All the Dauphin
County Mem
bers Cast Votes
Against Measure
The Governor
Praised andCriti-
cised Severely in
Speeches Before
the Balloting

The Williams local option bill, en-
dorsed by Governor Brumbaugh, was
defeated in the House of Representa-
tives this afternoon by a vote of
12S to 7S.
This was a personal defeat for the
Governor at the hands of the legisla-
tors.
It was the measure that the Govern
or was more eager to have passed than
any other in this session and he had
declared that he would take the stump
in the next campaign against any
member of the House who voted
against it.
The decisive vote by which the bill
ELL makes it improbable that any at
tempt at reconsideration of the vote
will be made in the present session of
the Legislature or that any new option
bill win be introduced before the next
session.
The four Dauphin county Represen-
tatives, Messrs. Swartz and Wildman,
representing the city, and Messrs.
Young and Nissley. representing the
county, all voted against the bill.
The roll call on the vote was started
at 2.54 o'clock this afternoon after a
long and bitter debate which started
at II o'clock in the morning.
The Official vote was: for the bill,
IS; against the bill, 1913.
Representative Maurer, Berks coun-
ty, president of the American Fedora
tion Of Labor, did not vote
While the vote was being taken on
the bill Governor Brumbaugh remained
at the executive mansion. He had
made no statement at time of going to
press.
The House adjourned, until 7.3O
o'clock this evening, just after the
vote was taken.
Senator Ware, who was supposed to
have held the balance of power in the
local option vote this afternoon, said
that he considered the local option
question moral and not political
one, and had not endeavored to infiu-
ence any of the members of the Legis-
lature from Philadelphia.
Of the Ware delegation in the House
four voted for the local option and IL
against it.
The local option bill, favored by Gov.
ernor Brumbaugh, was taken up in the
House this morning at IL O'Clock. Aft.
er first limiting the speakers to twelve
minutes each this limit was withdrawn
Debate started Immediately, and it
will be late this afternoon when the
question goes to a vote. 1t was fore.
casted at the opening of the session
that the bill would be defeated, but the
friends of the measure would not con.
cede this.

opened at 10 o'clock, which was one
hour before the local option bill would

Troop Transports Arriving Daily at

Berlin, Via Wireless to Sayville,
April 21.--The e'Tages zeitung" to-
day publishes special dispatch, the
origin Of which, however, is not given,
saying that 10000 British and French
troops have been landed near Enos, in
European Turkey, on the north side of
the Gulf of Saros. A heavy cannon
aiding took place between the Turkish
batteries around Enos and the warships
of the allies.
A dispatch received in Berlin from
Athens says great activity has been
noted among the British forces on the
island of Lemnos, which lies to the west
of the entrance to the Dardanelles.
Troop transports are arriving daily at
Lemnos from Alexandria, Egypt; the
censorship is more rigid, and all indi-
cations point to strong action against
the Dardanelies at an early date.
A dispatch received in London yes
terday from Dedeagatch, Bulgaria, a
short distance west of Enos, said vio-
lent cannonading occurred on the Gulf
of Saros Sunday evening. The firing
was so heavy that buildings at Dedea-
Catch were shaken.

Personally We remember some trading
done with native Fiii Kanakds some
fifty ,ears ago. They had harmed q
that but little about the valnsipf coma.
They knew that silverwas valpAble but
rejected copper or gold alike, Tho slfl-
ors Of the ship and the atives'however
did much trading. The natives sell,sg
fruit. vegetables, chickens, pigs etc,
wbilesailors gave silver coins, old els,hee,
etc. in exchange. Soon however; the

an ingenious sailor who was englged ia

some quick. silver and quickly converted
big "duwp" into abig shinning s!silver"
coin. He had no troubleSin exchanging
his four cent value for young big and
his mess had supper that night, Later,
others did the same, but, soon, vi found
that the astives began to doubt our 4ew

the same with eyes, and teeth, Then
we asked one, who had learned y little

PRoGREss or THE WAR.

Along the Belgian iise,the report is:as
ssnal. Considerable heavy fighting ~sith
no special results except killing and
sounding many men. The hea~ieal
fighting seems to be against the Eag
Nsh and Canadians.
In the far .east after long fight, The
Germans seen to have let up and both
armies ape about in the same position q
xeek or ten days ago. There is some
speculation among military critics as t.
Why tho Germans have not pressed the
Russians farther after driving them SC
1ar. The new .complicatlons and need Of
munitions and men an the Itahsn front
are sueseatsd as possible causes.
The event of the week was the expect.
ed declaration Of war by Italy Agains,
Austris. While Italy hss large mum.
her Of trained soldiers and doubtless has
been busy the last nine months in max.
ing all preparations, and also has a
strong navy. yet &or the time being she
will have some ohsticles to overcome be
fore she can become aggressive. Praehi
cally all the good ports of che Adriatic
are on the eastern side aud these ane
owned and mostly strongly fortified BY
Austria. On the boundary at the north,
the Austrians hold the strategic posi-
tions among the Tyrol mountains. Per.
haps the greatest influence that Italy
will have for The present is that it will
neccessitate large Austrian and Ger.
man army to guard the frontier,
and thus weaken the Teutonic forces at
other points where it looks at this dis
tsnce as il they are greatly needed.
At the Dardenells, there have been
heavy land battles in which the Turks
failed to drive the allies FROM the south
end of the Galipoli peninsula, both sides
having severe losses.
Germany has not as vet answered the
note Of the United States except to tor
pedo several more neutral vessels includ.
ing an American steamer. Perhaps these
are rather busy days for the Germans.
