Washington. - A Joint resolution
providing for an amendment to the
constitution to permit the election Of
United States senators by direct vote
Of the people was adopted by the
House by vote of 237 to 80.
1t had already passed the Senate,
and now goes to the states for ap.
proval
All that remains to be done is the
formal signing of the instrument and
the issuance of a proclamation to the
states to signify their wishes on the
proposed change.
The vote was preceded by bitter
contest In which the Southern mem
bers Joined common cause against the
resolution. Led by Representative
Bartlett of Georgia, the Georgia. Mis-
sissippi and Louisiana delegations
fought to prevent its passage because
of the Senate amendment which gave
the federal government supervision Of
the elections. They based their oppo-
sition almost entirely on the danger
OF negro domination.
The first vote was on an amend.
ment by Representative Bartlett which
took from the federal government all
supervisory powers. 1t was defeated.

ton Of the resolution, two-thirds OF

compartment of q thunderous ap-
plause.
Direct election of senators first was
taken up by Congress in 1926. From
time to time attempts have been made
to make the Senate popular body,
and have its members elected as are
the members of the House. Numbers
of these resolutions have died in com.

Amended by the House, it has been in
conference since July eth last year,
and If the House had not receded from
Its opposition to granting federal con.
troll of senatorial elections, 1t might
have met the fate of the others.
1t was this danger which led the
House to agree not to press its views.

About the most ridiculous suggestion
offered regarding capital punishment is
that of putting the murderers to work in

Copper in Pennsylvania.

According to H. d. McCaskey,
of the United States Geological
Survey, no production of gold,
silver, lead, or zinc has been re-
ported from the mines of Pennsyl
vania for many years, but there
has been annually a production
of copper yielding small quanti-
ties of the precious metals in re-
fining. There are copper pros
poets in Adams and Franklin
counties, but the greater part of
the output has been obtained
from copper ores separated from
magnetic ores of the Cornwall
iron mine, in Lebanon County.
The production of copper in
Pennsylvania in 1913 amounted
to 503,79 pounds, valued a t
$7S, ,0SS, compared with 479, ,06O
pounds, valued at $78,055, in
1912.

Let Him Die.

The first hunger striker, to he
"let die" is not, after all, a Bri-
tish militant, but a man in Mis-
sissippi. Sentenced totem years
Imprisonment, he began a hun
ger strike in the county Jail at
Holly Springs, Is d avs ago.
There is no mention of any par
ticular effort being made to coax
him to eat. Presumably his ra-
tions were placed before him to
take or leave as he preferred.
No one seems to have bothered
about focible feeding. Instead
there appears to have been tao
it agreement that if he wanted
to starve himself to death rather
than serve ten years in the peni-
tentiary it would be his funeral.
And so it turned out. He sue
cumbed to his self-imposed priva-
ton yesterday.

Woman Buried in Sand.

Gettysburg, June 26- Mrs.
Samuel Robinson of near Round
Top, was buried beneath several
tons of sand yesterday and died
shortly after she was dug out.
Mrs. Robinson had gone to the
sand quarry, of which her hus-
band is owner. She engaged in
screening sand when the cave-in
occurred which buried her be-
meath it. Paul Cluck, 13-year-
old boy, who was playing nearby
heard the thud of falling sand
and notified John Emory and
Frank Rosensteel, who were load
ing hay in the nearby field. They
hurried to the scene of the acci-
dent and after digging for a few
minutes came upon the body of
the unfortunate woman. S h e
was still breathing, but died a
few minutes later, without re-
gaining consciousness. Her hus-
band was engaged at work on
the State Highway between Get
tysburg and New Oxford, at the
time, but was unable to reach
her before she died.
She is survived by her hus-
band, one son and one daughter.

For Yellow leaves.

A doctor in the western part
of Pennsylvania who has a few
trees that he prizes, observed
some of the leaves turning yellow
and wrote to State Z,ologist Sur
face, Harrisburg, as follows:
Il have some peach trees that
| have been giving unusually
good care, but a great many of
the leaves are turning yellow and
falling to the ground. Can you
offer any remedy? | have had
them sprayed and dug around
the roots and every possible thing
done to keep them healthy"
To this Professor Surface re-
piled as follows:
There are several causes of
the leaves of your peach trees
turning yellow and falling at this
time Of year, the chief of which
may be lack of moisture. | ad-
wise abundant watering of trees
with water containing a teaspoon
ful of nitrate of soda for each
gallon of water. Watch closely
for masses of gum at the surface
of the ground with sawdust-like
particles in the gum. If these
are present the trees have borers
and these should be removed
with knife, but avoid cutting
across the grain of the wood as
much as possible. A lengthwise
cut will not be so bad.
THE top of a tree may be very
dense and really have too much
foliage, and a great amount of
moisture is now naturally need
ed. Thus prun ing to open it
out and give it more ventilation
will be helpful. 1t may have
been injured by winter freezing.
If so, the best thing to do is to
stimulate its growth by nitrogen
fertilizers, water, and cultivation
to keep it in good condition un-
til it outgrows the injury. 1t
may be possible that there are
scale insects on it. Wash the
trunks and larger branches with
a brush dipped in strong soap So
luton, and if fsuch pests are pres
ent spray when dormant with the
boiled lime-sulfur solution.

CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY

ANOTHER STRENUOUS
ROOSEVELT.

Other Roosevelts besides The
odore have been noted for stren-
uousness. Nicholas J. Roose-
welt was one Of them. He flour
lshed In the early years Of the
nineteenth century, and may be
called the father Of steam navl-
cation In tho west. In 1911 he
made a voyage on a flatboat
from Plttsburg to New Orleans,
to ascertain whether steam
could be used as a motive pow
er on the Ohio and Mississippi
Everybody discouraged the idea,
but on his return, with the aid
Of Fulton and Stevenson he
built steamboat to try II out.
The boat was called the "New
Orleans" and cost about $685.
900. With his wife and a small
crew he embarked at Plttsburg
amid the plaudlts Of thousands.
People said 1t was all right 60
ing down, but the boat could
never be made to go up the
river. At Cincinnati he took
some people aboard for a little
ride, and scared them nearly to
death by letting the boat drift
toward the Falls Of the Ohio.
Suddenly reversing the engine,
he took the boat up stream
three or four miles, to their
great relief and delight. The
voyage was a great success,
and the forerunner Of many
more.
