wind and snow. The kejevab is the
more elaborate conveyance, heavier and
more expensive to hire, and therefore
is used chiefly by the richer classes.
But the most comfortable means of
travel and one which is used only
by the wealthiest and most luxurious
classes is the takhtiravan This is a
sort of palaquin consisting of box
about seven feet long and five feet
high, fitted with doors and windows.
Inside are soft mattress and some
comfortable cushions. The whole is
built on the sedan chair principle, but
with mules instead of men as bearers.
The poles rest on the pack saddle on
the backs of the mules, which walk
tandem. They can. of course, only be
used in the long plains and are useless
when the route goes over hilly coun-
ing ship. and some people even get
giddy and seasick at first In them.

perforated metal fire box hanging on

harcoal. while on the other side swings
a heavy leather bottle full of water in
readiness TO prepare the pipe on the
road. A clever bearer prepares the APP

his master and hands him his ready
prepared smoking pipe to enjoy few
pulls.
The luncheon or tea horse Is another
necessity for the journey. Anywhere
on the high road it can be unloaded,

Election Bills Undergo
Changes; May Be Amended

When the amended copies OF the bill
supposed TO repeal the provision o1
the primary election law relative tC
presidential preferences were printed
o-day it was found the House cleo
tions committee had restored the pres
ent features of the act on this subject
L also put back the proviso that nomi-
ma tions can still be made by nomi-
nation papers.
The principal thing this bill does is
to allow the election of national COM
mitteemen at the meeting for organ
ization of the state committees. Under
this provision the successor of Henry
G.. Wasson. of Pittsburgh who was
put in as national committeeman by
William Finn when he left the Re-
publican party, could be elected be-
fore the national committee meets
prior to the Republican national con-
vention next year.
Evidently a mistake was made by
the elections committee in reporting
Senate bill $50. II repeals the section
of the Baker ballot law relating to
making nominations by nomination
papers. As II is not believed the Gov
ernor will approve this measure, it
likely will be sent back to committee
The measure the committee apparently
intended TO put out was Senate $40.

the Graham House bill amending the

her of the court. The bill also pro-
v,des that the court may at its dis
cretion designate two of the members

required to sit at hearings and removes
the mandatory provision that the court
must meet at least once year IN

tional with the court. Another pro-
vision is that the compensation OF pro-

not be affected by any compromise or
settlement before or after judgment.
The Governor also signed the Dill
prohibiting the use or sale OF any
balloons made or intended to contain
fire for purposes of ascension. This
measure will not apply to any balloon

tended to forbid the paper balloons

DRUG ACT PROSECUTIONS
HINGE ON APPEAL CASE
Arguments Begun in Supreme Court,
Government Asking Reversal
of Lower Court,

Scores of prosecutions for alleged
violation of the Harrison drug act of
1914 regulating the traffic and use of
opium depend upon the outcome of ar
guments begun today before the Su-
preme Court of the United States as to
the scope of the law.
Assistant Attorney General Wallace
explained the governments interpreta-
tion that the act made it unlawful for
any person not registered to haS,,
opium in his possession. Attorneys for
jim Fuzzy Moy, indicted in Pittsburgh,
Pa, on charge of having opium in his
possession. contended that the law was
limited in operation TO drug dealers and
did not extend to consumers.
The federal district court in western
Pennsylvania decided against the gov
ernment. which claims that unless the
Supreme Court reversed the lower
court traffic in opium will be inevita-
bly, diverted from reputable physicians
and druggists to the infamous class
of persons who for gain are willing to
pander to one of the most lamentab BILE
and miserable weaknesses Of human
