To Probe Wage Cuts Under New Tariff
Manufacturers of the United States
had painted for them by Secretary of
Commerce Redfeld a word picture of
what they might expect in cases where
the federal government felt obliged to
walk into their Offices" to inquire into
wage cuts under the new tariff bill.
This was disclosed by Secretary
Redfield before the National Associa-
tion of Employing Lithographers, now
in session in Washington. This asso-
citation bad warned congress that the
lithographers would have to reduce
wages if the Underwood bill became a
law.
Secretary Redfield told the itho-
graphers that he had spoken thus
frankly because he had received from
their association a circular referring
to the reduction of duty on goods in
which they were interested as produc-
ers. He warned them that statements
based on averages would not be ac-
cepted as final. 1--WE should want to
know" he continued, "the best and the
worst, for averages may be mislead-
ing"

TENER SIGNS COLD
STORAGE Gill
Requires Labels on All FOODS
so Kept.

Governor Tener signed the cold stor-
age bill, which aims to regulate the
cold storage warehouses throughout
Pennsylvania.
The most stringent clause in the
measure and the one against which
the opposition of the cold storage men
was principally directed is that which
requires that all cold storage food
must be labeled as such.
The cold storage bill is stringent in
its provisions and its enactment will
amply protect the public against un-
wholesome storage foods.
1t provides the following time linn
it's for foods in cold storage: Beef,
four months; pork six months; sheep,
six months; lambs, six months; veal,
three months; dressed fowl, drawn,
five months; dressed fowl, undrawn,
ten months; eggs, eight months; but
ter, eight months; fish, nine months.
The law provides that all food put
in cold storage shall be plainly mark
ed "cold storage" and shall also have
the date on which 1t was paced IN
the warehouse. The dairy ard food
commissioner is given full authority
to make rules and regulations cover
ing the sanitary conditions in Ill cold
storage houses and power to inspect
all plants The act makes it unlawful
to put diseased or tainted food in cold
storage. Each cold storage house must
take out a license, to be granted by
the commissioner.
The penalty for a violation of the
law is a fine of not less than $500 for
the first offense and fine of not more
than $1,000 for the second and subse-
quent offenses, together with impris1S
onment of not more than ninety days
or both at the discretion of the court.
The act becomes effective in ninety
days.

RUSSELL TELLS
OF THAW BRIBE
Says He Was Offered $4,000
to Release Him.
WAS AFRAID OF POSITION
Superintendent of MatteaWan Declares
He Was Also Offered $4,000 Year
If He Lost His Position.

DR.. John w. Russell, former super
intendent Of the MatteaWan Hospital
for the Criminal Insane, testified In
the supreme court in New York city
and related conversations he had with
John N. Anhut, lawyer on trial charg-
ed with having attempted to brlbe the
doctor to secure the release from the
institution of Harry K. Thaw.
+ The court ruled out questions with
reference to any conversations the wit
ness may have had with Thaw. Thus
the doctor was not permitted to affirm
or deny Thaw's testimony that DR..
Russell proposed to release him for
a consideration.
The doctor described a meeting with
Anhut in New York on Nov. % last.
"Anhut said to me-" said the witness,
doctor, have $4,000 here, and any
part of this is yours is you will dis
charge Thaw' l replied that could,
but would not, as it would be as much
as my position and honor was worth.
That was all I said and the subject
was dropped"
DR.. Russell's testimony was similar
to that he gave at Albany when COM
mission appointed by Governor Sulzer
was investigating the Thaw matter.
Hoffman testiged that early in No
vember last Thaw gave him $4,000 in
cash and a handful of stock certifi-
Gates to be given to Anhut. Two re-
ceipts for $12,5O0 each were given him
by Anhut, and these Thaw had photo
graphed. Jan. l I found Thaw still at
Matteawan, and Hoffman was sent to
Anhut to get back the stock. Anhut
declared, the witness said, that he did
not have it-that he sold 1t.
Subsequently, Hoffman continued,
Anhut returned a portion Of the stock.
The witness contradicted portion OF
Thaw's testimony by asserting that he
never took papers relating to one OF
the Thaw hearings from Thaw to An
hut.
DR.. Russell was the next witness.
Subsequently, DR.. Russell said, he had
lunched with Anhut in New York and
afterwards they again discussed the
Thaw situation.
"Anhut said," DR.. Russell testified,
"'You can have $4,000 if you dis
charge Thaw, and If you lose your po-
sition Thaw will give you $4,000 a
year until you are established l re-
fused to have anything to do with
such a matter and nothing more was
said about it."
DR.. Russell tried to explain his fail
ure to remember Anhut's name when
examined by the commission at Al
bany on the grounds that he had met
Anhut infrequently, On cross-examina-
ton he admitted that he had seen An
hut "about fifty times" and that Anhut
had dined at his (Russell's) house. He
said he did not reproach Anhut for his
alleged bribery attempt, but "felt In
ward1y angered" at him.

JOHNSON TO SIGN
ALIEN LAND ACT
Governor TeIsgraphs His De-

DEEMS IT DUTY TO PEOPLE
California Executive Reviews Measure
Complained of by Japan and Cites
Treaty Rights.

Complained of by Japan and Cites
Treaty Rights.
Expressing his determination to sign
the alien land bill, recently passed by
the legislature, Governor Hiram w.
Johnson, OF California, telegraphed to
| Secretary of State Bryan long eX-
planation of the action taken by the
legislature.
| The message was in answer to the
request telegraphed to the governor
| by Secretary Bryan, at the direct OIL
! of President Wilson, that the bill be
vetoed.
The governor, among other things,
! says that the occupying of agri2ul-
tural lands by Orientals and foreigners
| ineligible to citizenship was for many
years a grave problem in California, a
problem not fully understood in the
! east. Continuing, he says:
"In the phraseology of this bill, IN
, those whom it affects, in its scope ana
| in its purpose, we believe we are with
! in our legal and our moral rights, and
that we are doing only what is i'm
peratively demanded for the protection
and preservation of our state.
"In this enactment we have kept
ever in mind our national good faith
as evidenced by existing treaties; and
our desire and anxiety have been to
act only in such fashion as would
commend us to our sister states and
would justify us to our fellow coun-
trymen.
4The protest to our measure, as your
telegram states, comes from the rep
resentative of Japan. The bill that is
now before me provides substantially
| in it's first sections that all aliens ell
gible to citizenship under the laws OF
the United States may acquire real
| property in the same manner as c1tl-
zens of the United States, and the sec
ond section provides. that all aliens
| other than those mentioned in the first
! section may acquire real property IN
| the manner and to the extent and for
the purpose prescribed by any treaty
now existing between the government
of the United States and the nation
or country of which such aliens are
citizens or subjects, and may in add1-
ton lease for a period of three years
lands for agricultural purposes.
s"Thus we have made existing treat
les a part of our law, and thus we
have preserved every right that any
foreign nation by international con-
tract has insisted upon preserving with
our national government.
"You have suggested to me delay,
but this question was very earnestly
and fully presented by you to our
legislature, and the legislature deter
mined to proceed. My province Is to
approve or disapprove the law as pre-
sented. Our people, as represented in
| the legislature, have overwhelmingly
expressed their desire for the present
alien land bill. The vote in the senate
was 35 to 2, and In the assembly u
to g. With such unanimity of opinion,
even did | hold other views, I would
feel 1t my plain duty to sign the bill,
unless some absolutely controlling ne
cesisty demanded contrary action.
'It is with the highest respect for
yourself and the president that ! feel
it my duty to the state compels me t"
approve the action of the legislature.
