THIRD CLASS CITY
BILLS ON WAY
Both Houses Will Act Upon
Them During Coming Week
According to Plans

The third-ciass city amendment
which would provide for the election
of men to fill vacancies in councils
by the members of the councils will
be passed in the Senate next week and
sent to the House. The bill was pre-
sented by Senator f. e. Beidleman at
the request of the solicitors of third
class cities and will likely go through
early.
Another third-class city bin which
is attracting attention is that to per-
NIT cities to appropriate money for
public band concerts which will be
in the House next week. The bill to
provide that city controllers must
sign all warrants will come out of
committee next week, it is under
stood. The Maurer bills to permit
cities to engage in the milk and coal
business will be considered next week.
A bill which is attracting atten-
tion is that of Mr.. Smith, Fayette,
which would make boards of viewers in
counties between 10000 and 1.000,-
600 receive salaries of S1,S00 each.
phin and York would come under the
bill if it becomes a law, before very
long. The counties that would be
affected at once would be Berks, Lam
caster and Schuylkill among others.

PRINTING KNOT
IS SENT TO BROWN
Attorney General Will Decide
How the Business Is to Be
Conducted

Attorney General Brown was to-day
asked TO entangle the knot which has
been tied between the executive and
the legislative branches of the State
Government over the public printing.
The Senate held up the Governor s
nomination of d. Edward Long to be
superintendent and in order to permit
advertisement for bids for the four
year contract to be made and work to
go on passed Il concurrent resolution
giving the chief clerk the power of
superintendent in case of a vacancy.
The Governors office has declined to
laccept this action on the ground that
lit is legislative interference with a de-
partment of the State Government.
Bids will be asked for printing and
orders will be given and Mr.. Brown
will speedily give n decision, which if
lit upholds the Governors contention
Will result in another tense situation
as the Senate will then be charged
with holding up business and attempt
ing to do things without approval of
the Governor.
1t is said that r. II. Hendrickson,
a Pittsburgher recently put into the
place of chief of distribution of docu-
ments from which DR.. j. NJ. Esler, of
Tarentum, was asked to resign, has a
bee buzzing to become superintendent
in the event that Long goes down. AS
Hendrickson is n protege of Senator
w. j. Burke, an ardent Brumbaugh
man, he would probably have a rough
time in the Senate, despite his belief
that he could get confirmed
Chief Clerk Bell will not take any
chances signing the payroll until the
matter is cleared up.

PROBE BILL WILL
BE UP MONDAY
House Action Is Being Eagerly
Awaited by People at the
State Capitol

The Senate resolution for the probe
into the government of State, county
and city in Pennsylvania, will be the
big thing in the House on Monday
night while the Oakley paintings are
being unveiled in the Senate. The
administration forces are said to be
planning battle against it and an
attack upon it as unfair, but they
have given up hope of accomplishing
much because of the attitude of the
Democrats who will vote for it in the
end.
The Democrats will renew their eff
fort to get into the bill the Washers
amendments which were ruled out of
order in the Senate. These provide
for the creation of high commits
sion' of eminent citizens. The Demo-
Gratis will make the same grand
stand" play that they did in the Sem
ate with a speech or two thrown in.
Governor will do. His friends predict
that he will veto the resolution with
a scathing denunciation of the plan,
much along the line that he suggested
in his letter to the Senate. 1t will
take a pretty good-siZed vote in the
Senate to override the veto, which
will furnish one of the biggest battles
in years in the Legislature.

Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition be careful what Won
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is
very. harmful. Just plain mulsitied
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless) is much better than
the most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing. as
this can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub 1t in. One or two teaspoon
fuls will make an abundance of rich.
creamy lather, and cleanses the hair
and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses
out easily. and removes every particle
of dust, dirt dandruff and excessive
oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly
and 1t leaves 1t fine and silky, bright
fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get mulsiHed cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap, and a few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for months.

Common garden sage brewed into a

through your hair, taking one small

vivors. Many of the passengers and
crew were thrown from their feet and
besides the five killed instantly more
than a score were injured by flying
splinters.
Unable to Lower Boats
All alike hurried, although in per-
feet order, for their assigned boats.
But the California was already begin
ming to settle by the stern, although
her headway was carrying her for
ward so rapidly that it was impossible
to lower the boats. She went down SO
rapidly that one or two of the boats
were already borne up by the water
when released from the davit-heads.
Many of the passengers and even
more of the crew had to jump from
the .sloping decks into the boats or
into the icy water, from which they
were hauled with difficulty.
One of the boats on the port side aft
was swamped just as the California
disappeared and nearly every person
in it was drawn down with the liner
and drowned
Captain Henderson remained on the
bridge until the last possible moment
and then dived into the sea, being
picked up by a boat. The chief engi-
neer. Smith. Engineer Cunningham
and Third Officer Simpson were lost.
Within nine minutes after the warn
ing bubbles had been seen nothing was
to be seen of the California save the
little cluster of lifeboats, few bits of
floating wreckage, three or four bodies,
which were recovered. and the little
oily, le-fringed whirlpool which
marked the spot where she went down.
Used Ship as Shield
Statements by survivors of vessels
recently sunk show that in one case a
submarine operating in the war zone
employed a steamer which it had
seized as place of temporary refuge
for crews of other vessels attacked
and sunk.
The survivors who told of this pro-
cedure were from the Norwegian sail.
ing vessel Songelv and the Furness
liner Turino. The captain and twenty
nine or the crew of the latter were
landed. Her first engineer and three
of her firemen were killed.
On Board Two Days
The crews of both vessels, the sur
vivors relate, were on board an un-
named Italian steamer for two days.
The German submarine operating here
used this Italian vessel, which 1t had
armed and provided with a crew OF
six, men, as a ship to stand by and
receive the crews of sunken ships.
After the crews of the Songelv and
Turino had been on board the Italian
ship for two days they were trans
ferred to the British steamer Pen
mount, which was ordered to take
them to port. The Germans also
transferred from the submarine to the
Penmount Captain Smailes, of the
steamer Hollinside, who had been
taken on board the submarine as a
prisoner when his vessel was sunk.
His crew of twenty-five were left in
open boats, he reported. and are still
missing.
The intention of the submarine was
TO sink the Italian vessel before re-
turning to Germany, according to sur
vivors.
