STATE BUDGET TO BE
ABOUT $67,OOO,OOO
Governor Expected to Cut Lit
tie of the General Appropria-
tion Fund.
by a sta1 Correspondent

HARRISBURG, May 2O.-The appro.
priation bills passed by the Legislature
which adjourns today, carry approx.
mately s67.00O.OO as against almost
s0.0o0000 in the bills which Governor
Tener knitted two years ago. The ap-
propriations made this session are within
$2,00o,00O of the estimated revenue for
the next two years. and Governor Brum-
baugh win be forced to cut them very
little.
There were 4O3 appropriation meas
ures passed by this Assembly, including
the general appropriation bill. Whatever
cuts Governor Brumbaugh may make
will probably be in the general ap-
preparation bill, as that measure carries
appropriations for bureaus and boards
which will not start their work for some
time.
The approximate amounts voted the
larger activities follow:
Education (public, normal, voca tional
and higher education), SIS, 100000.
State highways, Ss,400.OOO.
Operation of child labor and compen-
sation acts. $4,000, 600.
State, semistate and charitable in
stitutions. 81, 100000.
The appropriation for education is
$1.430.000 larger than two years ago The
highways appropriation contains $500, 900
for the abolition OF toll roads This
means that during the next two years
$4,000 900 of toll roads will be abolished,
as in the counties in which the roads
are bought the counties themselves must
pay half the cost.

ONE H0LD-UP NOT ENOUGH:
THIS MAN TRIES TWO
Tenderloin Habitue Believes in APP
plying Modern Methods.

One hold-up at a time does not appeal
to Eugene Burk. He proved this today
and incidentally furnished plenty of ex-
element In the Tenderloin.
He dropped in to the arsenal" restau-
rant, at 10th and Winter streets, and
started an argument with Arthur No
pert. another patron, about the war.
Then he took Sc and watch from No
pert's pockets. the police say. and es-
capped.
Later Burk went to a saloon at sth and
Cherry streets. There he started an ar
gument with James Henry, and took
$50 from his pocket. The bartender saw
the operation and summoned Sergeant
Callahan. He took Burk and Henry to
the 11th and Winter streets station.
On the way to the station Callahan and
his prisoner passed Nopert, who told the
Sergeant that Burk had also robbed him.
A few yards further Sergeant Preston
Joined the procession and walked along
side OF Burk. The hold-up man handed
him the watch on the quiet. Keep this"
he said, land they won't have anything
on me-"
Burk. who gave his address as Third
and Race streets, was held Under $1,000
bail by Magistrate Emely. Nopert said
he lived in Lancastervlle, and Henry
said his home was in EIkins Park. They
were each held under $500 bail as wit
nesses.

SUBMARINE SPARES SHIP
THAT RESCUED VICTIMS
Philadelphia Woman Writes OF
Thrilling "War Zone" Experience.

lhrllllng war Zone Experience.
A brief letter describing in the terse
wartime phrases that make light of hard
ship her experience on a torpedoed Nor
wegtan steamship has been received from
Mrs, b. M. Larsen. who lives much of the
time in this city. by her mother. Mrs.
Barbara NJ. Amonson. OF Newton. Mrs
Larsen is the wife of retired sea cap
tain, who was for some years British
Consul General at Porto Cortez, Hon
duras.
Captain and Mrs. Larsen were guests Of
Captain Endresen, master OF the Norwe-
gtan steamship America. The ship was
torpedoed In the North Sea, May /, and
after the two Philadelphians and the SO
members OF the crew had been In open
boats IL hours they were picked up by
another Norwegian boat the Sterling.
They were proceeding in this when Ger
man submarine, apparently the one that
torpedoed the America, halted them Cap
tain Endresen went aboard the submeF-
sible. and after he had explained how he
rescued the crew and passengers OF the
America the German submarine captain
permitted him to continue. Captain and

BURNS DIGS UP
NEW EVIDENCE


Continued from Page One
pare TO throw the revelations of Detective
William ]. Burns before the public with
| out any fear of embarrassing the
Governor
Mr.. Burns, when pressed further today
to give some hint Of what disclosures
might he expected as n result OF his four
years investigation OF the alleged cor
ruption and crookedness behind the deals
of the big Republican leaders and their
lieutenants In City Councils. referred all
questions to the Mayor.
II have placed myself at the Mayors
service" lie said, "and II would be dis
courteous for me to make any public
statement regarding the matter, as every
thing is In his hands The next move
will have to be determined upon by the
Mayor"
When asked yesterday what he had to
say of the detectives statements, Senator
McNichol smiled and said he knew so lit
tie of the Burns story that to answer
questions would be absurd. The Repub-
lican party" tho Senator said. 'Is on tho
way TO success, and eleventh hour dec
laratlons will not change the situation"
Attorney General Brown said yesterday
that he was looking up whether concur
rent resolutions require the signature of
the Governor" He did not say whether
the request for this information came
from the Governor or not. At the Gov
ernor's office in Harrisburg 1t was said
that the resolution was expected to reach
Governor Brumbaugh at any time
II has heretofore been n disputed ques-
tion whether concurrent resolutions are
supposed to be signed by the Governor or
not. The Attorney General today said
that, after searching through the books
In his office, he found that no decision of
tho courts hns ever definitely settled the
question. and that the only law on the
matter states that only resolutions in
volvinS legislation are to be signed by the
Governor. excepting resolutions providing
a constitutional amendment and for ad-
journment of the Legislature
THE Wilson resolution is for the crea-
tion OF an investigating commission and
does not legislate," he said In explana-
tion. The decision establishes a prece-
dent for the guidance of Governors in the
future.
The appointment of the members OF the
commission is expected to be made to-
day. 1t is freely predicted that four OF
the six members will be Ware men. Rep
resentative Wilson. swho introduced the
resolution, will be chairman, and Speaker
Ambler, II was said today, will name
two other Ware men as the members of
the House. Senator Ware and two Nc
Nichol men will be named by Senator
Kline. president pro tenn. OF the Senate.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY
OF THE PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCH IN SESSION
More Than 1900 Commits
sioners Attend 127th An
nual Meeting at Reches-
ter, N. Y.-Lively Con-
test for Moderator.

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, May 20.-A spirited
campaign Is being made by ministerial
and lay friends Of at least three candi-
dates for the place of Moderator of the
Presbyterian General Assembly, with in
dlcations pointing strongly toward the
Rev. J. Ross Stevenson, d. D., Ill. D.,
president OF Princeton Theological Semln-
ary. as the favorite.
Moro than 1900 commissioners are at
the 127th General Assembly and they filled
Central Presbyterian Church when the
meeting began at 1090 o'clock this morn
ing. Every state In the Union was repre-
sented. The Rev. Maitland Alexander,
d. D.. LII. D., of Pittsburgh. retiring
Moderator, preached the opening SER
mon. 1t was followed by Communion,
in which the first set Of Individual com
munlon cups ever used In the church
in this country was in service.
Relative to the election of a Moderator
It is pointed out that Doctor Stevenson
Is a man who would satisfy both the
South and the East, both of which sec
tons seem TO think that they should be
considered IN the selection of a Moder-
ator. Commissioners from the East point
out the fact that the office of Moderator
should come here by rotation, while the
Southerners claim the office because no
man from that section has been Moder-
ator OF General Assembly in a great many
years.
Doctor Stevenson, who is a graduate OF
Washington and Jefferson College and the
Mccormick Theological Seminary of Chi
cago, has until recently been pastor of the
Brown Memorial Church, in Baltimore.
He is prominent In the student volunteer
movement Before going to Baltimore
Doctor Stevenson was pastor of the Fifth
Avenue Church In New York.
Apart from Doctor Stevenson, the
most prominently mentioned candidate is
the Rev George b Stewart. D. D., presi-
dent of Auburn Theological Seminary.
He has been president of the Auburn
Seminary for 10 years and is considered
one of the best type of men in the church.
He represents the middle ground IN
thought and position. being neither
strongly conservative nor over-radical
The Rev. A. " " Raymond. pastor OF
the First Presbyterian Church of Buff
falo, formerly an officer of Union Col
lege, has a good following.

DEFENSE, NOT WAR, IS
AIM OF U. s., GARRISON
TELLS CONFERENCE
"Justice and Righteousness
Must Be Prepared to
Fight Injustice and I'm

retary Before Peace
Gathering.

LAKE MOHONK, N. 7, May 20.-"Jus-
tice and righteousness must be pre-
pared to fight injustice and unrlghteous-
forces in the world"
So declared Secretary of War Garrison
today before the International Conference
on Arbitration. He spoke on military
preparedness as Insurance against war

national defense policy.
Does the Individual invite evil by pre-
pairing himself to Withstand temptation"
Garrison demanded. docs the citizen in

vite the latter and make 1t more likely
to occur7 Surely none OF these things
are so. and Just as surely there ls no
rational basis for believing that a nation

and makes proper military preparations

WHAT is MIL1TAR1SM?
"Mlltarism Is used az term Of re-
proach to divert proper consideration of
what must be considered, II the subject
is to be considered at all. Militarism, in
the sense OF having the military force in
terfere in the slightest with the conduct
OF our Government by our civil authorl-
ties, is not conceivable In this country, is
not urged by any one and is not feared
even by those who use the word in that
sense, so as to prevent proper considera-
tion and to confuse the public mind.
"Militarlsm, in the sense of the abso-
Lutte necessity of proper military precau
tions and military preparations, is the
very subject matter for consideration; 1t
is the imperative question for decision,
and II needs stout hearts and sound
minds to decide 1t.
I'VE are surely not so deluded as to
believe that we can reach by intuition
what others can only acquire by training
and experience. We are surely not so
sacrilegous or irreverent as to believe
that Providence has uniustly discrm-
mated in our favor and against the other
peoples of the world. We surely will not
admit that any vital national duty will
be neglected and left undone because we
shrink from the proper contemplation OF
1t. We surely will not admit that we are
unable to read history intelligently, to
consider facts relevantly and to reach
conclusions sensibly.
I'VE, as nation, are exceptionally set
apart only In one respect, namely the
freedom OF our people under our institu-
tlons to develop and expand and make
the most Of themselves without fetters
or restrictions. This was the great and
momentous contribution of the founders
OF our republic to the question of human
government 1t was epochal and of tre-
mendous import. II means more to the
future welfare of mankind than any other
existing political fact. The institutions

JAILED FOR SPYING ON CUPID
Park Guards Nab Man for Watching
Lovers and Would-be Rescuer.

The brilliant crescent moon played
many a prank last night
who's oor ducky-dove," cooed a 90
year-old swain.
You're my toosy-woosyw replied
the 1S-year-old object of his affections
His arm was around her slender waist
as they sat on a bench in Hunting Park.
The spectacle of age and youth reciprocal
ing with such affection was too much for
Walter Wolff, % years old, 2l6 Diamond
street. He moved closer, drawn by curios-
ity Then park guard grabbed him. for
it's against the park rules to spy on
lovers.
About this time along came Thomas
Carrigan, 1912 North 10th street. Too much
'moonshine" had gone to his head. and
he offered to lick" any park guard on
earth. Park Guard George Hartleln
grabbed him, Magistrate Boyle, of the
S9th street and Lancaster avenue station,
sent Wolff and Carrigan to the County
Prison for five days each.
