final attempt to save H. f, Filler, of

to have the supreme court pass upon

the trial. Justices Pitney and Hughes

attempt now will be made to induce
the former to refer the application TO

ROYAL PLANNING
GALLERY PLAYS
Hopes Commissioners Lynch,
Bowman and Taylor Will
Name Chief of Police

Harrisburg will be without the SER
vices of a regularly appointed chief
of police after Friday from present
indications because of the failure OF
Mayor John X. Royal to recommend
anyone to date to succeed Colonel
Joseph B. Hutchison. The ColoneIs
resignation becomes effective Octo-
ber Is.
Mayor Royal it is said. has taken
no action in order to get what politi-
cal advantage he can out of any eff
fort of his fellow councilmen, Com
missioners Bowman, Lynch and Tay-
lor to suggest a man.
The Mayor, 1t is believed. is hop
ing the latter three will name some
one in order to give him a chance to
do some more gallery playing.
Commissioners Bowman, Lynch
and Taylor, however, have declared
right along that they will await the
recommendations of the Mayor.
Some suggestion to succeed Colonel
Hutchison was expected at to-day
session of Council but Mayor Royal
put in no names. The chances are
that Captain Joseph p. Thompson will
fill in temporarily as chief after Colo
mel Hutchisons departure.
Council was in session but a short
time this afternoon. The ordinance
authorizing the construction of a
bridge over Paxton creek at Lyme

luton was adopted authorizing City

A Nation of Women.

Previous, to the European war, Great Britan had an excess OT women. This disproportion is far greater now since so many British men. hays been slaughter in the conflict. England may become nation of women, oper- ated and peopled in an ovar-whelm- ingly feminine way. London alone employees over 50,000 women clerks. This one occupation has passed al most entirely into woman's hands. Formerly women physicians were drowned upon and unbelievable ob- stacles placed in the way of acqulr- ing this profession. Now the damand for woman doctors is greater than
 he supply. Every position is open to. them. Even the posts of house physician and house surgeon in insti- tutions are offered to women. some of the boards of guardians are SO pressed for doctors that they have cast aside prejudice and are impor, tuning women physicians to accept ! appointments. Infirmary doctors (men) in the Whitechapel district have heretofore received $500 per year, now advertisements offer vhc same position to women doctors, at salary of 5000 per year and emolu- ments Perhaps the most significant change of all has been the appoint-- ment of Miss Presley Smith to be as- sistant secretary in the British lega- tion at Christiana. Norway. This IS the answer Sir Edward Grey gives to several members of parliament who questioned his attitude on the equal rights of women. Sir Edward Grey, in an appointing a woman to the diplomatic service has silenced all critics of his sincerely. Miss Smith will not be unique in Norway, as that country already has a.wom- an on it's diplomatic roll.
