CONGRESSMAN WARES OPPORTUNITY

Nobody doubts the sincerity of Govenor-eect
Brumbaugh. Nobody familiar with the high char
acter and the fine public record of the man doubts
that he is perfectly honest in his intention, declared
before election and reiterated after election, to
carry out his party campaign pledges. Every
body believes that he meant it when he said he will
be an Embossed governor.
Yet it is conceivable that Governor Brumbaugh
may find that his hands tied, at least to some
extent when he sets about carrying outhis pledges
that he may find somebody else undertaking to
control the Republican majority in the Legislature
in way to make difficult the enactment of those
laws that are in the Brumbaugh program.
1t is conceivable that Senator Penrose may un-
dertake to dictate the course of legislation and
endeavor to control the Republican wing of the
Legislature so that it would do the bidding of the
machine instead Of helping to carry out the Brunl-
baugh pledges, and in this event the opportunity
would present itself to Congressman William s..
Ware, of Philadelphia to swing his influence on the
side of progressive legislation and to uphold the
new governors hands. That Congressman Ware
may have some such idea i'll mind is indicated by
the following statement attributed to him to-day
by Philadelphia newspaper:
I believe that every pledge made in State platform
ought be carried out. As far concerned shall
endeavor assist in seeing that the pledges made to the
people carried out to the letter
1t is no secret that Congressman Ware has had
some differences with Senator Penrose and the
other repued dctators of the destinies of the Re-
publican organization. Ware has large following
in Philadelphia. He can control part Of the Repub-
lican forces of the Legislature. 1t was evident
even before election that all was not lovely between
Ware and Penrose True differences were patched
up in way to prevent the factional feeling having
any effect the vote for the Republican state
ticket on November 3, but that that feeling still
Aexists is evidenced by the fact that the Ware fol-
owing and the Penrose following from Philadel-
hia gre going to march separately in the parade
this city ON the occasion Of the Inauguration of
DIR. Brumbaugh as governor.
There is no positive evidence that Penrose is
going to endeavor to run the Legislature to suit
himself or to handicap the new Governor in the
latter's determination to carry out the Brumbaugh
program of progressive legislation, but should Pen
rose undertake anything of the kind the opportu-
nifty would present itself to Congressman Ware to
lend his influence in the opposite direction. Con-
gressman Ware could, by swinging that part of the
Philadelphia Legislative delegation that is friendly
to him, unite with those Republican Lawmakers
who are independent of dictators and make it very
interesting for any faction of the party which
might undertake to upset the plans of the new
Governor

Stories OF Great Interest

Thrilling Novel

1t was the hottest day of the har-
vest. The sun IF that eastern land

boy of the household sought his father
and the reapers in the field.
He no sooner reaches them than he
throws his hands 20 his head and erie,
aloud:
MY head, my head. -
We can imagine the alarm of the
father, but he did what many father
has done since his dav--relieved him
self of the responsibility by saying TO
his servant: Cary him to his
mother.
1t was a sad procession. white

the arms of the reapers, sad-faced

Ralph Fariss the Bakersfield youth
who has twice been sentenced

ing guilty to train robbery and muir
der was taken to San Quentin peni-
tertiary Monday.

signed by Judge Gavin w Craig, of
the criminal department of the
supreme court, Fariss will be eveeul-
ed Friday. March 9th, between 10
O'Clock in the morning and 4 o'clock

Judge Craig, in signing the death
warrant respected the wishes of
the condemned youth and his father,
James F. Fariss of Bakersfield, and
used the name under which the muir
derer was arrested, John Bostick.
There are only two possible means
for Fariss to avoid the moose. These
are the clemenoy of the governor and
an appeal to the supreme court.

would be taken Immediately. This
appeal would not prevent county Of

but it would act as a stay of execn-

was denied, Fariss would have to be
brought back to be sentenced
to death a third time.

Five thousand One n
Eiebfy Deer Cost IL Human Lives

The killing of $3.50 deer in Maine,
New Hampshire, Vermont and
Massachusetts this fall cost the lives
of thirteen persons and more or less
serious injuries to seventy-two others.
The deer season closed in Massachu-
sets a week ago and in Vermont Jan.
4. but sportsmen in Maine and New
Hampshire have two weeks OF the
open season left.
Maine, as usual, leads the New
England states in the number of fa-
.~tallies. Of the eleven persons killed
in that state four were mistaken Tor
deer and shot by other sportsmen,
six were killed by the accidental dis
charge of their guns, and a little girl
was accidentally shot by an older
brother who was cleaning a rifle.
More than sixty persons were wound
ed during the season.
The New Hampshire and Vermont
shooting seasons were accompanied
by one fatality each. Four persons
were wounded in New Hampshire and
two in Vermont.
No one was killed during Massa-
chusetts' open week, but four per-
sons were slightly wounded, II be-
ing shot as he was bringing a deer
out of the woods on his shoulders.
Deer seem to have been more plen-
tiful in this state than in other parts
of New England. Although the sea-
son was of only one weeks duration,
1850 animals were killed in Massa-
chusetts. There were only three
counties in the state in which deer
were not shot-Suffolk. Dukes and
Nantucket counties, comprising
Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket is
lands.
Since the Maine season opened on
October LIST, more than 1900 deer
and forty-fve moose have been killed
in that state. In New Hampshire,
where each county has its W open
hunting season, about 100 deer have
been shot. The same conditions pre-
vail in Vermont, where 1000 deer
have been killed.

NEWS OF The WEEK


DR.. S. Weir Mitchell, noted author
and physician, died at his home in
Philadelphia, Sunday. Death was due
to influenza, the seriousness of which
was accumulated by his advanced age.
He was in his S5th year.
DR.. Mitchell's fame, both as a ply
stefan and an author, was interna-
tional. His last book appeared a
few months ago under the title
West Ways"
He was noted as a neurologist, and
his medical works were largely on
the subject of V diseases. He
was given honorary degrees by two
foreign universities and the degree
of LII. D., was bestowed upon him
by Harvard, Princeton and other in
situations in this country.
DR.. Mitchell was an advocate OF
the rest cure in the treatment OF
nervous diseases, and it has been
said that this had much to do with
making his reputation as a neurolo-
gist. He was born in Philadelphia,
February 10. 1929.
