ATTEMPT TO HOLD UP
NEWARK YOUTH
Four Men, Evidently Anna.
teurs Try to Stop
Automobile

Gilbert Chambers while on his
way to Wilmington after the dance
on Saturday night with some young
people from that city, was the vic
tim of an attempted hold-up near
Richardson Park.
Four desperate looking men
presumably white, two armed with
flashlights, and two having BAN
danna handker chiefs with which
they probably intended to gag their
victims, made an effort to stop the
machine.
Young Chambers put on speed
and ran them down, thus making
his escape.
On reaching Wilmington, he met
Paul Swayne who had Travelled
over the same road just ahead of
Chambers. He reported a similar
experience with a lone highway
man and told of a car just back of
his which had likewise been held
up. The matter was Immediately
reported to the Wilmington police
The occupants of the car got 6
good view of the men, who were
apparently middle aged and un
armed.
Chambers and another youns
man travelled over the same roat
on the way home to Newark bu
failed to see any thing of the high
Waymen.

CARS COLLIDE ON
SOUTH COLLEGE AVE
Occupants Hurled Out But
Escape Serious Injury

A Studebaker passenger hack
owned by A. c. Stiltz and operated
by Harry Knoll, collided with
Ford truck belonging 20 David Nc
Mullin on Saturday evening about
7.30 on Depot Road near the en-
trance to the home of George L.
Townsend.
Both machines were proceeding
at fairly rapid gate and in some
way the wheels of the hack locked
with the front wheels of the truck,
breaking the steering gear of the
former car and bending the axle.
This rendered the car unmanage-
able causing it to swerve about
over a culvert and into the field
adjoining the A. G. Wilkinson
residence where it overturned.
Young Knoll, the driver, and sew
eral college boys who were pas
sengers, were thrown out but es-
capped injury other than a severe
shaking up.
Mr.. McMullin also escaped in
jury but his car was badly wreck
ed. Both front wheels were broken
off.
The Stiltz hack was going to the
Women's College for students and
chaperones who were to attend the
Student Council dance. The Nc
Mullin truck was on it's way tc
Newark.

to Assembly in Nutshell

"I have found it hard sometimes
to do the things which your close
associates want you to.
~ have not been able to do some
Of the things that I have been urged
to do, 1t was not because of the
heart, but because my better judg-

Members of this Assembly can

record of achievement Of this Legis-
lature is the greatest in the history
of Pennsylvania.
Speaking of the Philadelphia
charter, Governor Sproul said:
ut will permit Philadelphia to
organize a government at once
simple. concrete and effective.
The Governor praised the "hu-
mantarian legislation which he
said would put Pennsylvania in the

HOUSE APPROVES
TEACHER PAY RISE
Woodruff Bill Goes to Governor
for Signature-vote
1872 to 8
MEASURE PASSES AT 8 A. NJ.


Harrisburg. June 26.-The Woodruff
bill increasing the compensation paid
public school teachers awaits the Gov
ernors signature.
The bill was passed by the House at
3 o'clock this morning after consider
able debate, although the opposition was
able to muster only eight votes as
against 1872 favorable votes.
School teachers who had been lobby
ing for the measure had gone to their
hotels hours before, disappointed that
the bill had not passed the Legislature
yesterday They expected it to be re-
ported out this morning from a con
ference committee.
The Woodruff bill was reported to
the Senate and House after a confer
cnce committee had a long conference
with Governor Sproul,
Cut Two Amendments
The committee struck from the bill
two amendments inserted by the Senate,
which would have increased the cost
to the state by $1,000, 900. These
amendments proposed TO have the state
and districts pay a straight so per cent
of all increases. The committee in
creased from So to $40 a month the
amount the state will pay toward the
increase granted to teachers holding
provisional certificates in second, third
and fourth class districts.
. Also the definition of a "rural' school
was changed. As originally written
into the bill, rural" school would be
one in the open country or any one
or two room school. not high school.
The new definition classes as a
rural" school, any school in the coun :
try or small center of population, which
is not a high school. The provision
authorizing the superintendent OF public
instruction to be the final judge of a
rural" school, is retained.
RepeaIs Pay Provision
A provision was inserted to repeal
that section of the school code which
commits the state to pay part of the
minimum salaries of teachers. When
the school code was passed it pro
yided that in each district where mini
mum salaries were less than the amount
fixed by the code. the state would pay
the difference. This required an ex
psnditure by the state every two years
of about 50 10000 from the genera
funds appropriated to schools.
Repeal of this section returns this
sum to the state, but the committee in
serted another proviso that it must be
used in paying salary increases. 1t vii
now be available for meeting increases
granted by the Woodruff bill. This will
raise the total to be paid by the state
every two years for increased salaries
to So, 400, 900.

vania In a few days. He said the chief
reason he signed the salary increase bill
for members was so they would not
have to make such sacrifices in
the future. Tremendous applause
greeted the close of the Governors re-
marks.
As soon as Speaker Spangler finished
thanking the executive, members of the
House broke forth into strains Of
Farewell, FAREWELL
The joint committee to escort the
Governor into the House comprised
Senators Eyre, Chester; Leslie, Allie
gheny, and Sones, Lycoming, and Rep
resentative Hess, Lancaster; Cans,
Philadelphia, and Davis, Of Cambria.
The 1910 session adjourned sine die
at II. .33 o'clock.
A slight row in the House threatened
the otherwise pleasant closing of the
Assembly, but serious trouble was
averted.
y Representative William McCaig, of
Allegheny, just before Speaker Spang-
Ter declared the Assembly adjourned, in
troduced a resolution to expunge from
the records "all derogatory remarks
made about members Of the Assembly
during the session.
A similar resolution had passed the
Senate.
Cox Makes Objection
Representative f. r. Cox. Philadel-
phia. at once raised an objection. He
was sustained by other Ware members.
After Representative w. T. Ramsey,
Chester. explained the purport of the
resolution and announced that an agree
ment had been reached among the lead
ers. it was put through by an over
whelming vote. When Cox was inter
rogating McCaig he asked who was to

plunged from the records.
