resigned months before. Mr.. Trinkle
remained in the service of the commits
sion at the request of Attorney General
Brown, but declined to stay longer
than June 1. The position of counsel
pays $500.
Mr.. Collins was talked of for the
vacancy created when John Mona
CHAN, one of the commissioners
named by the Governor last May, was
elevated to the Philadelphia bench.
but the pleas of friends that the place
should go to Philadelphia resulted in
the naming of James Alcorn, former
city solicitor of Philadelphia, whose
appointment was announced last night
when that of Mr.. Monaghan to the
bench was given to the public. The
commission will contain two former
city solicitors of Philadelphia when
Mr.. Alcorn qualities which is expected
to be on Monday.
Alcorn Big Man
Mr.. Alcorn is we'll known here as
he was frequent visitor to Harris
burg during the administration of Ed
win S. Stuart. who was a close per-
sonal friend from boyhood days. He
was candidate for Superior court and
also for Republican delegate -at-large
in the interest of the Governor last
month. Mr.. Monaghan is regarded
here as one of the ablest of the public
service commissioners and was very
well liked at the Capitol.
The Governors displacement of
Oliver men on the Pittsburgh Regis
tration commission which occurred
last night is regarded as likely to be
followed by changes on the Hill. AL
though James E. Roderick was re-
appointed chief of mines recently ii
is likely he will retire within a year
and there may be changes in the heads
of the printing and other departments.
Banking Commissioner William H.
Smith will not be disturbed The ap-
pointments of Insurance Commission
er, manager of the Insurance Fund
and fire marshal are expected next
week and then changes among lesser
officials will start.
The Governor turned the Pittsburgh
registration commission inside out as
he did the Philadelphia commission on
the morning of the meeting of the Re-
publican State committee and as he
did the Democratic end of the Scran-
ton commission. L. r. Goshorn and
j. Scott Morgan were named as the
Republican members to succeed Wal
ter j. Christy and c. w. Wilbert and
w. L. McCullagh succeeded James
Campbell, Democrat. David L. Law,
renee, Democrat, was the only one re-
appointed.
Governor Wants Aid
Governor Brumbaugh left the city
yesterday about o'clock to spend the
weekend in Philadelphia and the ap.
pointments were announced at 6, af.
ter he had reached Philadelphia. The
Governor has steadfastly refused tc
discuss possible appointees, but said
that in making selections he wanted
to have friends when the next Legis.
lature came around. This is taken tc
mean that the Governor looks fol
trouble from the legislators who will
be elected and who will not be ir
sympathy with him or his policies.
1t is expected that selection of g
highway commissioner will be made
soon and the friends of ]. Denny
O'Neil are becoming active as they
think that as the local option cause
has not been getting much recognition
lately the standard bearer of thai
movement in Western Pennsylvania
should be recognized. Secretary oi
Agriculture Patton, Chief Engineer w
D. Uhler and Agricultural Commits.
sioner Frank S. Black are also being
mentioned
