E613UW according to an
opinion given to
E=z==stssz==e.- .-.:srEj the State Game
Commission to-day
by Deputy Attorney General j. Il. b.
Cunningham.
Secretary Kalbfus, of the Game
Commission, ruled recently that coun-
ties must pay the bounties to people
who present scalps whether the legis-
lature makes an appropriation or not,
but this was objected to. Mr.. Cum
ningham rules that the acts of 1907
and 1913 make the counties legally
liable TO persons presenting proper
certificates for payment of bounties.
The fact that there are now no funds
specifically appropriated to reim
burse counties for payments of boun-
les does not affect the matter.
Petitions Filed Nominating petit
tions were filed to-day as follows: SEN
ate, Maxwell Chapman, Dunmore,
Washington, Lackawanna district.
State committee, Democratic, John j.
Murray and John w. Robinson, Pitts
burgh, Forty-second district; John NJ
Sheedy, Altoona, Blair county; Repub-
lican, Paul j. Edwards, Wellsboro,
Tioga county: Washington, Frank w.
Stewart, Huntingdon, Huntingdon
county.
Mr. GNlnSS - lIuleSS.--N ora TecelN-
ed at the Capitol to-day at noon told
of the critical state of the illness of
chairman Nathaniel Ewing, of the
Public Service Commission, at his
home in Uniontown. The Judge has
been seriously i'll since he left here in
January.
Powell to Answer.-Auditor General
| Powell left to-day for Philadelphia
where he will consult M. Hampton
Todd. former attorney general, and
David T. Watson as to his answer in
the mandamus suit brought to force
payment of the automobile license
revenue for State highway improve
ments. 1t Is believed that Mr.. Powell
| will answer some days before April 6,
the date on which the mandamus pro-
lceedings Is returnable. The suit
makes a demand for S1,035 for a Mif-
| fin county limestone company as q
test, setting forth that on February l G.,
the date of the demand there was in
the treasury large sum of money
received from licenses since January l..
The Auditor General will probably set
forth the specific appropriation act as
mis- defense and that will mean long
! cattle.
