FIRE BLIGHT VERY
SERIOUS To STATE
Two-thirds of the Counties Are
Said to Have Been Affected
by the New Disease

Ravages of the tree disease known
as the fire blight are reported at the
Capitol to have extended into two
thirds of the counties of the State and
the disease has been spreading at Il
rate that is causing considerable alarm
among fruit growers, especially in the
southern counties of the State and in
the western sections. where extensive
orchards have been planted in recent
years. The blight is much like the
chestnut tree blight. which caused such
havoc in the eastern and southeastern
section, and the only remedy appears
to be to cut off the affected branches,
which is long and laborious process.
State Zoologist H. A. Surface, who
has received scores of samples of
branches affected by the blight and
who has been visiting localities where
1t has broken out. says that 1t is en-
dangering 76 per cent. of the pear
crop and fully SO per cent. of the
apple crop of the State. In view of
the development of orchards lately,
the loss to apple growers is likely to
be serious.

Asylum Will Be on States
Side of Case
BY Associated PreSt

New York, June 22.-Fifty wit
nesses summoned in behalf of Harry
K. Thaw in his effort to prove that he
is now sane and entitled to be set free
from the Matteawan asylum, were
present to-day at his trial before JUS
tice Hendricks and jury. This was
Thaw's fourth attempt to obtain his
freedom. from custody by a means of
habeas corpus, but was the first in
stance in which the plea was heard
by a jury. Justice Hendricks, how
ever, pointed out that the jury was an
advisory body and not trial jury. IF
they come to one conclusion while l
reach another, i shall not be bound
by their findings" he added.
Thaw was so confident of success
that he was planning to attend the
Panama-Pacific exposition after the
trial.
DIR. RAYMOND Kieb, superintendent
of Matteawan asylum and DR.. Carlos
Macdonald. an alienist, were prospec-
tive witnesses against Thaw.
Thaw was accompanied by mis-
mother and sister, Mrs. George Lau-
der Carnegie. He told newspaper men
he was confident he would be a free
man within two weeks.

PENROSE ADVOCATES
INCREASED FORCES
Addresses Sons of Veterans OF
Pennsylvania in Convention
In Philadelphia
By Associated Press

Philadelphia, June 22.-In an. a
dress before the members of the Sons
of Veterans of Pennsylvania at their
convention here to-day United States
Senator Penrose advocated a larger
army and navy. The convention is at
tended by members from all parts of
the State.
Senator Penrose in his speech said:
I'm these strenuous days and with
the charlatan and theorlst abroad we
are apt to forget those basic principles
inspired by Washington, Lincoln and
Grant We read much now about
theories of disarmament, of Hague
tribunals, of universal peace, and
latest of all. of a conference in this
city intended to urge the maintenance
of peace by force. We had the most
complete exhibition of all these suS-
gestions in the United States before
the Cicil War. We were to all pur-
poses, dfSarmed, we had established n
form of good government consisting of
supreme court and other Federal
courts which for it's originality and eff
fectiveness challenged the admiration
of students of politics the world over.
We had no idea of militarism and
were entirely devoted to commerce. to
the reclaiming and settlement of a
continental domain.
The Union of States was supposed
to be firmly established and a great
tribunal was provided in the supreme
court which would arbitrate and settle
all disputes. Liberty and free govern
ment were thought to be assured in
this republic, and yet we had a di-
vision among ourselves in which con-
ference and court had failed Resort
could be had only to the arbitrament
of war, within less than ninety years
of the foundation of the republic.
Lincoln realized that there are times
when war must come.
I'VE must be prepared for the ma
tional defense. We are not military
nation. We never waged a war for
aggression or for conquest. But we
would be ridiculous in the eyes of the
world and likely to invite attack and
invasion IL we deliberately neglected
reasonable defense"

WILL HAVE
FAR-REACH|NG EFFECT
Interstate Commerce Commission
Must Accept as Final Inter
probation of Clause
Stceial to The Telegraph

Washington, d. c., June 22.-The
government yesterday won O notable
victory in the unanimous opinion of
the United States Supreme Court en-
joining the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western Railroad from the transpor-
tation OF coal under the provisions of
a contract with Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western Coal Company. The coal
company is a subsidiary firm con-
trolled by the railroad company and Is
controlled by practically the same
officers.
Effect of the Decision
The greatest importance attaches to
the decision because the Interstate
Commerce Commission must accept as
final the Interpretation of the COM
modities clause and will necessarily
compel the hard coal companies con-
trolled by railroads to dissolve their
relationship with the carriers. The
decision of the Interstate Commerce
Commission commented upon in these
dispatches last week had been delayed
until the Supreme Court acted.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, which ten years ago instituted on
its own motion an investigation into
the rates on anthracite coal and the
control by railroads of mining COM
panies, can make its decision effective.
which will be more far-reaching by
reason of the present decision.
This is the third time the Third Cir
cult Court has been unanimously re-
versed in commodity law by the United
States Supreme Court. The other cases
were those of the Delaware and Hud-
son and the Lehigh Valley Railroads.
In the opinion of the Department of
Justice. the District Court of the
United States for Eastern Pennsylva-
mia, in Philadelphia. before which is
pending the case against the Reading
and other companies for violation not
only of the commodities clause, but
the Sherman antitrust act, will follow
the decision of the Supreme Court in
Its decision on the commodity clause.
This clause was argued last June. The
defendants are:
The Philadelphia and Reading,
The Philadelphia and Reading Coal
Company,
The Central Railroad of New Jersey,
The Lehigh and Wilkes Barre Coal
Company,
The Lehigh Coal and Navigation
Company,
Wilmington and Northern Railroad,
Lehigh and Hudson,
Lehigh and New England.

FULL CREW LAW
UNJUST SAYS REA
Declares Governor Has No Reasons
to Justify Action in Veto
ing Repeater

Regarding the veto of the act repeal
ing the Full Crew law. for which an
active and expensive campaign was
conducted, President Samuel Rea, of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
yesterday authorized the following
statement:
Speaking for the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company. the most important
transportation agency of our State, and
with $4,000 of its s2.5oo stockholders
living within the State. can only say
that we are surprised and disappointed
at the Governors action in vetoing the
Crew law, which was passed by the
Legislature to correct a gross injustice
TO the railroads of the State and relieve
them and the public of the onerous and
wasteful expenditure which the Full
Crew law imposes on them
The people of the State have shown
have the railroads relieved of this bur-
den, and the Legislature, after full con-
sideration and careful hearing, passed
by large majorities this measure, which
vested specifically in the Public Ser
vice Commission the power to fully
safeguard the interests of the public.
There is no well-founded reason or
fact given in the veto to Justify it, and,
while l am entirely satisfied that the
public should form its own judgment,
IT seems proper that particular atten-
tion should be directed to the fact that
the very purpose of the bill. namely,
to empower the Public Service Com
mission of the State to require railroad
corporations to employ an adequate
number of men upon their trains is
singularly ignored in the veto, not
withstanding that 1t practically meets
every objection advanced by the Gov
ernor.
The financial condition of the rail-
roads throughout the country to-day Is
already well known, and on economic
grounds alone there never has been
any valid reason why they should be
bound by statute to employ a stimpu-
bound by statute to employ a stimpu-
and freight trains. irrespective of
necessities or conditions. The Legisla-
ture has adjourned, and therefore the
action of the Governor in the exercise
of his power has reimposed this in
justice on the public and the railroad
companies for at least another two
years, and places upon them an un-
warrantable burden during that time

STAR LARGER THAN SUN

Paris, June 23.-Canopus, supposed
by some astronomers to be the center
of the universe, has recently been
seen frfom French observatories in
Algiers and Morocco by astronomers
who have reported their observation
to Camille Flammarion.
while by reason of its distance,
Canopus is, to us, reduced to the pro-
portions of a star" he says. sit is a
formidable sun, two million, four hum
dred and twenty times larger in vol
ume than our sun; it is equal in
volume to three billion one hundred
forty-siX million earths. 1t is distant
from us the equivalent of four hun
dred eighty-nine years of light travel.
The rays of Canopus that reach us to-
day started on their way in 1926, trav-
cling two quatrillion eight hundred
seventy-flve trillion miles. Canopus is
invisible in northern latitudes but may
be seen frfom the observatories of
Constantine and Boghar in Africa"
