Especial care has been taken in the
past month to rema'-e entirely all the
lawns and trim and rejuvenate the
trees. These will be found in numerous
beauty spots.
The new aviary has one of the rarest
bird collections in the southwest.
The new miniature railway, built
quite around the grounds and equipped
at a cost Of $1,000, is ready for business.
The figure eight" roller coaster Of
great dimensions, is ready for those
who like this sort of JOY ride.
The circular swing, the only one Of
it's kind on the coast, has been recon-
structed and equipped with a 1OO-horse
power motor, capable of revolving
thrills in plenty to all corners.
The japanese village is a scene Of
intense activity. More than 100 arti-

their various trades, not only selling
but making the thousand and one Jap
anese trinkets and delicate wearahles
dear to the heart of every woman.
There will be just one thing that can
not be found-alcoholic liquors of any
description.

aeroplane passenger service between
the Motordrome and Catalina.
The meet will be held under the
auspices of the Aero Club of Cali
fornia. and preparations are being
made to take care of an immense
crowd. The country within radius
IF five miles of the Motordrome has
been leased and speed, height and long
distance contests will be held for Valu-
able prizes. The aero clubs hangar
viii be placed at the disposal of visit
ing aviationists, and it seems alto
gether likely that the Los Angeles meet
will be the most important of the
winter.
Contracts for the appearance of Cur
tiss and the others named have been
made by Manager Walter Hemphill
and Vice President Moskovics of the
Aero club with Jerome S. Fanciulli,
Curtiss' business manager. Curtiss Will
bring here severar Bleriot monoplanes
in addition to the biplanes. and he
plans to devote much of his time to
experimental work. This means that
the attention of aviationists the world
over will be directed to Los Angeles
and, in all probability. that few more
records will be added to those already
made in this part of the country

Municipal Affairs
COUNCIL WILL RECEIVE
CITY HALL ANNEX PLAN
Building Committee to Ask Adop-
ton of Design of New
Municipal Structure

Plans and specifications for the an
mex to the city hall have been prepared
under the supervision of j. j. Backus,
building superintendent, and will be
presented to the council Tuesday by
the building committee with the recon-
mendation that they be adopted
The annex will be "a by 155 feet, two
stories high and joined to the main
building by bridge, which will ex-
tend from the present location of the
department of public works. The front
is to be of red pressed brick with arti-
fetal stone trimmings to look as much
like the main building as possible. 1t
is to be as cheaply constructed as it
can be, for within two or three years
it is hoped there will be a new city
hall on the site of the Temple block. .
But more room is urgently needed
at once, for the departments are grow
ing to such an extent that outside
quarters at high rates must be secured
for them if more room is not provided
at the city hall.
Between the main building and the
annex there will be a space of twenty
feet in the rear of the building, with
an eight-foot entrance. This will be
used for the storage of the city's auto
mobiles. The largest part of the first
floor will be. occupied by the depart
ment of tax and license collection, and
the rear of the first floor will be divided
into offices for the health department.
On the south side of the second floor
with which the bridge connects, the
portion of the department of public
works over which w M. Humphreys
has jurisdiction, will be located. Offices
will be provided for the harbor COM
mission and Leslie r. Hewitt, the spe-
cial counsel for the commission; the
board of public utilities, the city elec-
trician, the park commission and the
supply department.
Connected, with the supply depart
ment will be a store room, something
the city has needed for many years.
Arthur Baker, clerk of the supply
committee, is working out a system of
standard material to keep in stock for
the supply room.
When these changes are made prac-
tically the entire third floor of the old
city hall will be given over to the en-
gineering department, and other
changes will be made, so that, all de-
partments may have more room.

COLEGROVE CITIZENS WIN
BY COMPLAINT ON TRAFFIC

Some Of the complaints made against
the Los Angeles-Pacific by the Cole
grove board of trade are well founded.
according to a report the board Of
public utilities will make to the council
Tuesday.
The Colegrove organization has al
legged breaches of franchise on the part
Of the railway and has asked the coun-
Gil to declare the franchise forfeited.
But the complainants have intimated
that If a scent fare is granted to Cole
grove they are willing to overlook the
sins of omission and commission on
the part of the railway. The board of
public utilities has asked the council
to take the necessary action to secure
scent fares both for Hollywood and
Colegrove.
Colegrove also wants the railway to
improve streets, rearrange service
schedules and regulate freight traffic.
The utilities commission is considering
these matters.

CoUNClLMEN FAVOR PLANS
FOR LIGHTS IN CAHUENGA

The finance committee will recon-
mend TO the council Tuesday that sixty
two lights be placed in the Cahuenga
district These lights are to cost about
$1,000 for the remainder of the fiscal
year and the money is to be taken from
the $6755.77 road fund recently paid the
city by the county as the unexpended
balance OF the road tax collected be-
fore the district was annexed.
The committees recommendation is
in line with the suggestion of w. M.
Humphreys, inspector of public works.
Mr.. Humphreys said that all the money
paid to the city could be well used for
road work in that district from which
it was collected, but lights were ur-
gently needed as we'll.

EMPLOYEES ON AQUEDUCT
DEMAND INCREASE IN PAY

A committee representing employees
of the aqueduct sent a letter to the
board of public works yesterday de-
manding that the salaries of aqueduct
employees be increased to meet the ad-
ditional Is cents a day for meals. The
board recently permitted D. j. Des-
mond, the mess contractor to increase
the price of meals from 25 to 80 cents
and it mas caused some dissatisfaction
among the miners and other employees.
The letter also demands that the
board Of public works give the men
permission to eat wherever they please
instead of compelling them to eat at
the Desmond mess. But this subject
was threshed out year ago and there
is not likely to be any change In the
decision.
The letter was referred to the ad-
visory board for consideration.

MANAGERS
ADOPT SCHEDULE

| The final arrangements for the Sus-
quehanna league season of 1910 were
made at a meeting of the managers
| held yesterday afternoon at the hotel
Morton at Berwick, at which the fol-
lowing members were present: Presi-
dent McCollum, Hoffman, of Danville !;
Laubach, of Berwick; Sharpless, of
Bloomsbury; Splain, of Nescopeck !;
Long, of Benton; Job, of Nanticoke.
Henshall represented Shickshinny.
The most important business trans
acted was the adoption of schedule
for the season, which was accomplish
ed with no delay,
The schedule had already been ar
ranged at "a meeting of the schedule
committee held last Thursday. In pre-
senting the schedule to the board of
managers, President McCollum stated
that it had been complied with view
to keeping the big towns busy on holi-
days and that minimum travelling ex-
penses had been given careful consid-
GRAFTON. Also the committee in arrang-
ing the games for the season had kept
in mind conflicting dates between Ber-
wick and Nescopeck.
The schedule had been considered by
the managers previous to the meeting
and when the matter was presented to
them it was adopted without dissent
ing voice.
The reading of the bylaw which
provides that no team in the league
shall cost more than $25 game and
that no player shall be paid more than
81 for game, brought laugh from
the managers. Splain thought that the
section should be stricken from the by
laws; Laubach agreed with him. 1t
was, however, allowed to stand, al
though it is generally acknowledged
that it is not lived up to.
Action was taken raising the rain
guarantee from sl2. 80 to sl5. The offer
of the Morning Press, of Bloomsbury,
to again furnish the pennant, was ac-
cepted.
A resolution was adopted, to be in
corporated in the bylaws, that any
team leaving the field during the pro-
gress of game shall forfeit its per-
centage, the amount to be turned over
to the leaCne
Action was taken rendering the
of the Morton house in
Berwick vote of thanks for the use
of a room in which the meetings of
the league managers have been held.

WHERE SPUDS ARE CHEAP

Within the past week farmers in
Carbon county and some portions of
Lehigh have been bringing into Mauch
Chunk and other towns so many pota-
toes that there is sale for scarcely half
the supply. The price has already drop
ped to thirty-tive cents a bushel and
still lower. Many farmers in that dis
trict, as well as others, believing that
the drought last year would cause a
famine in potatoes, held their crops
for fancy prices all winter, and lost
money by such action. While the crop
was failure in some parts of Pennsyl-
vania, other states produced banner
crops of tubers, and up-to-date merch-
ants learned of this through newspap-
ers. They accordingly purchased pota-
toes at reasonable price, brought
hundreds of bushels TO that city and
sold them considerably lower than the
figures at which farmers held their
crop.

FIRE WARDEN
HAD RESIGNED

The destructive forest fire that swept
the southern side of Montour ridge be.
low town Saturday afternoon and
! night was the first to occur since the
act of May 13, 1909, went Sinto effect,
which created system of fire wardens
to preserve the forests of the Common
wealth. The district fire warden APP
pointed in Mahoning township, in
which the3fire occurred, it appears,
had tenderedE.his resignation some
time previously. In the absence of a
successor duly authorized to assume
control the provisions of the act PROV
ed of no avail i'll facilitating the sup
preston of thesfire. Old time methods
prevailed, by.which it is understood
persons whose property was jeopardiz-
ed turned out and did what they could
to extinguish the fire.
Charles West, who resides near the
burned district, was in this city Mon
day. He stated that the fire destroy
ed several hundred dollars worth of
growing timber, mostly chestnut.
Timber to the value of at least one
hundred dollars was burned on land
belonging to the George W. West
estate. The loss sustained by the Read
ing Iron company was double that
amount
Every one, Mr.. West stated, was un.
der the impression that the provisions
of the new act would be carried into
effect and that the district fire warden
would be promptly on hand to take
such measures as would be necessary
for the extinguishment of the fire. 1t
was not until the fire had gained great
headway that owners of surrounding
property realized that the suppression
of the fire devolved solely upon them.
Among those who turned out to fight
the fire We're William Quigg and sons,
Dennis and Thomas; Gerald, Harrison
and Walter West, sons of Charles West.
During Saturday afternoon some help
was received from the employees of the
d. L. & w. Railroad company, but
during Saturday night the half dozen
fire fighters above named had the task
all to themselves. Owing to the drought
the fire spread with great rapidity.
No sooner was it gotten under control
other place. 1t was not until nearly
three O'Clock Sunday morning that the
fire was conquered.
Mr.. West stated that during dry
weather, owing to passing trains, Mon
tour Ridge is exposed to the danger
of forest fires, and the object of his
visit to Danville Monday was to see
whether immediate protection could
not be afforded

MEMORIAL DAY

The Rev. a. Trey, pastor of the First
Baptist church, will deliver the Mem
orial Day address at Odd Fellows
cemetery on May 30th. The Rev.
George S. Womer will preach the
memorial sermon ON Sunday, May
29th, in st. Paul's Methodist Episcop-
al church.
Memorial Day is still nearly two
months distant and beyond selecting
the orator of the day and the clergy.
man to preach the memorial sermon
Goodrich post No -, G. \. r., has
not definitely decided on program.
Every effort will lie made to observe
the day in manner that will reflect
true patriotism and fifty commemorate
the dead. AS on previous years the
school children will be asked to turn
out. The military and probably other
organizations of town will be invited
to join the parade to the cemetery.
The veterans, themselves owing to ad-
vancing years, will be taken to the
cemetery in trolley car chartered for
the. occasion.
To assist the veterans in observing
Memorial day the county commission
ers are expected TO make the usual
contribution. For the last three years
Goodrich Post has received fifty dol
lars annually from the county, al
though the donation of larger sum is
permitted.
Some persons advocate holding Me-
mortal day exercises in the new park,
spot especially appropriate, owing to
the presence of the soldiers monument
and the handsome flag presented by
Mr.. DeLong. \ majority of the vet
Grams, however, prefer the soldiers
plot in Odd Fellows cemetery, where
the exercises have been held for SO
many years in the past and where their
departed comrades lie buried.
