the cable came to the effect that a
passage was reserved for her and mon

except what her father gave her.
When the morning Of her departure
came poor Peg woke with a heavy
heart. 1t was their first parting, and
she was miserable.
O'Connell. on the contrary. seemed
full Of life and high spirits. He
laughed ut her and joked with her and
made a little bundle Of some things

he had kept for her to the last minute.
They were a rosary that had been his

gave him the day he was confirmed
and lastly the little miniature Of An

1t. but he wanted Peg to have 1t near
her, especially as she was going

He kept telling her there was nothing
to be sad about. 1t was all going to

BUCKMAN STATES.
SENATE ATTITUDE
Declares That Revenues Will Be
Held Up as the Standard to
Go by in Bills

Senator c. J. Buckman, chairman
of the Senate appropriations commit
tee, last night issued this statement:
."As chairman of the Senate committee
on appropriations which is charged
with the duty of visiting and inspect
ing the various hospitals, insane asy-
.lums and other charitable institutions
seeking State aid, l have been besieg-
ed with applications from persons VINO
are desirous of accompanying the
committees representatives at the eX-
pense of the State. II the impression
prevails that these tours of inspection
are pleasure trips, wish to correct 1t
Immediately. Their purpose is to save
the States money, not to spend 1t. In
view of these facts. and also that a
resolution has been introduced into
the House recommending the discon-
tinuance of the inspections as an un-
necessary expense, the appropriations
committee of the Senate feels that an
explanation is due from 1t to the pub
lie. Since the committee on appropria-
tions are held responsible for the ap-
preparations they recommend, 1t is OF
vital importance that they should pro-
ceed with their eyes open in regard to
these charitable outlays. which con-
stitute a very considerable portion of
the States disbursements. True. the
Board of Charities is presumed to do
the work of inspection itself, but the
boards point of view is necessarily
that of n pleader, rather than of the
body which pays the bills.
"I may state that the Board of
Charities has already recommended
much larger appropriations than will
| be available at this session. If we
were to scale down all appropriation

Hearings Fixed For
the Coming Month

Hearings were accorded last night
on two bills pending before the lower
branch of the Legislature and dates
set for a number during March, it be-
ing the plan of the legislators to ad-
journ until March 1 when work is
ended for this week. a general dis
cussion was held by the committee on
judiciary general on the Spangler bill
to abolish the fee system for county
officers and it will be further consider
ed. The education committee heard
committees from Schuylkill county
urging that school districts be allowed
to hold their own institutes instead of
a general institute
Announcement was made that the
Senate judiciary special and House
manufactures committee would hold
a joint hearing on the child labor
bills on March Q. The House ways
and means committee will give a hear
ing on March 2 on the repeal of the
mercantile tax and on March on the
second class city property tax bill.
Consideration of the local option
bill was fixed for March 2 by the
House law and order committee which
indefinitely postponed the bills to per-
init fishing on Sunday, for a State
commission to regulate boxing, regu-
lating billboards and regulating Sig
natures of license petitions.
Arrangements were made for for
ther hearings by the House municipal
corporations committee on the trading
stamp and third class city bills. ].

the county Jail one day for each dollar
of the fine.
The point of the amendment which
will make the dealers most cautious,
however, and which will enable the
guardians of the welfare of juvenile
population to bring quick and sum-
mary action against any violators is
the provision that prosecution may be
brought before any alderman, magis-
trate or justice of the peace.
The Childrep's Aid Society, the So
ciety for the Protection of Children
from Cruelty, the Court Aid Society,
the officials and probation officers of
the Juvenile court are very much in
terested in Representative Stern's bill,
and, il it is amended, intend seeing
that vigilant watch and summary
action seals up the sources of supply
from which youngsters secure cigarets
and cigaret papers. The act amend
ment was drawn up by Charles T.
Walker, of Philadelphia, at the request
of Judge Brown.

pro rata, great injustice would be done
in many cases.
''As illustrating the value of per-
sonal and unexpected visits from rep
resentatiVes of the appropriations
committee, one such inspection in the
past brought to light the fact that a
hospital receiving State aid was sup
porting charity patients who lived in
New Jersey. In another hospital. the
committee found that the manage
ment had put the nurses into beds in
order to make it appear that the in
stitution was worthy of generous help.
Governor Brumbaugh considers these
inspections of such Importance that he
has signified his desire to accompany
the chairmen of the two appropria-
tions committees on a visit to some
of the larger institutions which have
been receiving the most liberal assist
ance. I may say, however, with this
single exception. as far as the Senate
committee is concerned, only members
of the committee, or, when necessary,
employees of the committee, will be
permitted to make these tours, or any
of them at the expense of the State

LEGISLATIVE NEWS
INSURANCE STUDY
FOR LEGISLATURE
Baldwin Commission Finds That
There Are Some Reckless Fire
Insurance Companies

Combinations of insurance compan-
les are declared in the report filed with
the Legislature last night by the State
commission to investigate methods of
fire insurance companies, to be in 'ac-
cordance with wise public policy, are
necessary to the solvency of the in
surance companies and are beneficial
to the public" The commission was
named last year in accordance with
an act of 1913 and consisted of Sena-
tor William +. Crow, Representatives
r. j. Baldwin and r. S. Frey, Joseph
S. Alexander and Frank Mccain. 1t
held hearings throughout the State,
inquiring into the practices of fire in
surance companies, especially in rat
ing, and its report is Voluminous re-
view of insurance in the State.
Among the conclusions adduced
from the testimony are that there are
some matters caused by reckless COM
panies which require legislative action.
1t is stated that there is no legal stand
ard policy in the State and that uni
formity and standardization of con-
tract are of great value to the insur-
ing public. 1t is stated that the fire
marshals department of the State
government will be instrumental in
forcing a marked decrease in the
burning ratio of the State and will
prove a benefit to the people at large.
The amendments proposed to the act
creating the department are COM
mended.
Commissions are declared to be the
largest item of expense and in the
opinion of the commission could be
reduced so as to make a very sub
stantial saving to the companies and
yet not mean encouragement to the
legitimate agent or underwater" State
rating would be a very expensive pro-
position to undertake, says the report
and State insurance is declared i'm
practical.
The commission concludes that
while the great majority of companies
mbinatlons and boards are not or
ganized against the public, there are
some companies which do not adhere
to their own rules and depart from the
rates of their associations. If the pub
lie was fully informed on fire insurance
says the report in closing there would
be less criticism.
Acts to bring about changes in
various features of insurance are sug-
gested.

ANTI-C|GARET IS
AGAIN To THE FORE
Judge Brown Has a Bill Prepared
~ Which viii Make Enforcement
Easier Matter

Although a law which forbids the
sale of cigarets or cigaret paper to
minors was enacted at the legislative
session of 1913, it has been found hard
to inflict punishment on dealers or
other persons who broke this law, and
consequently it is said minors have
been getting cigarets from dealers
who would take chances.
Juvenile welfare associations and
court authorities have been anxious
to vigorously enforce this anticigaret
law. Therefore they have had an
amendment framed to the act of 1913
This amendment was introduced in the
House yesterday by Representative
Isadore Stern, at the request of Presi-
dent Judge Charles l.. Brown. of the
Municipal Court of Philadelphia
The act of 1913 provides a fine of
not less than 500 and not more than
$500. The amendment reduces the
fine to not less than IS and not more
than S25 for each offense and. in de-
fault of payment of the fine provides
that the violator can be imprisoned in
