ler, of this city, and her roommate,
Miss Juniata Baumgartner, of

showered on the girls who met for
the first time to-day and whose lives
will be so closely interwoven at
college.
Last evening Miss Mildred Runkle
and Miss Helen Runkle, of 1901 Re-
gina street., were hostesses at a sur
prise party for Miss Hertzler, pre-
senting her with a fountain pen

MANDAMUS NOW
UP TO THE COURT
Lively Close to the Argument
in the Snyder Proceeding
Yesterday Afternoon

The question whether Auditor GEN
eral Snyder must recognize the ap-
poirtments of four State officials ap-
pointed by the Governor after ad-
journment of the Senate. which had
rejected their nominations, the big
gest problem left by the Legislature
of 1917, Is now in the hands of the
Dauphin county court. The argu-
ment on the mandamus brought by
Secretary of Agriculture Patton, Su-
Perintendent of Printing Long, Com
missioner of Banking Lafean and
Commissioners of Fisheries Butler was
concluded shortly after o'clock yes
terday afternoon before Judges Kun
kel and McCarrell, who received briefs
and reserved decision. Only Auditor
General Snyder, of all the men par
ties to the act, was in court The
petitioners did not appear.
Gabriel III. Meyer. of the Auditor
Generals Department. closed for Mr..
Snyder and Attorney General Brown
spoke in rebuttal. Neither minced
words. Mr.. Meyer was sharp in his
references to the course of the Gov
ernor. Mr.. Brown DENOUNCED men
who opposed the State Executive
There have been few addresses heard
in state cases in recent years which
were marked by as much bitterness
as that of Mr.. Brown.
Case to He Appealed
No matter which way the court de-
cides the case it will be appealed.
1t was evident yesterday that both
sides were putting down foundations
1t is also probable that the Auditor
General may take the course of in
stituting quo warranto proceedings
to get all sides of the question before
the Supreme Court.
The Auditor General yesterday
moved to quash. The Attorney Cen
eraPs Department, representing the
officials and the Governor, declared
that course was stopped because an
answer had been filed. There were
criticisms of the haste of the Attor-
ney General and of his use of the
name of the Commonwealth because
Mr.. Snyder considers the men private
citizens. Harry S. McDevitt, for
Mr.. Snyder. and w. M. largest.
for the petitioners. fought out the
motion to quash, and then Deputy
Attorney General w. II. Keller and
Mr.. Meyer hammered out the main
question. Mr.. Keller said that the
use of the name of the State was

Snyder to try the title of the officials.
but for the legal end of the Govern
ment.
Mr.. Meyer promptly proceeded to
try the constitutional side, although
Judge McCarrell asked whether the
men had not been commissioned by
the Governor after the Legislature
adjourned and for the period until
the end of the next Senate. Mr..
Meyer said that the State had the
spectacle of an auditor general elect
ed by the people taken into court for
doing his duty and protecting the
people by refusing to recognize ap-
pointments made "in open defiance"
of the constitution. Mr.. Meyer read
Judge McCarrelrs speech -in the Sem
ate in the Waller case and then said
that some one on the Hill had to pro-
test against taking the virility from
the constitution and assailed the Gov
ernor for placing himself above the or
gar law of the State, charging that
men had been placed in office in a
manner fatty against. the ideas of
Curtin and other trainers of the pres
ent constitution. Roosevelts ap-
pcintments, he said, had never been
tested in court, and as for Hensers
opinion in the Watchorn case, the
eminent Lancaster lawyer was the
Attorney General of the men he ad-
vised. Mr.. Meyer closed by declar-
ing that the men holding office were
usurpers and that the Auditor General
was doing his duty in doing as he did.
Browns Sharp Reply
Mr.. Brown opened by declaring that
the comparisons made were odious
and asking the court to get the
atmosphere of the Legislature, pro-
ceeded to tell of some Incidents.
He declared that never, by word
of mouth or in print, has any man
dared to impugn the character of the
four officials who appeared in this
case as petitioners. The Senate alone
had cast aspersions on them by re-
jecting them.
The Attorney General said he had
advised the Governor not to send in
the names of his nominees until the
close of the session, but only after an
experience. He had previously ad-
vised the Governor to send two Lom-
nations to the Senate, one of a coun-
ty officer in Mercer county, and the
other of Superintendent of Public
Printing Long. Both nominations
were withdrawn. and the Attorney
General said he then advised the
Governor to send in no more nomina-
tions until the last day.
Mr.. Brown referred to the high
standing of the men appointed by the
Governor, who were represented in
the court proceeding.
Then dramatically he closed with: :
IF 1t is the last word say, it is that
not one OF these men was appointed
