COLD WATER army Will
Invade CITY ON april 6
Law and Order Committee Selects That
Date for Open Hearing on Option
Bill-Reported Plan to Kill Meas
ure on Second Reading

Tuesday, April 6, will witness a
gathering of the cold water cohorts in
Harrisburg, that being the date agreed
upon this morning by the Law and Or
der Committee of the House on which
to hold the public hearing on the To-
cal option bill.
The hearing will take place in the
hall of the House, and besides the mem
bers of the committee is expected
there will be present many prominent
advocates of local option from a. parts
of the State.
Governor Brumbaugh has signifed
his intention of being present, and it is
probable that he will take occasion to
make an address and reiterate his in
tention to make the passage of the bill
ga fight to the finish.
The committee took MO other action
on local option and will not report the
bill out until the Governor gives the
word. This may be next week, so that
the bill will be before the House when
the big meeting is held, but it is more
likely to be deferred until after the
cold water conclave.
Philadelphia will send a special train
for the open hearing and more than a
thousand Philadelphians are expected to
be present to impress the members of
the House from that city Allegheny
county also will send a big delegation,
and from other parts of the State will
come friends of the local option meas,
ure, all to impress the legislators.
The anti-local option people will be
represented by speakers, but it is not
known yet who they will be. The State
Liquor League and the State Brewers
Association which has had representa-.
tives here for some time riay ask to be
heard and will keep watch on the bill
during its successive readings in the
| House.
1t is said that an attempt will he
made to kill The bill in the House on
second reading in order to get it ont of
the way of other legislation, and this
can easily be done if the opponents of
local option can muster the 140 votes
they claim.
Meanwhile Governor Brumbaugh is
continuing his local option crusade
among those members of the House re.
ported to be opposing the bill

to Commit Itself to Definite Policy
Which Is Said Not to Conform to

ing that the State Highway Depart
ment proceed with the repairs of the
present system of State roads and the

mental plans introduced this morning
by Henry 1. Wilson, of Jefferson, comes
up for action.
The resolution was laid over for
printing. Its sponsor said he is not
eager to have Immediate action, mere
ly desiring the House to go on record
in a matter of definite road policy.
The resolution endorces the Sproul
road bill of 1911 and asks that the
Highway Department proceed with the
repair of the roads.
This is understood to be against the
policy of the administration in regard
to State roads. Governor Brumbaugh
has said the Sproul bill is mistake
and that some of the roads should be
turned back to the townships for main
tenance.
Mr.. Wilson later introduced bill ap
propriating S5,000,000 to the Highway
Department for the Improvement and
repairing of State roads.
So far during this session of the
General Assembly no administration
legislation on State roads has been
advanced. The Wilson resolution is The
first effort of any kind in this session
to get definite action ON State high

most discussed in the session of 1913
when the $50,000,000 road loan was
passed for the second time, only to be
killed at the general election in 1913
1t was explained in connection with
the Wilson resolution that approx
mately $500 miles of State highways
were provided for as the beginning
of the State highway system and that
plans for approximately 1900 miles
were added subsequently and that the
failure of the people to pass the con.

NO CLAIM TO GERMAN LOVE.
Berlin Post Would Not Regret Americas
Knowing Bitter Necessities of War.

Berlin, via London, April 22.-The
Post in an editorial article entitled, "The
American Troubles" casts doubt upon
| the genuineness of the accident which
caused the grounding of the japanese
cruiser in Turtle bay, Lower California
The paper says there are two possible
explanations of this incident One is
an effort to put pressure upon Washing
ton to relieve the situation at Pekn,
while the other is an attempt to secure
a naval base in Mexico. This would
touch Americas sorest point, the paper
says, namely, the Monroe doctrine.
America must either give Japan free
hand in China or demand that Japan
leave Mexico. This latter would mean
war. Continuing, the paper says:
Germany would view such war with
mixed feelings. While we do not de-
sire victory of the yellow race over
the white, nevertheless, America has no
claim to the love or respect of the Ger.
mans We would be satisfied to know
that this country, which first became
state at an expenditure of German blood
and German energy, should, from its
present condition of unsympsthetic con-
tentment, come to know the bitter neces.
sites OF war"
