Senate Decides. SO to
13. in Favor Of Wip-
ing Present Act off
the Statute Books /.
NOW RESTS WITH
THE GOVERNOR
Burke and Beidleman Argue in Favor
Of Retention of the Measure, but
the Trainmen's Supporters Are
Hopelessly outnumbered in the Bal
loting

The full crew repeater found its way
to the desk of Governor Brumbaugh
to-day by reason of passing in the Sen.
ate last night by the overwhelming vote
of SO yeas to 13 nays. The bill
passed the House some time ago.
There was q very large crowd of
railroad officials and railroad trainmen
on the floor of the Senate last night
in anticipation of a regular oratorical
setto over the final vote ON the repeal.
er. The trainmen were represented by
their legislative committee and mem,
bers of the organization from all parts
of the State, while the railroad COM
panies were represented by some of
their most prominent official heads
from all along the line. Every seat in
the gallery was taken and the floor was
crowded three deep around the bronze
rail. Among the spectators were a
number of women.
When the bill was reached on final
passage Senator Kline, President Pro
Tem., who was in the chair, cautioned
that there be order among those pres
ent, and recognized Senator Burke, of
Allegheny, an old retired railroad con-
ductor, as the first speaker.
Burke Opposes Repeater
The Allegheny Senator said he spoke
for the safety of the men who run the
trains and of the public who travel on
the trains when he opposed the repeal
of the full crew bill He dissected the
evidence given by alleged experts be-
fore the committee in behalf of the re-
nd 20, thof
not experts in any sense and had been
guilty of numerous loose statements to
bolster up their cause. The full crew
law, he maintained, was force in con
serving lives and property, and the cry
of the companies that they are paying
money for service not rendered was, he
said, false one and should not be
needed.
Senator Beidleman attacked the re-
pealer with much vigor. He asserted
that the full crew law is a wise and
just one-one that was devised not
only for the safety of the people, but
to conserve the best interests of the
railroad trainmen, who would be the
losers should the bill be repealed. SEN
ator Beidleman had read q letter pur-
porting to have been written by Gov
ernor Brumbaugh during the campaign
in which the Governor said he favored
anything that would prove to be for the
best interests of the workingmen.
=, The Vote on the Bill
There was no speech in favor of the
repeater. When Senator Beidleman
finished the roll was called on the final
passage of the bill, the result being
as follows:

ADAMS WANTS PRESIDENT TO
HOLD GERMANS TO ACCOUNT

Representative Adams, of Luzerne
county, introduced resolution at the
opening of the session of the House of
Representatives last night condemning
the alleged action of the German nation
in sinking the Cunarder, Lusitania, as a
deed "worthy of none but barbarous
and uncivilized people, and calling
upon the President of the United States
for drastic action in compelling an
apology and guarantee that such deed
shall not be permitted to occur again.
The reading of the resolution called
forth chorus of "noes' and the reso-
luton was laid over under the rules.
The introduction of the resolution fol-
lowed prayer by Chaplain Stanley, in
which he asked for Divine guidance for
the President and his advisors Gin this
crisis"
The following resolution, introduced
in the Senate after long preamble re-
citing Germany's alleged actions in
sinking vessels and killing American
citizens, was offered by Senator Jen-
kins and referred to the Committee on

UNCLE HARRY EXPLAINS THE NEUTRALITY PUZZLE

Uncle Harry smiled as he replied:
"Boys, all this war business is ter
rible, but L can't help smiling, for
you to have hit on the very argument
that people are having all over the
United States, and all over the world
for that matter. But maybe l can
explain the matter to you. First of
all, remember that these guns and the
ammunition that are being made in
this country and shipped to the Allies
and millions of dollars have already
been made on this trade-are being
manufactured by private business con-
Germs, not by the United States Govern
ment. They are being sent to the AL
lies because the Allies control the seas.
Germany has great factories for manu-
featuring war materials and it may be
that she doesn' t need to buy these
supplies from our country. But if she
did need them American manufacturers
would be only too glad to sell them to
her, but Germany will not buy right
now because she cannot carry the war
materials home. just the same Ger
many says that the war materials made
in the United States and sold to the
Allies are helping the Allies to fight
Germany, and that therefore, the Unit
ed States is not neutral. Germany
wants the United States to put an sem
bargo' on the shipment of war ma
terials to the Allies, which means that
our Government would have to stop
these shipments, or else tell the Allies
that they must allow ships from Amer
lea and other neutral countries to car
ry food supplies to Germany
"Won't the Allies allow that'"
asked Jimmy.
"No, the Allies have declared
blockade of all German ports and say
no supplies of any kind can be sent
into Germany. That was done because
the Allies said Germany's submarines
were trying to blow up all ships carry
ing supplies to England.
"It looks as though both sides were
trying to starve each other,' said Joe.
"That s exactly what they are try
ing to do, said Uncle Harry. ''In the
meanwhile, our Government is trying
to obey the rules of international law
and be neutral, according to those
laws. As matter of fact boys, L
don't think the idea of helping one
side or the other has anything to do
with the sale and shipment of war
materials The manufacturers of guns
and ammunition are simply trying to
make as much money as they can out
of the war. So far as our Government
is concerned l feel certain that it will
be absolutely neutral and do nothing
to help either side.
"And as both of you-you Jimmy
and you Joe, have given me such good
definitions of neutrality and listened
so attentively to our discussion. |

timated that this measure would raise

The House passed the Sproul Senate
bill which places the cost of primary
elections on the various counties, by a
vote of 1872 to 81. This means a saw

monwealth

amended on third reading to provide
that no part of the Attorney General 8

vides that the State may escheat GER
tain unclaimed moneys which have
been held by various banks and trust
companies for a stipulated period, also
was on the House calendar for final
disposition, but was amended.

HUNGRY DOGS PUT IN ARMY

Washington, ID. c., May 11.-Fine
dogs in Alaska are hungry because the
Bureau of Fisheries has no bone for
them, its money for canine diet being
all spent. They will be turned over
to the Army Signal Corps for use in
the northern territory; but when the
FISHERIES Bureau needs dogs, they will
be returned.
The decision to detail the dogs to
temporary military duty was reached
only after the legal experts of the War
Department decided that enough of the
military appropriation could be used to
insure that these dogs, ordinarily en-.
gagged in civil pursuits, be well nour-
ished

was defeated last week, and the. bill
was placed on the postponed calendar,
to be brought out again this week.
Shortly before midnight, when the
bill to consolidate the Eastern and

second reading, Senator McNichol en-
deavored to have it sent back to com.
mittee, but this was opposed by Sena.
tor Thompson, of Beaver, who declared
that the intention of McNichol was to
let the bill die in committee. McNich-
oil made an earnest speech against the
bill, which he said would place large
cost on the State, but the Senate de-
fested his motion to send the bill back
to the committee by 81 to IL.

''How would you like to go to the
circus Saturday afternoon9" asked
Uncle Harry. 'Won't cost you g
cent, and quarter extra for peanuts
lemonade and the side-shows! How
about it boys!'

have asked Joe and Jimmy how they
would like to be introduced to Walter
johnson or Christy Matthewson, and
have either of the great pitchers ex'

they bounded from their chairs and

each had had the same thought at the

they were back beside the reading

Uncle Harry laughing.

Before Uncle Harry could answer
Jimmy added: "But that s only one
of the things it says. A little farther
down the column it also says: Gnter-

from taking part, directly or indirect
