COMMISSION RULE
Passes Senate Bill Which M.
fects Third Glass Cities.
GOES TO GOVERNOR SOON

The Measure AboIishes Present Form
of Government and Vests 1t In Hands
of Mayor and Four CounciImen.
Harrisburg, Pa, June 4.-The Clark
third class city commission govern
ment bill, which will affect twenty-five
cities, was passed by the house after
a battle Of an hour, in which it was at
tackled as too radical and subversive
OF present-day government ideas.
The opponents OF the bill, who came
chiefly from Harrisburg, which has
worked under the new law, and Will
Transport, made a poor showing, get
ting only IA votes, while 146 were cast
for the bill.
The bill went to the senate for con-
currence, and it is expected that it
will soon reach the governor, who will
sign it.
The bill abolishes the present form
of government and vests it in the
hands of mayor and four commits
sioners, who are to be the members OF
council, the present. salaried officers
to serve out their terms. The first cleo
tion will be held this fall.
More than an hour was occupied in
debating the bill, which was attacked
by Messrs. Wildman, Harrisburg, and
Ulman, Williamsport, as having ripper
features, being expensive and burden
some in certain features, the Harris
burg member declaring that it wiped
out checks and balances, and the VIII
Transport member that it centralized
government by combining the execu-
tive and Legislative.
Mr. Spangler, York, explained the
bill at length, and speakers for the
bill included Mr.. Kits, Erie, who said
that 80 per cent of the twenty five
third class cities of the state favored
the bill, and that 1t would do away
with the present cumbersome coun-
3cilmanic system, with it's delays, and
have men who would devote their time
exclusively to the city government;
Mr.. Miller, Allentown, who declared
that there was an almost universal
demand in the small cities for the
change, remarking that the small coun
Gil bill had been abandoned and that
in his home city councilmen and civic
organizations had asked for change.
After voting down an amendment
TO reduce the appropriation for the
states participation in the Panama
Pacific exposition from $450,000 to
$200, 900, the house passed an amend
,siEent To cut It % $500 00O. The bill was,
the subject of debate for an hour
and half, and attacks upon the prop
osition to make larger allowance
were made on the ground that the
money should be devoted to charities

Twelve Large Cases OF Arms Foundsir
Belfast, ireland.
Belfast, June 4.-The customs Off
GERS. became suspicious of twelve
large cases which arrived from Man
chester, were vaguely addressed and
were described as electrical equip
ments"
The customs officials opened the
cases and found them full of rifles
and bayonets. They then called in the
palice, who are now in charge of th>
consignment, pending an inquiry.
Technically the arms cannot be seiz'
ed, as arms may be legitimately con.
signed to anybody in Ireland for legiti,
mate purposes, but they will be held
until the designs of the consignees car
be ascertained.
The discovery of the arms and the
seizure created an immense stir when
it became known. 1t is said that the
cases contained about 1000 rifles OF
modern foreign pattern. The genera
belief is that the Orange campaigr
against home rule is responsible fo'
the arrival of the arms.

of the universe in pig growing, but
after visiting parts of Georgia during
the last few days, he declared that if
IOwans should come to Georgia they

He was astonished to find that it
was possible to fatten hogs In South
Georgia at 3 cents per pound by
feeding peanuts. He thinks a little
corn would finish the meat and give
it a better flavor, but he finds that
Georgia is producing the corn, too,
at a very low cost.
Mr.. Downing believes Georgia can
be made one of the greatest meat
producing States in the country. His
purpose now is to induce every boy
that Joins a pig club to get a pure
bred pig. Preparatory to this, Mr..
Downing is getting concessions from
breeders who viii discount their usual
prices 25 per cent TO help the boys.
