FIREARMS NOW
UNDER STATE BAN
Governor Calls Attention of
Local Authorities to Situa-
ton Which Has Arisen

All mayors and officers of munich
pailties in Pennsylvania charged
with public safety were to-day called
upon by Governor Brumbaugh to
enforce to the letter the laws of the
state regulating ownership, possess
sion and use of firearms. The action
of the Governor is the first of the
kind ever taken and he asks popular
support for the movement, noting
that the laws forbid unnaturalized
foreign-born residents from owning
or possessing firearms.
The Governor says in his notice:
The preservation of the peace and
safety or the people of the Common
wealth at this time requires constant
vigilance and the strictest enforce
ment of the law relating to the use
ana possession of firearms and other
deadly weapons. Your attention is
therefore directed to the several acts
of Assembly relating to this subject
matter:
The act of March IS, 1875, p. l..
SO, prohibits the carrying of firearms
or any other deadly weapon con-
cealed.
The act of May s, 1909, as
amended by the act of July IL. 1917,
L. L. 719, makes it unlawful for any
unnaturalized foreign-born resident
within this Commonwealth to either
own or be possessed of a shotgun or
rlf1e OF any make, or a pistol or fire.
arm of any kind, and the presence
of such shotgun or rifle i'm a room,
or house, or building, or tent, or
camp of any description within this
commonwealth occupied or con-
trolled by an unnaturaliZed foreign
born resident is prima facie evidence
that such gun is owned or controlled
by the person occupying or controll-
ing the property in which such gun
is found and renders the person
liable to the penalty imposed by the
act.
The act of June 6, 1918, P. L.
454, prohibits the discharge of a
shotgun or rife or firearm of any
description upon grounds of a hos
spital, park or any such public resort
The act. of July IL, 1917, P. l..
SIT, prohibits the discharge of a
shot gun. cannon, revolver or other
explosive device at any wedding
serenade in this Commonwealth.
With these comprehensive meas
ures provided by the Legislature it
remains but for the constituted au-
thorities in the various parts of the
Commonwealth to enforce their pro-
visions in order to insure the con-
tinuance of the peace and safety of
the people. and this they are called
upon to do "

GAME ENJOYING
GOOD CONDITIONS
DR.. Kalbfus Says That Reports
He Gets Are Indicative
of Splendid Hunting

Reports reaching this office are
to the effect that this is a good
Matching season for game and l
think that all in all things are favor
able to game birds and animals and
after the good care taken by sports
men of the quail last winter there
should be fair hunting this autumn, E"
said DR.. Joseph Kalbfus, secretary of
the State Game Commission, after
some visits to hunting counties and
scanning of reports coming to the
office.
The weather has not been un-
favorable. There are some who
think that it has, but l do not think
so, and the reports show that the
birds are Matching and are numer-
Gus. There have been few fires and
the weather conditions have been of
the kind to produce the food needed
at this time. The April snow caused
some loss, but we feel sure that May
has been a good month.
I'VE have been sending out pheas-
ant eggs and they are being looked
after carefully by the sportsmen and
l believe the reports we will get will
be good. The interest taken is a
fine Indication"
According to letters which are
coming here there will be a general
application for an extension of
closed periods on game of various
kinds which expire this year. There
are almost score of counties
wherein restrictions placed few
years ago to allow game to propa-
gate will expire and inquiries made
are indicative of intention to ask that
they be renewed. Allegheny is the
largest of the counties where this
sentiment is reported as gaining. All
but thirteen of the counties in which
petitions for closing to shooting of
ruffed grouse for the two-year period
have filed their papers.
Work will be started this month
on tn enew State game preserve of
5000 acres in Union county. The
men now engaged in Dauphin will go
to Union. Work is to start on the
Forest county reserve, which is
leased land. as soon as papers are
signed.

To Make Local
Movies Next Week

A. ]. Duffy's laugh-producing
vaudeville feature. Making Movie
Stars" will be seen at the Majestic
theater for the week beginning Mon
day. This novel offering to the
vaudeville stage is brim full of the
unusual In the first place 1T is far
removed from the commonplace acts
seen at variety houses in that the
majority of persons engaged in the
presentation are drafted from local
talent who have a desire to advance
themselves to the position of stage
or movie stars. There ais wide
field open for such talent and the
presentation of this act affords OPP
portunity for many to display their
ability and as result nestle into a
huge salaried position. The act,
therefore, serves a double purpose.
1t is tremendously interesting and Il
brings to the attention of producers
much hitherto hidden talent The
discoveries are made in this mannef:
The curtain rises on Making Movie
Stars with the full stage set with a
complete moving picture outfit. Lo-
cal players are invited to take part
in the acting of picture that is to
be made directly before the audi
chce. Selections are made from The
applicants and those who appear
most adaptable for the various roles
are chosen. At each performances
during the week a picture will be
made. Who knows but what thc
showing of Making Movie Stars"
will bring out worthy successors to
Mary Pickford. Annette Kellermann.
Douglas Fairbanks, Charlie Chaplin
and others whose salaries run into
the thousands of dollars yearly? 1t
will be mighty amusing to see the
first efforts of would-be stars of the
screen. The sequel to this will also
be of great interest. The pictures
taken during the week will be shown
on the screen at the same theater
within two weeks after being taken.

BEAT BONNIWELL,
SAYS DIR. SWIFT
And-Saloon League Chieftain
Says Democrat Must
Be Defeated

Beat Bonniwell' has been made
the slogan of the Anti-Saloon League
of Pennsylvania, according to a
statemen. issued yesterday by the
prev. Or. C. F. Swift, the state su-
perintendent of the league. From
expressions from active memb bers,
the Anti-Saloon League in different
sections OF the state the great body
of the members of that organization
Will vote for William c. Sproul for
Governor.
With the excitement of the pri-
mary contest over" said DR.. c. F.
Swift yesterday, and the smoke of
battle clearing away. the Anti-Saloon
League finds itself in splendid shape
to enter the contest in. the fall cleo
ZION with every promise of victory.
While all the results of the pri-
marieS are not as some good people
had hoped they would be, yet the
field is now cleared and the success
fu, nominees in all parties have been
named and the league is in the field
with candidates from Governor down
pledged to ratification. We are re-
ceiving congratulations from all
sides that during the primary con-
test the league kept itself clear from
all factional, partisan and entang-
ling alliances.
The lines now seem to be clearly
drawn insofar as the question for
which the league stands and for
which it contends. is concerned. viz:
That of ratification of the Prohibi-
tion amendment.
The Anti-Saloon League expects
to prosecute even a more vigorous
campaign at the fall election in the
support of candidates pledged for
ratification than it did in the spring
primaries. Our slogan now is, beat
Bonniwell.' We therefore call upon
all true and loyal friends of our
cause to get ready for action and
swing into line for a final and de-
cisive victory for ratification.
Since ii is a foregone conclusion
that thirty-six states of the union
will ratify the Prohibition amend
ment early in 1919: it is hardly rea-
sonable to conclude that any large
number of loyal patriotic citizens of
our Commonwealth will go on record
as refusing to join the large majority
of the states which will ratify the
amendment that seeks the highest
good of the greatest number of
homes and people.
The Pennsylvania League, under
the direction of its appointed author
tiles, will conduct a campaign in ev-
cry county and district in the state.
where IL is necessary in the interest
of candidates who are pledged to
ratification, and will do all in its
power TO place the Keystone state
among the thirty-six which will rat
ify the amendment at the next met
