Military Training
Bill Gets Hearing

Colonel E. +. Steever, who intro
duced military training into the
schools of Chicago, and P. S. Mann,
of the War Department, warmly
urged military training for the
schools of Pennsylvania at a hearing
before the House Military Commit
tee, the Colonel saying that the fine
record of the Twenty-eighth Division
was due to the long training it had
as National Guard units. The hear
ing was held on the Scott bill which
is similar to the Daix bill in the
senate. In Chicago, said Colonel
Steever, training was at first made
optional and because it was so sue
cessful it was made compulsory with
excellent results. Mr.. Mann said
that it was being generally adopted.
Colonel Edward Martin, State COM
missioner of Health favored the bill
with the optional clause and Prof.
William Shaw, of Philadelphia, ad-
Vocated training. The bill was op-
posed by Stanley Yarnell, of Ger
mantown, and James Fl. Maurer,
president of the State Federation of
Labor.

LEGISLATURE NEWS
STATE UNITS TO
BE SYSTEMATIZED
Senator Smith Presents Bill
Which Will Provide Method
For Various Actions

A bill designed TO clarity the sit
uation in regard to suits against the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, was
presented in the Senate at the late
afternoon session yesterday. 1t desig-
mates the courts where suits are to
be brought and was read in place
by Senator Frank A. Smith, Dauphin
county.
In suits in assumpsit upon con-
tracts they may be brought in the
common pleas court of Dauphin
county, and suits in trespass to re-
cover damages for injuries or death,
phin county court or in the county
where the damage was done.
The purpose of the bill, it was
said, is to overcome the decision of
the State Supreme Court which has
declared that special acts of the
General Assembly permitting the
State to be sued are unconstitutional.
Governor Sproul has already vetoed
several such special acts for the rea-
son given by the Supreme Court.
The Smith bill is the second one
introduced in the Legislature de-
signed to cover the same question.
The other measure would create a
Court of Claims to try all suits
against the State. This bill is in the
Senate Judiciary General Committee
and was considered briefly to-day
with the result that a committee of
three will call upon the Attorney
General to discuss the question of
how suits against the State may be
brought in view of the Supreme
Courts opinion.

uay When 1t had a hearing on the
Phlpps bill for the establishment of

put Senator Buckman, president pro
tenn of the Senate suggested that n
solution would be for a third iudee
IN Dauphin county to handle State
claim cases.

the Court of Claims bill brought TO
the committees attention the uncon-
stitu - ality of all special acts pass
ed BY the Legislature which give
individuals the right to sue the State.
IN trespass cases for damages. He
said that persons suffering injuries.
OF property damages had no redress
since Justice Simpson, of the Su-
/ preme Court had rendered a decision
declaring these special acts uncon-
stitutional. Mr.. Arid said he drew
the special court bill simply to call
the attention of the Legislature to q
condition that exists to-day that pre-
vents anyone. having a claim for
| damages against the State securing
any redress.
| The members Of the committee
were impressed with the statement
of Mr.. Arid and it was during the
discussion that Senator Bucknan
