To Oppose Regulations
fBY UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONS,

HARRISBURG, May IA bitter
fight against the proposed law to regu-
late the conditions and hours Of labor
of women and children in PENNSYLVANIA
by manufacturers and their represen-
tatives opened here this afternoon
when the hearings on this bin and the
bill to establish minimum wage com
mission opened at the state house.
Friends and foes Of the proposed laws
were here today in great numbers, as
these hearings are admitted by both
sides to be the crucial test put to the
Legislature to show whether that body
will place itself on record as ''prog-
ressive" along these lines. The hear
ing was scheduled before the special
Judiciary committee Of the senate. The
women and child labor bills We're
drafted by the legislative committee Of
the Republican state convention and
it was believed by many that they will
be favorably acted on. Member. OF
the Progressive party and certain
aVowedly progressive Democrats are
strongly in favor Of the establishment
Of the proposed minimum wage COM
mission. The majority of the legislat-
ors, however, are thought to be op-
posed to it.
Among those who advocated the
passage of all three measures today
were Henry G.. Wasson of Pittsburg
chairman Of the Republican state con-
ventiOn: William Draper Lewis, dean
Of the University Of Pennsylvania law
school; Charles Chute Of Philadelphia,
secretary Of the Pennsylvania Child La
Dor Association. and representatives of
similar organizations in New York,
Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.

IMPORTANT PLANS STOLEN
FROM NAVY DEPARTMENT
(BY UNITED PRESS AssoCIATIONs]

[BY UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONgI
WASHINGTON, May i4.-Little Gre
dence is placed generally in the official
statements Of the navy department Of
t1icials to the effect that the theft Of
the plans for the dreadnaught Penn
sylvania is of little consequence. Sec
retary Daniels has issued an order that
, the department recover the plans re
gardless OF expense.
1t is known that the secret service
is concentrating its entire strength on
the search. The impression prevails
that some member OF the department
is responsible and that the same per-
son may have copied or stolen other
important secret plans.
Secretary Daniels issued a statement
this afternoon saying it is the belief
of the department that one Of its num-
ber stole the plans, but admitted that
this is merely a guess and that he
has no real knowledge OF the thief.
He said: "Any one familiar with ma
val construction would not have taken

POOR OLO CONGRESSMEN

WASHINGTON, May il-Its pretty

poor old congressman in the house OF
representatives, who have a kindly re-
gard for their own comfort while they
are 'legiSlating.' An air of polteness
and conventionality has crept into the

STEPS VIGOROUSLY TAKEN
TO STAMP OUT DISEASE

The presence OF eight cases Of
smallpox in the city, while not taken by
the people as at all justifying a public
scare, is considered as situation
which calls for prompt and vigorous
steps to stamp it out, and steps to this
end were taken by the city trustees
last evening, when a considerable
number Of citizens met with the board
to discuss the situation, including DR..
Virgil McCOmbs, health officer, and
other physicians.
DR.. McCOmbs corrected a number of
wild rumors which have been in cir
culation, implying that proper quar-
antiDe had not been established where
the disease has broken out. some of
the reports being utterly absurd on
their face, while others are without
foundation.
1t was announced that general vac
cination Of the people, young and old,
was in progress, and that the word
would be given out this morning that
systematic campaign Of vaccinating
would be started through public places,
while the order had already been issued
for all school children to be vaccinated.
DR.. McCOmbs stated that Of forty
eight cases reported in the valley in
the last year but two of the victims
mad ever been vaccinated, the other
fOrty-flve never having taken the pre-
caution.
Mayor Norton said City Trustee
Swanson had sent word that he was
sorry he could not appear before the
board as an example Of the evil Of
neglecting to be vaccinated. and urged
that steps be taken to stamp out the
disease at once.
Attorney Dan Y. Noland and a num-
Der Of other citizens urged that prompt
steps be taken to overcome the dis
ease, and Mayor Norton stated that
work would be begun today on the
construction Of tent houses out Of town
for any who might be taken down later
with the disease
Today the Offices Of the doctors were
thrOnged with people getting vaccinat-
ed, and it was apparent that the public
has set about in this way to head off
the spread of the disease.
Up to 3 o'clock this afternoon no
new cases had been reported, the total
remaining unchanged from yesterday
mornings report. 1t is thought prob
able, however, that there will be a
number Of new cases during the next
week from exposures already made, by
which time it is hoped through gen
eral vaccination to put an end to the
spread Of the disease.

RAISING MONEY FOR ROAD
IN NORTH END OF VALLEY

Brawley News: When the senate
passed the Ellis bill last week. appro-
priating $4,000 toward a state high
way from Banning to Yuma the con-
struction of most important link in
the ocean to ocean highway was as
sured.
Introduced late in the session by As O..
Semblyman Ellis of Riverside county.
| little hope was entertained Of its pass
! age. But il received the favorable
consideration Of the assembly commit
! tee. went through The assembly without
| trouble. and has now passed the senate
and only awaits Governor JOhnson's
| Signature to become a law. Previous
| to the Introduction Of the measure, 1t
was presented to the governor and the
promoters were given assurance of his
| support.
CONNECTION WITH ARIZONA
! Under the regulations covering the
/ operation Of the state highway COM
mission. that body could not, without
considerable difficulty. expend money
on the construction of road connect
ing state highway with the state
| highway of Arizona at Yuma, however
much the members might wish to do
so. The law provides. for roads he-
| tween county seats only.
| BY the Ellis bill it will be possible
to build the link which is so important
in the completion Of an ocean to ocean
! highway.
Riverside county has agreed to eX-
| pend S250.000 on the highway between
| Banning and the Imperial county line.
and Los Angeles and Imperial counties
| have already spent considerable sums
between the Riverside county line and
! the west side main canal in Imperial
| county. on the road to Brawley.
| Under the circumstances, it is be
lieved that the greater portion OF the
appropriation will be used to construct
a highway from Brawley to Yuma.
CITY PAVEMENT
! The Brawley trustees already have
under consideration a plan to pave
Main street the entire length from east
to west, as we'll as some of the other
streets Of the city, and it is believed
! that The passage of the $4,000 ap-
may he taken.
PERMANENT ROADS IN COUNTY
| For months past plans have been
contemplated to form road district,
if possible. and construct a permanent
highway from a point near WestmOre-
rland to Brawley and on beyond into
the No. 5 district.
! BENEFIT TO THE FARMERS
| Such roads would not only be of
service in assuring good roads in the
valley to the transcontinental tourists
and the visitors from Los Angeles and
the coast, hut would also be OF service
to the farmers in the respective dis
tricts. enabling them to haul heavier
loads and to travel with greater COM
| fort.
Good roads have been growing in ia
vor in this portion of the valley, espe-
cially since the Los Angeles to Phoenix
automobile race demonstrated the dif-
ference between roads kept at a high
state of efficiency and the ordinary
country road.
The completion Of the highway be-
tween Brawley and Los Angeles is now
only matter Of time.
