POLICE BILL IS
REPORTED OUT
House Committee in Charge
Decides to Send It to the
Legislature at Once

Tho Buckman bill to increase the
State police force by 102 was affirma-
lively recommended by the House
Committee on Judiciary Special late
Yesterday afternoon. The bill passed
the Senate this week and will be on
first reading in the House on Monday.
Considerable sentiment in favor of the
bill is reported by its friends who are
urging its enactment so that the force
will be increased in order to take care
of any emergencies which may arise
after the guard goes into the national
service.
The Schantz bill relative to appoint
ment OF police for manufacturing cor
porations has come out of the COM
mittee in the Senate with the power of
appointment restricted to justices of
the peace of any township in which
the plant may lie wholly or in part.
The persons named can only be citi-
'zens and a resident of the county for
six months.
The Thomas fire arms bill, which
requires a license to carry weapons,
was affirmatively recommended by the
House committee after a strenuous
discussion.
The committee which heard the
mime cave" bill will have another
hearing shortly for opponents of the
bill
The hearing on the anthracite code
set for to-day was postponed because
of the absence of the appropriations
committee in Pittsburgh where in
spections are being made.
The Ramsey third-class city bill is
to be on second reading next Monday
in the House.

STATE FUND WILL
MEET THE BILLS
Not Hurt by the Compensation
Claims Resulting From the
Canonsburg Disaster

Albert L. Allen, assistant manager
of the State Workmens Insurance
Fund, announced to-day that the wild
ows and children of fourteen miners
killed by an explosion at the mine of
the Henderson Coal Company near
Canonsburg. March 10, will receive
approximately $4,000 in workmen's
compensation from the State fund.
Claim adjusters of the State fund
have been working on the adjustment
of these claims since the day of the
accident. OF the fourteen men killed,
seven were between thirty and forty
years of age, and seven between twen-
ty and thirty. Ten of the victims were
married and are survived by ten wi
dows and twenty children under six
teen years of age. All the widows and
children are entitled to workmen's
compensation in accordance with the
terms of the Pennsylvania act. As
sistant Manager Allen is working to
have all agreements adjusted SO that
compensation payments may begin
without the loss of benefits for a single
payday by the widows of the victims.
The resources of the State fund have
been in no sense seriously affected by
the $4,000 outlay to cover this catas-
trophe, according to Assistant Man
ager Allen, as the compensation insur-
ance rates for coal mines are deter
mined in amount so that the aggre-
gate coal mine premium, including eX-
cess insurance, will afford ample pro-
lection for the State fund, as well as
for other insurance carriers against
such catastrophes. The total pre-
MUM income of the State fund for
this year, it is estimated, will aggre-
gate $1,250,000.

GRAIN

CHICAGO, March 23.-Sharp ad- vances in the price of wheat today re- suited largely from reports of severe crop damage in Nebraska and Kansas. The market closed strong, 17s to AZ net higher, with May at s1.905s to A and July at s1.602s to $. Corn fin ished 23s to 3 up and oats gained l 1s to 1%. In provisions the outcome varied from the same as yesterdays Windup to 15c higher.
 Although further destruction of American shipping and lives was re- sponsible for considerable of the strength in wheat, the upturns came chiefly after traders had given atten- tion to the crop damage advices.
 Corn, as well as wheat, showed un- usual activity, and ascended to a new high price record for the 1916 crop. It was contended that receipts here were likely to remain small, and that orders given to railroads to move corn from Illinois elevators would result in large amount of export holdings be- ing started for Baltimore and New Or leans. Oats ranged upward in sym pathy with other cereals. Illinois points reported a keen demand from the south

ID RECONSTRUCT
 JIM bAKER'S CABIN

CHEYENNE, Wyo., March 24.-The first cabin built in the Rocky Noun tain region by Jim Baker, famous fed eral scout, Indian fighter and big game hunter, is being shipped here from near Bags, Wyoming, and will be reconstructed in it's original state in Frontier Park as a monument to the trapper of half a century ago.
 Jim Baker was known, all over the west for his deeds of daring and many residents of Wyoming, Colorado and Utah still remember hlm
 He was born in observation-disclosures, December 19. 1918. As a youth he chafed under the restraint of "civili- Zation" and as soon as he reached young manhood he broke away for the frontier In 1888 he joined a company of recruits for the American Fur com pany and travelled with them up the Missouri river into Wyoming and spent some time as a trapper and buff falo hunter in the Jackson hole coun- try.
 Baker was a stalwart, long-haired, griZZled out-of-doors man and had an Indian wife. He was unable to endure the restraints of modern clothing for more than a few days at a time. On one occasion he had resolved to return ! to the Mississippi valley and buy farm with the money he had made in trapping. He became involved Tn game of Spanish monte, a popular card game of the time, and lost his Whole fortune, 5000
 Baker bore many sears of his bat tles with Indians and animals. Once a i friend brought him modern rifle rom the east and when he was learning to manipulate it the whole side of his face was mutilated by a discharge.
 Baker died in 1898 at the age of 80 years.
