When called upon to speak, the
former Phillie president not only
accused everybody attached to pro-

Connie Mack and said that when
Silk O'Loughlin made the famous
decision that many have claimed

said harsher things about the UNI
pire than he ever did.
Fogel was asked to stop. and
Ebbets became 50 boiling with rage
that he took the floor and asked
the POSTMASTER to have Fogel ST
fenced. There was pandemonium
for a short time, but Fogel finally
sat down and then Ebbets told
every one present the real facts in
the case. Connie Mack then in his
diplomatic way poured oil on the
troubled waters and asked the
young men to remember that Fo-
gel did not know anything about
the American league, anyway, and
that he was not competent to judge
of what vent on in its affairs.
Fogel wanted to reply to each of
the men who had answered him,
but the POSTMASTER told him that
his remarks We're uncalled for. and
then the former president left the
room in huff.

FINAL VOTE ON BOND ISSUE
WILL Be SOON
MEASURE is BEING URGED BY
PEOPLE OVER THE ENTIRE
STATE.

Amendments Made in the House Will
Be Concurred in by Senate To Let
the People Decide-NO Danger OF
Hold up in the Senate.
The measure that will provide the
funds for giving Pennsylvania good
roads is facing the final stage in it's
passage through the Legislature
This is the resolution to amend the
constitution so as to permit the State
to issue bonds up to $50, 100000 for
the construction of highways.
Action of the House of Represen-
tatives Monday night in recalling the
bill from the roads committee and
passing it on second reading left
nothing except the vote on final pas
sage between this measure and its
submission to the people at the
polls.
Thus the whole good roads pro
gram is at it's most critical state, and
the Pennsylvania Motor Federation
and other organizations interested in
highway improvements are urging
their friends everywhere to unite in
a last appeal to members of the
House to vote so that the people
may have an opportunity to express
their judgment on this most import
ant matter. 1t is probable that when
this reaches the eye of the reader
nothing but telegram will reach his
representative in time to be of any
use.
The vote of 166 to IS in favor of
the resolution on second reading in
d1cates that it will have a safe ma
lnrifU n n oil 4
necessarily insure this, because Of
tentlmeS members reserve their on
position to a measure until it reaches
the final stage. All friends of good
roads therefore are being urged to
renew their efforts to insure a big
majority for the bond issue resolu-
ton. 1t passed both branches Of the
1911 Legislature unanimously and
had only three votes against it in the
Senate this time, and the desire is
that the majority for it in the House
snail be as large as possible for eff
fect in the coming campaign for its
approval by the people.
Because of a typographical error
in the printed copies of the resolu-
ton, it has been necessary for the
House to make slight amendment.
to make it conform exactly to the
resolution that passed the last Leg
islature. This will necessitate re-
turning it to the Senate for concur
renee in the amendment after the
House has passed it, but there is no
danger of its being held up in the
Senate, which is overwhelmingly in
favor of adopting this business-like
plan of financing the greatest and
most needed public improvement
ever undertaken. in Pennsylvania,
