LIQUOR FIGHT
TO Be KEPT UP
Vote In the House Encourages
Local Option People
ROCKWELL MEASURE DEFEATED
Compared With Other Sessions Vote
Of 121 to SO This Year Shows That
Liquor Adherents Are Not Calming.

Encouraged by their showing in the
house, although the Rockwell local OPP
tion bill was defeated on second read
ing, SO to 121, the anti-liquor people
propose TO continue their fight in the
Pennsylvania legislature.
The Anti-Saloon league proposes 10
introduce a bill similar to those of
1909 and 1911. Also it intends to pre-
sent other bills aimed to harrass the
liquor interests. At the same time 1t
will make plans for the election of rep
resentatives in 1914 who will favor
their bill, declaring the purpose in
placing numerous anti-liquor bills be-
fore the present session is to get the
members on record as much as pos
sible on all liquor legislation with a
view of securing campaign material.
The vote on the Rockwell bill
showed gain for the local optionists
over that of two years ago. In 1909
the fight against the bill was made
on second reading, the vote being 66
for and 1877 against it. In 1911 the
fight came to place negatived local
option bill on the calendar This was
defeated by a vote of 76 to 121. The
liquor men have not gained single
vote in two years.
In neither the election of last fall
nor the primaries of April, 1912, was
local option made an issue in many
of the districts of the state. Many
of the men who voted for the legis-
lation we're not pledged one way or
the other on the subject, but they
recognized the fairness of the PROPOSE
tion.
The local option fight was not made
a party issue. Members of all parties
voted for and against the bill. On the
Democratic side twenty members
voted for the bill thirty-fve against
it and one did not vote.
The second effort to legalize Sun
day baseball in Pennsylvania was de-
feated in the house by most de-
cisive vote. The test came when Rep
resentative Wiltbank moved to have
his bill put on the calendar despite
the negative recommendation of the
law and order committee.
The following is the congressional
apportionment bill agreed on by the
Republican organization and intro
duced in the senate by Senator
Homsher:

Morgan Brothers Will Construct Six
Houses at Virginia Highlands.

In the suburbs OF Washington 1t is easy
to find attractive houses of the more ex-
pensive type, but the well planned. ar
tistic house OF small cost is an excep-
ton. The bungalow of Irving Grey. on
Willow avenue, Virginia Highlands, shows
well how by small expenditure an excep-
tionally attractive home may be built
This coy cottage has back of the living
porch a living room which opens directly
into a dining room in the rear, with side
bay window. A small kitchen adjoins
the dining room, with pantry, and bath
is also located in the rear which connects
with the bedroom and is in direct con-
nection with the kitchen, thus saving in
plum bling There Is also cellar under
the entire house. and ample attic space.
The house was built by Morgan Brothers
of this city. and Is the first of a group of
six bungalows to be constructed by the
