BRUMBAUCH and M'CLAIN
celebrate same BIRTHDAY
Governor Is 53 To-day and the Lieu
tenant Governor 81, and Their
Friends Heap Congratulations Upon
Them at the Capitol

Senate routine was interrupted early
this afternoon when Lieutenant Gov
ernor McClain was in the chair. Sena.
tor Sproul, of Delaware, "father of the
Senate, remarked upon the coincidence
that the Governor and Lieutenant Gov
ernor both are celebrating their birth
day anniversary to-day, the former be-
ing SO and the latter 81.
Senator Sproul presented MIR. Me
Claim in behalf of the Senators with a
vase of handsome cred roses of Ian
caster. :" The roses, long-stemmed
American beauties, dotting heavy banks
of foliage, were borne to the head of the
main aisle by two pages while Senator
Sproul was speaking. They were set
in vase four feet high. Senator Sproul
made some congratulatory remarks to
which the Lieutenant Governor replied.
The Senate then took short recess,
during which the members, attaches and
other spectators crowded about the Ian
casterian to extend their good wishes in
person.
Governor Brumbaugh put in the same
kind of day which has characterized
his entire administration. He seeming
ly was the only person on the hill ignor-
ant of his birthday anniversary and
was too busy in conferences about his
local option fight and other matters to
receive more than passing congratula-
tions.

FIREMEN SAY COMPANIES
Get TOO little SUPPORT
Members of Union at Meeting Last
Night Assert They Must Often
Meet Defcits-A. L. Patton Elect
ed Delegate to State Convention

AT the meeting of the Firemen g
Union held in the Mount Vernon truck
house last evening, it was the unani-
nous sentiment of those present that
more money was needed for the sup
port of the fire department of this
city, each company receiving annually
about 1000 less than is appropriat-
ed to fire companies in other cities of
this commonwealth, known as third
class cities. Frequently say the fire.
men they have to chip in to make up
deficits on horse feed, harness supplies,
horse shoeing, and other necessary
items. They are preparing for a car
nival on May II, to raise money to
help meet these and other necessary
expenses.
The firemen ask for six smoke:pro-
tecting helmets, two to be placed on
each hook and ladder truck. The i'm
portance of these has been made very
manifest at recent fires, they assert.
They also ask for a revised map,
one for each company, showing the
location of all the fire plugs in the
city. 1t seems that now and then a
plug is changed from one locality to
another, and that new plugs are put
in without any notice to the fire de-
partment.
A. L. Patton, of the Rely hose, was
elected delegate to the next State
Firemen's convention. Copies of the
new constitution and bylaws of the
Firemen s Union were handed to the
members. Comments were made upon
the unusual number of fires in our
city since the first of January, and
the small comparative loss attributed
to prompt service.
There were no complaints of police
interference since the March meeting,
and all seems to be harmony again.
The Firemen s Union did not deem it
wise to take any action on the propos-
ed, local option law, since no instruc-
tions from the various fire companies
on the subject had been received.
1t was decided that hereafter when
sermons are delivered by chaplains to
the respective companies, that all the
other fire companies be invited to the
services. Messrs. Ayars, of the Wash
ington; Vert, of the Citizen; Rain,
of the Friendship; Tawney, of the
Royal, and Patton, of the Reilly, were
appointed a committee on social
events.

WILL GRANT A HEARING
ON SOOTHING SYRUP BILL

Patent medicine interests got busy
At the Capitol to-day with the result
that the bill introduced by Senator
Plymouth w. Snyder, of Blair, regulat-
ing the sale of infants soothing sy-
rups" and similar medicines, was sent
back to the Senate Committee on Pub
lie Health and Sanitation for hear
ing. The hearing will be held to-mor-
row afternoon at O'Clock. The bill
had reached the third reading stage in
the Senate.
The measure forbids the sale of any
patent medicine for infants less than
three years old if it contains any Opt
um, morphine, heroin or codeine. 1t
specifically provides that the act shall
in no way be construed to forbid a
practicing physician from prescribing
any medicine containing any of the
drugs mentioned
Senator Snyder, who is retail drug
gist, living in Altoona, says that the
bill will be passed. He agreed to the
hearing as matter of courtesy.

Fighting in Dardanelles
Is Resumed With
Sultan'S Forces TAX
ing the Offensive
SAYS RUSSIANS
GET BIG CHECK
Austrian Official States CSar's Troops
Were Given Terrible Setback in,
the Carpathians, but Denial Is on
Heels of Story

After prolonged lull in the opera
tions at the Dardanelles, lighting has
been resumed on small scale. An Of
ficial report from Constantinople says
the batteries at the entrance to the
straits were bombarded yesterday and
that cruiser and destroyer were
struck by the Turkish fire.
Messages from Vienna to Rome
quote an Austrian official as saying
that a state of siege probably will be
proclaimed in Austria, on account Of
popular unrest occasioned by the ad-
vance of the Russians through the Car
pathians. 1t is reported also that EN-
peror Francis Joseph has decided to
make the territorial concessions desir-
ed by Italy provided that nation will
take up arms for Austria and Ger
many. This report, however, is not
generally credited in Rome.
The Austrian announcement that
the Russians have been checked in the
Carpathians is disputed at Petrograd,
where it is said that further advances
have been made. Uzock Pass apparent
ly is the key to the situation, and on
account of the strong forces of Aus
trians and Germans massed in this dis
trict, the Russians have been unable
to force their way through. The last
Russian official report, however, an
nounced the capture of three villages
and 2,7OO prisoners in the fighting
near the pass.
| The British Parliament meets to-day

portant collateral issues presented by

lem will be discussed and the govern
ment may announce its decision in

ance or prohibition. Announcement also
is expected concerning the govern
ment's plan for utilizing the nations
resources for the manufacture of war
munitions
After a twelve-hour battle the Rus
SLAMS have captured another section of
the mountain barrier between Galicie
and Hungary. A dispatch from Lem
berg, Galicia, tells of Russian attack
on the Austrian forces at Mezolaorcz,
in the East Beskids. The Austrians
were forced to give ground and 1t is
said the main mountain crest in this
section, considered inpregnable, has
passed to the hands of the Russians.
This battle was an incident in a
struggle of unusual severity now in
progress along a front of more than
100 miles from Bartfeld, Northern Hun
gary, to stry, Eastern Galicia. Petro-
grad reports that both sides are at
tacking simultaneously and that the
losses are heavy. The Austrians in
! Bukowina and the Germans in North
ern Poland are making small move
ments, interpreted in Petrograd as in
tended to force the Russians to with
draw some of their troops from the
Carpathian front.
In France and Belgium only small
engagements occurred yesterday. The
official report from Berlin mentions
several French attacks in the Meuse-
Moselle region, where the fighting re-
