Initiative Legislation
Is Upheld by Court

Philadelphia, Pa, May 8. - The
initiative and referendum legislation
of June 81, 1913, received judicial
sanction yesterday in the State Su-
preme Court when Justice Mestrezat
filed an opinion upholding the right
of the citizens of Wilkes Barre, Pa,
to repeal a contract for lighting the
streets of that city.
The litigation was the result of a
fight between Mayor John V. Kosek
and City Councils on one side and
Frank p. Slatterly, Dictrict Attorney
of LuZerne county and the citizens
on the other. The dispute was over
a lighting contract awarded to the
Wilkes Barre Company by councils
in October, 1916. A petition signed
by 20 per cent of the voters protest
ed against the awarding of the con-
tract. Councils refused to entertain
the petition and this action was sus-
tanned by the lower court.
The Supreme Court, in reversing
this ruling holds there is no am
biguity in the referendum article
and directs a mandamus be issued
against the Mayor and Councils and
the question of the lighting contract
be submitted to the voters.

 1t emerged this afternoon from conference between the two houses in which items involving more than S7S0,000.000 had been in dispute and went thru tine Senate in record breaking time without the formaity .of a roll call.
 The bill carries S5,355, ,956,0iG.93 of direct appropriations, and authoriz- es the government to enter into con- tracts for S2,40l ,i5S, ,39350 more, al- most entirely for war purposes, in cluding the navy's great destroyer program. In conference subsistence .of the army for which the House had voted Sl75,000000 and the Senate S32i 100000, was provided for in a compromise of S250,000000.
 Probably the largest appropriation in the bill is for the ordnance de- pertinent of the army, which gets S695, 100000 for purchase, manufac- ture and test of mountain, siege, and field cannon, and $225,000,000 more of contract obligations authorized, together with $663000,00O of cash and S777 100000 of contract obliga- tions authorized for ammunition
