GOVERNOR FILLS
OWN PLACE THRICE
DR.. Brumbaugh Called Upon to Do
Something That No Governor
Has Ever Done Here
STATE BOARD SELECTIONS
Hensel Named For the Valley
Forge Park Commission; Legis-
lative Gossip Today

Governor Brumbaugh last night
appointed men to fill his own place
three times. 1t is probably the first
occasion on which Governor has been
called upon to name his own successor
so many times and the fact attracted
much attention on the Hill" especially
as he named a Democrat to one of the
positions.
The Democrat chosen was eX-At-
torney General W. L. Hensel, of Ian
caster. one of the foremost historians
of the State, who was appointed to
succeed the Governor as a member of
the Valley Forge Commission. DR..
Brumbaugh was named to the place by
Ex-Governor Samuel w. Pennypacker
and he took great pleasure in naming
his old Lancaster county friend to the
commission. Mr.. Hensel has been i'll
and the appointment will doubtless
give him great pleasure.
The vacancies on the State Board
of Education because of the resig
nation of the Governor and DR.. G.. NJ.
Phillips, now principal of the West
Chester State Normal School, were
filled by appointment of DR.. w. c.
Jacobs. who succeeded the Governor
as superintendent of the schools of
Philadelphia, and James NJ. Coughlin,
superintendent of the schools of
Wilkes-Ba Dr. Coughlin was a
member of the commission which
drafted the school code, serving with
the Governor, and is close personal
friend and as widely known as an edu-
Gator as DR.. Jacobs.
DIR. Samuel Hamilton, of Brad
dock, superintendent of the schools of
Allegheny county and one of the we'll
known educators of the country, for
mer president of the State Educational
Association and frequent visitor
here, and DIR. W. c. Crawford, presi-
dent of Allegheny College. Meadville
were named to fill vacancies on the
College and University Council. One
OF these vacancies was due to the re-
tirement of the Governor.
Judge C. E. Terry, of Wyoming
county, is likely to have a fight for re-
election this Fall. Bradley w. Lewis
is one of the men mentioned as likely
to enter the race.
Appointment of judge for Phil
adelphia is expected to be made by
the Governor this week.
Democrats in the Legislature are
watching with interest the course of
Congressman Palmer on the immigra-
tion bill.
The House had the usual fun over
absences last night. Mr.. Adams asked
leave for Mr.. Huber because of seri-
Gus illness. Mr.. Huber appeared in
five minutes and desired to be re-
corded.
-EX-R Representatives Heagy and
Cumbler. of the Second Dauphin dis
trict, were House visitors.
Representative Hibschman, Lam
caster, and -Iaggerty, LaclIawanna, are
sick and unable to attend this week s
sessions.
Representative Dell. Huntingdon,
presented the bill for the Blair Hos
pital at Huntingdon last night. 1t car
ries SIS. 900.
Numerous committee meetings are
scheduled for to-day.
Apparently the House is not to be
deluged with bills as it was last ses-
sion. a number of members have de-
clared that they have Governor Brum-
baugh's admonition not to force laws
on the people when they have more
than they know what to do with and
there is disposition to let the big bills
have attention and not to clutter up
the lists. More appropriation bills
have appeared than usual at this time.
How the Democratic machine
bosses and henchmen must gnash their
teeth as they think of Republicans
holding the places on Capitol Hill dur
ing the new administration and during
the Legislature. Some evidences of
the feeling were given this morning
and there was good bit of speculation
about the legislative halls as to what
hungry machine Democrats would do
if they got a chance. 1t will be re-
called that there were some Democrats
on the legislative payroll last session,
but the money they returned to the
Treasury did not amount to so awful
much.
Some of the bills making their ap-
pearance last night were old friends,
visitors from last session.
The hunters license repeater pre-
sented by Senator SchantZ. of Lehigh,
is part of his platform pledge.
