GOVERNOR HAS

Has Been Asking Significant
Questions of Visitors TO
the Capitol Lately

The question of whether the situa-
alton in regard to congressional and
legislative apportionment is of seri-
Gus enough character to warrant the
call of the General Assembly of
Pennsylvania in special session has
been under consideration by Cover
nor Martin G.. Brumbaugh and it is
understood that he has asked the
opinion of number of the men who
have been his visitors on the sub
Ject. The present apportionment
dates from the special session of
1906.
When the dry amendment was Put
up to the states early i'm the winter
the Governor considered q special
session, but figured out that the men
now holding the right to seats would
not ratify it.. Now he has learned
that the opponents of the amend
ment have been setting up candidates
right and left and reapportionment,
which is called for every ten years,
would enable some changes to be
made which the Governor seems to
figure would help get votes for the

The Executive has declined to
make any statement, saying that all
he has to communicate now he is
putting into his speeches, but that he
may have more to say later on.
More or less surprise was mani
Tested at the Capitol at the idea of a
special session for reapportionment
as it would cost a quarter of u mil

on which apportionment is based, is
due in two years, there were doubts
expressed as to how late efforts to
make up for failure to act in the
last four sessions would be taken.

AGAINST SMOKES

DRY AMENDMENT
Is ENDORSED BY
SCHOOL TEACHERS
Directors Favor National Pro-
hibition; New Officers
Elected

The necessity of children in the
high and vocational schools being
instructed and taught the cause, the
why and the wherefore of the great
war, was strongly emphasized by Dr.
Samuel Hamilton, superintendent of
Allegheny county. who addressed the
twenty third annual convention of
the directors department, the Penn
sylvania State Educational Associa-
tion, at the Technical High School
Auditorium this morning. DR.. Ham
ilton declared that the children
should know the dishonorable prac%
tees of the Teuton diplomatic corps.
His address was eloquent and time
ly, and met with approval from the
convention. A resolution asking that
5000 copies of his speech be printed
and distributed to directors and su-
perintendents, was passed by the as
semblage unanimously.
AT this mornings session Millard
B. King, director of Industrial Edu-
cation, spoke on THE Smith Hughes
Bill and its Relation TO Pennsylva-
MIA" Reports of various committees
were read. 1t was decided that work
on the revision of the constitution be
postponed until next convention.
Resolutions were passed thanking
the Harrisburg School Board for
their kind hospitality and cordial
treatment of the convention; urging
the teachers to actively respond to
the appeals of the President, and
asking them to support the Junior
Red Cross heartily. 1t was resolved
that the next session of the Legisla-
ture be asked to appropriate $22,-
100000 for schools. Appropriations
will include sums for transportation
of pupils to schools. and for the
Teachers Retirement Fund. The
State Legislature will be asked to
ratify the amendment of the national
constitution, prohibiting the manu-
facture or sale of Intoxicating
liquors.
These officers were elected unani-
mously, following the report of the
nominating committee:
President. w. G.. Davis, McKees-
port; first vice-president,. Mrs. E. S.

price in his sale. Erskine Meyer, a
Philadelphia twirler, was showing
his loyalty by signing a contract for
less salary and announcing that he
was going to be a winner this sea-
son. There is difference in baseball
stars.
The result of the Tech -Steelton
game will be watched closely to-
night. 1t is the first game with
Red" Huston as the leader for the
Maroons. To date Huston has taken
part in three Central-Penn League
contests, and has totaled SO points.
In two of the games he participated
only half of the contest The Read
ing game was his first full tilt. Seven
field goals and 22 fouls is what he
has done for the Maroon. He plays
a forward position, and is quite an
expert as a dribbler. Foul shooting
is his speciality. In the York game
he shot 13 out of 15 trials Against
Reading he rung in 10 out of IL.
One of these fouls was later dis
counted from the Tech total, be-
cause of an erroneous ruling.

Academy Cancels Contest
With York County Five

Harrisburg Academy has been
forced to cancel it's game for Satur-
DAY with York County Academy
There has been no practice for the
Academy quintet this week as there
had been no school until yesterday
when many of the students walked
to the school grounds. This and
other reasons has been responsible
for the canceling of the game.
Practice for the events in the
Greek-Roman track meet will begin
next week. This is to be run off in
Chestnut Street Auditorium as in
previous years. A large number OF
entries have handed in their names
for this annual event. The date set
is February Is and the meet will be
