makes final ELECTIONS
POSSIBLE IN PRIMARIES

If political organization is strong
enough in the primaries to poll fifty
one per cent. of the vote for candi-
dates it is backing for Mayor and City
Commissioners in third class cities there
will be no contest for the general elec-
ton under an amended Senate bill re-
from the committee on, Municipal Cor
porations.
The bill, introduced in the Senate
and passed by that branch, provided
that in the event of a candidate for
Mayor of third class city polling
fifty-one per cent. of the votes in the
primaries he would be declared elected
without contest at the general elec-
ton. This measure was amended in
the House committee to include also
candidates for City Commissioners.
AS the Clark commission form of
government bill now stands, two can.
didates for Mayor and eight for Com
missioners must go before the electors
at the general election, the men running
being those having received the highest
numbers of votes in the primaries.
While the election is on a nonpar-
tisan plan and all candidates are voted
for at the primaries irrespective of
their political affiliations. yet it would
be possible for political party to get
through a slate for all the offices at the
primaries and do away with contest
at the general election,

to go back to the Senate for concur.

JUDGE TO DECIDE ON fees
McCarrell Will Rule as to Whether Con-
stables Who Did Not Sue
Will Get Them

Whether the present Board of Coun-
ty Commissioners is required to pay
constubles back fees alleged to be due
them under the act of 1901 because a
former Board of Commissioners agreed
to pay them if the county was held by
the court to be liable, is question
Judge McCarrell will be asked to de-
eide, so it was announced to-day. The
fees were not paid before because of the
belief that the act boosting the con
stables charges was not constitutional.
Now the constables who did not sue
out their claims before are barred by
technicalities from bringing suit to re-
cover the money, and their only hope
rests in the promise of the old Board of
Commissioners.
The opinion is to come as an inter
pretation of decision which Judge Me-
Carreli recently filed in the case of
Constable George W. Charters. Char
ters, acting for. dozen or more con-
stables, brought test case to have the
court determine whether the county
was liable for the fee increases provid-
ed by the act of 1901. The court
held that the constables should receive
that money and the eonstables who con-
tributed toward staging the legal fight
did receive it, Now those who did not
sue want the back fees.

FIRST DOC ENTERS Capitol
Donald Passes Guards After Diff
ficulty, Then Pleads Ior Anti
vivisection Bill

Not since the famous pig invaded
the State Capitol some weeks ago has
there been as much excitement caused
by any one animal on the Hill as that
aroused yesterday when "Douald," a
dog belonging to Adam Barley, $40
North street, appeared in the corridors
of the building.
Capitol guards objected at first to
" "Donald's" intrusion, but his part was
worthily taken by members of the S. P.
G. A. who accompanied him, and he was
accordingly admitted. He is believed
to have been the first dog who has been
permitted to investigate the interieT of
the Capitol.
The object of "Donald 8" visit was
to act as an exhibit before two com
mittees of the House of Representa-
tives. The Judiciary General Commit
tee was having hearing on bill $50,
opposed to vivisection, and the Judici-
ary Special Committee on bill 927, the
Hapgood dog bill. Before both these
august bodies "Donald' gave exhibi-
tions of dog tricks under the auspices
of members of the State S. P. C. A. and
of the Pennsylvania Anti-vivisection
society Inc purpose Oh tne PERFORM
ances was to arouse interest in "Don-
aid" in particular and, therefore, SYM
pathy for dogs in general.
Donald s" appearance on the way
to the committee rooms aroused some
curiosity, and the dog soon had quite
a following. Large crowds witnessed
his performances before the committees
"Donald' did not succeed in prevent
ing favorable action on the anti-vivisec-
ton bill, which will soon be reported
out of committee, but was influential in
having the Hapgood bin buried in com

NIELSON-GANZ CONCERT
Board Opens April for Big Musical
Event

A diagram for the concert to be Civ
en- by Alice Nelson, the prima donna
soprano of the Metropolitan Opera Com
pany, and Ruolph GAM the eminent
Swiss pianist, at Chestnut street audi
torium on the evening of Monday, April
II, will open at Sigler s music store,
80 North Second street, on Wednesday,
April Z. There, is already q big de-
mand for seats. which wild be sold at
the exceptionally low figure of so cents
for the lowest price and 81 so for the
highest. 1t is seldom that stars of the
magnitude of Nelson and GAM have
been induced to III pear on the same
platform at so low an admission charge.
Alice Nelson, who is one of the lead
ing sopranos of the Metropolitan and
Boston Opera Companies, has had one
of the most varied careers of any artist
on the grand opera stage to-day. Be-
ginning in her teens at the famous old
Tivol of many memories, she joined
the Bostonians at prima donna and
in a very short time was so popular
that She was at the head, of her own
opera company, touring tine country.
Taking her company to Europe she
there decided to devote herself to grand
opera, relinquishing the fame and for
tune that had come to her in the light
opera field and beginning all over again
as student. Since then she has sung
continually in the great cities of
Europe, London, New York, Boston and
elsewhere in COM: any with such noted
artists as Melba, Destinn, Caruso and
others. At present she has as many re-
turn dates as any singer before the
American public and delights her au-
dience wherever she goes.
There will be nothing monotonous
about the program during the concert
here, for Miss Nelson viii be accom-
panied by Rudolph GAM, pianist as
famous in the world of instrumental mu-
sic as the great soprano is among vo-
calists. Ganz is one of the all too few
players to whom the piano is an nstru.
ment of tone and expression, and added
to this he has technique that is the
wonder of all who have heard him and
embraces the compositions of all the ia.
